After what seemed to be an hour Tifa got up off the bed and grabbed her phone, finding no new messages she decided to send bigdawg a message.
"Hi need a rant here, I had a go at him for no reason. Why do I do it? Why does he seem to get me so worked up, I tell him I loved him he just said he can't be in a reationship due to his feelings with our friend who died during the meteor crisis its been 5 years why can't he get over it! arhh it just gets me frustrated, why can't he get over it?
I am so sorry I tried to be strong, I tried to support him, be there if he needed me, just last night he came home, a massive graze on his leg and back. I nurse it better, and he hardly thanks me. I can't take it anymore, I need a new start. He still loves her, feels he has learned to hide it better, but whenever he mentions her I react so strongly its not his fault I think I have ruined our friendship, so now I can't live with him, I do love him but starting to feel he's taking advantage of me. I need to move on I can't keep waiting for him like this.
I don't know if I'm ready to know, but I want to know, please BigDawg tell me your secret.
Luv Tifa, (your sexy bar gurl) xxx"
She read the message again, took a breath and pressed send. No turning back now she thought placing the phone in her pocket glancing at the clock she realised there was 15 minutes before she had to open the bar for the lunch customers, she quickly changed into her barmaid 'uniform' and walked down to the bar.
Cloud was sat on a barstool, a whiskey bottle and a glass sat infront of it.
"Cloud! What are you doing?" She asked taking the bottle away from him, finding it was unopened, "why are you sat here?"
He looked at her tears in his eyes, "I've been thinking Teef, I'm nothing, I defeated Sephiroth, we stopped Meteor, but what do I have to show for it?" He got up off the stool, "nothing that's what!" He walked towards the side door, to their garage where Fenrir was kept.
She followed him into the garage and stooped him from getting on the bike. "Where are you going?"
"Got business to to deal with," he pulled out his phone and played back a voicemail from Reno.
"Yo spikey, we need some muscle a flock of Guard Hounds are roaming the wastelands they may attack edge soon, need you to help us deal with them."
"Ok, well let me know when you're on the way home" he nodded fired up the engine and pressed a button opening the garage door and left.
She sighed and returned to the main bar and opened for business. She then grabbed Clouds glass and put the whiskey bottle back on the top shelf placing the glass into the washer.
After a couple of hour she closed the bar, why open for lunch, not single customer as usual She thought, as she felt a vibration from her pocket, "he's replied, will he tell me the secret?"
"Hi, Tifa, its Reeve, we have some new trainees just wondering if you'd changed your mind about becoming a part-time instructor for the WRO,"
She read the message, well not BigDawg, but maybe I could instruct by day and open only at nights. She thought while ascending the stairs.
She entered the kitchen and started to prepare a meal for herself and the kids, since they were due back.
Hi, doing shorter chapters for this as I seem to have trouble finding a direction for this.
