Irvine stood in the empty Train Station, as he thought of the previous night. She had talked to him, but had seemed so distant. Not at all, looking him in the eyes. She had said something, that hurted Irvine more than anything. He hadn't at all thought of hearing it from Quistis' mouth.
"Get away from me Irvine! I hate you! I don't want to have anything to do with you!" she yelled out, as tears endlessly streamed down her cheeks, causing her voice to sound fragile. Irvine stared into her blue eyes, but she continued to turn away.
Quistis crossed her arms in front of her chest, as she pressed her gloved hand against her mouth, muffling her cries. But she returned his gaze, staring hard at him, "You'll never, and I mean never love me. Or anyone else. You don't know how bad it hurts, Irvine. To feel the pain of knowing something true, but still in denial. That's what I'm going through. And trust me, this hurts more than the thing you call pain. If you don't mean something, please spare me, and don't say it. Cause lies hurts more than the truth."
Irvine licked his lips, as he turned away, staring around the emptied Secret Area. He then turned his blue eyes back to her, "Quistis, I do. I care about you."
"Care about me?!? You don't care about me! All you could do, is say it. But you could never show a woman feelings. You never take responsibility, do you Irvine? No, you don't. So don't bother...," Quistis inhaled deeply, as she began to walk off, but was stopped by his hand on her wrist. She swung back, staring into his eyes.
"So what the hell do you want me to do?? Are you tryin' to tell me, if I stayed that morning, this wouldn't happen," Irvine questioned harshly.
Quistis gave him a smile, that showed anger, "I'm not trying to tell you anything. You believe what you want to believe." She quickly pulled away, as she wiped the tears from her eyes, and exited through the broad doors.
Irvine glanced down, as he quickly picked up his belongings, and started toward the station. He hadn't at all told anyone, but he knew that they would soon figure out. Irvine let out a laugh, Maybe Galbadia is the place for me.
"He's gone...," Selphie uttered, holding onto the letter that clasped between her fingers, "He left..." Quistis turned away, as she hugged tightly onto her pillow, staring out the window. The things he said to her, only reminded Quistis of her hatred for him. Or was it less than that, she quickly stood up, slamming the pillow onto the bed.
"Don't you wanna know where he's going?" Rinoa questioned, concerned. Quistis smirked, as she turned to the open window.
"Doesn't matter to me, anyways. It's his life...not mines," she uttered.
"Yeah, but now, he's involved with you, Quistis," Selphie replied, getting off the bed, "Don't you know that? I'm not trying to convince you...but you've got to understand how he must feel..."
Quistis quickly turned to her friend, "What about me??? Does anyone ever give a fuck about me??!?! Do they know what the hell I'm going through?!?!?" Rinoa stared blankly at her, as she headed towards the door.
"Well, you can't sit here day by day, pitying yourself. Think it over, we'll leave you alone," she uttered, as Selphie followed her out the door. Quistis let out a whimper, as she walked over to her bed, sitting down. She slowly leaned her head against the pillow, taking deep breaths. She slowly reached over to the letter that was left beside her bed.
Deling Train Station, Departure at 1300 hours.
Quistis immediately came to a stop, as she realized the train had completely emptied, and one was passing her by. She let out a cry, as tears slowly surpassed her cheeks.
"Irvine....," she uttered, as the train roared passed. Quistis quickly looked up, when she noticed a tall figure just ahead of her. There he stood, his blue eyes fixed on her. He slowly walked over to her, still standing at least 3 feet away.
"Hey...," Irvine uttered, looking down, his belonging packed beside him, "I couldn't leave, without telling you...and even if you decide to believe me or not...Quistis, I may hurt you, and I may leave you at times you don't know, but I just want you to know, that I'll always love you no matter what."
Quistis stared at him, as she bit her lip, to hold back her tears, "Irvine..."
"I thought about you...and I know what I did was wrong. I know I can't go back and change what I did, but jsut to make up now....I truly love you, Quistis Trepe. With all my heart. And here, I promise this to you...for as long as I live, there will never...never be a day, when I'll ever stop feeling for you."
Quistis smiled, as her tears flowed down her cheeks. She quickly ran to him, nearly knocking him over, as she wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"I love you, too....," she uttered, as she held onto him. Quistis looked up into his eyes, that showed nothing but softness. She slowly leaned forward, as the two met in a kiss. He gently pulled away, then he whispered soothing words into her ear, as the sun had begun to set before there eyes.
