"Yeah........ Umm promise........" Tifa added with a pause as she turned to him. Her heart raced faster in her chest as she gazed for a few seconds in his eyes searching his eyes for an answer for what she was about to ask. Would he say yes and agree to her promise or laugh at it? She was afraid to ask but at the same time afraid of never seeing him again, that this might be her only chance and for that Tofa gathered her courage ready to take it.
"Umm........ if you get really famous and I'm ever in a bind..... You come save me, all right?" She avoided his eyes as she stood there waiting to hear his answer. She stood there nervous as ever as she played with her hair before tucking it behind her ear.

"Yeah........ Umm promise........"
"Umm........ if you get really famous and I'm ever in a bind..... You come save me, all right?" Famous? Him? No one is famous. Well except for Sephiroth and Genesis...And the other 1ST Class Soldier....Angeal...Was another...Cloud could never be that great....He even had doubts already that he would get accepted into Soldier....Because he was not built for it....
Then she made the promise....And he smiled...."Alright Tifa. I promise...." There. He said it. He seemed to let out a low sigh afterwards...It would be a tough promise but he would do his best to keep it.....He saw her looking in his eyes again....What was up with that? Did she get some pleasure from it? He was young so he had no idea she was in love with him then...Well, actually he had no idea how to love like that....He was dumbstruck in that area....But he noticed how hard it was for her to ask the promise itself....Was she scared he'd say no?

"you will......?" Tifa's face light up as she beamed happily. She didn't think Cloud would say yes so easily and thought it would take more to persuade him. "Thank you Cloud you have no idea how much this means to me....... I always wanted to experience that having um a hero to save me when I am in trouble......" She avoided telling the truth about her feelings. She didn't think he felt anything for her why would he? She noticed that he caught her looking in to his eyes and blushed looking away.

"you will......?"
"Thank you Cloud you have no idea how much this means to me....... I always wanted to experience that having um a hero to save me when I am in trouble......"
There was that word again. Hero. Why was she say that? He was no hero. He almost got her killed. Cloud simply looked down...Of course right now it would be natural he thought like he was thinking now. It would only be when he meets Zack he feels a bit more passionate about being a hero....
"It's okay Tifa. I'm gonna try and not let any thing else happen to you. Maybe we can even write each other....I have your address maybe I can write you first.....I bet your daddy will be happy that I leave...." After what Mr. Lockhart last said about him....Finally thought, Cloud was relieved that he had this little time with Tifa....Who knew when he would see her again....

"My father....... wait is that why your leaving to join Soldier? This is because I fell right...... did he say something to Cloud?" This was what worried Tifa what if her father or her friends were the reason for Cloud wanting to leave. She knew everyone blamed him for what happened to her but it was never his fault and she explained that to them but they didn't listen to her.

Cloud now was the one that turned away from her. And sighed as he lowered his head and folded his arms across his chest. It was the reason. She had figured it out. But he was not going to answer to her. He would never tell her the truth. This was when he began to hide things and keep her in the dark.
He couldn't tell her that she was the main reason he was leaving. He was doing this for her. He made an oath. He would never ever get her hurt again. She would also see the pain in him if she looked him the eyes. He didn't want to leave the one person that has only been the only friend he has ever had....This was literally breaking his heart...But it was some thing he would have to do if he wanted to get what he wanted....

"It is isn't it......?" Tifa asked as she turned and sat down. She didn't need him to answer her question and could tell by just looking deep into his eyes that look told her everything. She sighed glancing down to the floor as she felt her heart sink in guilt. She did blame herself for what happened now. 'Its because of me everyone has been giving him a hard time......... and its because of that he is leaving.....' Her tears came but she held them inside with a forced smile as she looked back at Cloud.

Cloud continued to look down when she asked that the reason he was leaving was because of her....He couldn't answer that. But she was not the reason he was leaving. He was leaving for her basically...That was it. But yes, some hatred came towards the people of this town....Cloud sighed then. But he looked up into her eyes after she was looking in his...
That was when he lifted his hand up to touch her cheek. This would be the first time he would do that. But it was only an act of friendship. To try and ease her pain for her. Some thing would spark then. But Cloud only over looked it. As he was only a teenager...."Don't worry about me...I'll be better off leaving any way...But know this....I'm not leaving you...Not forever okay...Understand that please Tifa....You're my best friend..."

"I am okay Cloud really......." That was a lie but Tifa wasn't going to say anything more. She was afraid of saying it how she felt, he didn't feel the same way and if he knew she was afraid it might ruin their friendship she couldn't let that happen and just bottled up her feelings inside. She diverted her eyes to look away after his hand touched her and tried to hide her blush. "I understand Cloud..... so you don't have to worry about me just don't forget about your promise okay......"

"Tifa I'll never forget. I promise." He saw her turn away after he touched her. Again he had no idea how hard this was for her. His touch on her was some thing that was she loved...And he was making it worse now as he placed his hand on her shoulder....But he was confused why she turned away from him..... "I'm not the greatest around you know that. I make mistakes to....Probably more than others here...Tifa my mom does know that I'm leaving will....Will you look after her? I know your mom and my mom were once good friends....Please...My mom doesn't understand why I wanna do this..." Cloud still did not know why Tifa's mom died...And that it was because the same company that Cloud wanted to join was the reason for her death....
((Hope this last part is ok^^))

"Thank you Cloud...... that promise means a lot to me....." Tifa stopped right there she didn't want to say anything more but she already did and was afraid that he might guess her feelings. He moved closer when she turned away. He was just making things a lot harder on her.
"Cloud...." She backed away but turned to look at him as she held her tears back. She knew nothing about that place Shinra only her father hated that place and got upset every time she said that name why though she didn't really know.
"I will try Cloud your mother was always nice and kind to me and you already did a lot for me so its my time now...." Tifa said with a forced smile on her lips.

That was when Cloud grabbed a hold of her and hugged her tightly. This was harder on him. He was leaving everything he knew. "You'll be okay. But I'm sorta scared of leaving. I'm going to a new place...I've never been. I only hope I don't hurt any one. Tifa please promise me this that you'll be okay. I can't leave with out knowing you'll be okay...." He wanted to enjoy this last few days he had with her. Even if it meant that he had to sneak around to see her. He was going to see her. He just wanted to make sure that she was going to be okay.
"And who knows...Maybe I'll meet the great Sephiroth....If I do I'll drop you a line and let you know..."

"Cloud....." Another surprise and he hugged her. Did he know how hard he was making things for her. She wanted to tell him how she felt but no she couldn't risk it. He didn't feel the same way she already dropped a lot of hints for him but so far he has done nothing and now he was leaving. Apart of it will always be her fault no matter what he said. It was because of her actions he was leaving to become stronger, a soldier but why?
Tifa felt her heart racing this was too much for her. Blocking those emotions from surfacing she backed away and lowered her gaze to the ground. "I said I would be fine.... you don't need to worry about me....." those words were a lie but she couldn't say the truth.

Clouds mind was so filled with guy things....Like being a Soldier 1ST Class seemed like some thing he needed to do. So love was not even in his mind right now. He was a guy for crying out. He would not think about love right now. He still had no idea how hard he was making things for Tifa. That she did think about it. That she was in love with him....
"Okay. I believe what you say. I have to. If not I'd spend my entire time worrying about you...." He meant that though....Even though he never showed her love....He showed her plenty of friendship....And that's how he meant it....

Tifa backed away and turned away from Cloud. She was giving up she saw the look in his eyes he didn't have any love for her. It was clear he only saw her as a friend 'thats all I will ever be to him.....' Her heart sank at the moment she thought of that and turned away from Cloud.
"I told you I will be fine you don't have to worry about me......" That was a lie but she couldn't tell him the truth not now or ever, she just had to find a way to get over her feelings because she thought she wound never see him again.
