Okay so this is a LONG chapter, well for me at least and I'm currently uploading this at the hospital because my mom has treatment today and I said I would go with her to keep her company. I'm probably going to be here for a couple of more hours so if I feel up to it I might start chapter 5! As always please Read and Review this! and Roxas?

Roxas: The author does not own Kingdom Hearts but does own the plot line/story. Later man I'm going to a party.

Me: Did I say you were aloud to go?

Roxas: I didn't intend on asking you in the first place boss man. Peace up!

Oh and my buddy Silver on dA said she would do a painting for me of my story! W00t! And in exchange I told her I would put her as an OC in here...I'm easily bribed people. 'hint hint'

ENJOY! ^_^

Chapter 4: Dude you teamkilled me!

The clock on my phone read 2:14...AM. I couldn't sleep to save my life tonight, gotta love insomnia huh? I decided to send Kairi a text that is if she was even awake. Eventhough it wasn't a school night, most people don't stay up this late but it was worth a shot.

'Hey Kairi, its Roxas'

A couple of minutes passed and no response...my cell said that the text was delieved and she did receive it, but she must be asleep.

Bummer, I guess I could text someone else...maybe even Namine. Wait no! Don't text her just because your bored man. Pull it together!

I slapped myself across the face a good two time until I snapped out of my desperate daze.

My phone started to vibrate on the bedside table, Please be Kairi and not Hayner drunk texting me again.

'Hey Roxas...its Nami...r u there?'

Speak of the devil.

Should I text her back? I mean it's been awhile since she dumped me but I guess I could pretend to be nice for a little while.

'Hey Namine. Ya Im here'

'So uhm..howve you been?'

'Im fine.' I was kind of annoyed that shes texting me out of the blue. 'what do u want?'

'I was just asking a questing Roxy, chill out'

'Dont call me that, were not friends or together anymore. Only my friends can call me tht.'

':'( be nice Roxas, Im trying to say sorry here. U dnt need to be a jerk about it.'

'uhm I think I can Namine, you cheated on me with that punkass Vanitas. U even told me you loved me...guess all that was just a lie. I have better things to do than talk to you. Dueces.'

'...okay by Roxas...'

What did she expect? For me to be all buddy buddy with her and act like nothing happened?

As I was about to put my phone back down on the bedstand, it started to vibrate in my hand.

Don't get your hopes up man, it's probably just Namine again. But it wouldn't hurt to look.

'Hey Roxas! It's Kairi!'

A big grin formed on my face, if anyone could put me in a better mood...it would be Kairi. Eventhough we just met...I feel like there's supposed to be something between us, I can feel it.

'Hey Kairi! Wats up?'

'o nothin much, just bored and watching a movie on my laptop. U?'

'just chillin in bed listening to music. What movie r u watching?'

'the ring! Its SOOO scary!' That's my favorite movie, even the eastcoast remake.

'yeah its a good movie, actually its my favorite'

'really? Thats cool. So what r u listening 2?'Right now I was listening to the song Nothing by The Script, its a rather sad song and it has a lot of my memories in it but I didn't want to say that in-case she's heard of it because it might make things awkward between us.

'uh Im listening to Five Finger Death Punch's Bulletproof.'

':0 they sound like a scary band! Im assuming thats a metal band?'

'yup'

'o ok gotcha...sooo?'

We ran out of things to talk about already...awesome. This should be fun.

'sooooo'

'well Im starting to get reely scared now so im ganna turn the movie off and go to be. Ill text you tomorrow k?'

'aight. Sounds like a plan. Nite Kairi :)'

'goodnight Roxas :D'

That was a quick conversation, crap, its already 3! I need to get some sleep. Goodnight Kairi.

"WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUM!" the voice belonging to Xion screamed in my ear.

"AHH! What! What are you doing in my room? Ugh and what time is it?"

She had a smile on her face...a devious smile.

"Oh it's only nine, and I'm here to wake you up so you don't sleep all day like you did last weekend. Axel called the house phone and said he wanted to come over today to hang out with you. Not sure why he'd want to hang out with a moron like you though.."

I was still a little groggy from only getting a couple hours of sleep so I yawned a big yawn right in her face to tick her off.

"Ew Roxas! Brush your teeth man! So nasty-" She walked away mumbling something under her breath, probably insults to me or of the sort.

I got out of my mess for a bed and put on my boxers and made my way towards the bathroom to take a shower and get cleaned up a bit. The heat of the hot water on my skin made me wake up more, and it felt good...very relaxing. I did my routine in the shower and turned the handles counterclockwise wise to turn the running water off.

As I wrapped the long beach towel around my waist, I stopped to look in the mirror. You've changed Roxas...your not that little kid on the street anymore. Look at you. I pulled my eyelids down to make myself look like a zombie.

It was a habit I did anytime I looked in the mirror. One time after Namine and I had gotten back from our date, I checked myself in the mirror in her room.

"How come you always do that Roxas? Anytime you look at yourself in the mirror you always do that weird thing with your eyes..."

"Its to make sure that I'm really here, like all of me is here."

"That made no sense Roxy, but I won't bother you about it."

It was a bad habit of mine, the reason behind it is that it reminds me who am I on the outside but to make sure that all of 'Roxas' is here in the flesh. It's hard to explain because even I can't explain it sometimes.

I stopped staring at my reflection and brushed my teeth followed by shaving. Oh how I hated shaving. Seemed like I had to do it everyday...gotta love dad and his genetics.

Once I was finished cleaning myself up, I made my way back into my room to find something to wear. It was supposed to be only 40 F out so I decided on my black hoodie, a pair of dark skinny jeans and my combat boots.

The smell of syrup and bacon wafted throughout the hallway and rooms. My stomach responded to the smells by rumbling, its scary how the body works sometimes. As I walked downstairs, I could see multiple figures standing about in the kitchen getting food. Dad was in a robe and slippers with his morning coffee and paper at the table. He really was the stereotypical morning father figure. Mom was in a nightgown and was making herself a plate of food and then one for dad as well. Xion was the only one besides me who was fully dressed. She wore a longsleeve shirt with a black n white checkered skirt and leggings. Mom must've taken her to HotTopic again for clothes shopping. She was multitasking in the sense that in one hand was her plate with some food on it and in the other hand was her phone in mid text of probably Riku.

To get back at her for screaming in my ear to wake me up this morning, I accidentally "bumped" into her while she was getting a spoonful of eggs. As planned, I stuck an elbow in to her back which made her spill the plate along with the spoon and phone. To my suprise however, it got better. The phone had landed in the pile of eggs on her plate, which had a trickle of syrup running towards the phone. "No! My phone!" she grabbed it just before the syrup reached it. "Wheww, that was a close one. I know you did that on purpose Roxas! Jerk!" Mom and dad were completely ignoring our little fight in the kitchen, their used to ignoring it by now. "Oh my bad Xion, maybe you shouldn't stop walking in the middle of the kitchen next time." I smirked. "What are you talking about? The kitchen isn't a place to run a marathon in, its a small room for a reason you idiot!""Guess I've got to be more careful huh Xion?" I said sarcasticly. She gave me the stink eye in return. "So is Riku comin' over again today?" She bent over to pick up the mess I made for her and replied "Yeah he texted saying he would come over after he got done with something he had to take care of, whatever that means. Did you call Axel back yet?" Crap! I knew I was forgetting something.

"No I haven't yet, I'll call him after I'm done eating. I heard he's dating some girl now...I forget what he told me her name was...Larxene I think? I don't know." Xion just shook her head, "Yeah I've heard of that name but I don't know her know her."

The people around the breakfast table were awfully quite this morning. Dad was still probably mad at me for making him lose his client and mom was having the same feelings. It wasn't my fault...

After I was done eating, I rinsed off my plate and put it in the sink. The room was absolutely dead silent, irony of dead i.e. me in a couple of hours when dad comes up with my punishment.

I had to break the silence more ore less because it was starting to get to me. "Hey uh mom?...is it cool if Axel comes over to hangout later?" Why even bother man, you know she's pissed at you because dads mad whom takes it out on mom.

"Sure."

"Oh..okay I understand...wait what? You said yes?" "I didn't hear anyone else say anything." She said it with a genuine smile, she's taking my side! I ran over to where she was sitting and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks mom, for believing me about Aqua." "It's okay Roxas. I'm your mother and I'm going to stick up for you and trust in what you say. Don't prove me wrong okay sweety?"

"No problem mom! Thanks again!" I said as I made my way downstairs, again the irony of that's the first place I head to after asking her for someone to come over after what happened last night.

I layed down on the couch and pulled out my cell to scroll through the list of contacts. I stopped over her name for some reason, tempted to delete it after everything she did to hurt me but decided not to. Then I put my feelings aside and ran my finger over Axel.

I hit 'Call' and put the phone up to my ear. "Ring...ring...ring...ring...Ello?" "Hey Axel its me, what up?" "Me who?" "Oh your so funny, not. You know who it is moron." "Yo whatchu up to today Roxas?" "Eh nothing that I know of, you wanna come over and chill?" "Yeah sure, I called earlier asking the same thing but Xion picked up instead. Brat." "Yeah she is man but old news haha. Anyway yeah what time you comin over then?" "Well I'm eatin right now so lets say around like eleven-ish? That cool with you man?" "Works with me man, aight well then I guess I'll see you when you get here." "Yup yup. Peace up man." "Deuces."

That was are little goodbye message system. He'd always say his tag line peace up (because he's too cool to say peace out) and I always respond with deuces. Axel has been one of my best buds since around first grade when we met in elementary school. Since then, Axel has always been a huge nerd. He carries around his lucky twenty sided attack die. But what sets him apart from other nerds is that he is lucky. Axel is considered the coolest nerd that ever lived, in the sense that he could talk about D&D for hours but then be a total lady-killer in the next breath. He also was the star quarterback on the school's football team. Although he hates everyone on the team because "Their a bunch of hollow-headed douche bags." Like I said, a cool nerd. He could beat you in a game of Doctor Who trivia and then score a date that night. One of my best friends because we had so much in common and we got along quite well. He was a built like me, just taller. He had muscles but not so big that he couldn't move his arms comfortably. Axel had one of the weirdest hairstyles I've still only seen to this day. He had flaming red hair, but it wasn't the color that was odd. His hair was very very spikey as well like how the guys look in one of those anime shows. He was also taller than me so always had to put a short joke into our conversations. That was Axel.

It was only five after ten so I had some time to kill before he arrives. I debated between calling Kairi to talk or something else. I don't want to seem clingy and I texted her just last night so I think I should hold off on calling her just yet. So instead I decided to fire up my PS3 and play a quick match online. If I wasn't working out or playing bass or hanging out with friends, then I was on my but in this couch playing Call of Duty...killing n00bs as they say. I like to think that I'm a descent COD player, not as good as those Major League Gaming guys, but not as bad as the six year old kids on here who put their mic way too close to their mouth and swear ever other word. "BOOM HEADSHOT SON!" I screamed as I got a lucky blind kill with my sniper rifle. On the other end of my headset I could hear the guy I killed yelling back at me with remarks along the lines of 'F**k you!' or 'lucky kill, shut up fag'. Sadly, that was language that was to be expected of when you play a game online.

After a while, I could hear the faint sound of our doorbell being rung upstairs. Has it already been an hour? Sure enough it was when I checked the clock on my phone, it was now exactly eleven.

I could hear his voice thanking my mom followed by the door opening.

"Yo Roxas! You down here?" I paused the game and took off my headphones completely, "Yeah Axel I'm here."

He walked down the stairs, over to the fridge to help himself to a coke and came over to the couch where I was sitting at.

"You doin any good?" He asked referring to how I was doing in the game online.

"Alright I guess, I'm up to 26 kills and 5 deaths." "Ha that's it? I would be flawless right now of I was playing with 50 kills and NO deaths haha." He playfully hit my shoulder, "Oh yeah tough guy? Then fine you take the controller and you can play."

Sure enough after around three minutes of the match he was already up to his quota of kills and deaths that he had mentioned. He exited the game though for some reason. "You alright Axel? Dude you were going full-out beast mode on those guys." "Yeah I'm fine, I actually wanted to talk to you about somethin-"

I knew what he was going to tell me. "About Larxene? Ha you sly dog!" He smiled and clenched his fist and hit it off his chest. "Hey no fair! Dude you ruined my awesome news! How'd you find out about it anyway?" We both said her name at the same time

"Xion"

We laughed and then he mentioned that Larxene was the the one to ask him out not vise versa. "Okay something is definetly wrong with her is she asked YOU out!"

"Oh bite me Roxas, nah man she's like the coolest chick I've ever met. She can be all girly girly but then kick a dude's butt without hesitating. Kinda hot. Yep Larxene...got it memorized?" "Yeah yeah I got it, but now it's my turn buddy boy." He gave me a quizzical look, "What are you talking abo-" "I met this girl yesterday." "Okay first off stop interrupting me dude ha, and second what's the girl's name?" "Her name is Kairi and I met her while I was getting a bite to eat at the Papau Cafe. She seems like a pretty cool girl and was really nice and was definitely hot." "Look at you" "But hold on Axel there's more!" He sighed and motioned with his hand to continue talking, "So after I left the cafe to meet up with Hayner Pence and Olette, well long story short Olette pulled me aside after everyone else left and told me she's liked me for a while now and...and she kissed me dude! And I kissed her back...it was so crazy but I can't stop thinking about it." Just then I threw my hands in the air. "Dude! You frickin teamkilled me." "What are you talking about I did not te-" just then it showed the replay of Axel's 'kill'. "Haha oh my bad dude I guess I did!"

We laughed some more and continued to sling some bull for a couple of hours while we talked about girls and played video games. The digital clock on the Playstation read 5:00pm, "Hey man it's already five. You wanna leave the house and go walk around the town? Maybe check out some girls and get a bite to eat or whatever?" "Axel you already have a girlfriend, but it wouldn't hurt to do some scopin. Yeah I'm game, let me go grab my shoes first." "Aight I should probably do the same."
