The Broken Heart Healed
Everyday. That's
how much it pained her. Seeing Squall
with Rinoa when she wished it was herself in his arms and not…Rinoa. Quistis Trepe had many Trepies falling,
rather flinging, themselves at Quistis's feet, adoring her, loving her, spying
on her, stalking her….er, anyways, the point is that Quistis Trepe is
alone. Never got with someone else,
just in case things went bad between Rinoa and Squall, she'd be there for
him.
After regaining her
instructor license again, Quistis had more work to do…again. Every weekend were cooped in her dorm room
grading papers and making tests, reports, assignments. She drifted to the thought of herself in
Squall's arms. It seems that all her
friends had a special someone. Selphie
and Irvine, Zell had that librarian girl, what was her name? Oh it doesn't matter.
Quistis walked to
the cafeteria and found her friends eating breakfast. Rinoa and Squall seemed like they were waiting for her.
"Good. You're here finally!!" Selphie greeted
Quistis as she took her seat. She
turned to Rinoa and Squall. "Now tell
us your announcements!" Rinoa held
Squall's arm and looked at him. "I'll
tell them." She looked at her friends
and sighed. "Squall and I are getting
married!" She smiled and Selphie
clapped. Irvine, Quistis, Zell and his
girlfriend (Adrian was it?) congratulated the newlyweds. Squall still seemed emotionless but he
smiled.
"Thanks guys." Irvine walked up to him. "Now that you're getting married…how about
making me your best man?" Zell
objected. "I want to be the best
man!" So they ended up debating. The same goes to Selphie and uh,
Adrian. (I'll just call her that.) Quistis sat quietly sipping her coffee. She felt like crying because her love was
taken away….far far away.
"Please settle down
girls!" Rinoa giggled. "I'll pick who
will be my bridesmaid." She looked at
them and Selphie looked back with puppy-eyes.
"I think I'd pick….Quistis!"
Quistis choked on her coffee.
"W-what? Me?" Rinoa nodded. "I think you need to get out more and you need a man. Maybe you'll meet someone. It happens."
"I have work to
do."
"We'll tell Cid
you're busy being my bridesmaid." Rinoa
looked at Squall. Zell seemed to be the
best man from the death glares Irvine was shooting at him. Selphie held her hand in silence. Everybody quieted down. "When?" she asked. Rinoa smiled and Squall thought really hard.
Hmm. Weather will
be rainy next month…..it takes probably a week to do…only option is next
weekend, but it's –
"Next weekend!" Rinoa said happily. Everyone agreed except for Quistis, who
looked she was about to cry, and Squall who stayed quiet. "I thought that that week might be good
since it takes about a week to set up and next month will be to wet, so…." She
smiled gleefully. "What do you think
Squall?" He shook his head and Rinoa
frowned.
"But it's the best day for the
wedding! Weather will be good too!"
Selphie protested. Irvine nodded.
"Why not that day?" asked Rinoa, afraid
that there would be a mission.
"Because," he began, "that day is
Quistis's birthday." Everybody gasped
and looked her way, but she was gone.
They all looked down, feeling guilty that they forgot about her
birthday. No one gave a thought about
it once. Only Squall….
To be continued.
