Love Hurts: part 1
By: Hilde
A small figure tossed and turned on her bed, in the darkness. She called out again, "Duo!" in her sleep. Hilde awoke suddenly, and sat up in bed, breathing hard. She felt a small drop of stinging salty water slip down face, and realized she was crying.
"I can't be like this anymore," she sobbed.
This wasn't the first night she had awoken, crying, hurting. It had been going on ever since Duo had left.
Hilde looked sadly at the empty space beside her, longing to see Duo there. Fall asleep; wake up, in his strong, protective arms. And if either woke up in the night, terrified of the mind, * the other would hold onto them tightly.
That hadn't even happened when Duo WAS around. Now Duo had left. But he had to, he was Gundam pilot, trained to fight, trained to killed. He left because he didn't want her to be in danger, right? Funny, hot, way-to-kind Duo.
"Why?" she asked no one. Only the dark stillness and lonely sigh of the night breeze, tickling her drapes, answered her.
"Besides, he only like me as a friend, right?" but in her heart, she felt it was more than that. "Oh, Duo! I wish you were here,…" she thought.
Hilde looked at the clock. It was 5:02 in the morning!
"No use trying to fall back to sleep now. What do I do now?" she wondered. "At least it's Saturday."
Hilde out of bed, put her robe n, and when into the kitchen to make some coffee.
"I can't stand this anymore!" she half-yelled (as much as anyone can at 5 in the morning) at the wall.
Hilde gathered herself, and hit some numbers on the com unit in the living room. It beeped a few times, then Duo appeared.
He looked tired, but when he noticed Hilde, he perked up an said, "Hey Hilde! What's up, other than us, at this early time in the morning?" with his usual spunk.
"Duo," Hilde began, "I don't think, er, we, uh," she stuttered, trying to find the right words.
Duo knew something was wrong. "Hilde, what happened?"
"Well, uh, Duo…. I think, er, want to," Hilde considered what she was about to do. Would this help? Or would this make it even worse? Maybe if…
"Yes?"
"I don't think we should see each other anymore. It's over," she finally blurted out.
The two didn't say anything for a few moments, hardly believing what had just been spoken and heard.
Duo was the first to break the silence. "Hilde, what do you mean?"
"It's over. No more of this Duo, no more. I know it was like we only just friends, but I think we had something more. But not anymore, Duo. No. Not anymore."
"Hilde,…"
Along uneasy pause.
"Did I do the right thing? Is this going to, NO! It's done. It's over," Hilde thought.
"Okay bye, Duo. I might see you around, maybe not. See ya," Hilde sighed, as she reached for the "call end" button.
A moment before her finger hit that button, Duo tried to say something.
"Wait, Hilde! I lo…" was all Hilde heard.
"It's over. Bye Duo," she whispered to the now-blank screen.
Oddly feeling better, yet like a huge storm cloud was growing behind her, Hilde went back to bed. (Forgot to turn on the coffee anyway) "I'll just sleep in then. What a night," she thought as she fell asleep.
But all she could see that night was the hurt look on Duo's face as she told him it was over. Over before it even began.
*imagination can scare you: nightmares
