Cloud's Prologue:
Blood coated his hands and his white suit as he gripped her hands in his. He couldn't go through this again. He had already lost one person he couldn't lose another. Not like this. Her pale pink dress was now covered in blood, her brown hair sticking her face and neck as she smiled at him through blurry green eyes.
"Hold on…hold on…they'll help you." Cloud whispered as he squeezed her hand and he stared down at her, giving her a weak smile. The woman stared up at him as the doctors wheeled her bed down the hall, her hand sliding from his.
"Hold on!" Cloud shouted as his friends held him back from going to see her.
He watched the doors close and he felt Tifa's grip on his arms and he stared down at her through panicked filled blue eyes and he dropped his head on her shoulder.
He waited in the waiting room and he gripped the paper cup in his hand, the blood now a faint red on his hands and on his shirt. Looking up at the sound of footsteps Cloud rose and he stared at the doctor. Tifa and Reno stood with him and placed their hands on his shoulders.
"I'm sorry but we tried to everything to save her. But there was nothing we could do. She's gone. I'm sorry." The paper cup was crushed in Cloud's hand as he screamed. She was dead! The woman he loved was dead! Dead! Dead! Hot tears rolled down his face and he felt Tifa wrap her arms around his body as he cried. Reno paced back and forth and he ran his hand over his face as his red hair fell over his shoulders.
The funeral was hard for him. Seeing her laying there in that casket. She wasn't sleeping like he heard one child say. She was dead and it was his fault. Holding a red rose in his gloved hand Cloud placed it on her casket as he heard the humming of the cars leave.
He only had one idea in mind. He was going to keep her dream going. Turning to his friends he watched them red eyes.
"We're going to Midgar."
