Fourth chapter~ Yay! I'm definitely finishing this before I start writing anything else, I'm getting busy and this has a deadline. Anyway, I'm glad this is going along so quickly, but the flow of the story almost seems too quick. Oh well. What happens will happens.

Kill me now.

I really didn't want to see his face again. After all these years, it still holds a pain in my heart. The bitch I am is because of him. Then, he just moves before I ever got a chance to talk to him.

It hurt.

If only Ike and Marth knew...the farther this goes on the more guilt I feel. It's not fair to them. They both like me, and I'm both of their girlfriends. And Pit, I said we'd be together tonight. Now Ike's having me see him again.

Why did I do this to myself?

o.O.o.

"Link! Over here!" Ike called.

A tall, blonde lad turned over his shoulder and smiled when he saw us. Ike and Link were close acquaintances in high school, since they were always on the same sport teams. My gosh, I thought Link was attractive in high school. Now, he's drop dead gorgeous. His blonde locks had some dirty blonde strands that blended in a messy way. His eyes were even more bright, and his skin looked creamy smooth.

"Hey Ike. How've you been?" he asked.

"I've been good, brother. Remember this gal?" he asked, wrapping an arm around my waist.

Link stared long and hard at me, the look in his eye told me he didn't even recognize me. "A can't really place a finger on it..."

"You really don't remember her? Come on, you're kidding. It's Zelda!"

Link's eyes went wide. "You're Zelda?! Wow. You look different."

"Same to you," I replied quietly with a fake smile. Wait, he said I looked different...that means he did know me! I wonder if he knows about what I was doing in high school...

"So, how have you been since you moved?" Ike asked.

"It's been good. Ah, kinda boring, but there were some moments. I'm still upset I missed graduation," Link said.

"It wasn't that great..." I mumbled under my breath. Both Ike and Link stared at me with perplexing looks. "It wasn't..." I repeated.

"Well, I'm gonna get our table, you two stay here and talk a bit," Ike said. He walked away, giving me a kiss on the forehead before he left. Once he walked away, there was an awkward silence between me and Link. I couldn't stop staring at him. He got even more handsome all these years after high school. It's been seven years, and he's matured so much in appearance. He turned towards me and started talking.

"So, Zel, you've been with Ike a long time now."

"Yep. Since sophomore year."

"Whatever happened to Red? I remember you were with him once."

"Yeah. Once. It was one date. He wasn't really my type." Or he found out you were cheating on him with three other guys. Red was the least dense.

"Shame. You two seemed like a nice couple."

"You kidding? He was shorter than me!"

"He just didn't hit his growth spurt yet!"

"Sure."

"So, how's it been with Ike?"

"It's been nice. I like it a lot. He's a big gush ball."

"Well, I'm happy for you two. He's totally in love with you, if you didn't know that already. When the two of us played soccer together junior year, you were all he talked about."

"And I remember him saying you'd never keep quiet about Midna, either. So don't try to make him look like a lovesick pup," I replied with a sarcastic grin.

Link blushed in embarrassment. "At least I wasn't the only one." There was a pause after that, and Ike came back.

"It's gonna be about ten minutes. It's kinda full right now."

"Perfect. Midna's on her way. She'll make it in time."

"You two didn't come together?" I asked hopefully. I never liked Midna. I mean, she's pretty, she's nice, but there was something about her that just didn't make me like her. Not to mention, she was a tiny part of what made high school a terrible place at graduation. She stole Link's heart, giving me even less of the no chance I had.

I'd rather not talk about it.

"How's she been?" Ike asked. "We haven't seen her in a while."

"She's been good. She got laid off her job recently, so now she's looking for work with a childhood friend. I think she said his name was Roy."

"That's too bad," Ike said. I couldn't reply without saying something that would make me sound like a bitch.

"Yeah, but she's been out of our apartment a lot. She's looking hard for a new job."

"Good for her."

Midna comes running in through the doors, her face flushed, and hair slightly messed up by her part. She was still beautiful as always, but she didn't have that cheerful, youthful glow she did in high school. Then, again, I probably didn't, either.

"I'm sorry I'm late guys," she apologized.

"Don't worry about it, we were just really early," Link replied, wrapping his arms around her waist. She smiled in response to his action, and placing a peck on his cheek. Her smile was full of pleasure, but something was off about the gaze in her eyes. Maybe it was the guilt of being late, or Link's attempt at making her not feel bad. But I didn't care, she's still with Link.

I am so jealous.

o.O.o

Pit hugs me from behind, his bare chest pressed against my back. He snuggles into me, obviously loving his first relationship. "Zelda, I'm tired."

"Me, too," I sigh. After Ike having me see Link with Midna again, it brought back every memory and just pierced me in the heart. I slip out of his arms, pull my shirt over my head and throw it in his face. He blushed fiercely, but sniffed it gingerly. I grabbed a night shirt from my dresser and put it on, then slipping off my skinny jeans. I crawled back onto the bed, resting my head on Pit's lap. He smiled and began caressing my hair. The boy has such a gentle touch. He pulled the covers over us, and gently pulling me up to face him while resting our heads on the pillow.

"Zelda, won't my mom think something's weird if we're together like this a lot?" he asked innocently. His deep, blue eyes shined with a childlike perplexity.

"She doesn't need to know how old I am. Tell her I'm a friend, or your girlfriend if you want. Age doesn't matter, does it? Are your parents the same age?"

"No. Mom's nine years older than Dad..."

"See? We aren't that far apart. I'm twenty-three and you're seventeen. And your birthday's coming soon, isn't it?" I asked. Pit nodded. "So, that six-year difference will soon become five. It's not that bad."

Pit kept staring off, not making eye contact. He was just conflicted about this whole dating-your-co-worker-who-you-just-met-and-barely-know thing.I kissed his head tenderly and lay against his shoulder, smiling. He saw how calm I was, and he smiled. He kissed me between the eyes, wrapped his arms around me and slowly fell asleep. The entire time, I felt sorry for him. My bad experience is giving him a happy one that is really a sham. Once I was certain he was sleeping, my lips crawled up to his ear and whispered "I'm sorry."

Yay! Fourth chapter's done! Please don't hate Zelda just because of this story. If you like the character for who they are, don't hate them for something stupid I made up. Almost everyone in this story is OOC anyway. It's what makes this story intersting. I have to follow the song it's based on. Anyway, I hope you guys like this story. I really like it! C:
