DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE STORY

I have decided to keep going with this so skip if you don't want some parts ruined.

So this was meant to be a one shot but I can keep it going if anyone thinks I should. So yeah :] read and enjoy!

Tifa walked along the sidewalk. Fog was hanging in the air making everything slightly wet. She pushed back a strand of hair as she unlocked the door to her home. Ha. Home. More like hell. She hoped her father was still sleeping she thought as she closed the door quietly. It made the slightest "click"

"Tifa! Is that you! Get your no good ass in here!" her father yelled from the living room. Crap! She thought and dumped her school bag on the ground walking into the living room. She had been out late walking around enjoying her free time.

"You're ten minutes late! Where were you! Whoring around like your no good mother I bet!" he said from the couch and took a swig of beer. He was drunk. He made it to at least 8 today. Go him.

"I was getting something..." she mumbled

"Yeah getting some dick from that blond bastard" he sneered. That hit a nerve. And he knew it

"Cloud is not a bastard!" she yelled. Nor would he ever want me in such a way... She thought

"Don't raise your voice at me!" he cried and threw the beer bottle at her. She dodged it and it hit the wall

" Don't avoid punishment either bitch!" this got him off the couch and after her. She turned to run but he grabbed a handful of her long brown hair. Dragging her backwards she hit the floor. She kicked him in the knee and turned to crawl away. He grabbed her ankle and threw her on the couch

"Go away you damn brute!" she screamed. He punched her in the face

And she rolled off the couch and took off running. She ran out the door and to the only safe place she knew

Cloud's house

She climbed the tree to his room and knocked the glass. First making sure that her hair covered her cheek. She could feel her cheek throb in pain. Cloud opened the window smiling and she climbed in.

"Hey Tif, what's up?" he said

"Oh nothing really. Just got bored and decided to drop by" she said and sat on his bed. He sat next to her

"What happened to your arms they're all red?"

"Ummm I don't know probably from climbing the tree"

"Bull. You've done that a million times. Why are you hiding your face?"

She turned away but he turned her face to his. He gently tucked her hair behind her ear revealing her bruising growled

"I'm going to kill him"

" No cloud…it's okay. I'm fine"

"No you're not! Look at what he did to you!" cloud was yelling

" It's not like it's the first time…" she mumbled. Cloud never acted this way. He turned towards her kneeling in front of her.

"And this will be the last time. I swear it"

She looked into his blue eyes wondering where all of this came from

" Tifa…I love you. I want to protect you. You are the only thing that matters to me. I can be your Jack if you will be my Rose"

She smirked he knew Titanic was one of her favorite movies

"Really?" this was too good to be true. No one as perfect as Cloud would ever want someone as damaged as her

"Yes Tifa." he said

"But I'm so damaged…and quiet and troublesome and ugly and-"

Cloud cut her off putting a finger to her lips

"You are not ugly. Nor are you any of those other things" he said sternly

Then he kissed her

Those perfect lips.

His beautiful eyes…

He was all she wanted, and somehow he felt the same for her

Maybe love did exist…
