AXEL

CHAPTER 24

Well shit, those twins really know how to break hearts

I watched in shock as he raced out of the room. All I could think was what the hell did you do now Axel? I thought I had gotten somewhere I thought there was something there for both of us I mean kissing him was like nothing else on earth it was so amazing. Then I had to be an ass and say those words to him. He really is too good for me.

When class started I found my eyes wondering around the room to see where Roxas had picked to place his desk. When I saw it in the very front of the room closest to the door my heart sank. Leon's class went by as normal Cloud popped in a few times asking if he could hide under the desk followed by Leon kicking him out of the classroom.

Not once did Roxas look back at me. What had happened to the Roxas I saw earlier? Something had to have run through his head as we made our way to class. I would have to find Sora after class.

When the bell rung I had gotten a good look at Roxas's face. His eyes were puffy from crying. I really did mess up somehow. I couldn't leave the room fast enough. I had to find Sora before he went to Gym with Roxas.

I took the quickest route to the gym and saw Sora just about there. Before he could even register what happened I had pulled him away into the small alcove.

"Sora I need to talk to you, right now." I say hurriedly. I didn't let go of him until he said he would stay and talk to me.

"It is about Ro, right?" He asks me as he folds his arms over his chest. "That idiot really did this shit again." He seemed to whisper to himself.

"So, you know that he rejected me just plain out and left the room without giving me a chance to prove I deserved a chance at him." I say and I could feel my heart clenching and my face stinging. I knew what was going to happen next. I have Sora a look and he nodded as if understanding not to say a word to anyone. Then I let my tears fall. Yes me, big man on campus. The guy who people run in fear of when I give them a look or if they simple know I don't like them, I was crying for a boy I just met.

"Ro…. He doesn't trust people with his heart anymore. He use to give it to everyone so easily, but after what happened with Namine and Hayner, he just changed." I looked at him to explain more.

"Namine was Ro's first girlfriend, okay and his only girlfriend. But he gave her his heart and after about a month she came up to him one day and said, 'I'm sorry Roxas it is over, I think you're gay. So don't call me back anymore, I knew it for a bit now but I just thought I might have been wrong. I am not.' With that she walked out of Ro's like and never came back. Then Hayner was his best friend for ages if Ro was not with me he was with Hayner. So then when Hayner asked him out to see if he really was gay he couldn't say no. things went well with them for a bit. Ro thought he was in love with Hayner. Until, he found Hayner cheating on him with Seifer. That was the last straw he swore off love saying it was only for freaks because as soon as you give your heart someone breaks it."

"I would never break his heart, but he might have broken mine." I say softly wiping my tears on the sleeve of my hoodie.

"Axel, he has gotten worse since our dad left us, because right after he left Cloud was announcing that he was leaving for college in the morning and he was not going to stay home like planned but move in with 'the love of my life' " as he said that part he mimicked Cloud. I couldn't help but smile. "so Cloud left the house and didn't come home ever. He called sometimes but never came to see us. It hurt Roxas more than anyone. So then this year when mom left he swore I was the only one that was yet to leave him, but I think, he thinks that I am sort of leaving him for Riku. And I am not I love my brother if it came down to it I would pick him over Riku. And from the sound of things I guess I will have too. So Axel can you tell Riku….. I can't make it to the movie this weekend." With that Sora ran away before I could grab hold of him again.

Great not only am I dumped before it starts but so was Riku. He is going to want to kill me….or worse kill Roxas.
