"Oh, Hey sis. How's school?"

"Fine. Who was that?"

"Umm… No one. None at all."

Then the younger Farron left and walked back to her room much to her sister's strange suspicion.

"Who could that be?" She thought.

The pink brunette was rested on her bed. She kept thinking about her lover. She misses him very much and would like to see her but sadly, Her lover refuses. She kept calling him for the last 10 minutes and he still hasn't picked up his phone. She regretted on what she had done to Noctis. All she could do now is to just call and call until something happens.

A few minutes later, She receives a call. Lightning picked up the phone to see that it was her lover who was calling. She swipes her phone and their conversation begins.

"Lightning, What is it that you want?"

She swallowed. "Noctis, I want to… You know…. Apologize. Serah was right, Caius has been planning everything all along. I wasn't thinking before I did such a thing. I should have believed you. I was too assuming about what had Jihl and Caius had said about you dating with Stella, which you never did. Serah told me everything and I mean everything she knew. "

Her ex-lover sighed. "Lightning, Didn't Serah told you that….. I'm leaving?"

At that sentence, She was at loss of words. "Wha-?"

"Farron, listen. I'll be leaving 4 days from now this Sunday night. I decided to leave because you're more happy with Caius than me. I've done everything to make you happy but it seems that my love wasn't that enough much for you."

"Noct, That isn't true. Please, Listen I-" but she was cut-off in mid-sentence.

"Farron, Just give up, face reality. I've already booked a flight for Accordo and I've decided that as long as I never see you, I will be fine. Besides, You're happier with someone else than me."

"Noct, Please, That's not what I meant. Please, Listen. I'm sorry. Please listen to me. I love you more than anything else in this world. Ever since I met you in elementary, I've been in love with you. I love you so much that I couldn't have anyone or anything to replace you. There's only one person like you and I don't wanna lose you. I love you."

Noctis inhales deeply. "How pathetic."

She was at loss of words. "Wha-?"

"I'm sorry Farron but You're dating Caius now and I can't interfere. You had your chance with me but you just deliberately tore it apart like a paper being torn into pulps. You have to stop living in the past . Just face reality cause this is it right now. This is what you want, You ended up hurting someone's heart and dumped him for someone who's better. You'll just end up hurting yourself."

"No. Noctis I-"

"I'm sorry Farron, If you can't have me, then nobody can."

Tears began to fall from her eyes. "Noctis…."

"I… I don't love you anymore and neither do I want to see you again."

"Noctis, I know you still love me. Can't we just love each other again?"

"Farron, Remember what I said that you should be contented with who you're with, Well you're with him now and it's not gonna be me. You'll just find comfort in Caius rather than me. Just… Enjoy your live without me."

After this, Noctis ended the phone call.

Shaken after what he had said, Lightning retreats to the comfort of her bed and sheds tears, Regretting that she shouldn't have done what Caius had did to Noctis.

She wants him back but what can she do now that he's about to leave.

The Next Day

The following day, A weekend as it turned out was peaceful and quiet. In the bedroom of a younger sister, The younger Farron was sleeping comfortably and beside her was a picture of her muscular lover. Then, a sound disturbs her sleep. She checks beside her to see that her cellphone was making the sound. As it turned out, It was a call from her best friend.

"Hello Noctis?"

"Hey S, Could you guys come over to the university grounds at 10."

"Oh sure. I'll text everyone we know. But what about Lightning?"

"Tell her nothing. If she's sleeping in her room, Don't wake her up. Just take a bath right now and call everyone we know. I'll meet you at 10. See ya'."

"Ok Noct, Bye."

The younger Farron wasted no time and immediately grabbed her towel and rushed to the bathroom. After taking a hot bath, She immediately wore her clothing that consisted of blue jeans, a pink jacket and her blue converse hi-tops. She grabbed her phone and went out of her bedroom. She quietly tip-toed her way to her sister's room to check is she's asleep. She did a little peek and it turns out, She was still in a slumber and it looked like no one was to disturb her. She silently closed the door and sneaked out of the house and made her way to the university.

As she was walking, She made phone calls to Squall, Tidus, Cloud, Yuna, Rinoa, Aerith and everyone she and Noctis was close with. She told them the same thing that Noctis had told her early in the morning to which they agreed.

An Hour Later

In the bedroom of the older Farron, She yawns and opens her eyes slowly. She looked at the alarm clock to see that it was 9:50 in the morning. She rose up as usual in her mornings but this morning was different. Her sister was supposed to wake her up an hour before. It was unusual and she rose out of bet and went to her younger sister's bedroom which she didn't know that it was unoccupied.

She knocked at the door and uttered. "Serah" But there was now answer

She tries again. "Wake up Sis."

Then, She knocks again for a third time. "Serah?"

She turns the knob to see that it was unlocked. She opens the door to see that the bed was unfixed and her jacket was gone.

She wonders. "Where'd she gone off to?"

Then, She guessed that there was only one place where Serah would go. She immediately took a bath and afterwards, She dressed up in her clothing and shoes before she went out and rode a bus.

In the University Grounds

In the grounds, Noctis saw that everyone had arrived earlier than he had expected, 5 Minutes to 10. A smiled displays from his face and greeted them one by one. They formed a circle and Noctis began to speak.

"Guys, As you all know, I'm leaving within a few days. Now I've called you guys here because I have some things I'll give to you guys one by one."

He takes off his bag and places it on the ground. Everyone sees him taking out something.

As it turned out, It was something that He and Lightning used to share.

"Guys, This book is the book that me and Lightning used to read together." He glanced at Prompto. "Prompt, I'm giving it to you now. I hope you and Stella enjoy it."

"We will." Stella smiled.

Next, He took out a lamp. "Me and Lightning used to use this lamp whenever we would study together." He glances at Zack and Aerith. "Zack, I want you and Aerith to take care of this for me. Can you do that?"

"Of course we can Noct." Zack uttered.

The next thing he pulled out was a heart shaped picture frame which a picture of Noctis and Lightning was previously displayed. He handed it over to Tidus and his lover Yuna.

"T, Your picture of You and Yuna will be displayed here from now on."

"Thanks Noctis."

Next, He pulled out a blanket which He and Lightning shared during winter season and handed it over to Cloud and Tifa.

He became more happier and handing over things that He and Lightning had used to share together and Later, After he had given everything away, There was one last thing left. He took off something off his neck and hid it in his palm.

"Serah, Even if I'm far away, You're still going to be my best friend."

Tears began to escape everyone's eyes and especially Serah.

"Thanks Noctis."

Noctis displayed a smile and tears began to fall from his eyes. " S-Serah, I-I want you to have this."

He opens up his palm to reveal the necklace the Noctis had given Lightning for her birthday and the one that had been broken after Lightning took it off and slammed it to the hard ground.

Serah begins to sob. "Why Noctis? Why don't you keep it?"

"Serah, If I keep this, It would hurt me more than you guys and I want someone to use these things and keep them for me even when I'm far away. I gave this necklace to you because I know that you'll be the one who can really take care of this."

"But what about-" But she was cut-off.

"Just don't show it to her as long as I'm around. Show it to her when I leave."

She nodded and she and her best friend embrace.

"Take care of it, Alright?"

"I will." She smiled.

Then, Noctis picked up his empty bag and left just as everyone waved goodbye. Then, a bus stops in front of the gates and the older Farron ran to the group. She was panting when she arrived.

"Light?"

"Is that Noctis?" She asked.

"L-Light, I-" Her younger sister stuttered.

"Tell me, Is that him?"

"Y-Y-Yes." Then, Her younger sister takes out something out from her pocket.

"Light."

At the sight of it, The older Farron slowly reached for the broken necklace and memories of her hurting her own lover began to re-visualize in her mind once more.

"Hmph… No answer?

"You know what, We're finished, Caelum."

She remembers his scolding at her.

"Is this some kind of a joke? Do you think I would easily fall for that? I know about this so don't try it again. It will never work on me."

"What do you mean?"

"If this is how you want things to end, Then I can't have you anymore and never again will you see me."

She could remember when she kicked her own lover on his gut and the time when She tried to toy with his feelings. She couldn't believe that this would happen. It was all her fault.

She turned to her friends to see the things that She and her former lover used to share. The memories of her lover's caring and comfort began to make her remember everything that She and Her lover had done in the past. She falls to the ground and cries. Her younger sister comforts her with the rest of her friends around.

Later in the Farron Household

The older Farron came home a little late than her younger sister, Who had left earlier in the university after her sister had decided to take a short stroll. As she reached her home, she opened the door, only to be greeted by silence.

She walked further inside until she heard her sister talking on the phone in the kitchen. She walked quitely to her sister, making sure her presence wasn't known.

She listened closely...

"... Are you sure you don't want to let me tell her? I mean, she is still your friend and-"

"No.. It's better if she doesn't find out and I'll be gone from her life like dust."

"But she should at least know..."

"I know Serah, but if she finds out... It's gonna be harder for me to leave... But I'll inform her a few days before I leave..."

"*sigh* Fine... But what if she asks?!"

"Try your best to change the topic, divert her attention, anything to make her forget about her question."

"O-okay. Bye.", Serah murmured.

"Bye..."

The younger Farron placed the phone back and turned around. Her eyes widened in shock at the sight of her sister.

"S-sis... H-hey... H-how's that s-s-stroll around t-t- own ?", Serah asked nervously.

"Ser, what was that about?", the older Farron asked, as calm as she can possible.

"N-nothing..!...", she blurted-out.

"Then why are you stuttering?", she replied in a serious tone, narrowing her eyes on her sister.

"I'm not..!.."

"Serah, do you know anything about Noctis disappearance?"

"Wha.. What are you talking about?", she replied as sweat began to fall from her forehead.

"Serah, don't lie to me because you can't lie to me. I know what I heard earlier."

"L-light... I-I-I can't tell you-", the younger Farron wasn't able to finish speaking as the older Farron spoke again.

"Tell me...Please.", the older Farron said as tears start to swell-up her eyes once more. 'I don't know what or who should I believe any longer... What is the truth.. what is the lie...?...'

'I'm sorry Noct, I promised that I won't tell her but I have to...'

The younger Farron gave up, as she was powerless against her sister, especially for this matter and spoke;

"Noctis informed me that she would be leaving Bodhum to go to Accordo this Sunday. He felt so much pain for the whole first month you got mad at him, bullied him and even went against him. You've changed alot ever since that lie. He couldn't take it anymore so he decided last week to go to Accordo. He changed his number so that you won't have any contact with him, even if you return to your senses... It... it would just make his life harder to leave you...",

Serah paused for a while as she too began to have tears go out of her eyes. Then continued;

"He gave us his new number, but told us not to give it to you. He didn't attend class because he was preparing to go to Accordo so he told me to lie to Professor Katzroy that he's ill. He isn't only going to study there, but he's gonna live there... He had a friend that agreed to let him stay with him in his home in Accordo 'til he finds his own home..." She starts weeping, but still says what she needs to finish; "I-I-I don't k-know whether-r you still even care ab-bout h-him... O-or your just ge-getting all this info to-to use it against h-him... I-i don't even know if you w-would even realize h-ho-how m-much he cares for you... And... And you.. You did this to h-hi-him..."

"I..I... I'm sorry...", Lightning replied as light tears fell to her cheeks. "I-I was foolish. Jealous. My pride overpowered me. I-I regret it all now..."

"...I don't even know... If you or any of us can stop him or do you still care about him...", Serah said as she was still crying on her sister's chest, getting a in embrace from the older Farron in return.

"... I won't know unless I try...", she replied, giving it a light squeeze on her younger sister's shoulder, then smiling a gentle smile, but with bittersweet feeling to it.
