Axel walked around the city streets. He had left the apartment after a good hour and an half talk with Marluxia. He was just walking around to clear his head and to get his thoughts in order. It was shocking, to say the least, when he heard about what had happened to Roxas. He could really understand why he was mute! No one would be okay after something that horrible happened. He had been walking around for about twenty minutes now. After awhile he he was able to come to terms with two things. First, He knew he really, really liked Roxas. And second, he knew that he had to protect his little blonde. Axel knew his feeling for Roxas would not change.

He pulled out his phone and looked at the time. He had been walking around for about half of an hour. He quickly looked up, from the corner of his eye he could have sworn he saw Roxas. And to his surprise he was right. The little blonde was limping down the large bridge. "Roxas?" Axel questioned lightly. He started to walk towards the blonde. His blood ran cold when he saw Roxas stop in the middle of the bridge and stare at the water. Axel broke into a full blown run. He knew what Roxas was thinking and there was no way in hell he would let him do it. "ROXAS!" he yelled at the top of this lungs.

Roxas crawled over the railing and continued to stare at the water. Axel was almost there, his long legs caring him faster then ever. Roxas pushed himself off as Axel reached for him. Axel's face paled as the blonde slipped through his fingers. "ROXAS!" He screamed at the boy's falling form. Axel stayed frozen as he watched the boy hit the water. He quickly pulled out his cell phone and called the police.

By the time they got there and pulled Roxas out of the water it was to late. His body was cold and almost blue. His eyes were dull and they little bit of light that was left was gone. Axel could not process what was going on. If he had only been a little bit faster. If he had only had talked to Roxas more. There were so many thing he could have done, but didn't. The police drove Axel home. Axel and Marluxia sat silently on the couch.

The next day a investigation was started due to suspicious injures on Roxas's body. Three day after that Roxas's father was arrested. Sora had a breakdown when he found out. Riku kept a close eye on Sora after that. After a few years Sora and Riku went to college and got married after. Axel was never the same though. He closed himself off. After he finished college he became a social service worker. No one was truly the same after Roxas died. Axel never forgot Roxas. Even though a part of him died with Roxas, he refused to forget. He would always remember and do anything in his power to stop such a thing from happening again. Because this was never the end to the story he wished for.
