Rain I remember rain, that day was still foggy but I still remember it as it splashed onto my best friends body. Blood still dripping from his mouth and chest, I dragged my body over to him.
"We're friends right?" understand?"
I gently unhooked the sword from his body and lifted it up to the sky. Trembling and weak I locked my eyes with his sad dead purple ones.
Zack swiftly moved over to me and let me rest my head on his shoulder. For once safe I stopped trembling. He stood up and smirked "don't look so worried I won't leave you behind"
You liar. I threw the sword, as far away from me as possible but being heavy it didn't go very far. "You said you wouldn't leave me behind!" I remembered screaming that at the sky as a swift lighting appeared from the clouds as if it were answering me. "YOU BASTARD!" I screamed punching the ground rapidly with all my strength. Blood began to appear from my knuckles and finally the tears came. The rain got heaver and I curled into a defensive position. "You … said … you wouldn't … leave… me" I mumbled before closing my eyes and letting the cold taking over as I glimpsed one last time at Zack and Midger close in the distance.
"Happy birthday Cloud!" Everyone cheered as I entered my house that Monday night. The room was decorated head to toe in banners and what looked to be Christmas tree lights.
"It's my birthday?" I mumbled darting my eyes to the calendar oh yeah there it was Tifa must have circled it hmm in a heart shaped border? "Happy birthday Cloud" Tifa mumbled pulling me in a strong embrace. I could hear Yuffie go "aww" and Cid making this fake vomit sound. As soon as we pulled away Yuffie's hand pulled me towards a small pile of presents. "Prezzie time, Prezzie time!" She squealed before practically diving into them and searching.
It was kind of funny watching her as she stiffed through the pile like a dog throwing some presents.
"Hey!" Barret yelled as one hit in the head.
Yuffie leaped up with a small parcel in a sphere shape.
"Open this one is from me." She nodded as I took it from her and began to open it. "Oh it's… Material." I mumbled before frowning "Hey this is the one which got lost a few weeks ago!" Yuffie smirked "Yeah I took it and wrapped it up pretty thoughtful gift right?" I shot a playful evil glare at her and threw it her head she made this "uh." Noise before getting knocked out.
Tifa giggled then snaked her arms around my waist. "This one is from me." She gave me a small peak on the cheek before slipping something small into my pocket.
After I opened all my presents (a necklace from Barret, a book from Vincent. Cid's first spear. A stuffed toy from Cath Sith and a bunch of feathers from RedX11 ((he doesn't know what humans like))
I crept into the attic. Most of the stuff was pretty old. Some old guns of Barret's, Tifa's old combat gloves. Aeirth Rod. I pulled out a box full of SOILDER memories. I skinned through the photos and cards and came across a letter from my old fried Zack.
Happy birthday Cloud.
Sorry I can't be there but it'll make it up to you.
How 'bout you and me go the slums and train later? I know you like it there.
Love Zack xxx
I couldn't remember why he put love but I didn't care. I didn't even remember going to the slums with him and I didn't know why I liked it. I smiled and put the card back in the box and hid it back behind all Aeirth's Clothes that no one dare touched. I smirked and pull out the small from my pocket. It was a ring with the words "Marry me."
Jay: DONE! CHAPTER ONE IS DONE!
