Chapter Four: I'll wait for you

Cagalli reached her classroom. Same old cold classroom, with a freaky teacher.

"Hey Cagalli…" Yzak said sitting down beside her, "Want to go somewhere today?"

"Yeah, like what?" Cagalli giggled as Yzak kissed her on the cheeks. The world seemed to be spinning out of control.

"Hmm, how about Chinlo Italian Restaurant tonight at seven…." Yzak said placing another kiss on Cagalli's cheek, making her giggle more.

"NO WAY!" Mia screamed running towards Yzak, "That restaurant is way off the bills."

"W-what do you mean?" Cagalli asked confused. 'Is there something special about Chinlo?' She thought as she continued to wonder what is going on.

"What are you doing over here?" Yzak spat out rudely, "Are you not suppose to be beside your lover boy over there?" Pointing out Athrun and Kira talking and laughing.

"Offf!" Mia screamed stomping her feet, "Can I come along to Chinlo with you guys?"

"You kidding? We are dating, and you are not being the third wheel." Cagalli said not looking at her.

"How DARE you!" Mia walked off to Athrun and sat on his lap hardly.

"Mia, why'd you do that for?" Athrun said pushing her off, as he rubbed his legs.

"Athrun, honey, when are we getting married?" Mia asked, loud enough for the whole class to hear.

"After when I come back from United States." Athrun replied coldly and went back to the conversation with Kira.

But Kira never heard a word of Athrun. He was too busy looking at Lacus, beside Cagalli.

"So, Athrun, you and Lacus broke up?" Kira asked out of topic.

"Yah, and I found out it was not Lacus that I slept with." Athrun gave a disgusted look and pointed to Mia.

"No way!" Kira practically screamed on top of his lungs, "So, would you mind if I uhh— You know get it on with Lacus?"

"TOO much INFORMATION MAN!" Athrun said staring at Kira.

"No, I didn't mean that!" Kira defended himself, "I mean, ask her out…. And how can you call me disturbing when you are the one who slept with Mia." Athrun gave Kira a groan.

"Stop saying that, it was a mistake…" Athrun said, but before he could finish, Mia walked by and sat on his lap again.

"Athrun, How long are you going to United States for?" Mia asked.

"Three years…" He replied coldly.

'So, Athrun's going to United States for three years…' Cagalli thought to herself losing concentration with Yzak.

"Cagalli, are you there?" Yzak asked politely while waving his hand in front of her face.

"Oh, yah, I just zoned out for a second or so." Cagalli gave him a giggle.

"Okay, Chinlo at Seven today?" Yzak asked once more staring Cagalli right into her amber eyes.

"Okay, I'll come…" Cagalli said, once again zoned out again.

"So, three years is such a long time!" Mia said giving him a smile. "I hope we get married as soon as we can!"

"I see…" Athrun said with a chuckling Kira beside him.

"Athrun, I want you to take me today, to Chinlo." Mia said straightforward now.

"What? Are you serious?" Athrun screamed on top of his lungs. "You are trying to make me bankrupt aren't you?"

"No! Honey, I would never do that…" Mia stated, "Seven Chinlo, or I'll tell your dad your little secret for that girl over there." Mia said pointing at Cagalli and left to her desk.

"She is trying to bankrupt me, Chinlo costs like 100 dollars per person!" Athrun exclaimed, but was interrupted by Kira.

"My sister?" Kira eyes widened, "Man, you better not touch my sister, you damn sicko…"

"Oi! Kira! I am hurt, I'll never touch your sister, way too ugly…" Athrun laughed loudly.

"What did you say?" Cagalli stood up showing him the fist.

"N-Nothing…" Athrun said then the bell rang, 'SAVE BY THE BELL!" Athrun's head screamed.

---At Athrun's home…---

Athrun reached his house, with a huge smile plastered on his dad's face.

"Father I am home---" Before Athrun could finish his last word, he saw a luggage all packed up, "What is the meaning of this father?"

"You are to leave right this instant." Patrick showed him the plane tickets, "the plane leaves at seven, and you don't want to be late do you?"

"No… Father, I do not…" Athrun replied, taking the plane tickets and left the house immediately.

Athrun looked at his cell phone, then his luggage, then back at his cell phone. 'Should I call?' His mind screamed the name Cagalli over and over again. Everything seems different now; it will never be like before.

--Athrun's POV---

Yes, I had a chance before. It was at the ball, but I lost it over a mistake. If only I could change everything again, if only… I can tell her how much I love her.

The ways she smiles warms me. The way she talks, calms me. The way she acts makes me want her more and more everyday. She makes me want her to be mine. I want her, I need her.

She was everything I ever need. This may be the last time I ever see her again.

I looked at my cell phone and dialled a familiar number. My hands were dialling it themselves.

"Hello?" Someone actually picked up, making me more nervous.

"Hi…" I answered hoping she would not know me, by my voice.

"Athrun, why are you calling so late, I am about to go to Chinlo…" She said quietly.

"We need to talk Cagalli… Please, meet me at Yanoi Park…" I said hoping she'll say yes.

"Hai, I'll come…" Cagalli answered and closed the phone.

Sometimes I wake up
in the dark night
and in my mind

I waited and waited… It is almost seven, and I have to go soon… She lied… she lied right in front of my face…

"Athrun?" Cagalli huffed and puffed, "there you are!" She screamed.

"Cagalli…" I whispered softly.

There's a picture of you
I know someday this dream
Will come alive

"Athrun…" Cagalli looked at him right into his green eyes, "I am going to be late for my date…" Cagalli had to choke out the words 'date'.

---Normal POV---

Within less than a second, Athrun hugged Cagalli tightly against him and could feel tears fall off Cagalli face. All the pain that she had been feeling has finally been released…

So for now
your shadow will do
I've never seen your face
but I know you're in my heart

"Athrun…" Cagalli clinged onto his shirt so hard, it seemed as if it was going to rip.

"I-I love you Cagalli…" Athrun said softly still holding on Cagalli.

Baby someday someplace
I'll hold you in my arms

I have a gift for you
something I have held onto

Cagalli looked at him right in the eyes, "You're too late, Zala…" Cagalli said formally, with tears falling off her face.

"I-I know…" Athrun replied, feeling like he wanted to cry himself.

Waiting for your sweet caress
No ribbon has been untied
from all that I hold inside
and only you
will possess
this heart of innocence

"Sorry, Zala…" Cagalli looked at the luggage, "Where are you going…?"

"United States, I have to go before I am late…" Athrun said looking Cagalli right into her eyes, "Did I ever tell you, you have the most beautiful eyes that I ever saw?"

I lay my head down
on a pillow of white (of white)
Here in the dark
I am cradled in peace (ooh)
No loss from yesterday
to haunt me at night

"Zala, don't make this any harder…" Cagalli cried harder as Athrun pulled her closer to his chest.

"Cagalli, why can't you give me one more chance?" Athrun asked quietly.

No tears to dry
No sad memories
it isn't hard to hold
And I will safely keep
this strength that is in my soul
until you come to me

"Athrun…" Cagalli sobbed quietly into his shirt, "You had the chance from the first day you met me…"

"Cagalli, just give me one more…" Athrun whispered quietly.

I have a gift for you
Something I have held onto
Waiting for your sweet caress
No ribbon has been untied
From all that I hold inside
And only you
Will possess
This heart of innocence

"Zala, it's too late…" Cagalli felt more tears burn her eyes as Athrun looked towards the floor, "I am sorry…"

"Cagalli, I love you…." Athrun said letting go of Cagalli.

Every night I wish before I fall asleep
(Make a wish)
That destiny will take your hand
And lead you to me
Oh

"Athrun, don't make this any harder…" Cagalli looked away and turned her back to Athrun.

"Cagalli, this isn't for me… either…" Athrun felt tears burned his eyes.

I have a gift for you
Something I have held onto
Waiting for your sweet caress
No ribbon has been untied
From all that I hold inside
And only you
Will possess
This heart of innocence

"Athrun, I have to go…" Cagalli said walking away….

"Cagalli…" Athrun whispered watching her walk out of his life once more, "I'll wait for you…"

I love you

---Finished Chapter four of Stay By Me---

Next Chapter Preview (Some parts on it) Title of next chapter is: It's been three years

Cagalli ran as quick as she can, hoping to catch Athrun's arrival. It has been three years.

Then, there was a light…. Giving a scream, everything was dark…

---With Mia---

"I have a phone call that Athrun's coming back!" She screamed and took out her car. She opened the car window to scream it to everyone.

Somehow Cagalli must have heard it, here she was, running…. She must be going to see him. 'I cannot let that happen….' Mia thought to herself and closed her eyes.

She stepped on the car's gas. She heard a scream and stopped the car quickly, "what have I done…" Mia asked herself as she started freaking out.
