I Never Thought....




Disclaimer:Blah blah: Okay...I don't own FF8, but if I did...I'd be happy to be rich. And I'm not "with the band" Blink-182. So I don't own the song in this chapter either. BUT I CLAIM TO!!!








Authors Beginning note: Well another chapter. And this time I'm using "Going Away to College" which is another song by blink-182. I dunno if I did my best on this chapter....but I tried! And..the PG-13 rating? I don't think it's that much in this one.








*Please take me by the hand
It's so cold out tonight
I'll put blankets on the bed
I won't turn out the light
Just don't forget to think about me
And I won't forget you
I'll write you once a week she said*


Quistis stood in the entrance way of Zell's dorm. "Zell?" She walked further into the room, then froze. She tried to shake off her next reaction, but without any luck. She screamed as loud as humanly possible. "Zell?!" she put a hand over her mouth. There was a moment of silence before she walked even further into the room.


*Why does it feel the same
To fall in love and break it off
And if young love is just a game
I must have missed the kick off
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything
But I'd go through hell for you and
I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place,but you're so beautiful to me*


"Oh fuck.." Quistis stopped at the sound of Zell's voice. "Quistis?! What.." He trailed off, knowing how all this must look. And it was the truth. "Zell, we're you going to?" Zell glanced at the rope swaying around. He had moved back one of the ceiling panels and tied it around one of the water pipes. Then he looked to the chair. (* From the desk right next to him*) It seemed easy to say he was just a few minutes ago, but now he couldn't admit he was going to. "Quistis, I.." "Just tell me." Zell looked over to her. She was on the verge of tears, and Lord knows if he could handle her crying. "Yeah, I was. But I can explain it!" Quistis nodded and bit her lip. "It was all you." Quistis looked up, more shocked by this answer. "Me?! You we're going to kill yourself over me?" Zell nodded. "I can explain that, too. See, when you told me you were gonna leave I decided not to tell you this," Zell walked over to the desk. He opened one of the side drawers, and pulled a small black box from it. "Well, you can probably guess the rest now." "Zell! If you only would have told me!" And with that she lost her concentration and began to cry. "I wouldn't have gone if you had told me you wanted me to stay!" Zell forced a smile. "But you seemed so happy.." "About going there?! No! It's a living hell!" Quistis couldn't help it and let out a small laugh. "I'm sorry." Zell shoved the black box into his pocket and walked over to Quistis. He hugged her pretty tight, but made sure not to suffocate her. "You saved me.." He smiled and kissed her. There was a knock at the door. "Hey, um, let me clean this up. why don't you get that?" Quistis nodded. "Oh," Zell smiled at wiped away her remaining tears. "Don't want it to look too serious." Quistis smiled and hurried to get the door.


*I'll think about the times
she kissed me after class
And she put up with my friends
I acted like an ass
I'd ditch my lectures to watch the girls play soccer
Is my picture still hanging in her locker?
I haven't been this scared in a long time
and I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful*


Quistis opened the door. "WHOLY MONKEYS! Are you okay?!" It was Selphie. "Yes...why?" Selphie looked puzzled. "Then what was up with that scream?" (Great!) Quistis couldn't come up with much of an excuse for that one. she never usually screamed when she saw Zell after a long time, so that one was out of the question. "Um, well.." Zell walked up behind Quistis. (I know!) "See..Zell just asked me..to..marry him!" Quistis smiled. "WHAT!?" Zell practically screamed. "Wholy fuzzy monkeys! He did?!" Selphie was jumping up and down. "Er, yeah.." Zell put in, afraid Quistis might beat him if he didn't. "AHHHH! Can I see the ring? Is it nice?" Quistis couldn't actually answer that, considering she been able to see it yet. "Go ahead, Zell. Show her." Quistis grinned. Zell pulled the case from his pocket and flipped it open. "TA-DA?" Selphie screamed. "Gibberish! That must have cost a lot!" (My whole life savings..) Zell thought. "Well! I'll just leave you two LOVEY BIRDS alone!" And off she went. Zell shut the door. "Well, since everyone is about to think we're getting married," He carefully took the ring from it's case. "We should go along with it." He slowly slipped it on to her finger. "Perfect fit." She smiled. "Is this just a rental?" Zell grinned. "You never know, I might just let ya keep it." Quistis giggled. "Well," She glanced at her watch. "It's getting late and I have to go check in with Cid. I'll see you tomorrow?" She kissed his cheek. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."


*I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared so here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful*


*Next Day* "QUISTY!" Selphie nearly ran Quistis down. "Hello.." She smiled. "We have tons of planning to do!" Back fire. "But..i have some stuff to do." Selphie frowned. "Forget your job for one day!" Quistis hesitated. "Alright, but I need to go talk to Zell first." Selphie jumped for joy. "See ya in a few!" Quistis continued towards Zell's dorm. "Looks like I won't have to go far.." She noticed Zell talking with a group of his guy friends. "Zell!" she tapped his shoulder. Zell turned around. "Can I talk to you?" Zell smiled back at his guy friends, sort of a "good-bye boys" kinda thing. "Of course." As the two started to walk away Quistis heard some of the guys cheering for Zell or something. (Must be something that guys do..) "Let me guess. The whole garden thinks we're getting married, too? We need to tell them the truth! I mean, Selphie is ready to plan it all!" "Who says it isn't the truth?" Quistis stared blankly at him. "I'll catch ya later, okay? I still have classes, you know." And with that, Quistis was left with her thoughts. (Me getting married? For real?) It was a scary thought for her.


*I haven't been this scared in a long time
And I'm so unprepared to here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody
This world's an ugly place, but you're so beautiful*
