Episode 4
A Breaking Story
Now three months have passed since we last saw Relena.
She has begun the twelfth
grade. She made head cheerleader, is wanted by most guys for a girlfriend,
is still working, and goes to the club every other night or so. Matt usually
goes with her to the club (he is still in love too).
"Hey, Lena, wait up!" shouted Matt as he ran to catch up. "Are you busy
tonight?"
"Yeah, I am. Sorry," she replied. "You'll find somethin' to do though.
I gotta hurry to work. See ya later."
Later at the store they were just about to close early when two figures
came in. The boss had just left so no one was around. As Relena went about
her work; she had no idea what sorrows and heartbreaks would follow this
meeting.
"Is
this everything?" she asked automatically as she walked over. She felt
a tinge of fear snake through her as she looked at them.
"Rel...uhwohwoh,"
the man was Duo Maxwell. Relena's hand had shot straight over his mouth.
The
other young man was a confused Quatre. He said after a minute, "Miss Darlian,
you've made your brother and everyone else very worried. What are you doing
here?"
"Not
now; I'll take you to my apartment, so we can talk. But first that'll be
thirty dollars."
Over
at the apartment Duo was dying to know everything.
"I'll
make this simple," said Relena. "My new name is Lena King. I work at the
hardware store after school, but I don't work right after school because
I have cheerleading. I have friend named Matt (I think he likes me, likes
me). Also, I hang out at a dance club alot."
"Wow,
you sure do know how to live," Duo said. "Hey, would you be my girlfriend?"
"Duo,"
said Quatre elbowing him. "She doesn't know."
"Know
what?" Relena was puzzled. "Did something happen to Hilde or something?"
"Sure
did," said Duo angrily. "That idiotic jerk stole her away!"
"Who?"
Relena couldn't imagine who could such a thing.
"He
talking about," started Quatre," well, Heero"
"Could
you excuse me a minute?" she said shakily. She ran out the door.
I
have no idea where I'm going. My heart is leading me somewhere familiar.
Relena wondered where she was going. Then
all at once she saw the
beach Matt had told her of. No. Why here? I can't help going over to
it. I can't believe he gave up on
me. I mean I've loved
him since that night on the beach. And Duo was his best friend. No, no,
no, no. I love him. "No!" As her voice sounded across the water she
felt a hand gently on her shoulder. She slowly turned, tonight was like
a dream to her. She saw the person was Trowa Barton.
"What?
Why?" she stumbled. She couldn't believe it. She knew nothing of him or
his life.
"Duo
and Quatre are traveling with are circus troop. They told me you had run
off. We were worried you would do something drastic."
Relena
and Trowa remained silent the rest of the night.
