Chapter 4:: The aftermath
" Every now then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you need you more then ever And if you only hold me tight We're be holding arms forever And we're only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together I really need you tonight Forever is going to start tonight" " Once upon a time, I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart. Once upon time there was light in my life But now only love in the dark"
Seifer and Squall sat up slowly looking around Quistis dorms, where the men were taken so they could be cured, without questions, and without any dentations. Squall glared toward Seifer, as Quistis circled him looking at his wounds. Rinoa was circling Squall shaking head disapproval.
"What? Do I have something on me, that you just can't stand?" Squall asked watching her carefully. She turned slightly noticing he was up. She frowned and stepped toward him, reaching out her hand and placing it on his forehead. He closed his eyes to her touch, it made him shiver slightly, Rinoa rubbed his forehead until he cried with pain.
"OW!" Squall said sharply shoving her hand away from him. Rinoa sighed and stepped back, shot a look at Irivine who just shrugged.
"Well Quistis how is he?" Rinoa asked Quistis looking toward her. Squall picked up the note of kindness and normalness in Rinoa's voice. Wait a min..
"What was that?" Squall asked quickly looking at Rinoa. Rinoa turned toward him and blinked.
"What's what?" She asked looking back at Quistis as if she did something that Rinoa didn't seem, Rinoa looked back at Squall, still a puzzled look on her face.
" Why are you being so ..friendly toward her." Squall added darkly, Quistis seemed to jerk slightly as if the words had actually hit her. Rinoa cleared her throat glaring at Squall.
"If you weren't so beat up, I would slap you right now." Rinoa stated nodding, as she put a wet wipe on his face. Squall jerked away looking at her in shock.
"What do you mean by that?!" He snapped looking from person to person. Rinoa sighed and pushed her hand deep into Squall's shoulder, this caused a jerk, a yell, and he was back leaning back. Squall glared at Rinoa as she fixed his face up. Seifer winced slightly as Quistis patted his cuts.
"I don't understand what the hell is going on here, everyone being so nice to the two cents whore all of the sudden.." Squall said looking upward. Before Squall knew it Seifer was over him, and Irivine and Zell were holding him back.
"Take it back." Seifer growled, Squall raised his eyebrows watching Seifer, he'd never seen him so mad before, Squall was actually a little scared. Squall pushed Seifer back and stood up, his face meeting his.
"NO! I won't take it back, she ruined my fucking life you know that, I know that, I'll never forgive her.." Squall snapped glaring at Quistis.
"I did.." Rinoa muttered looking away. Squall turned his back to Seifer looking at Rinoa.
"Oh you're kidding right?" He asked laughing slightly looking to Seifer then to Quistis. Rinoa's head shot up.
"No I'm not joking Squall.." She said clearly. Squall stomped looking furious.
"YOU CAN FORGIVE HER, BUT YOU CAN'T FORGIVE ME? YOU CAN'T BRING YOURSELF TO FORGIVE ME? HUH?!" Squall boomed looking to each person in the room.
"I CAN FORGIVE HER, BECAUSE SHE'S MY FRIEND!" Rinoa snapped looking at Squall with such a loathing. Squall laughed cruelly.
"Yeah.. whatever... You can forgive her for being in the same bed with me, but you can't forgive me right?" Squall asked tilting his head to the side. He walked around her, leaning into her ear responding to his own question.
" You were my boyfriend Squall, that's a whole different thing.." Rinoa nodded looking at Squall. Squall kept going on, as if he didn't hear her.
"Oh yeah, because she was drunk.. mhmm, that's fair, oh wait but I was too, but that's fine we can stay mad at Squall, he doesn't matter, and who gives a damn huh?" Squall looked around the room.
"I mean come on, Squall has no feelings right? Rinoa's just the perfect little angel that can forgive anyone, but the cruel lion, right?!" Squall snapped turning toward her.
"You're an ass you know that." Rinoa stated, Squall rose his hand up quickly making her stop.
"Answer the question Rinoa:: You can forgive her, but not me? Now why is that? Hmm why is that, I just want to know, is that such a crime?" He looked around the room once more as if seeing if anyone objected. Everyone adverted their eyes from the scene, but Rinoa's gasping answer sent their eyes back toward the broken hearted lovers.
"Cause.. you were .. you were.. never physical with me Squall, I needed to be held, to be touched, to be loved.." Rinoa gasped covering her eyes slightly. Squall stood there staring at her.
"I loved you...how can you say that I didn't love you, that's a fucking lie and you know it!" Squall snapped pointing down to the ground. Rinoa walked toward him pushing him hard in his sore chest, Squall grabbed her arms firmly and held her.
" You never showed it Squall, you never fucking showed it, so don't start with me, about loving me you asshole!" Rinoa struggled in his grip. Seifer stood up quickly glaring at Squall.
"Let her go Squall." Seifer snapped glaring at her. Squall jerked his head toward Seifer then let Rinoa go smirking.
" Oh sorry Seifer, I touched your girlfriend, have her. But don't do anything ever wrong, she'll never ever forgive her.." Squall added looking at Rinoa.
"She's not his girlfriend.." Quistis added looking away from Squall. Squall jerked his head toward her direction.
"Are you talking?" Squall asked smirking.
" Leave her alone Squall.." Irivine stepped forward looking at Squall. Squall shot him a dirty look.
"What are you going to do cowboy?" Squall snapped, then shot Quistis a dirty glare.
" Take it back.." Seifer stated slowly. Squall looked at him smirking then glanced around.
"You're joking right?" Squall didn't bother hiding his laughter.
" Take it back.." Seifer repeated with more force in his voice. Squall jerked his head slightly looking at Seifer.
"No.." He stated finally. It was over in seconds, before Squall knew it, he was on his back, and looking up at Seifer, who was holding Irivine's gun directly between Squall's eyes. Seifer cocked it glaring at Squall.
" Take it back, or I'll..." Seifer started.
"You'll what?" Squall grumbled watching the gun carefully. Seifer moved the gun to the side and fired, the sound and the vibration made Squall jerk up slightly, Seifer pushed him back to the ground, placing his foot on Squall's chest. Squall glanced at the bullet hole into the ground, then back at Seifer. He leaned up and narrowed his eyes.
"I won't forgive her, ever. You know I won't. She ruined my life, she ruined everything I had with Rinoa, everything." Squall choked on his words. Rinoa stomped forward.
"IT WASN'T JUST HER WAS IT SQUALL!" Rinoa screamed at the top of her lungs, the entire room went quiet watching her. Rinoa bent down looking at Squall carefully.
"You hear me, it wasn't just her. Did she stop you from kissing me, making love to me? No she did not. Stop blaming everything on her damn it, it was half your fault to, you were the other naked half you know. Now if you don't forgive her and Seifer blows your brains out you can die knowing that I don't love you.." Rinoa stated quickly, her insides gave a kick, that was crying out BULLSHIT. Squall glanced at the gun, then back at Rinoa.
"Fine.." He mumbled. Seifer glared at him, pressing hard into Squall's chest. Squall let out a cry of pain, and Rinoa smacked Seifer's arm. Squall stood up slowly tilting from side to side. Damn it, it's true, it is half of my fault, I've been such an ass.. Squall said looking toward Quistis. Seifer tossed the gun toward the sleeping body of Irivine, and Zell who was checking his pulse.
"Little Drastic eh Seifer?" Zell snapped glaring at Seifer. Seifer just ignored him and stepped toward Quistis. Quistis smiled, and looked down blushing. Seifer smiled and lifted her chin up , meeting his eyes with hers. They both leaned in and kissed, Quistis wrapping her arms around Seifer's neck. Squall glanced at Rinoa, who was looking toward him. They both turned they're gazing toward Irivine, who was stirring slightly.
"Good.." Zell muttered helping Irivine to his feet. Squall stepped toward Rinoa and stuck out his hand.
"Truce?" He asked timidly watching her carefully, Rinoa half smiled and shook his hand firmly.
"Truce!" She chirped. Squall nodded smiling.
"Only friends Squall, I don't want to get hurt again." She added darkly, Squall blinked slightly. Hurt again, hey you're not the only one who got hurt their Rinoa Squall thought annoyed.
