Rinoa brushed the hair out of her eyes. It was a beautiful day. No matter how beautiful the day was, nothing could cheer Rinoa up. She was about to do the worst thing she had ever done in her life. If only things were different. If only things could change.
Squall entered the courtyard from the side. Rinoa turned to face him, a smile on her lips. It was so painful to smile. Rinoa searched his eyes. Was it true? His eyes held nothing. How could she do this?
who made up the rules
we follow them like fools.
believe them to be true
don't care to think them through
Rinoa's lips were moving, but she could barely breathe. Were there even words coming out of her mouth? She felt faint. Her lips continued to move. Was she really doing this?
Squall's face clouded over. Had she really said it? He looked so sad. Rinoa couldn't breathe. She was going to hypervenilate. What in Hyne was she doing?
i'm sorry
so sorry
i'm sorry
it's like this
i'm sorry
so sorry
i'm sorry
we do this.
Tears pricked the edges of her vision. She shouldn't be doing this. It felt too wrong. And yet the words poured from her mouth. She couldn't stop.
A dangerous look had passed across Squall's face. She had never seen him look so upset. If only she could stop. If only she could bring the smile back to his face.
and it's ironic too
cuz what we tend to do
is act on what they say
and then it is that way.
i'm sorry
so sorry
i'm sorry
it's like this
i'm sorry
so sorry
i'm sorry
we do this.
Maybe she shouldn't believe it. But she couldn't help it. Everything Selphie had said made sense. So now Rinoa had to act. If only it didn't tear her heart apart.
Squall turned away, his body shaking with suppressed rage and tears. Rinoa put her hand on his arm. She didn't want him to hurt. She didn't want him to feel pain.
who are they
where are they
how can they possibly know all this.

Rinoa bit her lip. Could she really believe Selphie? Who was Cary, anyway? Was Squall really with her? Rinoa just wasn't sure anymore.
Squall jerked his arm away. Tears poured down Rinoa's face. It wasn't supposed to be like this. They were supposed to live happily ever after.
do you see what i see
why do we
live like this
is it because it's true
that ignorance is bliss?

If only he could understand how she felt. If he could only understand the torment this put her though. First, he hurt her with that stupid Cary. Now she had to break up with him. Could she bear any more pain?
Squall walked away stiffly. Rinoa watched him go, tears streaming down her face. So this was what it felt like to want to die.

She stared after him long after he disappeared from her sight. Did she really just do it? Did she really say those horrible words? Did she really throw away everything on a rumor?
But there had been pictures. Pictures of him and Cary. It had to have been true. And with that final thought, Rinoa turned her back on it all and walked away.
"I'm Sorry."
