10 years later...Tifa's POVHigh school reunions. They can make you or break you. Good thing I am successful and have a fantastic daughter. She is now nine years old. I have never been more proud of anyone. My parents accepted my pregnancy. They understood it was a mistake and they respected my wish to keep the baby. I would've never survived without their help. Now here is the problem. Zack might be there. I mean I have lost all my weight from high school and the pregnancy and no one will probably recognize me, other than my friends, and I have forgiven him but I do have his kid and I have to tell him. I have planned to all these years. I wore a black tube dress and red lipstick. I put on black liquid liner and curled my hair. I slipped on black heels. I grabbed my purse and my car keys. "Mommy!" My daughter squealed holding out her arms for a hug. "Okay Marlene be good for your grandparents. I will be home later tonight. Please listen to them and go to sleep early! I understand it is the weekend but do not go to sleep too late! You hear me?" She nodded and hugged me. "Love you Mommy." "I love you too." I said, kissed her cheek and walked out the door. I pulled up to my old high school. I took a deep breath. Last time I even thought about high school I found out I was pregnant. I stepped out of my car and walked up to the school. I entered to the cafeteria where tables were set up. There was a welcome back sign and some music from when we were in high school. I saw Yuffie, Yuna and Lightning. Lightning dyed her hair blonde and cut it. Yuna grew out her hair and Yuffie dyed her hair a light brown. I waved to them and walked over. "HEy girls." "Wow Teef you look great! I haven't heard from ya in a while how is Marlene?" I smiled at the thought of my daughter. "She is great. I am sorry it has been so long. It is difficult you know? Being a single mom and working. I don't know how people do it." "Why didn't you bring the rugrat?" Lightning asked. "I thought it would be more appropriate if I came without a child of one of our classmates?" They all nodded in agreement. We all turned at the sound of the door opening. We saw an older Cloud walk in with his best friend Zack walking in next to him. My breath was caught in my throat. Holy shit. I was so wrong. HE looked better older than he did back in high school. I saw them walked up to a couple guys and a few girls. I saw a girl kiss Zack. That stung. Even after all these years I still loved Zack. All the girls looked at me. I brushed it off. "You okay?" Yuffie asked. "I am perfectly fine. I am glad he has moved on." I turned to see him weirdly back away from the chick. Cloud looked a little hurt. Huh I wonder who she was. Just then both guys got a glimpse of us. They started heading over to where we were standing with confident looks on their faces. Some people never change."So who are you ladies? I don't remember a group of girls that were this gorgeous going to our high school." Zack said. We rolled our eyes. "You wouldn't remember us." Yuna muttered. I confident flipped my hair and looked at him. "HEy Zack. Cloud." I said. "So you guys did go to our high school. Our apologies for not remembering." Cloud said. "That's fine, but Zack you might want to get back to your girlfriend over there. She looks like she is going to murder us." Lightning said. She looked uncomfortable around Cloud. They went out for a while after the party. Although she claimed it was a summer fling that she didn't care about I could tell it hurt her when they broke up. "Oh Aerith? She isn't my girlfriend. She is just living in the past." Zack said. "T-That's Aerith?" "Yeah that's her." Cloud said bitterly. She didn't look like the girl everyone was jealous of ten years ago. She looked more like a worn out housewife. "You don't look very impressed." Cloud said to Lightning. "We aren't." I scoffed. "We used to be jealous of that! OF THAT! That is hilarious!" I said. Zack smirked. "You think you're better?" HE joked. "Oh I know I am better! I knew she was going to go nowhere!" I laughed. Lightning smirked and Yuna and Yuffie held back a laugh. "I can't believe she used to make fun of us. I guess some people never leave high school." Yuna said. "So where is Seph you guys still friends?" Yuffie asked. "Actually he went to jail. HE set someone's house on fire. We should've guessed he was going to be unstable I mean he even drinks his coffee weird!" (Inside joke) Zack said. I laughed at that. One of my favorite songs came on. "You wanna dance?" Zack asked and held out his hand to me. All the girls looked at me. I nodded and smiled. I took his hand and we headed to the dance floor. He set his hands on my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "So you excited to see how anyone turned out?" I asked him. HE laughed. "Actually yeah. There was this girl Tifa. I made a mistake with her and I wanted to apologize officially. I was a dick and a immature teenager." "I remember her. She seemed pretty nice." I said playing along. "Yeah she was nice and I was awful to her. I probably fucked her up pretty bad." "Don't be so hard on yourself I am sure it made her stronger." "Maybe, but I shouldn't have done it." "You are right, but you can't change the past." "That's why I want to make up for it and see how she turned out." "Well I turned out fine thank you." HE looked at me weird. "What?" "You wanted to know how I turned out. I am fine. Oh and I do accept your apology." I said and laughed at his dumbfounded expression. "Tifa?"
