"Leave the Pieces"

Disclaimer: It is what it is. I disclaim.

This is my first piece of writing in three years, and I'm just getting back into the rhythm of writing again. Cursed be the writers' block. This is my first FFX fanfic. Be gentle, please.

Loosely inspired by "Leave the Pieces" by The Wreckers, but this is in no way a songfic.

Lulu's POV

Proper etiquette for damaging or destroying something belonging to another is to apologize and pick up the pieces of said broken item. In this case, my heart. I

suppose I can forgive you of this, but only because I am just as much at fault as you are. The same cycle of death and despair that brought us together has

ultimately torn us apart. It was too good to be true, we both knew, but we foolishly went along with it anyway, much further than either of us intended. I am now

naught-for-two in the love department. After you, I've realized that what myself and Chappu had was merely child's play in comparison. You've helped me mourn

and move on from him, but I'm afraid there is no man, mortal or otherwise, young or experienced enough to get me past you. I will have to heal of my own accord,

picking up the pieces that I let you leave behind, alone. I will be fine in due time, but for now, Sir Auron, I still love you.
