Quatre on the other hand had been through hell this past year and could never forget the feeling of having the one you love the most die. Then to find out he's alive with no memory and wanted him to die painfully.
Trowa could hear voices outside it sounded like Duo talking to a nurse. So he hid in the closet now wasn't the time for a confrontation. There was no way he would believe him not right now anyway.
Duo entered the room and saw his friend looking so pale and fragile. He sat down next to him and held his hand. When he remeber the last time Quatre was in the hospital just a few months ago.
********** Flashback*************
Quatre sat on the edge of the hospital bed looking down as he was surrounded by his friends. Duo was standing in front of him and he was extremly pissed off. He stared Quatre down Quatre had never seen Duo look so mad before.
"How dare you do something so stupid." Duo yelled.
Quatre looked away as Duo yelled again. "You look at me when I'm talking to you."
"you wouldn't understand Duo."
"Oh really dumb old Duo wouldn't understand right? Thanks buddy." Duo baited.
"No Duo your not dumb. I've never ever thought that about you. I just."
Duo kneeled in front of him and took his hand. "Tell me. I'm here for you." Duo assured him in a comforting tone.
"I'm just incomplete without him Duo I feel like there's this whole in my heart and each day it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I loved Trowa with not only my heart but my soul my whole being. Without him I just don't know what to do. I feel so alone and so lost."
Duo hugged him and rubbed his back in a soothing manner. "You're not alone. I'm here and so is Wufei and Heero too. We will always be here because we care about you. Don't you know that?"
"I'm useless without him. It's hurts Duo I want my Trowa back. I'm not whole without him."
"No you're not useless. We care about you you made us a family." Quatre pulled away and yelled.
"No that's not true! everytime I've tried to pull us together it hn this or hn that. They don't care about me no one does. Maybe you do Duo but they don't all through the war they only put up with me. You all thought I was nothing but a spoiled brat don't deny it I know it's true. they don't even call me Quatre they call me winner." Wufei had enough of this how dare he try to kill himself and presume to know what he felt it was an outrage that he was going to put an end to. "How dare you speak as though you know my mind and heart. I have never put up with anyone Winner." Wufei placed his hand on Quatre's shoulder, "We do care Win.. I mean Quatre." Wufei finished and Quatre smiled for the first time since it felt like forever.
Heero then spoke for the first time. "Quatre your not useless either. I wouldn't have trusted you to use zero if you were. You were my first friend and taught how to care about friendship."
"I thought Duo was your first friend." Quatre answered.
"I found him irritating. He wanted friendship and probly more. I didn't reckonize it though. You taught me how to be a friend you taught me compassion. and although I'm not there yet I think I'm getting better."
"Yes you are. I'm proud to be your friend Heero. I love you all very much."
"We've lost Trowa please don't you leave us too." said and now teary eyed Duo.
Quatre grabbed onto Duo and said in a soft voice. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Wufei and Heero joined in and they had a group hug. Quatre knew then he couldn't leave them. He simply said, "My family. My true family." They all tended to agree.
"Don't scare us like that again. We're here for you always." added Wufei.
"I won't I promise."
**********End Flashback*************
Duo rubbed Quatre's scar on his wrist tenderly. "I will protect you my friend. No one will take you away from us I promise. If that bastard tries to hurt you or I see him I'll kill that bastard memory or no memory.
Duo pulled out his cell phone to call the others and hit it. The damn thing kept saying no signal available so he left the room in search of a payphone. Completely forgetting there was one in the room. Plus he wanted to speak with Quatre's doctor.
Trowa knew he had to act fast. He slipped out of the room and found a room with medicine in it. He grabbed a sedative and a syringe. Filling it.
When he returned he saw two beautiful eyes staring up at him. Quatre smiled up at him. "Hmm Trowa your here."
"Of course nothing would or could keep me away. I've got some medicine for you."
Quatre looked up at him and didn't even question about it he trusted Trowa completly. Trowa administered it to him as Quatre held out his arm he said. "Love you Trowa."
"I love you to. Nothing will keep me from you agin I won't let anyone take you away."
"Promise?"
"I promise. Now sleep and when you wake everything will be taken care of." Quatre fell asleep with a smile on his face. Trowa carefully dressed him being careful not to irritate his wounds.
He picked him up and carried him to the open window and dropped the sheet after making it into a rope. His jeep right outside when he finally had Quatre buckled in an angry Duo yelled from the window. He was to late though as Trowa drove off. Duo yelled, "You're a dead man Barton."
Duo was pissed he began taring the room apart in a blind rage. Trowa had taken Quatre and who know's what he planned on doing to him. Ever since he lost his memory he had been quite vindictive.
Duo had become very protective of Quatre but even more so since Trowa's supposed death. Quatre he loved as though he were family and vice versa. Duo had been quite heart-broken when he found his friend on the bathroom floor with his wrist slit. There was blood everywhere. Duo began to cry at the thought as he fell to the ground.
As he cried Heero walked in and saw him. He quickly ran to his side. "He's got him Heero. Barton took Quatre." Duo cried.
"We'll get him back I promise."
"But what if? what if........"
"That way only lies madness Duo. Have faith Quatre will be fine either way Trowa Dies. No one hurts Quatre." he promised not only to Duo but to himself.
