ROXAS

CHAPTER 23

Don't call me Roxy

I didn't expect for Axel to openly grab me like that. I could tell that he was confused by my actions and that was more of the reason he pulled me away then to get to Leon's class on time even thought that is a good idea.

When we had gotten to the class room it was empty. Axel pulled me over to his desk in the back of the room and I planted myself on the desk.

"Roxas what are we?" He asks me as he lets go of my hand that I didn't even remember holding.

"We are friends, I think." I say looking away from his face. I know he wants to be more, but I just can't handle that. I couldn't be all he wanted me to be.

"Roxas I will make you change those words. I know you don't feel like that I know there is something between us why can't you just admit it Roxy." He places his hand on the side of my face and turning my face back to him.

I turn my face away again this time to hide my tears. "My desk is going to be here today, and Axel don't call me Roxy." With those words I got up and sped out of the room.

I ran to the closest bathroom and locked myself in one of the stalls. I leaned against the stall and let my tears fall. I felt as though my heart was being stomped on. I couldn't let myself get too close to him. I didn't need it to be like before. I don't need another person to promise to be with me and leave me to the side.

I gave up Cloud to Leon years ago, and then I had to give up on dad coming home, then mom left, now I had to give Sora to another too. Everyone makes the promise to stay with me always but then they turn and leave me behind.

I will never give my heart away

I will never give my heart away

I will never give my heart away.

I keep saying this over again in my head but I know it is already too late. My heart no longer belonged to me. Axel stole my heart.
