Chapter Four
"I...," she mumbled out. Seifer sat there, looking dead at her quivering body.
"Quistis?" She turned to look at him, his hand now resting on her shoulder. "You don't have to tell me, yet." She smiled softly, wiping the tears away with the back of her hand. "But you do have to tell me at some point."
She nodded her head. Seifer stood up, scratching the back of his dog's head. "Seifer?" she asked out loud. He looked dead at her. "Thank you."
He shrugged. "I'll just screw the brains out of you tonight," he said with a wink and smirk. She rolled her eyes again and lay back down. "We'll be heading into FH port in about four hours. I'll get you a ticket back to Balamb as soon as we get there."
"No!" she yelled, quickly sitting up and throwing her legs over the edge. Seifer turned and looked at her. "I...don't want to go back."
Seifer walked over to the bed and squatted to get to Quistis' height. "That, you have to tell me the reason why."
"Because...I..." She paused, staring deep into his eyes. She could trust him; something was telling her that she could trust him. "I still have feelings for Squall."
Seifer sighed, standing back up. "You tried to kill yourself, didn't you?" She hung her head, interested in her hands wrapping the sheet. "All over Puberty Boy? Just because he's all over little Miss priss? I thought you, of all people, were more mature and sensible than that."
"You don't have to rub it in!" she finally yelled. She stood up, pushing him away from her. She grabbed her head from the rush, and suddenly found herself on the floor. "Ugh..."
Seifer loomed over her, shaking his head. "One, you definitely don't have your sea legs." She nodded in agreement. "Two, you're just recovering from being unconscious. And three," he squatted next to her, "where do you want to go?"
They waited patiently. Quistis was draped in Seifer's jacket to cover the baggy clothes and Seifer was tapping his foot gently. "This old man...I swear he takes the longest time to answer the door," Seifer complained out loud.
"He's an elderly man, Seifer," Quistis whispered back. Seifer looked down at her and shrugged. The door finally opened, revealing the same old man that had gone fishing when the Garden crashed into FH.
"Seifer! How's Charlie doing?" the old man yelled out, taking Seifer's hand.
"He's doing fine and well." The old man laughed softly. "I'm here to collect this month's pay. Sorry to sound rushed, but we're kinda in a hurry."
The old man turned towards Quistis, grinning softly. "I know you! You're that dear SeeD member that took me to the hospital!" Seifer grunted softly, staring at his watch. "It's so kind to find young ladies that can spare time to help."
"It was my pleasure, sir," Quistis said sweetly.
The old man smiled and reached into his pocket. "Ok, Seifer. Five thousand gil for this month! We've had a good month so far!" The man handed Seifer the money, shaking his hand once more. "I'll see you bright and early tomorrow?"
Seifer sighed, looking at Quistis. "I have to take her to Deiling City, actually." Upon hearing 'her,' Quistis turned to look at Seifer. "Can't let a girl go there by herself, can we?"
The old man laughed softly. "You know what Seifer? Since you've been such a great guy this year, here's another thousand. Also, I'll get in touch with my friend over in Deiling. He'll have a good job for you waiting there."
"Excuse me?" Seifer said out loud. "You think we're movi..."
He was quickly cut off. "I know, I know! It's not much. I can't let such a young couple go to a city like Deiling without a job waiting for them! Don't worry about me, either, Seifer. I've got Charlie to take care of me and my grandson is coming into town." Seifer grinned softly. "I'll trick him into working the year off for me!"
They walked quietly towards the train station. "So," Quistis said.
"So..."
"I guess we're moving to Deiling, huh?"
"I guess so. Considering I have no job here, now."
"I really am sorry for that, Seifer," she said softly.
Seifer shrugged. They continued to walk on, in pace with each other. Seifer looked up to see the train schedule, only to see a group of SeeDs. He grabbed onto Quistis, swung her in front of him, and started to kiss her passionately. Quistis placed her hands up against his chest, and tried pushing him away from her. He finally pulled away, only to feel a hard hand hit him in the jaw. "Ow!" he yelled out.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Quistis screamed.
He grabbed his jaw. "Aren't girls supposed to just slap?" Quistis glared at him, ready to take another swing. "I did it to make sure those cadet SeeDs didn't see you!"
"What! We gotta get to that train station now!" Quistis yelled out. She grabbed Seifer's hand, rushing to the train station.
Squall walked over to the ticket booth, staring at the teenage girl reading the weekly magazine. "Excuse me."
"Tickets are one thousand gil apiece, sir," she said.
"I'm not interesting in buying a ticket. I was curious if you've seen this woman." Squall held up a picture to the girl. It was the picture of Quistis and him.
The girl squinted only to pull away. "Yea, she left about ten minutes ago on a train to Deiling."
"Thank you."
"Or was it Dollet?" the girl said.
Squall turned towards the girl, glaring softly. "Can't you look it up?"
She shook her head. "All tickets are the same price. Sorry."
Squall sighed, walking away from the ticket booth. He picked up his transistor radio. "Selphie?"
"Yea, Squall?"
He sighed. "Get a team ready to go to Dollet."
