Aerith was walking through the hall way to Cloud's room....She was worried about them....Like any mother would be for her family....She walked swiftly down the hall way....She saw Cloud walk down the stairs....He was leaving? What was wrong? Aerith then saw it....She saw Tifa crounched on the floor....She obviously had been crying....
"Tifa....What's happened? Are you alright?" She asked as she rushed to her friend and knelt down in front of her......You could see that Aerith was concerned.....

"I am fine..." Tifa lied with a forced smile as she got up. She was still holding the pain and her tears back and that all would show in her eyes. Still Tifa smiled as if nothing was wrong.
Things were tearing her apart inside but Tifa just ignored it all. She was trying to to give in to the pain especially not in front of her friends. No she had to be strong she had to fight this.

"I am fine..."
"Tifa....How long are you just going to hold it all inl? Till it gets so bad you just burst out in tears at the wrong time and place? Honey have you looked at yourself lately? I mean really looked at yourself....Any one would see the pain....Cloud left didn't he....?"
Aerith was not stupid....She knew Tifa...And that the girl was crying.....Or had just stopped....But Aerith knew Tifa's pride always stood in the way of what Tifa wanted to do......

"I am fine Aerith... really its nothing" Tifa lied yet again with a forced smile. Yes she was in pain and yes she wanted to cry but Tifa couldn't especially not in front of Aerith. She has already been through a lot lately and Tifa didn't want to worry her friend. Maybe if things were different Tifa would tell her and let her feelings out but now she just had to stay strong for all of them.
Tifa sighed and looked down with a nod once Aerith asked her about Cloud. "Yeah he left..." That was all Tifa could say but now she wasn't even looking at Aerith but down at the floor.

"I am fine Aerith... really its nothing"
Not another lie....Aerith just sighs....and looked down for a moment....Tifa wanted Cloud to change... Well, it was Tifa's turn to change as well.....Aerith had a feeling that Tifa was hiding her grieve from Cloud as well....She would have to face this....
"Yeah he left..."
Another sigh came from Aerith....When will Cloud learn that running away from his problems is not the answer? Aerith hoped and prayed that Cloud would just forget about the past.....But right now, Aerith knew what Cloud was doing.....She saw all the papers on his desk in his bed room when ever he was not there.....
"Tifa.....I'm sorry...." Was all she could say at that moment.....

"Its okay" Tifa said with a warmer smile as she looked up at Aerith. "For now he want's to be alone I guess but he will come back soon." Tifa was triying to keep her thoughts positive, although she was too worried about what Cloud might do.
"Um Aerith About Zack I found something... I am still not sure but I think I might know where he is" Tifa thought that it was best to tell Aerith what she found. Now seemed like a good time and she new Aerith needed Zack.

"Its okay"
"For now he want's to be alone I guess but he will come back soon."
"Um Aerith About Zack I found something... I am still not sure but I think I might know where he is"
Aerith looked up with hope in her eyes....So Tifa knew some thing huh? What could it be? What ever it was, Aerith hoped that it was good news....And not bad....He had to be back....Maybe he was just lost...And couldn't find Aerith....If Aerith knew Zack. Then Aerith would know the first place Zack would look for her....The Church in the Slums....But as it is....Aerith is not there....She's chosen to live here with her friends....Aerith knew that was the right thing....And the safest thing to do.....Since Sephiroth might be back as well....Sephiroth might be looking for Aerith....That's what scared the Ancient....Is that Sephiroth would want to re-peat history all over again.....To use her to break Cloud some how....Aerith couldn't let that happen....
"Tifa....What is it then....? Please tell me....."

"Well... a few of the residents mentioned seeing him go down to the Slums. It might just be some one that looks like him. But he also might be looking for you there..." Aerith probably knew what Tifa was talking about. The old church she used to live in.
At fist Tifa didn't want to say anything, at least not until she knew for sure that Zack was really back but after seeing how much Aerith was hurting Tifa thought that it was best to let her friend know maybe to give her some hope.

"Well... a few of the residents mentioned seeing him go down to the Slums. It might just be some one that looks like him. But he also might be looking for you there..."
Aerith looked down....Might be? Or might not be....Aerith ached to see those eyes that lived in Zack....Aerith was hurting....She was at the point in giving up...Every one else was finding their true loves but her....She was a lone....
"It's...It's ok Tifa....What if he does not come back? What if Sephiroth finds me....Tifa....I'm scared....I should've stayed dead.....I've put you through so much...the last thing you need is some one that doesn't know how to live her own life....Because her boy friend is not back. I...know now that Cloud would do any thing to protect me....But Tifa...Maybe it's better for every one....That Sepiroth repeats history all over again....If it happens...I'll make certain that Cloud is not there....Knowing Cloud he couldn't handle to see that again.....I'm sorry he still blames himself....Tifa he hates me.....I just know it....I...I'm gonna go find Cloud and bring him back to you.....He's gone to Neblehiem.....I know....We can't let Sephiroth find him first....."

"Aerith wait..." Tifa knew this would be hard on Aerith that was why she didn't want to tell her until she was certain. Now though she was worried about what she just heard. Was Aerith really going to let Sephiroth end her life again?
"Don't say that... your not a burden Aerith you are my friend and I am glad to do anything to help you. Even risk my own life to stop Sephiroth you know that. As for Zack how about believing that he really is back and looking for you. You two will be back together again I will make sure of that."

"Aerith wait..."
Aerith stopped....And sighed she looked down....
"Don't say that... your not a burden Aerith you are my friend and I am glad to do anything to help you. Even risk my own life to stop Sephiroth you know that. As for Zack how about believing that he really is back and looking for you. You two will be back together again I will make sure of that."
Aerith let a long strand of her brown hair fall over her cheek as she lowered her head even more......She was right...this depression was so not like Aerith.....But since she has not seen Zack...Then it started....But Tifa was there for her....And she was grateful for that....Aerith was friends with Tifa as far back as she could remember.....It was amazing how well Tifa surivived a cruel world.....She has a hero....Cloud. That was certain....Aerith knew that Cloud would not hesitate now to safe her or Tifa....Aerith does not blame Cloud...She never did....
"I can try that. But Tifa....You have to make Cloud know that I don't blame him for any thing.....He came for me....That's all that mattered....."

Tifa smiled her bright smile as she placed her hand on Aeriths shoulder. "Don't worry I will as soon as I get the chance but now you have to promise me not to give up okay?" Tifa wasn't going to let Sephiroth take anyone from her again. If she had to fight then she will to save them.
She sighed looking at Aerith she was in so much pain Tifa couldn't emagin herself telling her friend about her problems. She couldn't let them out not now when everyone was hurting. But maybe she could find a place away from everyone, a place she could be alone to cry and let the pain out if she wanted.

"Don't worry I will as soon as I get the chance but now you have to promise me not to give up okay?"
Aerith looked up the minute Tifa placed her hand on Aerith's shoulder. She forced a smile....
"I promise.....I don't want to be afraid....I'm scared Tifa....He is in my head in my dreams....He's going to haunt me for ever until Cloud.....Or some on takes care of him....I don't want history to repeat itself Tifa.....I owe Cloud already everything....I'm gonna try....You are one of my best friends.....I couldn't put you in pain....Even though.....I know you already are...."
Aerith looked into Tifa's eyes....And saw the pain...But Tifa kept lying to her.....Telling her she was alright....Aerith knew why she did that....To stay strong for those that could not.....and that was one thing Aerith admired about Tifa......

"Don't worry I promise I won't let him hurt you again. Cloud will defeat him soon I am sure he already did that twice already why should this time be any different?" Again Tifa smiled at Aerith as she took her hand to get her up.
"Come on lets go search for Zack together if he is there I am sure he is worried about you." Tifa was hoping that it was all true and that they would find Zack in that old church. She wanted to go search for him now and thought it was best for Aerith if she came along.

"Come on lets go search for Zack together if he is there I am sure he is worried about you."
Aerith nodded....And hoped that they would find Zack soon.....That was the one person she had ever loved in her past life.....As a couple thing that is......Zack could always make Aerith smile and laugh....And Aerith loved to hear Zack's laugh and see that beautiful smile of his.....He was the one that she really needed right now....No doubt that Tifa has already kissed Cloud.....It must be wonderful to have some one like that.....
"Okay.....That sounds like a plan.....I just hope we don't run into trouble along the way......"
Midgar was a lot more dangerous since the Shinra Company has fallen....There were no one policing the streets as the Turks would do in the past......Aerith stood up to her feet finally.....Ready for searching for the man she fell in love with.....
"Tifa....I'm glad you and Cloud are together finally...." She smiled.....
