The next day Axel and I walked onto the school property together, the gang was waiting and I could feel my heart racing, Axel grasped my hand and kissed it gently, "You can do it," he whispered, I nodded and stepped forward where I saw Tamesis yelling at Naminé, her eyes were on the ground beneath her as a single tear slipped from her cheek and raced to meet the ground.
"That dress is too damn short!" he screamed at her as she shook visibly. Larxene moved forward with Xion in her shadow, but she quickly overcame her as Tamesis raised his hand to slap her.
"Tamesis!" I barked, he looked up at me, his hand frozen in the air as Larxene bitch slapped him. He seemed shocked as she pulled Naminé away from him, Xion glared at him, she wore a low cut black and white tank top and a pair of skinny jeans with white boots laced up to her knees.
"If you ever touch her again, I'll personally put you in the hospital," she threatened him darkly before turning and walking over to Naminé who was arguing with them, saying she deserved to get yelled at because she knew the outfit was going to bother him but wore it anyways.
I walked forward, Tamesis stared at me as Axel and the rest of the gang formed into a half circle behind me, I felt stronger than I ever had before. "Tamesis, we're all aware of what the hell you've been doing to Naminé, and we're stopping it now," I said bluntly.
He walked towards me, I heard Axel move a little behind me, uncomfortable by the fact that Tamesis was now inches from my face as he glowered down at me, "You listen to me you pathetic little fairy," he spat, his voice wreaked of spicy tacos and booze from the night before. "I'm not gonna deal with you interfering with these things anymore."
His hand struck me hard, my hand clenched into tight fists as I heard Axel growl furiously behind me, I smiled a little, "Well guess what, I don't care if you want me interfering or not, because I am, and I'm done watching people hurt because of you," I spat back. "Plus, calling me a fairy does nothing to me, remember, you dated this little fairy."
"No, I used, this little fairy," he smiled, his eyes glittering malevolently. "Dating is when you actually give a damn, I just wanted you there because I needed a good fuck, you got clingy, I decided to use it to my advantage," he grinned.
"You were still with me, and the entire gang is aware of you did to me, they're aware that I didn't cause anyone to kill themselves, and they're aware that you've been abusing Naminé, I'm done letting her take a beating from you because she feels that she deserves it, she's a human being, and she's not your god damn punching bag!" I yelled at him, my fist colliding hard with the side of his face.
I felt my body building stronger as I watched him, he looked at me viciously, "No stop it Demyx! I deserved it!" Naminé shrieked as Larxene held her back easily.
Naminé briefly caught me off guard, because I felt the fingers grasp around my throat once more before he began to beat his fist against my face repetitively.
But then it stopped, I looked up through burning eyes and saw Tamesis on the ground, Axel had him pinned with his knees and was beating the shit out of him. "Axel, no," I said walking over to him, I touched his shoulder gently, he looked up at me, his eyes were glittering protectively as I felt blood drip down my face from the cut in my forehead, "Let me finish first, please," I whispered. He nodded once before slamming his fist against Tamesis' face once more before pushing himself up and stepping back behind me.
Tamesis stood up and wiped the blood from his face and glared at Axel venomously, "Tamesis," I said softly, he looked at me as I stared down at the ground, my fists shaking at my sides, "I'm done with this, you're not hurting anymore people at this school, ever again, and I plan to make sure of that," I whispered before looking up again, I could see the rage in his eyes again as I heard Naminé crying hysterically behind us.
"Please just stop!" she sobbed.
"Naminé, you need to realize, that what he's been doing to you, you don't deserve," I said loudly, "He's done the same thing to me before, he only wants you there because he feels empowered when you pretty much bow down and do as he says, he only wants you there so he has something the control, I'm sorry Naminé, he doesn't love you," I said bluntly.
"You're lying!" she shrieked, "He said you hurt him more than anyone else and that I shouldn't trust you!"
"Then where did I get my scars Naminé, what the hell happened to me to make me this weak?" I asked.
"He said your father abuses you," she replied.
I felt the laughter bubble from my lips as Tamesis glared form me to Naminé and back again.
"Naminé, my mother is a lesbian," I laughed, "I don't technically have a father," I said looking back at her.
She opened her mouth to speak, but it seemed Tamesis had enough, "Naminé, just shut up!" he shouted, his voice echoed in the crowded court yard. The students had gathered around to watch this play out, "If you think you talking is helping, well guess again, it's not! Just try and do something useful and shut the fuck up you pathetic, whiny, little whore!"
"Oh that's it!" I heard Xion say I looked back at her as she walked forward, I saw Larxene move a little, but then she stood, rooted to the spot, still clutching Naminé's white dress to keep her in place.
Xion walked past me and punched Tamesis square in the nose, and I heard the sickening crunch of it break, I watched as she walked back towards me, but Tamesis had other things in mind. He grabbed a chunk of her hair and yanked her back towards him, she let out a small shriek of pain.
"Let her go!" Larxene and Naminé yelled at the same time, one was tearful, the other was enraged.
I looked back at Larxene as she started forward, pushing Naminé behind her as she did.
"If you come near us, I'll make sure to hurt her," Tamesis snapped, but Larxene didn't stop, she went right up to his face and slammed her fist into his face, I felt slightly paralyzed as I watched, Xion was released and she quickly ran from him, I walked over quickly and pulled Larxene away, where she continued to beat his face in.
"Larxene, let me handle this," I said sharply, she looked at me as my eyes flashed bitterly.
"Fine, but if you don't knock his ass out, I will," she snapped.
"Fair enough," I replied, she walked back toward Xion as Naminé attempted to run to Tamesis' side, but I grabbed her forearm and pulled her closer to me, "Naminé, please trust me on this," I plead pathetically, I stared into her tearful eyes.
"You don't get it, I need him," she whispered through her tears.
I felt my grip tighten as I closed my eyes, attempting to calm myself, "Naminé, no you don't, you don't need someone to make you whole, he tells you this so you'll rely and depend on his, I don't wanna see you die," I whispered hoarsely, I heard her gasp and my eyes snapped open, "He will try to kill you, he's tried to kill me, please don't make me clean up your corpse," I whispered softly.
"He told me he loved me though," she whispered as I saw her legs beginning to shake.
"He told me that as well, I'm sorry Naminé, but he lied," I whispered gently.
Her knees collapsed beneath her and I caught her quickly as she broke into a waterfall of tears, Larxene walked over and took her from me, she and Xion slowly consoled this now broken shell.
I looked at Tamesis, my held high despite the aching in my face and the blood that was dripping to the ground beneath me. "It's over Tamesis, you don't win," I said turning away and walking over to Axel.
"I've won against one person," he said, I looked back at him as his fist collided with the side of my face.
I felt him grab my shirt hoist me off the ground, but then I fell back down, I looked up to see Axel standing in front of me, Tamesis was a few feet away as the rest of the gang moved towards him.
Axel knelt down and helped me sit up, I rubbed the side of my face and sighed, "My turn," I heard Larxene say as she let out a shrill laugh, I looked over at her as her eyes twinkled viciously.
I looked up at Axel and he kissed my forehead gently, "Are you alright," he asked, I nodded once before hearing the voice of the principle as Larxene began to pound Tamesis' face in and Naminé sobbed uncontrollably into Xion's arms.
I looked down and bit my lip, "Let het punishment begin," I whispered.
The school police began to run in towards us, stopping the battle between Larxene and Tamesis.
I hugged Axel tightly around the middle and he smiled as he draped his arms around my shoulders and rested his chin on top of my head. I rested my head on his chest and listened to his heart beating, I smiled and he looked down at me. "Please don't let your tears fall," he whispered to me gently, I smiled and gently kissed his heart through his chest and he smiled.
"This will be the last day, that they ever fall for him," I whispered as a gentle tear slid down my face, he smiled.
"No, your tears don't fall for him, they fall, because they're free."
"We're free."
"Looks like, we're somebodies," he whispered chuckling softly.
