Okay this ending is short but I hope you like it!
Seven years ago my life felt like it ended for 5 lifetimes. I dyed my hair to raven black hair that made my green eyes pop. I didn't notice but people would mention it. But I was on my way to my new job I got yesterday at 7th heaven. I've quit many jobs before just because of many reasons. One it reminded to much of my old home with my parents. Or they didn't pay well. Rarely both. I've been through ten places to work at but with no hope. This is my final resort.
I stepped in and saw my new boss greet me. Tifa. "Hey Anna. Your early." She stated with a smile.
I nodded. "Yeah. So what do you want me to do?" I asked looking around and stuffing my hands in my pockets.
Tifa looked around. "Can you help pass out drinks?"
"Uh, sure."
Tifa smiled and handed me a mug of beer. She cocked her head to a man with auburn hair that looked about my age. He had three beer bottles on the side and looked a bit tipsy. I sighed knowing this wouldn't end too well. "Lets get this over with." I groaned walking forward. I placed the drink on the table. "Okay, there's your beer."
Before I walked off the man grabbed my wrist. "Anna? Is that you?" He asked. Damn! If I ran into someone I knew I didn't want them to recognize me. It was the boy from the store when I would get my parents drinks. Great!
"No my name is Eliza." I shuddered.
He laughed drunkly. "Nice try Annie! But dying your hair won't trick me. Don't you remember me? It's me Danny!" He asked.
I looked down. "Don't call me Annie, my name is Eliza. I need to get back to work." I mused changing the subject pulling out of his grasp. I started to walk off but he grabbed me and pulled me into his lap. I could smell the alcohol clean on him.
"Come on babe I just want fun. I always liked you. Don't you?" He asked trailing his hand in my shirt. I pulled away.
'No, not this again. I refuse to get my heart broken again. Never again.' "Thanks, but no. I've never felt that way." I hissed.
He pulled me back. "Oh but you will Anna. You will." He whispered.
I struggled against him but his grip went stronger.
'Emily will find a better place to fall asleep.'
I felt another hand on my wrist that was stronger than Danny's pull me away. I was pushed behind the person. "She said no." I heard a fimular voice hiss. But it was a bit deeper.
"Oooooo... What are you gonna do? I've this girl my whole life." Danny groaned.
I opened my eyes and saw a man with golden spiky locks as hair wearing a black outfit. I felt like the air was punched out of me. I've only seen one person with hair like that and that was seven years ago. And that was Cloud.
"That may be true but you can't treat her like that." Cloud hissed
His name flooded my mind with too many questions to answer. Danny smirked. "Oh come on dad. I just wanted to screw with her." Danny sarcastically whined.
'And maybe she will save me, in the ocean of her dreams.'
That was the final straw for him. Cloud quickly punched Danny in the jaw which kinda made me satisfied I must admit. But that went away quickly when the bar turned to the scene. I turned to Tifa and shook my head. I had a sorry look on my face before walking out. I couldn't sit through this. I started to run into the closest ally way just wanting to think things through. That man told me Cloud died but he was just standing right in front of me! Where was he? If he asks for me back do I say yes. I still love him but what if he leaves me again and doesn't come back. For good. Does he even recognize me!? He's smart so that's probably a yes. Gaia, why is everything getting complicated for me?
Stupid parents. They caused this! If they treated me like they should I wouldn't be practically living on the streets and picking up every job I can!
"Anna..." I heard a voice ask.
I turned my head and saw Cloud staring at me. "Hello... I was told you died." I stated.
"I'm so sorry." Cloud whispered.
I looked up to him. "It seems you haven't changed. Well other then your strength, the depth of your voice, and your eye color." I listed.
"You've changed." Cloud stated.
"Not really. I'm just confused."
"About?"
I sighed looking down. "I don't know if I should go back to all of this. Back to life I used to have. Back to the risks of getting torn apart. Back to you. I don't know how I could live if I lost you again. I barely survived the last time." Tears started to trickle down my cheeks. A year after my depression grew and grew and grew. Then I had a attempt of suicide but after cutting my wrist I rushed myself to the hospital. The bills sucked up all my money so thats why I live like a person in third class.
"You won't. I'm not going anywhere." Cloud stated.
The tone in his voice gave me the message. Serious, calm, and caring. I looked up to him and the look on his face was hard and serious. But I still need more proof not just two simple sentences, and a look. I need more than this.
"Prove it." I whimpered softly.
Cloud walked to me and pressed his lips on mine just like when we first kissed. I seemed to kiss back instantly because I knew he was telling the truth. This is the first time I've been kissed like this in years and now I have it back.
'Maybe someday love.'
After a minute we pulled apart breathing softly. "Alright you win." I muttered happily.
"If it that's easy then I should do that more often." Cloud replied in a cocky tone.
I chuckled and nudged his shoulder. "Oh stop it." I laughed.
'Maybe someday love...'
