Chapter 12: Don't Think
With Willow
(Willow's pov)
I looked at Yuffie for a few seconds.
"Are you screwing with me?" I asked. Was this a cruel joke?
"NO!" Yuffie shouted.
I shook my head. I mean, I had heard of people with no pulse but still be alive, but dormant. Was that what happened with Mailyn? Or was this just a big fucked up dream?
Maybe I was the one, that was dead and this was hell for me. Maybe I was the one that was dying or in a coma and this all was a dream. I mean, going into one of my favorite games? That can't happen...right?
"Come on!" Yuffie yelled, grabbing my arm and pulling me up.
Yuffie is one of my favorite characters, from Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts but right then I just needed to be alone.
I jerked my arm out of her grasp and said, "Leave me alone. I need some air." I stalked away from her, to head outside.
"Fine! Act like SQUALL!" Yuffie shouted, behind me.
I just rolled my eyes. When I got outside, I leaned against the wall and sighed. I pulled out Mailyn's lighter and cigarettes, which had fallen out of her pocket when we had took her to the Gummy ship. I hated her for smoking. I had seen what it had done to my grandmother and didn't want to see it happen to her. I glared at the cigarettes and stuffed them back in my pocket. I started to flick her lighter open and close. I remembered us, playing with empty Zippo lighters, by flicking them open and close. We both had loved fire and stuff. I still do. Don't know about Mailyn.
I shook my head.
'Don't think about her. Don't think about how she might by dying still. Don't think about nothing at all...'
I blinked back tears and looked up at the dark, star filled sky.
A tear slipped down my face. Not just because of Mailyn. But because...
A star had just went out.
With Leon, Aerith and Yuffie
(Normal pov)
Leon looked at Yuffie when she came into the room. She was suppose to be getting Willow. "Where's Willow?"
Yuffie shrugged and threw her hands up in the air. "She's acting like your sorry bum, Squall!"
"It's Leon. And what's going on?"
"She said she wanted some air and stalked -STALKED- outside. Seriously, acting like you Squallie!"
"Leon. I'll go talk to her." Leon stated, heading out of the room.
Aerith sighed.
"What is it, Aerith?" Yuffie asked, cocking her head at the flower girl.
"Well, it's nothing really. And it's none of my business, but Willow and Mailyn seem like... they don't want to be angry or anything with each other. I think they just want to be friends."
"Well, they're both stubborn and pig headed if you ask me with this whole 'hating each other, trying not to like each other' thing!" Yuffie stated, with her hands on her hips.
"Well, Yuffie it's none of our business. At all. So don't meddle." Aerith said, grabbing a bowl of cool water and a wash cloth to take to Mailyn to put on her forehead.
Yuffie rolled her eyes. Aerith should know her by now! She'd meddle somehow! If it was nothing more then lock them in a closet together! Yuffie smiled to herself and skipped after Aerith.
With Willow
(Willow's pov)
I was twirling my twin blades around, just to be doing something and to keep my mind off Mailyn.
'Don't think about her...'
I was doing that, feeling my arms starting to tire out.
"I really need a freaking holder for these," I muttered.
I kept twirling them and striking at thin air. It was sort of practice for one and then it also was keeping my mind off...you know who. I was doing that as hard and as fast as I could. My eyes were watering from the wind I was making with my blades and then with everything with Mailyn -I'm not suppose to think about her-. My knees felt weak but I kept working. I may have looked stupid, but I didn't care. I just didn't want to think.
I forcing myself to strike as fast and as hard as I could. And I was just standing in one place. I was moving around, like I was fighting someone or something. Maybe a personal demon of mine, I don't know.
And then, I couldn't hold it back no more. A sob broke out of me and my knees gave out. I feel to the ground, my blades landing near me. I held my self up on my hands and weak knees as tears rolled down my face and splattered on the ground beneath me.
I felt a pair of strong hands grab my shoulders and pull me up and I was pulled into a tight hug. I breathed in a warm, calming scent as I was hugged. I titled my head up the best I could and saw a familiar head of spikey brown hair and dark blue eyes.
Leon.
I buried my face into his chest, I couldn't hold it in or back. I started to sob hard into his chest, clutching at the back of his shirt and jacket tightly.
A/N: Ooooh! WELL! Haha Your turn IXI! HAVE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN! Lmfao
