"But Quatre! I don't want you to go!" Matthew Collins said sitting on his bed. "You're the best room mate ever." Quatre looked over fondly at Matt. He was barely sixteen and would have been consider very beautiful except for the fact he only weighed 75 pounds. "I have to go." he said. 'Matt you've been here almost 6 months and I've been here almost a year longer then that. It's time I went home." "What will I do without you?" Matt asked his grey eyes swelling up with tears. "You'll survive, Just take it one day at a time." he said picking up a pair of jeans and folding them. "I'll miss you." he said. "Yeah?" Quatre asked. "You know I even think I'll miss this place." "Even the tank?" Matt asked. "Well, maybe not the tank." he said laughing as he pullled Matt into a close hug. "Want some help packing?" he asked whiping the tears off his cheeks. "Sure," Quatre said. "Put those books into the box on teh bed. Quatre went back to the closet and pulled out the last ten items hanging on his side. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was Iris, Cathy and Trowa. 'So you're finally getting out." Iris said laughing as she and Quatre hugged. "I'm so happy for you." "You know what?" Quatre asked. "I'm happy for me too." "You should be. Now you can glue your self to my older brother." Cathy said. "You're right!" Quatre cried happily. "Where's teh crazy glue?" "But those are your favorite jeans." Trowa pointed out. "We'll do it tomorrow then." Quartre said. Iris was taking Quatre clothes and folding them neatly in his suitcase. "You don't have to do that Iris." he said. "I want to." she said quietly. "Yeah the sooner you finish the sooner we can head to the Ice cream parlor." Trowa said. The siblings looked at eachother and entered the room picking up Quatre's knick knacks and photos along the way. Trowa handed Quatre the photos as he passed him. Quatre looked at one. It was one of Heero and Duo at Disney world. They had sent the photo along with a couple pairs of mouse ears while they were on vacation. "Meiren." he said softly looking at the next one. Wufei had stopped by to say hello one day and while they were talking Quatre had asked Wufei if he ahd any pictures of Meiren. He had several in his wallet and gave a small black and white one to him. Quatre had made a frame out of cardboard and red beads and kept the photo on the shelf as a reminder of those who ahd lost the battle he seemed to be winning. "Look at this one." Matt said pointing to the one of Dr. Kushrenada and Nurse Une.... I mean Nurse Kushrenada on their wedding day. They had the ceremony in the clinic chapel and then the reception in the garden. All patients had been invited and it was one of the most wonderful days Quatre could remember. "That cake was the best." Cathy said. "I can still taste it." "You should." Trowa laughed. "You ate 3 peices." Quatre smiled and put all the photos into the box with books wrapping them in his sweaters to keep them from breaking. Quatre then picked up his bathroom bag which was a little basket full of his toothbrush, shampoo and other things. He set it in the box. "I think we're almost done." Iris said. Trowa picked up the snow globe he gave to Quatre a year ago and handed it to the blonde. "Almost." he said. Quatre took the globe in his hands and cradled it gently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They came out of the room looking happy and yet sad. Nurse Sally was in the lobby desk looking over some files. 'Ready to go?" she asked. "yeah." Quatre said. The blonde nurse hugged him and kissed his cheek. "You'll be alright." she said. Quatre knodded and Iris and Cathy grabbed him in a huge hug. "You'll come visit right?" Iris asked. "You bet." he said. Matt came in and hugged Quatre quickly before running out of the lobby in tears. "I'll go check on him." Sally said leaving. "You two better go." Cathy said smiling. Trowa and Quatre walked to the door. Trowa carrying the box and the suitcase. Quatre just having his arm hoked around Trowa's arm and the other holding the snow globe. "Are you okay?" Trow said before the exited. "Yeah. I'm ready for this." he said and Quatre stepped out into the real world and out of his sanctuary. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ONE MORE TO GO!
