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

Cloud ran out of the church, he stopped in front of the statue that stood in the centre. Cloud fell to his knees; thoughts entered his head, his hands placed over his ears.

-----Start of flashback------

"You're a bastard."

Silence

"You have made things worse."

Silence

"Have you no heart?"

-----End of flash back-----

"That's not what was said. There was more to it than that…" Cloud stood up and folded his arms across his chest. "Did I really say that?"

"Yes, yes you did." Cloud was cut off by a male voice. He turned to see who he was talking to him. "Why did you say that? It wasn't very nice you know." Clouds eyes widened in horror, he was silent. "You may have upset him." Cloud began to back off as the young man spoke. The dark haired stranger walked towards him, cloud still backed off. "Cloud, why are you backing off? Scared of me?" The stranger smiled as Cloud fell over his own feet.

"Err…" Cloud swallowed hard. He looked around and climbed to his feet to speak to a passer-by. "E…excuse me." The young woman turned at his voice and smiled. "I…I know this may sound strange but, can you see anything in front of the statue?" The woman giggled and shook her head, she began walking again. The dark haired stranger laughed.

"Don't worry Cloud; I'm not going to hurt you." He took a step forward.

"Don't move!" Cloud raised his voice, people carried on walking, ignoring him. "J…just stay there. Don't come near me, just stay away from me!" Cloud ran for an alleyway. He carried on running, past Seventh Heaven; he fell to his knees in the train graveyard. Cloud was breathing heavily. He looked behind him. No-one was there. He sighed and sat down and leaned against a wall.

"Tsk Tsk. You can run all you want but I'll find you. I'm always with you." The stranger walked towards him. Cloud looked at his eyes, they were bright green. He shook his head and looked again, as he got closer, the young mans eyes changed from green to dark brown. Cloud made a run for it again.

'No, this can't be happening.' Cloud looked back and couldn't see him. He carried on running; he didn't want him to catch up. Sweat ran down Cloud's forehead, he ran faster when he heard something behind him. He turned his head as he ran; nothing there, he stopped and started to catch his breath. 'No, it can't be. I'm dreaming.'

"I better be heading back." Cloud knew exactly where he was and turned to carry on walking. "Whoa!" Cloud jumped back at what he saw. "How the…" Cloud looked behind him and looked back at who he was talking to. "How did you catch up with me? And get in front of me without passing me?" The young man smiled.

"As I said earlier, you can run all you want, I'm always with you." Cloud stared at him. The dark haired stranger smiled and sat down. "That's what friends are for, right?" Cloud sighed and sat in front of him.

"It can't be you." Dark eyes stared at Cloud. "It just can't be." Cloud put his head in his hands. "It can't be."

"I don't care if you believe it or not. You need someone to talk to, Vincent has his own problems, Yuffie wouldn't understand, the big guy…well I wouldn't talk to him either, and Tifa…" Cloud looked at him. "Tifa needs you more than you need her." There was silence between them.

"Tell me…how do you know everyone's name? I mean I only met them two years ago." Cloud looked up. "Did…did she tell you?"

The dark haired man sighed. "No, no she didn't. Cloud, how many times do I have to tell you?" Cloud brought his head back to look at him. "I've been with you since the first day we met. I've been watching you since the day I died; I've seen everything you've been through." Cloud closed his eyes. "Cloud, do you now believe this isn't a dream?" Silence returned, Cloud nodded his head slightly. The young man smiled.

"There is one thing I don't understand," Dark eyes stared at Cloud. "Why now? Why have you shown yourself now? I've been through worse." Cloud lowered his head.

"You never needed me until now. You handled everything else on your own, but, right now…" Cloud stared at the ground as his friend spoke. "…you ok? I'm worried." Cloud was being watched from above but was undetected. Dark eyes watched carefully.

'Cloud, what are you doing? Who are you talking to?'

"I don't want to worry you. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest," Cloud kept his eyes on the ground. His friend looked at him with concern. Dark eyes watched him from above, listening to every word.

'Have you finally reached insanity?'

Cloud looked at his friend. "I'm sorry," His friend smiled. "I missed you, Zack." Dark eyes widened at the name.

'Guess you have.' Vincent jumped down from his hiding place. Cloud quickly turned his head.

"Evening, Cloud. Spoken to Tifa?" Vincent calmly spoke. Cloud shook his head. "Hm. So, shall we go home?" Cloud's eyes moved to look at his right-hand side and moved back to Vincent.

"Sure." Cloud and Vincent walked down the dark alleyway in silence. Cloud was uncomfortable. "Err…Vincent?" Vincent turned his head to look at him. "When did you get here? I mean just now?" Vincent turned his head back to face forward.

"As soon as I jumped down, why?" No emotion was heard in his voice. Cloud nodded.

'Don't worry Cloud; your secret is safe with me.'

A/N: Sorry if its mainly dialogue I'm still under writers block. Hope you enjoyed it.
