Chapter I: If I'm James Dean Then You're Audrey Hepburn

Athrun's POV

'Dear, I wrote you a song. Despite the fact you did me wrong. And dear, I don't know what the hell is going on with you but something ain't right. You tell me that you love me then you go and leave me. Why you do this to me, baby? I'm lovesick…' [1]

People may think I'm being a bit… emo for listening to sad love songswhile I'm going through my break-up. It's only been a few days or maybe a week but who knows. I haven't kept in touch with reality lately; I've been what Dearka calls 'zombie mode'; I look alive but dead inside. Nothing I can do about it even if I have a smile plastered in my face, people still ask me if I'm okay. Of course I'm not okay! The girl I've been in love since we were nine years old and been dating for two years broke my heart… no, not break it more like tearing it out of my chest and stomping on it and not tell me why she did it in the first place. I tried catching her in the school hallway, call her, sent her e-mails, IMs, and even asked my so called "friends" if they know why she broke up with me even my cousin who is best friends with her said she doesn't know but I know they are all hiding something from me, I just haven't figured out what it is. Maybe they just don't have the heart to tell me she stopped loving me or she just never loved me all along. I need to stop thinking about this and try to concentrate on the road. I don't need to go to jail for running over an innocent pedestrian because I was being distracted for thinking about my problems. The streets are more crowded tonight then again it's Friday night which means partying except I'm not partying tonight rather taking a drive around city, trying to keep my mind of her. My friends invited me out but I wanted to be alone like the past nights. What's the point of going out if I'm just gonna be self-absorb about my break-up.

'Show me the meaning of being lonely. So many words for the broken heart, it's hard to see in a crimson love…" [2]

I should probably change this station if I want to stop thinking about her and my broken heart but I didn't instead I lowered the volume of the radio as I felt my cell vibrating inside the pockets of my pants. I answered without checking who was calling.

"Hello?"

"Athrun?"

"Yeah this is him."

"Oh good, I thought I dialed the wrong number. I can't see the letters right on my cell anymore!"

I furrowed my eyebrows out of confusion not knowing who was the person talking then I kept on listening to the other person rambling on the other side of phone line I knew who it was. "Dear cousin, you don't happen to be drunk?"

"Noooo… maybe… a little bit… I had a few drink here and there. I'm not drunk-drunk… well maybe I am a bit drunk-drunk."

I chuckled softly. "Where are you at? I'll pick you up since you're drunk-drunk"

"I have no idea actually- hold on- hey you with the hideous crocs [3], what's the name of this place? - Thanks and here's a 20, maybe buy shoes better than crocs. The guy with no sense of shoe fashion said Eternal Pub or something close to that."

"I know where that pub is. If you can still manage to walk without thinking the floor is moving, wait for me outside, okay?"

"Okay, later."

I flipped my cell closed and drove off as fast as I could in this traffic. Nearing my destination in a few minutes, I drove slowly through the street to find my cousin and I did but she wasn't alone. Cagalli was there with her laughing… laughing! And that wasn't the worst part she was a wearing a green dress, she knows I love when she wears the color green but what the hell is she doing wearing a dress, she hates wearing a dress unless she's on a date with someone. I don't think she can move on that fast… could she? I shook my head ignoring what I was thinking and honked the car horn.

"ALEXA!"

My cousin looked my way, smiled, and then kind of fell as she tried to walk. She was definitely drunk. Cagalli helped her get up but she was having trouble helping her walk towards the car. I sighed heavily before getting out the car and walked towards them trying to ignore Cagalli. I put my cousin's left arm around my shoulder as I kept a hold of her with my right arm around her waist. Alexa wasn't a hassle to get in the car; she immediately got in and lied down on the back seat. I closed the car door and didn't want to turn around to see the girl that broke my heart but I had to… at least to give her thanks for taking care of my cousin before I got here.

"Thank you for helping out Alexa," I said rather coldly as I turned around to look at her but she had her head looking the other way. She was trying not look at me either.

"It's no problem. She's one of my best friends, not gonna let her be outside by herself drunk," she shrugged, still not looking at me.

"Well then have a goodnight," I said politely and walked back to the driver's seat, hearing her cell ring.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T PICK ME UP?" she yelled getting the attention of the people around the street. "WHATEVER IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME, IT'S ON YOUR HEAD!"

I looked at Cagalli through the passenger window; she was completely pissed at the person on the phone. I chuckled; her face always looked cute to me when she was mad.

I lowered the window of the passenger seat and leaned closer. "Do you need a ride somewhere?"

My emerald eyes ended meeting her amber eyes once again. She seemed to mumble something to herself then just got in the car, giving me her famous glare. "I need some space, Zala."

I looked at her confuse for a few seconds, realizing I was still leaning on the edge of the passenger seat… a few inches from her face. I pulled myself up immediately, blushing. I haven't been that close to her in a few days or seen her at all. What the hell am I doing blushing? Yes I still love her but she doesn't feel the same way, does she? She's here in my car; I can finally ask her why she broke up with me.

"Take me home, Zala," she said making me snap from my thoughts.

"Yeah, sure," I said putting my car on drive and driving off. Maybe I'll ask her later about it, I don't need her jumping out the car because she wasn't gonna give me an answer. Yeah later.

Cagalli's POV

It's really awkward being around Athrun again, I haven't seen him since the day I broke up with him. He looks like he's a bad shape. I'm guessing my brother wasn't lying about how Athrun been after the break up. I wasn't expecting him to take it well but I was hoping he didn't take it so hard. Athrun must never know why I broke up with him though right now I'm stuck with him in his car.

"So what's with the dress?" I heard him asking, it looked like he was frowning.

"Lacus and Milly forced me to put it on for the senior portrait today. I was gonna change when I got home but I ended up at Shiho's house and Alexa was there then they decided to check out this band back at the pub though Shiho lent me her black leather jacket so I won't be completely exposed by the dress," I don't know why I'm trying hard to convince Athrun that's the reason. It's not like I put it on cause I was going on date unless Athrun thinks that's why.

"Oh yeah, I forgot senior portraits were being taken this week." And with that the car went silent… awkward silence. Only the car radio was on. I turned the volume up higher not noticing the music Athrun had playing.

"… cause there'll be no sunlightif I lose you, baby. There'll be no clear skies if I lose you, baby. Just like the clouds. My eyes will do the same, if you walk away. Everyday it will rain, rain, rain..." [4]

I raised my eyebrow. "Why are you listening to sad music?"

"None of your business," Athrun retorted turning off the radio.

"I just asked you a question. You don't have to be a jerk about it," I snapped at him.

"I'm being a jerk! I just told you it's none of your business. I didn't break your heart without an explanation!" Athrun's voice sounded of pure anger and hatred.

I was taken aback. No matter how many fight me and Athrun got into since we were kids, he never had such hate on his voice but what did I expect I did break up with him. I wasn't expecting him to treat me like before.

"There's so much hate in this car." I turned around to see Alexa leaning on Athrun's headrest. "You guys need to work this out. How can you be friends like before?"

"We can't until someone gives a reason for breaking my heart," Athrun scoffed.

"YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH A BROKEN HEART!"

Athrun's POV

What the fuck does she mean I'm not the only one with a broken heart? She dumped me. I didn't dump her. Before I could say anything my cousin put her hand in front of my face. I thought it was to stop me from saying something but instead she grabbed Cagalli's bag and threw up in it.

"Alexa!" Cagalli cried out. "What the hell? That's not my bag, that's Lacus's."

"Sorry." I heard my cousin say.

"We'll buy Lacus a new bag," I shrugged nonchalantly.

"MY CELL, MONEY, AND ID WERE IN THAT BAG! HOW ARE YOU GONNA REPLACE THAT?" Cagalli practically screamed right in my ear.

"I'm sorry, Cagalli," my cousin sounded like she wanted to cry.

At the corner of my eye I can see Cagalli feeling bad. Alexa was like a little sister to her even though she was a year younger.

"It's fine, I'll figure out how to replace that stuff," Cagalli voice sounded calmer. "Don't worry about it."

I saw my cousin smile though the rear-view window and went back to lying down. Cagalli closed the bag, put it by her feet, and proceeded to look through the window. This is not what I expected from today. I'm stuck in my car with my drunk cousin and my ex who still won't tell me why she broke up with. At least this night can't get any worse.

"ATHRUN WATCH OUT!"

I took a quick left turn trying not hit the dog in the middle street but instead hit something worse. My seat belt kept me from hitting myself. I turned around, saw that Cagalli was fine, and my cousin's thumb up meant she was fine. I looked at my windshield that looked cracked and notice the bumper and hood of the car were smashed into light pole.

"Fuck." I spoke to soon.
