ran from the bathroom, fire in my eyes, I was strictly avoided, anyone in my way moved away quicker than lightning.
"What....the....HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?"
I pointed a shaking finger towards Rinoa, who just stood there with a sassy look on her face like, 'Oh yeah, He's mine. Get lost.'
"...Oh. That's HER? Looks like you ran her through once..Look at her!"
She glanced me over once. One bun was drooping sideways, my skirt and tank top was a little scuffled and my boots were slightly on their way to being unbuckled.
"No, That was her own fault, got a little drunk, is all."
"So...You got her drunk so you could..."
I couldn't take it much longer anymore, soon the verbal abuse got to an all out fist fight. Squall just sat back and laughed, I was still angry at him though...After this, I'm out of here. I punched away as hard as I could at Rinoa's skull, knocking her to her feet in a bloody mess.
Colleen, Beth, Jill, Zell, Cloud, Blurr, Seph and Amber all cheered me on, I finished my murder binge with a shove of the gunblade through Rinoa's side. My hands were drenched in blood, I didn't care.
"..Bye."
I stood, not even giving a glance back, I left.
"What's her problem?"
Amber asked Squall, tilting her head to the side, questioningly.
"...Suppose she's mad at me..."
"Why's that?"
"I saw Colleen run into the bathroom.."
"Oh..."
Amber glanced at her feet.
"She'll get over it."
Beth approached silently.
"No she won't..."
Everyone stared at her with "What?" expressions.
"Sarah's more complex than you think, she's held major hatred for that girl y'know. Plus what she did, majorly could of impacted her.."
"How the hell she getting home?"
Zell asked, looking around confused.
"This is twenty minutes from her house, and plus, knowing the situation as it is, she ain't going home."
Seph added, nodding.
Both of my buns started drooping, it was starting to downpour. No one was home at my house when I arrived.
"Good...I can relieve pain without a bother..."
I muttered to myself entering the house, kicking off my boots and throwing my purse over the side of the couch. I ran up to my room, slamming the door. I switched on my stereo to a repetition of Enya's "Only Time". I settled into a corner of my room, reaching into my VHS video rack.
"There it is...."
One, two.. Two slashes were dug into my arm now, i just let them bleed onto my skirt, curbing it slightly from time to time, but I slowly felt better.
"We should go see her..."
Amber blinked, standing outside the club with the others, Squall was on his cell phone trying to contact mine, but I wouldn't go pick it up.
"No...I'm going."
Squall shut off his phone slipping it into his jacket's pocket, a serious look crossing his face.
"...This is my fault, and I'm not getting her friends in the middle of it."
"Alright, please let us know if she's going to be okay..."
Beth said, as she slid into Amber's car.
"Have her call one of us, if she's not dead yet."
Zell snickered, trying to lighten the heavy mood.
"Zell! That wasn't very funny! You know how Sarah gets!"
Colleen replied, smacking him.
Amber and the others drove off, Squall walked in the rain to my house and knocked on the door.
"Sarah..?"
He knocked again, but I didn't answer, he knew the garage's door opener code and punched it in, and entered my house. I heard him climb the stairs, I just lowered my head as he entered my room.
"...You okay..?"
"..No."
"Why not?"
"What do you mean 'Why not?', I saw you and Rinoa!"
I yelled, raising my slashed arm, the blood running down it. He saw it and gasped.
"Sarah...Your arm...was that..."
I didn't speak for a few seconds then replied.
"What...?"
"You know I don't love her."
"But..."
"But nothing, She was doing that to me."
I looked away, the tears brimming my eyes. Squall sighed and wrapped his arms around me. I cried into his shoulder. He lifted me up and carried me to the bathroom, cleaning up and dressing my slashes from the razor blade.
"Damn girl....those were deep..."
"The deeper they are, the deeper my pain.."
I stared up at him, finally calming down.
"Why...did you stop me..?"
"Sarahann...You know I love you. I wouldn't let you do that you know. You go, I go. Remember?"
"Oh...yeah..I do."
Squall smiled weakly as I stood and we walked back to my room.
"Well, since you aren't dead. Your friends want you to call them."
"I'm calling Beth, I'm not into Amber's scream fest of a scolding."
We laughed, and I called Beth to tell her I was okay, but I wasn't going to be leaving the house until my wounds healed. She laughed and agreed, she knew how many times I would be banging my arm around.
Beth called the others, confirming I was fine, they all sounded relieved, and awaited my return to school as soon as the wounds healed.
"Look at you, You ragamuffin!"
Squall poked my side, which made me squeal like a demented pig.
"I am not a ragamuffin! I'm just a little...out of shape!"
I huffed, blowing strands of hair out of my face, pouting.
We stood within the dimness of my room, silent...Suddenly...We just felt this...feeling..My radio died off into the ballad of Celine Dion's "I Drove All Night"...and to keep my story true to it's rating.. Here's the lyrics to the song...to shape the next scene....^^
I had to escape,
The city was sticky and cruel.
Maybe I should have called you first,
But I was dying to get to you.
I was dreaming while I drove,
The long straight road ahead,
Uh-huh, yeah.
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside.
I drove all night...to get to you,
Is that all right?
I drove all night..crept in your room,
Woke you from your sleep, to make love to you,
Is that all right?
I drove all night...
What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go,
I hear the beating of our one heart.
I think about you when the night is cold and dark,
Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room Woke you from your sleep to make love to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night...
I taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that all right?
I drove all night, crept in your room
Is that all right?
I drove all night....
The next morning..I awoke to find Squall sleeping next to me, last thing I remember before I dozed off I just curled up in his arms...and I fell asleep..I awoke now, still coiled within his arms, my hair wasn't bunned anymore, it was down, and quite ragged, I dozed off again, awakening to find him sitting on the edge of my bed, fully dressed.
"Morning, Sleepy head."
I shook my head, grunting sleepily, sitting up.
"...Morning..."
"Whoa, That's a little too much skin for the morning!"
He flung a pillow at me, i covered my bust with it, snorting lightly.
"I'll step out now...You can get dressed."
He nodded, and stepped out into the hall, I dressed quickly, and brushed out my hair, leaving it down for once, then opened the door. Squall stepped back in as I turned to put my bed back in order. My parents were milling around in the next room, my dad emerged smiling lightly.
"He stayed over?"
I nodded sleepily.
"Good...I saw your death tool in the bathroom, so I figured he would be here to comfort you..."
'He saw it? OH GOD! I'm screwed...'
My mind scattered, I zoned and almost passed out.
"Well..."
I snapped awake, to find Squall's hand resting on my shoulder.
"I'm going to go now...I'll see you later, hun."
Gently he placed a soft kiss on my forehead, and hugged me tightly.
I ran to the phone and called Beth. We had fallen into the same boat, we went to the store and picked up a few pregnancy tests...Oh joy.
Back at Beth's house, we stood in the bathroom waiting for the results.
"Beth...What does a blue plus mean...?"
Beth gazed at the package, then at her test, then back at me.
"WE'RE PREGNANT!"
"OH MY GOD!"
"We're gonna both have girls!"
"...and they're gonna be just like us!"
Beth and I threw our arms around each other, bawling.
"...Is everything okay in here?"
Beth's mom knocked at the door.
"Just dandy mother, We're both knocked up!"
We waved our tests at her, glowering.
"WHAT?"
Amber screamed at me from the other end of the phone.
"Yes..."
"This is just GREAT. I get secretly married, and my friends go and get themselves pregnant! You didn't even finish high school yet!"
"Just be glad it's senior year..not like those little 14 year olds..."
"Oh yeah...You're right...Well, I got work to do around the house...and oh, I'm not babysitting!"
I laughed and we exchanged good-byes and I hung up the phone, I called Squall to tell him, he sounded pretty happy, not like those other people on those talk shows...
"You two are staying right here, I'll have your mom send over some clothes, Sarah."
"Okay."
"Both of you, Couch. Now."
We shuffled over to the couch and laid down
"Now you two, everything's changing from here on in, no more going out at night."
We both groaned.
"Well, suffer the consquences, I'm not paying for you two to have an abortion."
I froze, those poor babies..I shuddered, and I decided bear and grin, it might be fun at some point to be a mommy.
...3 months I stayed at Beth's lying on the couch...
"GET THE DOOR!"
We screamed at her brothers who left the door open as they entered, they cringed, saluted us, and closed the door.
That night, we wre in serious pain, so Beth's parents took us to the hospital.
"Oh this is great...I'm pregnant..and doing homework."
I huffed, blowing strands of hair out of my face again, sitting up in my hospital bed.
"Won't this thing come out yet..?"
I stared at my stomach, idly glancing over at Beth, who was sharing the room with me...Everyone decided to tag along, even my good friend Bryan, which was good, I could break two hands in one shot! WHOO HOO!
"I dunno Sarah, We had carried them around for 3 freaking months and crap...".
"Isn't that a little early though?"
Squall had asked, tilting his head.
"Sarah was born 3 months early, a lotta things happened to her, let's hope for the best.."
We all nodded, I had finished my homework and was white-knuckling the bedrail along with Beth....Damn doctors decided to give us some kind of drug to induce the delivery..
"Ow..ow..ow..This....fricking...hurts...like....a mother..."
I threw my head back, screaming at the top of my lungs like a Soprano dunked in water...Squall was there at my side comforting me as I whimpered, Cloud held Beth's hand, she was screaming...things...at him
It was over..Shouts of "It's A Girl!" and "It's a Boy!" filled the room. BOY?! Who got the boy? Nurses passed a pink blanketed baby over to me, I heaved a sigh of relief, I kept inside what I was going to say about the blankets shade. Next thing I knew the blue blanketed baby went to Beth.
"You're supposed to be a girl!!"
I heard Beth scream at the baby, who began to wail.
"Aw, Beth, you made him cry!"
Cloud picked up his son, and shuffled over to me. I squealed and held Celine Rose and Matthew, who had calmed down. They were happily babbling baby talk back and forth, we all found this, extremely funny. The nurses repeated the names of the kids out loud.
"Celine Rose Leonheart and Matthew Strife."
The others were having a ball with the new babies,I sunk down tiredly into the beds mattress after the two babies were taken to the nursery. Everyone was congratuating Beth and I as we contacted our parents, they seemed relieved the babies were healthy even though being born early. I would be getting to go home tomorrow. YAY.
"What....the....HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?"
I pointed a shaking finger towards Rinoa, who just stood there with a sassy look on her face like, 'Oh yeah, He's mine. Get lost.'
"...Oh. That's HER? Looks like you ran her through once..Look at her!"
