Chapter 7

Gippal's POV

A week had passed and we had no contact from Kadena what so ever. Rikku started to get on my nerves. She kept nagging at me at how I needed to find her and tell her about our plan of taking full custody. It wasn't until the seventh day that I heard anything at all. I was at Djose getting rid of the rest of the things that made anyone think it used to be a bedroom. I was cleaning out my desk when my new assistant came in with a letter. In Kadena's sloppy handwriting she wrote that she got an abortion and would be by later to pick up her things. When I went home that night Rikku was in the office putting together a crib. She had painted the room baby blue with clouds earlier that week and was now adding everything else.

She smiled up at me when I came in, but once she saw my face, she frowned.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Umm, Kadena sent me this letter today."

Rikku stood and dusted her blue jeans off.

"And what did she say?"

Okay so how was I going to do this? She had been so excited about the whole baby thing. She really wanted this for some reason.

"She had an abortion."

Rikku's face went from happy, to worried, to sad and then to pissed.

"That fucking little whore! I'll find her and bash her fucking head in until it turns into a bloody pulp!"

Okay I thought I had seen Rikku mad, but right now, she was scaring me.

"Calm down Ri." I said backing away from her.

"She did this without even consulting you?" she said lowering her voice a bit.

"Yeah, she just sent me this letter." I replied pulling out the letter and handing it over.

She took it and read it quickly then tossed it on the floor.

"Oh Yunie will be so disappointed too. She thought little Faith or Arden would have some one to play with." Rikku said.

"Faith? Arden?"

"Yeah Faith if that baby is a girl, and Arden if it's a boy."

"Oh is that what they are naming it?" I asked trying to get her mind off the abortion.

"Yeah I guess…" She replied.

She was on the verge of crying and why I did not know. I mean it was my kid and I wasn't sad about it. Okay that was mean, but I'm not going to lie.

"That poor little baby…didn't even have a shot at life."

"Rikku, it's okay it wasn't even a baby yet."

She glared at me.

"Do you know how cruel you sounded just then? It's murder!"

I just nodded I wasn't going to open my mouth again.

"Sorry."

"Yeah, but I guess what's done is done. I'll just keep this room for Yunie's baby to use while I'm babysitting I guess."

I knew she was upset about all this and I didn't know how to make it better. So I hugged her and let her cry for a few minutes and when she was done I had to change my shirt.

"Hey can we go out to dinner or something. I really don't wanna cook tonight." She said as I changed my cloths.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked.

"Pizza?" She said and smiled.

Yes pizza, pizza was her favorite food. I didn't mind it but I couldn't eat it like she could. If she could, she would eat nothing but pizza. Her favorite was pineapple and ham with black olives. Man, how did I know so much about her? Why do I know so much about her? Well if I am going to marry her, I guess it's a good thing.

"Sure, but why don't we order for delivery?"

"Okay I'll go make the call."

She got up from the bed and ran to call to pizza place. She was probably going to want to watch a sappy movie on cable and cry about it all night. I remember when she was fourteen and I was hanging out with Brother and Buddy. Her boyfriend just broke up with her and she sat with some girls from home watching chick flicks and pigging out on double brownie ice cream. I slept over that night and when I got up to go to the bathroom, I heard her crying in her room. So I knocked. She said 'come in' without even asking who it was. That was the first time I kissed her. It was also the first time she slapped me. She screamed at me to get the hell away from her or she would have Brother and Buddy beat me up, but as I got up to leave, she smiled and said goodnight. I didn't hear her crying any more after that. We started dating a few weeks later, secretly of course.

"Pizza's on it's way!" I heard her call from downstairs.

"Coming!"

Rikku's POV

I can't believe Gippal is perfectly fine about this whole abortion thing. I guess it shouldn't bother me so much but damnit it does. I mean come on abortion is just so freakin wrong. So tonight I was going to eat a whole bunch of pizza and watch movies that I would most of the time not go near. I needed to watch some depressing movies with corny sappy ending to make myself happy again. Don't ask me why I do this I just do, it's been my ritual since I was twelve. That's when my mom died, so that's when my life started getting really depressing. It's also when I started puberty I tell ya that is one scary thing to go through without a mom to help you out. However, all the other girls in Home helped me and Brother tried his hardest. So I guess I was okay, but watching those movies helped a lot to. Gippal came down the stairs in the pajama's I bought him. Yeah I bought him a pair a pj's it's getting cold he needed more then just his boxers to sleep in. They were all black like most of his cloths are. He seems to like black, red, blue and sadly enough purple. Oh well every guy has a flaw. At least he didn't like pink…

"Hey, I was gunna order a movie on Pay per view. Anything you wanna see?"

"Nah why don't you pick?" He replied.

Good he knew the mood I was in. Well why wouldn't he? I mean he was around me for most of my life being friends with my brother and all, well at least he was friends with him until Brother caught us in my room together…with Gippal on top of me his hand up my skirt. Let's just say it's not the best way to find your best friend and little sister. They haven't been friends since. Actually, Brother hates Gippal with a passion now, and I think the feeling is mutual between them.

"Okay."

So I picked out a movie called "The wedding date" it sounded okay I guess. It was actually somewhat funny too. Gippal fell asleep on the couch half way through it I just continued to watch random TV until late in the night. Therefore, I put a blanket over him around eleven and went to bed by myself. The bed was cold when I laid down and I shivered as I got dressed in my pj's I noticed the window was open so I walked to close it. That's when Gippal walked up behind me, and me getting scared shitless I turned around and kneed him in the stomach. He sat on the bed and held his stomach like he was feeling sick.

"I am soooo sorry!" I exclaimed walking over to him.

He took a deep breath and smiled.

"My fault." He replied.

I frowned, and then smiled. I couldn't help but laugh. Okay it was a little funny you had to admit. I mean someone of my size practically collapsing a guy that was a lot bigger. If you don't find that amusing, I don't know what you would. He looked up at my laughing and made an irritated face.

"It's so nice that you find my pain pleasurable." He said in an angered tone.

I stopped laughing. Okay now it was going to be hard not to laugh I damaged his ego.

"I'm sorry, I just can't believe that I hurt you."

"Okay Ri you may not know it but you're a good fighter, you're not weak."

Ahh he said I was a good fighter, that must of really hurt his ego. But at least he knows I can kick his ass if he ever pisses me off. I walked over to him and kneeled beside on the floor so I could look up to him.

"Sorry, I mean it really." I said seriously

"I know. And I said it's okay." He replied and got up.

He came over to me and picked me up throwing me on the bed. I started laughing hysterically. He got on the bed with me and we started to play fight. I was trying not to hit him to hard and he was just trying to keep me down. It somewhat reminded me of when we were younger, it was our way to get close to each other without Brother knowing anything. It was before he caught us in my room. I stopped laughing for a few seconds and smiled.

"I have to take a shower." I said.

He let me go.

"I wanna watch." He replied and smirked.

I pulled him up by his shirt and pulled him with me into the bathroom. We undressed each other as we went along and we didn't really ever get to the shower until and hour later. It was nice he even washed my hair for me. Mumbling something about how he loved my hair in the process. We went to sleep right after wards without getting dressed again.

When I woke up the next morning Gippal was already gone, probably went to Djose. So, I got up and got dressed. I picked a long black peasant dress that was somewhat hippish, and a pair of old combat boots. I added a baby blue shall and began to pick up the room. I threw the cloths from last night in the hamper. Walking downstairs I saw that the empty pizza box and soda cans were still on the coffee table in the living room. I picked them up and threw them away then I made my way out to Djose.

Gippal's POV

"Kadena, you need to leave. You have your stuff. Now leave." I said putting the paperwork in front of me aside for a moment.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked almost in tears.

"Lets see. One because I am involved in a relationship now. Two because what was between us was nothing more the sex, and three because you went and got an abortion without even consulting me in the decision." I replied.

"Listen Gippal I lied."

"What?"

"I was never pregnant, I thought that if I said that to Rikku she would leave you and you would come back to me." She said now crying.

Great she was crying. Why do girls always cry when I brake up with them? I just don't understand how they could want me that bad. I mean yeah I'm good-looking but come on I've been told I can be quite egotistical at least that's what Rikku told me. I think the only reason Rikku can put up with me is that she has known me for so long, and she can be the same way sometimes.

"Kadena, don't cry."

She looked down at her feet. Her blond hair falling in front of her face. She sniffled and sighed.

"I really thought you meant it when you said you loved me."

"Well I didn't. To tell you the truth I was thinking about Rikku at the time."

"I know, but I love you and I hate her!"

I sighed. This was depressing. She was way over the top in her obsession with me and it was nauseating. I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Kadena, you're my friend. Also, I never meant to hurt you. However, I did and I'm sorry. You're just going to have to accept that I didn't feel anything for you and I still don't."

Wow that was the fifth time I've said those exact words to a girl change the name, and yep word for word it's exact. I think I've memorized that speech. I think the only girl I ever broke up with differently was Rikku.

She sniffled again and looked me in the eyes.

"Please just do me a favor and tell me the truth." She said.

The truth, Hmm what was the truth? Gee Kadena, you have a nice ass so I thought I would fuck you a few times. Never meant anything by it. Actually, the truth is she reminded me of Rikku and I told her that didn't I? Okay so maybe once upon a time I thought I loved her, no lust would be a better choice of word the love. She was there and I was bored. That was the truth.

"Maybe three months ago I may have liked you as more then just a person to sleep with, but Kadena I could have told you from the beginning it wasn't going to last. None of my relationships after Rikku ever lasted more a few months maybe five tops. I'm sorry."

She clutched the bag in her hands as if she were dying. She dropped it and walked closer to me. She raised her hands to my face and looked strait at me. Okay this is where I needed to move away from her. Yes, walk away, push her away, DO SOMETHING! Somehow, I couldn't. I was frozen in my place. She leaned up and kissed me softly. That's when the door opened. I quickly pushed her away to see Rikku standing in the doorway. Her face full of pain. I stared in her direction and tried to find the words. All I could get out was her name, barely a whisper.

"Rikku."
