A/N: I would like to thank those who gave me songs for this fic, and your chapters will be coming soon XD
I dedicate this fic to a special someone: to Tim, who knows exactly what to say.
Disclaimer: I do not own the FFVII thingy in this story, I do not own Broken by Seether and Amy Lee.

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
It was March 14th, the bar was closed, and it was a Sunday, of course. Cloud had opted to take the day off; it was supposed to be a beautiful day, until it rained. The rain had ruined all their plans of a picnic.
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
So instead of sitting out in the sun, Cloud, Tifa, Denzel, and Marlene sat inside the house, hoping that something would happen. Cloud looked at Tifa, he felt torn. He felt his old life still beckoning him, but this new life was pulling him too. The answer was obvious which way to go, but it was hard.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away
She noticed him looking at her, and she smiled. Cloud found it hard not to smile back, so he smiled. Denzel and Marlene looked at each other, grinned and ran upstairs.
You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore
Tifa went up to Cloud, seeing something was bothering him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." He replied immediately, it was a lie of course.
"Cloud…" She started, but was interrupted by some crashing from upstairs
They went upstairs to see what new disaster awaited them. They saw Denzel and Marlene whacking each other with pillows.
"…AM NOT!" Marlene shouted.
"ARE TO!" Denzel shouted back.
Tifa ran and separated them. "CLOUD, A LITTLE HELP!" Tifa shouted over the ruckus.
Cloud grabbed Denzel and pulled him away from Marlene, both still swinging the pillows in the air, trying to hit each other.
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Cloud shuffled Denzel in his arms to free one hand and grabbed the pillow from him. The two children stopped fighting. They set them down, who both stuck their tongues out at each other.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
and I don't feel like I am strong enough
"What is going on here?" Tifa asked.
"Well, Denzel didn't want to play dolls with me; he just wanted to play his stupid video games."
"No, that's not true."
"Yes it is."
"No."
"Yes."
"Calm down." Cloud said, and the two shut up. "Now, continue what you were saying."
"So, he called me a meanie."
"Did not."
"Did to."
"So, she grabbed a pillow and hit me, so I hit her back."
"No, he started it."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did."
"No."
"Yes."
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away
Cloud couldn't help but grin at those two, Tifa had somehow kept a straight face.
"Enough." Tifa said. "I want you two to apologize to each other, and shake hands."
"Oh, alright. Marlene, I'm sorry for calling you a meanie."
"Denzel I'm sorry for hitting you with a pillow."
They both shook hands
Cloud and Tifa went back downstairs, and grabbed something to drink.
"Thanks for helping with the kids, Cloud." Tifa said.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away
"Your welcome." Cloud said with a smile, they both went back upstairs and watched the two laughing and playing.
Cloud knew exactly where he had to be.
You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore
