Tifa POV
I'll
spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy
to tell you goodbye
I got to take a risk
Take a chance
Make
a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But
I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a
chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
I turned off the radio. Today just wasn't my day, and listening to this song…described me perfectly today. I wasn't the strong woman everyone knew me to be. I'm collapsing from the inside. Today…my heart was shattered, like a piece of glass, into many irreplaceable places…and the only one who could mend it. I said such horrible things to him. I closed my eyes, and a tear slid down my cheek.
Flashback:
It had been raining today. I hate when it rains. I feel like the rain…disables me, like I'm not able to do anything…which made my mood worse. It wasn't as if I woke up angry at the world, just…sometimes I think too much…and something got the better of me. So. I sit by the window, just watching the rain fall.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back to see it was Cloud.
"You okay? Something bothering you?"
"I'm fine." My voice was harsh and cold. I didn't want to deal with anything. I turned in my spot and I saw Cloud blink a few times.
"Teef? No…you're not. What's on your mind?"
"It doesn't matter." I glared at him. I knew he didn't deserve this, and deep down, I felt bad, but I was too angry to think straight.
"Teef, yes it does. C'mon, talk to me."
"No Cloud! Why should I now? When, even if I did, it wouldn't matter?! All the times I want to talk to you, you're NOT HERE!!"
"…"
"Just go away, leave like you usually do." Tears where streaming my face. I ran upstairs to my room, like a child who just fought with her parents. Minutes later, I heard a door slam, a bike start, and the sound of it speeding off. Thank god the kids were at Barrett's tonight.
Just leave me alone here…as usual.
End of Flashback.
I pulled my knees tight to my chest. I wonder where he was now…

Cloud POV
I wonder if she's okay now…judging on what she said… She knows some of the times I can't help being away but…I'm not going to be leaving for a while…
Flashback:
"No Cloud! Why should I now? When, even if I did, it wouldn't matter?! All the times I want to talk to you, you're NOT HERE!!"
"…" What could I say? All she said was true…and it crushed me when she said it. It felt as if my heart was ripped out of my chest
"Just go away, leave like you usually do." Tears where streaming her face. I watched as she hurried up to her room and slammed the door shut behind her. I didn't know what to do…so I thought I'd just do as she asked. So, I rushed out the door and rode around the block, but walked the bike home…so she wouldn't know I was home.
Why was she so angry…? I don't know…but…I'm going to fix it…
End of Flashback.
I quietly walked up the stairs to Tifa's room. I raised my hand up. gently knocked on her door, opened the door and walked in. She looked up at me and sniffled a few times.
"Hey." I said, and sat on her bed beside her.
"Hey…" She sniffled again. "Cloud?"
"Yes?" I wasn't sure what was coming…but I hoped she didn't ask me to leave again.
"Do you hate me?" I could feel a sharp pain in my chest, as I thought she did. Her eyes formed tears again. "You do…don't you? After what I said…"
"No Teef. I don't."
I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and back. I could tell this wasn't what she was expecting, as she struggled to get out of my grasp. I held on tighter, and after a while…she relaxed…but started shaking.
"Shhh Shhh Shhh…Teef I'm here…I won't leave you…I love you Tifa…"
I wasn't expecting anything from her, but…tonight was a night for every unexpected things.
"…I love you too."
