Chapter 6By the Pretty Penwriter
"Relena!" I called to her but she did not reply…
I don't know who called the ambulance and I did not care, I didn't even feel my legs move as a walked with the stretcher holding her hand. I don't even know what my reply was when the attendant asked me a question or the ride to the hospital for that matter. What I do remember was that after we arrived to the hospital 5 security guards had to drag me away from Relena when she was strolled into the operating room. I numbly found a seat and sat my eyes staring at the linoleum floor in a daze, I knew on my shirt there was blood from being scratched by the glass. I couldn't feel anything when the nurse began to tap on my shoulder I looked up at the blonde haired and blue eyed nurse and broke down into tears she looked so much like Relena except she was healthy looking and sane. I buried my head into my hands and cried I felt a pair of arms encircle me, no more than one pair three. I looked up to the tearful faces of 3 of my best friends and began crying all over again. After all of us had no tears left to cry I sniffled and asked,
"Did anyone call Milliardo?"
Hilde nodded "I did, I basically called everyone that I knew and could be trusted."
There was a moment of silence actually there were a lot of moments of silence.
"Did you call Heero?" I asked out of the blue.
"No…but I called Duo I'm sure he'll call Heero, I don't think Heero is what Relena needs." Hilde confessed
Another odd moment of silence until a loud noise of people intruded on their silence. A troupe of six men that all the women knew were hassling the receptionist because she wasn't telling them anything.
Sally sighed and stalked over to the men and talked to them and then pointed to me.
I looked up and locked eyes with Milliardo then turned my eyes to the ground apparently I didn't cry myself out; I still had plenty of tears left to shed.
// Hitomi gasped and closed her eyes her mother had never told her such stories of Relena…obviously she had removed them from her mind, it didn't seem a subject a mother would discuss with her child. She shook her head and sighed,
"Lu what do you want me to speak about??" she asked to herself to so she thought.
"Who's Lu?" A thick voice asked
Hitomi released an annoyed sigh and turned to the tall blonde man in her doorway.
"What do you want Will." She growled
"Why so angry?" he asked his deep blue eyes laughing.
"Well for one thing you tried to break Tristin and I up with that twisted scheme of yours and for that I will always be angry with you."
"I was only doing it for your own well being I'm sure your father would rather have me as a son-in-law instead of that miscreant lower class Maxwell." He answered
"For one my father respects honor that is what you have none of, two I don't give a damn who my father says I can or cannot marry, three I'm not even thinking about getting married and four you're nothing but a stuck up, spoiled, small minded brat! I would never love you or even try to! Who the hell do you think you are to call the man that I love that and if he's lower class than so am I and I'll revel in it!" Hitomi snarled and got to her feet.
"Who am I?! I am the son of the great Quatre Winner how dare you speak to me like that!"
"I'll speak to you any damn well way I please I cannot believe you're Quatre's kid I've never believed it and Dorothy would never raise a child such as you! Your sister has more decency than you do. And we're not in your fathers house Will we're at a camp training to go into a war…so if you want to have a hate against Tristin or me fine but just remember we'll be the ones who are covering your ass on the battle field."
Will glared at Hitomi with pure hate for a moment and then blinked.
"I'm so sorry Hitomi but why are you staying with that…disgusting pile of filth?" he asked
"Hey Will do you know how I got my nickname?" she asked and narrowed her eyes.
He gulped and backed slowly out of the room.
"Call him that again and you'll feel the wrath of the dragon!" she threatened and then slammed her door.
Hitomi punched the pillow on her bed and breathed in a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then plopped down on her bed and continued reading the journal.//
A week Relena had been in the hospital, a week Heero had been by her side. I made my visits, as I should either getting to visit her with my preventer badge or saying I was family. I didn't care what I did just so I could see her I would sit on the other side of the bed across from Heero. I would hold her hand and wipe a few strands of misplaced hair aside, no she hadn't waken up yet and was being fed by a tube. Seeing all these wires always made me cry, seeing how pale and sickly she looked always made me cry even more. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that this was the same Relena who I had come to know as my friend and as well a sister. This time I visited I knew it would be different though because I was on a mission to get from Heero what Relena always wanted to know…if he loved her or not.
"Heero?" I asked out of the blue.
The noise must have startled him because he jumped slightly if it weren't for the situation we were in I'd probably laugh. He looked at me his eyes held surprise as well as questions. I could see now how many a time Relena lost herself in those large purssian orbs; they were always so serious and shielding yet at the same time pleading for some help. Those eyes that always-locked away emotion weren't locked now though they were showing his true feelings…Heero Yuy was scared.
Reaching over with my other hand I placed it on top of his.
"Heero. If you're here you must care for her right?" I asked
"I am here––"he stopped like he had said something wrong and then shook his head slowly. When he looked back up and into my eyes I almost gasped to see that he was almost crying.
"Of course I care for her…she brought warmth into my life when there was nothing but cold, light when there was nothing but darkness and love when I had nothing but hate. And what did I do?? I ignored her for it why…I don't know why I ignored her maybe I thought this feeling that I have for her would diminish in time but it only grew stronger." He explained to me.
I was near speechless at his words he stood up knocking his chair back and began pacing.
"I wasn't there for her when she needed me to be or wanted me to be, but she was always there for me. How could I be such an asshole to Relena…how could I…how…" he broke down into tears right then and covered his face with his hands.
Now all those words Heero had just said were more words than he had said in an entire year, being the person that I was I stood and hugged Heero. He buried his head into my shoulder and cried like a lost little boy and I cried with him. We soon stopped crying, he wiped his tears on the sleeve of his shirt and smiled at me.
"Thank you N––Lucretzia." He said and went back to his chair. He pulled it back up next to Relena and resumed holding her hand. I resumed my post sitting in my chair holding onto Relena's hand when her eyes fluttered open.
I know what I expected, I expected a hug and tears of joy from Relena and maybe even a wise crack or two but that was not what I received. She snatched both her hands out of our grasp and crossed her arms glaring at the two of us. I don't know how but in that split second Relena was sinister.
"What do you two want?" she hissed.
"Relena…" Heero murmured
"What!" she barked with hate in that one word.
She began yanking the wires out of her arms and tried to get out of the bed.
"Relena stop it." I ordered as I held her down to the bed by her shoulders.
"Let go of me bitch!" she growled and then punched me in my only weak spot, my ribs.
I cried out in pain but did not let go of her.
"Heero go get some help don't just stand there!" I shouted at him.
He shook himself and ran out the hallway.
"Relena come on now stop acting like this where is the Relena that I knew?" I said softly
"Ha! That Relena is long gone now it's just me and the other left no more old Relena!" the voice hissed as she continued to assault me now using her legs kicking me in the ribs, every blow I felt I could feel my strength giving out even more.
"Come on now Relena don't act this way!" I ordered I could feel a dribble of blood slide past my lips, and I could hear the footsteps.
She ignored me now; she just concentrated on shouting obscenities at me and kicking.
"Relena I just want to help you, to get you help now please Relena calm down." I pleaded
She stopped kicking and narrowed her eyes, I was about to sigh in relief when she pulled both legs back and kicked me I flew off of her and down to the floor. She tried to get out of bed but now Heero had finally arrived with reinforcements, Heero had a set of handcuffs in his hands and shackled one of her arms to the railing of the hospital bed while Wufei handcuffed the other to the bed.
I smiled slowly and then fell into the darkness of unconsciousness.
I don't know when I woke up, but I did see plenty of familiar faces in my room, which was nicely, decorated with maybe 100 vases of flowers of every kind and teddy bears galore. I licked my dry lips and tried to speak but found my throat was too dry, Sally handed me a glass of water I gulped it down ravenously.
"Where's Relena?" I asked after I finished my cup of water.
They all looked down at the floor but I persisted.
"Where's Relena?" I asked once again.
"Two days ago Milliardo committed Relena into a mental health asylum." Wufei answered
I could always trust Wufei to tell me the truth no matter what.
I slowly nodded my head.
"You've been out for 5 days, you've suffered internal bleeding, 4 cracked ribs and a slight concussion from when you landed on the floor." Sally answered a question she knew I was going to ask.
"Did she break 2 new ribs?" I asked
"When did you have your ribs last broken and how?" Milliardo asked solemnly
I turned to him than shook my head "Why? You wouldn't believe me." I curtly answered him.
There was silence for a while after that until I spoke up again,
"By the way who put all these flowers in here I feel like I'm about to die from all the fumes." I said trying to lift the dark mood that had descended us all.
Quatre grinned sheepishly.
"I did Miss. Noin well actually we all did." He answered
"All right this ends right here and now Quatre if you call me Miss. Noin one more time I'm gonna shave you bald!" I exclaimed
"Heh…Alright Lucretzia have it your way." He answered
"That Miss stuff makes me feel so old."
Hilde sidled up to me.
"But you are old." She pointed out.
"That's it where's my gun!" I exclaimed
They all laughed lightly well that is except Milliardo and of course myself.
By being a pain in the ass at the hospital I managed to leave a week earlier than supposed to and arrived back to the Peacecraft manor. I rolled into the house in my wheelchair it would have to be used for the next month or so until my ribs could heal a bit and rolled around the house. Until I came to Milliardo's study, I knocked lightly hopping that maybe he wasn't there but he was he opened the door slowly and invited me in.
"Yes Lucretzia?" he asked.
"Milliardo at the ski lodge Relena tried to kill me and a few weeks before that on the same day that I told you Relena needed help she was poking herself with a pin over and over again." I said getting straight to the point.
His eyes narrowed "Why didn't you tell me?" he growled
"Don't you think I tried but now I was ushered out of your room like some lost cattle and then I just gave up at trying to tell you because you weren't listening. You wouldn't have believed me if I told you your sweet and innocent sister was going insane NO! You wouldn't have because you would've tried as best as you can to ignore it."
"No I wouldn't have." He defended
"Yes you would have you've always have Milliardo! When the Cinq Kingdom fell you hid yes that was a smart move I agree but then when you became powerful enough and gained it back from the alliance you ignored the throne and went to fight somewhere else. You instead handed the throne to Relena because you claimed about killing too many people that was bull you just wanted to ignore your responsibilities. When Libra was going down you faked your death in order to avoid the responsibility of helping Relena manage the kingdom, after the Marimaea incident you left without saying hello or goodbye to your sister you ignored the responsibility of accepting love from anyone." I finished I could tell I was near tears at admitting these things to him but it had to be done.
"Get out." He murmured and when I didn't move he shouted,
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DON'T COME BACK!"
I complied and needless to say that ended our relationship as lovers and as friends…
TBC
OMG I'm so mean to Noin…and so cruel to her and Relena but it's a drama. Criticize people and praise if you think this story deserves it ~_^
