I don't own Final Fantasy VIII, so sue me...

Brokenhearted, Again.

Chapter One: Alone...

...In his arms again...

...That's how it should stay, right?...

...Apparently not...

Together forever, right? No. I felt a tear slip down my already wet cheeks. Life is just a big hell for me. And when things finally look up, a whole new hell approaches. First the first hell was heart-break, now this one was two times worse than it was before, I'm heart broken and I'm alone. Life is a bitch. Ellone gone. The love of my life...gone. Just like that. Stripped.

The rain fell harder, and I cried harder. Nothing hurts most than having the two people you care most stripped from you. I rubbed the silver band on my right ring finger. This is was my only hope. The only thing that will keep me from dying of grief, right at this moment.

Laguna promised to come back with Ellone, shouldn't that be enough to lift this heavy burden that weighs on my shoulders? The silver band that hugged my finger was his promise, that he'd come back, and we'd be a family. I remember what he told me that night he left.

*~* Flashback*~*

Night had fell, and I was exhausted. Ellone had been missing for 12 hours now. Laguna was beside me, looking for her, also.

" Dammit! Where the hell could she be?!" Laguna asked me, frustrated. I didn't answer. " It wasn't supposed to be like this, we were supposed to be family. I hate this!" Laguna, sat on the soil that was below us.

We searched Winhill. Top and bottom, twice. And now we were in the woods, searching. I was beginning to lose hope. It was almost like someone was out to get me, tear me apart. Who ever it was, they were doing a hell of a job. Forced to be distressed, worried, and tired. Forced to keep a secret lingering in mind, not to come from my mouth. A forced misery. Laguna must of saw the look of hurt and distressed look on my face, because he got up from his sitting position, and put an arm around me. I looked up at his face.

" Don't worry Raine, I'll find her. It's our destiny to be a family, see?" Laguna smiled, blankly.

He took my right hand, and rubbed the silver band on it. " Raine look, this is our destiny. And Ellone may be missing now, but I'll find her. Fate won't be that cruel." Laguna assured me. And somehow, a smile managed to tug at my lips. Laguna then planted a kiss on my lips.

" L-Laguna, there is something I need to tell you." I said, stammering a little.

" Raine, It's going to have to wait..." Laguna replied coldly. " Ellone could be across the world right now! I love that girl, and I'll stop at nothing until I find her!" Laguna proclaimed.

" B-But Laguna!" I pleaded. Laguna took my hand again, and rubbed the band that he gave me, a couple weeks ago. He promised to marry me.

" Raine, this will keep us together, you'll see in the end." Laguna caressed my face.

" Laguna, I'm not following you... what do you plan to do?" I asked.

" I plan to look for Ellone. And I won't come back, until it do." Laguna said softly.

I felt tears run down my face, and I pulled away from him. He was breaking my heart again. But this time he was in the right. " I-I understand..." I said, choking back sobs. Laguna embraced me once again, and I held him back. I don't think I could stand on my own -ever. I held onto Laguna like it was the only thing connecting me to life itself, if I let go, I surly would die...



*~*End of Flashback*~*

Eventually, I did let go, and he left that night.

Alone.

With my secret.

Secret, not for long...

I'm pregnant.
