Chapter 4: Another Broken Heart

***Author's note: Yeah well first I'd like to thank those who are
actually reading my story. I wrote most of it at midnight on various
nights I couldn't sleep and because it's the only time I can write
with out distractions yeah so if the plot drags that's why.

Tifa lie awake in bed examining her ring that Mason had presented to
her earlier that day. She then began to recall what Barret had said as
Cloud ran off. " `He just got rejected by a bar maid.' What's that
supposed to mean me? How did I reject him? Was Barret referring to
when me and Cloud almost... kissed?" Tifa thought. "I'll ask Barret
what he meant tomorrow." Tifa lay down next to her new Fiancée and
tried to fall asleep. Yet, something still dwindled in her mind. She
positively needed to know what Barret meant. Tifa sat up and put on
her attire and her brown boots and ran off to Barret's apartment, in
which he shared with his adoptive daughter, Marlene, two streets over.
The neon lights still gleamed in the midnight sky and she briskly
paced. Quickly, Tifa scaled the stairs all the way up to the fifth
floor. "Lemme see 508, five zero eight. Eureka!" exclaimed Tifa.
Frantically she thrashed the door with the side of her fist. At twelve
mid night a rather large angry black man with a loaded gun for an arm
answered the door to the tiny apartment.

"DAMNIT woman its midnight whatcha want?" said and sleepy and angry
Barret.

"What did you mean `he go his heart broken by a bar maid' earlier?!"

"Fuckin' hell you came down to ask me that? Goddamn."

"I NEED TO KNOW BARRET!" she yelled and grabbed the man by the collar
of his pajama shirt. This time neighbors popped heads out of their
doors to see what all the commotion was about.

"A'ight, a'ight," Tifa released Barret. "He went to your house to tell
ya how he felt. Then he ran out of the city pissed. I dunno what you
said to him but it musta hurt bad I ain't neva seen a man run that
fast outta city `fore."

"But I didn't talk to him tonight after I left the bar after my
shift... OHMIGOSH... He musta saw Mason propose... I gotta go thanks
Barret." Tifa ran as fast as she could out of the building and out of
the city. She flew the air-ship that Cid and his wife Shera made
especially for Tifa and Barret all the way to Costa Del Sol.

Sleepily Cloud answered the tapping at his door. There stood Tifa wide
eyed, it surprised him.

"Hey Cloud." she half smiled.

"Hey Tif. What you doing here?"

"...Cloud... Do you... love me?" she asked hesitantly.

Cloud stood in stocked and surprised. `Am I dreaming. I have to be.'

"T-T-Tifa... I... I...I...'m sorry... I gotta get some sleep... I
gotta-lot of work to do in the morning." He remarked nervously. Her
eyes looked hurt his remark and she ran off broken hearted once again.
