Chapter 13
A dying Future
As a quick warning, this is kinda angsty. Well just look at the rating and you'll know.
So what do I have to look forward to? Dave and Jenny are both leaving to go to Deling. I can't go with them of course, I'm stuck here. Rinoa will be going back home real soon and I'll probably never see her again. Plus to top it all off, my…father…wants to send me away. My mother is a total…I wont say it.
When I heard them talking in the office. I was fuming. How dare they! How dare they call me 'a problem'? I heard them loud and clear. ' You can take him, its what you're here for', ' He is your problem as much as he is mine!', ' He's getting in the way!'
What the hell?
I could say that up until now, my life was going ok for me. But I cant. My life has been as screwed up as ever and now this event is just icing on the cake.
I slowly rose my sitting position next to the door and started walking down the hallway. If they don't like me, if they think I'm in the way, fine, I'll go.
I walked up the stairs casually, hoping to not make too much of a disturbance. I didn't want anyone getting suspicious. Unfortunately I ran into Dave.
" Hey!"
I spun around. He waved and jogged up the stairs.
" Hey man…" He gasped. " Jenny, me, Rinoa and you are gonna go out to the pub tonight ok? You feel up to it?"
I nodded.
" Alright…so meet at the back, you know the normal place"
I nodded again.
" Is it just me or have you decided to go mute?"
I shrugged. " Nah…I'm just feelin a little down you know?"
He nodded this time. " Yeah I can understand…anyway…I guess I'll meet ya there then aye?"
" Sure"
He smiled and jogged back down the stairs. If only he knew…
I shook my head and walked to my room. Once I was safely inside I let out my breath. Was I really going to go through with this? Yes…I definitely was.
As soon as I had stepped away from the door, someone knocked. I groaned. Probably Dave.
But it wasn't…it was Raine. I slammed the door shut but she caught it and stepped in.
" Squall I need to talk to you"
" Well I don't want to talk to you, get out"
She sighed and closed the door, taking a step closer to me. She was staring at me again. Analyzing me to see whether I looked more like him or her.
I turned around. " I said get out"
" Oh, so you hate me? But why, I've done nothing wrong to you Squall. Why are you being like this?"
She's done nothing wrong. Whatever.
" You have done all the wrong, Raine, now please, get…out"
Yet still she remained where she was. I crossed my arms and looked up at the ceiling. I really did not need this now. Why wouldn't she just leave!
" I'm not going Squall, I would like to set some things straight with you"
For some reason I really didn't like her tone.
" I was talking with Laguna," she said. " He's going to send you away unless you choose to come with me. I live in outer Esthar. Really I don't see that you have a choice in this. You are coming with me. So I'm terribly sorry for any inconvenience boy, but that's life"
I slowly turned to face her.
" How dare you…you bitch! You can't come into my life like this and try to take me over!" I was nearly screaming… " You don't own me! I… am… staying…right… here! No stuck up little bitch like you is gonna make me move!"
She glared at me and crossed her arms. Clearly she didn't like anyone facing up to her. Perhaps she wasn't used it. Stupid…
" I'll see you soon then"
With that she left. I stood alone in my room for while. I waited for my blood to go down. When it didn't…I lost it.
The closest thing to me…a light. I grabbed it, spun around and hurtled it at the window. It smashed through and fell outside. Next I picked up my study chair and through it at the wall. It crashed hard against it, bending the chair and denting the wall. Anything around me I picked up and threw. I was in a frenzy.
When I was tired I fell on my now tattered bed. They would pay for what they had done to me.
So picked up a piece of glass from the bed and sat upright. Slowly, as if afraid, I pushed my sleeve up slightly.
" This is it…"
I placed the glass on my wrist. I held it there for a moment. Taking everything in. I was not backing out now. So without another thought.
I sliced it across…
It hurt more then I had anticipated. Already blood had begun spilling out and falling onto the sheets below. I held it upright.
I did my other wrist. It was harder, since my other hand was already injured, but I managed.
Once I was cut on both wrists, I knew it was over. So I lay down on the bed and turned my head to look out the window. My eyes were heavy. So I closed them.
Quistis grabbed the sheets from the closet. She grumbled as she noticed two sheets missing. Perhaps hiring new staff was not the best option. Oh well, there's always next year as they say.
She placed the sheets over her arm and read her list. Squalls room. She smiled. She had intended on speaking with him anyway. She hurriedly ran up the stairs.
But when she reached his door…
She let out a scream.
