Unfaithful

*Disclaimer* I don't own Final Fanstay 8, the people are Square did, and they are rich because of it, good for them, bad for me.

* Note* Alright, I know I write a lot of the Squall and Rinoa breaking up thing, besides Broken Hearted, I think this one will be good, cause I'm going to put a lot of work into it, like I did Broken Hearted, so sit back and enjoy ^_^

" I am young, but a fool

I am stupid, but I'm cool

I am kind, but I'm weak

I can turn the other cheek

I just can't hide my monster side

I can't control the loss I feel."

Chapter One:: Cold Feet

Rinoa

Rinoa fixed her hair, she looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled slightly, then looked down, biting her lip she glanced up once more. Quistis wasn't lying, she did look good in a wedding dress. Finally she thought brushing the dress down, and making sure it was smooth. Finally Squall and I will be married. It had been a year since they started dating, now they were both 18 and were "ready" to get married. Rinoa sighed and stepped down from the stool and looked directly in the mirror. The room was empty then the door opened slightly, Rinoa turned toward the table and looked for some more make up.

"Quistis, do you know when we are going to start.." Rinoa asked the figure, there was no answer. Rinoa smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, and turned. Not seeing whom she thought it would be not Quistis, not Selphie, but Squall. Rinoa gasped slightly and turned quickly gripping the sides of the table.

"Squall what are you doing?" Rinoa asked quickly, turning to face him again. He looked torn, and depressed. Rinoa grasped her necklace and fiddle with it, when Squall looked at her like that it made her nervous, it was a sign of something bad coming their way, or mostly her way. This fact grew larger due it was their wedding day. Squall frowned looking at Rinoa, he scanned her slowly as if taking a picture, then cleared his throat, his voice shaky.

"Rinoa.." He stated clearly, his voice cracking like a boy on the edge of manhood. Rinoa stepped toward him, frowning now.

"Yes Squall?" She asked slowly, carefully, as if not breaking something. Squall sighed his eyes darting away from hers, then looking back at her firmly.

"I ...I can't do this.." He gulped spilling the words out. Rinoa blinked then jerked her head to the side, had she misunderstood, did she hear wrong?

"What?" She asked looking puzzle. Squall took a step toward her and took her hands in his, holding them gently.

"I can't marry you today.." He said firmly, closing his eyes. Rinoa gasped loudly, her voice full of anguish.

"You can't do this to me Squall, you cant!" Rinoa cried looking at him, searching his eyes carefully. Squall opened them slowly then looked away. Rinoa walked toward him and placed her hands on either side of his cheeks.

"Squall..please.." She said slowly watching him. Squall shivered under her touch and slowly took his hands with hers, and pulled them off his face.

"I'm sorry Rinoa, I can't let you marry me, and I can't." He finished, his body shaking slightly, Squall turned for the door. Rinoa grasped his arm.

"Squall please, for the love of god, you can't do this to me. Don't you love me? Was it all a lie?" Rinoa asked holding onto Squall for dear life. Squall let out a shaky sigh and looked forward.

"I do love you Rinoa.." He started, Rinoa cutting him off.

"Then why are you doing this to me?!" Rinoa cried turning him to face her. Squall looked surprised, then ran his hand down the side of her cheek, his eyes were so sad.

" Cause I don't want to hurt you.." He nodded slowly.

"You don't want to hurt me Squall Leonhart, what do you think your doing right now!!!" Rinoa cried.

"Please understand Rinoa." Squall tried to comfort her, but Rinoa pushed him and slapped him across the face. Squall stood there stunned looking at Rinoa, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"If you leave, if you walk out of that door, it's over Squall." She said quietly, her voice was cracking with emotion. Squall sighed and walked toward her, took his hand with hers. He opened Rinoa's hand and placed his ring in it. Squall's eyes were watering, he closed her fist around the ring, and Rinoa let of a bellow of despair. Rinoa fell to her knees, and watched Squall walk to the door, open it and walk out. Rinoa pounded her fists against the floor, crying now, uncontrollable. The man she loved, the only man she ever gave herself up, had left their wedding as if it was a strangers party, not telling why, not even telling her that he still loved her, and maybe that he needed time. No, he had just left.

Squall

He leaned against the door of Rinoa's dressing room, and covered his mouth with his hand, controlling his cries. Tears dripping down the side of his face, his whole body was shaking, and he was letting out quiet gasps. He had to get out of this place, away from this scene, away from this door, where he knew on the other side was a women he loved, that he had just hurt. Squall glanced down the hallway and ran toward it, pushing past people, familiar faces that he had no time to stop and say hello to. Zell's voice was ringing after him "Where are you going?". Squall didn't know where he was going, he just knew he had to get away. He had to do it, he thought. It was the right choice Squall, she'll be thanking you later, yeah, later, after she is done crying. Squall hated that last part of the sentence. She'll be fine, she would have been miserable with me. Squall thought pushing open the doors. Squall ran past confused faces toward the Balamb train station, he slid in front of the ticket booth. Reached into his pockets, and found no money. Squall pushed past the guards and sat down in the train. It puffed out its last bit of spoke and started moving slowly, jerking now and then. Squall looked out the window, at the Garden, where he had just been, ready to walk down the path to doom. Squall jerked his head away from the window, Irivine, Zell, and Selphie were chasing the train, chasing him. Squall looked back at them, their faces focused and shocked. Squall leaned back again, breathing out a loud sigh. He didn't want them to stop him, he wasn't doing it because of "Cold Feet" He loved Rinoa without a doubt, he would die for her. But something had been eating at his mind, the simple fact, that he, Squall was never able to express his feelings, that his father had lost someone he loved so dearly, Squall didn't want that, he didn't want to lose Rinoa. She's too good for me anyway, Squall thought sadly looking out toward the garden one last time, before the train disappeared into the underground subway, leading to timber, and places behind.
