Eyes on You

Chapter 10

"I'm not him. My name is Jake."

Rinoa stared at him. How could he not be Squall? He looked identical, except for the older face. How could he not be her beloved Squall? "Oh... I'm... sorry to bother you!" Rinoa spit out the last few words fast. She was nervous... not to mention embarrassed. She had cried in front of this guy.

"Mama, no dada?" Matt looked up at her, confusion showing in the little boy's eyes.

"No, this isn't Dada." A tear fell down Rinoa's cheek. "I'm sorry to bother you." And with that, Rinoa started to walk away.

"Wait!" It wasn't Jake, it was the girl who had been silent the whole time. Rinoa and Matt turned around, Matt already had his head turned looking at the guy who was not his father.

"Ummmmm," Rinoa took her bottom lip and started chewing on it.

"Don't go!" The girl said. "I'm Halie," she said, outstretching her hand and shook Rinoa's trembling hand. "I'm sorry about this, it's been a big misunderstanding."

"Why are you sorry?" Rinoa questioned. "You have nothing to be sorry for."

"I brought him here..." her voice trailed off.

"No! It's not your fault, you brought him here, it's not your fault he looks like Squall."

"Dada," Matt corrected his mom, a small smile on his face. If there was one thing that was different between Squall and his son, it was that Matt was a natural born smiler. He almost always had a smile on his face, while Squall, on the other hand, barely ever smiled and when he did it was the cutest thing in the world.

"Dada," Rinoa muttered, picking her son up and kissing him on the cheek. He inserted his thumb in his mouth, starting to suck on it. Rinoa cuddled him close, and he giggled.

"You must be close," Halie muttered. "Um, Jake, can the two of us talk for awhile? You can go back to the hotel."

Jake nodded and kissed Halie on the cheek, leaving.

"What do you want to talk about?" Rinoa asked, confused about what she was wanting.

"Can you leave him somewhere, like with a babysitter? I need to talk to you... In private." Halie's green eyes flickered, adding a mischievous look to her innocent face.

Rinoa dropped Matt of with Selphie, him happy to agree to play with his best friend. Then they sat down, Halie having a weird look in her eyes.

"Tell me about Squall," she commanded.

"What's to tell?"

"Who he was, what happened."

Rinoa started to talk. "Squall, he was... everything to me. Squall Leonhart.. We met and I fell instantly in love with his cold attitude." Rinoa let a sigh escape her lips and continued telling Halie the story about Squall. She told her everything, including the fact about the Other's and Squall being a murderer. For some reason, she felt like she could trust this Halie. Like she could tell her anything. And then Rinoa got to the part about Squall's death. She couldn't help but tear up when talking about Squall.

"When did he die?" Halie asked, her voice unsteady.

Rinoa told her and Halie gasped.

"That's one day before I met Jake... He told me he didn't know who he was, so I made up the name Jake."

The two stared at each other. "So, he's Squall?" Rinoa asked incredulously.

Halie nodded. "I believe that he is."

-

That girl he had seen, why did she stir up his emotions so? Why did she mess up his head? He was in love with Halie, there was no denying that. But seeing her, why had he thought she was so beautiful? What was this? He was faithful to Halie. He's wasn't some cheat. But, she was from his dreams, there was no mistaking it. And he felt like he was in love. He wasn't quite sure.

He was walking on the street when some guy pushed him against the wall. It was another person from his dreams, the one that had a scar mirroring his own.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked Jake, pushing him up harder.

"My name is Jake," He said, defending himself.

"Jake? Jake..." He punched Jake in the face, leaving him a bloody nose. "I'm so sure you fucker!" He punched Jake again, and a crunching sound was heard . His nose was broken.

"I'm Jake," he repeated, his voice rather nasally as his nose was broken.

"Why do you look like the man I hate?"

"I don't know." Jake pushed Seifer off of him and told him to fuck off. He then walked back to the hotel and stopped the bleeding. It hurt like hell. Why did everyone think he was this Squall? It was starting to piss him off. He was Jake. Not Squall. He wasn't a father, he wasn't any of those things. Yet people saw him as one. It didn't make sense. It was a mistake to come to Balamb. As soon as Halie came back, they were going to leave and go back to their peaceful existence in Galbadia.

He was going to leave this place. No more Squall.

-

"Hey Rinoa," Squall's Other snarled at her.

"What now? She said, annoyed.

"I'm seeing images... Images of Squall regaining his memory."

"Fuck you," she responded turning away from him.

"Rinoa! Damn you!" He grabbed her and pinned her down against the floor, laying on her fragile body. "What did you do?"

"I didn't do a thing!"

"I know you did, I've been watching him. He can't die because of me, I know that. And I knew he was going to lose his memory and not get it back. But I've been checking out his thoughts, and they've been thinking about some certain dreams and a certain raven haired girl..."

"Dreams?" Rinoa's Other said innocently, like she didn't know what he was talking about. "I don't know anything about dreams." She put a smirk on her face, like she did know. Obviously, she wanted him to know what she had indeed been the one making the dreams happen. But she wouldn't come right out and tell him that, now would she?

"I've got a plan, you little whore, and there's nothing you can do about it." He laughed maniacally and disappeared.

"Damn you!" Rinoa screamed and fell to her knees. What would it take to get him to leave the real ones alone?

-

Halie sighed and walked back to the hotel room where her and Jake/Squall were staying. She knew it would come to this one day. She knew that it would come to this. She knew that one day Jake would meet the people who really knew him and he'd forget all about Halie. She had known this, and now it was coming true.

Jake wasn't hers, she knew that. He had a little boy, an adorable son that looked so much like him. It had to be his. And Rinoa was there too. Rinoa couldn't get over the fact of everything. Rinoa wouldn't let go of her lover no matter how much everyone persuaded her. Halie felt sorry for her, but she also felt sorry for herself too.

Jake wasn't there so she sat herself down on the couch. She flipped on the TV, watching Balamb News and sat there staring at the TV. She really wasn't interested in this, she couldn't get Jake out of her head. She couldn't get all the stuff about him being a murderer and all out of her head. Everything was running through her mind, but somehow, it all fit.

"And, that's it for today's ne-" the TV broadcaster suddenly stopped talking and the picture froze. Technical difficulties?

"Halie," she turned to the sound of Jake's voice and found him staring at her, his icy blue eyes facing her own emerald ones. He was wearing a black cloak however. "I need you to do me a favor."

"Jake? Um what?"

He grinned at her, one of the precious few she had seen from him. "Come with me," he whispered seductively into her ear and pulled her into a black portal that had materialized in front of him.

-

"Rinoa!" Selphie came running up to her friend who was on her way to pick Matt.

"Um, aren't you supposed to be watching Matt?" Rinoa asked hesitantly.

"That's just it!" The bubbly brunette's lip was trembling slightly, as if she was not sure what to say.

"He's gone!"

"What?" Rinoa screamed at her friend. "What happened?"

"I don't know! I went to the bathroom really quick leaving Matt and Emma alone for a like a minute and then I came back back to a sobbing Emma, saying that Matt had went away!"

"Damn it!" Rinoa screamed, rather loudly causing many of the students in the hallway to give her strange looks.

"I'm sorry! We'll find him though, I promise!"

-

"Halie? You here yet?" Jake asked, letting himself back into the hotel suite. She wasn't and so he sat down on the couch to find that the TV was turned on the Balamb News. That was strange because the TV had been off when he had left. And now it was on, and the news was on. Halie didn't watch the news, he knew for a fact that she thought it was dull and boring.

He changed the channel and realized that Halie's favorite show was on. That was even stranger, as she never missed that show. So he called her cell.

The phone rang and Halie's voice mail picked up. He hung up the phone, deciding to give up and just figured she was busy or something. Seconds after he had closed the phone, it rang and he picked it up.

"Hello?" he said.

"Jake?" it was Rinoa's voice, unsteady and cracking.

"Rinoa?" he asked, now confused.

"Have you seen Matt? Like did he come to see you or anything?"

"...No. Why?"

"He's missing! I don't know where he is!"

-

She was a horrible mother and she knew it. It was now twice that her son had gone missing, first to Squall and now he was gone again. She wasn't ready to be a Mom, but she couldn't help it. It was too hard with all the stuff that was going on in Garden. Why had she been so stupid as to stay in a military school? It was simple of course, her friends were there. But he was in danger, so she regretted deciding to stay there now. But it was too late for that now. She had to find him. Everyone was out searching Balamb for him, SeeD's were dispatched to find him too. They didn't seem to happy about the job, but he was the Ex-Commander's Son and Rinoa was a member of Garden.

"Matt..." she muttered, falling down to her knees. She wasn't going to see him ever again. She had lost the two people she cared about most in the world.

"Rinoa!" she heard Jake's voice call out toward her, she looked up, tears obscuring her vision. He reached her right as she passed out.

-

"Matt, where are you!" Rinoa screamed into the darkness that was now engulfing her.

"MAMA!" She heard his soft little voice call out, but she couldn't figure out where he was at. She jerked around looking in all directions, but there was no sign of him anywhere.

"Matt!" she screamed again and the soft call of 'Mama' was heard in the distance. It was getting more and more distant every second.

She took a guess and chose to run a certain way. It was sheer gut feeling. And sure enough, she saw her son being held by a female, reaching out to his mom. Rinoa couldn't make out who the female was you but as she got closer she saw her face. The vibrant green eyes, the light brown hair, the face. It was Halie, smirking and laughing.

"Catch me if you can," she muttered and disappeared from sight.

"Ohhhh, can't find me Rinny?" Her voice said, but there was no sight of her anywhere.

"HALIE!" she screamed, pivoting every direction trying to find and view of her or Matt.

"Rinoa," she felt a strong hand be put onto her shoulder and turned around to see Jake standing there. "We'll find him, I promise!"

"Oh Jake!" she sobbed, wrapping her arms around him.

"Jake? What are you talking about... I'm Squall."

-

Rinoa just wouldn't wake up, the minute he had reached her, she had passed out cold and now he was holding her closely to his body. The search for Matt was still on and no one had had any luck. Jake didn't know what he was feeling. It was like guilt, like he had had something to do with this. Like it was his fault...

Halie... where had she gone? She hadn't come back, hadn't called and the whole city was being searched. Last thing he had known, she was with Rinoa. He was worried. Their disapperences had to be linked someone.

"It was Halie!" he heard Rinoa's voice scream out of her fragile body, her body shooting up and her eyes opening. She feel out of Jake's arms and onto the hard concrete below her.

"Halie? What?" Jake asked her.

"Squall! We have to save him!"

He sighed again. "I'm Jake, remember?"

"But you told me you were Squall! Just moments ago!"

"Worry about it later," he muttered, brushing his lips on her cheek, calming her down. "We need to find him."

-

"Where have you been?" Rinoa's Other asked impatiently, tapping her foot.

"None of your fucking buisness, you don't tell me, what makes you think I'd tell you?"

"What have you done this time?"

He smirked. "Nothing, darling." He pulled her in and kissed her lightly on the lips, but she pushed him away.

"Damn you! You're always up to something! Leave them alone!"

"You're fucking beautiful, you know that?"

"Get away from me!" She pushed him away again. "If you're not going to tell me, then I'm just going to have to figure it out on my own!"
