Chapter 4: Truth Comes Out!

Cagalli wakes up to giggling. She opens her eyes to see that Shiho and Lacus were there staring at her with a big smile on their faces. Cagalli smiled at them and said," What time is it?" Shiho looked at her watch and said, " 2:00" Cagalli opened her eyes big and said, " Dude I got's to be home in a half an hour. Me walking I'm gonna run out of time."

Lacus looked at her and said, " Well Athrun has a car. I'm sure he'll give you a ride." Cagalli looked down at him and said, " No, He did enough for me. Shiho do you think Yzak can give me a ride?"

She nodded her head and ran up to get him. Yzak came downstairs in some shorts, t-shirt, keys in one hand, and the other hand rubbing his eye. Yzak looked at Cagalli and said, " Ok, let's get you home so that I can go back to bed." Cagalli nodded her head and grabbed her bag from upstairs. Once she came back down she said good bye to everyone than walked over to Athrun and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

She walked outside with Yzak and got into his car. It was silent the whole way home. When he pulled into the driveway he looked at me and said, " Ok, you're here and I'm tired, so get out so that I can go back to bed. I'll see you later. Alright?" Cagalli nodded her head and got out of the car. Once she shut the door she walked into her house and upstairs to her room. Cagalli put her bag down and went to her laptop.

Cagalli signed onto her screenname and looked to see who was on. Nobody. She sighed and turned off her laptop. Then she walked downstairs to the kitchen. Her mother walked through the front door with a hand full of grocerys. Cagalli ran over and grabbed some of the bags. She put the bags on the table and said, " Hey mom can I ask you something?"

Her mom looked at her with worried eyes and said, " Sure, what is it?"

" Ok, so say that you found someone that you truly love but you think that he won't love you back because of your past. What would you do?"

Her mother stared at her for a moment and said, " Well I would tell the person how I feel then tell him my past and if he doesn't accept me for who I am than he's not the right one. Why? Is there a person that you love but you're scared to tell them your past?"

Cagalli put her head down and nodded her head.

Her mother smiled and said, " Honey. Just tell the person that you like about your past and I'm sure this so called guy will understand and still love you for who you are."

Cagalli smiled and hugged her mom. " Hey is it alright if I go back to Lacus's house until dinner?"

Her mother smiled and nodded her head. Cagalli smiled and walked out of the house. As she was walking down the street she was thinking about how to tell Athrun. A few minutes later she was down the street from the house. She walked up to the door step and just stood there. When she was about to knock on the door Athrun opened it. She stepped back and said, " Um, sorry Athrun. I didn't see you there."

" No, it's my apology's. I was just gonna go to your house and get you."

Cagalli started to blush and said, " Well I'm here now. So what do you need?"

" Can we go somewhere and talk?"

" Sure, how about the garden?"

Athrun nodded his head and grabbed her hand. When they walked into the maze of flowers Athrun took her towards the balcony and leaned on it. Cagalli stood in front of him and said, " So what did you need to talk to me about?"

Athrun put his head down and said, " Ok, I can't hold this in anymore. I have to tell you how I feel."

Cagalli nodded her head and sat down on the concrete bench.

" I don't know how to say this, but when I first set eyes on you I thought you were the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen. You have that out going personality and the most gorgeous eyes ever. I love the way your hair smells and looks. You have the greatest body I've ever seen. So now I have told you how I felt. I will understand if you don't feel this way about me. If you just want to be friend's that's fine with me."

Cagalli stood up and said, " Athrun, I don't just want to be friends with you. But before anything else happen's I think its time for me to tell you about my um, past. Last year I got into a gang fight. Before I could finish the fight the police came and my whole gang left me. I got caught and got put in DH. Stayed there for about 6 months and got house arrest. I tried my best to make my life alot more easier but I couldn't find a way. But than I met this guy. He's smart, gorgeous, has beautiful eyes. But I can only stand back from everything and not tell him how I feel cause I thought he wouldn't like me cause of my past. but now I see the truth. He doesn't care about my past or anything he just cares about me, and you know what Athrun that guy is you. Since I've laid eyes on you I just feel head over heels with you."

Athrun walked over to her and sat next to her. Cagalli wiped her eyes and looked at him with a smile. Athrun put his arms around her and said, " Cagalli I would love you even if you went to jail."

Cagalli smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

" I love you Athrun."

" I love you too Cagalli."

Athrun wiped her tears from her cheek and said, " Come on. Let's go for a walk on the beach."

Cagalli smiled and nodded her head. As they were walking through the house Lacus and Kira were making out on the couch. Knowing Lacus Cagalli didn't think that she would do that. Cagalli giggled to herself and walked out of the house hand and hand with Athrun. When they got to the edge of the sand Cagalli took off her shoes and walked on it right behind Athrun still holding hands.

Athrun walked closer to the water and said, " So is that what Mr. Townsend was talking about on the first day that I came to this school?"

Cagalli nodded her head. She laughed then let go of Athrun's hand. Athrun looked at her and said, " Cagalli, I seriously don't care what you did in your past. It's over and all's you can do is just move on."

Cagalli looked at him and said, " You're right. Thank's Athrun." She laughed and push him into the water. Then she started to run. Athrun got up and ran after her. Once he got close enough he tackled her to the floor. Cagalli laughed and looked at him. He stared at her amber eyes. Cagalli moved closer to him and pressed her lips againest his soft ones.

Athrun wrapped his arms around her slender waist as she was putting her's around his neck. When they released Cagalli smiled at him. He pulled her closer and kissed her neck. Cagalli didn't want to go too far right now. Even though they weren't even going out yet. Cagalli pulled away and said, " Athrun, I don't think we should be doing this. We're not even together."

Athrun smiled at her and said, " Cagalli will you be my babygirl?"

Cagalli smiled and nodded her head. Athrun smiled and gave her a passionate kiss. Cagalli let go and smiled while biting her lip. Athrun and Cagalli sat and walked on the beach for a while than decided to go back to the house. Shiho and Yzak were on the porch kissing. I walked up to them and said, " Um, you want to breathe for a moment so that I can say good-bye to you guys."

They both laughed. Shiho stood up and said, " So, how was your day?"

Cagalli looked up to the sky and said, " It was good. Athrun and I are together now." Shiho made a huge smile and jumped up and down.

"Oh my god. Finally, this is so cool."

Cagalli laughed and said, " Yeah, but now I have to get back to my house." Athrun walked outside and said, " I'll take you home." Cagalli smiled and nodded her head. Cagalli said good-bye to everyone then got into Athrun's car. Athrun got in the driver's seat and started the car. On the drive home Athrun and Cagalli didn't say word to each other.

When they finally got to the house Cagalli got out and so did Athrun. He walked around the car and over to Cagalli. She leaned on the car and said, " Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow than." Athrun nodded his head. Cagalli stared at him then gave him a kiss. Before she walked in she gave him a hug and said, " I love you."

" I love you too. I'll see you tomorrow."

Cagalli nodded her head and walked up to her house. Athrun waved to her and got back in his car. When Cagalli closed her front door she leaned on it and smiled. Her mother walked over to her and said, " So, what happened?" Cagalli jumped up and down and said, " Athrun asked me out today. I'm just so happy now." Her mother smiled and walked back into the kitchen. Cagalli walked up to her room to check her messages.

When she signed on she saw there was another message from her secret admirier.She smiled and opened it.

Cagalli,

I found out that you have a boyfriend now. So, there's no use writing to you anymore.

But sooner or later I will tell you who I am. Just don't get your hopes up. Alright.

Well I'll write to you in the next few days. Alright. Good-bye Cagalli.

Love your secret adimirier

Cagalli leaned back in her chair and exhaled. She felt really bad now. Cagalli decided not to write back to him. Her cell phone rang a few seconds later. She grabbed it out of her bag and looked to see who was calling. Cagalli smiled and answered it.

" Hey girl. I wanted to know if you wanted to stay at my house tonight. I'm bored out of my mind I can't stand it anymore."

" Yea, I'll stay the night. Who's all gonna be there?"

" Um, Just Kira, Lacus, and Athrun. That's also including Yzak, cause you know I can't leave my boyfriend out."

Shiho laughed.

" Alright. I'll be over after dinner. Alright?"

Shiho said alright and hung up with Cagalli.

Cagalli jumped up and down. She ran downstairs to ask her mother.

" Hey mom is it alright if I stay the night at Shiho's house?"

Her mother smiled and nodded head.

Cagalli hugged her mom and went upstairs to get ready. About an hour later her mother called her down for dinner. Cagalli sat down at the table and said her prayers. She tried to eat as fast as she could. About 10 minutes later she cleaned her plate and said good-bye to her parents than walked out of the house. As she was walking down the street a cold wind came rolling past her.

She rubbed her arms and kept walking. About 10 minutes later Cagalli finally made it to Shiho's house. Cagalli walked up to the door and knocked on it. Shiho answered it and said, " Hey Cagalli. Come on in."

Cagalli walked in and saw that everyone was already there. She looked around at everyone but didn't see Athrun anywhere. She set her bag down in the living room. She looked around once more but didn't see him. Cagalli sighed and sat down. It got later into the night and Athrun wasn't around. Cagalli just sat in the living room watching T.V just waiting for him to show.

Cagalli just gave in and fell asleep on the couch.
