Gee, I don't know when I'm gonna end this story, I've been trying to brainstorm some ideas for the story, but it really hasn't worked. :::suffering from major case of WB:::

and FYI: Okay, this is my very first fanfic, so please expect some things to be in bad grammar, etc. I'm only 13! This is a kinda long chapter, because an important even comes into place here.

Well, on with the story, yeah.

Thursday, Lunch Period.

'How come Sierra hasn't been bothering me this much this week? She hasn't even been here!' Yuna thought while picking at her Chef Salad. "Yunie, are you 'kay?" Rikku asked concerningly. "You haven't been acting the same..." Rikku added. "Yeah, I'm fine Rikku." Yuna lied. 'Its coming, I can feel it.' Tidus thought while gazing at Yuna, who did in fact have worry in her eyes, could anyone else see it?

"Brudda, do you think Yuna's gonna be okay?" Wakka whispered to Tidus. "No, I really don't think so, with that Sierra girl and all." Tidus replied quietly. "And the worst part is that we don't even know what Sierra'll do to Yuna." Tidus added, very worried, he had been keeping his eyes open for Yuna ever since that Sierra girl had pushed Yuna down in the lunchroom about 2 weeks ago.

He had indeed missed the cheerful Yuna before Sierra had come along. At the beginning of the year, he could tell Yuna was a little skiddish around some people, but then she began to open up, and Tidus really liked that, but now she was just skiddish again, because of that Sierra girl. Tidus didn't like the fact either that it was all his fault for going out with Yuna, causing her to get glares, sneers, and even threats in the hallways and in class.

'I really wonder how this is going to turn up." Yuna wondered. Yuna wasn't really this paranoid, but she sensed something about Sierra, extremely bad karma. 'I've faced worse problems than this, but how come I'm more afraid?' Yuna thought. She knew the answer, Tidus. Yes, she loved Tidus, she really did, and she didn't want to let him go. But Sierra was really a psyco, and would do ANYTHING to get Tidus. Anything.

But then, Tidus got an idea. As much as he hated his idea, it seemed like the only way. His idea would in fact separate Yuna and him. If Yuna and Tidus broke up, then Sierra would leave Yuna alone, but Tidus really loved Yuna, and he really didn't want to do it, break up with her. The most horrible words in the american dictionary, 'break up'.

Tears had actually started trickling down his face. It was the ONLY way for Sierra to leave Yuna alone, besides killing, which was .extremely illegal He HAD to protect Yuna from Sierra, he was going to break up with Yuna. He had to, he resented it, but he had to, he hoped that Yuna would just understand... he knew it would bring tears to Yuna's eyes also, but not as strong as Tidus'.

He snapped out of his daze, and noticed everyone at the table was looking at him. "What's wrong, brudda?" Wakka asked. "What's wrong, Ti?" Tidus' sister asked. Then he saw Yuna, she would just smile, that would wash away all of his problems, but it just left Tidus with an extreme pain in his heart. Why did Sierra just have to move to Luca, of all places and disturb Tidus' wonderful life?! WHY!?

"What's wrong?" Yuna asked so sweetly and concerningly. Those words made Tidus quietly start to sob. "Yuna, w-we n-need to t-talk, r-right now." Tidus said, he grabbed Yuna's hand and led her out of the cafeteria.

'What's he talking about? Those words he said, 'Yuna, we need to talk', does that mean he wanted to break up!? Oh no, I think he is! But why? I thought he loved me!' Yuna thought, making her stomach feel bad. "Y-Yuna," Tidus sobbed, both of them were in the abandoned halls, Yuna was trying to keep a smile on her face, but it didn't work, she knew what was coming. "I- I t-think it w-would be b-best if, if, we k-kept our r-relationship on h- hold for n-now!" Tidus yelled, extremely sad, mad, and he had tears in his eyes flowing from the ocean in his eyes. His tears were of pain, pain that no one could take away, no one, except Yuna. But Yuna too was gently crying, 'What?! Why!??! I REALLY THOUGHT HE LOVED ME!!! Oh my GOD! I can't b-believe it! This isn't happening!' Yuna thought, noticing that she was crying.

"But Yuna, I still-" Tidus stopped, and embraced her around the neck. "DONT TOUCH ME!!!!!!" Yuna yelled, backing away from him. Yuna eyes were filled with anger, betrayal, and a broken heart. "I TRUSTED YOU! HOW COULD YOU!? I REALLY LOVED YOU!" Yuna yelled. "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO TRUST YOU!? OF ALL PEOPLE!? AND THEN I GAVE YOU MY HEART ON A SILVER PLATTER, AND YOU JUST THROW IT BACK AT ME?!" Yuna's fists were clenched, she didn't know why she was freaking out much more than she expected, but she really was in LOVE. She reminded herself that it also involved pain, but she didn't know it would hurt this much. "I HATE YOU TIDUS! I HATE YOU!" Yuna yelled, tears flowing from her eyes, her lips trembling, and her eyes filled with sorrow.

"But, Yuna! You don't know why I'm doing this!" Tidus yelled. Then he heard Yuna's footsteps stop, and her trembling voice countered, "I know what you're doing Tidus, you were playing with my heart, you were poking at it, trying to make fun of it, seeing if you could toy with an innocent person's heart, well you got what you wanted! I didn't, but obviously you people are never going to change!" Yuna said her voice trembling so strongly. With no more words said, Yuna walked back into the lunchroom, grabbing everyone's attention.

There were whispers, sneers, and glares shot from everyone in the room. Normally Yuna wouldn't care, because Tidus was there, but not anymore, and they bothered Yuna ever so. She didn't know how she would go through this, but she promised herself, no matter what would happen, she wouldn't run away. It would be a long time before she would be able to trust another guy again. Maybe never.

"Yunie!!!! What's wrong!!?!" Rikku asked looking at the tear infested friend. Yuna didn't say anything, but she just cried her eyes out hugging her best friends for support. 'How will I make it through this!?' Yuna thought.

"Wakka, Tidus broke up with Yuna." Lulu whispered, seeing through Yuna's tears. "I know, but it was the smartest thing ta do ya?" Wakka said to Lulu. "Why do you think that?" Lulu asked. "Cuz Tidus really does love Yuna, ya know? He broke up with her, hoping that Sierra would leave Yuna 'lone now, ya?" Wakka said. "Yeah, you're probably right, Wakka." Lulu said. "I'll talk to Yuna, you talk to Tidus okay?" Lulu asked. "Right." Wakka said, and both of them went to comfort their friends.

"Hey, brudda?" Wakka asked outside the cafeteria. He saw a crying Tidus punching the wall behind him gasping, tears flowing out of his ocean blue eyes. "I *gasp* broke *gasp* up *gasp* with *gasp* Yuna!" Tidus sobbed. "Because *gasp* I *gasp*--" Tidus was cut short. "Because you don't want anything bad to happen to Yuna, ya?" Wakka said sitting down next to the extremely sad Tidus.

Tidus just nodded, his hands were covering his face trying to muffle his extremely sad sobs. He couldn't talk, for the gasps wouldn't even let him form a sentence. "Brudda, its going to be okay, if she really loves you, then she will understand, ya? Trust me on this brudda, its going to be aight, aight?" Wakka said gently slapping Tidus on the back in a brotherly way.

Tidus finally got his sobbing under control and he said "But what *gasp* if she doesn't!?". "If she doesn't, then Rikku'll tell 'er, you two are brudda and sista right? From what it looks like in the cafeteria, Yuna won't listen to you at all, brudda." Wakka spoke. "I shouldn't have done that!" Tidus yelled punching the wall behind him with so much anger it left a hole in the wall and gave Tidus bloody knuckles.

"WHOA! Brudda, watch out there! But ya, you shouldn't have, because you broke her heart, but there was no other way to protect her from Sierra, ya?" Wakka said. "How *gasp* did you *gasp* know?!" Tidus asked. "From the way she picked on Yuna two weeks ago, ya? The whole lunchroom was watching, brudda!" Wakka lightly chuckled. Tidus gave Wakka a 'Its not funny, and I would do anything to have Yuna back' look and Wakka stopped.

"Yuna, hun, it'll be okay." Lulu said very concerningly, patting Yuna's shoulder to get her attention, leading her to an abandoned table. "No *gasp* its not! I *gasp* really--" Yuna was cut short also. "loved him?" Lulu finished for her. Yuna nodded, her face covered in tears. "But Tidus loves you to." Lulu said. "Oh *gasp* yeah?" Yuna asked more tears coming from her sapphire and emerald eyes. "How do *gasp* you know?!" Yuna slightly yelled.

"Yuna, do you really need me to tell you? Did you ever think ONCE about WHY Ti- 'he' broke up with you?!" Lulu asked. "N-*gasp*no!" Yuna said, defeated. She was so upset that she really didn't get a chance to think. 'Why HAD he broke up with me?!' Yuna thought. She didn't know, she didn't have one clue. Not one. Yuna shook her head.

"Yuna, 'he' broke up with you because he was worried about you!" Lulu said. "He broke up with you because of Sierra! He knew something bad was going to happen to you if you two kept on seeing eachother! He still loves you, Yuna, and he broke up with you to protect you from that psyco!" Lulu continued.

Yuna was clueless, but she didn't care, she didn't have the one she thought she truly loved by her side and it bothered her, and it would probably never be that way again.
