I ran. I had to get away. I had been so close to kissing her. Did she really think that I was the one for her? How could she want to be with someone that … No. I'm not going there again. I need to talk to someone that's not going to patronize me for my choice in turning her down.

As I enter the church, I hear the sounds of laughing. I hid in the shadows behind one of the pillars. And I watched. There was a group six of children laughing and playing in the pool that was left behind two years ago. I walked out slowly, so as not to frighten them.

They looked up in surprise, and then waved to me. "Could you tell me where I can find the Lady?" I ask them, using the name that they had all given her.

"She's in the back room. She's tending to Kylie's skinned knee." Said one of the children, the oldest. She had to be since she was taller, and not as afraid of me. "Jojo is afraid of blood. So that's why she took Kylie in the back room."

I gave a brief nod and a thank you before I headed around the pool, to the back of the church.

In the back room, Aerith was standing up and smiling to the boy, Kylie, in front of her. "Just remember to be careful, okay?"

He nodded and ran off, to go play with the other children I presumed.

Aerith turned to look at me. "Hello Vincent. How are you today? Oh. You don't seem very well… What's wrong?" She said as she came over to stand next to me.

Zack came out of a side room. "Did something happen to Cloud?" The real reason that the two Lovers stayed behind was because of Cloud and Tifa. Wanting to help them and keep them safe was the one thing that tied them here to this church.

"No." I shook my head. "It's Yuffie and I. She claims that she's in Love with me. And I don't want to hurt her."

"Dude." Zack hung his head and shook it. Looking up, "What's wrong with you. You Love her, she loves you. That's all it really takes in the end."

Aerith nodded. "He's right Vincent. All you really need is Love. It's the one thing that will keep you going."

"I don't want to hurt her. And I don't understand why she Loves me."

"Because Vincent Valentine…"

"You're you." Zack finshed.

I finally understood and walked out the door, heading back to the Seventh Heaven.
