When You're Gone
Chapter 5: Someone Saved My Life Tonight
I don't know where I went, but I'll give you two guesses where I ended up.
I burst into the warehouse. It was the first time I'd seen it, but it was fairly empty, with boxes. I crawled into a corner and cried.
That's right, I, Yuffie, cried. I'm human, people. Just because certain people don't think that I can cry, I can.
It got darker. Soon I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw a figure walking in, silently. It was blurred from my tears, and the fact that it was nearly dark, but I saw him.
"Yuffie?" his voice asked.
It was the first time I noticed the whispy swirls of darkness around him. Where had I seen that before??
I ran over to him and buried my face in his arms. My arms flung around his waist, and I felt something metalic on his back, but I didn't think about that. I fell down, and he sat down and held me. I just cried.
His hand touched my hair. It was dark now, so I just lay there. I listened to him breath.
Once I'd seen the swirling darkness, I could hear its silent humming. It was strangly familiar, but comforting.
"What happened?" he asked.
Before I could stop myself, I spit my entire story out. Before I knew it, he knew things that I hadn't realized until I said it.
"What did I do wrong that made him love Shelke more?" I asked.
"He loves you as a friend. But he's in love with Shelke. I can tell that he's lucky to have someone who loves him enough to let him be happy, even if it hurts. I must say that I'm jealous," he whispered with a hint of a smile.
I closed my eyes and listened to him breath some more. I must have fallen asleep, for when I awoke, I was in my room.
So, who is he? ... figure it out. I like this chapter, personally. I got the idea for doing something that upsets you for someone else to be happy from Twilight.
'Someone Saved My Life Tonight' is a song by Elton John. Connection? ...maybe...
