I don't own anything so for all of you money hunting idiots out there, don't come to me!
************************************************************************
Quistis Trepe was waiting on the balcony of Balamb garden watching the stars glitter in the sky above. She smiled and closed her eyes savoring the moment of pure tranquility. She let out a sigh and wrapped her arms around herself. Behind her she heard the sounds of heavy footsteps, her smile grew wider knowing who was behind her.
" Your late." Quistis whipped her body around and smiled brilliantly at her boyfriend, Seifer Almasy.
" I had things to do." Seifer grinned at Quistis and outstretched his arms. Quistis walked over to Seifer and allowed his arms to envelope her. The two stood there in silence and enjoyed the presence of each other.
So this is who I am,
And this is all I know,
And I must choose to live,
For all that I can give,
The spark that makes the power grow
Unknowingly to Quistis, Seifer's eyes reflected sadness. He smiled fondly at the top of her head and gently stroked her hair. He held her tight against him as if he was afraid to let her go. Quistis opened her eyes, finally realizing that Seifer was acting oddly. She gently pulled away so she could see his handsome face. It was then that she saw his expression.
" Is something wrong Seifer?" Quistis asked. Seifer smiled at her and touched her cheek lovingly.
" I have to tell you something." Seifer whispered softly. Quistis nodded her head and pulled away further but still holding onto his hand.
" Quisty, you know I have a dream..." Seifer started.
" Yes, I know, of becoming the greatest fighter in Balamb." Quistis smiled warmly. Seifer chuckled and tucked a loose strand of golden hair behind her ear.
" You know me so well."
" Oh please, you've only mentioned it about a hundred times." Quistis joked.
" Then you know how important it is to me for it to come true."
" Yes, and I'll help you. You'll be the best fighter yet." Quistis winked. Silence followed. Seifer seemed to be staring off into space with a heavy look on his face. Finally he took a deep breath and came back into reality.
" Quistis, I have to leave you."
And I will stand for my dream if I can,
Symbol of my faith in who I am,
But you are my only,
And I must follow on the road that lies ahead,
And I won't let my heart control my head,
Quistis stared at Seifer disbelievingly. At first she had thought that she had misheard Seifer but then saw his expression and knew that she didn't make a mistake. He was leaving her. Her love, her life, was dumping her!
" This has to be a sick joke." Quistis said softly.
" It's not a joke Quistis, you know I have to do this. And I can't ever accomplish my dream if your with me."
" Why?! Why can't I be there with you when your dreams come true?! Am I so awful that I have to be labeled a goddamn obstacle in your way to your fucking dream!" Quistis's eyes were slowly filling with unshed tears.
" No! It's not that it's just that...I can't even think when I'm around you! How am I supposed to do the things I have to do when all can think about is you!" Seifer exploded.
" And what's so wrong about thinking about me? Am I that repulsive?" Quistis sneered.
" I love you! Okay! Are you happy? I went ahead and fell in love with you Quistis Trepe." Quistis gasped and stared at Seifer. Never in their relationship had Seifer ever told her that he loved her. She never demanded to hear it. But if he loves her how can he let her go?
But you are my only
And we don't say goodbye,
And I know what I've got to be
" Quistis, I'm not leaving your forever, I just need some time to think things through, get things cleared up. You know I have to do this, I can't forgive myself if I don't."
" But you can forgive yourself for breaking the heart of the one you love, is that it?" Quistis said bitterly.
" Please understand, Quistis."
Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me inside
Quistis's gleaming blue eyes met the dark greens of Seifer's. She took a long shaky breath and wrapped her arms around herself once more, now feeling cold and lonely. Seifer took a step towards Quistis but she stepped away impaling him with a look that could kill.
" This isn't goodbye." Seifer said. Quistis turned away from Seifer, and he sighed. "I'll always think about you. I love you." with that Seifer walked away leaving a very distraught Quistis gripping the railing of the balcony tightly. Once she couldn't hear the foot steps of the one who held her heart, she crumpled to the floor and let the tears fall.
Fulfill your destiny,
Is there within the child,
My storm will never end,
My fate is on the wind,
The king of hearts, the joker's wild,
But we don't say goodbye,
I'll make them all remember me
Seifer watched from the bottom of Balamb Garden and saw Quistis crumple to the floor. It broke his heart to see her like this.
" Please understand, Quisty. I'll come back for you. I promise." Seifer said before disappearing into the darkness.
Cos I have found a dream that must come true,
Every ounce of me must see it though,
But you are my only
I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play,
Hand over my heart I'll find my way,
I will make them give to me
The next morning, Quistis walked into the cafeteria with a blank look on her face. She silently got her coffee walked over to the seats. She briefly glanced at the table where she and Seifer used to sit at. Them laughing together, Seifer and his relentless teasing, the first kiss they shared together. All of those memories came flooding back into her head. She felt the tears stinging her eyes once more but she refused to let them fall. She squared her shoulders and walked over to her friends. She plastered a fake smile and sat down next to Zell who was currently stuffing his face with hotdogs.
" Hey Quistis! Where's Seifer?" Selphie asked cheerfully.
" I wouldn't know, we broke up last night." Quistis replied coldly.
" Oh Quisty, I so sorry!" Selphie apologized.
" It's alright, Selph, I'm over it." Quistis smiled once more and drank her coffee. This isn't goodbye Seifer, I'll see you again someday. Quistis thought.
Immortality
There is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me, inside
And we don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
With all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don't say, goodbye
A/N: Okay I know that this story is a bit on the sad side, but hey, you got to admit that the song fits Seifer perfectly. But don't worry I'm sure you'll love part II. ^_^!...Oh and please, REVIEW! ~~~ notice the capitalization.
