Shooting Stars part 3
Confession
Heero was glaring at this man, and he didn't even know who he was. If only he could keep him away from Relena until Zechs comes, he thought, then smiled.
"What's so funny?" Jack snarled, but his voice wobbled, like he was frightened.
Heero returned his gaze from his unconscious friends to Relena, then back to Jack. "Nothing. But before I shoot you, I'd like to know what to write on your grave."
"Well!" Jack huffed, annoyed. "Shouldn't it be the other way around? But, heck, why not?"
Jack squared his shoulders and took a deep breath…
::Flashbacks and all that jazz::
I met Relena when we were in that school of hers. She was the most popular girl and everyone liked her. Who wouldn't? I liked her the moment I saw her. She was like an angel to me…an angel that I wanted {Heero snorts and Relena hears something muttered like, "she's my angel."}. I was devastated when I heard that her father died. And then you showed up…and broke her heart by ripping the invitation.
'Relena, I know I'm not perfect or anything, but if it makes you feel better, I know this cool club that I can get into. Why don't you come?' I asked her.
'I guess so,' Relena answered {"Mumbled!" Relena interrupted. "I was upset!"} and I told I'd meet her at seven.
I waited, but she never showed up. The I found out that she had gone to space, you see. To see you!
::End Flashback, and Jack glaring at Heero::
"I was mad, yes, very mad," Jack spat venomously. "I had to have you see. She stood me up and I'm really pissed off, you bastard!"
"You've been holding this grudge for exactly three years now?" Heero asked, lowering his gun slightly in disbelief.
"What do you think, you little ass?" Jack asked, snarling, pointing a finger at Heero. "You think that I'd be here if I didn't? No, I'd be having fun with my friends, or seeing a movie, or…" His voice trailed off and then he finally turned to look at Relena.
"All I wanted was one date with you," he whispered. He began to walk forward, but Heero protectively stepped in front of him, shielding Relena from Jack.
"Don't you dare try to talk to her," Heero said, his voice low and deadly. Jack seemed to have noticed because he licked his lips nervously, but it was all an act. He grabbed Heero's wrist before Heero realized it, but, in on quick movement, they were playing a deadly game of mercy, with the nozzle of the gun pointing aimlessly around the room, before it finally rested on the watching Relena.
Jack pulled the trigger…
There was a loud BANG…
And then Relena slid to the floor, holding her shoulder, moaning with pain.
********
Heero took one look at Relena before he yelled hoarsely at Jack, "You little son of a bitch!"
He then slammed his whole body into Jack's, and knocked the wind out of him. Then he raised his elbow and brought it crashing down on Jack's head. The man fell unconscious to the ground, bits of blood sparkling in the moonlight.
At that moment, Zechs barged in, followed my a group of men in bodyguard uniforms. They paused and looked around, finally, their eyes resting on the sight that brought tears to Noin's eyes and Zechs' cursing.
Heero was holding Relena up, blood soaking her white gloves and bedsheets. She smiled weakly before managing to say, "I love you Heero" faintly. She then blacked out.
There was a pause. Then, "I love you too, Relena," from a very somber Heero. He then kissed her forehead, and brought her over to Zechs.
Hang in there, he thought, and watched her brother and Noin race to the cars in the driveway three flights down.
Okay, that was really quick, but when I get typing, I get typing. What did you guys think of this one?
**Jack's back under arrest and Heero said something no one would believe he would. The pilots wake up and Relena's in the hospital, when something else happens to them…what is it? Um, I'm not sure right now, but it'll be a good one!! Promise!! Next time, in Part 4 of shooting stars: Sooner or Later**
