-I looked at Heero in disbelief. I had never really had an admirerer who really respected me and liked me for being me. I sat in silence until I felt like I would go insane until Duo had casually walked to us.
-"So how are the love birds doing?" I felt my eyes darting from tree to tree and cloud to cloud desperately trying to keep that thought out of my head. Duo laughed at my current state. "Monica, look at me! You're acting like you have ADD or something hunny!" I offered him a smile as I shrugged. "Well we're all gonna go inside and dry off. Yah know and do the usual. We'll grab a bite to eat and go out for a spin at the park." He extended his hand to me lifting me to my feet while giving his famous wink to Heero.
-When we entered the living room everyone had situated themselves on the couches talking loudly over cups of lemonade and cookies. Duo pulled up a chair from the dinning room but I waved my hand dissmissing it. I'd rather stand on my two feet. "So you guys want to go for a spin? Well the weather is nice so let's go before the sunsets people!" When I turned my back to them heading to the garage, I failed to see that they all looked at each other in confusion. I opened the garage door and saw a large metal rack holding up seven slightly old looking bicycles. I walked over and pulled a dark red bike out of it's hold and walked it over to the open garage door.
-"Hey Monica? We ment a spin in our cars." Wufei said scrunching his brow.
-"Why not? I mean it's a perfectly good day and you can't get half the thrill from the inside of an enclosed car when you could be in the wide open." I said sitting on the seat. I was about to give another reason why we should ride bikes when Heero squeezed through the little crowd and took a bike for himself. The others shrugged and agreed to go with the flow and so grabbed a bike for their own. I smiled triumphantly and sat on the seat and started pedaling. On the way to the park Trowa gave me a very questionable look. He smiled lightly, never keeping his eyes away from mine. I started feeling uncomfortable from his endless gazing. To avert his attention, I sped away full speed towards the bike trails that wound around the park. I looked back to see him catching up to my bicycle. He smiled evily and sped on zooming passed me. I licked my dry lips and pedaled as hard as my skinny and puny legs could take me. I was still a good foot away from his when I started concentrating on the back of his head so much that I sped over a large rock planted in the trail. I gave a loud scream as the bicycle and I went crashing to the earth. My body was crushed under the bike and I could feel a sharp sting throbbing on my knee. All I could do was look up at the sky and wonder how stupid I must have looked just seconds ago. I heard small pebbles being rubbed into the dirt by a dozen pair of wheels. I turned my eyes enough to see the distant clouds of dust from the others rolling in. I hadn't noticed immediately but Trowa was already kneeling besides me. I looked at him with my eyes full of tears that the color of his eyes were just but a blur of green. He carefully untangled my legs from the wheel of the bicycle and layed them flat.
-"Monica!" I heard someone calling me and I saw it was Duo. I looked at him to smile but because of it the tears started falling and I was beginning to wonder why I was even crying. Soon after I remembered when I felt someone gingerly touch my knee. I shot straight up sitting up supporting myself. The others stood around me with concerned faces even Relena. I saw that it was Heero that touched my leg. He pulled a camoflouge bandana from his back pocket and wrapped it around my knee. I didn't know that it had bled so much. The blood trailed down far enough to almost flow over my ankle. I frowned when I noticed that Trowa was talking to Relena. Even if it was just to tell her about what just happened. Heero stretched his hand to lift me to my feet. The moment of silence was quite awkward until Duo put a bag of bread in front of my face. I smiled taking the loaf of Wonder bread into my hands. We walked to the lake's edge and distributed slices of bread between each other. I finished giving out bread when I saw Duo take a large bite of bread.
-"Duo! That's for the ducks!" I said shaking my head.
-"Well it's not fair if they get all of it I'm hungry too." He said pouting his lip.
-"If your that hungry I'll treat everyone to dinner. How does that sound? Pizza sound good?" I laughed when Duo nodded his head vigorously. I looked back to the lake as I began tearing the bread and tossing them to the ducks. They gathered in a frenzy eating every last crumb. When I had none left I joined Wufei in the playground. He sat in the grass to meditate while I sat on the swing set. Trowa and Relena stayed by the waters speaking of politics and things I wasn't really interested in while Duo held on for dear life on the spinning wheel. Heero spun it mercilessly while Quatre sat on a park bench laughing at the sight. I smiled lightly seeing the joy on everyone's face. The thought of them brought me back to Trowa and Relena. I stared in awe at her. How pretty she was and how handsome Trowa was. It was a match made in heaven. I lowered my eyes when I heard the soft patting of a pair of feet tracking towards me. I looked up shielding my eyes with my hand. At that moment Heero looked so angelic. The sunlight protruding through the trees framed his face tinting it gold. All he ever was since I got here was kind to me. I never really showed him how much I appreciated it but after his confession of his true feelings I just never had the courage to get close to him. I was afraid....scared because I didn't feel the same way to him. He lifted his hand and held onto the chain of the swing. I swayed here and there until I stopped moving. I was curious as to why his face was so serious.
-"Heero is there something wrong?" I asked in silent fear.
-"Nothing is wrong."I raised an eyebrow out of my own curiosity. He just cocked his head to the side. I looked passed him to see that everyone was heading back onto their bikes. I followed Heero out of the small playground and onto the dirt road again.
-"So, everyone ready to eat? I'm treating tonight so eat all you want!" I said. Duo clapped his hands shouting, "Monica is the bomb!" I laughed smacking him playfully on the arm.
~*~After Pizza~*~
-I had planned on sleeping over Heero's. It was convenient because he lived alone. Actually, everyone except Relena and I lived alone.They all either had foster parents or had their own place. I always found that to be odd. They all lived on their own fighting battles on their own and just living their life alone in the world. Everyone was invited to stay and I was quite baffled at the thought that all the guys were going to be over with me. I actually had in my gut that something was going to be terribly wrong that night. It did....just something I never could have imagined.
-"Actually, Princess, everyone is pretty much tired, so we'll have us some fun tomorrow morning so for tonight go to bed and we'll be just fine." Duo said rubbing my arm. I nodded and headed to Heero's guest room. The plain grey colored walls made the room dreary like the mood I was in. I tried brushing off the strong knot in my stomach so I changed into my flanel light blue night gown. The night had exhausted me as well and my thirst drove me to get a drink. I passed by Heero's bedroom when I heard my name being mentioned in an obviously secretive conversation. Just a secret to me.
-"Heero, I told you we shouldn't have gotten close to Monica. You know as well as all of us that if we did she would get hurt in the end." Heero just looked away with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He looked away out the window. Duo sat on his bed as Quatre stood besides Trowa who was speaking. "You know what White Fang will do to her right? You should have let us end it before it got this far. They've seen us with her. It's too late now, and you know she's in for it." I didn't understand what I was "in for" and what was going to happen to me but it sounded alarming to my ears. I heard the floor boards creek to my right and so I quickly turned my head to see Wufei standing there watching me. I gasped aloud causing Heero's door to swing wide open with Trowa who grabbed my arm pulling me into the room.
-"How much did you hear?" he questioned coldly. Quatre stepped in before I could answer pulling Trowa's tight grip on my arm away.
-"Did I miss something? All Iam hearing is about something that is going to alter my life forever and I have a god damned right to know!" I said tossing my hair to the side in anger. I avoided looking any of them in the eye.
-"You want to know?! DO YOU!" I looked up with fire in my eyes to meet fire. Heero's eyes were exploding with unexplainable emotion. "We're apart of a secret organization. All of us are highly trained and well we could do anything you could imagine. Just name it we do it. We work for the Preventers. They fight invisible criminals, criminals that you could have never thought of because they are so vicious and so well organized that regular police can't handle it, that's when it comes to us." I choked on my breath, it was stuck in my throat.
-"Very funny." I said. Seeing their dead serious complextions I was afraid out of my mind. "Take me home!" I said running out. I rushed into my room putting everything in my bag. I couldn't see because the strange information was just sinking in and it was taking control of my mind. I walked passed the guys with Heero behind me. I just swung open the door out of rage and slammed the car door shut strapping myself in. Heero slowly began to drive to my house when I started to cry.
-"Monica?" He asked so calmly I was scared as to how comfortable he is with me knowing this.
-"What?" I asked looking out the window.
"Are you okay?" I rolled my eyes as we pulled into the driveway. I blew air out of my mouth and got out of the car. He followed me to the front door. I fumbled with my keys trying to avoid answering his question because I was obviously very upset with the whole situation. I unlocked the door and decided to answer him.
-"How do you think I feel? I just found out from my closest friends that their whole existence has been a lie! I never really knew any of you! You are just a bunch of psycho teenage cops! Congratulations...you've completely got by me and you fooled me damn well..."I swung open the door, but I couldn't move further. My mouth only dropped open my eyes laid upon the gotesque site of my loving parents laying on the floor in a pool of their own blood. As realization sunk in my eyes began to sting. I dropped to my knees.
-"Mom?" I called to her, but her form lay still. "Oh God." I took my unsteady hand and reached out to her. Touching her shoulder her body rolled to the side to reveal that she was stabbed right in the heart. I choked back a sob as my intake of air was decreasing as more of the horror was being revealed. I crawled to my father whispering his name in hopes he would rise and hold me one last time. "Daddy? Daddy please get up. GET UP!!!" I yelled. The house was deadly silent, the only noise being my voice resounding in my empty hallways. I started beating his arm with my fists. "WAKE UP DAMNIT! Wake up!" Even though his eyes were in an icy lifeless state, I could see all the good things and sacrifices he made for me. I saw his palm open with a paper sticking out. I stretched open his cold stiff fingers to see a picture of the family. The faces of my parents and two sisters were crossed out while in red ink my face was circled. Anger and an indescribable hatred erupted inside me causing me to scream at the top of my lungs. I squeezed my eyes shut and stood up turning my back on the bloody scene. I felt an arm touch my shoulder. I opened my eyes only to see the distorted figure of Heero standing there. His facial features blurred by the unshed tears that lingered around my eyes. His faced melted into a memory of my father and mother holding my hands lifting me as I skipped. My memory was shut out as soon as the picture of their limp bodies flooded into my mind making me shut my eyes. Rivers ran from my eyes. My heart ached with so much pain it was hard to tell if I was to die in that moment too or if I was to live life in a cruel and pathetic state.
In the state of being alone.
A/N: How is it? I know it is pretty violent and graphic and sad but that's how the story goes so, just stay with me. I have alot more where that came from and I'm telling you it will be great. Leave lots of comments for me!
