Forgiven not forgotten.

Author’s notes: This is my first songfic. The song is forgiven not forgotten by the corrs but I’ve changed some of the ‘her’ to ‘his’ words. If you know what mean.

~All alone, still alone watching his life go by~

I paced around the dock of Balamb over looking the ocean. I came here a lot these days it was calm, peaceful and I had nothing else to do.

My life has changed a lot since time compression. I’ve lost everything my friends, my pride, my home... my family. Squall and the others were as close to family as I had. I live in Balamb now. Got a job but no one acknowledges me.

I’m like a shadow.

~When the days are grey and the nights are black, different shades of Monday~

Balamb garden is back to its original place. I’ve seen Zell a few times but he acts as if he doesn’t know me. It’s strange I’ve known him my whole life and he doesn’t respond to me at all.

I’ve seen Selphie from a distance; I didn’t let her see me. She was with Irvine and I know he hates me.

There’s a ball at garden tonight I’ve heard the junior class men chattering excitedly about what they’re going to wear, who they’re going to take. Everyone’s invited.

I’m not invited. I didn’t expect to be.

~Bleeding hearts torn apart left on an icy bed~

They’ve forgotten.

They don’t care.

Squall, I’m surprised he’s forgotten after all we’ve been through. We’ve been friends, classmates, rivals, enemies and lovers. I remember a time when he was everything to me. I would die for him.

Then things changed.

~And that room where they once lay face to face, nothing could get in their way~

He has Rinoa.

He doesn’t care.

He’s forgotten.

~Now the memories of a man are haunt to his days and the craving never fades~

I turned preparing to head home when I heard my name being whispered. The voice was familiar and when I got closer I instantly recognized it.

I hadn’t forgotten.

~Heard the whisper of a name long forgiven but not forgotten~

He was sitting on a wall, legs dangling into the surf.

I was shocked.

“Squall?”

He looked up. “Hey.”

“What are you doing here?”

“Looking for you. The neighbours said I might find you here.”

I was lost for words.

~You’re forgiven, not forgotten~

“The SeeD ball starts soon will you come with me?”

“What?” Everyone hates me. You hate me or at least you should... I thought you’d forgotten me.”

He put his hand up and ran it through my hair gently.

“Never.”

“You’re forgiven... not forgotten.”

~You’re forgiven, not forgotten~

~You’re forgiven, not forgotten.~

~You’re not forgotten~

~You’re not forgotten no you’re no forgotten~
