Chapter 3: Goodbye
Namine broke away from her father's grasp and ran. She had fully intended to run back to the car and lock herself in until her parents gained some sense (a/n yes, she's that childish. Keep in mind that DI's Bethany was pretty spoiled) until the woman stopped her midway.
"LET ME GO! LET ME GO! I WANT TO GO HOME! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!" Namine all but hollered to the moon (a/n well wouldn't you be hysterical if your parents decided to leave with someone you don't even know?).
Namine continued swearing and ranting in this vein for about five minutes. After she ran out of breath, the woman sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Alright, you just about alerted everyone in this town about your existence. Well done."
Namine, not used to being spoken in this manner, just gaped.
"At least that shut you up. Now come on. Your parents can't stay here long. Thanks to you, they've been delayed."
Shocked into silence, Namine could do nothing but obey.
Her parents were still waiting where she left them. Whimpering, Aerith pulled her into a half-suffocating hug. "We'll try to come backNammy, we promise." she whispered. Namine pushed her away. "Why do you have to leave"? she wailed. "Why are you leaving me here? What's going on?"
"Namine," Cloud said in a strained voice. "I'm sorry, but believe me, this is for the best."
He turned towards Tifa. "Take care of her."
Tifa nodded once. "Don't worry, I will."
And with that, Cloud and Aerith walked away, leaving Namine with a friend she never even knew about.
I just realized how OOC everyone is in this fic. I'M SORRY! But they need to be. It's for the sake of the story!
