Author's Note: I'm so, so sorry for the sudden change of the point of view. Roxas will have to stay speaking for, like, the rest of the story, so... yeah. Enjoy!

Chapter One: I Don't Know How To Love

My alarm clock beeped obnoxiously into my left ear as my eyes flickered open to the blinding sunlight. I lazily groaned and rose up to a sitting position. Rubbing my fatigue face, I yawned one last time before looking back at my clock radio.

Was it Monday already?

I dragged myself into the bathroom to take a shower. I made sure the water was cold enough to wake me up. I jumped a bit when the water hit my back, but I managed to get used to it. I then stumbled into my walk-in closet to dress up for the day.

I was dressed in my black dress pants, white-collar shirt, and a black suit coat. I tied a jet-black tie to my neck before checking my appearance in the mirror. I had black semi-circles under my eyes, and my hair was a spiky blond mess. I tried to flatten it with my palm, brushing my pale hands into them; it stayed down for a second before popping straight up again. With the same hand, I smacked my forehead and sighed as I made my way back into my bedroom.

I fiddled with my thumbs as I checked my clock radio for the time. I still had forty minutes before work starts. I put on my Rolex watch and grabbed my phone, wallet, and keys before heading out my front door. I rode the elevator down to the lobby and walked out of the building to a nearby Starbucks. Grabbing a Green Tea Latte and a Granola Bar, I headed back to the building's parking lot.

My white BMW was parked in its usual parking lot, and I unlocked the car with a click. I turned on the radio and drove out of the building. Checking the time, I realised that I still had about thirty minutes before work starts. I was going to be on time today, I was sure of it.

I was in the car, staring aimlessly into the moving streets for about twenty minutes until I finally reached the Third District, where our company's headquarter was. My best friend Axel and I had been working to a company called TwiCorp for about five years, and we worked there as one of the best executives. Axel's other best friend, Saix, was one of the co-founders of the company, and now he's basically the boss's slave.

Anyway, I parked my car in my reserved parking space, and I noticed that almost everyone was here by now. I grabbed my briefcase and sleepily trudged towards the elevator.

A few minutes later, I stepped out of the elevator and into a hallway with shiny ivory-coloured walls and black marble floors. I politely greeted the secretary before walking down the hallways.

I checked my time - it was eight-fifty. Strange, I should have been hearing laughs and mutters and gossips from Larxene, Demyx, and Zexion by now. Instead, the office seemed awfully quiet today. The executive offices were decorated with pearly white marble walls which perfectly deflects sounds.

I peeked through different hallways before finally walking into my office. The small room where I reside everyday was the only room on that floor with no windows, so I had to turn on the lights nine-to-five. I closed the glass door behind me and walked further into my office and towards the light switch. Turning on the lights, a black-haired woman jumped out of no where and I jumped three feet into the air.

"Oh my gosh, Xion!" I yelled. "Why were you sitting in the pitch black corner?! Of my room, by the way!" I huffed out a few small breaths before calming down. I placed my briefcase on top of my desk, pulled out my laptop, and plopped down onto my soft leather chair while my co-worker let out a small giggle before sitting on one of the chairs across the desk.

"I didn't know you were going to come today," she explained. "I thought you said you were, what, visiting your parents?" She chuckled and I glared at her.
