The Mountains Win Again
Seifer sighed and pulled on his trench coat. Now seven years after the Ultimecia incident, he was back in Garden. But all the same, he was terribly lonely. Zell and Squall wanted nothing to do with him, and the same could be said for Rinoa. Selphie never spoke to him, and Irvine never knew him anyway. Instructor Trepe… Well, she was a whole different story. Quistis was the only one who had forgiven him for his crimes.
Still, though all that had happened, Seifer tried to stay content. To try and pick up the pieces of his shattered life.
He put on a fake smile, as he stepped out of his dorm, and into the hall. Even now, students would give him dirty looks as he passed.
I pick up my smile, And put in my pocket.
Hold it for a while, Try not to have to drop it.
Men are not to cry, so how am I to stop it?
Keep it all inside, don't show how much she rocked ya'
As he walked into the cafeteria, he didn't even bother getting anything to eat; the lunch workers would just spit in his food anyway. Looking over, he spotted Squall and Rinoa, sitting together.
They looked so happy. Seifer had to fight off a tear, as Rinoa looked his way, he dropped his gaze to the plain white table he was sitting alone at. He couldn't even look her in the eye. After all that had happened, he couldn't even look at her straight.
Ooh, can you feel the same?
Ooh, you gotta love the pain.
Yeah, it looks like rain again.
Ooh, I feel it comin' in,
The mountains win again
The mountains win again.
Remembering the fun times he had with Rinoa, that came crashing down was still painful. Everyone thought that Seifer was the one who broke off the relationship, but they were fools. She was the one who left him. She said he wasn't good enough; he didn't buy her enough things. He had still loved her all the way up to the day he went to Timber to hold the president hostage. And yet everyone still thought he broke up with her.
It was that single day that ruined his life. The day that he was stupid enough to think that kidnapping the president would make Rinoa love him again. After the incident, when Seifer was put on trail, Rinoa said things about how it hurt her that the Sorceress manipulated someone she loved. All lies. She only cared for herself. Rinoa always was good at playing the part of the innocent little girl.
Dreams we dreamed at night, were never meant to come to life.
I can't understand, the ease she pulled away her hand.
This time in my life, I was hurt enough to care.
I guess from now on, I'll be careful what I share.
Ooh, can you feel the same?
Ooh, you gotta love the pain.
Ooh, it looks like rain again.
Yeah, I feel it comin' in,
The mountains win again
Ah The mountains win again
Seifer abruptly got up from his place, rushing out of the cafeteria. It was just too painful to watch. He couldn't stand it anymore. Walking toward the training center, he decided on what he had to do.
It was the only way out. He had been grabbed by fate and ripped into pieces; it was like he was destined to be controlled by the sorceress. There was no way to avoid it; he was born to be screwed around with by fate. He was fates b.
Well screw fate, he was going to change his destiny. He couldn't be screwed around with if he was dead, and that was exactly what he was going to be in about five minutes. He slowly walked into the secret area of the training center; not realizing a certain other blonde was watching his every move.
Slowly putting Hyperion to his wrist, he took a deep breath and readied himself, as Quistis jumped out of the shadows.
"Seifer no!" Quistis yelled in concern.
"Leave me alone Instructor, I have to do this." Seifer said bitterly.
"I said NO!" Quistis used her whip to pull hyperion away. Quistis ran up and enveloped Seifer in a comforting hug, just as he collapsed to his knees in tears.
"Seifer, don't kill yourself." She whispered in his ear, as she stroked his hair. "I still love you." Quistis pressed her lips to his, giving him a gentle kiss.
Someday I will find, love again will blow my mind.
Maybe it will be, that love that got away from me.
Is there a line to write, that could make you cry tonight…
Ooh can you feel the same?
Ooh, you gotta love the pain.
Yeah, it's looks like rain again,
Yeah, I feel it comin' in,
The mountains win again.
Ooh the mountains win again…
