When Axel woke up he leaned down to kiss the blonde who was in his arms when he fell asleep but his lips wet met with a pillow. Axel opened his eyes in questioned and saw a pillow in his arms taking up the place where the blonde used to be. Axel smiled a bit and stood up. He walked downstairs he saw Sora and Cloud trying to scrub blood out of the carpet in the living room. Axel raised an eye brown and looked around for Roxas.
"He's in Father's den." Sora said answering the redhead's un-asked question.
"Right there. Big double sliding doors. Can't miss it." Cloud answered the redheads other un-asked question. Axel didn't even want to know how they did that he just walked into what he assumed was the den he saw the blonde sitting on the floor criss-cross-apple-sauce style looking at a book.
"Wacha got there Blondie?" Axel asked dropping down next to him, struggling to sit criss-cross-apple-sauce.
"A photo album. Wanna look?" the redhead nodded and moved closer to Roxas.
The photos were of three blondes and two brunettes. It was a family photo. Roxas and Sora looked only one or two and Cloud looked three or four. There was a tall buff brunette man and a short petite blonde woman, something that surprised Axel was their parents both had different eye colors than their children, the woman had green eyes, similar to Axel's, and the man had gray eyes, but all three children had blue eyes that shun like the ocean. "Where did you get your eyes from?"
"Our aunt Aqua and uncle Ven. I guess it was passed down from our mother, even though she doesn't have blue eyes, most of her family does."
"Do you have a picture of your aunt and uncle?"
"Yea, right here," the blonde moved his hand to show a wedding photo of a beautiful woman with blue hair and blue eyes and a handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"You look exactly like a mini version of your uncle."
"Everyone says that. Supposedly when he was a child he looked just as I do."
"You don't believe it?"
"Well, I guess I have to right? My mom, father, uncle all grew up with my aunt Aqua. They were childhood friends. My mom is related to Ven, if you couldn't tell." Roxas smiled a cute smile. "Aqua and my father almost dated but she fell for Ven and my father fell for my mom."
"Was your father always you know, abusive?"
"No. there was a time where me and father would get along and he would protect me but it changed when I was six. All I remember from that time was being in and out of hospitals for an illness I had. That a bright lights."
"Oh."
"I honestly don't know what I did, I was too weak to move a finger, let alone do any damage to anyone or anything."
"I know what you did Rox." Cloud said from the door. "It's not really your fault. Because you needed all the medical help mom and dad used up a lot of our money and they would argue daily about it. Mom left for a week and I'm guessing that's the week things got bad with you and dad."
"So it is all my fault… everything."
"No. it's just the way things work out sometimes Rox. I promise you, dad loves you, somewhere deep down he knows what he is doing is wrong."
The door shut and Roxas walked out into the living room where his father stood.
"Hello Cloud, Sora." Their father looked at Roxas and lowered his head and walked upstairs.
"I'll be back," Roxas said following the man.
"Rox!" Axel called
"Don't follow me. Just don't." Roxas walked the rest of the way upstairs and walked into his father's room. "Father."
"What is it Roxas?" his father asked in a hard tone.
Roxas smiled and got tears in his eyes. He ran to the bed and hugged his father. "You called me Roxas for the first time in ten years!" surprisingly the older male let out a small laugh and hugged back. "Dad, Cloud told me what happened when I was sick. I didn't know I was that much of an inconvenience. I'm sorry I made mom left then, and I'm almost positive it's my fault again. I deserved everything you did to me dad."
"Roxas," the brunette grabbed Roxas' face a little hard, "I was wrong, it's not your fault. I don't want to ever hear you say you deserved that because you didn't. Roxas I want to say I'm sorry I just got so angry all the time and you were the easiest to blame. I don't deserve a son like you; if I were in your shoes I would have let Sora kill me last night. Roxas I want you to forgive me, and if you don't I understand completely."
"But dad, I've always forgiven you, you're my father. I love you too much to hate you, I hate the things you did to me and sometimes I wished you were dead, but you made me stronger."
"Roxas, you're such a beautiful boy, your sweet and forgiving, I was a fool to hurt you. Which is why I turned myself in to the police for child abuse and rape of a minor. They're coming to get me tonight, I just wanted to say goodbye first."
"No. I don't want you to go. I won't press charges, I'll deny everything. I won't let them take you away from me."
"Roxas, I hurt you, I deserve this."
"NO! You got what you deserved last night from Sora!"
"Roxas, I've hurt you for over ten years, I raped you, and you're protecting me? I deserve to go to prison and much much more!"
"NO! You deserve to live here under the same roof as me and my brothers and live with the guilt that you hurt your son, but you also deserve to be able to work on redeeming yourself! If you go away now I will never forgive you and next time I'll let Sora kill you!"
The man laughed and little and petted the blondes head. "What did I do to deserve a child like you Roxas?"
"Dunno," Roxas replied with a small yawn.
"Are you tired?" he felt the blonde nod in his lap, he laughed a little. "Okay, go to sleep son." Roxas yawned again before closing his eyes and slowly drifting off into a peaceful sleep. When he woke up he heard sirens and yelling, he also noticed the lap he was sleeping on was now gone. He ran downstairs to see the police cuffing his father and the three boys yelling at the cops.
"Let go of my father!" Roxas yelled running to the cops. "Cloud make them stop!" he yelled hysterically.
"I'm trying!"
"He is being arrested for child abuse and the rape of a minor. Please step back!" One of the policemen said trying to get the kids to back off.
"NO! I'm not pressing charges! You can't bring him in!"
"The law doesn't work that way kiddo."
"BUT I'M THE ONE HE RAPPED AND ABUSED! I WANT HIM TO LIVE HERE! I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO TO JAIL! I'M NOT PRESSING CHARGES GOD DAMMIT!" Roxas was furious. "You promised me dad! You promised you wouldn't let them take you away!"
"Roxas, I have no say in the matter! I tried Roxas,"
Roxas started to cry and pull at his father. "Don't leave me!"
Axel stared at the blonde, this reaction was… unusual, after everything his father did Roxas still loved him. 'I guess I can't blame him, I still love my old man. I just never got the chance to make it right with him.' Axel thought to himself. "Let. The. Man. Go!" axel said through clenched teeth. "If the kid isn't pressing charges you have no right to take him away!" (A/n: this probably isn't how it works. Idk. I have absolutely no experience with this but let's pretend! ^-^)
The policemen sighed and uncuffed Roxas' father. Roxas ran to his father and hugged him. The police left and Roxas walked up to Cloud. "What happened?"
"They just showed up burst down the door and started to cuff father. We tried to stop them which is why we were yelling." Cloud explained. "Why aren't you pressing charges?"
"I had a long talk with him Cloud, I never hated him, I hated the things he did, but I love him. And he feels really guilty about what he did. I'm giving him a second chance and I'm asking you all to do the same."
XoXo
Okay so you probably hate me lol but I couldn't have them take Roxas' father away and I don't think I would want my father to go to prison either, but idk if that's how abused people react I was never abused by my mother or father, but I love them both so much I think even if they were to abuse me, I wouldn't turn them in but Terra (if you haven't figured it out yet I went back to whatever chapter I mentioned the father's name and changed it because I liked the story :) so anyway,) from now on will work on his drinking and control himself and become a better person because he really does love his kids and he regrets what he did to Roxas strongly, but this isn't the last of his troubles. There's a lot more drama coming up :D
