"I told you," Sililli muttered, her face a picture of distress. "You shouldn't have done it. The gods don't want it"
-Pffft, it's useless- I thought in distress as I found myself reading the same sentence for like the tenth time in a row.
Snapping the book shut, I examined the cover, knowing full well that it didn't make no difference, that the black haired beauty that seemed to try and avoid my eyes wouldn't do a thing; those pleading, gorgeous eyes still hunted me.
With an exasperated sigh, I tossed Marek Halter's novel aside, and decided to focus my gaze upon the window, staring at the impenetrable darkness that extended before my eyes. Little did it do to soothe my aching soul.
He still hunted me, my every dream, my every thought… his scent, his azure, piercing eyes, his smile, his voice…and there I was, doing it again, torturing myself. But… I know this'll sound quite bizarre, but it was a sweet kind of torture…sure, it hurt, but somehow, I didn't want it to stop.
Looking around, I took my iPod and put the earphones to my own ears, foolishly hoping some fluffy, sweet lyrics would quiet down the small voice at the back of my head…
No battery I feel like slapping someone as I take the earphones and stuff them into my bag as well.
"Please, Tifa, please let me explain….gimme a second chance, I'm begging you….Tifa please…I love you!"
My vision goes blurry as I swallow the painful knot that has formed on my throat.
I can still feel his warm hands around mine, his voice like a soft thunder on the back of my mind, his breath warming my face…
"Please, Tifa…please don't say it's too late…."
His voice broke down at this point, making my own eyes mist over with tears
"Tifa…we can make this right, I'll change, I swear I will…please don't say it was too late"
I gently removed my hand from his, and at once my heart snapped in two…
"I'm sorry, Tiff"
His last whisper pierced my heart like an arrow.
"I am…I love you"
Looking around the airplane, my eyes fall upon the sleeping Marlene, her head resting against her arm.
"I-I I l-love you, Tifa"
I knew I loved him too, more than life itself.
"I'm sorry, Tiff"
Yes, it was too late now…
