Hello-chapter 2
A/N: I'm well aware of that this fic is totally screwed up. It's really hard to read, I've written
to fanfiction.net and tried to get them to change it.
Irvine opened his eyes. Was it just a dream? He was not sure of anything anymore. But
Selphie was dead, it was a fact. I wish that I was the one who was dead, he thought. Then he
decided to go away. To somewhere far away. Some place where people didn't know neither
him, nor Selphie. But where? He looked at a map. Maybe Deling City? No, it was too close to
Timber. Balamb? Too small. Shumi Village? No, they probably wouldn't let any strangers
move in there. Maybe he could move to some cottage in a forest near the East academy
station? Or Fisherman's horizon? No, It had to be a city. City? Then he came to think of
Esthar. It was the biggest city in the world. Nobody would recognize him there. They would
leave him alone for sure. So he sat in his car and drove over Fisherman's bridge all the way to
Esthar. He saw the enormous city. How was he supposed to find an apartment here? They
were probably really expensive. He drove to a hotel called "Esthar Park". He sat down on a
chair in the room, thinking about Selphie. He couldn't think of anything else. He still wished
that he would have died instead. He took a walk around town. He went to the mall. It was the
first time he had ever visited a mall without Selphie.
- Can you please remodel my whip?
Whip? He turned around. He could only see her from behind, she was of middle-lenght, had
shoulder-long blond hair and she wore a red top and a denim skirt. A blonde who dresses in
red and uses a whip. Stupid GF's! They make you forget so much. But now when she was
standing there in front of him, he remembered.
- Quistis!
- Yes…
The blonde turned around and faced him.
- Hello Irvine. It's been a long time.
- Yes…
He looked down into the ground.
- What is it?
- Selphie is gone. She died a week ago in that train accident.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
A tear rolled down Quistis' cheek. Selphie was dead. Gone.
- Do you want to come over to my apartment to drink some tea and talk a little?
- Okay.
They walked over to Quistis' apartment, which was quite close to the mall. The apartment had
only two rooms, but they were very well-cleaned. Irvine sat down in the kitchen.
- Is it okay with Earl grey?
- Yeah, sure.
Quistis made the tea. She sat down at the table.
- Where are you staying?
- At "Esthar Park Hotel"
- Okay… so you haven't got an apartment?
- No… I've tried to find one, but it's tough.
- I know, I rent this one from my aunt who lives in Balamb.
Irvine looked at Quistis. She was so beautiful. But then again, he felt terrible for looking
at another girl like that when Selphie had just died. Selphie was of course the love of his
life, the one that he had settled down with. Irvine started crying when all these memories
came back. Quistis held him. The young man cried against the woman's shoulder. He
thanked Quistis for the tea and went out in the night.
