Riku shook his head in response to the question. "Trust me, you'll make it better." He whispered as one last phase of encouragement before he walked over to Axel with Sora. He want this to be therapeutic for Axel, so Riku took this moment to back off. It would be helpful to Axel as he tried to fix the broken ties with Sora if Riku just let Sora be the sole help in Axel's time of need. Axel could pick up their friendship at the same deep level of trust they most likely ended on.
At first, when Axel heard the voice, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him. He hadn't heard Sora's voice in years, but it was so familiar... Was his mind really that good at trying to trick him? The redhead cautiously pulled his face out of the crook of Demyx's neck as if he was scared he really was imagining the hand he could now feel pressing on his shoulder. Those perfect blue eyes from earlier now staring down into his green eyes once again. It couldn't be true.. "S-Sora...?" Axel questionably asked looking momentarily to the other two to see if they were seeing the brunette as well. He wasn't going completely crazy just yet it seemed. Axel felt his lip tremble as his eyes match with Sora's once again. "I-It's really you..."He breathed deeply before yanking the smaller teen to him and hugging him tightly. He could feel the tears streaming down onto Sora's shirt, but he couldn't stop crying. He was just so happy that he had gotten one of them back. "P-please don't leave me again too. I-I don't think I can deal with anymore leaving today.."He whispered as he tightly embraced the brunette. None of what he was now asking of Sora probably made any sense, but Axel needed to say it to make himself feel better. He couldn't lose them both again in the same day. He just couldn't.

Sora just nodded his head, tears now waterfalling down his cheeks. When he was engulfed in Axel's arms, he just cried with him, hugging him back as tightly as he could. "I-I won't. I swear I won't leave you, Axel," he cried. "I missed you s-so much..." They cried together for a bit before it was calmed down enough to be coherent. "Uhm...Axel..? What'd you mean by you couldn't handle anymore leaving today?" Demyx asked cautiously. "Who left you? The guy you hit..?" He rubbed his back gently.

Axel's breath had now regulated as he felt himself calm again. Seeing Sora had pushed the thought of Roxas leaving from his mind, Demyx's question just reminded of him why he became so upset in the first place. "Oh.. Oh.. no.." Axel mumbled thinking back on it. "Sora..."He whispered looking to the brunette now.. He hadn't thought about it until then, but how did they even find Sora. They had looked into the people in the area and from what they knew Sora, if he was adopted, didn't live around here. "Where did you find Sora first? I thought... I thought we would never see you again," He whispered looking back in forth between Demyx and Sora for a moment. So much was happening all at once, Axel needed to start somewhere basic and slowly try to understand it one piece at a time.
Roxas stared into the mirror in the bathroom down the hall from his first block. He had somehow managed to sustained enough adrenaline to make it back to his first block, but the teacher sent him to the bathroom to clean his face after just catching a glimpse of him. Of course now Roxas was so woozy, he couldn't walk back to the class room. He had managed to wash his face, and wash the blood from the various scrapes he received from the redhead's car. He even was able to bandage the cut he got on his forehead with the small first aid he had found stashed in his bag that he had forget about. He was going to be late for class all because he couldn't stand up without feeling like he was going to pass out.

"I...I was adopted two weeks ago, and I apparently go to your school now..," Sora said softly, wiping Axel's cheeks free of tears. "How...how about we just...skip today and you guys come to my house so we can get out of the street?" the brunette asked, looking up between the three. "My parents won't mind the company, and I don't think you'll make it through a school day, Ax..." He smiled softly at him. "Ya know...normally I don't like missing school, buuuut I think Sora's right... I'll drive your car behind mine, Ax. Riku can drive you and Sora in my car to Sora's house." He looked to Riku for conformation with a nod. The blond was eerily calm about it--a side of him that usually didn't come out. "Come on, Ax... Let's stand up," he told him gently. He and Sora helped him stand then over to the back seat of Sora's car. "I'll see you in a little bit, okay?" He leaned down and kissed the redhead's forehead before shutting the door and getting in Axel's car which the keys were still in. Sora slid in beside Axel and shut the door as well, waiting for Riku to join them. The brunette moved over and sat in Axel's lap, hugging him around the neck. He nuzzled his nose into Axel's neck and relaxed. "I missed you so much, Big Brother," he whispered to him, snuggling against his chest like he was a big, redheaded teddy bear that could take all the bad out of the world.
"Hey, f*****t," sneered a dirty blond to Roxas as he walked into the bathroom. He kicked his foot as he walked by before walking to one of the stalls. He quickly did his business then went to wash his hands. As he was washing them, he turned back around to look at Roxas. He noticed he wasn't looking so good and squatted down in front of him, popping him in the head lightly. "Hey, you alright, f*****t?" he asked with a surprising hint of worry in his voice. "Dude, what happened to your face..?" he asked, face turning to shock as he noticed the bruising from it hitting the hood of Axel's car and the scraped from the road.

"So you really are staying," Axel whispered hopefully as he looked to Sora with a small, fragile ounce of hope in his voice now. He nodded to the plan before helping his best to walk on his own. His legs were pretty weak from all the trauma from early. It was probably for the best no one was going to school day.. well except Roxas, but Axel at the moment was trying to forget about ever seeing Roxas.... He just got Sora back... If Sora knew Axel hit Roxas with his car... Sora would probably hate him, too... As they started to drive to Sora new house, that was the last thing Axel wanted to do. "I missed you too, little bro.... I missed you too..."He whispered quietly. The words came out so easily... He had dreamed of saying those words to Sora for a long time now, and it made him feel tremendously better to finally get to say them.
Roxas breathed slowly. Just sitting down and staying awake was starting to become a difficult task... Had he really gotten a concision from rolling over Axel's car? As Hayner walked into the bathroom, he tried to reach out for help, but the other blonde didn't seem to notice his condition until he pass Roxas a second time. "ahh-" Roxas whined sharply as Hayner popped him in his head. He normally could take a hit, but he had developed a massive headache since he had run out of energy.... He should have let Axel take him to get looked at by a doctor... "..... I... I think I need... to go to the hospital..."He muttered as he felt himself starting to lose consciousness and tipping over onto the floor completely.

Sora nodded slightly. "I'm definitely staying here... I'm...I'm really happy here... It's even better now that I know I have you guys..." He smiled to himself then frowned slightly. "I just...really wish Roxas was here, too... I hope he made it to a nice family..." He sighed softly, squeezing Axel a little tighter as Riku got in and they began down the street. "Um...Riku, do you know where the Maple District is? My parents said it's a fairly new neighborhood...pretty nice, average housing..."
"Oh, s**t..!" Hayner yelped as he caught Roxas mid-fall. "H-Hey! Stay awake!" he squeaked out, shaking him a little. He began to panic and pulled out his phone, calling 911, explaining everything spastically. Then he lifted the blond up and rushed him out to the front steps. He sat there with him, trying to help him stay awake until the ambulance got there. "U-Uh...your name's Roxas, right?" he asked, quickly trying to come up with a conversation. "You...uh...you're in my Algebra I class... You...uhm...you're really smart. H-How old are you?" he asked. "Keep your eyes open!" he said quickly. "Please, just...try not to go to sleep..."

Axel felt his heart clench with pain. Roxas..."You can't make me okay anymore.." His words rang through Axel's head like a sick taunt. All the words that Roxas had said to him were now repeating over and over in his head. "Ummm, yeah, Maple is two streets down from Cypress right-" "Stop the car," Axel yelled out of no where. Riku startled and stopped the car before looking back at Axel. Of course, by the time the car was stopped Axel had moved Sora off of him and climbed out of the car. "I'm sorry, I'll meet you guys up later, I just.... I need to see him again.. I need him to know you are okay.... I need him not to hate me," Axel abruptly started explaining before starting to run back down the street towards the private school. He wasn't even sure how stable his legs were, but he didn't stop until he saw the bright flashing red and white lights. "oh no..." He breathed after pausing from his running for a moment.
"ummm, Sora?" Roxas whispered at Hayner not retaining enough conciseness to actually pick up on who was struggling to keep him from slipping into a coma. "just.... just... give me... five minutes..."He whispered up to the blonde. His pupils looked like they were shaking as they threatened to roll back into his head any second now. "... why is it.... so loud..?" he asked so the piercing sound of the ambulance grew closer and closer. Roxas weakly reached up and pressed his hands to his ears that were starting to ring at the sound. Tears started to form in his eyes from the pain of the sound on his splitting headache.

"W-Wait... Axel, wait!" Sora yelled after him, jumping out and chasing him. When Axel stopped, he ran up and held on to him so he didn't fall over. "Axel what are you talking abou--" "...to know you are okay...not to hate me..." His eyes widened and pupils dialated as it clicked. Why he didn't want to tell them yet...his babbling when Sora was holding him in the street. "R-Roxas...he's...he's the one you..." He choked back sobs and launched himself forward towards the loud siren. "Roxas!" he screamed as he watched them load him into the back of the vehicle quickly. "No! Wait! Roxas!" he continued as he reached the vehicle. He was held back by two of the doctors. "No! That's my brother! Let me through!" he cried, tears pouring down his face. "I'm sorry, but we can't confir--" "He's my twin! Let me see him! Roxas!" he screamed, knees collapsing as he broke down into sobs. The two doctors hurriedly jumped into their seats in the truck and drove off, leaving Sora to scramble after them. He just sat there and cried for a good five minutes before he felt arms around him and Demyx's voice. "Come on, Sor... Come on, let's get back to the car..," he said soothingly, lifting him into his arms to carry him back to Axel's car that was parked in the private school's parking lot. He laid him in the back seat and sat down with him, letting him cry into his lap. "Shh... Shh, we'll find him... We'll check every hospital in the area until we find him, Sor... It's okay... He's okay..." He ran his fingers through chocolate hair, looking up as he heard the slight roar of his own care pulling up. Riku had Axel in tow.
Hayner watched the scene with surprised eyes. Who was this brunette kid claiming to be...Roxas's twin brother? Though, those eyes... They had almost the exact same eyes it was eerie. And who was this tall blond? What the hell was going on? Were they, like, long-lost brothers? Then Hayner remembered a rumor about Roxas being adopted... Did...Did Roxas's parents tear them apart? Or...Or did Sora's? Who would tear twins apart like that..? He suddenly felt like a complete a*****e for treating Roxas like s**t when he didn't even know him...

Riku frowned deepened and they both ran off. "Dammit, if they wanted to go somewhere so bad, why didn't they just let me drive them." Riku grumbled to himself as he put the car in gear and drove after them. They both were surprisingly fast for people on foot, but Riku managed to catch up with them when Axel stopped running. He got out the car to try and get the two back in, but all he ended up accomplishing by this was to overhearing their conversation before watching Sora run off. Riku looked back at Demyx in Axel's car quickly. "You go get Sora, I've got Axel." He yelled over to him so they didn't lose track of where either of them were. After getting a nod from the blonde, Riku moved over to Axel. "T-This is all my fault.... N-now they both hate me... just like I thought they would...." Axel whispered collapsing down onto his knees and looking down unto the ground as more tears fell. Riku honestly didn't even know how to feel himself at the moment. It had been so long since he had seen Roxas... Out of the two, Sora was the one that Riku was close to... He didn't remember Roxas like Axel did. "It'll be okay, Axel.... Let's just go get you somewhere we can talk this all out and see if Roxas is okay. I'm sure it is nothing really major, private school call 911 over everything." Riku tried to convince Axel to make him feel better. Riku knew Axel, and Axel wasn't going to get into that car and let Riku drive him anywhere if he felt like this was all his fault. He would be more likely to do something rash and suicidal after all this mess. "...you think so...." Axel whispered as Riku moved over to the redhead helping him stand. "... yes, I think so." He whispered as Axel slowly let him back into the car. The silvernette really didn't think Axel was going to run a second time,but this time Riku put him into the backseat and put the child locks on, just in case. It would at least slow him down.
Riku then got back into the driver's seat and drove up to were Demyx was parked now. "What now?" Riku asked softly as he got out the car and walked up to Demyx and Sora. He was worried, but at least he got Axel to lay down in the backseat.

Sora's sobs slowed down when he heard Riku's voice. He sat up slowly and looked at him, eyes red and puffy. "L-Let's j-just go t-to m-m-my house..," he stuttered out as he attempted to calm himself down. He hugged Demyx tightly and kissed his cheek before getting up and staggering over to Demyx's car. He opened one of the back doors and slid in the seat, looking at Axel with big, watery eyes. His chin trembled as he maneuvered and laid down on top of Axel, curling up the little he could. He buried his face in the redhead's chest and began crying softly once again.
Demyx watched Sora sadly. "I guess we're just going to go to his house so everyone can calm down... While we're there we can wait and call a little later to see if Roxas is at the nearby hospitals. We've gotta find him, Riku...for their sakes..." He ran a hand through his hair and sighed, sliding into the front seat. "I'll keep following you. Go ahead and start driving them to Sora's house. We'll talk there." He smiled weakly at the silvernette and started the car, closing the driver's door.

Axel looked up as the car door opened seeing Sora as he climbed on top of him. "... Y-You don't h-hate me...?" He whispered questionably looking at the brunette now hugging him as the redhead embraced him back. He couldn't believe that he hadn't official lose Sora either, especially after not telling them outright that the person he hit was Roxas. More tears flowed through his eyes now, but he just couldn't control his tear ducts anymore. All this was too confusing and painful.
Riku's face had molded into a stone frown now, as he agreed and got back into the car. He did as they had decided and drove back to Sora's house. It really did look like a nice neighborhood. Sora's parents really pick a nice location for their family. "Okay, we're here, you want me to go knock and see if your parents are here Sora? Give them a heads up we are here or are they at work?" Riku asked softly looking into his rear view mirror and seeing Demyx pull up behind him in Axel's car. This morning was definitely not going the way it should have gone.

"I c-can't hate you..," Sora whispered to him. "Y-You did nothing w-wrong..." He sobbed again. "I love you, Big Brother. I just...I don't want to lose you, too... Not again..."
When they arrived at his house, Sora reluctantly got up off of Axel. "M-Mama should be home... Papa's at work," he mumbled before pulling Axel to his feet. He walked up to the front door, Axel in tow, and walked inside. "M-Mama, I'm home. A-And I brought some of my friends with me..," he called softly, bringing Axel to the couch and resting there with him as Riku and Demyx came inside as well. Demyx sat in an armchair so Riku could sit beside Sora and Axel. "Oh, Baby! Home so soon?" sang a happy voice from the kitchen. The tall blond pranced into the livingroom with an apron on, covered in flour. "Oh, Baby! What happened? You all look so rough!" she cried, immediately bending down to kiss Sora on the forehead. "Mama...these are my friends from the orphanage...we...have had a rough morning..." He frowned up at her, eyes full of sorrow. "This is Axel, and Demyx...they're like my big brothers. And this is Riku..." He smiled a little. "He's...really special to me." He looked over at him, a spark of adoration in his eyes. "Oh, honey! I know! You talk about them so much, I could pick them out just fine! But...where's Roxas, sweetie?" Sora's face turned solomn at the mention of him. "That's...why we've had a rough morning..."

"I love you, too, little bro." Axel whispered happily hugging Sora closer to his body. If Axel hadn't believe that Sora wasn't leaving, he believed it now. Sora was willing to forgive him for this, he was in for the long-haul, and it was a comforting feeling to know that Sora wasn't going anywhere for sure.
Riku, after pulling up to the house, helped everyone gather inside, before his eyes set onto one of the woman that adopted Sora. Riku gave a weak smile at the introduction to the woman before offering his hand to her. He wanted to shake hands with one of the people who personally brought his Sora back to him. "We were just about to walk through the morning to get the story straighten out if you would like to sit and listen to get caught up," Riku said softly to the woman before looking at Sora to get the okay from him. He was sure that the brunette wouldn't mind her in the room, but he still wanted to make sure anyway. Demyx felt himself breath now as he was finally able to relax. This morning was extremely stressful for everyone.

Rikku smiled at Riku as he reached out his hand for a handshake. Instead, she pulled him into a light hug. Sora smiled and nodded a little to Riku, running his fingers through Axel's hair gently. "Okay, but...Mama, can you call Papa and see if she can come home from work early?" he asked softly, looking up at Rikku. The blond smiled and pulled out her phone. "I sure can, sweetheart. Just give me one minute, okay?" She winked at him and dialed her phone, humming as she waited for an answer. "Hey, Baby! Our little sweetheart wants to know if you can come home a little early from your night shift. He's had a rough morning and wants us to hear his story. He found a few of his friends at school, too. Is there any way you can come home right now?" she asked in a pout-y voice. She then grinned. "Yay! I'll see you soon, Baby! Love you~" she sang happily and hung up. "Papa'll be home soon, okay, sweetie?" She patted Sora's head affectionately. "Would anyone like anything to drink or snack on?" she asked joyfully. "Can I have some lemonade, Mama?" Sora asked softly. "Ooh! Lemonade?" piped up Demyx, eyes brightening. Rikku giggled and nodded. "Two lemonades! Comin' right up! Anyone else? We have not and iced tea, milk, a few different juices, soymilk... Lots of stuff!"

Axel thought for a moment before just asking for tea. He liked it better hot, but it was okay cold. Riku respectfully asked for just water seeing as normally that was all he was allowed to drink at his own house, so he was just accustom to it. Riku's eyes moved to Sora with a soft smile forming back on his lips. He really couldn't believe that Sora was back with them. It was beyond surreal. Even after all this, he still fell like he was going to wake back up in his bed and Sora would be in the wind again.
