Hi, sorry for not updating in like forever. I'm lazy and didn't want to. Well here it is chapter 11 I think.. ^.^
-
The next day was the same. I would go out and run and I wouldn't show up till dinner.
Then Monday Roxas dragged me to the park and we sat on the swings. He was quiet for a while then spoke.
"Have you been avoiding me these past few days?" he asked
I was alarmed that he would think that, and then looked down in shame. I love him but I would run away every time he came near me, because I was afraid that he would hate me because of my past. I sighed.
"Yes and no." I said. Tears threaten to spill over.
"What does that mean?"
I looked up at him and he was watching me.
"I mean that no, I wasn't meaning to avoid you, but yes I was."
"Then why were you"
"I was afraid." I barely whispered.
"Why would you be afraid?" his tone was sweet.
"I was afraid that you would hate me because of my past. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you, that I ran away 'cuz I didn't want hear it end."
A single tear left my eye and he gently used his thump to wipe it away. He stood up and brought me to his body, holding me tight. He whispered in my ear.
"I could never leave you. I love you too much to even think of it."
I cried into his shoulder hugging him.
"I love you to. I love you so much."
The next thing I know he's ripped out of my grasp and I look up shocked. What I see frightens me; I have never seen a more horrid sight other then my mom's death.
My dad had Roxas on the ground beating his face in. he slammed him into a tree and began to yell.
"YOU AND YOUR FRILENDS THINK YOU CAN JUST TAKE MY DAUGHTE AWAY AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH HER. YOU EVEN THINK YOU LOVE HER. YOU DON'T KNOW THE WITCH SHE CAN BE. SHE CAUSED HER MOTHERS DEATH. SHE STEALS FROM ME AND GOES AROUND TO RANDOM PEOPLES HOUSES AND DISSAPERS FOR HOURS!"
I was crying and ran to my dad hitting him in the back
"Stop it, stop it! You're hurting him stop!"
He brought his arm around and hit my head. I was dizzy and couldn't see well. All I saw was a flash of red jump on James back and start beating him. Then I saw Demyx help Roxas up and lead him to a car and Riku ran over to me and asked if I was ok.
"Hey Emma are you ok. Can you stand come on we have to go. Axel can handle himself."
I didn't speak I just stood and allowed him to lead me to the car. When we finally got there everything hit me. I saw Roxas lying beside me. I put his head in my lap and cried. I was whispering to myself while Demyx drove us to the nearest hospital.
"I'm sorry Roxas. I'm so sorry. I love you and won't leave you till your better and healthy. I love you."
So we were at the hospital and Roxas was rushed into the emergency room. His head was cracked open and arms and legs were bruised. I sat in the lobby waiting for him to get done with his surgery. A nurse walked over to Demyx and asked.
"What happened sir?"
He didn't answer he just looked at me. I was still staring at the wall in front of me not wanting any of what happened to be true. So when I spoke I was half out of it.
"my dad" I said hesitantly "My dad started to beat him while we were at the park" I said looking at her.
"Ok and where is your dad now?" she asked grabbing a phone.
I put my head in my hands.
"I don't know." I said hoarsely
"OK. I'm calling 911."
She walked off after that and Axel walked in and ran over to me and started shaking my shoulders.
"Emma what the hell happened?" he asked
"I don't know." I whispered
He shook me harder then leaned his head against my shoulder. I stared at his crying form on my shoulder.
"we were talking and swinging. When he hugged me then he was ripped out of my arms and the next thing I know he's on the ground and dad is beating his face in. No matter how hard I tried or screamed for him to stop, he wouldn't. He wouldn't stop." I said to him
He looked at me with tears streaming down his face. He grabbed my shoulders and shook them.
"Why didn't you stop him, why didn't you notice he was there or that he was fallowing you? Why didn't you do anything, Emma? You could have stopped this from happening. You could have ended it all." he yelled
Riku came and dragged him away from me and while I watched with wide eyes I heard him whispered.
"There's nothing she could of done."
I realized then that, that was a lie and Axel was right. I could have stopped him. I could have ended it a long time ago. If I would have just pulled the trigger the first time then none of this would have happened. Roxas wouldn't be in the hospital and I wouldn't have been such a nescience to the others either. They wouldn't have had to know such a horrible, selfish person like me.
When Roxas got out of the emergency room I went to his hospital room and slept there that night. I didn't leave Roxas' side nobody could drag me away from him. I held his hand and never let go. When he woke up two days later, he smiled and said hey. I cried and called Axel and the others and they came over as fast as possible.
It was a happy time we all laughed and cried. I slipped out and went home to make something for everyone.
~~~~~ Axel P.O.V ~~~~~~~~
When Emma called me and told me that Roxas was awake I rushed over as fast as I could with Demyx and Riku. When I saw his face I was so happy that I forgot about telling Emma sorry for what I said. Soon the nurse tool us we could take Roxas home and on the way he asked.
"Where's Emma at?"
That was a good question. Where did she go? She disappeared when we got there.
"I don't Roxas. I think she left when we got here."
"She said she had to prepare something for us." Demyx said getting in the driver's seat.
When we got home the lights were on, but when we got inside no one was there. But there was a wad of cash and a video camera on the table. Roxas went and read a note that was attached to the camera.
"It says 'plug this into the TV and watch the vid. P.S I'm glad you're ok now Roxy.'"
"I wonder what's on it." I said plugging it into the TV.
When it came on and the video popped up you could see Emma sitting on her bed. She looked sad.
"Hey guys. If you're watching this then I'm already gone and there's no point and looking for me. I just want to say that I'm sorry for all of the trouble I've caused you. I made this so I could show you all of the good times we had together and to show how much I love you guys and how happy I am that I met you." She smiled
"Up first is Axel."
The screen switched from her to pictures of Axel. Some of them with her and some with Roxas, Riku, Demyx, and/or Zexion. And while the pictures went by she spoke.
"Axel I love your pyromaniac, flamboyant personality. The way you can ease a tense atmosphere is amazing. I'm happy I have all these wonderful memories of you. You would always drive me and Roxy to and from school. And when you started to beat my dad you were the best person in the world to me right then and I am grateful for it. That sounds so wrong but its true"
The pictures turned into pictures of Riku.
"Riku you are the best brother I thought I never had. I'm happy we met and that I got to know you. I always loved your hugs no matter what I said. You helped me a lot threw all of this and I'm sorry I'm leaving you so soon. If only it was possible for us to have more time together but it's too late now."
The pictures went to Demyx now.
"Demyx you will always be one of my best friends. You are my hero and I love what you're doing, helping kids like me. Thank you so much it's because you that I'm out of that hell whole I once called a home. You are like a father to me and love you and thank you with all my heart."
Then Zexion came, what few pictures there where.
"Tell Zexion thanks for listening to me, I know he is smart and I love his soft side even if he doesn't show it! Ha-ha I hope he has a good time at collage." She said and you could hear the smile in her voice, but you could also tell she was close to tears.
A picture of her and Roxas holding hands and blushing looking opposite directions, eating sea salt ice cream came up and so the slide continued with pictures of them and Just Roxas and his friends."Roxas…..I love you with all my heart. You gave my life meaning and I'm glad you where my first love, I will never forget you kind smile and words. I love you and so I am sorry for what my dad did to you, I hope you can forgive me for hurting you. I love you Roxas and always will, but that is also one of the main reason have to say good bye, so you don't get hurt because of me, so none of you get hurt again." Next a picture of all of them together smiling and laughing at the park. "So to my beloved family, it was short but well lived I'm afraid this is good bye. If you wish to know what happens to me then you should hear about it on the news" And as a red rose fell from top to the bottom of the screen everything went black and for a few seconds the world seemed to stop spinning, everything was quite and still as we took in what happened.
"Why the heck would she leave us?" Riku screamed.
"Where would she even go?" I asked frantic.
I looked at Roxas as he just sat there thinking. Then Demyx spoke.
"Axel she couldn't have gotten that far. Go look for her."
"Roxas why are you just sitting there come with us to look for her. She's your girlfriend." I yelled at him.
I regretted it a moment later when he looked at me with those sad eyes. The words he spoke broke my heart.
"I don't think she's just running away from us… she might be running away from the world."
"What the heck does that mean?" Riku asked
"She said 'if you wish to know what happens to me then it should be on the news later.' And what's one of the things they put on the news." He asked his voice rising.
"I don't know." I said my brain was such a wreck I couldn't think.
"Yes you do Axel. Think. Suicide that's what." He yelled.
"She doesn't want anyone to get hurt again because of her so she's ending it now." Riku said then he looked at me "she took what you said seriously."
We all ran out the door and into my car when Zack walked up and waved smiling.
"Hey guys I came to see-"
His smiled fell.
"What's wrong?... Where's my sister?"
"She's going to commit suicide do you know where she might be?" Roxs asked.
"Yeah, I know."
He jumped in the passenger seat and directed us to a skyscraper in the city. You could see a figure at the top. Swinging their legs. We all ran up to the top of the building and once we were on the roof we saw her standing on the edge of the building.
~~~~ Emma's P.O.V.~~~~~
I stood on the edge of the building's roof thinking about jumping. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. All I have to do is step forward and I'll be flying and then I'll be with mom. I brought my leg out to step forward and my last thought being
'I'm sorry Roxas I love you'
Just as I closed my eyes and took the step I felt a pair of arms around my waist and pulling me back. I fell on the person that pulled me away from the ledge and was secretly grateful. I didn't want to do it but I have to protect the one's I love so I need to do it. I need to end it now. I opened my eyes which were starting to tear up. I looked up and saw Axel and Riku standing there smiling.
"You shouldn't have taken what I said seriously, I'm sorry I said those things to you. I was just mad at myself for not being there earlier." He said sternly.
I was shocked and happy and scared at the same time. My eyes suddenly went big as I remembered that someone had their arms around me and I was still lying on top of them. I looked underneath me to see a crying Roxas.
I started crying to. I turned around in his grip and hugged him for all he was worth.
"Why?" I stammered
"Because I love you and I never want you to leave me." he said crying into my shoulder.
"But you got hurt because of me." I cried.
"I don't care. It would have hurt me more if you were gone." He said looking up at me.
We stood up and hugged each other lovingly until Riku spoke up.
"Hey he's not the only one who loves you."
"Get in here you to." I smiled
They did and we all hugged when someone cleared their throat behind me. I looked back to see my brother, Zack standing behind me. I let go and hugged my brother. He stepped back and looked at me then at my friends and smiled.
"You have a good bunch of friends so I'm going to assume they can take care of you."
I gave him a confused look.
"I'm going to travel the world and explore. And I might even fall in love. But the point is that I'm leaving but I'll be back some day." He said looking at me then at my new family.
You better take care of her."
"They can take care of me but I also need my brother to take care of me."
"I'm sorry sis but I need to find my propose in life I'll see you later."
And with that he left. I called after him
"I love you bro."
"I love you to sis."
I smiled and looked at my family
"Let's go home." I smiled.
I grabbed Roxas and Riku's hand and ran down the stairs with Axel chasing us. When we made it home I hugged Demyx as he welcomed me back. Then me and Roxas went to sleep, we were both exhausted.
~~~~~ Epilogue ~~~~~~
After everything that day things started to get better me and my family. When I and Roxas got out of collage we got married and had two kids. A boy named Sora and a girl named Kairi. Axel made his dreams come true by being a car designer and he has a very pretty girlfriend that I think he will marry one day. Riku has a family to and we see them every day. Him and Axel lives next door to us. Zack came back to and he did fall in love with a German girl but I don't see him cuz they live in Germany. But he comes over at least four times a year for the holiday and birthdays. So everything ended good and happy.
Oh, and I almost forgot Demyx and Zexion are together to ow they live together and we all visit them all the time. They're not very open about it but we can tell. I'm so glad I met these people, I love them so much.
