Sorry it's been so long since an update, and I haven't put a disclaimer on it already. So here goes: I do not own tales of symphonia or any of the characters from it, I am not getting paid to write this, so don't bother sue me!
Well chapter 4's up now, and I was only planning on doing 3 chapters, and a fifth will be coming soon. Enjoy!
Lloyds Story:
I was so glad that now I had Colette. It was weird thinking that a few days ago, I may have never have seen her again. I just hoped that this is what she wanted; I know she was under a lot of pressure and I hope I didn't get in the way.
We were by the campfire that night, Colette was really tired so she was just sitting by herself, near the tent, and she said she wouldn't able to get to sleep. I was really worried about her. But looking back at everything, was it all pointless? I mean, she had way more to deal with, without having me there.
Raine came over to me and asked if she could have a word. We had told her about Colette and me earlier on that day.
"You and Colette, it's just…." Raine began
"Look, I know you think I'll just be getting in the way of everything and I distracting her from what's important, but this isn't just a childish crush. I love her." I protested.
"Lloyd, look, I'm not about to break you to up. I just want you to think of her, Does she really want to be with you when she already has all of this on her shoulders?"
"I know she's under a lot of pressure, and she wants to be with me!" I carried on, getting protective.
"Like I said, just make sure this is what she wants. Ok?" Raine said as she got up and walked away back to the tent, leaving my outside by my self.
Colettes Story:
I could believe it. We were finally together. But now of all times to start a relationship with some one wasn't the greatest. Even if I did love him, but I guess, since I started this quest, they'd never be a great time for something like that. But, I mean, I was losing all hope of everything, and I hadn't even started the quest then. Maybe he was what I needed to do this. Hope. I was sure I couldn't do this without him, but with him here, he just assures me everything's going to be OK. Even without saying anything.
We were at the campfire one night. I went to sit by the tent. I hadn't been able to sleep for days. Lloyd stayed where he was. After I went, Raine went over to speak to him. I think she must have wanted to speak to him about me. I saw her face when we told her we were together. It was of utter disapproval. I just hoped she wasn't giving him a hard time over us. I saw Raine leave him and go to her tent. He stayed there for a while longer, looking at the sky. We hadn't talked much since Triet. Walking holding hands was as far is it got. We weren't sure what the others thought of us. and I guess Raines chat with Lloyd confirmed what we thought. I just hoped she hadn't changed his mind about us. He told me he loved me, but could he change his mind that easily? Could he go back to wanting us to be friends? Would I go back to worrying about if I can do this? I was sitting there watching Lloyd. He was daydreaming staring into the night sky. I'll always love you Lloyd. No matter what happens, I'll always love you, I promise.
