When You're Gone
Chapter 4: Show Me Love

I watched Vincent and Shelke again. I was so jealous of her! I wanted Vincent to love me, but he didn't. It just broke my heart to see him with Shelke. I felt so left out.

Finally, I decided to talk to him. I went to his room, and saw him with Shelke.

"But what about Yuffie?" Shelke asked.

"She's just jealous," Vincent said, "I know she loves me, but I love you. I think she's a good friend, but just a friend. I don't love her."

Just a friend? JUST A FRIEND?! Would someone who's 'just a friend' suffer because they want their friend to be happy? I wanted Vincent, but I was letting him be with Shelke, because I LOVED HIM!

I smiled a smile that said 'Dear God, this isn't happening.' He loved her. I knew I was being selfish, but I just wanted him to love me! Why couldn't he love ME?

At least he's happy. But at what price? My happiness?

I grabbed my coat and was about to go out, when I heard Vincent and Shelke come down.

"Yuffie! Where're you going?" he asked.

"Out," I stammered, "To someone who loves me."

The last part was a lie, but I didn't care. I went out, and ran. I just ran.

Poor Yuffie. I HATE Shelke and Vincent together. (I hate Shelke in general, but...) I'm doing this because I've found the perfect person for Yuffie.

'Show Me Love' is a song by t.A.T.u. It's really good. Any connection?
