Going Back on Choices made...
I do not own G-Gundam. I only own Claude Laurent.
"Choose? One of you?" Domon asked timidly. "Are... You serious?"
"Yes. I am. You either choose, or Allenby. I need to know now Domon." Rain said. "I need to know, for my own sake Domon. I truly thought you did love me, but now I just don't know..." her eyes watered, threatening to spill over.
Domon stood there quiet, it was either Rain or Allenby now. 'Who do I love more? I don't even know!' Domon thought angrily. He looked at both of them, staring straight into their eyes trying to see who it would be. In Rain's eyes, he saw the hurt he put her through, the pleading look to choose her, but, a hint of anger in them as well. Allenby had an eager look, her eyes searching his as well, trying to see if it would be her. He sighed aloud.
"Rain, you know I can't choose between you both..." He said quietly. He felt her anger growing.
"If you can't choose, I'll do it for you! You can go back to that girl there okay?!" Rain yelled pointing at Allenby. "I've had enough! I do not need mourn the loss of you! You've done nothing but lie and sneak around me! Our promises, our dreams, shattered!!! I don't need that kind of pain anymore. I've had it..." She sobbed at the end. Her cold barrier finally broke, she couldn't hold up the strong 'I don't care' shield anymore. She felt alone and lost in the world. The man she loved for so long, whom she trusted, had broken her heart to billions of pieces.
"Rain please. I don't want-" Domon started but Rain cut him off.
"Shut up Domon. I don't need your apologies..." She said, strangely calm. "Just leave, both of you." She said as she slowly walked to the door.
Allenby was confused. She knew Rain loved Domon, even more than she herself could ever, so why had she given him up? "Rain, I'm sorry..." Rain looked at Allenby.
"As I said. No need for apologies." And with that, She opened the door and left.
~*~*~Outside the Room~*~*~
Everyone stood there, hearing the end of the argument. They all felt hurt that Rain had to go through all of this.
"Claude, I'm sorry, this must be very, confusing for you." Marie Louise said sadly. "Things weren't supposed to go like this."
"No, it is fine Marie Louise, I just hope Rain will be alright." He said , his concern in his voice. As if on cue, Rain came out, her eyes red and puffy, she stumbled a bit here and there. She looked at everyone. Her eyes brimmed with tears, making everyone feel her hurt. She turned to Marie Louise and said quietly.
"Can I please be excused to my room?"
"Oh, yes of course..." She said slowly. She led Rain to her room quietly, turning to motion Claude to follow. Then they disappeared.
After they left, Domon and Allenby came out. George walked up to Domon stiffly.
"What the hell happened in there Domon?" George asked scornfully.
"None of your business George." was the quiet reply. For a minute, everyone stood staring. 'Why was Domon so, quiet?' That was the question on all of their minds. Usually, Domon would come out with a rude reply, but why was he all of a sudden so, sad? Did he actually feel the pain of Rain?
"Bro? What was that about?" Sai Saichi asked, breaking the silence.
"Rain..." Domon mumbled then stared at the floor.
"C'mon Domon, let's leave, Rain obviously doesn't want us here..." Allenby said, ignoring the glares she got as she took Domon's arm. He shrugged her off his arm, which surprised her.
"No, she doesn't want us here... But I'm staying anyways. I think it would be better if you left Allenby... The choice I would have made in there would have been Rain. No mater what.. I'm sorry..." He said sternly. "I was wrong to do this whole thing with you. I need Rain..."
"A..A-Are you serious Domon? What we had for these last past few weeks is nothing to you? Domon! Please?....Tell me it isn't so...." Allenby said as she started crying.
"Yes. Please, understand." He said as he looked up at George. "Do you have a spare room?"
George stood there silent for a minute. 'Domon truly feel what he did was wrong. He knows now...' He thought as he stared back at Domon. "Yes, I do. Follow me." he said as he and Domon left to his room.
All the others, Argo and Natasha, Chibodee and Bunny, Sai Saichi and Cecil, started at Allenby crying. They knew her pain was great, but nothing in compare of what happened to Rain. So, they slowly turned and left her. while leaving though, Chibodee, Argo, and Sai Saichi turned to her.
"You brought this onto yourself." Argo said calmly.
"Yeah, you knew Bro couldn't love as much as he did Rain." Sai Saichi pointed out.
"You always knew. You just thought you could get away with it." Chibodee said. Then they all turned and left. Leaving Allenby to stand there, alone.
'They are all right...' a part of her said.
"I know, I know, They're always right..." She said as she walked out of the palace, turning back to look once more. "Good-bye Domon. I will always love you. No matter what you feel towards me or Rain. As long as your happy, even if its not with me, I'm happy.." She smiled and walked away...
