- ...............................................-

Selina checked her polished golden Rolex. That stupid Rikku…it was almost 1 in the morning. She had brought her doctor over to Gippal's house two hours ago and he's just been on the edge of his bed, staring at the girl since. Ugh! Some people need their beauty sleep! But she didn't want to seem like a selfish assho in front of Gippal.

"How about you go rest and I'll watch her?" Selina offered sweetly. 'Yeah. Right. Watch her my ass. I'd rather dump ink on her hair behind your back.'

"No…I'll..." He said tiredly, not even bother looking at Selina.

"Oh Gippal, the doctor did everything he can, I'm sure she'll do just fine," Selina's voice was losing its sweetness. She was getting more impatient as she glanced down at Rikku, who was lying rather limply on Gippal's bed.

Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch! Instead of that wasted piece of crap lying there, she and Gippal should be snuggled under those soft Jioré blankets together!

"Why don't we both take a break?" Selina suggested. "I'm sure you deserve one…after all that's happened."

"No, I don't," Gippal muttered. "I can't believe I did this to her…"

"Oh Gippal," Selina leaned over and wrapped her arms around him.

Amazingly, he let her arms stay there. Selina's blood raced with joy and excitement. This could be it. He might be falling for her. Jeez, talk about orgasmic.

"We have all got drunken before at parties…but none of us ended up like this…well, I guess it's not too surprising…" For the first time tonight, Gippal looked at her.

His Al-Bhed eyes melted into hers. His face was expressionless but his eyes were stormy with emotions that were hard to tell…hmm…could it be…passion? Selina could have fainted right there.

"What are you talking about?"

That was weird. He sounded a bit agitated.

Selina tossed her long, perfectly-done, raven hair.

"Well…isn't it obvious? She's so weird, and weird stuff happens to her. You know, you shouldn't be around her, Gippal. It'll seriously bring down your popularity---"

"What?" Gippal seemed a really angry now. He tried to pull away, but Selina kept a tight grasp on him.

"Oh, no! I'm not saying you're not popular anymore," Selina said, quickly. "It's just…Rikku is such a loser. I mean, gosh! Nobody likes her."

Gippal jerked out of Selina's restraining arms. "I can't believe you…"

"What's wrong, Gippal?" A cold worry rained on Selina. 'Was it something I said? OH damn it…he must've thought I was being a little bitch. Oh my god if this wasn't Gippal I would've sweared at him non-stop ...o shit! Hm…play it cAlm Selina you still need to carry out your plan so if Gippal doesnt think she a loser yet….' She chuckled to her self quietly. 'He sure will soon…………' "I'm sorry for what I said before about Rikku." She said in a fake, miserable tone. "Really…It must be because I wanted to look after Rikku. Are you mad at me?" She looked up at him.

Gippal blinked a several times, trying to figure out what she just said. Wasn't Selina one of the meanest girls in the whole school?? Why was she acting so nice? 'Ah well, I guess people change.' Yeah right.

Selina bit her lips. Hopefully he fell for her idiotic acting.

"There's more to life," Gippal said, "than your looks and wealth. I know you didn't mean it but it's true."

Selina laughed, rather nervously. "But Gippal, we have looks and wealth. What else do we need?"

"You don't get it, do you?" he asked her vaguely.

"What we need…" Gippal's voice grew soft as he kneeled by Rikku, his face almost touching hers. "…is everything she has…"

Ouch.

Selina's face twitched….she was bursting with jealousy and hate. RIKKU? What in the fuqing bullshit world could she have---that Selina doesn't?

None. Nothing.

Selina has everything Rikku has…in fact, she has goddam billions more than Rikku will ever have.

Her clothes were surely hellavah lot more expensive than Rikku's---her house could mother friggin squash Rikku's trailer or whatever she lived in---

"I gotta go," Selina said, barely making an effort to cover up how pissed off and humiliated she was. How could Gippal compare her with that disgusting, garbage-like shit lying on his bed?! Rikku probably never had been in a beauty salon in her life!!! How dare Gippal say that Selina's gorgeous, luscious, black hair needed to be like that, that---UUUURG!

If it had been anybody else BUT Gippal, she would have slapped the life out of them.

But he is, so…she didn't.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

Before, all he ever wanted was for her to leave him alone.

Well, wish granted. He felt more alone than ever.

And not just that.

He felt like a cruel, stupid, selfish, narrow-minded cocky jerk.

God above, wasn't it already terrible enough that he left her stranded in a tree, in the middle of a thunderstorm. If luck hadn't been on her side, who knows how many times she could have been struck?

But no…that wasn't enough. He had to try to kill her again by poisoning her with alcohol.

A complete retard, he is. Leaving that HUGE bottle of rum on the table. If he wasn't such a dumb bastard, he would have realized how innocent Rikku was, and how thirsty she'd be after eating her atomic-bomb creation.

He felt sorry…he truly did. It was like a splinter in his heart. And it brought him so much pain to look at her. The once charming face was now pale with no expression, she looked dead. Periodically, he would put his finger near her nose just to make sure she was alive.

It was all his fault.

Hours passed, though it seemed like days. Gippal felt sleep tease his eyelids, but his mind fully concentrated on Rikku. And finally, little by little, she seemed to get better. Color was returning to her cheeks, and life seemed to be creeping back. Gippal felt mesmerized, the healing process was so beautiful. It was like watching a tiny bud blossom into a beautiful rose.

'I should wake her up' Gippal thought, thinking about the medicine the doctor recommended.

But a terrible feeling sank into his stomach. She'd hate him. She'd want to kill him. Who wouldn't---after what he did?!

And there was also a certain nervousness. Gippal didn't know where that came from, but it was quite strange…

Whatever. He had to do it. It was his actions that led to these consequences and he had to pay for it. If it meant she'd hate him forever, and he'd feel guilty for the rest of his life…then fine. It was his own fault, anyways.

"Rikku…" he said, shaking her lightly on the shoulders.

Rikku squirmed, and sighed, burying her face in the pillow.

"Please wake up? Just for 5 minutes, to take your medicine…" Gippal said, brushing away a handful of hair that cascaded down her face.

Bit by bit, Rikku opened her eyes, and the green emeralds sparkled. Gippal helped her up and held a small pill to her mouth. She swallowed it, without water.

"My head feels funny," she said, softly. "I must have been really sick."

Gippal coughed uncomfortably. "You had…eh…alcohol poisoning."

Rikku seemed confused, and Gippal wasn't sure what he just saw in her eyes but it seemed like a hint of angry-ness, though he couldn't tell. "What?" 'O.My.God…. OMG OMG!!! Play it cool Rik…REMEMBER where you are and who you're supposed to be!!! Seriously if this was the real me I would've killed him…I mean, I have NEVER got drunk before never in my life not even when I---regardless! ARG!!! Oh yea BLANK look Rik, BLANK look and look at him innocently like you don't mind!!!!!'

She looked at Gippal blankly. A/N: haha

"That bottle of purplish thingys…it was actually rum," Gippal said, staring at the ground.

"Oh."

That was all she said.

Gippal couldn't see her facial expression, because his gaze was fixed dead on the ground.

She hates you. She hates you She hates you. She hates you. She hates you. She hates you. She hates you.

He felt like he was transported to a cold, abandoned place wicked, merciless souls gathered together. A sick feeling crept into him. At that moment, Gippal truly hated himself.

But suddenly, he wasn't staring at his glistening waxed floor anymore. Rikku's face popped right in front of him. She had bent over, blond curls falling down from her shoulders, and tilted her head, to study his expression.

"Uh—" he exclaimed, pulling back.

Her eyes twinkled and her pink mouth curved into a grin. It felt like sunshine was pouring on them.

Ok. Now he had to apologize, he had to say---

"It's okay," she said, before he even had a chance to speak.

"Really?" he asked, a bit too quickly. "Because I…"

Her face glowed with light, and she giggled as she leaned…………………

Closer…and closer…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: closer and closer…and…WHAT?

I'm such a butt.

Oh, and I'm sure you'd all like to know this but:
