All he said was "I love you", before turning around and walking away. I knew from the way his eyes glinted that every word he said was true. I gasped when a (as he called it) dark corridor opened. as he entered the portal, he faced me for a fraction of a second and said "goodbye". I felt my heart sink like a stone into the turquoise ocean of despare, I got that feeling every time he left. Like a part of me had gone with him, like I couldn't function properly without him there caressing me and guiding me through the depressing life I lead.
The next few days, I missed him too much. every evening I stood on the landing (where I first met him) WISHING he'd come back, but somewhere deep in my heart I knew he wouldn't. I doodled him in my spare time, and didn't speak to anyone for a week, because it felt like I'd never lay eyes on his blazing red hair, or hear his lighthearted laugh ever again.

And to my despair I couldn't me closer to the truth.
My life seemed to be dragging now, without his face to look forward to in the evenings. But one evening he came back.
that day had passed as usual, boring classes, boring homelife. but then in the evening, I saw it, The dark corridor that I'd yearned to see for so long. and he stepped out, but it wasn't the axel I'd come to love, he looked pained and deeply upset. I went to give him a hug when he pushed me off and said "GO... GET OFF ME!!" his entire body was quaking with anger and sadness. I knew that he'd never cry, but to my suprise a trickle of tears slowly crept out of his amazing eyes. "I can't come and see you any more. it's roxas... he's gone... though he di-" "WAIT WHO IS ROXAS??" I asked, thinking out loud really. but I got an answer sooner than I'd expected. "He's a friend... but he's gone, he killed himself to save that JERK of a body and soul... I hate him!!" Braking away from my embrace he opened the dark corridor and ran through.
I knew then HE was GONE...
