Part 13: The Break-Up

Relena awoke in the hospital. She had the worst headache in the world and her head was wrapped. Relena looked to her left and saw Heero standing there. He looked as though he hadn't slept in ages.

" Heero?" Relena whispered lightly. Heero looked up and looked at her. He smirked a little. Relena tried to smile, but that hurt too. It hurt basically to sit there, still as a rock with her eyes open.

" How are you?" He asked. Relena tried to smile, but it was a very bad attempt. Then she sketchily remembered what happened.

" Heero, what happened?" Relena asked. Her eyes looked at him for answers. Heero looked at her. He wasn't sure if he should tell her or not. Then Zechs walked in. He looked disheveled and unkempt. He looked as if he hadn't slept in about eight days. He saw Relena sitting up and smiled, his face looking bright again.

" I see you're up." He said, his voice dangerously shaky. Relena watched as her brother lost all control and hugged her.

" Zechs, what happened? Why won't anyone tell me what has happened?" Relena said, getting infuriated. Zechs looked at Heero. Heero just looked at him with that "You-tell-her" look. Zechs sighed and released Relena. He shook his head and walked out.

" Heero Yuy, I swear if someone doesn't tell me what the fuck happened, I will kill someone. I'm dead ass serious." Relena threatened, trying desperately to keep her face from showing the pain. Heero noticed that her heart rate had gone up. She was getting a little too apprehensive for his likings.

" Relena, Lady Une died yesterday from a gunshot and possibly from the grief that the bullet meant most likely for you merely scraped your head and hit Mariemeia right in her chest." Relena gasped and the sound of Mariemeia's death.

" She died." Relena breathed out. Heero barely understood her. Relena sat back and felt her consciousness leaving her.

About two weeks later, Relena had been living a very not happy life. The new president, Darlian, was a stiff one. He had pretty much no feeling. Relena and Heero were falling apart. One day, it was clear that one needed space.

" Relena, you need to get out of that bed. This act is getting old." Heero said. Relena glared at him.

" You are the most insensitive guy that I have ever met. Because of me, the whole First Family is dead. Because of me, Svetlana is dead. Because of me, my fucking fiancé is dead! So don't you tell me anything about enough is enough, Heero Yuy, or I'll kill you myself!" Relena yelled. Heero stepped forward. She looked him in the eye insolently. Heero smirked.

" Are you trying to say something?"

" I'm just saying that you are an insensitive little prick that I'd rather see underneath my feet!" Relena screamed. Heero jerked her out of the bed to face him. Relena still stared him in the eye, unafraid. Their breathing was hard.

" Why are you acting like a bitch?" A resounding slap was heard after those words. Heero touched his face.

" Get the fuck out of my room." Relena growled, her voice so low it was practically a purr. Heero looked at her. Relena pointed toward the door, trying hard not to cry.

" Get the hell out!" Relena screamed. Heero left.

AN: Ooooh! Is this the end of Heero & Relena? What will happen at the Grammys?
