The Man She Loved
Chapter Three: Letter
A/N: Ok, let's get one thing straight i have no idea where this fic is placed, like during one of the film's or something. Let's make it an A/U. Btw, Niobe is not with Morpheus in this fic. I hope this is clear and not too complicated! Thank you to my lovely six reviews, i was very happy when i got them.
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how... Oasis - Wonderwall
He slammed the door as a rush of anger ripped right through him. This had been the seventh time this week in which him and Trinity had argued over various issues, though they tended to be due to ''meetings'' which Neo would attend. Trinity disliked the fact that they seemed to be using him as a human guniea pig, whereas Neo didn't mind as much and knew that his strength would always be tested, no matter where so it might as well be in Zion.
He knew where he'd go, Niobe's place. She was always there for him, practically 24/7. Her home was cosy and comfy, a perfect spot for some comforting and confindment. He'd spend hours at her place, always eating the last of the chocolate digsestives that she put out for him. He enjoyed her company and he considered her as a best friend.
He released his anger by punching his fist into Niobe's door. It certianly caught her attention as she rose from her chair to unlock it.
''Neo?'' Niobe exclaimed, removing her glasses from the rim of her nose.
''Any chance for a chat?'' Neo said, doing his best to smile.
''Er, i was in the middle of a book...'' She then saw the desperation in his face.
The frown he once had soon turned into a gentle smile when she nodded her head and accepted him in.
She sat down and gestured for Neo to do the same.
''So...what's up?'' She asked, eyes and attention focused upon him.
''Me and Trinity, had...another arguement. I can't take it any more, i want to let go but i can't. I want to love her but i can't...''
''Neo, i told you about this...'' Niobe rested her hand on his shoulder, rubbing it gently, similar to what Trinity would do in such a crisis.
''I know, i'm so sorry for coming to you in such a state'' He lowered his head to the ground but Niobe gently raised his head so their eye contact was level.
He didn't realise how close they were...he didn't realise his hand upon her cheek...he didn't realise their lips were touching...he didn't realise that Trinity was watching their every move from the doorway...

She ran. Not being able to contain her emotions any further, she bolted to her room and shut the door behind her. She sobbed into her pillow for what seemed hours, until someone paid a dear visit to her...
''Trinity?'' Neo looked at her, those eyes which she adored.
She didn't reply.
He walked over to her and sat down on her bed. He could tell she wasn't even paying attention to his precence, just staring into space...thinking things over...
He gently put a hand on her shoulder, telling her that he was here.
''Is this what Niobe did? Comfort you until you gave in to her?'' Trinity spat.
Neo ignored her spiteful sentence. Instead he moved closer towards her.
''I'm always here for you Trin, don't forget that''
''Don't you dare call me Trin, and as for being here, what a load of bull shit. I don't need you Neo, i need Annick, and he's not fucking here! It should be you who's dead!'' She screamed, while she got off from her bed and ran into the core.
''Trinity, slow down. There's something else i forgot to mention. With Annick was a note. Not a suicide note but a letter which included you'' Morpheus sighed.
''I'm not sure whether i should be telling you this, after just what happened but you will find out sometime. Included with a rose was an anonymous written letter. It wrote:
Dearest Trinity,
I expect you'll be glad to know that you're next.
Lot's of love x.
She released the breath she didn't even realise she was holding.
What will happen when the crew return to Zion and when Trinity numbs herself with drink? And what happened after Trinity found Niobe and Neo kissing? All will be revealed shortly...
