Chapter 2 –

Rinoa's POV

It was only at least 2 weeks until the Christmas holidays now. I could hardly wait; a break from all the music work was really what I needed. Although I knew that when I got back to college I'd be really happy too. Studying what I love most really makes me get up in the mornings, even on my worst days.

The Christmas decorations had started going up all around the halls already. If you were to walk into the recording studios you'd expect to see Santa behind the computer sorting out the entire recording. "Ho, ho, ho happy recording" or something sad like that. There was tinsel and loads of that cushiony white stuff people liked to pass off as fake gathered snow.

Mum had gone crazy with the decorations as usual. My baby sister, Emma had a field day playing with all the little balls on the tree. There were some little figurines of Santa and the little elf's, which were set out on the mantelpiece, which she could resist using as new boyfriends for her Barbie's. Mum had a fit. I got the blame, as usual. "You should have stopped her! She could have got hurt!" Playing with Santa toys? I highly doubted it. She was only five; I had no idea how she had managed to climb up to get the mantelpiece in the first place.

College was just as bad with Emma. I'd brought her in once during lunch while I waited for mum to pick her up. She'd been sent home from school ill and the only time mum could get her was during my lunch break. Yui and Selphie had gone nuts over how adorable she was. My arse was she adorable, a little nightmare more like. She really wasn't interested in playing with the girls though; she wanted to play with Squall. I knew he wasn't good with kids so I just let her run riot around him; it was funny to see him trying to stop her from doing something stupid. She almost fell head first into a fish tank; I've no idea how.

I'd already brought everyone's presents. My bank account was almost empty by the end of this Christmas. I brought presents for Emma, Mum, Dad, Squall, Yui. Irvine, Selphie and Zell. Emma seemed to have the most though, I liked buying her toys. Kept her occupied for a few hours or so. Squall's had somehow cost the most though, I didn't really mind, as long he liked it.

"You got all your shopping out of the way yet?" I asked Selphie and Irvine as we walked to the lunch café together.

"Most of it" Selphie replied, Irvine remained silent showing us that he hadn't even started.

"Not even mine?" Selphie asked, being his girlfriend and all. I smirked as the two started their little domestic arguments.

I walked over to Squall who sat with Zell and Yui. The couple were happily chatting away whilst Squall on the other hand had his head in him arms on the table. I knitted my brow; he had been fine last night. I walked over to the table; I was determined to find out what was wrong with him so near to Christmas.

"Hey you" I said as I sat down opposite him. He lifted his head slowly from the table, letting his eyes peek up at me

"Hey"

"Whats up?"

"Nothing"

"Bull"

"Nothing!"

"Bull Leonhart!"

"Fine" he said as he put his head back down with a thud. I jumped as the thud vibrated through the thin wooden table. The others looked over at me and all rose their eyebrows, questioning what was wrong with him.

"So whats wrong?"

"Quistis" my eyes widened. I hadn't heard him say that for a while. I had hoped he was feeling a bit better over the whole situation.

"What?"

"Quistis!"

"I heard" I said as I ran my hand backwards through my hair "whats she done this time?"

"She's been calling me"

"What? Why?"

"She broke up with Seifer. She says she misses me"

"Oh for Christ sakes"

"Yeah I know"

"Squall she's no good"

"I know that, I'm not gonna let her back in"

"Good"

"Its getting hard not to though"

I sighed and ran my hand back through my hair. Theres no way I could handle watching her use him again. I didn't wanna see my best friend with someone like her. "Excuse me" I said as I got up from the table and left the café.

I couldn't believe it. I knew she'd do it eventually, break up with Seifer and go straight for Squall again. It wasn't fair on him at all, either of them actually. Seifer didn't deserve to be second best and Squall didn't deserve to be used the way she used him. It wasn't right at all. It was like Selphie telling Irvine she loved him and then going and kissing some random guy behind his back. It was morally wrong.

"Seifer" I said as I tapped his shoulder. He turned and smiled warmly at me "Can we talk?" he nodded and we walked outside to where we could talk privately.

"Whats up?" He asked as he leant against a tree

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"Quistis has been playing Squall again. She was phoning him saying how she misses him now she isn't with you"

"I knew she'd do something low like that"

"Yeah well I don't want my best friend with someone like her, she's no good"

"That's why I ended it before I turned out like Leonhart"

"I guessed. Listen just try and keep her away from him, please?"

"I'll try, I can't guarantee you anything." I nodded and started walking away before Seifer called my name again. I turned around to look at him and await what he had to say.

"Have you ever wondered why you care so much about him?" I shook my head. He was Squall, my best friend, I didn't have to think. "I can read you like a book, Rinny. You still don't see whats in your heart do you? What everyone else see's." I rose an eyebrow at him before turning and walking away once more.

"She's not worth you're heart" I said as I leant on the railings of the balcony. Squall and myself had chose to stay out late tonight just to hang and catch up with each other's lives. There was this supermarket in the local town, which had access to the roof on it. At night you could see the lights for miles, it was really beautiful.

"I know but I could say the same about some of the guys you went for"

"I'm taking a break from the male gender" I said as I laughed slightly.

"I don't see why. You could have any guy you wanted"

"I find that hard to believe," I said with a slight snort of laughter

I looked out. I had been with so many dicks. Seifer had actually been the best one so far. My old ex had been really nasty; he was a woman beater, and a cheat too. I just didn't want a boyfriend right now at all; I had hardly had time to heal in between my other ex and Seifer. I thought Seifer would somehow make me feel better but in the end it had just made things worse.

"Remember when we were kids and all you'd have to do was pick on a girl and she'd know you liked her?"

"Yeah, I think so"

"Why can't it be that simple now? Why can't I just run up to a girl, poke her really hard and run away, they'd know I wanted to play kiss chase with them then" he said with a smirk. I looked at him for a moment before I burst out laughing. "What?" he asked, I looked him. I couldn't believe that was his logic on girls. If he really picked on girls to show he liked them then I was in trouble, we picked on each other all the time.

"I can't believe you said that" I said though little giggles

"Whats so wrong with that?"

"Whatever, Squall" I said as my giggling calmed down

"That's my line" he looked at me with a false glare before smiling.

"Shall we go?" He asked me

"Yeah, we might as well" I smiled at him before we started walking down the steps to get back into the car park.

"Rinoa!" He whispered as he grabbed my arm on the stairs. As we looked down the metal stairs we could see the distant outline of what looked like two men standing at the bottom. "Police?" I shrugged. We started walking slowly and as quietly as we could down to the bottom where two tall and fat police officers waited for us.

I looked at Squall who just looked at me and gulped. We were in trouble.

I sat my head facing down to the floor the same as Squall did. I didn't know what to do, I'd never been arrested before, and it wasn't something I'd planned to do with my life. I just followed what Squall did, he was the guy and as far as some things go guys are generally better with dealing with them. My mum was going to kill me, not so much my Dad. I could imagine her now storming in and not even saying a word to me, just glaring at me and then giving the shouting of a lifetime when I got home.

What we'd done wasn't so bad. Well okay it was private property and yeah it was trespassing but there were no signs saying we couldn't go up there. They should have big red and yellow signs saying "PRIVATE PROPERTY!" on them just so people would know, 'urm don't go up there, you really don't wanna go up there.'

The officers who'd arrested us hadn't come out and said anything to us since we got there. They'd given us a lecture in the car about trespassing on private property and how'd they were going to call our parents but that was all. "If you wanted time alone I'm sure you could have found somewhere else. It may seem romantic up there for young couple but that doesn't make it right" they'd said to us. Squall and me had just looked at each other and shook our heads thinking what idiots those guys were.

Both Squall and my heads shot up as the doors before us burst open revealing two people, two women. Our very pissed looking mothers. Squall's mother was shooting death glares over at him; they were equally as bad as Squall's glares if not worse. My mother was just looking at me in somewhat disbelief, it was like that now sure but when we got home I knew I'd get the same glares and also a huge dosage of shouting thrown at me.

"Are you these two's parents?" An officer came out to ask. Oh yeah, now he comes out to talk. They both nodded, eager to hear what the officer had to say. "They were found trespassing on private property tonight"

"What?" Squall's mother asked him in shock

"We found them as they had been walking down the stairs, we received complaints from some of the workers saying they had heard voices when they went upstairs to the stock rooms and what not."

"Okay, is there anything going to happen to them?"

"No but this a warning for them to never go up there ever again otherwise it will be severely more than a warning"

"Thank you officer"

We both stood up and walked into the car park with our mothers. We looked over to each other and exchanged worrying glances before getting into the cars with our mothers who both waved at each other before getting in the cars with us and starting to drive home.

"What a load of old bollocks" My head snapped over to where my mum was sitting. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped as the words left her mouth.

"W-what?"

"That's all so stupid! They arrested you for that! I thought you'd been in a fight, got caught shoplifting or something bad like that"

"You don't think its bad?"

"Not at all. I used to go up to places like that all the time when I was your age and nothing ever happened to me. Its just the police these days, arresting teenagers is like a hobby for them or something I think" I shook my head almost thinking that I hadn't heard her say those things that maybe I was just in a deep daydream "Don't worry, your not grounded or anything. Your not even in trouble. Maybe when we get home you should just go to bed though, its late and you've got college tomorrow" I nodded in agreement and for the rest of the journey stared wide eyed out the car window.

"My mum didn't even care! She thought the police were being stupid"

"So did mine although she did have a go at me" He said agreeing with what I had to say. As soon as I'd got in I phoned Squall to fill him in on what had happened my end of the fighting lines.

"Why?"

"She said that she would have wanted me to tell her that we were together as a couple" He said with a hint of cringe in his voice

"Oh for Christ sakes, you know that's not the first example of people saying things about us being together today"

"No?"

"No. Seifer mentioned it this morning and then the…"

"Seifer? You were talking to Seifer?" I slapped my head, he wasn't supposed to find that out and I'd just dropped myself right in it

"Uh yeah, I did. I thought I'd uh check if he was okay after him and Quistis had split and all"

"Why do you bother? He didn't check on you when you two split"

"Yeah, I know but hey I'm a nice person"

"Too nice"

"Oh shush"

"Why do people keep assuming we're a couple? Can't two people of the opposite sex just be really good friends anymore?"

"I know, its staring to really wind me up"

"Don't worry we'll just keep telling people we're not and eventually they should get the message"

"Yeah I hope"

"Anyways, I'm going to bed now, its like 2 in the morning"

"Yeah I know. Want a ride to college tomorrow?"

"Of course" He chuckled slightly and I giggled a tiny bit

"Night then"

"Night night, Rin"

A/N: Okay I know that's two chapters I've done with the goodnight phone call at the ending but its not all gonna be like that, its just how it ended in the finished result. Sorry guys. Anyhoo, please review for me and please tell your friends about it too. I really like this one and to see it go to waste would really be a shame. Its got such a good storyline coming for it, I really hope everyone will like it as much as I do.

Thanks again to the same people. I've been going through a really tough time in my personal life these days and it seems that the only people keeping me sane are my friends. Especially Adam, he's been helping me so much and it means the world to me. If ever there was anything he needed I'd do it for him simply because he's been here when I needed him the most.

Anyways, I'm gonna go and start the next chapter now and hopefully next chapter wont have such long A/Ns on them when they start and finish lol. Thanks for reading everyone : D
