YOAI, GUNDAM WING & THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT MY PROPERTY, SONG BELONGS TO BON JOVI.
Well, there is one last thing I have to say before I go: When you get to where Trowa's stumbling out of his truck, I'd advise you to put some very 'angry' music on. The Offspring "Feelings" inspired the last part, so ethier play that song or something equally pissed-off. ['Nookie' would be a good choice.] And away we go....
~*~*~Heartbroken~*~*~
Trowa sat atop some crates and watched the other performers mill around and chat. Sighing, he leaned furhter back into the shadows.
This Romeo is bleeding,
But you can't see his blood.
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up...
He listened to the rain splatter upon the canvas high above him.
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see, I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up
The heartache wouldn't give him a momments peace. Painfully, he remembered every chance he had at happiness, but now all his hopes were gone.
Well, I guess I'm not that good any more...
But baby that's just me!
A bitter tear ran down his face as he looked down at the faded and worn pictures in his hand. Quatre's smiling face beamed back at him.
Now your pictures there
You left behind
Are just memories of a different time...
Some they made us laugh,
Some they made us cry,
One that made you have to say good-bye...
*"What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair..." He caressed the image lovingly. "To touch your lips, to hold you near. When you say your prayers, try to understand: I make mistakes, I'm just a man!" He could still see Duo holding him close, pulling his little angel nearer as he whispered softly into his ear. "I wish I was him, because those words are mine to say to you until the end of time..."
That I will love you
Baby....
ALWAYS!
And I'll be there forever
In your dreams...
ALWAYS...
If you told me to cry for you
I could!
If you told me to die for you
I would!
He jumped down and, with a purposeful stride, started walking out of the tent.
"Trowa!" Catherine boltted after him. "Where are you going? The show's going to start any minute now!"
"I have something important to do."
"Can't it wait?"
"No. It can't."
"What in God's name is so important that you're risking our jobs for?!"
He froze, not daring to answer his sister.
"It's him, isn't it?" She clenched her fist in anger. "You're running off to see that...that son of a bitch, aren't you!"
He bristled at her words.
"He's not worth it, Trowa!" Catherine pleaded. "Just forget about him and come back inside."
"Cathy, I love you to death...but I can't take it anymore." He looked over his shoulder at her. "And I won't let you or anyone else stop me."
Take one look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you...
He walked out into the driving rain.
Catherine watched him go, sobbing. "My Trowa... my stupid, crazy Trowa..."
Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place
Where the sun still shines!
And I will love you, baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you
Always
Trowa stumbled out of the truck and ran up the stairs and down the walk. Through the downpour, he could see a light blazing in one of the windows.
"Look Maxwell," Wufei leaned back against the wall. "This is between him and Barton! Just don't go sticking your nose in it."
"Then just what the hell do you want me to do? Up and walk out while he's standing there crying?!"
"You shouldn't have even come here in the first damn place!"
"Well excuse me! Unlike certain people, I actually give a shit about my friends!"
Suddenly, a dripping wet and slightly frantic Trowa barged into the study.
"Well, well...Speak of the devil! Look who decided to stop by for a little visit, did we?" Duo grabbed something off the desk and got up in his face. "Or did you forget something?" He shoved the roses into his face. "You've got some fucking nerve to show your face around here."
Angrily, Trowa turned to leave, but Duo grabbed his arm.
"Let go of me!" He struggled to get out of his grip.
"Ooooh no! Not till you hear me out."
"Maxwell!" Wufei snapped. "This is none of your buisness!"
"Well, I'm making it my damn buisness!" He spun Trowa around so that they were face to face again. "Now you listen here, you god damn bastard. Tell me what the fuck gives you the right to toy with Quatre's heart like you've been for the last couple of years!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You know damn well what I'm talking about. You'll act all nice and all that crap when you're around him, but as soon as things start getting serious, you split!"
"Look, just what the fuck gives you the right to throw this up in my face?"
"I don't know." He wrenched Trowa's arm. "Maybe it's 'cause, unlike you, I actually give a shit about those I care about!"
"You don't even know how I feel about Quatre!"
"That's right! And neither does a certain blonde who's been tearing himself apart over you!" He growled, letting go of him. "I ought kick your ass, you cold hearted son of a bitch!"
"At least I'm not the little sleaze bag who's taking advantage of him!"
"Excuse me?! Just what the hell are you implying?"
"I think you know what I'm getting at!" He stepped back and mimic Duo. "Oh, Quatre, don't worry! You can come and cry on my shoulder. I'll make you forget all about mean old Trowa!" He glared at him. "Oh yes, it's Duo Maxwell, Mister Knight-In-Shining-Armor!"
"What?! I'd never do that!"
"BULLSHIT! I saw you two together. You had your hands all over him!"
"Huh? And when the hell did this happen, because I sure don't remember it."
"The other night!" He snarled. "I came by and saw you standing right here, with you're arms around my Quatre!"
"Whoa! Wait a sec! I think you've taken that completely out of context!"
"Alright then, why don't you tell me exactly what the fuck you were doing here."
"You want to know what the fuck I was doing? I'll tell you what the fuck I was doing! I was sitting up with YOUR precious Quatre while he cried his heart out over you, you insentive dick!" Duo voice dropped to a nasty sneer. "Besides, why should you even care wheter or not I screwed him? It's not like you could even be in love with some else."
Before Wufei could stop him, Trowa reared back and decked him in the face.
Duo hit the floor with a sickening 'THUD!' A crimson stain splattered across the white carpet.
'Oh shit!' Trowa leaned down to help him up. "Duo...I-I..."
"Don't touch me!" He shoved him aside as he stumbled to his feet and stormed out of the room, trailing blood.
And so ends 'Feelings.' Tell what you think of it. I promise to post the end soon.
