Chapter 4
Listen…Listen to me…listen to the beatings of my heart…listen to my cries as I am swallowed by darkness…and loneliness…listen to my soul…telling you that you're my everything…
Relena Peacecraft was sitting in her bed, thinking because she could not fall asleep. She gave a small sigh. Today, classes seemed like an eternity before they passed. It was today that she found out everything had changed. It felt like the whole world had moved on and left her behind.
**Her long golden hair blew around her as she stood on the warm sand. How peaceful it was here as many families headed home for supper. She sat on a big rock and watched tiny waves crash against the shore. She had spent a wonderful day at the beach and came across this area. It was so isolated from the outside world. It was so peaceful, so beautiful. She took in a deep breath of salty ocean air. The warmth of the pink sun could be felt. She looked over to the horizon. The sun was beginning to set. How she loved watching sunsets! It was such a wonderful thing. However, no matter how beautiful the sky was, it was time to head back or her family would worry. She got up but she lost her balance on the wet rocks and slipped. She let out a small yelp as she fell. Soon, she felt strong arms go around her waist. She looked up…her eyes met those of a deep, beautiful shade of blue…it was like a gem, shining and bold.
"Thank you…" she managed to whisper.
He was wandering around the beach. His duty had just finished. He liked this spot. Not much people
seem to come here. Then he saw her…A beautiful girl with golden hair. The warm breeze blew and swirled it around her. Suddenly, she slipped. He felt himself react quickly. He rushed over to her and caught her just in time. Their glances locked. He could hear her murmur a thank you.
He looked at her beautiful eyes with the colour of the ocean. "No problem."
She tried to get up, but pain caused her to wince.
"Your hand is cut and you probably sprained your ankle." He said.
He then ripped a strip from his plaid shirt and tended to the cut on her hand. She looked at him. An unexplainable feeling washed over her. He picked her up.
"I don't think you can walk. You need immediate medical help."
He carried her all the way back to the lifeguard station.
"Young lady, where do you think…oh my, are you all right hun?" her father inquired.
"What happened dear?" Her mother asked.
"I was watching the sunset and as I got up to leave, I slipped. This gentleman here helped me." She replied.
"We do appreciate your kindness." Her brother stated.
"It was my duty as a junior lifeguard." The boy simply replied. "Hope you heal your injuries quickly."
With that, he walked off. She couldn't help but stare at him. What she didn't know was that after she looked away, he also stole a glance back at her.**
Heero sighed. So many things have happened during this week. He was on his balcony. Duo was sleeping like a pig so he decided to come out, look at the stars and think. Things were sure giving him a headache. Why did she have to appear all of a sudden? Why now? He really wanted an answer. He was so confused.
What will happen? Why do I feel like this? He didn't want to think. It was all too much, but he couldn't avoid it! She was in two of his classes this semester: psychology and calculus. Why did he take psychology anyway? He just felt that urge to. He gave another sigh. Maybe he should try and sleep…there will be a busy day ahead of him. From right then, he decided he would take things one at a time. He gave the night sky a last glance before heading inside.
