Blooming Love;

Moving

I moved my smale pale hand across my eyes to remove the sleep from my ocean-blue eyes. It was a tad annoying to be recieveing calls this early..or was it this late?

I flashed open my eyes to look at the clock on my nightstand next to my bed and it read 11:54.

It took my mind a few moments to register the fact that I had to meet Kairi my cousin at the dock in about 6 minutes to get ready to take the flight to my new 'home' Twilight Town.

I leaned up in my bed, pushing back my pale blond locks and looked at my cell, I had a few missed calls. Ah well, it could wait.

I yawned and stretched slowly hoping not to yell out to loud because my mother could hear since our house was so small. Not like it mattered she was probably at work.

I looked again at the clock again and it read 11:55. Oh great, I had just enough time to put on my clothes and shove the rest of my belongings into my bag and reach the dock..or wait didn't I have to go to the Diner first? Oh it didn't matter at the moment.

I finally just decided to go down to the beach to get one last chance to breath in the sea-salt air, feel the sand in between my toes and let my mind roam free without worry.

I ran into the bathroom quickly throwing on a light blue bikini, some tan shorts and a white tank. I looked down in the hallway and could see my mother's door open ajar, and she was sleeping soundly.

I grabbed my things, and my suitcase and tiptoed down the stairs placing a note on my mother's counter reminding her when she was ready where to meet me, with her now current boyfriend.

I yawned running my pale blue painted fingertips through my hair and ran out the door towards the beach.

I ran down to the beach considering I wouldn't be able to take my car with me to Twilight Town and well Destiny Islands wasn't that big, so I could deal.

As I reached the beach I could faintly make out Kairi in her light pink bikini her arms locked around her boyfriend Soras' neck and she was pecking him on the cheek. Ew, love fest was certainly going on down there.

I turned sharply on my heels to collide with someone and I fell backwards and I swore I was going to break something considering how everyone claimed I was so 'fragile' Yet..I didn't fall just I fell into someone.

I looked up into pale blue eyes and I smiled softly, I could see it was Hikari, Roxas my childhood friend. But..thing was he wasn't to happy to see me after all these years. He held onto my wrist tightly securing my fall and my hands were pushed against his chest. He looked almost pained to see him.

Almost instantly he let go of me and then I did fall, onto my legs, a seashell skimmed across my knee-cap and it started to bleed.

Roxas looked down and suddenly his eyes grew wide. "Naminé..let me help you-" He reached out a hand to pull me up.

I flinched back and stood up slowly, staggering. "It's alright..I can take care of myself."

I felt water rise on my eyelashes and I could hear my heart pound hard in my chest..I looked away wiping my hand across my face and walked down to the ocean..tears clearing sliding down my cheeks falling down onto the sandy floor.

Kairi momentarily looked away from Sora and gawked at me, concerened. "Naminé? What's wrong?"

Sora looked at me to, and his face grew sad and he looked over at his cousin, and best friend for life Roxas. He whispered gently to Kairi but I could hear him. "It's Roxas..ever since he ditched Naminé at the swings that one time long ago he regrets even looking her in the eye."

More tears swelled up into my eyes but I stayed strong..atleast for the moment. I walked into the ocean letting the water slide across my ankles and I tilted my head back breathing in the strong sea-air.

I emitted and audible sigh but I froze once arms were slung around my shoulders and I was pulled into a tight hug. "Nami-chan cheer up!"

A smile glued its way onto my face as I turned and looked up to see my faithful friend Yuna. She was so beautiful, I was envious of her. She looked sad as she saw my face, all red and my face was tearing. "Oh sweetie, what happened?"

I shrugged calmly and moved away from her embrace. "Nothing..umm..my flights leaving soon right? So I might as well go get ready..yes?"

Yuna looked utterly confused, but she understood and whispered "Yeah."

I walked past her, wiping my eyes completely dry. I completely ignored my surroundings and grabbed my bags swining them over my small frame, and grabbed ahold of my suitcase. I headed towards the dock where Kairi would be driving us to Twilight Town.

There was a small flaw to this plan..I knew for a fact that Roxas would not be at our school..thank god.

But during the car ride..Sora would be joining us which entirely would be like hell.

I mentally slapped myself for cursing so meanly at Sora..he wasn't such a bad guy..I just disliked his cousin..ever since he hurt me that long time ago.

I sighed erasing away the memory for a moment as I reached the back of Kairi's moms car, placing my suitcase and a few bags into the back. I held onto one bag though the one where I kept my art supplies and my recent sketchbook.

I climbed into the back of the van knowing Kairi and Sora always sat in the middle, and I curled up into the seat placing stretching out my legs, letting my bare toes curl around the door frame of the door across from me. I leaned into the seat and opened my sketchbook, I started to sketch and I didn't notice I drew Roxas..and his pained face when he looked at me until I heard a door slam from in front of me.

I looked up and saw Kairi's mom muttering darkly to herself but she stopped when she saw me, "Oh honey I'm sorry I didn't notice you-what's wrong? You look awfully sad."

I shook my head gently, hating myself for being so open about showing my emotions clearly. "Oh! Um it's nothing to worry about..sorry I took the back..I find more comfort being by myself.."

Her mom smiled and laughed gently. "Don't worry the seats' all yours sweetheart."

I smiled sweetly in response and snuggled more into the seat, but after a few moments I had managed to draw a heart around Roxas' name on the sketch and my sketchbook dropped into my lap as I flashed my eyes closed and sleep dawned on me, but before I closed my eyes Roxas' pained face scarred itself into my mind.

--x;

As I awoke I kinda guessed it was a few moments later, I opened my eyes to find my lap cold, from the sketchbook obviously not being in my lap for a period of time. I rubbed the sleep from my pretty pale blue eyes and leaned up to notice Kairi's eyes were soft as she stared at my sketchbook..the drawing she stared at was the one of Roxas.

I sighed irritably and stretched, feeling cramped up in the car, I noticed as I looked outside we were probably halfway there.

Kairi noticed I was awake and she turned to look at me, a faint smile plastered onto her light pink-glossed lips. "Naminé..your so talented..but what's with his face like this? Is this the look he gave you when he looked at you?"

I could feel fresh tears brimming on the corner of my eyeslashes..and silent sobs emitted through my throat as I painly coughed while crying.

Kairi reached her hand back to me and grabbed my hand patting it delicately, I could just see Sora's face through the car seat a few seats in front of me, worried. But what I hadn't realized was that Sora was on his cellphone talking to the one guy I hoped to never see again, Roxas.

Kairi seemed very concerened about me, but I shooed the thought away as I grabbed my sketchbook from her..and threw it onto the ground under my seat.

I wiped my eyes, sighing softly as I leaned my head against the window pane and watched the scenery pass before my eyes.

Kairi had retreated her hand away from me as I had seemed to calm down to her extent atleast..and I could finally hear what they were talking about, and Kairi's mom clearly and painfully asked if I was alright.

Sora seemed pained as he spoke quietly to Roxas..clearly hoping I hadn't heard there conversation..while Kairi leaned her head against Sora's shoulder..sad and upset.

"Roxas..why couldn't you just apologize to her? Your breaking her heart into pieces each minute..she sketched the look you gave her on her sketchbook! Why didn't you just apologize to her for what you did that long time ago? That's all I ask of you!" Sora quietly hissed into the phone.

I couldn't hear Roxas' voice..but I knew he didn't care I could tell by Sora's tone.

Kairi wasn't talking which of course seemed to me wasn't normal, I leaned closer into the seat as I heard her lean back slowly.

Sora had hung up on Roxas since I could hear the loud clunck! his cell made as it dropped into the seat beside him, he had etched Kairi closer to him and wrapped his arm around her petit frame, whispering soothingly into her ear, "Roxas..will fix this between him and Naminé. I know he will."

I highly doubted it, but really who knew?

--x;

My face was shoved against the cold window pane as we traveled down the unfimiliar roads of Twilight Town. A faint sigh emitted through my lips and I my face was smug as we traveled down the road to our dorm rooms. I leaned against the seat staring at the cieling and remembered memories from long ago. I wish we could just go back to those times..so carefree and back then I was so chilidish and happy without a care in the world..but now I'm grown up, and I have 'responsibilities.'

As the car halted to a stop, I leaned up slowly and actually took the moment to fully look out the window. We had stopped in front of a beautiful creamy white colored apartment, which was faintly big from the looks of it. It had a black spiral staircase along the side to get to the rooms, and instantly I saw a room with a balcony and I wanted it. White, blue, and purple flowers were around the outside of the house near the door, and a 'Welcome' mat was placed on the front floor steps of the front door.

I grabbed my sketchbook shoving the swirled white and light blue pencil into my pocket as I tucked the sketchbook underneath my arm and climbed over the seat, stepping out of the van stretching my achey limbs. I yawned stiffly and sluggishly walked towards the back of the van to help get the things. Kairi wasn't one to do work, obviously as she got of the car and walked up the front door. Sora was about to come help..but just decided not to by the look he gave to Kairi's mother.

Kairi's mother looked at me gratefully and told me I could pick first the room I wanted, in responce I smiled faintly as I grabbed Kairi and my things swinging them over my small frame..and walked up to the front door placing my things on the ground as I approached inside. As promised I did get first pick of the rooms and I picked the room with the balcony.

As I walked inside of the room it was the carpet was a creamy white but the walls were a pale blue. Absoulutely Perfect. I whispered to myself softly.

I placed my things on the ground and opened the balcony door letting the luke-warm air blow my hair back from my face. I smile gently leaning against the door frame as I looked around at Twilight Town. Maybe this wouldn't turn out so bad.

Yes..that was an understatement..it probably wouldn't turn out..okay at all.

Kairi had stopped by my door, and chuckled lightly. I turned my head towards her and she said "Pizza or Chinese food for dinner?"

I closed my eyes momentarily and as I reopened them I said softly "Pizza.."

Kairi nodded and said "Hey..Naminé..about that sketch of Roxas..we'll keep the secret between us alright?"

I nodded faintly and stared at my feet. By we she meant..Her, Sora and I..sure Sora would keep the secret, but when it came to relationships Kairi couldn't keep her mouth shut. By school on Monday she'd tell the whole word.

I then noticed today was only Saturday but it was late in the afternoon..I did have some time to explore I assumed. Maybe tonight I would go down to the beach and sketch or actually I'd see if they would have a boardwalk and spend the night there..they had a beach at the boardwalk so yeah..I guess that would be my plan for tonights fun.

I started to unpack throwing all my island clothes onto my bed..mentally noting that maybe on Sunday me and Kairi could go shopping for some new outfits.

I leaned against the wall, and looked down at my suitcases..they contained my paintings, drawings..sketches. I had books I collected and CDs, plus a few shoes..and things such as that.

I hadn't even started to fully unpack until their was a light tap on my door. Sora poked his head around my door frame and said gently "Pizzas' here Naminé" I nodded silently and walked out my door heading downstairs to the diner room.

As we ate..I started a conversation.

"Hey..Miss. Skyee..after dinner could I go down to the boardwalk? I'll make sure to be back not to late.." I asked softly.

Kairi's mom smiled at me. "Call me Janine, Naminé and sure..you can..don't matter about coming back late it's not a rule in this household."

I smiled faintly and Kairi leaned towards me whispering gently "Already wanting to see cute boys huh?"

I didn't really answer, just took a bite of my pizza and looked down at the tan tablecloth, intertwining my fingertips together.

Sora looked at me and smiled alittle. "Ey Naminé maybe you and Kairi should go shopping tomorrow, it would give you a 'girls day out' together."

I smiled gratefully at him, knowing he probably noticed me needing new clothes and Kairi squealed in delight. "Yes! Of course!"

As we finished eating our pizza I asked to help with the dishes..but of course Janine refused but I asked very politely and pleading-like.

I was able to and finished them quickly, after that I quickly ran a brush through my pale blond hair that curled alittle at the tips on the end which trailed alittle past my shoulders. I tucked my sketchbook under my arm still not changing into anything else, but I grabbed a light white sweater incase it got cold and walked out the door towards the boardwalk.

I got lost a couple times but finally managed to find it, as I walked onto the deck my feet felt hot and I frowned slowly..I forgot my shoes at the house but I simply shrugged ignoring the slight burning of my toes. I walked onto the warm sand..noticing the sky turned a dark-blueish black..and I sunk down into the sand alittle near the water. I put my sketchbook onto my lap, and began to sketch the ocean..but turned and decided to sketch the scene in front of me which was the boardwalk..and people happily walking together..some couples with kids..but than I saw a blond spiky haired boy who looked so familiar but I couldn't see his face from so far away. I sketched him because he looked so..well..lonely. I looked down getting into my sketch and finished it in a few moments. Suddenly a big gush of wind blew and I was being pulled down by the sand towards the water. My sketchbook was on the sand..but I wasn't concerened with that at the moment.

A huge wave overtook me and I spluttered water out..but I couldn't breath it just kept coming...I was sinking lower and lower into the water and I swear it felt like I was choking. My eyes closed and darkness was overflowing me but I felt a warm hand wrap around my small waist and pull me out of the water and I fell with a loud THUMP! next to my sketchbook. I felt soft warm hands pound on my chest and I leaned up hurling water out of my mouth and coughed heavily.

I looked up to see who had saved me..but all I could see was a flash of spikey blond hair..and wet light blue eyes and that was all before he disappeared into the crowd and I was left feeling confused.

He..he looked like Roxas..no he couldn't be Roxas..could he? No! He couldn't be! Roxas..he stayed in Destiny Islands..well with his girlfriend? I think her name was..Marlene? I felt myself placed my cold pale hand over my chest where my heart was.

It was thumping hard and as I looked down at my sketchbook on the page was a name scribbled down onto the page and my eyes widened as I read the writing. In neat cursive scribbled it read:

I am here for you Naminé always..I'll be watching over you. I WILL protect you.

I could feel my heart beat increasing..and I fell back onto my back against the sand..I just couldn't understand all these events. Who was this guy who saved me who looked exactly like Roxas? His eyes..they were so cold..so sad..I felt sad just looking at them. Did the guy regret saving me? And was he the one who wrote this on my sketch?

I closed my eyes slowly..as I tried to remember everything that had occured that night..and I kept that guys face in my mind..letting the cool breeze blow my wet strands of hair across my face. I breathed peacefully. I vowed to myself that I would figure out who saved me..and if he wrote this on my sketch. I would try to understand...everything.
