Help Me Escape From My Memories, Part 3
Duo was still in the shower an hour later. He was avoiding me,
I could tell. I sighed and mixed the cream into my coffee. Time seemed
to streach forever until finally he walked in.
"Duo, why are you so jumpy lately?" I asked him nonchanantly.
He looked at me and sighed.
"People change Hilde. I'm a different person than I used to be,"
he answered. I wasn't satisfied. In fact his answer made me angry.
"Fine," I shouted and slammed the cup down. It made a sharp
noise and I noticed I had cracked it. "Personally I like the old Duo
better, he at least trusted me. The old Duo was bright and cheerful,
not bitter and secretive." I stormed out of the room. Grabbing my coat
I headed out the door. I would come back for my stuff after I had booked
a flight home.
I almost wished I knew what he thought. I wondered if he thought
of the same thing I had, that a back was turned on him. And sadly enough,
I hoped he was guilty. I strolled down the street, not in a hurry to
get to the ticket office.
When I did arrive I hesitated by the door. Did I really want to
leave him, I had missed him so much. I sat down on the bench by the door.
He had come back after the Eve Wars. He stayed with me for awhile, helping
at the scavanger site. But then he left again. And I hadn't heard from
him for over a year.
Then five days ago he had sent me a letter. He had asked me to
come see him. So I did. Now I was leaving after barely being here. He
was my dearest friend, but something had happened that he wouldn't include
me in on, which showed me he didn't trust me.
Making my decision I walked inside the building. Twenty minutes
later I had my ticket, unfortunately the next flight didn't leave until
noon tomorrow.
I comtemplated not going back for awhile. It seemed the best
idea so far. Until it grew dark I wandered the streets of his city. But
then I knew I had to go back.
He was waiting for me. A hard look was in his eyes, and for the
second time that day I was scared of him.
"Living room, now," he said coldly. I could only nod my head.
I sat down in one of the plush chairs and looked at him. He wouldn't
look me in the eye.
We sat in silence for awhile, each of us daring the other to speak
first.
"Duo, I...." I started, but an icy stare made me stop. By this
time I was scared of him. What had happened during the time I had left
this afternoon?
A low growl escaped his throat and he rasped, "where did you go
all day?"
I refused to answer him, it was none of his business. "I'm a grown
woman, I may do as I please." It made him angry, I could tell. He suddenly
lunged and grabbed my wrist. It hurt, he had a deathlock on it and I
couldn't escape.
I looked at him. He must of seen the fear in my eyes cause he
let go. I grasped my wrist and rubbed it. I didn't move though, I was
too afraid.
"I'm sorry Hilde," his voice cracked. "Go." I wasn't about to
argue this time. I ran as fast as I could to get away from him.
Running into my room he had given me I started throwing all my
stuff into a suitcase. When it was all packed I snuck out of my room.
I didn't see him as I left that night. If he saw me, he never said
anything, never stopped me.
The next morning I stared out of the plane at the city. A silent
tear slipped down my cheek.

I know, I know, I'm making Duo act like a real jerk. I'm sorry!
Please don't get mad at me. I'm only doing it so my story works out how
I want it to later on. So what do you think of this chapter? Please
review. Thanks!
