Secret Passions
Chapter 8
Reliving the past
Over and Over, And Over again My Heart is breaking Over and Over And Over again (Wilson Phillips)
The ambulance siren roared, breaking the silence of the night, taking Relena to the hospital. Heero went with her in the ambulance, holding her hand, while they tried to keep her alive until they reach the hospital. Silent tears stream freely down Heeros face.
"Is she going to make it?" he asked hopefully.
"It doesn't look good. But it is possible."
They pulled into the hospital and rushed her off to the ER to remove the bullet.
20 minutes after the ambulance left the ball
Quatre was sitting on a couch with Trowa. Drix was in a loveseat with Wufei, crying into his shoulder. Dorothy was very quiet, and as white as snow in a chair by herself. Heero paced the waiting room, flashing death glares at all the nurses for no reason. He had stopped crying and made the paramedics swear on their lives they would never breathe a word of it to anyone. And Duo, who had come because Quatre had and because after he had seen Heero, he wanted to meet him. Something about him took his breath away, but it wasn't the right time now, he just wanted to watch him. See what he is like. He had said that he wanted food and went to the vending machine, where he could watch Heero without being noticed.
Duo stood by the vending machine, unconsciously playing with the end of his long braid. He watched the stoic boy try to hide his emotions. To anyone not paying attention, you'd never see the pain. But Dou did, he saw it clear as day, and had to fight from going over and comforting Heero.
Relena was out of surgery now, and allowed 2 visitors at a time. They let Dorothy go first by herself. Next, Quatre and Trowa, Wufei and Drix, then Heero was going to go by his self, but Quatre told Duo to go with him. Heero was in so much emotional pain he didn't even realize it was Duo, the reason he had agreed to stop following Relena around to protect her.
'Relena, I'm so sorry' He thought as he took her hand, kissed her check and left. Everyone left but Heero came back every day during visiting hours for the next week while she was in intensive care.
On the 8th day, Relenas status was better, but she was still in a coma. By the 14th day, she was in and out of consciousness. But on the 19th day, she woke up.
19days after the shooting
Heero was sitting beside her bed, asleep finally when she woke up.
'Where am I?' she looks around 'A hospital' She looks to her side and sees Heero slouched down in his chair, 'hm, he's not so perfect, look at him slouch.' Then all at once everything came back and she said
"Heero, Heero, wake up" softly, having not spoke in weeks. "Heero"
Heero slowly woke up to Relena sitting up, fully conscious and aware. He jumped up and hugged her, kissed her check.
"Oh, thank god, I didn't know if you were ever going to get better"
"Oh, Heero, your squishing me"
"Sorry 'Lena" Heero released her.
A nurse comes in asking what is all the commotion and sees Relena is up and rushes to get the doctor.
"Lena, I have to go call the others, I'm going to go get Dorothy, she will be in no state to drive herself. Just don't go stepping in front of any bullets while I'm gone, okay."
"okay Heero" She laughs.
Heero rushes out side where Quatre is in the cockpit of Sandrock. Heero was still obsessed with assassins and with Relena sick in a hospital, he was fearful of an attack. So they took turns standing guard of the Hospital.
"Quatre"
"What's wrong? Is 'Lena ok?"
"She's awake Quatre, awake, you have to call everyone for me please, and I have to go get Dorothy. I wouldn't bother but Relena wants her I know. So bye"
Heero took off towards the warehouse 2 blocks away where they were storing the Gundams at the time. The pilots were going to send them to the sun but in the end deiced it was best to keep them around. He took Wing Zero to go get Dorothy. Might as well scare the shit out of her; tell her she's dead. Hell, have some fun, celebrate; Relena is going to be okay. Oh he wouldn't do that, Relena would have a fit, and she just woke up so he's going to be nice.
"Dorothy, get your ass out here now" Heero said. She came running out to see what was going on.
"What do you want Heero Huy?" She yelled. He opened the cockpit door.
"She woke up, let's go" Dorothy climbed in and they went back to the hospital. By the time they got back everyone was there.
"So Heero, were did the bullet end up hitting, you left that out" the old man interrupted.
"A fourth of an inch to the right and it would have hit her heart."
"Ok, continue"
The 23day
That morning the doctor said Relena could be moved to home, if she promised to take it easy the next day. The doctor said he needed to speak with Relena about something alone. And asked everyone to leave the room. They all went to the café across the street. Out side, Heero had just changed watch with Drixel. Much to Wufei's displeasure. Time seemed to be good, everything carefree again, the watch relaxed.
One of many episodes between Wufei and Drix.
"You will not risk your life anymore, I'll take your watch"
"No, I don't think so Honey, I'll take my own watch, besides, there is no risk, the wars over."
"Don't be so sure"
"Don't be paranoid like Heero"
"I will take your watch, there is no need for you ever to fight again. You just sit here with the other girls and talk and be safe."
"Excuse me, you will not tell me what to do." Wufei starts to stand up and draw his sword. "You draw that damn sword on me and you aren't getting any." She'd squint her eyes evilly and smile.
"Fine, give me a kiss and go" He mumbles something about injustice withholding "it" End episode.
Drixel was just getting into her gundam as Heero had put away his and was walking back to the hospital when there was an enormous blast. (Remember, the watch was relaxed) A mobile suite had just blown the wing Relena was in to pieces. Drixel took off in DarkBeauty(Her gundam) after the mobile Doll. Heero was in Wing Zero next and took off after Drix and the suit.
"There's no way she survived that. No way, I'm going to kill him. IM GOING TO KILL YOU ZECHS." He caught up with them in no time, and was firing at the Doll along with Drixel firing at it. But Zechs had sent his best because they couldn't hit the suit.
"I've never seen a Doll like this before, it's faster then our Gundams."
"Drix, I know, just concentrate on getting it" ' what the hell is happening, why can't I hit it. It looks like a normal doll, but its superior to a gundam.
Out of nowhere there was a second one behind Heero.
"Heero, behind you" He spun around and blasted the doll into billions of pieces. But another Doll landed a hit, taking off his right leg and another knocking out his cameras, making Heero hit his head and bust open. He opens the pit door. Wing Zero falls as something caught his eye and he turned to see 3 more dolls appear, all around Drix, attaching to the Gundam, they've forced the cockpit open and are being very careful not to harm her. The one that blasted the hospital opens and inside he catches a glimpse of Zechs before Drix is pulled in and they take off, all before him, as he lay helpless and bleeding slowly slipping out of consciousness.
"Dou, what are you doing here?"
"I just couldn't stop thinking about you."
"But you don't know me"
"Oh, but I do, I saw you at the ball watching me, I saw you start to come talk to me, I saw you at the hospital, even went with you to see Relena. We knew each other years ago. Remember"
Heero is 6 years old on L1colony. "Dr. J, I want someone to play with." "A soldier does not "Play" a soldier trains. But I will give you an assignment, you might like. You must befriend this boy, get close to him, make him tell you his secrets, learn everything about him, then destroy him."
"Why? Why would I destroy a friend? Dr. J why"
"So you will know why a soldier doesn't have friends, they just get in the way. No, Dou Maxwell is on L2 colony.
"Do you remember Heero, do you remember the little boy you couldn't kill"
"I remember, that cost me 6months in the hole. A padded room in a bigger room, all lights were blocked out. No human contact. They shut the door to the bigger room to give me my food once ever 2 days. I remember that all to well now. I had blocked it out. But don't worry Dr. J, I'll kill Duo now, I will." Heero was talking in his sleep now. "I will not go back to the hole. I'll kill him."
"Heero" "Heero, wake up, it's a nightmare, Heero, wake up"
"Quatre, were is Duo? He was just here."
Quatre have a puzzled look, "Heero, Duo is back in America. Come on, Relena is hurt again, it's real bad."
"She survived" Heero asked stunned. He bandaged his head and got up.
"Barely, she is back in critical care burn unit. In the part of the hospital that is okay. A lot of people died. She's lucky."
"Were is Drixle?" Heero explained to Wufei what happened. He tried to kill Heero but Trowa stopped him.
"It wasn't his fault."
"Fine" Wufei huffed "but I will kill someone if I don't get her back soon."
Relena lay in intensive care burn unit for the next 2 weeks. But in the end she lost the battle. A painfully slow one of life and death.
"The next days consisted of planning and attending Relena's funeral. Then Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei brought me to the summerhouse. And I finally entered the code and that brought me to you. So, Old man, that's what I know, what do you know, I want to hear it all." He was seriously ready to kill the old man for making him relive the past like that so much. It was all still very painful. **** **** Please review!!! Old man talks in the next chappie about what he knows. Don't know when it will be posted though. Within a week or 2. I don't have the Internet so I have to post at my grandmas house. : ( my mother got mad and shut it off. Well review or flame what ever you want to do, I'll answer any questions I can.
