Chapter 9 – The Day Before The Sinking
Axel flipped over, landing on his back onto the bed, a grin on his face. I couldn't help panting, that was the best thing that I have ever done, so far, in my life.
"What are you grinning about?" I whispered, I know why his smile was wide and happy, but I wanted to hear it from him.
"You know what!" Axel chuckled as his put his arms round me and held me close.
"I love you Axel…" I smiled.
"I love you too Roxy" Axel whispered, hugging me even tighter.
"Rox?"
"Yes Axel?" I said as I looked up to meet his eyes.
"What are your plans for when, you know… we get to New York?" Axel asked me, I smiled and decided to lead him on.
"Oh I dunno…maybe get a job, get a wife, you know…" I grinned. I felt Axel squeeze my bum as he laughed.
"Okay, as I assume you don't have any plans then, well I was thinkin' you would come and stay with my Mum in New York. You're more than welcome, I mean, my mum won't mind. 'Specially as I'm getting a job as soon as I get there, if they say I'm too young, I'll show them what I'm made of."
I smiled at Axel, he was willing to let me live with him and his mother. It's a big step, but I can't go back to Mother and Father, they would'nt accept me back. Would they?
"I dunno Axe, I'd love too, but I'll need to sort out my relationship with my parents before I make any decis-". Before I could finish, there was a knock at the door, and me and Axel were frantic at getting dressed.
"Just a minute!" Axel shouted as he struggled to put his trousers on.
"Roxas, come to the door please." I put my clothes on even faster, it was Mother.
I opened the door slightly, to see Mother holding a suitcase and tears in her eyes.
"Can you come out here please, so we can talk in private…" She said, looking at Axel as she said it.
"Urm…Yes of course" I said quietly, just loud enough for her to hear.
"I'll only be a minute." I said to Axel as I shut the door behind me.
Once we were both outside in the corridor, a silence engulfed my ears.
"Oh Roxas!" My mother exclaimed as she fell into my arms, hugging me tightly when she dropped the suitcase. I hugged her back tightly, knowing this would probably be the last time I'd ever see her, and the last time we'd ever hug. I felt her sobbing into my shoulder, her body shaking with every tear.
"Why are crying so much Mother?" I whispered into her hair, she pulled away and wiped away her tears.
"You can't live with us anymore Roxas. Your father won't allow it…" she said, still wiping away the remaining tears. I looked down at the floor, I should have known he would have done this. He's a coward, a selfish man that only thinks about popularity and money…
"He says that you'll just bring our family down. Destroy our good name…Oh Roxas! I wish your father wasn't like this. He never was until he got that job, the pressure got to him, he was caring and considerate. Now, he's a monster Roxas, but I can't stop loving him, because I can see through your father Roxas. You must know that your father loves you, he always has and always will, and so do I. You will always be my special boy" She whispered as she held my chin up and kissed my cheek. A tear fell down my cheek, but she wiped it away quickly.
"You're clever Roxas, you'll do well. As soon as you arrive in New York, find a job, and you'll be fine. You'll be fine won't you?" mother said, her voice wavering. I hugged her tightly, and whispered into her ear.
"I'll be fine Mother, don't worry about me. Wish Cloud the best of luck from me, please?" She nodded and pulled away, I grabbed the suitcase knocked on the door of Axel's room.
"Good Luck Roxas, remember, you'll always be my boy" She smiled and waved as she walked up the steps to the deck.
Axel opened the door, looking at the tears that had just formed. He opened his arms, gestering for me to hug him and explain what happened. I fell into his arms, just like Mother did to me. I tried to keep the tears in before we went back inside the room, where I could open up. I pulled away and walked into the room, dropping the suitcase onto the floor and slumped on to the floor next to it. Axel sat down next me, pulling me onto his nap and holding me close.
"Are you gonna tell me what happened?" Axel whispered.
"Y-yeah, well it looks as if I'll be staying with you in New York Axel…" I stuttered, Axel squeezed me even harder as the tears started to come. I should probably be happy that I'm going to be with the person I love and to not be controlled by my disgusting father. However, it was the just the fact that I was no longer welcome in the family I used to love. I could no longer go back to them, so if something dreadful happened between me and Axel, I'd have no-one. No-one at all…
"I take it, your parents have disowned you, huh…" Axel said as he stroked my hair. I nodded slowly, too exhausted to talk.
"Hey, you should have a nap, you look tired" Axel smirked, knowing exactly why I'm tired. I nodded again as Axel lifted me up onto the bed and tucked me in, it felt like I was 5 again.
"I love you Roxy" Axel whispered as he kissed my nose. I smiled meekly, closing my eyes tiredly.
Dream
"Axel?" I shouted, I looked at the sinking ship from my lifeboat, and my Father smiling as he held Axel down on the deck.
"Oh you don't need to worry about him anymore Roxas" My father spat as he picked Axel up and held him up by the throat and holding over the Ocean. "He'll be right where he belongs. IN HELL!"
I screamed in terror as I saw the love ofmy life be dropped into the Ocean, I screamed Axel's name over and over again, but no-one even looked at me, and not a single red-head was in the sea…
End of Dream
5pm-The Bedroom
"Rox, Roxas, wake up!" Axel exclaimed, he shook me awake, his eyes wide with concern. "You were screaming, are you okay?" I wasn't sure if I was alright, but I nodded anyway. It was only a dream, besides this ship is unsinkable, right?
"Rox, we better get somethin' to eat right?" Axel smiled, wiping the sweat from my forehead and kissed it chastedly. I nodded again, and got out of bed. I noticed a red mark on Axel's cheek, I made him look at me as I had a closer look.
"How did you get this Axel?" I asked him, still examining it. Axel shut his eyes, obviously annoyed that I had noticed it.
"It's nothing Rox, really…" Axel said, pulling my hand away from his face.
"No Axel, it isn't nothing, who's slapped you?"
"I told you Roxas. It's nothing!" Axel snapped, I looked away tiredly, I just have to accept that he doesn't want to talk about it.
"Look, I'm sorry for snapping at you, but really, it's nothing, okay?" Axel smiled, I nodded and let him kiss my nose again.
"What is it with my nose that you like so much?" I laughed, as Axel kissed it again.
"Because it's small and perfect. Just likea boy I know" Axel chuckled, I laughed again and put my arm round Axel's waist as he opened the door.
Back to Reality
"Well, well, well Roxas. I must say that you have just told me the best part of the story!"Aqua laughed, obviously aiming at me and Axel and our first time.
"Well, that's the last of the good part of the journey, because the next day was the worst day of my life." I mumbled, Aqua stopped laughing and rubbed my arm reassuringly.
"Maybe that can wait for tomorrow, huh? That's enough for today, anyway, do you want some lunch?" Aqua smiled, rising from the sofa to go into the kitchen.
"No thanks, I'm not really hungry." I explained, turning the TV on, and it just happens to be a documentry on the sinking of Titanic. Life loves to torture me…
A/N: I hope you enjoyed it! And again, I'm sorry for leading you on with the next part of the story. I got confused with all the dates. However, it will be next chapter that Titanic will be doomed, although it will be put into two chapters, but you'll have to just wait and see!
