Chapter 15
"~Seifer~
Summer is quickly approaching so long has passed since the events of the last one yet I still harbor so much anger towards the situation. I let myself be vulnerable with someone again, not just someone but her, the ice queen herself. I can't believe I let her into my life. I do suppose one good thing came out of it me and Raijin talk almost all the time now, I did end up going out and getting a cell phone like everyone style yes did have my computer but this is I hate to admit it a lot more convenient./p
I spoke with Raijin earlier this week and we have an awesome fishing weekend set up soon in fisherman's horizon. That I am looking forward to. It would have been next week but Rinoa and Puberty boy are off getting married in Esthar this weekend and decided to fly the whole garden up there with them for the celebration. I'm happy for Rinoa, she always did deserve a happy life, out of everyone she was the only person that didn't treat me like human garbage after the war. span I guess we commiserate with having our brains meddled with./p
I guess Quistis kept the whole thing secret in the end, none of her little friends ever showed up to ruin what I have here in Winhill I was expecting the lot of them to come with burning torches and pitchforks at my door, but they never came./p
Summer being around the corner I am fixing up all the flower boxes in front of the restaurant and hotel. They had been in storage over the winter and some have had some damage and fresh coat of stain is bringing them back to new./p
I see Molly walking out of the restaurant with a tray I am assuming with some food on it she places it down on one of the picnic tables.
"Hey Seifer take a minute would ya. You have been going since 7am, I brought some lunch" Molly calls out. I close my can of stain and put the brush down on top walking around her to the patio and see lunch for 2 on the tray. I mumble a thanks and sit down across from her grabbing a sandwich. "You know Seifer now that you have that cellphone of yours wouldn't hurt to try one of those dating apps" She joked, my response was an eyeroll. I regret telling her anything, after last summer I got blazingly drunk and divulged everything about my past to Molly, the sorceress war, the orphanage all of it. "okay or you could just sit around here miserable for the rest of your life"/p
"I'm not miserable, I like it here. I really don't need anyone to make me happy" I reply in hopes she will drop it.
"You we're a lot happier when she was here" She replied curtly then takes a sip of her lemonade.
"That was a dumb mistake, we have been over this, she didn't care for me at all she got what she wanted out of me and she's gone back to her friends. Need I remind you they all hate me to the point of wanting me dead" I respond "we have been over this a million times. I don't like talking about it."
"Okay, alright then, mope around the whole summer" she says picking up the tray and heading back inside leaving me to my thoughts.
"I will" I mumble to nobody left alone, Molly has good intentions but lately I don't care to hear them. I know I'm not the most pleasant to be around right now but I don't care. I open my phone and start browsing anonymously through socials. I made a fake account with the name Tucker Smith grabbed some random dudes photo, so I can see stuff now but nobody knows it's me. I don't know why I did this it just aggravates me. Maybe I like causing myself pain. Maybe I can't just let it go.
Selphie posts the most, I usually go to her page first in hopes to see any recent photos of Quistis. Most of the time it's just pictures and videos of cute cats and dogs but every once and a while I luck out. The moment I go to Selphie's page right at the top is a group photo posted 2 hours ago. span Selphie and Irvine standing on the left, Quistis and some random guy on the right posed in front of a train. The blurb at the bottom read #Esthar bound! #RinoaSquall #weddingofthecentury" Followed but another 30 of those hashtag things I haven't really understood yet and find completely obnoxious. Looking closer I realize this guy with dark long hair and tattoos has his and around Quistis' waist. Even though all this time has passed since I have actually seen her my blood starts to boil. Who is this guy, I find his page, Gladiolus Amicitia, all his photos are camping and rock climbing a real outdoorsy type. In another reality looks like a cool guy but seeing them together make's me want to tear him apart. Quistis standing there in jeans and a tshirt, her hair cascading down her shoulders looking so relaxed makes me ache, reminds me of the way she looked last summer at the orphanage. Her smile looked different though, she wasn't really smiling.
I sigh moving on zipping through Rinoa's page seeing all her Wedding announcements and wedding prep photo's she's shared news articles also posting all about the big day. Closing my phone angry now I go back about my day in complete and utter misery.
I know it's been forever! I'm sorry
I have had the rest of this in my head for years and needed the push to finish.
Thanks for your reviews! I will absolutely have the rest up withing the next week or😊
This chapter is so-so but necessary, I promise the next one is going to be great!
