"YOU'RE WHAT?!"

Roxas winced as the female yelled into the phone. He was standing outside Namine's room at the hospital. He was calling a certain someone to invite her to the wedding. He sighed and repeated what he had said.

"I'm getting married to Namine, Olette."

"How can you say that so calm?! You are a young man, Roxas. Twenty-one! Do you even know what love is? Hell, I'm not even going to say I know what love is myself. But I hopefully will find it with Hayner, who I have known all my life. NOT JUST A YEAR!" Olette shouted into the phone.

"Sora and Kairi are getting married..." Roxas mumbled, "Geez, you're acting like my mom."

"Sora and Kairi are older and much more mature than you Roxas. Wait, did you even tell your parents yet?!"

Roxas scratched his head, "Well, when I told my mom. She just kept telling me to forget Namine, don't fall for her, and spend a few months in Las Vegas. My dad just said 'cool' and hung up."

"Do you love her Roxas? Are you just marrying her out of pity?"

Roxas shook his head, "Of course not! I don't plan on doing something like that to her. It's already bad enough I used her to to try to get you. Look, I just want to make her as happy as possible before she...passes and all."

"...Roxas, you really like her don't you?"

Roxas became silent. He didn't want to lie, but he'd never admit it out loud. Olette understood the silence very well. She let out a sigh.

"...She's just a friend," he mumbled.

"I got it. I'll go this this wedding."

"Thank you."

After Roxas hung up on Olette, he walked back into Namine's room. She opened her eyes slowly, waking from her slumber. As soon as she noticed Roxas's presence, she started fixing her hair, afraid of Roxas seeing her bedhead. Roxas chuckled at how nervous she looked. After Namine was done, she turned to the still chuckling Roxas. She smiled.

Kairi and Namine were in Namine's room at the hospital. Namine and her were sitting on the bed. Kairi began fixing up Namine's hair for the wedding. They had already picked out what she was going to wear. Roxas had wanted to see, but Namine insisted he see at the wedding. The wedding was today. It had seemed pretty quick, but the doctor had informed them that Namine would be dead by the end of tomorrow.

"You have such nice hair, Namine," Kairi said in awe and she brushed it.

Knowing Kairi knew some basic sign language, Namine replied with her gestures and signs.

Thank you. You have nice hair as well.

"Me? Wonderful hair? As if. Yours is so much more nice," Kairi complimented, "I can't believe you're beating me down the aisle. I've known Sora since forever and you've only known Roxas for less than a year. Well, it makes sense considering the situation. Honestly, I'm amazed at how well you two work together and love each other to do this."

Namine blinked twice and replied.

Roxas loves me?

"Wait, did you say Roxas? I'm forgetting how 'x' looks like."

Namine repeated the sign for 'x' and nodded. Kairi could now reply.

"Of course he does Namine! He'll just never admit it. You do love Roxas, right?"

Namine gave a small nod. Kairi smiled warmly.

"Then tell him. Once you tell him, he's bound to tell the truth that he loves you!" Kairi said excitedly.

Namine shook her head. She frowned and began speaking sign language once more.

Roxas confuses me sometimes. What if he doesn't love me? If I tell him of the feeling I've been having, he might reject me and hurt me. I'd rather enjoy my crush.

"He loves you! Don't doubt it! 'The truth is, every time you take a big risk in your life, no matter how it ends up, you're always glad you took it,'" Kairi quoted.

Namine sighed.

You watched that marathon last night too? You, Sora, and Riku are obsessed with that show.

"It teaches nice life lessons sometimes!" Kairi said defensively.

Kairi then finished Namine's hair. She then carefully placed yellow mini-roses to hide the pins that held her hair. Namine looked into the mirror and smiled. She hugged Kairi as a thank you. Kairi hugged her back tightly, afraid to let go. It was hard to believe Namine would be gone by the end of tomorrow.

Roxas had felt nervous. It was time for the wedding. He was standing in the hospital chapel with the priest who happened to be a patient at the hospital. However he was admitted in for severe head damage and memory problems. The priest tapped Roxas on the shoulder.

"What's the bride's name again?" he whispered.

Roxas rolled his eyes and hissed, "Namine!"

Roxas looked across the room. He had wished to bring more people, but the truth was, he didn't know who to invite. Olette, Hayner, Roxas's father, Roxas's mother (who came reluctantly), and Kairi were sitting inside the chapel. Roxas had then began to realize Sora hadn't arrived yet.

As if on cue, Sora then rushed into the room with a iPod and some speakers. The brunette was panting. Roxas could tell this wasn't good.

"Okay, the guy who was supposed to play on the piano is not coming," Sora said.

"What makes you say that?"

"He died in surgery."

Roxas cursed under his breath. Sora held his hand up, trying to explain his solution.

"I'll hook my iPod up to these speakers and I'll just play some song appropriate for a wedding! Relax!" Sora said.

He then rushed to set it up. Roxas felt displeased. It was one crappy wedding. Suddenly, loud music came on. It began with a screamo part. Roxas shot a glare at Sora. Sora sweatdropped and immediately began looking at his list of songs, trying to find an appropriate one.

Suddenly, it was as if the world stopped. The doors opened and Roxas saw Namine. Her light blond hair was half up and was a bit more curly. A panel of hair from the left and right quadrants were gently twisted and pinned in the center of her head. She wore a white, strapless, satin A-line dress. There was a veil over her head. It wasn't white. It wasn't a fashion statement. It was yellow like it used to be in ancient Greece. It symbolized innocence. It symbolized virginity. Roxas could only stare at her.

She was in a wheelchair, being brought in by her father. Namine's father, still wearing his hospital gown, had seemed uneasy coming in. Roxas knew of the the relationship between Namine and her father. Her father whispered to his daughter softly. She smiled and nodded. He walked her down the aisle.

Sora had then found a song. The music was now at a calm song. A sweet song. It had seemed to fit the mood. Although it wasn't the original song, the singer covering the song had a very soothing voice. As the song went on, memories of the happy moments he had with Namine played in his head, like some sort of cheesy movie.

Namine was now next to Roxas. She smiled at him. Roxas's face did not turn red. He no longer felt nervous or whatever that feeling he got when she smiled like that. Instead, he felt comfortable. Roxas took her hand into his. She seemed somewhat surprised by this action.

"You look beautiful," he whispered.

Namine smiled. She then mouthed 'thank you' to him.

"I'm so sorry you aren't marrying someone you love today, though," Roxas voice became even more quieter as he said this.

Namine had heard him loud and clear. At that instant, she wanted to tell him her feelings. However, she could not speak. Instead, the priest spoke and continued on with the wedding.

Late at night, Namine was now on her bed in the hospital. She stared at the ring on her finger. She was married. Just thinking about the whole wedding itself made her feel all warm inside. She couldn't stray her mind from the kiss. She held her hands together, pulling them close to her heart.

"Knock knock," Roxas said, entering the room with a smile, "How are you doing?"

Namine smiled back at him and gave him a thumbs up. Roxas chuckled.

"So...we're married," Roxas began.

Namine nodded. Roxas scratched his head, trying to find the right words to say.

"What do married people do now?"

Namine blinked twice. Roxas became a bit flustered and tried to explain himself. Namine appeared to giggle. Roxas shoulders relaxed. He smiled at her smile. Namine took out her whiteboard and began writing. He looked at what she wrote.

We just have to stay together. Please do not worry.

"Good. I can do that," Roxas said.

There was a bit of a silence. Roxas knelt down and folded his arms, resting them on the bed. His head then rested on his folded arms. He was in deep thought. He was thinking about Namine and her limited time. It pained him to think of it. Roxas then broke the silence.

"What did your dad say to you?"

Namine blinked once and began writing. She held up her board afterward.

He said "I'm sorry I couldn't love you. I hope you find happiness with him."

"Wow," Roxas said, at a loss of words.

Namine nodded and wrote more.

I really wish I could have given him my kidney though. I thought that maybe he'd love me just a bit if i gave that to him.

"You know what? You don't need his love. You already have my -- I mean --- all your friends' love," Roxas said, trying to catch to himself.

Namine smiled and shrugged. Roxas stared at the girl. He couldn't help but think of how much he was going to miss that smile. He didn't want it to go away.

"What would you say if I was able to find a way to make you live longer?" he asked suddenly.

Namine's eyes widened. She seemed surprised by his question. She quickly erased her previous words and wrote down her response.

Please do not give me false hope. This isn't something you can just get rid of like that.

"I'll find a way, Namine. I'll try my best. I want to be with you for a long time," Roxas began to yawn as he said this, "Sorry. It's getting late. I'm tired."

Aren't visiting hours over? Namine replied on her white board, raising an eyebrow.

"Shh. They don't have to know I'm here," Roxas said quietly.

Namine looked down at her board. She wondered if it would really be possible to save her. It seemed very unlikely. She would most likely die. She had been preparing for this since she was young. Namine bit her lip. She wondered why she was even thinking these thoughts. Impossible. There was no way. Even if there was some sort of magic cure, it would be too late.

Her mind wandered into the past. Glancing at the window, she hoped to see snow. It was winter after all. So much time had passed. Sweet memories of her mother came to her. Memories of Roxas soon followed. Inside, she felt that warm feeling again. She wanted to tell him something. Her gaze returned to her whiteboard. She wrote down what she wanted to say on the board. Slowly she lifted the board for him to see and shut her eyes, bracing herself for his response.

I love you, Roxas.

That was what the board had read. Namine opened her eyes, surprised by the unusual silence. She then looked at Roxas. He had fallen asleep. She frowned at the fact he had not seen what she had wrote. Namine sighed. She erased the board and put it away. She looked at Roxas long and hard. She then knew what to do. Namine reached for a pen and paper. Once she retrieved it, she began writing her letter.

Once she completed her letter, she quietly tucked it into Roxas's jacket pocket.

A/N: I've been thinking (and asking my friends) and decided that the actual story will end at 15. It would leave more of an impact.

Zomg, I'm sick. Bleh. Didn't go to school yesterday so I ended up typing up most of the the last chapter today. Expect it soon.

Random note: I just finished Kanon 2006. I cried. Can't decide which was better though. Clannad or Kanon?

Kiome-Yasha: Now it'll be chapter 15 :P

Rosorace Ecclesia: Just throwing out the possibility I could unexpectedly cure her. Since I'm the author, I can pretty much do anything to these characters *draws a mustache on Roxas* :3 But you should know I won't do something too out of the blue.

ayumi: Glad you liked it :D

Ca-Ca-Calico: It's probably reminding you of that because I actually finished the book a few months ago.

Jamimlia: Glad you liked Insanity :D Now they are married~~

xxlottexx: Yay for marriage :3

DemyxPlaysMySitar: Well, I've already made up my mind about cure or no cure so you'll just have to wait and see in the next chapter :3

Sato Tadashi: Sowies, I already decided. So tune in for the next chapter to see what happens. Aw, too bad you didn't a thanksgiving :( There's always next year :)

Chipmunk4ever: xD That sounds so much more interesting than a project I have to do right now .___.

Antiyaoifan: He's not doing it out of pity :P

kawaiigurl93: This happens o.O

Thanks for all the reviews! Stay tuned folks!
