The rain poured on her body. Soaking every inch of her,the rain was freezing,bruising and brutal,but she didn't care.
She hugged her arms to her,tears streaming down her face,a couple drops of the salty depression slipped between her lips.
"happy birthday to me,happy birthday to me..."She sung quietly,the words drowned out by the pounding of the rain. She began choking on her tears as they came as hard as the rain. It was her 19th birthday and no one had given her so much as a side-ward glance. Everyone was to busy praising and congratulating Yuna...as she announced her engagement to Tidus.
Tidus..."heh"Rikku chuckled dryly and soundlessly as she thought of him. He had trusted her with all of his secrets,all of his dark,dark secrets because he had no one else to tell and because she told him she was 'strong' enough to handle them. She wasn't strong. She wasn't brave,and lately she wasn't even happy. She was a scared little girl,standing in the rain,on her birthday because no one else cared.
Thunder crashed and she didn't even flinch. She now welcomed Lightning,it was there one second,lighting up the sky,and gone as quickly as it had come,but it left a rumble so loud,it wasn't easily forgotten.
The ocean before her was black and cold. The waves crashed upon the shore,tossing the sand as it pulled back in. She let her arms fall limp to her side and the rain ran down,falling from her finger tips and down her legs,but she didn't even notice as the cold sorrow soaked her boots. Her blond hair clung to her face,dark golden from being soaked. Her eyes were no longer the light,friendly green but and empty emerald. She was so pale,she had really stopped eating and she barley got any sleep. Small,yet dark circles rung around her eyes,but no one looked at her long enough to notice she was sick,maybe not physically,yet,but mentally she was dieing,killing herself slowly. Gone was the cheerful,hyper,young Al Bhed and in her place was a sulking,dieing,sick,weak,depressed,quiet little girl. She didn't even putting her hair up anymore,it fell in her face all the time,like a curtain,shielding her from the ignorance of the world,but not even that protected her heart.
She felt like she was standing in a crowded room,screaming at the top of her lungs,but no one even acknowledged her existence. By the way people were acting toward her she probably could,She wanted to when Yuna announced she was going to be wed,everyone was so happy celebrating no one noticed the 'innocent' x-summoner give a side-ways smile to the dark haired man a few chairs away from her,but Rikku noticed. Rikku knew that Yuna was not innocent,or loyal for the matter. Tidus would bend over back-wards all the time for Yuna,and she would sleep with another man. Secretly of course,but still cheating on him nonetheless. Did Tidus know? Of course not,and it killed Rikku. He was so nice,so sweet,so understanding...yet so torn up inside. He told Rikku things that she would have never guessed he went through. Things that haunted her in her sleep,things that drove her depression...all because she wanted to win him over,but all he could see was Yuna.
Very slowly Rikku took steps up to the crashing waves. She marked were it would crash,and while the wave withdrew she stood there,arms opened wide,ready for the large black wall that had formed in front of her. She tilted her head up and closed her eyes,and waited for impact.
It crashed on her like a warm blanket,it was so warm compared to the ice rain that had be marring her skin for the past hour and a half. As the wave withdrew,she put her arms back to her sides and walked back up to the dock,walking slowly home,feeling the rain one last time as she walked to the large house that Cid,Yuna,Tidus,Brother and Rikku were staying at.
~(*)~
When she walked in,the warm air hit her like a blast,making her take a step back in surprise. She felt her numb fingers for the first time in almost a half an hour. Yuna was bustling around,and stopped when she saw the bone-soaked girl in front of her.
"Rikku!" She called,"today is a very important day"
Rikku couldn't believe her ears,'they remembered 'she thought,a smile flashed on her face,but left just as quickly when Yuna added,"I make my address today,Why are you soaked get dry now or you will have to walk to the stadium!Rikku,that's just like you,trying to make me wait..."Yuna continued to scold her cousin but Rikku had blocked her out at 'my address today',Rikku blocked Yuna out alot,actually,she blocked everyone out. If they were going to block her,she would block them,really the only time she got recognition was when Yuna was scolding her or when Tidus..."...You got MUD ON THE FLOOR!!"Yuna cried,slapping her hands to her cheek."Rikku,you know for a FACT that after my address some VERY important people are going to be here."Rikku humored her cousin and looked at the tracks she made,and indeed,sand,dirt and water caked the floor were she had walked across.
"You will clean that up!People will think we live in a pig stye!"Rikku rolled her eyes,she was still dripping water over the floor,soaking the carpet about a foot out all ways,making a large,wet circle.
"Do you even listen to me? Your such a moron,to stupid for your own good,obviously couldn't tell you were being soaked from the rain to come in!I can't even believe were related!"She stomped her foot and marched up the stairs to get ready for her address. The words sunk into Rikku,locking themselves in the box were she kept all of the verbal abuse from Yuna,which was getting pretty full.
Tidus had just come down the stairs,"Hey Rikku,wow,you look soaked,what happened?"He asked,not a hint of concern in his voice,only happiness...it was the only emotion he showed now that him and Yuna were engaged.
Rikku didn't look at him,instead she slopped by him,her boots shaking the china on the fireplace frame as she walked,she wanted to let Yuna know she didn't give a damn about her and her 'important people' and she sure as hell wouldn't clean up the carpet.
Instead the soaked albhed marched up the stairs,making large,sandy,wet,muddy footprints. She went into her room and slammed the door shut. She kicked off her boots at the door so it wouldn't get her carpet dirty and she walked over to the large,gold trimmed mirror at her wet self. She chuckled wryly at her appearance,her eyeliner had run,her hair had become dark and dirty with sand and bits of debree blown by the wind. Her skin was pale and cold bumps ran from her toes to her shoulders.
