Love Everlasting

Chapter 1

Goodbye to You

"Now both of you have to sign the bottom of this paper and the divorce will be complete," Said a man behind the desk.

The soon to be ex-husband and wife did not even look at each other when the man held out the pen for either of them to take. Without a word the husband, a spiky blonde haired male picked up the pen and clicked it so he could write his name. He brought the pen to the paper but did not write anything at first. He wrote down a C but heard a fit of giggles from behind him.

His head turned slightly to see two toddlers playing with toy cars on the floor. A pair of fraternal twins crawled around, crashing their cars into one another. One had brown hair and the other golden. Both had the same deep sapphire blue eyes like their father. He smiled sadly, as he finished writing his name on the line. He handed the pen over to the woman next to him. Gingerly, she took it.

The woman had her head hung low. Her brown wispy bangs covered her face from view as she wrote her name neatly on the line. She clicked the pen closed and laid it down on the table. The man before them pulled back the papers and then stamped it. He then stood up, politely excusing himself to finalize everything.

"Aerith," he breathed softly.

"Don't talk to me Cloud," she turned her gaze to the two children. "Nothing is going to change."

They sat in silence. Cloud stared at his ex-wife as she stared at their twins. Several minutes past and the only sound coming from the room were the two boys making car noises as they played. The man reappeared from the same door he exited. Cloud sighed softly when the man came around the desk to sit down again. He handed them each a copy of the paper. Aerith folded hers neatly, tucking it away in her purse. She pushed her chair back and nodded politely at the man.

"Thank you." She turned to the boys walking up to the one with blonde hair.

"Vroom!" he said rolling his car along the floor.

"Roxas," she said sweetly. "It's time to go. Say goodbye to Sora… and daddy."

Roxas found himself picked up by his mother. He looked down at his twin brother. One hand clutched his car while wrapping it behind his mommy's neck. The one with the car was waving bye to his brother.

"Buhye…" came his gibberish words.

Sora watched as they walked off down the hall. His father stood up holding his finalized copy of the divorce paper. Sora looked up at his father, wondering exactly why Roxas had to go. Cloud knelt down to his son, gently rubbing his coffee colored hair. However, his eyes watched the figure of his now ex-wife and his son walking away from him.

They were too young. That is why it failed. Their romance seemed like a storybook only to find the harsh reality slapping them in the face. They were too much "in love" to understand what it meant to be married so young, to understand everything that came from raising a family. Neither was prepared for it and now both wished they had listened to their parents who so long ago told them to wait. No, love was too important. Love blinded them.

Married within months and then expecting a child in less than a year of their marriage. The two never expected to have twins, whom both loved very much. However, the fantasy they wove dissolved when the harsh realities of life bombarded them. Soon the stress of caring for two boys, working full time jobs, amongst the million other things life threw at them strained their once happy relationship. Soon they began petty squabbles, then arguments, and then tall out screaming matches. That is until Aerith could no longer take it. She wanted a divorce, knowing that their fighting would do neither her former husband nor their two children good.

Cloud refused to end his marriage at first, believing they could work it out. Soon after though, he too came to the sad realization that his dream of his perfect family crumbled. Together they signed the papers under irreconcilable differences.

"Wocksas...," Sora cried.

Cloud picked up his son, holding him with one arm. Having to split up the children, was hard for them to do but neither could support both or keep an eye on both. It just seemed easier this way.

Sora wrapped his arms around his daddy, laying his head on his father. Cloud rested his chin on Sora's head and sighed sadly. He then walked out of the office and down the hall. He stepped out of building only to see Aerith drive away, Roxas in his car seat still playing with his car. Cloud watched as the car drove off.

His sky blue eyes twinkled painfully. He wanted it to be a dream. He wanted to wake up and find his wife next to him and his two children sleeping peacefully. He wanted everything to be perfect. Yet, it all crumbled when the car vanished around the corner. For the first time in a long time, Cloud Strife felt tears sliding down his face. The teardrops made their way down landing on his son's head.

"Daddy, don't cry…" Sora cried. He reached up hugging his father tightly but he continued anyway.

Author Note- "Love Everlasting" and the first chapter is about breaking up! Anyway, the chapter was short but it works. I know I have other stories I should be working on but it is hard when bombarded with ideas. Forgive me everyone who is angry for not updating my other stories. This is one of many stories sitting in my computer and I finally decided to upload it.
