I'm back again! Thanks for all the positive reviews on A Doubtful Marriage... I know Heero deserved a worse fate, but I don't have it in my heart to make them not get together. That would defeat the purpose of making it a 1xR romance, and besides I'm a softie for romance. But, I can do an alternate ending... the unhappy one. So... here it is. These characters do not belong to me.

A Doubtful Marriage

Alternate Ending

Relena sucked in a deep breath. Work was very strenuous lately for her. Or maybe it was all her thoughts of the past, weighing down in her mind and her heart. She could remember that day perfectly. It was two years ago on this day that she was going to get married...

Married to a man who didn't show up. She told herself that she didn't forgive him, and that she never would. And that she didn't love him anymore. Who was she trying to kid? She may not forgive him, and her mind may say she hated him, but all her heart ever knew was love for the man that kept leaving her life.

Why did he leave? She never found an answer to that question. If she did ever see him again... she would probably try to choke him. And now, this was her best chance in two years. To see him of course, not choke him.

Those three years before he proposed were without a doubt the happiest times of her life. He finally came back, and he stayed with her, and that's what she wanted. They barely went out on what could normally be considered dates... but they did go to that coffee shop often.

She shook her head. She didn't want to remember their times there... they would only make her want to see him more. Duo told her that he saw Heero in town, and tried to catch up to him, but he disappeared. She thought it was better like that. Once they met again, there was no telling how she would react emotionally, and what kind of tension there would be between them. They hadn't exactly been on best terms the last time they saw each other.

Duo walked into her office, looking very... blank. There was even anger in his face... to what? "There's someone here to see you."

If there was, why couldn't they walk in themsleves? And why did Duo look so angry? That only meant it had to be someone he knew... no stranger could make Duo look so hostile. She nodded her head. "Send them in."

He walked out, and by what she could see, he stopped and whispered something to the person and was gone. Her head was back in her paperwork once they did come in. A shadow came closer and loomed over her work. Their eyes were watching her, and as weird as it was, she could recognize that gaze. "Relena..."

There was no doubting it now. She wasn't surprised that it was him, but that he was there... why was he there? Her eyes met his, both speaking unspoken greetings. 'Why is he here now? It's too late to do anything!'

It seemed like Heero wasn't sure about what to say, like her. They had become acquainted strangers who loved each other, but both being hurt. He watched as a certain fired started to burn in her light blue eyes, causing them to narrow, accusing him for his past actions.

"Why did you come back Heero? And now? The wedding was two years ago!!"

A wave of abhorrence to her words flashed in his expression, disappearing without a trace like a teardrop in the ocean. "Who was that guy you were with?"

Guy...? What was he talking about...? Seeing her confusion, he continued. "The one from the coffe shop." Comprehension dawned on her, it was Jean-Pierre he was talking about. 'This is what made him not come...? Because he saw me with Jean-Pierre and didn't say anything about it?!'

Not only was she bitter that he didn't show up to the wedding, now that she knew why he didn't come she was vexed, resentful... anything and everything else used to describe hostility. "Is that reason for not showing up? You didn't say anything about it... and you leave me at the altar." She was unearthly calm about it. That made him uneasy.

She sniffed once. "Please leave, Heero."

He stared at her as if not understnading what she just said.

"Leave... now, please."

Still nothing came out of him.

"Don't make this any harder on me, leave, damnit!" She broke down into sobs that shook her form, and he took it as a sign to do what she said. He didn't know what else could be done. With a steady stride, the man with messy brown hair walked to the door. Before leaving the room, their eyes met for the last time, speaking their unspoken farewells, knowing that they wouldn't ever see each other again. "I... love you, Relena..." And he was gone.

More tears welled up in her eyes, stinging the walls that held them back. There was no need to hold them back though, he was gone, and not coming back this time. Her love... her only love was gone, and with him, her soul. "Goodbye, Heero..." 'I love you too...'

I didn't know I could write something so sad... nooo! I like the romance better! Did I make Relena OOC? I don't think so... I mean she should be mad after what he did... This was kind of like a soap opera... ahhh! I'm turning GW into a soap opera! Well, please tell me what you think!
