A/N: OMG, so this story continues... I hope the chapter was worth the wait. :'( I'm sorry! XD And I REALLY need ideas so if anyone has any, let me know. :P Ugh, so here's the story in case any of you care. My dear sweet mother took my laptop with her to Florida for work purposes...and brought it back a week later informing me that it commited suicide. That's right, it is completely FRIED. All my stories, videos, and everything is GONE. Long story short, I literally broke down crying in the middle of Target when I was informed of this. That's how important my computer was to me. :'( lol So now I am using her boyfriend's laptop whenever I can to write (when I'm supposed to be doing my schoolwork...:P) until we finally get me a new one. And, once again, I have no Microsoft Word. -.-' I'm back on WordPad. Dang, I had Word for like, what, two days? Great. Well, enjoy anyways. (I'm officially saving EVERYTHING on my flashdrive now. I ain't makin' THAT mistake again.)

DISCLAIMER:

KHFreakOZoid: *crying in a corner* MY BABY! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE?
Zexion: *patting KHFreakOZoid on the back* There, there... Oy, she owns nothing. Especially not a computer.
KHFreakOZoid: *meep* :'(

AXEL'S POV

I didn't know where I was going. I just knew I had to get the hell out of there. I already felt the tears start to well up before I even left the room. If he saw me cry I'd never be able to do it.

But...as much as I love him...I just can't stay with him. God, I finally had him...I finally was able to call him my own. I finally had everything I ever wanted.

And it sucked. I couldn't do it. I couldn't let Roxas make that kind of sacrifice for me. His injuries weren't bad, but...this was just one time. Did I honestly think it would stop there? No. Eventually someone bigger than Seifer would come along. Hurt him even worse. And there was nothing worse than the thought of my innocent little Roxy getting hurt because of me. I would never be able to live with myself if something else happened.

Because of me... This was all my fault. No one would've hurt him if it wasn't for me. He wouldn't be in the nurse's office if it wasn't for me. It was my fault...

I finally felt a tear trickle down my cheek and I headed into the bathroom before anybody saw me. I locked the stall door behind me, burrying my face in my hands, sobbing quietly.

"Axel? Is that you?" Apparently not quietly enough...

I tried to find my voice. "Uh, yeah, Sora. What's up?" I asked from inside my stall, managing not to let my voice break, but you could still tell my nose was stopped up.

"Are you okay?" he sounded concerned.

"Uh...yeah, fine...," I lied. It didn't sound the least bit convincing.

"Open the door." Unwillingly, I complied. He looked down at me and I didn't meet his eyes. I knew I looked pretty pathetic. "What's the matter?" he asked, kneeling down to my level like I was a child. That didn't help my pride much.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, not answering. The tears I'd been holding were starting to give me a headache...

"What happened?" he tried again. I glanced at him. He didn't have the expression of pity I had expected. It was purely curious. I took a deep breath, deciding where to begin.

I started with the first kiss last night, which Sora wigged out about. He was happy but still furious that Roxas had failed to mention it. It didn't surprise me. The poor kid would've never heard the end of it from Sora. When I managed to calm Sora down enough to tell the rest of the story, his smile disappeared slowly the further I got. I told him about our brief PDA this morning and how overjoyed I was when Roxas actually seemed to enjoy my touch. I told him about the odd stares we'd gotten in the hall. I told him about Namine taking the pictures and her son-of-a-bitch brother beating up the very reason for my existence. He and I were quite angry by the end of my story.

"That...that-! Ohh, I never liked Namine! I mean, I always knew she'd end up hurting Roxas, but this is low even for her!" Sora looked like he wanted to punch something, which was odd for someone as innocent as him. I had yet to say anything since the end of my story, afraid that the anger and the tears would cause my voice to break. "But...you know, Axel, as much pain as you think Seifer put Roxas through-" I winced. "-I know it couldn't hurt him as much as the thought of losing you..." I looked at the brunette in front of me. "He needs you right now, Axel... I'm his brother; he tells me almost everything. Whenever some crap went down with Namine, he'd always say how he just wanted to talk to you...you make him feel better, Ax. I don't think you realize how much he cares for you..."

I didn't know what to say. All I knew was that I felt even worse thinking about how I'd hurt him even more now by leaving him after one stinkin' day... I got up, heading for the door. Sora didn't ask where I was going, but then again he probably already knew.

I walked back down the hall heading back to the nurse's office. I probably was still red and puffy but that was the last thing on my mind. I walked into the office, surprised to see the blonde was no longer there.

"Can I help you, Axel?" I looked over to see the nurse, Ms. Gainsborough looking at me. She looked concerned; possibly due to the dried tears on my cheeks.

"Uh, yeah...do you know where Roxas Strife went?" She checked her clipboard and looked up at me again.

"Yes, his mother came and checked him out. He went home a few minutes ago." My heart sank a little. I sighed and thanked her anyway, turning to take my leave. As soon as I did, I had an idea...

ROXAS'S POV

It was over. It was seriously over. My life...my life officially had no meaning. I had finally found love...real love. And it was taken from me before I'd even lived it. I couldn't-

"The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and, I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him, she came along got him alone and let's hear the applause, she took him faster than you could say sabbotage."

I stopped, and walked towards my window.

"I never saw it coming wouldn't have suspected it, I underestimated just who I was dealing with, she had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum, she underestimated just who she was stealing from."

Was...was the music coming from outside? What the...? I peaked out the window and Axel's smiling face looked up at me as he continued to sing and strum his guitar.

"She's not a saint and she's not what you think, she's an actress who, and she's better known for the things that she does, on the mattress whoa, soon she's gonna find stealing other peoples' toys on the playground won't make you many friends, she should keep in mind she should keep in mind there is nothing I do better than revenge." He strummed the last chord, waiting for a reaction from me. I gave him a half smile from my window. I felt my heart flutter. He began to play again, this time a softer melody.

"There I was again tonight forcing laughter faking smiles, same old tired lonely place, walls on insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face, all I can say is it was enchanting to meet you." I felt my eyes burn with tears, and I walked away from the window, heading down the stairs...

"Your eyes whisper 'have we met?', across the room your sillhouette starts to make its way to me, the playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy, and it was enchanting to meet you, all I can say is I was enchanted to meet you."

I stepped out my back door and his head whipped around to look at me. He smiled hugel and continued to sing, slowly walking over to me.

"This night is sparkling don't you let it go, I'm wonderstruck blushing all the way home, I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you."

I felt two tears trickle down my face and I smiled. He smiled back and my and lifted a hand to my face, wiping my tears with his thumb. He looked down at his face and took a deep breath. "Roxy, I'm so-"

"Shh," I shook my head and placed two fingers at his lips. I sighed. "Just kiss me, you jerk." I half smiled and he returned it, granting my request.
