October 7th- I got up early this morning before anyone I knew was up. It was about 4:30. The only person I expected to be up at that time was Squall. With all the work he does all the time, I wouldn't have been surprised if he was awake. I grabbed my suitcase and train ticket and went to the lobby.
Cid was there to bid me a safe trip, and I thanked him, gave him a big hug, and walked out of Balamb. I haven't been out of Balamb for any other reason than a mission before. This feels really weird. I walked to the train station and found my train. I was relieved to find that it hadn't left yet. I found a car, and sat down in one of the nice seats, because for me to be comfortable, requires style, and formality.
The train took off and the conductor came around and I showed him my ticket. He seemed that he was in his fifties, and he was obese. I waited till he passed to get myself settled into my spot. I got out my favorite book. Selphie, Rinoa, and Ellone would be jumping down my back right now, because I wouldn't have given them any bother. Anyway, the book I was reading was, Watership Down.
It's the best book ever! It's only about five hundred pages long, so I thought it would be good for my trip. I was at the part where the male rabbits were trying to help the female rabbits escape. It was so intriguing to see that animals such as that really did want to help others. I was sucked into it and the next thing I knew, I was already in Deling City. I gathered my stuff and got off the train. I rented a Toyota Echo, one of my favorite cars, and headed straight to the hospital. I asked the desk clerk for Seifer's room. She gave me a bit of a fight but then I told her that I was his fiancé. Then she looked at me with pity and gave me his room number.
I headed down the hall, looking at all the people passing me by. I felt sorry for everyone that had to stay in this unpleasant place. I practically ran to the elevator and once I was outside his door, I took a deep breath and walked in. I stood there in shock for a moment taking in what I saw. A man in an entire body cast, with a breathing machine, and a heart monitor. I ran over to the bed, and fell to the floor.
"Seifer! I'm here now, don't die on me!" I said as I started to weep. "Quistis?" I heard. I looked up, and noticed that the guy was asleep. "On the other side of the curtain,"Seifer said. I stood up dried my eyes and walked past the curtain. Seifer was laying in bed. His eye was all puffy and black and purple, he had stitches on his forehead and he was wearing one of those hospital gowns. The stitches really added depth to the scar on his face from when he and Squall trained together and almost ended up killing each other.
That was a lesson I'll never forget, never put enemy's together to train. He also had a cast on his leg. He also had a sort of contempt to himself too. He didn't have that cocky smile on his face, which made me feel even better. I ran over to him and hugged him, and kissed him. I pulled up a chair close to his bed, and leaned in. "Quistis, I love you more than anything, don't let me kill your heart." I gasped "no" I said as he smiled at me. "What?" he asked wondering why I was tearing up. "Seifer, I have a confession." I said as I sat down on the bed. "Even though I don't show it very much, I love you." Seifer's eyebrows raised, and he held his arms out and I drew closer.
We hugged for a long time. "Seifer, I got your ring, they found it in the car." I said as Seifer began to blush. "It was supposed to be your birthday present, but I ruined it didn't I?" Seifer said as I sat up from hugging him and showed him my hand. "Oh Quis, you look radiant." Seifer said as he kissed my lips. "Take the ring off your finger, I want to do something" he said as I slipped my ring off. He took it, and said "I know I'm not doing this formally, but Quistis Trepe, will you marry me?" I was so surprised that he would do it like that in a hospital.
"Oh Seifer yes, yes I will." We kissed and then I pulled away. It was the sweetest thing he'd ever done. I hope that's a permanent thing now. I told Seifer that I had the week off, and that I would come to visit him every day until he could come home. Seifer looked at me wide eyed. I still don't know why he did that. Then the doctor came in. She seemed polite. She told me that Seifer would be out in the next two days.
I told her where I was staying and my name so she could call me when he was able to leave. I pecked Seifer on the cheek, and told him that I would visit tomorrow. I left the hospital, and went to my hotel. I checked in, and found that my room was quite pleasant. I enjoyed the view of the ocean. I went to go get some food, and came back to my hotel room. I ate my dinner on the balcony, and watched the sunset.
Then I took a nice hot bubble bath, which was ever so nice. It was a jacuzzi tub, and I had the jets going, an aromatherapy candle, and my sweet smelling bubble bath. I relaxed for what felt like forever, until I was all pruny. Then I got out, and layed on my bed. Now I'm writing in you telling about how my day was. The mattress is so soft, I'm just gonna take a little yawnnap.
