Firework

Chapter 13

Abandoned.

Cloud sat in his room with the twins, Zexion, Leon, Riku and Demyx. Roxas was all out of tears but the look on his face told you, if he could, tears would still be pouring out. The cops had stopped by ten times already questioning every single person in the house. Asking about their mother asking about their father if they knew what their mom was doing where their father was if they were covering for him where they were when their mother was killed if they knew how she was killed if she was suicidal or depressed. Sora and Roxas had both broke down during their interrogation which angered everyone in the house.

"Please get out!" Cloud heard Axel yell from downstairs.

"Sir calm down"

"Please just leave you have hurt this family enough! They just found out their mother is dead! Please leave them alone and until you have new news stay away!" Cloud heard the door slam shut and footsteps running up the stairs. Shortly after the door opened and Axel sat next to Roxas, holding him close.

"Thank you." Cloud said to Axel. Axel nodded. Cloud heard the phone ring and jumped out of his bed. He ran down the stairs and picked it up. "Hello?" He asked his voice shaky. He let out his breath.

"Cloud?"

"D… dad? Where the hell are you?"

"I'm out of town."

"What?" Cloud had to fight to lower his voice. "Why the fuck are you out of town! There are cops looking for you everywhere!"

"I know."

"You know! Then why the fuck aren't you here?"

"Because I didn't do anything."

"If you didn't fucking do anything then get your fucking ass here! You are only fucking making it worse on yourself!"

"I can't do that Cloud."

"I swear to God dad you fucking better! You are only hurting our family by running! Dad think of Sora and Roxas! They're fucking messes! Please dad just come home."

There was a sigh on the other end of the phone. "One day Cloud, you'll understand. I'll call you when I think the coast is clear. Until then, tell Roxas and Sora I love them. And Cloud? I love you too. Take care of them please?"

"Dad! Don't you dare!" Cloud heard a click as his father hung up. Cloud slammed the phone back on the station. "God dammit!" he shouted. He slid down to the floor and began to cry. Leon, who had been watching the whole time, rushed to Cloud's side and hugged him.

"It's ganna be alright Cloud. Everything will turn out okay. I promise."

"Leon, what if it's not? What if the cops keep coming around? What are we going to do! Roxas, Roxas won't be able to handle it, Sora maybe, but Roxas? No, he can't. He's fragile Leon. I hate to say it because it makes it seem like there's something wrong with him but there's not, he just can't take this. He's just too fragile Leon."

"I know Cloud, I know, but he'll get through it, I know he will. He has you and all of us. We'll help him. I promise."

"Thank you." Cloud said as he wiped away his tears.

"Anytime." Leon looked at Cloud and smiled. Cloud leaned in and kissed Leon. Leon smiled into the kiss and kissed back. It didn't last long. It was short and sweet. When they pulled away Cloud smiled the first big smiled Leon had seen him smile since they found out about their mom. "Let's get back upstairs." Cloud nodded and stood up. Leon took one of Clouds hands and gave it a small squeeze.

There was a knock on the door and the doorbell was rung. Cloud sighed and looked out the peephole. "It's more paparazzi." Cloud frowned.

Ever since the paparazzi caught wind of the band HEArtS being in the house they haven't left. Cloud sighed and made sure the door was locked and the curtains were closed. Today they just wanted to be left alone. When they got back to Cloud's room Roxas looked up and asked Cloud who was at the door and who was on the phone.

"Dad was on the phone. He knows the police are looking for him so he's hiding somewhere. I tried to get him to come home but he refused. I'm sorry Rox." Roxas shook his head, saying it wasn't Cloud's fault.

"Who was at the door?" Sora asked yawning a little.

"Paparazzi."

"Again?" Axel asked. Cloud nodded. "Do you want us to leave? The paparazzi will follow us and you guys can just have some peace and quiet." Roxas frowned.

"Whatever. If you want to leave then just leave. No one cares." Roxas stood up and walked out of the room.

"What the fuck did I do?" Axel asked bewildered.

"He thinks you want to leave him. He's feeling abandoned because our father refuses to come home and our mother is dead. It's not what you did. I mean, I know you're thinking of us and everything but I think Roxas would prefer it if you stayed." Sora said.

Axel sighed and stood up. He walked down the hallway and knocked on Roxas' door. "Sora I don't want to talk." Roxas said from the other side of the door. Axel heard the sound of sniffling.

"It's not Sora." Axel said opening the door. He walked over to the bed where the blonde laid, his head buried in a pillow.

"Well I still don't want to talk. Besides I thought you wanted to leave."

"Rox, I don't want to leave I just thought you'd want the paparazzi to leave so you could have some peace and quiet."

"Screw peace and quiet!" Roxas said angrily sitting up. "I don't care about peace and quiet I just don't want to be left alone Axel! And the fact you even offered to leave pisses me off."

"Rox, I understand you feel abandoned but you don't have to worry. You know I'll always come back. Even if I leave you for a few hours I'll always be there for you. I will always see you again, no matter how long we're apart for, I'll always come back."

"And what if you don't Ax?"

"I promise you Rox, I will."

"Promise?"

"I promise Rox. Not even death can make me break that promise."

Roxas smiled and hugged Axel. Axel would do whatever he could to make the blonde happy again. He would protect the blonde no matter what the consequences were. After all, protecting a cute blonde was number two on his list.
