This chapter should be longer than the last, there's not going to be any Seifer in it yet… Don't blame me if it sucks, I'm sitting here in my living room listening to some old songs, Dolphins Cry, Tears in Heaven, and so on… I'm freezing and in a pair of sleepers that my mom made, not for me, but they're BIG… And I'm sleepy but I'm not allowed to go back asleep! *Glares at mom*

Chapter 8 - Un-certain



She was so confused, should she chose on of her children over her husband? "Oh dear…"

"Matron? Where's Cid and Squall?" Irvine asked as he walked up to the distressed woman.

"Are you all right Matron?' Selphie asked.

"Cid wouldn't care, he would say it was for the better…" Edea said sitting down. "He hasn't forgiven Seifer yet, he still holds hard feelings toward him."

"What do you mean? Wouldn't Cid be one of the people to forgive him the most?"

"No, he wouldn't… I told him everything about what had happened when we were possessed, even the worst parts that I regret so much…"

"What do you mean?" Zell asked confused, what was she talking about? Why was she rambling on?

"If you had all seen how hard he fought against Ultemicia, against me… oh how you would forgive him so easily…" She rambled tears in her eyes.

"Matron what are you talking about? What do you mean he fought against you?" Selphie asked worried now for Matron.

"When we were possessed, he fought so hard against her, he tried so hard to break the spell she had on him. He saved me from going insane, Ultemicia put all of her time in him, leaving me alone for a long time… he saved me you know?" She said so confused, she wanted none of this; she just wanted everything to be normal, her and Cid and her children all happy.

"Matron…. We need to get him some help…" Irvine said as he put a hand on her shoulder in a comforting attempt.

"Yes we do, but we do not need to tell Cid… he would not understand… but we will have to tell Squall… yes we will have to do that." She said getting up an d started to wipe her tears away, only succeeding in smearing her mascara and eye liner more than it all ready was.

"Come here Matron, I'll fix that for you" Selphie said as she pulled a cloth from her purse and started to fix her eyes. "Irvine, Zell, can you go inform Squall?"

~(~ _____________________________________________________________________________ ~)~

"So your telling me, Seifer is allowing himself to get beat up and he might be hurting himself?" Squall asked rubbing his temples, he had a major Migraine coming on.

"Yeah, that's basically it, and we're like worried about him hurting himself." Raijun said to Squall.

"I'll have to talk to him about this, and thank you Raijun, I know your worried about your friend."

"Thank you, ya know, cause he's like changed, ya know. And for the better, ya know." Too many 'Ya knows' Raijun was nervous.

"SUFFURING" Fujin said in her loud voice. "needs help" She said more quietly.

"Yes I agree with you there Fujin, he does need help… but he's refusing it from the psychologists, maybe you could talk to him, see what's going on through his head?"

"Fazes out" Fujin answered sadly.

" What do you mean Fazes out?" Squall asked thinking about the last conversation he had had with Seifer. It had been weird… it was obvious that he had changed, but was it for the better? He had found out that Seifer was looking up books on PTSD, and stuff like that. Was Seifer suffering from that or was it something else?

"We'll be talking to him and all of a sudden he just fazes out and doesn't hear you, like he blanks out, ya know?" Raijun answered finding it hard to explain it.

"He does that when we talk to him too… Where is Seifer right now?" Squall said as their was a knock on his door and then it opened and Zell and Irvine were in the room.

"Infirmary, he was beat up by Simon Baker." Irvine said looking at Raijun and Fujin. Odd couple.

"I know you like running Zell, but I was having a conversation with Raijun and Fujin…" Squall said with a slight smile. He was about to resign his Headmaster duties he wanted to be a normal 18 year old, this was too much stress for him, let Cid have it.

"Well we kind of over heard what you were discussing and that's what we came here to talk to you about…" Zell said sheepishly.

"So, he is allowing himself to beat up?"

"Yeah, unless the reason he was in the infirmary the first time wasn't fixed or whatever." Irvine said.

"Squall Matron's getting messed up with all this, Cid hasn't forgiven Seifer yet and he tells Matron just as much… she doesn't know what to do." Zell said sadly, he was worried about Matron and Seifer.

"I knew it, Cid always told me he had forgiven Seifer, and now he's saying that it would be good for me if I act like a normal 18 year old," Cid was pissing him off. "Okay as I was telling Raijun and Fujin, he's not cooperating with the psychologist too much so we need to try and get him to talk about how he's feeling… Then we can figure out how to help him, cause truthfully I have no idea what to do." Squall explained shaking his head.
