Boulevard of broken dreams

Disclaimer: Don't own song, game, anything.
Note: Been ages hasn't it. Wonder if I can pull it off. Let see. Rinoa Squall. Zell Library Girl. The song fits Squall's attitude. I don't know the words so let it be. This is very short but I have plans, big big plans. Review and find out. Don't and well don't. I would have written more but it started getting to real and close to home so I had to end for now…
"I can't do it anymore Squall. I can't stay in Balamb Garden any more. Timber has been liberated thanks to Seed, our contract is up. I am in no more danger I don't need a knight any more…"
Rinoa's voice trailed off, her eyes filled with tears. She hated herself for doing this to him, she hated breaking his heart as this was breaking hers. But she just couldn't stand it anymore. Her nerves where gonna drive her insane.
For the last year Squall had either ignored her to the point she would cry herself to sleep and have nightmares. At these times she wouldn't see him for months on end. Then she would yell and shout and for three weeks he would crowd her. Not leaving her alone till she didn't know who her pet dog was, Angelo or Squall.
Squall didn't say anything. He never really did. He stared out in front of him. Ironically they where at a wedding, Zell's to be précised. Irvine and Selphie had gotten married the previous month an now Zell was marrying the Library girl. Squall sighed; he still couldn't remember her name.
He got up. He was no longer welcome at Rinoa's side. He was alone again. –I'll be alright on my own- he thought as he headed out the hall. As he went he passed Zell's mother. He nodded at her but before he could escape she took hold of his hand.
"I just wanted to thank you for looking after Zell, I never got to and he wouldn't want me to say it but I knew that he'd be ok as long as you where the leader. Thank you for bringing him back to me alive."
Squall looked at her for a moment. A mother. His mother had died a long time ago. His father was a moron he only really knew through Ellone's powers. Nothing made sense... and now Rinoa….
Laguna had told him everything, that Ellone had gone to Raine and Rsine gave birth to a son, to Squall and died because of him and he's the reason Ellone and he ended up in an orphanage. He was the reason he was all alone… he did this to himself.
He excused himself from Zell's mom and made his way away from the party. He walked to a cliff and looked down at the sea below. He pulled his hands out of his pockets and fling something over the cliff. It was a ring, a simple engagement band that would never find it's way to Rinoa's finger.
