*Disclaimer* I don't own Final Fantasy 8, and instead of poking fun at it, I'm trying to make a serious story here. So, don't sue, I own nothing. Seriously...

"All you need is love"

Rinoa was jogging down the Garden halls, she knew it now. She knew now that she couldn't be with anyone else, anyone but Squall. She whipped her lips, those sick sinful lips had tried to get Seifer into bed with her, but she realized that she wanted her first time to be spent with Squall no one else. She turned the corner, there she saw him, walking down the hallway with his hands in his pockets.

"Squall!!" Rinoa cried after him.

Squall stopped in his tracks and turned around looking at Rinoa, kind of in shock and surprised.

"Yes Rinoa?" Squall sighed, he had been through enough the last couple of days, and Rinoa talking to him wasn't on his want-to-do list. He turned toward her shrugging his shoulders waiting for her to say something to him. Rinoa bit her lip, then looked down quickly.

"I uh..." Rinoa started, she looked back up at him. Squall nodded slowly.

"You uh..what?" He asked quickly, he was being rather rude, and he knew it. Rinoa sighed walked up to him, and jumped into his arms planting her lips on his. Now Squall was ready for this, so Rinoa had to pull him into the kiss slightly, she giggled slightly. Squall seemed to catch on rather fast, he wrapped his arms around her kissing her back. Down the hall 8 eyes peered down at them.

"Yeah...operation Squall-Needs-to-get-some has been completed.." Irivine mumbled behind the wall.

"We aren't calling it that Irivine.." Quistis sighed loudly.

"Dude, you guys shut up they might see us.." Selphie mumbled.

"They're only see us if your boyfriend doesn't take off his stupid cowboy hat.." Zell growled.

"Hey, Cowboy hats are coming back baby..." Irivine said quickly.

"Right..." Quistis, and Zell said at the same time. They turned their attention back to Squall and Rinoa. Squall had gently pushed Rinoa against the wall, but this made a loud thud noise.

"Wow... somebody's being kinky..." Irivine laughed, Selphie hit him. Squall and Rinoa parted and looked down the hall. It took them both time to understand who was talking, their were very dazed. Rinoa laid her head against Squall's chest.

"Go away..." Squall said lowering his head , and narrowing his eyes.

"Eep!" Selphie cried, and they all dashed away. Squall turned his attention back to Rinoa.

" You can't keep doing this to me Rinoa, kiss me like this then turn around and act like it doesn't mean a thing.." Squall said lowering his head slightly kissing her gently on the lips. Rinoa smiled as he pulled away. He sure has changed, he'd never kiss me a year ago, only when we were alone, and never like this. It was like he never wanted me, and now he was like a little freshman boy wanting nothing but to touch the girl, kiss the girl, yet he had the mind and the control of an adult. Rinoa thought happily.

"I know, I'm sorry Squall, I just didn't want to get hurt again.." Rinoa's voice trailed off. Squall stroked her cheek.

"I won't hurt you ever again, I promise." Squall said with sternness in his voice. I won't let her down, no matter what happens, I'll never let her down again. Rinoa smiled and interlocked her arm with his. They walked down toward Squall's room and she spent the night with him. Her body had wanted Seifer, out of lust, but with Squall it was love, they made love that night.

God Help the Outcast

The next couple of months were like heaven. One day , Squall and Rinoa were walking down the street when they reached a rose bush. Rinoa was carrying her camera, she carried it everywhere, and Squall had to accept that. She had given up the article, and the newspaper let go of the fact that the garden was here to stay.

"It's so nice outside.." Squall mumbled looking around. His hand was interlocked with Rinoa's till she pulled away to point to a rose bush.

"Oh, Squall look, it's perfect and I don't have a single good picture of you.." Rinoa smiled looking at him. Squall frowned.

"I hate pictures.." He growled.

"I know, but still I don't have a single good one.." Rinoa pleaded.

" What about that one from last year's garden ball.." Squall offered.

"You were tripping Irivine, that's not a good picture that's an evil picture.." Rinoa giggled. Squall sighed giving in, they walked over to the bush.

"All right stand right...there..." Rinoa pointed in front of the bush. Squall stepped there and posed. Rinoa nodded, backing up to gain focus, she stepped in the street trying to get focus.

"All right, looking good...Squall smile.." Rinoa said quickly moving the camera about. Squall sighed smiling slightly, till a round orange disk came and hit him in the head.

"Ouch..." Squall looked down at the disk, then backward glaring at the person who threw it. Rinoa was laughing so hard, she wasn't paying attention to the oncoming car, and the oncoming car's driver wasn't paying attention to her. Squall bent down and tossed it back, then looked forward. His face turned to horror, as he ran toward Rinoa.

"RINOA!" Squall screamed bolting at her. Rinoa stopped laughing and turned her head to the left. All of this was going on in slow motion for Squall, he saw her face turn to horror, and her mind froze on the dot. Squall shoved her out of the way then turned his head just in time to be struck by the car. His back hit the glass, and he tumbled over the top of the car, and down the back. Squall hit the ground with a loud cry, then was still. Rinoa sat up, and quickly stumbled up running to him.

"Squall..." She whimpered looking at her fallen knight, he had a terrible cut over his eyebrow, and it was bleeding badly. His body was twisted about, and his face was full of pain. She stroked his cheek, her eyes filling with tears.

"Squall...answer me please..." Rinoa cried out. The car that hit Squall slowly halted to a stop, then the figure stepped out of the car. The young blonde man, with the scar on the opposite side of Squall's stared down at horror at his old rival.

"Oh my god..." Seifer gasped bolting toward Rinoa and Squall. He bent down quickly scanning Squall's body.

"Oh my god.." Seifer said again. Rinoa rose her head looking around at the crowd of people around them.

"SOMEONE CALL SOMEONE!" She cried frantically. They all just stood there pitying this young woman.

"ARE YOU ALL FUCKING DEAF! CALL SOMEONE DAMN YOU ALL!" Rinoa cried again, her tears full of sorrow and pain.

"...Rinoa.." Squall croaked slowly, he coughed sending out blood. The ambulance had pulled up, and man were hurry about.

"Squall...shh.. you'll be ok...it be ok.. Squall why did you do this? You shouldn't have pushed me out of the way.." Rinoa chocked out tears falling on Squall's face.

"It's...fine..I..wanted..to." Squall let out a loud cry after this, the doctors were moving him onto the stretcher. Rinoa took Squall's hand and got into the ambulance with him. Seifer tried to get in, but Rinoa blocked his way.

"Get the fuck out of my sight you bastard..before I kill you.." She glared at him, her eyes filled with tears, and hate. Seifer just stepped back and watch the car drive off, with his ex rival and his ex girlfriend.

"I killed him....I finally defeated ...Squall..." Seifer chocked on these words, and he bent down pinching his eyes with his index finger and thumb trying to make the tears go away.

*God, I bet you all hate me now don't you...I'm going to get a million reviews that say NOOOOOOOOOO you bastard, maybe threats *eep* from you guys. well DON'T WORRY the twisted British child wont leave you hanging!!*
