Arrow Through My Heart
I just decided to continue a bit more. Two little reviews encouraged me greatly. Heh.
*************
Squall sat down for a moment to think. Why did everything suddenly become worse? Was it his fault? It couldn't be. He didn't do anything. Maybe he did. Maybe he wasn't strong enough to lead the Garden. He shook his head. I'm thinking too much again. Squall's thoughts were blown away when someone knocked loudly. Selphie poked her head through the door way.
"The party is ready. Everyone is down waiting for you and... Headmaster Cid."
Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. Cid meant very important to everyone. If the care-free Selphie cried all night, how did Xu take this? He thought.
"I'll change and go down. I'll bring headmaster Cid with me."
Selphie nodded and ran down. Sounded like she was sobbing. Squall quickly changed into SeeD uniform and went to infirmary. Xu was dressed in short ivory dress that resembled Rinoa's, but had thin transparent piece of clothing draped behind, and a shawl. Her hazel brown hair was curled up and perched on her head. She looked prettier than usual. She should do this everyday, Squall thought to himself again. She was very pale, but no trace of tears. Matron slowly lifted her head and looked at Squall. Her eyes were freezing cold. Eyes as dark as midnight stared at Squall's eyes. Those eyes could possibly even freeze hell. She slowly and painfully opened her mouth. Before she can let out a sound, a streak of tear flowed down her cheek. Then he knew what happened.
"But... he couldn't. He wouldn't! He can't just leave me here to tell everyone else that he passed away! I can't possibly handle those pressure. Hell. no, no NO!!"
Squall lost his cool and ran out. Tears once again swelled up to his eyes but he couldn't cry. But he couldn't tell thoes people! He stepped into the ball. Everyone stopped chattering and silently the tension filled the room. Thousand pairs of eyes stared at Squall. Quistis was wearing a soft orange dress that came down to her ankle and it simmered in light. She stepped up to Squall and put her gloved hand on his shoulder.
"He's gone isn't he..."
Those little words shocked everyone. Soon the whole room filled with tears and crying sounds. Squall was glad that he didn't have to explain anything. Still he felt guilty somehow. Quistis understood Squall and murmured.
"It wasn't your fault. It wasn't..."
Finally a tear escaped through his eyes. That was enough. he wiped it so no one could see him crying. Even Quistis hasn't noticed it. She sighed and patted his back. She still had some business to take care of, so she silently wakled away. Selphie carefully walked up to him.
"It's just some cruel joke isn't it? Why are you playing such a mean joke? Tell me it's not true! Tell me!"
Tears flowed down her cheeks and she leaned her head on Irvine's chest and cried. Irvine didn't really know Cid but he knew how important he was. He held Selphie in his arms trying to sooth her. Squall didn't know what to do anymore. He wished Rinoa was still by his side. Then Angelo came up to him. It whined and rubbed its head against him. I still have Angelo, he thought. He petted Angelo and sighed. He looked for Adrianna, only to find her comforting Zell. Damn him, Squall swore silently. Adrianna was taken. She couldn't be his. He felt dizzy. He didn't know what to do anymore.
"what do I do now?" He asked himself. "Where do I go from here? What do I do?"
*************
Um..okay.. Cid died. That's pretty sad. Yep I know.. Angelo kicking was way too cruel for Rinoa.. ¬ ¬ At least Angelo is Squall's companion now.. By the way at the end, the person who will end up being with Squall is the one you least expect.
