+ chapter 13: Confrontation +

" Relena,"

" Yeah, it's me again. I knew that you wouldn't call me back since you have missed to call me for like how many days." Relena answered sharply. Anger evident in her voice, no longer suppressed.

" … I'm sorry about that… I knew you were going to be-"

" Heero, I know you know I will be busy," Relena finished for him. " But I also know that you will know my schedule. That's how you contacted me for the past year at a good time."

" I-"

" Heero what's going on?" Relena interrupted him again, dying to find out the answer of the question since the time she remembered about the call earlier.

" What do you mean?"

" I mean what is going on? Why have you gone not calling me for 8 days when you told me you would… and," Relena answered," what's happening down there?… what's happening with you?…"

" I've been really busy Relena…"

" Who's Serena?" Relena asked.

"… What?"

Relena let out a frustrated groan, " Heero, you know who I am talking about! Who is she and what is she to you?"

" Serena…"

Relena held her breath when she recognized how he spoke the name.

*~*

Heero thought about the blonde angel that was his roommate. The girl that cried at weird parts of a movie, the one who couldn't cook even if her life depended on it and has trouble with math. The one person who could make him do anything with a look and make him be spontaneous.

" … She's just my roommate…" Heero replied in a whisper.

*~*

Relena's lips trembled. " Heero… Don't lie to me…"

" I'm not lying,"

Relena let the tears fall, " Heero… What is going on between you and your roommate?"

" … Are you crying?"

" No… Answer my question Heero. Is she the reason why you haven't called?" Relena asked. This time making sure that there was no indication of her crying, in her voice.

" …You are crying, "

" So what if I am, just answer the question Heero!" Relena ordered, " Is she?"

" … I've just been busy,"

" With what?" Relena asked.

"…"

" With Serena?" Relena whispered.

" For the whole week and a half?" Relena asked, knowing his answer already even if he didn't voice it.

" …hn,"

" Why?" Relena said, as she wiped her cheeks dry of tears.

" … Why are you asking all these questions?"

" Because I wanna know why my boyfriend, never called me when he promised he would and when I finally get him on the phone. He hangs up on me!!" Relena raged," That's my reason why!"

" I'm sorry… but she was mad, she got hurt… and she was crying…"

" …All that happened because of me,"

Relena remained silent, wanting to hear more.

" So… I took her out, made her happy. Made her like me again…"

" Heero," Relena whispered, fresh tears spilling down from her ocean blue orbs.

" … It's a wonderful sound to hear her laugh… like when we watched that movie Lilo and Stitch,"

Relena whimpered. She had wanted to go to that movie with Heero, but he said it was too babyish. So they went to watch K 19 instead.

*~*

Heero smiled at the memory of seeing Serena squeal in laughter as she watched Stitch make his escape from Captain Gantu's ship.

" …She cried in that movie…" Heero said amused as he dug deeper into his memory of when they watched the cute movie. " I know… It's crazy to cry at that movie, but she did… Her excuse was that she could feel the pain…"

" Heero?"

Heero snapped out of his walk down memory lane when he heard Relena's broken voice. " Relena?"

" Do you…"

" Do I what?" Heero asked.

" Like Serena?… Love her even?"

Heero's heart raced fast, and he could feel himself go warmer at the thought of him loving the blonde. " Relena… don't be crazy,"

" Heero… Don't lie to me,"

Heero answered quickly," have you forgotten about us being together?"

" I haven't…"

" The-" Heero was interrupted.

" You have forgotten about us though Heero,"

Heero was silent. He knew that he hadn't been thinking about Relena at all for the past few days, but that doesn't mean that he has forgotten her. " Relena I just missed a few calls-"

" Tell me how you feel about Serena…"

" I.." Heero began. He didn't know what he felt for Serena. He felt too many when it came to her.

" I don't know," Heero whispered.

" Don't give me that answer!"

" Relena…"

" Have you not heard yourself at the beginning of the conversation?"

Heero grew silent. He actually didn't know why he said all those things. His lips just began moving as he was in his thoughts, thinking about Serena.

" How do you feel about me?"

Heero's eyes widened at the question. ' How do I feel?' he thought. Serena was nothing like Relena, and vice versa. The feelings he got from both of them are different too. To him the feelings that he was supposed to feel from the two girls were switched around.

" I see… Heero? Don't call me until you do know the answer okay?"

" Rel-"

*~*

" Goodbye,"

Relena placed the phone back down on the receiver and buried her head in her hands. She knew what Heero didn't know. She knew that when he called her it would be the end for them.

" Heero,"

*~*

Before Heero could say anything. The dial tone rang dead in his ears. Slowly lowering the phone back down on the receiver, Heero made his way towards the bedroom. Taking a seat on his bed he thought about what had just happened between him and Relena.

" Are we over?" Heero whispered in the night. A mumbling from the other bed of the room broke his reverie.

" Ice cream…" He heard Serena talk in her sleep. He stared at the girl's face, now adorned with a smile as she hugged her pillow tighter.

Remembering the conversation he just had with Relena, he stared at his roommate. ' Serena?' Heero thought. Staring at the sleeping blonde, Heero couldn't help but feel something so heavenly and yet forbidden, dangerous.

" But… Relena?" Heero whispered slowly, as he lay down on his bed. Trying to find the feeling that he has felt months ago for the honey haired princess.

*~*

Ever since she had woken up, everything changed. Heero was more quiet, and more to himself. Doesn't even gaze at her at all. Just completely ignoring her. ' Did I do something wrong?' Serena thought as she stared at where Heero sat hours ago.

Tears fell from her great blue eyes, not bothering to wipe them dry at all. She knew very well that she was late for school. She doesn't care though.

Serena stood up from her seat and walked over to the living room and plopped down on the couch and cried. They have gotten so close together and all of a sudden he is ignoring her. Acting as if they haven't shared all those fun times together.

" Heero?"

*~*

Rei and the girls went over to Heero and Serena's dorm. They have not seen Serena at their first class, and with what Amie had provided them. Serena hasn't shown up to her second class either. So here they are in front of Serena and Heero's dorm, at lunchtime, knocking on the door, wanting to find answers.

" Serena?" Lita called out.

No answer.

" Serena come on answer the door!!!" Rei exclaimed.

" Go away!!" came the tiny little broken voice. At the sound of the reply, all the girls worried.

" Serena?" Mina shouted through the door, " What's wrong sweety?"

" Just go away!" came Serena's reply.

" Is she crying?" Amie asked as she drew her ear away from the closed door.

" Serena!" Lita screamed aggravated. " Open the door!"

" I said leave me alone!!" Serena screamed back, her voice cracking at the end.

Lita stared up at Amie anger in her eyes: " Yeah she is,"

Rei turned around and walked away from the door.

" Where are you going?" Mina asked.

" I'm going to knock that bastard out!" Rei snarled as she walked furiously down the hall and to the elevator.

Lita ran after Rei: " Leave some for me Rei!"

" Hey wait up!" Mina and Amie cried out in unison as they chased after their friends.

*~*

Heero ate his sandwich slowly. Ever since the call, Heero didn't get any sleep at all. ' Relena…' he thought as he remembered what she had said to him last. He had been trying to think about Relena, but the image of her was always morphed into the image of his roommate.

' Why can't I get her out of my head just once?' he thought frustrated. He wanted to find answers, he didn't want to bury himself at the image of his blonde companion. He was about to bite down on his sandwich once more, but a yell stopped him.

" Yuy!" came an angry accusing voice.

Turning around he was faced with the angry girlfriend of Wufei. Seeing more girls coming, he was faced with his friend's girlfriends. His roommate's best friends.

" What did you do to her?" Rei asked as she stepped closer to him, fire in her eyes.

" Huh?" Heero asked, not knowing what they were talking about.

" You know who!" Lita hissed. " She's the person you have been leading on for the past week and a half!"

Heero's head was whipped to the side as the sound of skin hitting skin echoed through out the cafeteria.

Everyone stared at the shy girl: " What have you done to Serena?"

At the sound of the name Heero's heart raced, as a void conceived by worry settled in his stomach.
