Finding You

Chapter 2

Roxas winced as his head was bashed into the brick wall yet again. The jeering group of bullies had made their move, cornering him after school had ended, and outnumbered him ten to one. 
    His face met the cold, hard wall that was drenched in his blood, the red liquid being smeared around on his face. Roxas could feel the numbness on both of his cheeks from being repeatedly pounded into the wall. He was used to the physical abuse from his father all the time, so this wasn't anything new.
     He could recall all those nights, his father stumbling home drunk and proceeding with the familiar actions of removing the butcher knife from the drawer.
      Roxas felt tears rolling down his face as he traced the fresh scab that ran from his elbow to his wrist. His father had been harsher than usual last night. It had taken over an hour to stop the wound from pouring blood. 

        "Hello, rat." 

      The main bully now shoved Roxas to the ground, the bottoms of his gum covered shoes smashing the blonde's face into the ground.
      The bully's coal black eyes glared down menacingly at the weakling lying still before him. The brat deserved it. He snickered. Who would have thought today would be going this great for him?
        That annoying red head wasn't here to rescue this pathetic creature this time. He laughed at the pain written all over Roxas' face. This felt good.
         "I suggest you step away from my cousin, Kent."
         Kent wheeled a full 180 only to feel a rock hard fist make an impact on his face. Stumbling backwards clutching his nose, Kent got a good look at his challenger.
         Standing before him was Vanitas Hikari, the school's best hockey player and chick magnet. Vanitas cracked his knuckles slowly, taking a good look at Roxas' beaten and abused face.
          Anger flamed in his golden eyes as he glared at Kent, mustering all his strength to keep from murdering the bully in cold blood. This jerk had messed Roxas' face up without any feeling of regret. No one hurt his friends and lived to see daylight. 
           He growled, setting his backpack and hockey equipment on the pavement. Vanitas was going to teach these punks what happened when they messed with his friends and family. 
         Letting anger flow through him, a short burst of power ran through his arm, combining together in a blinding white light. 
         Within a second or two, Vanitas was wielding his Keyblade, ready to beat the heck out of these bullies.    
       Kent had begun approaching Vanitas, but now backed away in fright at the sight of the weapon. The bully's group of followers had already made a mad dash out of the alley, fearing for their lives.
          "Why don't I mess up your face to match what you did to Roxas?"
        Vanitas laughed, cornering the brunette in the far end of the alley.
         "Let me show you just how much it hurts to be the weakling."
       Raising his Keyblade to strike, a single timid voice caused Vanitas to pause.
        "Don't do it Van," whispered Roxas  weakly. "That makes you just as bad as him."
        Vanitas snorted. "You got lucky this time punk."
       He released the Keyblade, letting it slowly disintegrate into nothingness before it hit the ground.
        Vanitas punched the bully one last time in the stomach, reminding him as a warning of what would happen next time.
         Slowly helping Roxas up, with both arms supporting the teenager, Vanitas hobbled along with his cousin towards the school where the nurse's office was.
         Steeping inside the sterilized room, Vanitas sat Roxas down in the chair, yanking his cellphone out of his pocket to dial Sora and Ven. They would want to know what happened today.
          Roxas glared at the white walls of the nurse's office that were decorated with hygiene posters. This whole room made him feel off. He reached up to rub his bruised face. Blood transferred from surface to surface, leaving a red smudge on his pale skin.
       The throbbing was slowly getting worse as he sat in that room, waiting for the nurse to arrive. 
        A opening of the door made Roxas look up. Axel had quietly exited the nurse's examination room, softly closing the door behind him and turning to face Roxas.
        "Hey there little buddy- HOLY-"
     Axel's face twisted into concern and anger as he softly caressed Roxas' face.
         "Who did this?" Axel's voice was dangerous and quiet as he spoke to Roxas, as if all hell would brake loose if he wasn't.
        "I-I ran into a t-tree." Roxas stuttered while trying to hide his lie. He could never tell lies again after enduring his life at home with his dad and Sora. If they were caught lying, the unlucky twin would receive another scar for their growing collection. 
            Axel's emerald eyes looked into Roxas' very calmly, as if he was holding back all his anger from the blonde. 
        "Who. Did. This. To. You?"
      The red head sounded out the syllables to Roxas, making sure the latter of the two knew what he was talking about.
         Roxas could feel the tears coming on. Stupid emotions. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to-
       One sympathetic glance from Axel was all it took. In a matter of seconds, Roxas was crying in Axel's shoulder about the abusive bullies, while simultaneously grasping the red head tighter. 
     "Those jerks are going to pay."
