"I....." She tried to hold on as she pulled herself up but that didn't work. She looked up at Cloud as she shook her head "I can't..... Cloud I am scared....." Tifa was beyond that she was terrified. She tried to pull herself up tried to hold on but so fat that wasn't working.
She panicked clinging to him by one hand her. Would he save her..... could h same her? Tifa trusted him completely with her life she knew she couldn't do anything now..... he had to try and pull her up to save her before she falls.

"I....." "I can't..... Cloud I am scared....." "I...I know you're scared...I am too! But honey you have to help me too....Pull yourself upwards and I can probably pull you up over the age....! Please!! Don't give up!! If you do, we both fall!" He tried to pull her up any way....Because she asked him to. He could not let her fall. He just couldn't....If so the out come would be bad on his part...Very bad....He would be blamed...And that made him cringe....All blame would be placed on him.....He was slipping as well, but he did not want to tell her that...She would feel it as she was slipping...Tears started to fall from his own eyes....
Cloud was trying with all his might....To keep her from falling...But the root in the ground then snapped....And it made him lose his balance...."TIFA!!! I'm Sorry!!" He then screamed as his whole body started falling head first off the cliff! But he still had a grip on her hand....If only she would grab a hold to some thing else that might help slow down the fall!

"I.... I can't...." Tifa did try but couldn't even pull herself to grab on the edge or hold on with her other hand as well. After a long climb she was exhausted to do anything, and the fear only made things worse. She kept glancing down afraid to fall afraid to do anything but hold on but her hands were slipping......
"Cloud....." she looked in his eyes and knew it he couldn't hold on much longer. The root he was gripping on to couldn't support them both and before she was able to try anything he fell head first off the edge with her.
Tifa screamed clinging to anything she could try and hold but nothing worked...... She couldn't even keep holding his hand ans separated as she fell on the ground hard. She didn't more or wake up and her body was covered with bruises from......

Cloud blacked out as he hit the ground on his back....All goes black.....
Two days later....Cloud woke up in his bed room....He groaned slightly....And felt a hand was holding his...."Hey baby...Welcome back...." Cloud had a bad bruise on his fore head and a few bad scratches on his arms and cheeks...."Mom?" He asked weakly......"Yeah...Baby it's me. You had a terrible fall on that cliff....." Cloud looked right at her....And remembered Tifa.....He sat up straight in his bed....."Mom....Where's Tifa? Is she alright too?" Mrs. Strife looked down....She did not know how to answer that question....When she looked up, Cloud saw the concerness in her expression....."She...She's in the hospital.....In a coma...."
Cloud gasped....."No....I saved her.....she's home isn't? she" Denial....."Honey calm down.....It's true....She's at the hospital...The doctors say that she may never wake up again....." Cloud jumped out of bed....And rushed over to grab his shoes....."You've gotta take me there now!" His mother looked down....But she knew her son....And he wanted to do this.....She walked with him to her vehicle and they rode to the hospital.....A nurse showed them where to go....And Cloud walked into the quiet room....He saw Tifa....She was what it looked like asleep....He walked over to her side.....And grabbed her hand in his...."I'm so sorry I couldn't save you...." Cloud looked up out the window and saw Tifa's father with his mother talking.....Heatedly obviously.....

Out in a coma the doctors said that she might not make in and die with in days. Her situation was getting worse and after a few days passed she wasn't waking up. She laid there in the bed completely motionless...... with bruises on her arms and legs. It was impossible for her to wake up those were the words they told her father. She was dying slowly and at the end of the week might take her last breath. No one expected Tifa to recover from this.

Cloud looked back down at Tifa. As he did not let go of her hand. And rubbed it gently...He blamed himself for all of this....If he was smarter he would've ran to get her father and let him know what she was up to...But no...He was stupid to think that he could rescue her.....Cloud looked up at Tifa's father....And heard him yelling at his mother....And that was when Cloud walked into the hall way.....
"Mom...." Mrs. Strife sighed...She did not want to bring Cloud here because of Tifa's father.....
"Son....Just go back in there with Tifa....I'm not through with Mr. Lockhart....!" Mrs. Strife said as she looked coldly at the man.....
"No! I'm not leaving....Mr. Lockhart....It...It was my fault....I wasn't strong enough....I...I'm sorry....." He down then when he was finished......

"You couldn't protect her you just had to let her fall didn't you..... my daughter is dying because of you" Anger and blaming others was the one way for him to grief. He lost his wife a few years ago and now... he was losing his daughter in front of his eyes with nothing to do but wait till she breaths her last breath.
"Mom....?" Tifa asked unsure she glanced down to see herself standing on the edge of the mountain. How did she make it up there she remembered she fell. Was this a dream or was the rumor real? She turned to stare at her mother in disbelieve she was standing there in front of her bathed in white light. "Its me..... you came to see me didn't you?" Tears flew downs as she nodded hurrying to hug her mother this was real it had to be.
"You don't know how much I missed you...... how much I dreamed of this day" "but I can't stay here for ever and neither can you. we both must go back but this is our change to say goodbye like we both wanted" Tifa nodded letting go of the hug as she gazed into her mothers eyes. "I wanted to see you one last time...... to say this goodbye mother." She faded soon after and Tifa was left standing alone on the edge between life and death.

"You couldn't protect her you just had to let her fall didn't you..... my daughter is dying because of you" Cloud had not known the truth as to why Tifa's father was acting this way towards him. So Cloud took it literally....It was then that Cloud realized that he could not help any one. His little heart was broken. For what Mr. Lockhart told him....That was when tears fell from his eyes...."Have you no heart Mr. Lockhart. My son did everything he could do to save your daughter. And you are taking it out on him....Why? Why are you and everyone else in this town is so mean to my son....Who always tries to do the right thing....Why? Come along Cloud....." "No Mom...Leave me a lone!! Just leave me alone!!!!" And that was when he ran away from them and Mrs. Strife looked up at Mr. Lockhart...."I hope you're happy now....You made him feel like he was responsible....Which he is not!!"

"It is his fault....... He wasn't strong enough to protect her. Too busy trying to be hero...... Someone like him can never be a hero. He doesn't deserve Tifa's friendship." Those words came out with anger and hatred. He didn't really mean them though just needed someone to direct his anger at instead of blaming himself or thinking about losing his daughter. He turned and walked away after that, there was nothing more to say.
For how long she was in a coma Tifa didn't know. She opened her eyes slowly to glance around the room she was in. A hospital..... She sighed slowly sitting up to notice bruises on her legs and arms. So it wasn't a dream she really did fall. Cloud what happened to him she was worried about him...... There want time to think as Tifa head footsteps and turned to look at the door when they came closer.

"It is his fault..." Struck in Clouds mind all that time...Cloud never went back to the hospital. He was afraid to bump into Tifa's father again. He was worried about Tifa though. It took him a long time to get to sleep. He secretly cried himself quietly to sleep....Other wise his mom would hear him....He had no choice but to leave now....But he was waiting for the right time to tell Tifa everything..."Cloud honey Tifa woke up today....She's going to be alright..." Clouds mom said as she peered in his bed room door placing on an ear ring getting ready for work...."Mom...Do you have to leave?" Cloud asked as he looked away from his window sill....Mrs. Strife sighed as his question...."I don't want to leave but if I don't we won't be able to pay the bills...." Cloud nodded slightly as he continued to look out the window again....And his mom just sighed at the condition his son was in was not good at all....She only hoped that he did not take what Mr. Lockhart said too literally...But she knew her son....And that's what scared him....Once some one told him some thing he stuck by it....Cloud was now sitting on the porch waitting for Tifa to come home.....But he knew her father would not let him see her....He just wanted to see her before she got into her house.....

"Dad....." Tifa saw her father walk in and hugged her as he cried. "I thought I was going to lose you too" She sighed looking down, Tifa only thought about seeing her mother and never thought of how others felt about this. She got her wish and saw her mother one last time before saying goodbye, but she wasn't going to tell anyone about this. They would probably not believe her and think she hit her head too hard or something. She knew it was true though and that was enough. "I am sorry I scared you..... I didn't mean to it just...... I wanted to see her again....." That was all she said and the rest she kept to herself.
A few minutes later Tifa was ready to leave and walked out from the hospital with her father. She climbed into the car and they drove home. There was something on her mind..... Cloud she wanted to know how he was or what happened but she wasn't sure if she should ask her father.

Cloud knew when Tifa arrived back home. He heard the car pull in the drive way. He too saw the head lights. He remained in his bed room though. He was worried about Tifa. But after what her father said to him, he knew he would never see Tifa again. He's made his mind up now. He was going to leave soon to join Soldier...And show this town what he was made of. Little did he know that his life would change in his future....
Cloud sighed as he wondered what Tifa was doing...Was she even okay now? He had to find a way to see her....He couldn't sleep with out worrying about her. He blamed himself for what happened to her as well. As he walked around to his bed he sat on it and sighed heavily...He was really alone....Tifa was the only reason he was staying in this small country town....He cared about her. Probably more than those so called friends of hers....who in fact chickened out at that long climb......

Tifa climbed out of the car and glanced up at Cloud's home with a sigh was he there? She wanted to see him and searched for his window but then a hand grabbed hers pulling her away. "Come on...." Her father said leading her to the house and Tifa had to follow. She walked in and up to her room. A tear fell but she wiped it away sitting on her bed. If anything happened to him it was her fault.... why did she have to climb that mountain "I am sorry......."

That was when Cloud decided to take matters into his own hands and call her. He picked up his cell phone on his night stand....And strolled down to her name...'Tifa Lockhart' He had a very short list. But he again did not have many friends....
And he hesitated to call her now. What if she was still tired? Cloud was always like this. He was scared that she would not be allowed to answer. What if her father had the phone? A lot of idea ran through his mind. Like he was going to try his best to ignore her father as much as possible...After what that man said to him, was enough to down Cloud's spirits....
Finally he pushed the call button. This would be the first time he has ever called Tifa. She always called him...Why didn't she call him when she was planning to climb that cliff? He could've made sure she got up there safely......Ring....Ring....Ring.....went the cell....He was trying to be brave....But he was shaking in his boots right now....

Tifa sat down on her bed feeling exhausted and tired. Even though she just woke up from the coma. Her body still needed time to recover as some of her bruises were still not healed. She lied down on her bed and was about to fall asleep when she heard her phone ring. "Who could that be.......?" She asked in wonder forcing herself up to her feet before she made her way to the table and picked up her phone. She couldn't believe it when she read the name was it really him? Cloud was calling her for the first time ever. Tifa quickly flipped her phone open and pressed the answer key before lifting her phone up to her ear to answer it.
"Hello..... Cloud is that you?"
