~Secret Meeting and Not So Secret Heart Brake~
Squall took one look at Zell then he read the letter.
Dear Squall,
Hey. There's something I really need to tell you. It's important and I need to get it off my chest before I go insane. So please meet me at the secret area at around eight. Thank you. I can't wait to see you there.
Love always,
Rinoa
Squall didn't know what to do. His heart yearned to see Rinoa. He had to see her, even if it was for a second. He needed to hold her, feel her soft warm skin touching his, stroke her raven brown hair, he just needed her. He wasn't going to let Seifer stop seeing her just that once.
"Zell, I'm going to meet her. I have to see her. This might be my last chance to really talk to her." Squall was very serious. "Well then go. I just don't want either of you getting hurt. That's the last thing I want. So go…and what you do is up to you. But you're going to have to let her go, I know it sounds harsh but you have to. It's for the best." Squall gave Zell a blank stare. "I know…" Zell got up and put his hand on Squall's shoulder. "Dude, it'll be alright. You'll get the girl in the end, but in the mean time…just back off." Squall knew Zell was right. "Zell, I have to go clear my head a little." Squall got up without saying a word and left.

"Selphie, are you sure that I should do this? What if it all blows up in my face? I'll feel like a fool…"
"A fool in love," Selphie mumbled to herself. "What was that Selphie?"
"I said don't worry. It'll be fine, OK sweetie? Just go out there and look beautiful as you always do and go get your man!" Selphie and Rinoa both laughed. "I guess you're right Selph."
"I know I'm right, Rin. Well it's almost eight. You'd better get going. And don't worry, I'll be waiting for you when you get back like I always do. I know you'll have good news or me." Rinoa gave Selphie a quick hug. "Well wish me luck," and with that Rinoa grabbed her coat and left.

"Well Squall…It's about that time. I guess I really do have to tell her that I can't be with her. She was the only thing I had going for me…I mean I have no family, and apparently I have no life to be talking to myself like this."
Squall laughed silently to himself. He knew that, that would be the last laugh he'd have for a while. He got up and made his way to the secret area.
He got there surprisingly quick. When he got there he found Rinoa looking over the balcony. He just stared at her until she finally realized that some one was behind her. Squall thought she looked beautiful. He was going to save that image of Rinoa in his head for ever. After a few moments Rinoa spoke up.
"Hey Squall. I'm glad you're here, there's something I've been wanting to tell you…" Squall felt as if his heart was being ripped out and stomped all over on. Rinoa began speaking again and she knocked out all of the thoughts in Squall's head. He was focused on her and only her.
"Squall, last night was one of the best nights of my life. I think I've fallen for you…what I'm trying to say is that I think that you could be the one. I think we can have a wonderful, loving relationship together. We could make this work, and I think that it'll defiantly be worth it."
Squall immediately grabbed Rinoa, and drew her into a passionate kiss similar to the first one they shared. When there kiss was over Squall gently put his hands on Rinoa's shoulders. He knew what he had to do next, and the thought was killing him.
"Rinoa…as much as I want to…I can't. I can't love you…it's complicated at the moment. It's not that I don't want a relationship, but I can't have one…with you. I wish I could. I'm sorry. Please don't hate me for this." Squall felt sick to his stomach, and Rinoa's heart was shattered into millions of pieces. It was as if her whole world was crashing down on her. She couldn't believe it. Was she not good enough for Squall? She didn't what to think. "What? Squall…why?" She was beginning to cry. "Rinoa I'm so sorry…"
"I-I-I have to go." Squall grabbed her. He didn't want things to end like this. "No, I have to leave now." Rinoa forcefully got out of Squall's touch and ran. "RINOA WAIT!" He was too late. Rinoa was running out of the training center not worried about danger, and crying hysterically.
Squall stood there…alone, as he was always meant to be. And for the first time, in a long time, he began to cry.
A/N: I know…it's a little sad. But things will get better. The real action won't be starting until at least another chapter. Well I hope you enjoyed this one. Thanks. Bye.
