Arrow Through My Heart
After Rinoa left the hotel, Squall stood dumbly next to the bed. Everything suddenly flooded into him. Rinoa wasn't his anymore. She was gone. He could never fill the space she left him in his heart now. His heart was pierced with an invisble arrow. Tears swelled up in his eyes but he couldn't cry now. He would lose if one single tear dropped. He rubbed his eyes quickly and discovered Angelo lying on it's stomach with pain Rinoa gave it. Squall petted it gently and caressed it.
"Thanks pal. I'll take care of you now."
Angelo whined few times and got back onto its feet. Soon it was able to walk. Squall and Angelo walked back to Balamb Garden. His deep pain wasn't revealed to anyone..yet. He walked to his dormitory depressed and lie down on his bed. Few minutes later, the he heard a knocking sound. It was Quistis.
"Where's Rinoa? What happened?"
She looked concerned, and Squall couldn't hide his pain in his eyes. Clever girl she was, and it was only seconds before she realized what happened. She sat down next to his bed and sighed.
"I wasn't expecting that.. That's alright. There's many fishes out in the sea, and for you, you're the skillful handsome fisherman."
Squall sighed too and got up. Why can't she leave me alone? he thought. Then he realized again. He was being selfish. No wonder Rinoa left him. He sighed again.
"For once, you're right. I should find someone else. That fucken slut doesn't deserve me."
Quistis found this surprising since Squall had always said whatever or remained silent. She wondered how could Rinoa open him up so much and just leave him? But she had other things in mind, and she couldn't let Squall's problem get in her way. She just nodded and decided to leave Squall alone to think.
"Well, good choice. Very good. I'll be going now."
After Quistis left, Squall sighed for the third time. He couldn't understand why Rinoa has done such a horrible thing to him. He got up and walked to the cafeteria slowly, and bumped into someone holding stacks of books. It was the pig tail haired librarian, Adrianna.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. I couldn't see my front with all these books and stuff. Excuse me."
Squall smiled at her mischief. Soon his smile faded away. He smiled? He had become a different person now. He never smiled. Especially at girls. Perhaps another love? He wondered. He shook his head and walked to cafeteria, expecting to see annoying Zell with his hotdogs. When he swung the door open, he saw a mob gathering around and murmuring. He quickly shouted.
"This is Squall, the SeeD leader. Dismiss now. I will take car of this problem!"
Everyone backed up, but stayed to see. There in the middle, Zell was sprawled on the floor and his face was pale. Squall examined him. Seemed like he was choking. He quickly pushed Zell's chest fast. Soon, a piece of sausage went flying from his mouth and he opened his eyes. Adrianna came running to Zell.
"Zell! Are you alright? What happened? I told you not to eat so many hotdogs at once! Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
Squall smiled bitterly at the scene. It turned out after all, that the person he also thought was in love liked someone else. But he didn't want to back up. He was going to stick to what he liked now. Just then an announcement flowed through out the garden by Xu.
"A..Attention! Squall Leonhart report to the command room immediately!"
Squall put his hand on his hips. Not again, he thought. He didn't stop to think for a minute that Xu sounded pretty shaken. He ran to the elevator and soon reached the Command Room in no time. Xu was there with expression he couldn't decipher. It looked like anger, grief, love, and hatress mixed together. Squall had never seen her like this before. She was always calm and orderly. She opened her mouth several times, but choked back with tears. She finally managed to choke out few words including tears.
"Head.master Cid..sick.. deadly.. rebellion..now..Timber."
Squall had hard time deciphering this messege, but when he did, he was almost sorry he did.
"Headmaster Cid is sick and it's deadly. And now there's a rebellion going on in Timber when our headmaster is clinging dearly for his life. Is that what you're saying?"
Xu nodded. Squall bit his lips. Timber.. the first mission. The first place he'd gotten familiar with Rinoa. He nodded and reassured Xu that everything was going to be okay. He took the microphone from her trembling pale hands and announced.
"Zell Dincht, Selphie Tilmitt, and Quistis Trepe! Get Ready for a huge mission to Timber. Pack now. Irvine Kinneas, Seifer Almasy! Guard the Garden while I'm gone. Dr.Kadowaki! I believe in you with Headmaster Cid. Matron, Take care. We'll be having a final party for Headmaster Cid and our departure for Timber."
Everyone murmured once again. Soon everyone scattered to do their job. Zell, Quistis, and Selphie equiped everything right, and Seifer and Irvine got busy with getting everyone ready in case of emergency. Dr.Kadowaki silently asked questions to Headmaster Cid now and then. Cid was lying down on the Infirmary bed breathing heavily, Matron on his side holding his hand tightly and her face paler than usual. Cid's face was unbelievable purple and swollen. Others got ready for the party in grief.
