Authors Note: Hey everyone. I;m back to write the last chapter. Yes that's right, this is the end! I'm sorry (again) for taking ages to update, I've just been very busy. I have a new idea I'm gonna write soon on silent hill so I hope some of you review. I also have an idea for a final fantasy 8 story but I don't know whether I'll put it up or not yet. Nothin' left to say except enjoy and leave me plenty of reviews! Lol!
Chapter 5- Broken
Irvine woke up, the beautiful sunlight coming into the room around him. He smiled. He couldn't believe how lucky he had been the last night. He had finally scored with Selphie. Sure he had been drunk but you couldn't have it all your own way. He looked beside him and realised that Selphie wasn't in the bed anymore.
'Selphie.' He called down the stairs. 'Are you okay?'
No response came and Irvine immediately became worried. Maybe she wasn't talking to him because he had taken advantage of her. He quickly pulled back the duvet and got out of bed. He walked out the door and down the stairs to an empty kitchen.
'Selphie.' He called again.
There was still no response. He looked around the whole house and finally gave up. He went back up to his room and sat on his bed thinking. He started biting his fingernails nervously. What if Selphie really was mad at him? What if she never wanted to see him again? He shook off the idea quickly.
She has just gone out for a walk, he decided uneasily.
He fell back on his bed trying to relax but it just wouldn't work. He was too nervous about Selphie. What if she had been attacked or got herself hurt.
'No.' He muttered. 'Selphie isn't that stupid.'
He decided to take a shower, to help ease his nervousness. He ran the hot water on his already clammy, sweaty body but it just didn't feel relaxing. He quickly turned it to cold water and let it run on him. He stood under it for about twenty minutes, waiting for something to happen.
Eventually he stepped out and wrapped a towel around himself. He stepped back into his room and threw some creased, old cloths on. He heard rain on the roof all of a sudden.
Oh great, he thought miserably.
He pulled a cigarette out and started to smoke. Outside the rain started to come down harder. Selphie's gonna be drenched if she's out there, he thought. He finished it within a few minutes and took another one out. He sat there smoking until his pack was gone. He threw it at the wall in frustration.
'Dammit, where is she?' He yelled.
He was really worried now. He knew that she was away because of last night.
He decided to go out and look for her. He pulled on some shoes and headed downstairs and out through the door. It was raining heavily and everyone was inside. Selphie was no where in sight.
'Selphie.' Irvine yelled over the loud rain drops.
He ran towards Rinoa's house and knocked loudly on the door. Squall came to the door after a few minutes.
'What's wrong?' He asked.
'Is Selphie there?' Irvine asked in panic.
'No.' Squall sighed.
'Let me talk to Rinoa then.' Irvine said.
Squall went to get Rinoa slowly. She came out quickly looking confused.
'Irvine come in.' She said quickly. 'You're getting drenched.'
'I can't.' Irvine said quickly. 'Have you seen Selphie at all today?'
'No, why?' Rinoa asked looking confused and worried.
'She just left this morning and I don't know where she went.' Irvine said.
'Really.' Rinoa said surprised. 'That's not like her. Did anything happen?'
'Well.' Irvine started.
'Yeah.' Rinoa encouraged. 'What?'
'We had sex last night.' Irvine said shamefully. 'We were both so drunk.'
'What, Irvine Selphie is married!' Rinoa said loudly.
'I know.' He sighed. 'I just couldn't control myself.'
'Irvine, you messed up before.' Rinoa said angrily. 'Why did you have to do it again?'
'Look, I'm sorry.' Irvine said. 'I just made a mistake, I have to go and find Selphie.'
'You'll mess up her marriage.' Rinoa said.
'I was drunk.' Irvine mumbled.
'That's no excuse.' Rinoa said. 'You'll really hurt her.'
'I'm sorry, I need to find her though.' Irvine said. 'I have to go.'
'I think you should find her and then leave.' Rinoa said. 'If you stay it'll happen again, you should go away again. This time though, you should stay away.'
'I'm gonna go look for her.' Irvine sighed.
'She might be on the beach.' Rinoa said. 'Check there first.'
'Thanks.' Irvine said looking into Rinoa's eyes. They didn't give off the same warm glow that they had the day before but now looked cold and unfriendly.
She shut the door and Irvine walked away towards the entrance of the town. He quickly walked out and onto the beach. Selphie was sitting there in her soaked yellow dress clinging onto her legs. She seemed to be crying.
Irvine approached her slowly. 'Selphie.' he called softly as he came close towards her. She didn't look up but kept her head buried in her knees.
'You'll get sick if you stay out here for long.' Irvine stated.
She didn't respond. He sat down beside her and a tear fell down his face.
'I know how you feel, as though you've done something so wrong.' Irvine stated. 'You didn't, it was my fault. I'm still in love with you.' He put his hand on her arm. 'But I know that we can never really be together.' He looked away. 'That's why I've decided that I'm going to leave.'
She didn't raise her head but continued to cry. Irvine withdrew his hand and got up to walk away.
'I want you to stay.' Selphie said through her tears.
'Selphie, you've got a husband.' Irvine said.
'I mean we can be friends.' She said. 'I want to have you in my life.'
'I can't see you without thinking how I'd love to kiss you.' He said with his back turned to her. 'I wouldn't be able be just friends.'
'Then we can be together, I'll get a divorce.' Selphie sighed.
Irvine thought for a second. This is exactly what he had been wanting her to say since he had been her at the restaurant. He had always wanted to be with Selphie. But somehow he didn't feel right. He knew he wouldn't be able to please her the way she pleased him. He knew she wouldn't be truly happy.
'I can't let you destroy your life.' He said. 'I'm sorry.'
He walked away, repressing the urge to go back and hug her as she sat there sobbing loudly through the rain. Her crying was so loud. He hated that he had hurt her but he knew it would be better this way. He walked back into Selphie's house and quickly packed his stuff. He took one last look around her house and then turned to leave, for good.
The End
Authors Notes: So what did you think, was it any good? Sorry but I had to pick the short ending because the long ending was just too unbelievable. Please tell me your honest opinions. I might have another ff 8 story coming up soon so keep an eye out. I haven't completely decided whether I'm gonna put it up or not though. Please tell me especially if you dislike the ending. Here is the thank you list:
Lady Pyrefly- Yeah Selphie is a cry-baby but she's kind of like that in the game! Thanks so much for reviewing every chapter of the story so far. I really appreciate it. I will try and read some of your fictions in the future, I'm sure they are excellent.
LadyTwist- Thanks for the really positive review. I'm happy that you liked the sotry. I hope you like this chapter too.
JadeAlmasy- Squall and Rinoa's marriage is in trouble because Squall is acting like more of an ass than before. Rinoa is starting to hate him from living with him for so long. Squall doesn't like that Rinoa likes to have fun and get drunk! Thanks for all the reviews and really funny emails you send me. I hope you keep in touch now that the story is over!
QueenAdreena- Thanks for the review. I don't really want to do a sequal because I usually dislike sequals and find them hard to write. I didn't want to put in the sex scene because I think it would have ruined the whole chapter. I'm glad you liked it. I'll be sure to review some of your stories soon.
Druggo-frog- Sorry I ended it. I know you'll be disappointed but I really didn't want to drag the story on. It just would have become crap! It was sex at the end of the chapter. I just didn't want to actually write the scene because it would have been kinda weird. Well I hope you liked this chapter since it was the last! Sorry again for ending.
Need-courage-to-write- Hey Sineypoo. That should be your pen name, it's perfect for you. Sorry you're at the end of my thank you list, it's because you were the last one to review it, not because I hate you (although now that I mention it! Lol) (joking). Well since you are addicted I decided to stop! It's nice to know that I have someone to relate to my characters (well not my original characters but how I wrote them!) especially one of my dearest friends. I know that your story will be amazing!
p.s- sorry the chapter was so short!
