Jealousy
Chapter 7: May Not Be What He Seems
*~*~*~*~*
After chugging down the rest of her drink, Yuffie saw Jake head out a side door that lead out to a courtyard filled with flowers. Deciding to find out what he was doing out there, Yuffie threw her cup away and walked down the curving staircase, passed couples, and headed out the doors.
A warm breeze greeted Yuffie as she walked in front of the doors as they closed soundlessly behind her. In front of her was a large courtyard. The grass was as green as the greenest planet. A yellow brick path led itself charmingly through the place and past a romantic bench right under the only tree in Hollow Bastion. On the outsides, were dark hidden corners where anyone can hide, even if you're the size of the moon.
Jake was sitting wordlessly on the bench that had caught so many couples's attentions. Jake relaxed into the bench with his arms crossed and he stared down at the ground.
Yuffie walked across the yellow path, her footsteps echoing around the courtyard. The moon was shining brightly and left Yuffie a faint shadow that lingered next to Yuffie. The moonlight hit the yellow path, making it seem like the path was a yellow ocean.
As Yuffie came up to Jake, he looked up at her. Not with his happiness that he had used during the past few days, but something else that nagged the back of her mind. After searching through her past memories, Yuffie gasped inside her head mentally and remembered the day that Jake and blown up.
******FLASHBACK******
Yuffie approached Jake cautiously. He sat under the stairs of the library. His head was buried into his rough hands as he looked aimlessly down at the wood table. Yuffie approached, and once he heard her footsteps, he looked up with confusion in his blue eyes.
Yuffie kneeled down next to him and asked, "Is something wrong, Jake?" Her voice echoed silently through the empty library.
"I'm- I'm not really sure," Jake answered, looking back down at the table. Yuffie hands reached the arm of the chair as she still kneeled on the ground.
"Want to talk about it?" Yuffie asked, her voice was worried for the guy that was one of her best friends and know her boyfriend.
Jake's head turned and gazed onto Yuffie. He sighed and looked into her eyes, becoming entranced. "It's had to explain,"
Yuffie waited patiently for him to talk again. A pause filled the room. Everything was silent in this large room, except for the steady breathing coming from the 'couple' (AN: Hate you Jake, lol)
"I've kind of had this feeling for a while now..." Jake said. "It keeps coming to me everyday, and I'm confused by it. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Gentleness appeared in his voice, and he kept staring at Yuffie.
Before Yuffie was going to say something nice, Jake continued, "I've had it for a while now, and I think it's going to take over me." Yuffie looked confused by his remark. 'What the heck is he talking about?' Yuffie asked herself mentally.
"Yuffie... I need to come out and say it before I do something stupid..." He paused and looked into her eyes. He grasped her hand and said, "I love you," in a whisper.
Yuffie's eyes widened and she stood up and pulled her hand lightly away from his. Did she just hear what she thought he said? Her heart pumped wildly, as if bursting from her chest and spreading throughout every single world.
Her breath came in short gasps. Sure, she 'liked' Jake, as a really great friend, but she doesn't love him! To her, loving him is like loving a brother, except in like loving your brother in a romantic kind of way.
"Ja-jake, I, uh," What was Yuffie to say? That she doesn't love him? If she said that, then she would lose one of her greatest friends ever.
Jake stood up. "Yuffie, say you love me back," His hands reached for hers, but Yuffie pulled hers away and hid them behind her back.
"Jake... I don't know how to say this..." Yuffie whispered, looking at the ground.
Jake put both of his hands on Yuffie's shoulders, "Yuffie, I've loved you for a long time. Don't you think you should love me back? We've known each other practically our whole lives, and we've been great friends. We've also been dating for close to two years. You should by now love me," Yuffie didn't say anything. Yeah, she's known him her whole life, EXACTLY like a brother.
A pause rested between them. Finally, Yuffie broke it, "Jake... I love you, but not as a lover... as a friend."
Yuffie looked up and Jake's eyes glared at her. "Please, let's just be friends," Yuffie muttered.
"Oh, you want to be just friends?" Jake said menacingly. His hands started gripping Yuffie's skinny shoulders hard. Yuffie cried out in pain as his fingernails started to leave cuts in her arms.
As Yuffie felt tears stroll down her cheeks, Jake said, "I bet you love that Squall guy," his fingers dug in deeper, blood coming out of Yuffie deep cuts. Now Yuffie knew that Jake was strong to cut through metal.
Jake let go and Yuffie looked up at him with a red flushed face. Why was he hurting her?
Jake's eyes filled with anger. His eyes flashed in flames as he walked to the table, grabbed the chair, and threw it at Yuffie.
Yuffie screamed as her head made contact with one of the chair's legs. It bounced off her and landed next to her. As soon as both made contact, Yuffie also fell onto the floor, her head throbbing with pain.
"Yuffie!" Somebody yelled from above the staircase. Yuffie couldn't really see what was happening, but she heard that person say, "You're going to pay for what you did to her!"
That voice belonged to Squall.
*********END FLASHBACK**********
Yuffie remembered waking up to find Squall taking care of her cuts and gashes on her head and shoulders. Yuffie remember his sweet tone voice and of how he said everything is all right and that Jake got what he deserved.
That was when Yuffie started loving Squall when he spent several weeks next to Yuffie to make sure she was okay.
As Yuffie continued to look into Jake's eyes as she sat down beside him on the bench, slightly away form him; she remembered those were the eyes that burned with flames. Those were the eyes that had made her skin hurt from pain... and her heart.
How did she start liking Jake again? Only a couple days has she, Yuffie, seen him, and already she was on a date type thing with him! After what he did to her, Yuffie wondered dhow she got herself into him again.
As Yuffie continued to look into Jake's eyes, they still hadn't changed from their flame-like look. Yuffie flinched inside and started to get worried.
"You okay?" she managed to get out.
Jake's eyes turned back to normal and nodded, "Yes, yes, of course."
He looked into nothingness ahead of him and Yuffie looked at him quizzically. Before she could ask it again, Jake said, "You know... I've been thinking a lot since that day,"
Yuffie figured it was the day that he had attacked her.
"After a whole lot of thinking over the past years... well I've decided to tell you that I still meant what I said that day," Yuffie eyes widened a little, wondering if he meant that he loved her, or where he meant to hurt her.
"Wha-what do you mean?"
"I still love you, and I need you to know that so we can be together again," Jake said, his eyes starting to come back to flames.
Yuffie became outraged. 'So they can be together again?!' Yuffie stood up, her hands in fists. "You think you can tell me you love me and expect me to get back together with you after you hurt me?!"
Jake grinned venomously as he stood and walked over to the backing girl. "No, but you see, I can make you love me,"
Yuffie sent a deadly glare his way, "How? I hate you now! I don't love you! I-"
Jake only kept grinning wickedly as he said, "Yes, yes, you love that bitch, but I can make you love me," His hand reached for his pocket and pulled out a gun.
Yuffie's eyes widened.
