Chapter 17: Not Again...
Max got back to her room again and decided to relax for a bit. She lied down flat onto the bed and faced the ceiling. She frowned and sighed. "I feel so left out..." She trailed off and her eyes widened.
'What if, me and Roxas move away?'
"Seems like the four of us are moving away ever since she joined the Organisation." Max whispered and a tear fell down her cheek. "I feel like, I've been replaced." She covered her face and shook her head.
"Max?" She heard Roxas' glorious voice and uncovered her face. He sat down next to her with a concerned look on his face. "Are you okay?" He asked as he wiped a tear away. She pulled herself and sat up.
"Yeah." Roxas frowned at this.
"I know when you're lying Max." He said and she gasped when she saw something behind closed eyes.
"Everything is alright..." She lied and smiled trying to hide the truth. He shook his head at this; he knew that she was lying.
"I know you're lying to me. So, please tell me the truth. Is everything okay?"
It was as if she was frozen and she gulped. "Max?" Roxas voice snapped her out of daze and she stared into Roxas' eyes. Suddenly, Max hugged him very tightly. Roxas didn't know what was wrong with his best friend, but nonetheless he returned the hug.
"Roxas?"
"Hm?" Her grip on him tightened.
"Will you always be with me?" She asked and he smiled at this.
"Of course I will, I promise." He kissed her forehead and she blushed at how soft his lips were. She closed her eyes and Roxas heart soft breathing. He pulled away slightly but kept his arms around her. He looked down at her to see her sleeping. The golden haired smiled at this.

Later...
Max opened her emerald green eyes and saw the white ceiling. "Was it a dream?" She asked and found a blanket on her. She smiled and blushed at this. "No it wasn't." She mumbled and got out of the bed.
She walked down the stairs with a smile. 'Now, it's time to spend some quality time with Roxy!' Max giggled and got to the lounge. Then she heard the sound of loud laughing.
The red haired nobody approached the couch and saw her best friend Roxas. He looked extremely happy but when she saw the second nobody talking her eyes widened; Xion. She frowned at this, Roxas was very happy with Xion. The green eyed girl took a step back and gripped onto her hair.
"But I want a kiss on the forehead!" He and her eyebrow twitched.
"Why don't you ask K_ to kiss you on the forehead?" She asked with jealousy hidden in her voice.
"But she's not here!" M_ gasped at this and turned to him with a disappointed face.
"I see that I'm being used. I bet you'd prefer K_ here instead of me." She crossed her arms and he shook his head.
Max started screaming and tears fell down her cheeks. Axel heard his sister and dashed to the lounge. Roxas and Xion jumped from their seats and turned to the screaming nobody. The elder brother ran to his sister, who stepped back and fell.
Axel got there just in time to catch her. He kneeled to the ground with his little sister in his arms. "Sis, sis! Are you okay?" He shook her by the shoulders but she didn't respond. Roxas and Xion surrounded her and the golden haired nobody gulped.
'No, not again! She can't...' He thought just about that time, Jonathan came and gasped at what he saw.
"Maximum, wake up! It's no time to sleep." Axel joked but she didn't wake up. The pyro's smile dropped and he started to shake her again.
"Maximum, seriously wake up! This isn't a joke, wake up!" Jonathan shouted, coming to her side but she didn't budge.
"I think she's gone into a coma again." Xion stated and Axel's green eyes widened.
"COMA?!" He yelled.
"I think she needs rest right now." Saïx mumbled from the door.

An hour later...
Axel kissed her forehead and placed his hand onto her cheek. "So, she fell into a coma when I was gone as well." He asked seriously.
"Yes." Saïx answered.
"But, how?" Axel asked.
"Out of nowhere she asked what sacrifice was and if it was good or bad. I told her that it was bad if someone sacrifices another person's life for their own will. But it was good if someone sacrificed their life for another's safety that is good. Then she went quiet and fell into a coma." The red haired pyro went quiet and sighed.
"That's a lot to take in. But what I don't understand is why she went into a coma." Axel wondered.
"The superior said sacrifice may have a connection to her existence. She wasn't born with any memories of her past when she was a person, so I think sacrifice has something to do with her memory." Saïx said and Axel's eyebrows furrowed together.
"So that might be why she goes into a coma. I think when she saw Xion and Roxas together; she might have remembered something, but what?"
"We may never know." Was the last thing Saïx said before he left. Axel stared at his little sister's sleeping face, which looked so peaceful.
"Max, please wake up soon." He mumbled as a tear fell onto her cheek.
Throughout the days, Roxas hasn't been smiling, sleeping or eating well. He was like a puppet. It was as if all his happiness had disappeared. He wasn't even able to fight properly, that was the worst. Max kept on sleeping and it was as if the golden haired nobody couldn't take it anymore. He sat on the chair next to the sleeping girl with his knees against his chest.
Xion appeared in Max and Roxas' room and frowned when she saw her friend. He looked really sad and wanted him to return to his original happy self. "Roxas..." She mumbled and walked up to the said boy.
"You shouldn't be sad." She said with a smile and he looked up at her with a frown. The dark haired nobody looked at her. "She'll wake up soon. I know it."
"I hope she does." He said quietly and Xion grabbed his arm.
"Come on, we can talk about it over sea salt ice cream." She said and they walked into a portal. Ever since then, Roxas felt a bit better whenever he had ice cream with Xion. This was a way that Roxas took things off his mind.

5 days later...
The redhead opened her eyes to see the white ceiling again. She sat upright and placed a hand onto her forehead. 'My head feels so heavy, but...did I go into a coma again?' She thought. 'All I remember is seeing Roxas and Xion. Then the rest is a blur.' The red haired nobody sighed stressfully. 'What's going on with me?'
She stood up and stretched. 'Roxas...I want to know where Roxas is.' The red haired nobody raised her hand and opened a Corridor of Darkness. 'I have a gut feeling that he's at the Clock Tower.' She got to the bottom of the Clock Tower and cursed under her breath. She ran up the stairs and when she got to the top of the stairs, she froze.
Max stared at the sight before her; Xion and Roxas were sitting there together, laughing together, smiling together and eating sea salt ice cream together. 'He'd rather be with her, instead of worrying about me in a coma.'
Roxas and Xion turned around and their blue eyes widened with surprise that she was awake. Max on the other hand stared at them with wide eyes. She was still panting for oxygen. Jonathan appeared.
"Hey, guys! Maximum, I'm glad you're okay!" He smiled, almost grinning.
Then suddenly, she felt this strange feeling...
No, M_! I'd prefer you to be here." The red haired girl rolled her eyes at this with a look crying, 'as if!'
"You know what; I know you're lying just to make me feel good. You know I don't like dishonest people!"
"No! It's the truth! The truth is, out of all my years I meet you, I always thought..." He stopped and blushed, "Um, I always thought... you were always fun to hang out with! Yeah..."
"Bull crap! You barely even noticed me whenever we were back on the islands! It was always K_ this and K_ that! All you and R_ talk is K_!"
Her face turned sour as she grinded her teeth.
"Maximum?" Jon asked.
"Max, are you okay?!" Roxas asked.
The green eyed teen looked at her hand and tried to summon her Keyblade but couldn't. "I can't fight."
She closed her eyes and fell to the side. Everyone's eyes widened. "MAXIMUM!" They shouted in unison.
"NO!" Roxas was about to jump but Xion and Jonathan stopped him. The golden haired made a run for and ran as quickly as he could down the stairs with no. XV and XVI following him. He was panting and his breathing came out short. What if he didn't reach there on time?
