CHAPTER 2

"H-hello Mr. Almasy." Riley stuttered. "Ya, uh have you

Seen Ty?" His breath reeked of alcohol. "I don't know sir, I've been

Studying for the seeD test." She said quietly, half lying. Seifer's eyes were

Cold and heartless. "I think you're lying Ms. Dincht." He said meanly. "No

Sir, Really, I've been studying". Seifer didn't buy it. "You're lying!" He

Began to bring his hand up to hit her. She froze. A hand suddenly caught

Seifer's fist. It was Zell! "Dad!" Riley said in relief. "What the fuck do you

think you're doing Seifer!?" Zell yelled angrily. Seifer simply pushed Zell

Away like a fly. Ty ran out just as Seifer struck Riley's face. She let out a

Small scream. Zell jumped on Seifer's back and tackled him to the ground.

He quickly punched him in the face, knocking him out. "Yo, Squall, You

Better get down to the girls' dorms, NOW" Zell yelled into a small radio.

He stood up and walked over to his frightened daughter. "Let me see" He

Examined Riley's cheek. "Yep, that's gonna leave one hell of a bruise." He

Kissed her forehead. Ty walked up to Riley and Zell. Riley swung around to

Ty. Zell looked at him. "What are you doing here?" Zell asked sounding very pissed.

"Well, I, Uh." Ty stammered. "What the hell?" Everyone's head swung around to see Squall, Rinoa, Danny, Selphie, Irvine, Autumn and Quistis standing over Seifer.

Ty, Riley and Zell stepped out into the hallway. "What happened?" Squall asked.

"This son of a bitch hit Riley!" Zell yelled. "What!? Oh Riley are you alright!?" Quistis ran over to her daughter. "Mom, I'm fine" She mumbled.

The 10 of them stood in silence. "Ahem, Ty, may I ask WHY you were in Riley's dorm AFTER 10:00?" Rinoa asked suspiciously.

Ty gulped. "He was." "No, Ri, I'll tell them." Ty sighed. "Ok, For the past three years, Dad started to drink, at first it was just a little, then every night he'd come home drunk, and." His lip quivered a bit, but he continued. "He blamed me for my mom's death and then.he.he." He couldn't finish. "Ty, what is it? What did he do?" Selphie asked. Ty turned around and lifter his top.

"Oh my god!" Autumn gasped. "He HIT you?" Irivne asked in disbelief. Ty nodded. "And I've known the whole time" Riley said quietly. "Why didn't you tell us?" Squall asked. " I was scared." Ty said quietly. "He would have gone to Danny, but Seifer would have caught on" Riley explained. Everyone nodded.

"What happens now?" Ty asked. "We throw Seifer out of Garden. "Rinoa stated. Ty nodded. "Yeah, Ok, I'm goin' to bed." with that he left, everyone stood not knowing what to say or do..
