Hello all, glad you liked the last Chapter, have a great day and do something out of ordinary!
Chapter 14: Caught
We both froze at the sound, centimetres from each others face, gazing into each others eyes, wishing that it hadn't happened. Slowly, so slow it looked like he was doing it in slow motion; Squall got off me, and turned to face Rinoa.
Rinoa's face displayed a number of emotions; anger, sickness, shock, disbelief, and last sadness, all colours had drained from her face.
I just sat there on the bed, I felt like I wasn't even there, like I was a member of the audience as the husband and wife looked at each other. Then her stare turned to me. It wasn't the same infuriated look she had given to Squall, but one of disappointment, disbelief and pity. I knew what was going through her head as though she had said it out loud. Why? I looked away from those haunted eyes; I feared that if I stared into them for much longer I would die of guilt. I wanted to say something to make it go away, to make an excuse, anything just to make the situation better, but I knew what had been done had been done. It was now past and I had to deal with the present.
I opened my mouth to say something, I didn't know what, and I just had to do something to cut the tension that surged throughout the room. But Squall spoke first.
"We need to talk." That was all he said, not I'm sorry, and not I can explain, just that.
When Rinoa spoke again her voice quivered with emotions.
"It's pretty obvious what happened here, I don't need your excuses Squall, I need you to burn in hell." Her voice began to crescendo at the end so the last bit rang through the room. Squall, bit his lip in anger, he had never been spoken to this way especially by Rinoa.
"You know what Rinoa," he put a mocking voice on her name. "I don't give stuff what you think, I hate you, I don't know what I ever saw in you…or what anyone could ever see in you." he muttered in rage.
"Why don't we leave your lovely little slut here and finish this talk in private. Because there are a lot of things you need to know."
He bowed mockingly "Gladly, there are a few expressions I wouldn't mind sharing with you myself."
They headed out of the room walking stiffly with overflowing resentment. I didn't know what to do I just sat there stunned, numb to every feeling that should have been going through me. Everything seemed surreal like I was in a dream. I didn't know what to do; I wanted it to never have happened. I closed my eyes and opened them again wishing to wake up from a bad dream, but to my disappointment I was still sitting on the bed clutching my knees rocking backwards and forwards. I heard shouting from outside, it sounded distant like the rumbling of volcanos on a horizon. The next moment I was running to the door as though my life depended on it. I don't know what made me do it; it felt like some incredible supernatural force. But all I knew was I had to see Rinoa.
