Vincent slouched down on the couch next to Aerie and gave her, her drink. He looked at her face and tears were streaming again but she didn't make a sound. He gently wiped her eyes and put his arm around her trying to soothe her troubled emotions once again. "Aeris can you tell me what's wrong?" she nodded slightly and took a deep breath "Well it happened after the miscarriage and all. Cloud was depressed 24/7 and drank all the time. So one night he came home and rambled about how much he hated every thing. He started to say that it was my fault. Yes he said it was my fault our little boy died and that he couldn't understand why he married me." A small tear streaked across her face.
"I don't understand why he felt that way. I wanted to ask why every time but I am so scared." Vincent looked puzzled he knew she was hiding some thing. "Aeris why are you scared? Its not like he would hurt you or any thing…" Aeris flinched at Vincent's last statement. "Aeris," he swallowed and started again "Aeris he isn't hurting you right?!?!" his concern helped but she couldn't form the words in her mouth. She started to nod a yes but simply said "no…"
Vincent again looked confused "Aeris I can't help if you don't answer my question. Is it yes or no?" He wanted to know so bad why wouldn't she just say so. He heard her take another deep breath "Vincent could you help me? Yes, Cloud has been hitting me but only since the miscarriage. He never meant to really. But I need to go somewhere else for a while. Somewhere safe. I don't want him coming after me. And he is becoming more and more violent every time. I can't handle it anymore…. Vincent after I called you tonight he hit me again."
Anger welded into Vincent. Over and over again he wanted to hold Aeris and tell her how much he loved her. He wanted to protect her from everything bad in the world. He felt this way ever since her birthday. He had to try to help he no matter what.
~ Continuation of Vincent's previous flashback ~
Kali walked ahead and went inside the restaurant. "So Seph when are you going to pop the question to Kali?" Vincent stopped and turned towards him "I don't really know when I will. I know we like each other and all but man can she get hyper and go crazy. Vinny this is a commitment I am making. But I have already figured that we are compatible enough to get married but this is a decision we will make together, even though I already know her answer, I'm going to talk to her about this." Vincent stared at his friend who was so silent and barley ever talked except Kali of course "But do you want to?"
Sephiroth blushed and nodded his head.
Suddenly he turned around and swung someone on to his shoulder. "I thought I had you that time Sephy!" Kali said with a pout. Sephiroth smiled "Nope not this time you were close I didn't notice you till. You were about to tickle me. So now it my turn!" he said as he started to tickle her side. "Not fair!" Kali said trying to get Seph back. "Hey you guys!" Aeris came running by as soon as she heard the commotion. She stood by Vincent and watched both Kali and Sephiroth end up falling onto the ground laughing. "Happy Birthday Aeris." Vincent said as he gave her a hug. When Kali and Seph got up they said Happy Birthday too and they all went inside to eat.
"Cloud called earlier and said that he, Tifa and Barret would be a little bit late." Vincent stated to the group as they followed the waitress to their table. They all sat down when they got to their table and looked through their menus. Vincent started to think about what Seph said. What if he wasn't ready to commit to Aeris? Yes he loved her ever since they met but what about daily life. They never really dated before too. I'm just stressing myself out Vincent thought.
After they ordered their food the girls went to the bathroom and left the two guys at the table.
"So when are you going to ask her?" Sephiroth said then taking a sip of his Strawberry daiquiri. "I'm not all that sure maybe before dinner gets here. I'm just so nervous. I feel like this is just a dream or something. I can't believe I am really doing this." Just as Vincent said this a few more friends arrived at the table.
"Can't believe your doing what?" Tifa said as she hugged him from behind as Aeris and Kali sat back down. "Nothing." Said Vincent trying to hold back telling everyone the secret. "Barret had to cancel last minuet. He had to help Marlene with some schoolwork." Tifa sat down and started to sigh, "Sooo Cloud's not here yet?"
"Nope." Aeris said
~End Of Flash Back~
Aeris was a mess. Vincent knew it. She knew it. As soon as Aeris last statement sunk in Vincent took her out of the coffee house and put her in her car and asked for the keys. "Vincent what about your car?" Aeris said in a state of panic. "I left my car at home I live close to here." Music was playing in the background once again
I'm not sure
of anyone
But I've got plans.
I'm not asking for everything
but sure I could use a hand.
Get a little anxious sometimes
you'll be gone and I'll be left behind.
Get a little nervous sometimes
it'll be my cue and I'll forget my lines.
Get a little lost look
as I'm staring from the corner of my eye.
Never really mastered disinterest.
I can't see how
the way that you leave me yellow makes us close.
I must be
out of touch.
I won't ask you to give up on the things that seem to keep you gone
but I could be gone too.
Feel a little sorry sometimes
you're not here when I am writing.
Feels a little awkward sometimes
you won't talk but we're not fighting.
You hold onto your secrets
and I'm not privy to what is on your mind.
When I can't help but feel tired so tired
