When You're Gone
Chapter 6: Refugee
I blinked awake. Wasn't I crying in the warehouse with him?
Then I mentally slapped myself. Why did I let this person I barely know see me so weak?!
I sighed and stood up. I dressed and went downstairs. Vincent was looking through some papers.
"Did you lock yourself out last night?" he asked.
"Yeah," I lied. He nodded. I sat down and watched him.
"Does Shelke mean everything to you?" I finally blurted out.
Vincent looked at me and didn't say anything. She does...!
Anger surged through me. This was my perfect chance for sweet revenge!
"Because I understand if she does," I said, "If you've found someone you love..."
"I do love her."
"And I know we'll only ever be friends, no matter what I want," I said as I walked around, as though thinking.
"What do you mean?"
"I only knew you longer. But she must remind you of Lucrecia, I mean, why else choose her over me?" I asked darkly.
"What?"
"Oh, come on," I turned, "Clearly you love her because she reminds you of Lucrecia. Or is it something else about her that you like better than me? I mean, maybe it's that your all depressing and logical and stuff."
"I don not love her because she reminds you of Lucrecia!" Vincent snapped.
"Yeah. That's just a bonus."
"Stop it, Yuffie!"
"Why? I'm just saying it the way I see it. You both act like you're the only ones who ever got hurt," I snapped back.
"What are you trying to say?" Vincent asked.
"Nothing," I said innocently, then slammed my hands on the table, "Only I'm angry at you! Do you think that I'm fine with her going off with you? Well, I';m not!"
"Is that what this is? You're jealous?"
"Jealous? JEALOUS?" I seethed, "I'm not jealous of her. It's like you and Lucrecia and Hojo. Are you jealous of Hojo?"
"No!"
"Exactly. I'm not jealous of Shelke. Just hurt. But you go with Shelke. You guys were made for eachother," I said as I stormed out of the room.
Well...ouch. Sorry for the long update. I've been...messing around with this idea.
'Refugee' is by Melissa Etheridge. If you listen to it, it's kinda like what Yuffie's saying to Vincent about living like he's the only one who's gotten hurt...good song.
But seriously, I've been having fun writing this. There aren't enough of these fanfictions. Thank you Anonymous, A, and les yeux sans visage for reviewing.Anonymous
