Chaptire Two: The Many Truth's of a Lie

When the two had arrived in the Club, they surely attracted a lot of attention. An 18 year old girl with a 25 year old guy? Who wouldn't be a little creeped out by that? Alexandra seemed surprised to see just how many people knew Cloud. Everywhere she walked with him, people shouted his name to say 'hi.' Alexandra wasn't use to so many peoples noticing just one person. She looked up to see that Cloud didn't seem to mind it. She admired his confidence & pride; something she never had. All she had was her singing and that was it. It was all she needed; all she wanted.

Outer & inner harmony...

Alexandra had been dropped off by Cloud in the back dressing room. He informed her she would be on in 15 minutes. She was soaked to the bone because of the rain, but it didn't worry her. She was more concered about how her voice was, not the way she looked. She took some deep breaths & talked to herself.

"You can do this. Just do what you always do. You can do it." Alexandra said.

All I need to make of this reality, it's inside...

Meanwhile, Cloud was walking around trying to find Tifa. He finally found her handing out drinks at the bar. He walked up to it & talked to her.

"She's here. I gave her 15 minutes. You think thats enough?" he asked her.

"It should be." Tifa said, handing a drink to a man. After she did, she looked to Cloud. "There's something I need to show you Cloud." she said. Cloud was a bit shocked that Tifa was saying this. She wasn't the type to keep secrets from people. (A/N: Is she?) She crawled out from under the Bar & forced cloud to follow her to the back. She opened the back door, just to see Vincent there; right where she left him. Cloud's eyes widened.

"Vi--Vince?" he said. "Is it--- Is it really you?" he asked. Vincent looked to Cloud with his annoyed eyes. Cloud smiled. "It is you!"

"I asked him to come to play for the new singer." Tifa explained. Cloud looked at her, then back at Vincent. "Unfortunately, he is being as stubborn as ever, so I need you to do it Cloud."

"Ok. But, did you have to bring me out to see Vincent to tell me this?" Cloud asked.

"Well, I thought it'd be a little weird if I just came out & asked you since we normally don't need a Pianist for our singers." Tifa explained.

"Good point." Cloud said. He looked back to Vincent who looked upset that Tifa had asked him to play for the new girl. "What's wrong buddy?" he asked. Vincent looked back to Cloud with his cold stare. "Oh. Got it." he said.

"Anyways, get in there. She should be starting soon." And with that, Cloud left Tifa & Vincent alone. "I thought I was going to help you. Tifa said to Vincent.

I see inside...

"I already told you I can't anymore; not after waht happened." Vincent told her.

"What happened is in the past. You can't quit something like that just because of a little incident." she said. Even though Vincent hated to admit it, she was right. But, if he knew that, why did he keep holding back? "C'mon." Tifa said. "I want you to at least hear this girl. I've heard she's really good. Give her a chance." Tifa waited for Vincent in the doorway. After waiting for a few mintues, Vincent followed her inside, a satisfied look on Tifa's face. Tifa hoped if her first plan didn't work, the second one would. She would later find out just how well it did.

And from depth within show the balence...
