Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Seed or Gundam Seed Destiny either. Hehe...If I did, I would probably be piloting a Gundam and killing everyone including myself? XD

Aaron's POV
It's been 4 long painful years since Mother had died. I can still remember the look on my sister's face when she saw had found out Mother committed suicide. She overdosed herself on taking those anti-depression pills. She started taking those ever since I turned 11.I couldn't believe I just sat there and not telling her to stop taking those pills. No one could blame her for taking those pills. She was very stressed all because of one person. Father. He drove her up the wall. I've never seen my Father at all; face to face that is. I saw him only in pictures. Mother looked so happy together with him. I was confused. How can a man make my Mother happy and make her so depressed at the same time? Millions of questions kept on buzzing in my head. When Mother died he didn't even know. He wouldn't know because He'd hurt Mother so bad until he didn't notice. One sentence was enough to send my mother's world shattering into a million pieces. He sent her a wedding invitation saying: You are cordially invited to Athrun Zala and Meyrin Hawke's wedding. I couldn't understand why Mother was crying at that time as I was only 7. Too young to know what was going on in Mother's world and the world outside. The moment she received that invitation, she broke down crying. Now, which is 4 years later. I am standing in front of my mother's gravestone with my sister kneeling down to place some fresh flowers on the grave. Then my sister started talking.
"Hey Mom." She started. "Something great happened in school today. I was first in class for this term. I wish you were here to celebrate with me and Aaron." She started breaking down after that.
I stood there staring at the gravestone unsure of what to say. As I stared, those memorable memories came back to me. All of them flashed past so quickly. All accept one. The one where my mother died.
Flashback
4 years ago...
Aaron's POV
Ariel and I were busy making breakfast for our Mother. Mom told us she loved it when we served her breakfast in bed. We wanted to surprise her yet again but we didn't know that she would resort to killing herself that very day. We cooked her favorite, bacon and eggs. Ariel offered to bring the food to Mother. Being such a good brother, I let her carry the food up to Mother's bedroom. It was one of the biggest mistakes I had ever made. I felt that something bad was going to happen but I just shrugged off the thought. A few minutes later, the sound of a porcelain plate in coming in contact with the floor was heard. I rushed up the stairs to find my Mother lying on the floor which anti-depression pills scattered all over.
"Iie!" Ariel screamed." No, this can't be. Mother!"
Ariel's scream woke up the rest of the household. My uncle and Aunt came running towards my mother's room.
"What happened?" My uncle, Kira asked. I didn't say a word. I was paralyzed with fear to even anything. My once kind and caring Mother was now gone. Gone forever.
"Kira, Cagalli overdosed herself with anti-depression pills. She's finally free. Free from this world." My Aunt, Lacus said with tears cascading down her face.
"Why did you have to do this mom? Is it because you were unhappy with us? Is it because we were such a handful that you decided to kill yourself? WHY?" Ariel cried.
I curled my hand to form a fist and punched the wall.
"DAMMIT!" I shouted." This is all Father's fault!"
"Aaron calm down." Lacus said.
"None of this would have happened if the stupid excuse of a father hadn't left mom!" I said.
End of Flashback
"Hey mom. Just to let you know Aaron did well for his exams too. Hope you can be happy for us up there." Ariel finished.
Aaron gave his twin a caring look.
"It's alright, Aaron. I'm fine." Ariel hugged her brother who was close to tears.
"Mom. I miss you so much. I miss Uncle and Aunt too. They're gone. We're so lonely at home. No one wants to befriend us and they tease us just because we come from a broken family. Why can't they understand what it's like? I wish you were right here with us mom." Aaron knelt down and brushed some stray leaves on the grave.
"Come on Aaron. Let's go home." Ariel comforted her twin.
"Yea. Just wait for me outside alright? I just want a few moments more." Aaron smiled at his sister.
"Oh alright." Ariel walked towards the exit of the graveyard.
"Mom, I promise you I will look after Ariel even if it costs my life. I don't want to lose another family member again. I will find father and straighten things out with him!" Aaron vowed.
A man was just entering the graveyard carrying a bunch of Lilies for his deceased mother. He spotted a boy crying and thought he was lost. He decided to try and help the boy.
"Hey there! You all right?" The man said.
Aaron turned to face the man. His emerald eyes widened and then he gave the man a cold glare.' Father' he thought.
"Never better." Aaron replied coldly.
"Hey! That was pretty rude." The man said.
Why should I give any respect to the likes of you, Athrun Zala?" Aaron said colder. "I can't forgive you after what you did to my mother."
"What did I do to you mother that offends you so much?" Athrun said getting angry.
"Think about it. What did you do in the past 16 years of your life? Who did you hurt the most?" Aaron walked past Athrun. "Well, you can't hurt her anymore because she's dead."
Aaron walked out of the graveyard and got into his car. His sister asked him,
"Who were you talking to?"
"Someone who I'd never expected to see after all these years." Aaron said.
At the graveyard...
Athrun was still confused. 'Who was that boy?' He thought. Why had that boy made such a strong impact on him? He shrugged off those thoughts and walked to his mother's gravestone.
"Hey mom. The weirdest thing happened to me today. A was trying to help a boy but he said why should he give me any respect with the likes of me. I'm confused mom. What did I do to deserve such treatment from that boy?" Athrun placed the Lilies on the gravestone and walked out of the graveyard.
A/N: So, how did I do? Hmm...It was just something I thought off during my exams. Please review and tell me how I did. If you say it's nice or ok, I will continue but useful criticism is welcomed. USEFUL! If you guys got any questions just go on and ask and I'll try to answer them for you.
