Tears ran down my face as I looked at the picture hanging on the office wall. It had been only a week, I couldn't lt go of it. Let go of him. I just couldn't face the fact that duo was dead. I brushed a strand of golden brown hair out of my face and forced my self to go to class. I walked slowly down the hall, Not actually seeing the faces of the people around me. When I bumped into people I said nothing, just heard their curses. The world seemed dazed. I could focus on nothing, and even now I crashed into someone, and my books fell from my arms. I immediately fell to my knees to retrieve them out of habit, and was mildly surprised when I saw a pair of knees join mine on the floor. "lita...." I heard the familiar voice splash into my mind, and looked up to see heero's normally emotionless face tinged with concern. The school bell rang, and people hurried to class. I looked into the blue depths of heero's eyes and felts hot tears start to fall again. Without thinking I collapsed onto the floor and started sobbing like a toddler. Heero's strong arms were around me and I sobbed into his usual green tank top. "oh heero...." I sobbed. "Why did this happen? Why, now?" On I cried as heero rocked me back and forth like a baby. "shhh... Everything is going to be alright." Was heero's painful reply. I don't know how long I sat there, cradled in heero's protective arms, but I didn't care. I was alone now, except for my friends. First my parents died in the Oz bombing 2 years ago, now my brother, duo, was killed in an Oz raiding. The media was informed that he had died in a mass Oz bombing, like our parents, but my other best friends were his fellow gundam pilots. Finally, my tears ran out, and I looked up at heero. His face had tear lines also. Duo had been his best friend, before. I gave him a hug which he strongly returned. We collected my books and walked out to a courtyard. I thought of duo, smiling, laughing, joking duo. I sighed sadly and looked at heero. His eyes were clouded with sadness and he stared at the sky. I looked at nothing and became lost in my thoughts. I would have to choose what to do now. I had put away the thoughts of going through duo's things. I grimaced at the thought of throwing anything away. I would probably keep some things, and I would separate out things his friends might like. I couldn't live in that house alone now. I had been offered a home by almost everyone of my friends. I would probably stay with mina, my best friend. I was surprised that even quatre and trowa had offered their extra room. I sighed sadly. So many memories rushed through my head.
