Broken heart Healed

Author's Note: Okay this is the Queifer. I selected this first because, I personally love Queifers, and so it goes first. Although the majority were so close, Quall in the lead, by one. The votes including the reviews [and their families] and my family and friends. So like this Quiefer, it will be kinda sad, but that's okay right? Right. Now review!

The Broken Heart Healed: part 5: Queifer

Quistis adjusted the sparkling diamond earrings and smooth out her gown. She worn her hair the same way and had a peach dress with a criss-cross on the top. It flowed from her midriff down and had a sparkling sheen to it there. She wore light make-up that just hinted it. She walked up to her bed stand and picked up the present that Squall gave her. She twirled the ribbon and untwined it. Quistis ripped the paper inch by inch until it showed a peony corsage in a clear box. She put it on just as the door knock. That must be Squall. I can't believe it! He's escorting me to a party! I might as well die happy! She thought joyfully. Tonight, I'll tell him that I love him!

"I'll be out in a sec!" she told as she placed the plastic box on her desk. As she did, her hand felt something soft. It was the felt blue box that Seifer gave her. I'll open it later. She ran to the door and opened it. "Okay, let's go."

"Do you feel alright? You seemed, flushed," Squall asked as he led her down the stairs.

"I'm fine, just have things on my mind. I wouldn't think they do this for me," she bite her lip and continued walking until they reached the hall.

"Happy Birthday Quisty!!" chirped Selphie, Rinoa and Irvine. Zell swallowed the hot dog and said it too. Quistis smiled and Selphie gave her a hug. Rinoa came to her and apologized. She was the one who arranged it to express her apologized.

"Wow, thanks Rinoa. It's wonderful," Quistis smiled.

Everybody had a good time and Squall was leaning against the balcony. Quistis thought this might be the time she would tell him her feelings for him.

"Good evening Squall," she began, nervously. "I was, uh, could I have a word with you?"

"Sure," he replied. Quistis joined him and stared at the stars.

"Squall, I'm really happy today," she kept her eyes at the stars, hoping there would be a shooting star.

"Why shouldn't you be? It's your birthday."

"Besides all that, there is something that makes me really happy. Squall, I want to tell you that I..."

"Him?"

"I love you Squall. And I am really happy that you remembered my birthday." She looked down, and no shooting star shone by. She tensed and waited for an answer. Only to find silence. "Squall?"

"Quistis."

"Yes?"

"There has been something that I have been meaning to tell you. About that," he ran his hand through his hair.

"About what?" Quistis looked at his face. What does he mean?

"Your birthday Quistis. I didn't…remember it…" he looked at the stars now.

"What? But you – "

"Yes I did, but that was only because I heard a Trepie saying it. I had forgotten about your birthday, too. And I'm sorry," he looked at Quistis with a sad look. "Rinoa and I are still planning to get married. I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way about you, Quistis." He wiped a tear that made its way through Quistis's face. "I am really, truly sorry."

Quistis trembled with tears and her knees went weak. She closed her eyes and turned her back on him. "Some friends I have," she whispered.

"Quistis…" Squall didn't know what to do. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't take it the wrong way. I do like you, but not that way." Quistis turned around and looked at the floor.

"Some friends," she repeated. She brought her hand up and slapped him hard.

"There you are Squall! I was looking for – Squall! Your face is red and swollen! Quistis, why are you crying? What happened?" Rinoa yelped. Quistis's lips trembled and took a look at the two. Then she ran off to the nearest exit.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Quistis opened her room and quickly locked the doors. Her tearstained face was quite noticeable when she was dashing through the hall. Students looked at her in worry, but she paid no heed to them. Quistis leaned against her door and sobbed. This must have been the worst night ever! Squall, he had only pretended. I should have known, she cried out in her mind. There was a knock on the door.

"Quistis? Quistis are you inside? What happen?" came a muffled voice. It was Selphie, pounding on the door, demanding entrance. Quistis didn't bother to reply. "I know you are in there!! Let me in!" Dammit, Quistis thought. She won't give up! I have to find a way out of here before she tells Irvine to blowup this door.

"Irvy!! Help me out! Blow down this door!!"

Just my luck. Quistis eyes fell upon the window and ran to it. A lock of her hair fell out and she tucked it behind her ear. When she did, she felt the peony corsage. She looked at her wrist where it held the flowers. She frowned and pulled it off, thrusting it on the wall. It fell with a hard thud. Funny, flowers aren't hard. She looked at the spot where she threw the corsage and looked down. It was the gift Seifer left. It must have collided with the corsage. Ignoring the arguments outside her door, she opened it to find a ring adorned with a light blue topaz. Quistis was shocked and opened the card. It read:

Marry Me. I Love You.

Quistis teared and plucked the ring out. It was beautiful.

"Okay okay! I'll shoot it down, but if I get in trouble.."

"I'll cover you. Now ready…"

Quistis made her way to the window and opened it.

"Aim…"

She put the ring on.

"FIRE!!"

She jumped out.

"QUISTIS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Selphie screamed as she saw Quistis's body flung out the window. She and Irvine rushed to the window and saw Quistis's body laid in a tree.

"Come on! We have to tell Squall!" she cried out and pulled his arm.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Quistis eyes flew opened. She touched her lips and it showed blood. She struggled to sit up and almost lost her grip when she realized the position she is in. Carefully making her way down, when she made it to ground, Quistis looked at the garden and ran out to the Front Gate. With one last look she ran out in search of Seifer. The only one who cared.

I should have brought my whip, she thought as she backed into a tree. A flee of grats cornered her and were waving their prickly arms in the air. Seeing that the prey is unarmed, they marched forward to attack. Quistis shrieked and waited, covering her face with her arms. She heard its squeals but it never came. When she peeked her eye open, she saw that they were killed.

"Wha?" she was puzzled. Who had saved her?

"What are you doing here? Don't you have a party to go to?" Quistis turned to her left and saw Seifer holding Hyperion in his hands.

"Seifer," she looked at him, crying. "I'm so sorry." She fell to her knees and wept. Seifer just stood there and watched the girl cry her heart out. He was about to leave when a sparkle caught his eye. He stared at her left hand, on the fourth finger, where the pretty ring was worn.

"Quistis, you are wearing my gift." He inched toward her. Quistis gaze up at the towering figure.

"I'm sorry Seifer." Seifer leaned down under he was at eye level with Quistis.

"Why were you wondering in the forests?" Seifer whispered, his face inches away from Quistis's.

"I was looking for you."

"Why?" His face subtracted a few inches until he could feel her breath on his face.

"We all make mistakes sometime. I'm sorry I didn't realize that – " Seifer leaned in, until a centimeter was between their faces.

"I love you, Seifer Almasy." Her lips brush his as she spoke. Seifer's hand brought up to Quistis's face and stroked the cheek. His eyes wondered on the curves of her face, the tears that trickled down. "Please forgive me."

Seifer grabbed her wrist and brought up his hand to his face. He planted a kiss and never took his eyes off her. Quistis cried and smiled. Overjoyed and pure bliss. She leaped on him and clung to him, never letting go. The two shared a kiss and embraced, until a something lit the sky.

A shooting star.
