"Bleed, bitch, bleed!"

Selphie was lying on her bed with her arms behind her head. As she stared at the seling she mouthed to the blasting music. She was so intune with Eminem that she barely head the knock.

"Yo, Selph!" Zell's voice came over the fading music.

"Huh?" Selphie jumped and slipped off the bed. She landed on her butt and the music skipped. "Give me a sec." She called as she stood up and grabbed the romote.

She opened the door two inches as she paused the music. "What do you want?" She snapped.

"Whoa! What did I do?" Zell asked quickly putting up his hands.

"Sorry Zell." She muttered not really meaning it and not opening the door.

"Hey you okay?" Zell smiled softly. "You've been in there for two days with Seifer's CDs. . . I'm worried about you. . . and Seifer's worried about his CDs."

"Yeah. I'm fine. I just don't want to see those two bitches ever again." Selphie spoke softly, but with venom. Zell's eyes opened wide.

"Um.. come talk to me when Selphie enters your body again." He shook his head as he turned and left.

Slamming the door, Selphie whispered, "Why does everyone think somethigns wrong with me?" She sat on the bed as a tear slipped down her cheek. "I'm just fine." She laid down and clenched her eyes shut. Later she slept.

"She still seems really mad." Zell told Rinoa and Quistis, "It was freaky. She was blasting Eminem and she called you both... bitches..." HE said the last part so softly he was barley audible. The girl's eyes met.

"She'll be fine, Selphie always pulls through." Quisty said. Her voice seemed to be reassuring herself as well as them.

"She always does," Rinoa said strongly. "It's who she is. She just needs to blow off some stream."

Rinoa and Quisti took Zell's arms. As they walked, he muttered, "i hope you two are right." The only answer he got was "When arn't we?"

Once more purring entered the depths of Selphie's sleep. She opened one eye and gazed soley upon black. A lazy smile touched the corner of her lips as she reclosed her eye.

The purring continued to get closer until it seemed less than a foot away. She opened her eyes to the golden one staring back.

"Good morning," She murmurred sleepily as she streched. She sat up and looked to Bearow. This time, he was dressed in all black. 'It suites him.' She smiled, then frowned.

"What's up?" he asked, sitting up as well.

"Well... I tried to tell my frineds about you."

"And they laughed at you?" He asked knowingly. She nodded slowly. "Don't worry. If their really your friends they'll come around."

"It's just... it's so hard to... I'm so... mad... " She stumbled over her words as tears spilled from her eyes. She turned to him and leaned to cry on his shoulder.

"You knew they wouldn't believe you. They just don't understand you. I do though. We're two of a kind Selphie." He pushed her gently away and into a sitting position. "That's why I came to you for help. That's why I'm willing to help you."

"What is it? Selphie wiped away her tears and looked into his eyes.

"Well..." He stood and walked a few steps away. "It's... it's a bit hard to explain."

"Try me." Selphie said defensily.

He smiled. She had played the perfect mouse right into his waiting feline paws.

"Stay away from your friends for a while." He said as he turned quickly and reached for her. She reacted without thinking. Ducking down, she moved around him and pulled him back, rolling to the side to get out from under his fall. She lay there waiting for the crash. It never came.

Turning and opening her eyes, she stared in disbelief as Baroew held the push-up position.

"How did you, but you..." Some how in that short fall he had flipped himself all the way around.

"Your a quick thinker." He said getting to his feet.

"Thanks."

"Welcome."

"I should get back." She said smiling. Then she held out her aarms wide.

"What are you doing?" He asked skeptically.

"I wanna hug!" She said stomping her foot.

"Oh..." Bearow hesitated before moving forward. He pulled her head to his chest for a second and then walked behind her. 'That was fast' Selphie stood there blinking. She shrugged and sighed.

"I should really go now," She hesitated. "Will I... see you? Again I mean?"

"Yeah sure," He replled, not turning around. She sighed again and climed into the bed.
