Author's Note:
Dammit! The votes were so close, like
Al Gore and George Bush. So I'm going
to make you choose which chapter you want to read. The ending that ends with a Quall or a Queifer. BUT THIS IS NOT THE ENDING!! Read on! And review!
"Sorry about
that," a voice said from the window. Quistis turned around to see a blond sorry look.
"You!!"
The Broken Heart
Healed: part four.
"I'm very sorry,
Quistis. I never meant to hurt
you! I didn't see you," he spoke,
looking down at the ground. Seifer
climbed in the window and closed it. He
walked over and stood next to Quistis's bed. "Please forgive me. I'd never do
anything to hurt you." He kneels down
so he's at eye level with her. He places
his hand over hers, which she snapped back.
"Ha! I guess you forgot is when you were the
"Sorceress's Knight" you hurt everybody!" she crossed her arms and looked the
other way.
"Look, Quisty,
people make mistakes every time. I
apologize greatly. Please accept it,"
he reaches out and turns her face gently so she faces him.
"Why should I?"
Quistis whispered. Seifer stroked her
chin and ran a hand through her golden tresses.
"Because I love
you," he whispered back and leans in to kiss her, only to be pushed off by her.
"Well, I don't have
the same feelings for you. Well I do
like you, but not that way. You've been
one of my best student before you left and," she blurted out with tears and covered
her face. "I love someone else!" Seifer stood up, heartbroken. Quistis cried. "I'm sorry Seifer, but I can't return those feelings you have for
me back," she said, hands covering her face. "I'm sorry."
"Squall can't
return those feelings to you," he said, feeling himself tear.
"What do you
know?!" Quistis raged and turned to him. But he was gone. She looked at
the window and the curtains fluttered from the open window. I'm so confused. Why am I crying? She cried that night, sobbing herself to
sleep.
Seifer walked to
his dorm and fumbled with the keys. The
door opened and walked in. He threw the
keys on the table and kick the door shut. He fell on his bed and sighed. Him, of all people Quistis had to pick him. That him was Squall, his rival, his enemy and so on. Squall already had a girl, why should he
care about Quistis. To Squall, he
probably thought Quistis as an Instructor. All these thoughts flew through his mind. He turned over and tried to go to sleep. He had until this weekend to move his stuff
and go. That week was the end of the
semester and Quistis's birthday. Cid
wanted him to finish his studies before he could move out, probably finding
another Garden. He couldn't sleep that
night and nor did Quistis.

The next
morning, Quistis opened her eyes and rays of sunshine poured in. Wait, more like rays of blonde-shine poured
in.
"What are you going
here Seifer?!" Quistis snapped up straight and glared at Seifer.
"I'm leaving
today," he replied.
"So?"
"You won't be able
to see me again."
"…" Quistis ignored him and picked up the
present Squall gave her and toyed with the blue ribbon.
"I love you." When Quistis turned her head, he was
gone.
Then Squall came by
and told Quistis that she could leave now. Quistis was obviously overjoyed that Squall came by. She was overjoyed at the other news too.
"Quistis, I'm also
here to pick you up. There's also a
party for your recovery tonight so I guess we should go."
"Great, but what
about the presents the students and, ugh, Trepies gave me."
"Zell and Irvine
will pick them up," Squall said and as if right on cue, the two came and by and
lugged in little wagon. They
immediately began to pile the gifts in and carrying them to Quistis's dorm.
Along the way, both
were quiet until they reached Quistis's dorm. When she opened the door, the room was piled with everything that was in
the infirmary. Then Quistis nearly
tripped on something. She picked it up
and recognized it as the present Seifer gave her.
"Quistis, one more
thing," Squall caught her attention. "Open
my gift to you when you I come to escort you to the quad okay?" Quistis nodded and melted when she looked at
him. "Alright. I'll see you at eight." He walked out the door. When she was sure he was out of the
preliminaries she jumped and yipped with joy, plopping herself on her bed. Then she felt eyes were watching her. Irvine and Zell were staring at her with an eyebrow
raised.
"What? Ever seen a girl happy?" Quistis skipped to the showers.
Okay, end of this
chapter, select your destination! Queifer? Or Quall? You decide! Also forgive me if this chapter isn't good.
