Chapter 1

Quistis Reflects

Quistis sat with her knees scrunched up to her body, and arms wrapped tightly around her legs. Sitting like that always made Quistis feel so vulnerable, like a little girl who had got lost, and was crying. Quistis didn't care. Right now, she did feel vulnerable, and she hated it. She was very aware of her own furiously beating heart. She could still taste his lips upon hers.

She was sat outside, and the sun was setting, casting rays of light upon Quistis' crumpled form.

She rested her head upon her knees in frustration. She hated feeling like this. Not when he was out there. She missed him so much. Had he really just broken her heart and left her forever? She tried to blink away her tears, but she couldn't stop crying.

Quistis heard someone approaching. She raised her eyes, which were smeared with her mascara and red from crying. She heard someone sit next to her, and she turned her face to look, half expecting the one who had broken her heart.

"Quistis?"

It was Squall. Quistis looked into his eyes. They looked full of concern, an emotion he would never have shown before Rinoa came along.

"I'm fine, Squall," Quistis said, wiping her eyes on her sleeve "it's just…"

"Seifer" Squall finished her sentence

Quistis managed to nod once, before she started to cry again, sobs shaking her body. She had never, ever cried like this before. She buried her head in her knees again and felt Squall place a hand on her shoulder.

"I'll be fine, honest, I just need some time to myself" Quistis turned to look at Squall. She saw him nod, remove his hand, and then he was gone. Quistis was surprised about how fast he went, but then Squall obviously wasn't comfortable sitting and talking or comforting crying people, however much he had learnt from Rinoa.

Sighing, Quistis looked back over the beautiful sunset. She lay back down on the grass, tears once again pouring down her cheeks, as she remembered Seifer, and the love that she thought they had both shared.

Ok! First chapter done! I know that I should really be finishing off my other fan fics before starting new ones, but I couldn't resist once this idea popped into my head! This is going to not just be about Quistis and Seifer, but also about all the other characters, focussing on their relationships and the struggles they face in these relationships. Sounds kind of depressing, but tell me what you think and I'll continue if you like! Thanks!
