Title- Just To Get High
Descript- Kingdom Hearts. AU. Axel's POV. Based on the Nickelback song- "Just To Get High"(look it up on YT or something if you wanna listen. .o.)
Genre- Friendship/Angst
Summary- Axel knew what was going on; Roxas was using drugs. He didn't want to believe it though, so he tried to help him. But Roxas just kept pushing him away...

THIS FIC IS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE (AU), WHICH MEANS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL GAME PLOT. Characters are the same, along with a few locations. But other than that, nothin.

I also own nothing. Not the characters, not the locations, and not drugs.

I'm not sure if i'll ever finish this. Even if i do, it probably won't have a happy ending so people will be trying to kill me. xD

+iTriedToHelpHim+

I can’t believe it. No, more like I don’t want to believe it. The evidence is sitting right here in front of me, but I just can’t bring myself to believe it.

My best friend is a drug addict.

Why, Roxas?

I looked up from the piece of dirt I was concentrating on and into Roxas’ dark blue eyes. They were pleading for sympathy, comfort, and forgiveness. Yeah, like I was going to give him any of that.

I’m sure you’re wondering, how did this all begin? Well, it all started three months ago when Roxas ran into those stupid kids in Twilight Town on a school field trip. What were their names? Hayner… Pence… Olette? Whatever, it doesn’t really matter. What really matters is that he started talking to them and agreed to hang out with them one day. And that is when it all started.

The changes were hardly noticeable at first. Roxas didn’t spend as much time with us, his local friends, as he usually did. We all just figured he had a girlfriend or something, but after a while we started to worry. His grades in school had started to slip, and he was always asking to borrow money and never paid it back. He ran off to hang out with his “friends” more and more often, and eventually he strayed away from our friendship.

I lost my best friend.

And here he is now, thinking that I’m just going to forgive him? Act like nothing has happened? Well, have I got news for you, ex-pal: Axel doesn’t roll that way!

“Look, Axel, I’m truly sorry…” Roxas started. He sounded… ashamed? Underneath it though, I could tell he wanted something. Whatever it was, I wasn’t gonna give in.

“Yeah yeah. I’m sure you will be sorry when you OD and die!” I clenched my hands together in fists. This could get ugly.

“What? You think this is my fault?!”

“You’re the one who did the stupid drugs in the first place, so it is your fault!”

Roxas sighed. “Look, Axel… I really am sorry. I don’t know why I did it in the first place, I was stupid. We still friends?”

The question itself caught me off-guard. I had been preparing my response for a while now, but now it seemed a little harsh to tell him to f*** off and let him live his messed up life by himself. Honestly, I still wanted to be his friend, so I figured a second chance wouldn’t hurt too much. “Yeah, Roxas… We’re still friends.” I said finally.

“Awesome! Now that that’s over with, can I borrow…”

I stopped him mid-sentence with an upturned hand. “Roxas… I’m here for you and everything, but I’m not giving you any money for drugs. You just said you were stupid for doing them, so why are you asking?”

“I’m stupid, that’s why! You really don’t expect me to stop, do you? Honestly, I can’t stop.” Jeez, does he realize how pathetic he sounds?

“Honestly, I do expect you to stop. They have programs for people like you, you know.” I crossed my arms and looked at him.

“And if I don’t want to stop?”

“Well, then I don’t want to be your friend anymore.”

Roxas’ eyes widened as he realized I was telling the truth. His face hardened into a glare as he brought up a fist. “Y-you don’t get it. No one gets it. You think I wanted this to happen? You think I want to be a drug addict? You think I haven’t tried to stop before? It’s hard, and the drugs are just too good…” He stopped abruptly and shot his fist towards my face. Luckily, I backed away in time.

Reacting on instincts, my fist came around and hit him right on the nose. Roxas staggered backwards and stared blankly as red blood began to drip on the floor. After the shock had ended, he began to wipe the blood off his nose with his shirt sleeve.

I don’t know why, but I actually felt sorry for him. I wanted to help, but I didn’t know how. I forced myself to relax. “Listen to yourself, Roxas. Think about all the people you’re hurting. Your parents, friends—the real ones, and everyone else around you…”

He turned around stiffly. I could hear him smirk. “I stopped caring about them a long time ago.”

And then he was gone.

I want to punch this Roxas in the face. 8DDD

So. Dramatic.
And since this is a song-fic... That means i have go with the lyrics...
Dayummmm... this is gonna be one overly-dramatic fic. xD

Angst is fun to write.
Druggies are hard to write for. (Insanity itself is hard to write.)
... I have a feeling this fic is gonna be a joy to write. :'D

Oh btw, i wrote this today when i should have been studying for exams... Which i should probably be doing right now... >>

Oh, and in case you guys don't know, drug-addict Roxas is a popular theme in fan-fics right now... And this was just begging to be written 'cause i'm obsessed with the song. 8D

And no, this will not be AkuRoku. Just thought i'd make that clear.

Crit is welcome. I probably won't listen though. xP
