It's Got To Be Love-AkuRoku
Chapter 5
A week had passed and Dr. Jenkins was happy with my condition and said I could go early! It felt great to be out in the fresh air again, to hear the birds singing and to feel the wind on my skin. I smiled because I missed being outside, I felt like a prisoner in the Hospital. They wouldn't let you go outside or anything, you just had to stay in bed, listen to the heart monitor and look at the dull walls around you. There was absolutely nothing to do, the only company I had was Dr. Jenkins but he wasn't there because he wanted to, just because he had too.
"Ah, Roxas enjoy your new care home and wrap up warm! Just wait here while I ask the receptionist about my next meeting." Dr. Jenkins informed me as he went back inside. It must have been 10 minutes till the taxi came with a grinning Leon.
"Hey mate! Feeling better?" Leon asked, still grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"I'm good, can we go now? Seeing these sick people are making me feel ill" I answered. I looked up hopefully.
"Well first I'm going to talk to Dr. Jenkins about your medical records so I can give it to your new care home. Just put your things in the car and wait in the cab. I'll only be a sec" Leon told me, I walked over to the car and put my things in the boot. The taxi-driver looked scary; he had black and white hair put into a ponytail, an eye-patch, a scar running across his face and a cigarette in his hand. He started puffing and started talking to me "And what's your name?" he asked, throwing the cigarette out of the window.
"Roxas, I hate my name" I answered, must have a shit reputation from that scar he has.
"Your names better than mine, my names Xigbar mate. Who's that man picking you up? He's pretty cute..." Xigbar asked. I looked at him weirdly, it's no surprise he's gay.
"He's my social worker, his name's Leon." I answered.
Xigbar's eye lit up "Is he single?" he asked.
"Yeah I think so, but I don't think he's gay..." I replied. Xigbar's face dropped. "Sorry" I said, hoping to cheer him up.
"It's not your fault Roxas; it's just that I've never found anyone that I find attractive. I've only ever had one relationship, his name was Xaldin, but he ended it."
"You should ask Xaldin why he broke up with you, beside you have a right to now anyway" I explained, I had just met him and he was talking to me about his love life. Too be honest I just wanted to end this awkward conversation.
"Yeah you're right I will, I deserve to know why he ended it, sorry to talk to you about this. Ah here's Leon now." Xigbar smiled as Leon got in the car.
"Can you drive us to Cranberry Drive please? We'll walk the rest of the way" Leon asked.
"Sure Mister" Xigbar said as he started the car. Leon said it only lasted 30 minutes, it felt like an hour. I guess it was because of Axel, I haven't seen him since last week and there hasn't been a word. I feel really bad about it, nothing makes Axel cry. Demyx has tried to find out what makes Axel cry but I've found out. Me.
"Come on Roxas, we're here" Leon said, holding all my bags. I nodded as I got out, I looked at the ancient and dingy house, there was graffiti all over the walls and some windows were smashed.
"Is this where I'm living?" I asked shocked.
Leon chuckled "Of course not! This building was the old post-office; we need to walk up further to get to there" Leon laughed.
"But why didn't Xigbar take us there?" I whined.
"I thought you could use the fresh air" Leon said smiling "Look there's the house you're staying at". Leon pointed the largest house on Cranberry Drive, it looked great. The front garden had a large marble fountain and a sign named 'Organisation XIII'. When I was with Axel he refused to take me here, I had no idea why, it was beautiful.
When we finally got to the house, Leon knocked on the wooden door, it had every single child's name on the door that had lived here and I couldn't help but notice but notice that Xigbar's name was carved in, along with other unknown names. I think I was going to like it here...
A tanned man with silver hair greeted me and Leon; he led us inside. I was shocked to see marble stairs, a 40 inch flat screen TV and not a spec of dirt anyway. I've been to so many care-homes but this had to be the best, even though I was going to be sharing it with other children...
"Greetings Roxas, my name is Xemnas. Would you like me to show you to your room?" Xemnas asked, Xemnas was obviously the head care-worker. His black suit was impeccable, a badge with a picture and description of Xemnas carefully clipped to his pocket.
"Y-Yes please" I stammered. My palms were sweating, I was really nervous about living here; we'd probably have to have a shower every 2 hours so we don't get dirt anywhere. I followed Leon and Xemnas up the steep stairs, they were chatting about rules and that. I wasn't really listening, I was worrying about seeing Axel, and he was probably with Larxene anyway. My blood boiled at the thought of her, she's a fucking slut and I have no idea what Axel sees in her! She's a stuck up bitch, she obviously jumped at the chance to be with Axel when we weren't together anymore because she had already slept with everyone else. She didn't love Axel for who he was, she obviously just loved that he was a boy and the only one that didn't hate her.
"Here's your room Roxas" Xemnas opened the door with my name carved in at the top. Xemnas must have a lot of money if he replaces every door with a new name. When I saw my room I was speechless, the room was massive and right next to the window a luxury bed was perched. The sheet felt like silk, the cover was perfect. It was stripy, red and black. I loved it because it reminded me of Axel, I really missed him. There was a small TV on the wall opposite my bed, I was amazed the Xemnas let have a TV in our own bedroom! Ok, now I was really puzzled why Axel hated it so much... A wardrobe was perched next to the white door; there was a desk to work at for your homework. Xemnas smiled at my surprised face, "Like it?" he asked chuckling. I nodded as I ran my hands along the red painted walls.
"Ok, I'm gonna head off now Roxas. I'll come in a week to check up on your progress. See you later mate!" Leon explained as he waved and closed the door. I waved back and sat on my bed.
"I need to go through the rules with you Roxas.
Ok, rule 1: You must make your bed every morning after you've woken up. Rule 2, on school days you must get up at 7.00 sharp! No exceptions unless your seriously ill. On weekends you can sleep until 9 o'clock maximum. Rule 3, you must be asleep by 10 o'clock, absolutely no exceptions. Rule 4, breakfast is at 7:30 don't be late. Lunch is at 12:00 sharp and dinner is at 6 o'clock. Rule 5, you are not aloud to be out with your friends on school nights, although on weekends you are aloud to stay out till half 9 no exceptions Rule 6, every Saturday you must do your 5 chores. Rule 7, if you break any of these rules there will be serious consequences." Xemnas sighed. "Sorry but I had to get that of the way. Ask everyone else if you cant find something, I've got some paperwork to file.". Xemnas shut the door quietly as he left.
Ok, now I understand why Axel hates it so much...
*Knock, knock*
"Come in" I said loudly. A pale, small girl stepped in. She had short black hair with a fringe that covered her face. She wore a pair of baggy, black jeans and a black t-shirt. "H-hi, my n-n-names Xion" she whispered "I hope you like your room".
"Yes I do thank you Xion. My names Roxas" I explained, happy I already knew someone.
"I think you'll like it here, well bye Roxas" she said quietly as she silently shut the door. Hmm. She was weird. I looked at my watch, it was 11 o'clock. I sighed at how slow time was, I turned the TV on with the remote and watched 'Eastenders'. I don't know why I watch it, its shit anyway but it passes the time so anyway... as I watched Bianca have another fight with Ricky I slowly drifted off to sleep.
A/N: Sorry it's getting a bit boring, but on the next chapter it's the whole Larxene and Axle thing, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry if there is any really visible mistakes but im tired already so I probably make mistakes. Please carry on reading and review! ThankYou! ;)
