TRUTH

She lifted the duffle bag onto her shoulder. She had to do this. How could

she be expected to be loved by the one man she ever cared so much about? Especially if

he dwelled on a dead woman? She was about to leave when she noticed he wasn't in his

bed. She started to freak out then. What if he is up now? She had to hurry. She was

almost out the door by a voice startled her.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Oh crap, she thought. She slowly turned around to meet the person who spoke.

"I'm leaving, Cloud." She said looking him straight in the eye. Cloud walked over to her.

"Why, Tifa." He looked somewhat amused. Tifa could only stare at him.

"B-because I'm ... I'm unwanted." She said finally. Tifa knew her eyes would soon well

up and she'd be crying again. "How do you know you aren't wanted?" Cloud asked

calmly. Tifa felt the anger rush back at her. "Because your so obsessed with Areis!"

This answer caught Cloud off guard. "What?" He managed to say. "Your obsessed with

her, Cloud Strife! I can tell by the way you look when you talk or think about her! I don't

know why I stick around here so I'm finally leaving! You have absolutely no idea of the

hell I've been through! You have no idea of how I feel!" With that she turned her back to

him. She started to cry. "How do you feel?" Cloud whispered. Tifa couldn't look at him.

"I thought I loved you." Tifa said. Cloud turned her around. "Thought you did?" He

asked. "I can't love a man who doesn't love me." Tifa whispered. Cloud brushed a few

strands of her hair from her face. "Then can you love a man who does?" He asked. Tifa

looked up at him. "Wha-" Tifa was cut off by Cloud's mouth capturing hers. That

night Tifa was to never leave
