Part 17: The Visit
When Relena awoke, her head was spinning. It felt as if she'd been hit by a bus. Every single part of her already fragile body was aching. It even hurt to blink. She tried to sit up, but her body wouldn't allow her. She heard hushed talking in the room. Closing her eyes again, Relena tried to listen.
" Heero, you just can't go and blame other people." Zechs said in a hushed voice. Heero shook his head.
" How is it that she is the only one who can remember what she did last night, and she was with us the entire time?" Heero countered, trying to stay quiet. Relena just lye still, listening without making a peek.
" I don't know, Heero. I know she has the quintessence of a bitch, but you can't just start blaming her. When you have solid proof, then we'll take action, Heero. But, I can't just pin this on her. Believe me, I would if I could. I'm going to find Noin, you watch Relena." Zechs took one last yearning look at his sister, then disappeared out the door. Relena opened her eyes. A rush of pain filled her.
" You you know who it was, don't you?" She whispered in a strangled way. Heero looked up at her, but didn't respond. Relena stared up at him with unblinking eyes. Her head hurt and her eyes were tearing from the pain.
" Go to sleep, Relena." Heero groaned in an almost annoyed sort of way. Relena used all her strength to push herself up. She leaned lazily against the headboard and pillow then glanced back at Heero.
" You have no idea how painful that was." She tried to say loudly, but it still remained on a stifled murmur. Heero still only looked at her. Relena frowned a bit.
" You heard us." He said finally. Relena nodded stiffly and sucked in a gasp of air. She looked at the IV in her arm and frowned.
" What happened? I thought I only had a concussion." Relena whispered. Heero looked away from her finally.
" You passed out while screaming about your head. I guess the concussion was just too strong." Heero said. Relena nodded again, then her eyes drooped. She scooted back down in the bed and looked at Heero.
" I think I will sleep." Relena went back to sleep. Heero watched her for the rest of the night.
The next morning, Dorothy Catalonia, Relena's friend from high school, came to visit. She had a wonderful bouquet of roses, carnations, and daisies. Relena was eating the horrid stuff they called food from the hospital. She almost cried when she saw Dorothy.
" Hi, Relena." Dorothy said in that low, smooth voice of hers. Relena smiled a happy grin, one she hadn't smiled since two nights ago.
" How did you find me?" Relena asked. Dorothy just smiled. She sat the flowers down and sat in the chair next to Relena's bed.
" Well, I watch the news. You've been all over it." Dorothy said as the door opened once again. Solange walked in. Her eyes were puffy. She saw Dorothy and the two looked at each other for a while.
" Hi, Relena. How are you feeling?" Solange said, taking her eyes off of Dorothy. Relena looked at Solange, wondering what that look to Dorothy was all about. Then she decided to answer.
" The doctor said I could leave tomorrow. But, I should rest for at least a month. No strenuous work." Relena shifted uneasily, then looked back at Dorothy, who had her head down.
" I'll visit tomorrow before you leave. It was nice seeing you again, Relena." Dorothy left in sweeping manner. She passed Solange. They regarded each other in what seemed to move by in slow motion. Solange followed her out in a hurry. Relena looked confused, then pushed her food away and shoved the horrid thoughts from her mind.
Outside Relena's room, Solange caught up with Dorothy.
" What the hell were you doing here?" Solange whispered in a warning tone.
" Do not order me about, Solange. You asked for my help in this, and you got it. If I want to see her, in the hospital, looking as pathetic as she is, then I will. Do you get me?"
" Yeah, I get you. But, I don't think Heero bought my story. He's on this how-do-I-know-what-I-did-that-night-but-no-one-else-does thing. I think we need to get rid of him." Solange said. Dorothy just smiled in that sadistic way that she does.
" Why did you leave Kele alive, Solange? Why isn't she dead?" Dorothy asked. Solange looked down.
" I don't know. She looked pretty dead when I stabbed her."
" But you didn't check her, did you? Solange, you are such an amateur." Dorothy started to walk away.
" Amateur? You've done this before?" Solange asked, looking worriedly at her.
" You do remember Roslyn, don't you?"
" Who? You mean that broad that got murdered when we were seniors in high school?"
" Yeah." Dorothy walked away, leaving Solange to stand her vicious wake.
AN: Well, enter the Dorothy realm. Everyone's prayers have been answered. Don't worry, the story will have a twist and don't worry again, you can't predict the ending. And another thing, if you can't say anything nice about my writing, don't say anything at all, please. You're hurting my feelings. I love praises and flames at the same time, but if it's just a flame, don't bother. I've gotten enough of that. Much obliged.
