Ch. 7 Ending Notes
The lights shined brighter from this side of the stage. Rin felt them shimmering off her pale cream dress as she stepped up to the mike.
The nervousness that she felt completely vanished once she stepped onto the stage. A familiar tranquility washed over her and she felt at ease.
She looked around at the silent crowd all their attention on her. The most important person in the crowd to her heart was Squall who smiled encouragingly at her. That was all she needed Rin smiled out to the crowd and started what she had desired to do since she was a little girl, she sang.
Whenever sang my songs On the stage, on my own Whenever said my words Wishing they would be heard
The words she just wrote a few days ago, but it seemed like she knew the song her whole life.
I saw you smiling at me Was it real or just fantasy? You'd always be there in the corner Of this tiny, little bar My last night here for you Same old songs, just once more My last night here for you
She looked over at Laguna behind the bar his jaw was dropped, he looked at Rin as if he never had seen her before.
Maybe yes, maybe no I kind of liked it your way As you shyly place your eyes on me Oh, did you ever know? That I had mine on you
She winked at Squall.
Darling so there you are With that look on your face As if you're never hurt, As if you're never down Shall I be the one for you? Who pinches you softly but sure If frown is shown then I will know that you are no dreamer
Her friends, her friends were all beaming at her giving all the encouragement and strength that nobody before had ever given her.
So let me come to you Close as I want to be Close enough for me To feel your heart beating fast
Rin caught Seifer's gaze on her from the back corner of the room. He could never be more then a friend to her, but there would always be a connection between the two that she couldn't deny. She hoped him the best in life. She gave him a nod of the head which he returned just as he left the bar before anyone could see him.
And stay there as I whisper I loved your peaceful eyes on me Oh, did you ever know That I had mine on you
Her father who she knew would always be there for her if not physically then defiantly mentally. The words were not meant for him, but defiantly reminder her of him and she hoped that they always would.
Darling so share with me Your love if you have enough Your tear if you're holding back Or pain if that's what it is How can I let you know? I'm more than the dress and the voice Just reach out then You will know that you're not dreaming
Rin moved her eyes to the man right in front of her. The love of her life, the one that she cherished with her very being. Words would never be able to express enough how much she truly felt for Squall Lionheart. The one thing that she loved most about him was every ounce of love that she felt towards him she knew that he loved her equally that much back. They had a bond between each other a belief that could never be broken.for him she sang.
Darling so there you are With that look on your face As if you're never hurt As if you're never down Shall I be the one for you Who pinches you softly but sure If frown is sure then I will know that you are no dreamer
She finished, but in a way she didn't. In a way she was only beginning.
Squall hurtled himself onto the stage. He wrapped his arms around her and in front of the crowd which contained friends and family alike they kissed and Rin knew right then what it felt to be found.
The End

Thanks to everyone who read my story and a special thanks to all those who reviewed. Every review helps me grow as a writer and for that I'm very grateful. Always, Leah
