A/N: This chapter has come sooner than expected, I was going to think for a few days about what I should do for this chapter, but I've come back up with some ideas, and I hope you enjoy!

Sail into my heart
Aqua was sitting beside me, comforting me as I cried helplessly. When she had caught me crying there was no moment of peace, she'd been asking questions continuously as I told her my story, but she listened intently, holding on to every word.
"What did your father do to you Roxas?" Aqua asked me gently, she knew that she was stepping across the boundary, but this needed to come out.
I shut my eyes, fighting back the tears. Okay, here goes.
13th April 1912
1:20am
The grip of my fathers hand tightened on my shoulder as the distance between us and our room got smaller. I winced at the pain, but didn't dare let a peep of noise escape from my mouth. My father was angry, and I knew he could sense fear...
He opened our door loudly, fumbling round with the key while holding me tightly. He pushed me through the doorway roughly, making me trip over the legs of a chair and falling head-first. My father looked down at me with his death glare, staring me over.
"Serves you right you wretched boy. You bring shame on this family like no other; firstly you go gallivanting off with that boy! Then you're drinking and smoking your life away. You are scum, boy." He spat, picking me up by my collar. "I am going to make you obey me Roxas. Whether you like that or not, you are never see that boy again Roxas. Do you understand?" He hissed. I looked away bravely, my father shook me for an answer, but I kept my mouth shut.
"Understand!" This was no longer a question; to him there was only one answer, he shook me roughly. I didn't say a word. Resulting in a blow to the head, I fell to the ground in pain holding my head hoping the searing pain would stop. He began kicking me as tears fell down my cheeks. He wouldn't stop, not even when my mother came out of her bedroom, screaming at my terrible excuse of a father to stop, but he just pushed her away, too roughly. She fell to the ground with a strong impact, banging her back against the coffee table.
"Just stop!" I shouted, standing up shakily, I felt a searing pain through my arms and legs, but I tried to stand as straight as I could. My father looked at me, shocked at my bravery, but it didn't stay like that for long. His face turned cold, angry and evil, he punched me in the eye and stormed into his bedroom creating a loud bang and a door near to falling off its hinges.
"Mother" I croaked, I limped over to her; she was sobbing onto her arm, her dressing gown already damp. She pushed me away as I tried to help her up, she staggered as she stood up, holding her head. Cloud emerged from his room in his pyjamas; he looked at mother, then at me.
"What happened?" Cloud asked me, he sat mother down on a chair as he looked at her head. She looked dazed, but I could still see disappointment in her blue eyes. I tried to wipe what remained of my tears away, but it was no use.
"F-f-father" I stuttered. I started breathing slowly, after I got my breath back; I tried explaining why father was so angry and why I was at a 3rd class party drinking and smoking.
Cloud looked away in disappointment. "What did you think you were doing Roxas?" Cloud said tiredly, "You left for over a day, you now what, you have made all our lives a misery because of this. All of society is talking about us now because of what you did, their accusing mother and father of being reckless parents, which you know their not!" He was looking at me now; I could see the disappointment in his eyes too, he was right, I was making everyone's life a misery.
"Oh, and another thing, Naminé and her family have already heard about you gallivanting off, and her father is no longer allowing you to marry her. " Cloud spat, my breathe hitched at this point, I stood up angrily and gritted my teeth.
"I don't care about Naminé!" I shouted eyes raging. "I don't even love Naminé. I never have! I've never loved anyone" Cloud stood up at this point and grabbed my arm.
"Why did you agree to marry her Roxas? Why?" Cloud shouted, I could feel his breath on my skin.
"I don't know!" I screamed, "Just leave me alone!"
I ran for the door that led to the corridor, dodging Cloud's attempt to grab me again.
The pain in my arms and legs were gradually getting worse, but I ran to the person that cared most about me, Axel.
I knocked at his door panting, clutching my leg in pain.
"Do you know what time this is?" Axel said, his eyes closed with sleep. He struggle but managed to open them both. Axel frowned when he saw me, and scowled when he saw me holding my leg.
"What happened Roxas?" Axel said, closing the door behind him as he helped me sit down in the corridor. The tears began to fall down my cheeks before I could manage to stop them; he hugged me tightly and didn't say anything. And we stayed like that for a few minutes; the only thing heard were my loud sobs that I couldn't stop. I looked up at Axel, a tear ran down his cheek, but Axel wiped it away.
"Why are you crying?" I croaked, Axel took his arms off my shoulder and laid them on his lap.
"I don't like seeing you cry Roxas, I hate it in fact. I hate seeing you in pain, I know your father did this to you Roxas." I looked down to the floor as Axel carried on."It's my fault that he did that to you, if I didn't take you to that stupid party." Axel whispered, he looked down to the floor as hee held his face in his hands. I took one of his hands and held it, he looked up at me, looking at his hand that I was squeezing reassuringly.
"It's not your fault Axel, that party was the best night of my life, mainly because you were there with me..." I smiled, I put his hand on my cheek as I saw him smile, I noticed him leaning in for a kiss. But I'm not stopping him this time...
The second our lips touched, the pain from my body evaporated into thin air and electricity tingled up and down my spine. The only thing I could feel were his plush, pink lips merging with mine and his arms round my body holding me tightly. If only this could last forever...
A/N:
I was DYING to write that bit! It's just a shame it took me so long, but the next chapter hopefully won't take as long, but I can't promise anything thanks to the fact that I'm unreliable! Sorry that this chapter is so short, but the next one will be longer!
Please carry on reading!
