Kill the Lights

"Roxas!"

"Namine, are you okay?"

"Oh right, the falling thing…" she straightened herself up.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"That's good. What's the rush."

She stared at him and sighed. He bent down at an angle to look in her eyes. He saw the tears just about ready to spill, and he sighed too.

"Namine, tell me. I'm listening."

"I…I…don't know where to start."

"Start at the beginning."

Her head snapped up. "I-I can't tell you."

"Why not?""You don't need to know about my personal life!"

He rolled his eyes.

"Says who?"

"Says me!"

"Namine…"

"Roxas…"

"Fine. Don't tell me. Just cry to some random stranger."

This made her feel guilty. "I'm going on a date…" she mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear.

"What was that?"

"A date. I'm going on a date. With a boy. And it made me think of you and then I started crying and now I'm here and I didn't want to tell you but you made me!" she was out of breath by the time she finished. He just gaped at her. Then he whispered two words she didn't even think she heard. "With who?" she nearly screamed.

"None of your business! And I'm not telling you where or when either! Wow Roxas do you really think I'd tell you?"

"Nope. Just gave it a shot." she could tell he was sort of heartbroken. "I have to go back inside. Do you…" she almost asked. "Sure" he croaked. Oh god. I'm such a jerk. I should've said that in a nicer way. "No, I'm not telling you. But thanks for being concerned about me." ugh. I'm terrible, aren't I?

"Namine?"

"Yeah?"

"I…never mind. I gotta get going though. So uh, bye."

"Oh…okay. Bye."

Roxas sprinted down the side of the road.

"I'm sorry…" she whispered to apparently no one. She sighed and walked back into the building.

"Hey, are you alright?" a female voice asked. She looked up to see the auburn girl again. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Was that your boyfriend?"

"Him? Oh, no."

"Looked like it."

"Well, he's not. Not anymore anyway." Namine sighed.

"Oh…"

"I have to go…call someone.""Oh well. Okay, you go do that."

Namine took the stairs two at a time. She nearly slammed into her door, shut it on her foot, and ran into a table. She fumbled around in some drawers for her phone. She snatched it up and flipped the top open. She pressed the TALK button twice, and pressed it to her ear. One ring, two rings…

Author's Note:

Heh heh, you were left waiting ^.-

Don't worry, the call and possibly the date will be in the next chapter. Along with some other actiony stuff. Heh, I gave Emma a bigger part. Hey lookie, my dog. *picks up Teddy* It's kind of hard to type with a dog in your arms…
