Swapping Nightmares for Phone Calls
'Roxas' the boy with golden eyes calls out to the blonde who now is running, but even if he did run, he wouldn't go anywhere.
Roxas' legs grew tired and then finally gave out on him, he collapsed to the ground, and the boy with golden eyes hovered over him, he grabbed his knife and started to carve something in Roxas' chest, He screamed in agony.
Roxas started screaming, thrashing around in the bed, He screamed louder in pain, feeling every little thing the boy did with his knife, like if it really happened. But then Roxas remembered...It did happen.
Axel snored quietly when suddenly he awoke to Roxas' thrashing and screaming. "Roxas! Aah!" he shouted as he tried to stand upright, but still being groggy fell off the bed and smacked his head on the floor. Axel shook his head once then shot upright, summoning his weapons and looking around the room before dropping them and running back over to Roxas. "Hey, shh shh, it's okay." Axel grabbed the boy's shoulders and held him still, before covering the blonde's mouth with his hand. "Roxas, it's just me. Stop. Shh." He cursed quietly to himself. 'I shouldn't have left him alone...' Axel picked up Roxas and leaned against the back of the bed, cradling the blonde in his arms. "I'm here. It's okay, I'm here. Nothing will get you." He repeated quietly.
Roxas opened his eyes and looked at Axel, "...I-" Roxas' voice was cut off by his mobile phone ringing, it was probably Sora, He was probably worrying why he wasn't home, or to ask why he wasn't at school.
The brunette fidgeted with his phone, he was worried. "Roxas isn't at school today...he might be skipping school again..." Sora sighed. "Oh well, I guess I'll see him at home". He scooted his chair over to Riku, Who was jotting down the last sentences on the board, Yet the bell had gone for lunch, But Riku would've been finished if Sora didn't annoy him all the time. "Hey Riku, can you drop me off at my house again?"
Riku turned to Sora and rolled his eyes. "What.. now? But school is still going.. ugh fine. See, this is why you need a license." He dug in his pockets and pulled out a set of car keys, which had a paopu fruit charm on them. Riku looked up and walked out the door, not checking if Sora was following.
"Hurry up then." Riku noted and quickly jumped into the driver's seat, putting on the seatbelt and driving towards Sora's house.
Riku stepped out of the car and followed Sora to his house. "So.. why did you need me to drop you off now?"
Sora laughed as he opened the door "So we can drag Roxas to scho-" Sora's eyes widened, the house was trashed. The sofa was cut up, the was broken glass on the floor. The first thing that poped into his ind was his brother. Sora ran inside "Roxas!" he called out to the blonde. He ran up staris to see if he ws in his room. he ran down stairs and stopped. He turned to the pictures of Roxas and the others. They were all ripped to shreds. Sora was worried now. 'What if someone took him away...' he thought for a long time. He took his phone from his pocket. He dialed the Roxas' mobile number, hoping he would pick up. Then the phone was answered.
Roxas buried his face into Axel's chest. "I don't wanna answer it...It might be Sora..." He mumbed. He didn't want to talk to Sora, how could he, He knew if he told his brother what happened, Sora would blame himself.
Axel looked to Roxas' phone then back to him. "You can't just not asnwer it and let him keep ringing. He's probably worried. I'll answer it." Axel reached forward to pick up the phone, then leaned back again. "Okay, shh now. I'll tell him your sleeping or something. Which you should be doing. So stay quiet... ouch!" Axel lightly smacked at the blonde's spikes in his face and laughed to himself. "...yea okay just sit there then." he shrugged and looked down to Roxas' form; clinging onto Axel and shuddering.
Axel answered the phone after ringing for some time. "Hey, this is Roxas' phone. Who the fuck is it?" he looked down to Roxas and smiled lightly. Axel always answered the phone with that same line. He hugged the blonde and tried to keep him still.
Roxas started to close his eyes, 'No! i can't fall asleep, I won't, he'll get me...' Roxas stared off into space.
".I-its Sora..." Axel picked up, Roxas probably stay over his house, or left the phone at his place and Roxas went home and someone took hi- Sora had to think positve. "Is Roxas there with you?" He hoped he was. It tured out he was, but Axel said he was sleeping. "Is he okay?" Sora still worried about him. "...Hey Axel...Why'd you two skip school today?"
Roxas heard the question that Sora asked Axel. '...Would he tell Sora the truth..?' Roxas slid off the bed and dragged himself to the bathroom, not wanting to hear the answer Axel would provide Sora with. Roxas had locked the door and stood in front of the mirror, He looked at his arms and then took of his shirt, he looked at his chest. He has hidden what has been carved in his chest from Axel so far. His fingers glided over the cuts. He winced at the pain.
Axel coughed and answered Sora's questions. "Here's here. Yer he's fine, just sleepy." He laughed at the last question. "Wouldn't you like to know.." Axel cracked up laughing as Sora went silent. "oh, geez i'm joking!" he turned and watched Roxas' with worried eyes as he went to the bathroom and locked the door. "Yea, I think Roxas' ate some bad food last night. I think it was Riku's sushi.. don't worry i'm taking care of him. Um.. Sora I think I might have to call you back." Axel quickly hung up the phone and ran towards the bathroom.
