A/N: Okay, so I have a general layout of where I'm headed with the story, but I recently started working with different P.O.V ideas. I was wandering around my house and cleaning as I ran chapter ideas and general directions of where I was planning on going with this, and my muse was asking me questions. Of course,I know why he got into the accident, but I guess my readers don't.
So then it hit me…I can write a P.O.V from different characters!
Aleia: Well that's genius, self!
Me: Why thank you! Oh, by the way, Aleia here is one of my few muses that doesn't actually wander the house like my friends.
Aleia: I live in her head…and right now it's quite cluttered! *trips over a random file*
Me: Yeah, sorry 'bout that. I have A LOT of new ideas floating around and like 4 main stories I'm working on. 'A Dream in my Heart' is major, 'Ice Cream and Insomnia' is a must finish, and I have tons of concepts for 'The Neon Butterfly'. Plus I recently started working on 'Between the Lines' not to mention the AkuRoku fic I'm collaborating with my other's muses on…I literally have 8 documents open on my laptop and keep adding bits to them at different times.
Aleia: Like I said, clutter. It's a good thing I have an extra-large filing cabinet to organize things in. *starts picking up papers and files to place in large drawers*
Me: And I thank you greatly.
Aleia: Yeah, yeah. Now just get on with the story before people think you're completely insane.
Me:*whispers under breath (not like that's a bad thing, right?)* Alrighty. So here is more to my first shot at writing an angsty storyline. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: The Call
He sat in front of his laptop and felt as he fingers pushed the keys in a pattern of memory, but his mind was defiantly not focused on the words scrolling across the screen. It was wrapped around the events that had occurred in this very room only a few short hours ago.
As he hit 'Save' and watched the blue light on the top of the screen blink a few times, Roxas sighed loudly. He knew that his mind was not going to let him finish this report, but he had been trying to find something to occupy his time and distract him from thinking of the events that had happened. They had never had a fight like that before.
Sure, they argued from time to time, but what couple didn't? No, this was different. In all the years that he'd known Axel, he had never seen him lose his temper like that.
Never.
It was well known to any of his friends that Axel could lose his cool, his best friend Demyx was very aware of that. But it was always Roxas that was able to calm him down when the situation got a little too heated.
He could place a hand on his shoulder, talk to him in a steady voice as he stared deep into his emerald green eyes and make him relax. Roxas would place a hand soft on his cheek and smile; that was the key. Axel had told him on many accounts that he had the smile of an angel that could make even the darkest of hearts melt. Roxas thought it was sweet but cheesy, so he would start to laugh and to his relief hear Axel's echo in his as they sat and talked about happier topics.
But that wasn't the case tonight. Axel had snapped. He actually lost control of his actions for a split second and Roxas had seen a side of Axel that only his older brother Reno had ever talked about. He'd hoped that he could talk some sense into Axel before he did anything too irrational, but it was too late. He'd grabbed the keys for his bike and stormed out the door, slamming it behind him.
Roxas let his eyes roam over the screen for the fifth time only to realize that he wasn't actually reading any of it. He sighed again as he flipped the top down and placed the device on the coffee table in front of him. His eyes glanced to the wallet and cell phone setting next to the laptop on the other end of the table. They belonged to Axel. In his haste to leave, he didn't grab anything besides his keys. His stomach growled with a pain and he figured it was a mix of nerves and lack of food. The bowl of cereal he had eaten that morning had worn off. With a sigh, he pushed himself to his feet and made his way towards the kitchen.
"He'll be okay" Roxas spoke to himself as he pulled the door to the refrigerator open and reached for a bottle of juice from the top shelf. "He probably just went to talk to Demyx"
Roxas nodded, trying to convince himself that everything was fine as he closed the fridge and opened his orange juice. He tipped the container up and drank deep as he began to make his way back to the living room. The familiar sound of Axel's phone ringing from the table made him grin as he pulled the juice from his lips and bent to pick up the cell. The name read 'Demyx', as he already knew it would, on account to the specific ringtone Axel had set for him.
Figuring it was Axel, calling to say he had left his phone, Roxas answered with a smug tone "Cool yourself down a bit then?"
"Roxas?"
His eyebrows furrowed. Not the voice he was expecting. "Well duh. Who else would it be if Axel is…"
"Where is Axel?"
Roxas was cut off and frowned. "He's with you isn't he?"
"No. Zexion just told me about a really bad motorcycle accident he saw on his way home. He said he couldn't see the face, but the man being hauled into the ambulance had red hair." Demyx spoke really fast and breathy "Rox, tell me he's there with you"
He heard the 'clank' of the bottle hitting the table before spilling out onto the floor and over his toes, but then his mind just because to buzz. His heartbeat increased as he tried to take in breaths, finding each harder to draw in than the last.
"Roxas? Hey Rox, you still there?" Demyx asked into the phone. "Roxas, talk to me"
Roxas heard the words barely come from his mouth, but he felt as if it couldn't be him. "He's not here Demyx" He drew in a shuddering breath and placed a hand to his lips "He took the bike for a ride"
A/A/N: I know this one is a bit short, but I promise that there is more exciting things to come. So, obviously this is an AkuRoku fic and the person from the last chapter was Axel's point of view. My roommate thought it was Cloud because of the motorbike (I have a Cleon in works for that btw) but nope, that was an Axel Accident.
On a personal note, little shout-out to Yanara126 whom was the first to give this story a review. Thanks and you rock! Hope to have more posted for you and the other readers really soon. Have a Blessed Day!
