I give you permission to murder me for not updating sooner. I feel as if this is a filler chapter but I can DEFINATLY promise you that the next chapter will be jizztastic. You see I was going to add some awesomeness for this chapter but it all slotted into place for the next chapter. The next chapter will include: A blushing Roxas,jealousy,rivalry,Xigbar and many other goods :) I don't own KH or FF. And thanks to my editor 3 Eeee I will practice my spelling! Roxas POV.
I woke up to the sound of muffled voices coming from the TV that was on a low volume as I'd turned town the night before. Slowly sitting up I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and let out a satisfying yawn. Nnn what the hell is the time? I spotted my phone that I had lazily left on the floor and sighing deeply, I bent down to pick it up. One new message. Sender: Hayner. Time sent 2:00am. He had sent me a message at two in the morning? What the hell has he been up to I guess Hayner was just being Hayner? It was half five in the morning now. No point in trying to go back to sleep, but I knew I was going to be tired and moody without sleep. Well at least it's Friday today. I pressed the middle button on my phone, opening the text he had just sent me
Meet at the ice-cream parlour in TT 12:30, Olette & Pence r goin 2 b there 2.
I cringed a bit at the text talk but let it pass. I stared at the screen for a moment, blinking as I tried to think of a half decent reply. I was still tired and my mind was all foggy. I gazed down at the glowing screen. Going out with my old friends as a group was definitely going to bring back memories. It's been so long since we last met up. Don't get me wrong we have met up since we have all graduated from college and we do keep in touch, it's just been a while since we've been together as a group. I flopped back down onto the couch and looked up at the plain white ceiling. I wonder how the others were and what they've done with their lives. I shook my head; well whatever they've decided to do I'm sure they are just fine. I leant back up and got off the couch. Picking the TV remote off the glass table, I stretched out my arm and turned the TV off. It made a small bzzing noise before the screen went blank.
Now what am I supposed to do with myself? I guess I could have some cereal and mark the students work to pass the time. I put the remote back down and groggily made my way to the kitchen, grabbing my bag on the way.
Dropping the bag on the kitchen table I let out another yawn. I had to keep reminding myself it was Friday- only one day and I would be free for the weekendy. Only God knows how I managed to stay at that damn school for a week without completely losing my sanity.
I grabbed a cereal box from the cupboard behind me. Out of the selection of cereal I had: Shreddies, Cornflakes, Honey puffs and Frosties. I chose Cornflakes. I placed the box down on the counter. Idly walking over to the dishwasher I opened it and took out a clean bowl and spoon. I bought the bowl and spoon over to the counter and poured the Cornflakes into the bowl.
Sitting down at the kitchen table with my cereal I laid out the work that needed to be marked in front of me. Taking a mouthful of cereal, I flicked through the papers. Crunch , crunch , crunch. This cereal tasted a bit dry, I took another bite. I glanced down at the bowl and resisted the urge to hit myself. Cereal needs milk. This wasn't going to be a good day. It's at times like these when I begin to wonder about my intelligence.
I ambled over to the fridge. Opening it a small cold breeze drifted over my arm causing goosebumps to rise. I pulled the carton of milk out of the side of the fridge before closing the door. Tipping the milk into the bowl I began to wonder that if working with a bunch of idiots would lower my IQ.I put the milk back in the fridge and settled down in my chair. Oh the joys of marking work.
By the time I had finished marking, it was already seven o'clock. Overall the work the students had done wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be; the one with the best grade had been Demyx's. Then again, Zexion most likely did all the work while Demyx just chatted him up.
Getting out of my seat I threw away the remains of the half eaten soggy cereal and headed upstairs to have a hot shower. I went into my room, picked out some clean clothes and went into the bathroom.
I turned the shower on so it was scalding hot. Splashing the hot water onto my face hoping to wake up, I began to think what it would be like if that incident hadn't happened. I'd be a normal high school student with a normal life. When I think about it like that it sounds boring. But it still doesn't make regret what happened back then, if only I could have done something to stop him.
Images of blood-splattered floors ran through my mind; a distant memory, repeating itself clearly in my head as if I were re-living the moment. The sound of sobbing rung through my ears. I covered my ears with my hands trying to drown out the sound of sobs and cries. There was a stabbing feeling in my chest, my body began to tremble. It was the blood that really got me. It was everywhere, on the floor, the walls, on my clothes and on my hands. The whole place smelt of blood. I needed to stay calm, remember what the therapist told me. It was all in my head.
I hugged my knees to my chest taking in deep breaths. Trying to calm down. But how was I supposed to stay calm when the only image in my head was his lifeless body? His last moments ran though my mind - blood and sweat stuck his hair to his pale face, his breaths coming out in pants and becoming slower and slower. I could see the pain and terror in his eyes. But there was nothing I could do now... it was all too late. I couldn't do anything to protect the one I held dearest to me, the one who had looked after me all these years.
I let out a choked scream and splashed more water into my face. I needed to snap out of it. Everything was all in the past now and there was nothing I could to change what happened. I scrubbed my body clean. Even though there was no trace of blood in the first place it felt as if it was still there and it wouldn't come off no matter how hard I scrubbed.
I needed to hurry up or I would be late for work. It took me a few minutes of relaxing before I began to feel better. The pain in my chest began to slowly fade away, the noises of the cries and sobs died down until I was left in silence. The memories blurred, not truly leaving my mind - they were stuck there forever... But I could at least try and bury them at the back of my mind for now.
I did the rest of my usual morning routine of getting ready for work before leaving the house. After having a morning of going from being completely normal to freaking out, I was a bit on the jumpy side. Instead of driving down the road at a quick speed like normal I went slowly. I seem to take in more of what was going on around me.
I arrived at the school just about on time. Not a minute early, not a minute late. I parked up in one of the free spaces at the back. As I got out the car I noticed a figure in the background.
DONE DONE DONE AND NOW I'M STARTING THE NEXT CHAPTER!Will be epic, well I hope! 3 Review are yummy in this monsters tummy :3 If Roxas's memories don't make sense it will over time if you carry on reading :D Peace out !~
