Axel has loved Roxas for years, but when he finally tells him, he doesn't get an answer back. Months later, and Axel still doesn't get an answer, when he tries to talk to Roxas about it. Axel gets shut down, only to have dire consequences. Xion bashing, Organization High school, completely AU. Some swearing, first FF.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. I wish I did but, I don't. However I do own a Keyblade necklace and most of the Kingdom Hearts games, but that is the closest I can get. And I also do not own anything other than the story-line, so any mentions of music or games I don't own either, although I would love to own Saint Row, but Volition aren't up to selling it, the New 52 Series of comics would be awesome to own to, but DC won't return my offers. (Ha like I have anything to bribe them with)

A/N – Heyy guys, sorry about the wait on this chapter but I am in my last year of high school and had my half yearly exams, a massive assignment to get done for one of my classes, tons of maths homework to get done and my best friend who moved away came to visit over Easter so I haven't had much time to write lately. But I hope you enjoy this chapter cause I sure as hell didn't enjoy it, this chapter is really sad, and so is the next one, and I think the next one after that to. And I sorta started crying when I wrote it, and I don't cry… (Very often). And sorry to anyone who likes AxelxRoxas but Roxas won't be in this chapter, but he will be in the next. (Maybe)

Chapter 3 – Christmas Holidays Part 1

When I get angry, there are not many things that I can do to control it without some form of violence, but there are some. I have a choice between violence (and while I rather that option, my parents, siblings and friend don't), I can play a violent video-game, like Saints Row or Grand Theft Auto where I shoot someone or I can play some really loud screamo and meditate (I know, meditate to screamo, WTF? but it helps me so who cares). But this week my two non-violent options are not obtainable and so I am hoping that I don't get so fucking angry to have to resort to my violent option cause my speakers are broken as are my earphones and my brother has claim to the PlayStation 3 this week, so I can't play Saints Row: The Third and blow up some zombies.

School just finished and I was so happy about the end of the year, only have one year left of school now. But Demyx is having trouble at home and so far has been living with me, and I am getting so pissed off at his dad. He is treating Demyx and Demyx Jr. like shit and not appreciating one little fucking thing that Demyx is doing around their house, and being in year 12 and being so dedicated to his music and school has been making it tougher, so I am happy to let Demyx stay with me so he will relax but it has been almost a week that he has been staying between my house and his boyfriend, Leon's house.

However today Demyx is at work so I am going out with my mum into to town and she is thinking about taking me to the comic shop in town. But I just hope that Demyx is ok at work cause he said he would be shopping after to buy his dad a Christmas present, so I am hoping that he doesn't run into his dad while down at the shops.

"Lea, do you still want to go to that comic shop or did you just want to go home?" my mum brings me out of my thoughts. I hate it when she calls me Lea.

"Mum, I told you to call me Axel. I know it isn't the name you gave me but it is my name now. I don't care about going to the comic shop, it's up to you. I don't care"

"Honey, if you want to go to the comic shop, it is only down the road so I don't care."

"Ok I think it would be awesome." So what it's a comic shop, and I love comics. Don't call me a nerd though. I have researched the meaning of the world nerd and I am not one. I am a geek.

We get into the car and drive down the road to look for the comic shop, now I have never been in this shop and sitting in the car waiting to find not only the shop but also a park was annoying me. All I wanted was to be in that shop and look at the large amount of the comics and books that they had to offer. I almost jump out of the car when mum stops, and all she can do is laugh. I walk into the shop and just stare at the place. It is fucking awesome, the wall when we walk in is all the DC New 52 series and I know that I am staring, but couldn't give a fuck. The sound of laughing pulls me out of my ravine and I turn to find my mum looking at me, laughing.

I am so not in the mood for an argument, so I decide to just ignore her. Before I know it I have been just looking in this shop for the last half hour and mum is trying to get my attention.

"Lea, how about you give me a list of the comics that you want and I can get you some for Christmas?

"Mum, I already have a list of the ones I want, and it is a bloody long list."

"How about some money at Christmas for you, and we can come down and get you some comics."

"That is so awesome."

Searching the songs on mums phone to find something to listen is always difficult, not because of the selection, but because of the large amount of songs. I finally settle on 'The Change' by Evanescence when my phone starts ringing, when I look down I see it is Demyx's number.

"Hey Demyx, how was work?"

"It was ok until dad showed up and started abusing me in the middle of the store just after I finished my shift"

"Oh sweetie, where are you?"

"I am outside the music shop, getting dad his Christmas present. Once I am done I am getting the bus home."

"No you are not. Mum and I are coming back from town, so we will stop by the shops on our way back and pick you up. Don't worry, we will be there soon."

"Ok, you don't have to you know that, right?"

"Whether I have to or not, you are my bestest friend in the whole wide world and I will always do anything to help you. Ok?"

"Ok and I know that is just your way of saying I love you. Love you to Axe. I will wait outside the music shop and wait for you when I am done. Thanks love ya Axe."

"I will see ya soon, love ya to Demy." With that I hung up, looking worried. "Mum can we pick up Dem from the shops."

"You know you should have asked me during that conversation, like before you agreed to pick her up, but I would have said the same thing. Yes of course we can sweetie."

After that the trip was mostly silent on the way to the shops, when we got there I found Demyx looking really down. I walked up to him and sat next to him, and just gave him a hug. After explaining to me what his dad had done he got a phone call, while mum and I waited, I could hear what he was saying. He was talking, actually more like arguing, with his father.

Once we left the shops, Demyx was still on the phone, when he finally finished the conversation the car was really quiet.

"Can we stop by your mums before we go back to your dads? I want to get the clothes I put into the wash the other day"

"Yeah, we can. Less time I have to spend at my dad's house the better." I replied, humour sorta evident in my voice, but mum just looked at me.

After a discussion about music between the three of us, the car fell silent again.

"Hey, do you to want to come to a struggle match this afternoon, I have extra passes so if you want to come you can." Mum asked, obviously looking for someone to take advantage of the passes.

"I would love to go. I haven't been to a struggle match in a long time." I answered truthfully, I love struggle matches and I never get to go, so I will take the opportunity if it comes my way. "What about you Dem?"

"Yeah a good struggle match might be the thing the cheer me up."

"Awesome"

"Ok once we get you stuff and I drop you of at your dads, I will come home and get ready. Then I will be back around four thirty to pick you both up."

Once we got Demyx's stuff and went back to my dad's, Demyx went and had a quick sleep before we had to leave. I was finally taking my anger out on unsuspecting zombies on Saints Row: The Third when I heard Demyx heading down the hallway. I could hear he was on the phone again. I was just hoping it wasn't his dad.

When he finally got off the phone, he was crying.

"Dem, what's wrong? Who was on the phone?"

"Um… I was my mums friend that lives near her in Wonderland. She was starting to get worried about me."

"Oh, what else did she want? That sounded like a really long conversation for concern."

Avoiding the question he quickly changed the subject "You know how I told you I have that whacky connection with my mum, like when I was upset she knew."

"Yeah?"

"Well she felt that I was upset and her friend Yuna called me to make sure I was alright."

"Stop avoiding the question Dem. What else did she want?"

"She asked me to get away from my dad, and I am seriously considering his offer."

"What offer?" Ok now I am starting to get really worried, I don't like the sound of this.

"To move away from dad, far away… she wants me to move to Wonderland."

In that second I think I felt my non-existent heart break and my stomach drop.

TBC…

A/N – Ok I am so sorry about this, but I am in a cruel mood so, hey blame this cliff hanger on my cruel mood, not me. I am trying to keep up with my writing and I am going to write up a plan so that I can organise my time between homework, jobs, study and writing. But my muse is still hanging around so there might not be much of a wait for the next chapter.
