Author's Note: Hey you guys this idea came to me and I thought hey why not give it a shot? The pairing I have not decided yet. You probably won't know what I intend for it until Chapter 3 or 4. So don't jump to conclusions just yet on the pairing! Thank you!
Also I want to say thank you for the few reviews I got on the first chapter! Hehe. I felt loved.
I also want to tell people in advance that this fic may be going in a direction that is very. Dark and angst and all? But yea.. It is something that came to me and it is going to be a lot different than my other fic "Wedding Preparations".
Speaking of that fic. I know most of you have read it so far and want the next chapter. But I'm putting it on hold for now since me and Josh are STILL writing out the next installment not mention fighting over what the pairing should be in the end.. Oh well, I think we've come to an agreement so check for that later! ^_^
ANYWAYZ. Here is the next chapter of "Whispering Secrets"
Enjoy!
Whispering Secrets
Chapter 2
By: WhiteRoze
Relena looked away from him and up over to Hilde in the driver's seat. Seeing her face up in her mirror in front of her, she winked at Relena and she just glared back at her. Hilde smirked and started the car up heading to Mariemaia's school.
The girl with short reddish locks of hair and clear blue eyes skipped over to the car and smiled to them all, "Hiya guys!" All the girls smiled to the little girl in her uniform and said "Hi" to her.
"Umm.. You guys.. Don't you think the car is full?" she asked sweetly looking in the back to see the Relena on some blonde's lap. Giggling softly she commented on their position, "Hey Aunt Lena! Who's your new boyfriend?"
Relena's eyes widen and so did Quatre's. All of the other girls laughed and Sally opened her passenger door and pulled the girl in the car to sit in the middle of her and Hilde, all the while laughing at the little girls curiosity. Mariemaia blinked a few times wondering why everyone was laughing and why Relena looked like she was about to explode.
"Umm.. Aunt Lena? He's not your boyfriend?" she asked sweetly.
Relena closed her eyes and shook her head furiously; "No he's not! He is Dorothy's cousin." Her tone was very aggravated and seemed very stressed.
Quatre looked up to the blonde in his lap to see her eyes still closed and then to the little girl looking back at them. He smiled to her and waved. "I'm Quatre Raberba Winner."
Mariemaia's smile grew more and she waved back at him, "I'm Mariemaia Barton. Nice to meet you Mr. Winner."
Quatre smiled more at the politeness and sweetness of the little girl. "Just call me Quatre okay Miss Mariemaia?"
She nodded some, "Only if you can just call me Mariemaia!" He nodded to her. "Alright then Mariemaia." The other girls all smiled at the little introductions of the two. Mariemaia was like their little sister and she was so adorable and sweet. Not to mention very smart for her age.
Quatre's gaze then turned to Relena. Noticing that she was still a bit upset and her eyes still closed. He smiled slightly seeing that she was very embarrassed at the previous situation with Mariemaia's question.
Before everyone knew it Hilde had rolled up into Dorothy's driveway. They all got out of the car hurriedly, especially Relena. 'Got to get out of here. Got to get Dorothy. Got to kill her for this.' She stepped out of the car and everyone followed each chatting about different things.
Relena was the first one up at the door knocking. Quatre came up behind her and smiled looking down at her. She blinked a few times and looked away. Hilde came up beside Relena and the other girls behind them.
Soon the door opened with Dorothy in some black baggy jeans and a white tank top. She looked at them curiously as Mariemaia came up and hugged her. "Aunt Dorothy!"
She smiled looking down at the little girl hugging her, "Hi Mariemaia." Looking up she saw the girls and nodded, "Hey girls!" Her eyes then moved to see her cousin Quatre. "Hello Quatre, sorry that I wasn't there on your first day to show you around. I was.. Kinda sick."
Quatre smiled and shook his head, "No it is alright Doro-" He was cut off by someone else's voice.
"Dorothy next time you want me to show your cousin around ask!" Relena yelled at her friend, Dorothy blinking in surprise. All the other girls looked at her yelling as well as Quatre.
Quatre thought to himself, 'Was she that angry to take me around today? She didn't seem too mad about it earlier.'
"You know Rellie I didn't think you would be this upset over this," said Dorothy. Relena blinked a few times and rolled her eyes, shaking her head.
"Oh so you DID want ME to show him around, not any of the other girls? And I'm not that upset.It's not that.. I'm just upset that you didn't give me warning about showing Quatre around. I wouldn't have mind so much if I knew in advance!" she yelled at her friend and sighed.
Dorothy smirked and looked to Quatre giving him a wink. "Well I'll let you know things in advance next time girl. I mean we all know how you like to plan things."
All the girls laughed some and went into the house. Quatre sighed and headed upstairs to his room. Mariemaia followed him and walked down the hallway.
"Umm.. Mariemaia.. Where are you going?" Quatre asked softly before walking into his room, noticing the little girl walk into another room two doors down from him. A few minutes later she came out in an orange tank top and a pair of khakis.
She smiled some and looked up at him, "It's my room.. Didn't you know I live here?"
He shook his head some as he looked down at her. "No.. I didn't.. I'm very sorry."
He turned and set his books down beside his desk and moved over back towards the door to look at her. She shrugged, "It's okay! Really!"
"Umm. Quatre. I'm sorry I embarrassed you and Aunt Lena. I just thought you two looked cute together and all.. Heh.." she said sweetly.
He shook his head and smiled, "It's okay Mariemaia.. Let's head down to the others okay?" she nodded to them and they headed downstairs to the group of girls.
The girls gathered around the living room, Dorothy still standing as well as Hilde and Midii. Cathy and Sally were sitting in two chairs near them and Relena was left to sit on the couch. Her arms crossing over one another she sighed.
Dorothy smirked and looked to all of them, "So how was my cousin's first day? Anything good happen?" Sally laughed some and nodded. "Oh yea.. I think he had an interesting day wouldn't you say so Midii?"
She nodded some, "Yea.. He was cool.. He fit in well with us.. Well except for his clothes.. His politeness and adorable face!" They all laughed some while Dorothy and Relena just rolled their eyes.
"Do you think he had a good day Rel?" Dorothy asked. She just shrugged, "Why would I know that Dory? I don't keep tabs on people.."
"Oh well.. I just thought since you were with him all day.." She said trailing off and Relena shot up from slouching in the couch with widen eyes and looked to Dorothy.
"Dorothy. You had something to do with his schedule didn't you." she stated not really a question but more as a statement. Dorothy smirked and held her hands up.
"Maybe. But you both are on the same level in education. So I just prompted him to take some classes that are like yours. And plus you can look after him." Dorothy said fast and Relena's eyes grew bigger.
"Me? Look after him? He's your cousin!"
"Lena.. Please? I hardly go to school and you know the people better there.. So you know what to watch out for." Dorothy pleaded putting on her sad face. Relena sighed and rolled her eyes, "Fine. Though I will talk to you later about some things."
A few moments later they were joined with smiling Quatre and Mariemaia. The girls smiled to them as they walked in and Mariemaia came over to sit by Relena on the couch, pulling Quatre along with her.
"Are you guys gonna go to that concert tonight?" Mariemaia asked looking around at all of them. All of the girls blinked a few times a bit confused.
"What concert Marie?" Dorothy asked sweetly.
"That Fallout thing you guys were talking about. You said you all were going and that it was today. It started like three hours ago." She said.
"Oh shit! We gotta go!" Dorothy yelled and ran in to the kitchen to grab her keys and black leather jacket. All of the girls scurried around the room picking up their things and racing upstairs to put them in Dorothy's room.
Quatre blinked in confusion, 'It's gonna take time to get used to things here.' Shaking his head he got up from his place on the couch and walked over to the door where Dorothy was waiting for the girls coming down the stairs.
Dorothy turned to him, "How was your day Quatre?"
He smiled softly, "It was rather interesting to say the least.", he said softly as his head turned to look at the girl racing down the stairs towards him and his cousin.
"Well that's good. Things will ALWAYS be interesting when you're with us. Oh yea we'll talk more about your day later." Dorothy said with a grin. Her attention then looked at her friends and smiled some.
"Alright Dorothy open the door already! We are like three hours late!" Sally yelled as softly as possible. The other girls nodded and said, "yea, move it!". Quatre laughed lightly in his mind, and his lips were spread into another flashing smile.
Dorothy waited a few more moments and opened the door to let all the girls' race out of the house and to Hilde's and Dorothy's cars. It seemed that they talked it out and decided who would go with whom. Sally, Midii, and Cathy piled into Hilde's car with Relena walking over to the passenger side of Dorothy's car.
Dorothy grinned evilly and linked her arm with Quatre's and dragged him out to her car. Quatre blinked a few times, "What are you doing Dorothy?!"
"You're coming with us my dear cousin!" Dorothy exclaimed as she finally got him to the car. Quatre shook his head and turned around to go back up at the house, "I'm sorry Dorothy but I've got work to do."
"Oh no you don't! You are NOT making school an excuse, you got it bub? You are going with us." She stated and pulled him back towards the car. Dorothy then yelled and waved to Mariemaia telling her to "lock the door" and that her father should be home soon to look after her so she should have no trouble.
Quatre sighed and looked to Relena who was still leaning against the car right beside them, not paying them any attention, like they weren't even there. Dorothy then looked to Relena and smirked, "Rellie do me a favor.."
There was just silence and Dorothy continued, "Help me get him in the car somehow.."
Relena still looked straightforward not even blinking and spoke in a monotone voice, "Dorothy I won't help you. He's already said he has schoolwork to tend to. Plus the fact that he just got here he is behind and it will take some time to catch him up. Meaning it will take up my time since I was requested by every teacher today to help him get caught up with the class."
"When you put it that way it sounds kinda bad.. Like you don't want to help my cousin for some unknown reason." Dorothy said softly and turned to Quatre once more still holding on to his arm so he won't leave.
Though Relena turned her whole body to them and she narrowed her eyes, "Look I never said I have a problem with it I just think if he has time to catch up on work then he should take it."
Dorothy blinked and so did Quatre. He looked at her and sighed, 'Why is she always so defensive with everything?' he asked himself. Quatre looked at Dorothy and noticed her lips moving once more talking aloud and finally heard his name, "Wha?"
Dorothy playfully punched his shoulder, "Oh don't you pay attention?! Jeez. You know it doesn't take you that long to catch up on anything. You're the smart one in our family."
Quatre smiled and shook his head, "Well.No, but-"
"But nothing! You are coming with us, that's that. Besides it is one night, it won't kill you!" Dorothy said and went around the other side of the car and opened the back seat door. Literally pushing him into the back seat and closing it, she opened her own and got in.
Relena shook her head and smirked. Dorothy almost always gets her way. A big ALMOST. Relena opened the passenger door and got in only to have Dorothy glaring at her. "What did I do?"
Dorothy rolled her eyes and pointed to the back, as if telling her to sit back there or die. Relena at this point would die but she wanted to go to the concert and it was no use in arguing because it would always come up with as a draw. "I'm picking up Greg so sit back there please."
Relena took a deep breath and moved into the back sitting by Quatre. He offered a smile and Relena just looked like a little curious puppy. Tilting her head to the side as if wondering why he was smiling at her. Shaking her head and turning slightly so she looked out the window now, she waited as Dorothy started up the car to go pick up Greg.
Dorothy yelled out the window to the girls in Hilde's car, "I'm picking up Greg we'll meet you there!"
"Good luck in finding us when you get there! You know how it is like!" Sally yelled back at her.
Dorothy nodded and they headed to pick up Greg. On the way she called him on her cell phone. Obviously he had forgotten too and hurried to get ready. When they drove up to his house he came running out. His long black ponytail and his soft yet cold ice blue eyes looked to everyone and then he smiled.
Getting into the front sitting by Dorothy he leaned over to kiss her cheek and she smiled softly back at him and kissed him back. Relena rolled her eyes and smiled at the two lovebirds. It was obvious they were always gonna be together. They had been together for a few weeks, and most likely they will be together till the day they die.
Quatre seemed to notice that they were close as well and had somewhat of a smile on his face. He turned his head to look at Relena once more and then looked out the window. His attention was then brought back to Greg speaking, "So you're Quatre right?"
He nodded and smiled, "Yes I am. I take it you are the one and only Greg."
Greg smirked and then looked to Relena, "So Rel, you and Quatre here dating yet?"
Her eyes widen and blinked a few times. 'What is it with people thinking that Quatre and me are a couple or something?! Jeez, I mean. Yea he is nice, and sweet, and adorably cute.Did I just think that? Oh god. Help me.' She finally found her voice and was about to speak but Quatre had already gotten to it before her.
"Actually Greg we're not dating. Though it seems that a lot of people think we are for some reason.", he said softly and smiled sweetly to Relena and then looked to Greg.
Greg just formed an "o" around his mouth and nodded. "I see. Well sorry for the misunderstanding." He then looked to his girlfriend and she just smirked and gave him a wink.
Little conversation was held, and it was mostly explaining about the night's events. They were all heading to the local park where there would be a concert held to everyone that bought a ticket to the event either before that day or at the gate. There they would listen to the rock bands and just have fun.
They explained a lot of things to Quatre at what may happen there. Like the crowd surfing, the mosh pits, the drinking, and maybe even the drugs there.
When they got there they parked the car on the side of the street and walked over to the concert. The bands could be heard from where they were and Quatre saw Relena's smile grew more and more as they got closer.
Guards checked their tickets and their bags as they went in. Greg had grabbed Dorothy's hand as they walked together in front of Relena and Quatre. The two smiled at the couple and saw a few of the girls come over.
"Hey you guys finally got here!", Hilde yelled over the music to Three Days Grace.
Relena nodded, "I know that! But let's go and have fun!"
Sally and Midii grinned and linked their arms with Quatre's. He looked to both of them and heard Midii talking to up to him. "We are going to be your guides so you won't get lost! Okay?!"
He nodded some, "Yea but aren't we all going to be together?"
Sally shook her head, "Nope. Dorothy is going to be with Greg of course.. Cathy is with her brother. And Hilde and Relena always go off on their own and find a way back to the house eventually."
"Why is that?" he asked looking to both of the girls and they both blinked a few times and stuttered to say something. Finally Midii spoke up, "Well they have friends here too and they get rides home. They'll be fine."
Quatre looked in Midii's eyes and could tell that she wasn't telling the whole truth about this. His sea orbs gazed back over to Relena and Hilde. They were already moving down further to the large crowd by the stage. Maybe if he could catch up with them.
As he went to walk he realized that Sally and Midii were still latched on to him and sighed. 'Oh well, I could always find them later.' Though that thought had become less as more people filed into the park and were pushing the three towards the booths.
'Err.. Maybe not.. I wonder if Dorothy could clue me in.. Wait.. Where is she?' He looked around to see if he saw his cousin's long creamy blonde hair, but that was a failed attempt. There were just too many people around.
Sally and Midii started jumping up and down and it urged Quatre to do so as well. The music was loud even from back at the different booths. Sally then looked up at Quatre, "Hey you want to go down in the front and all?"
Quatre had really no other choice and nodded heading forward down to the stage with the two girls latched on his arms. Each jumping up and down to the music. Bumping a few people here and there they soon made it down to the edge of the people. It would take a lot of work to get ALL the way up to the front. And Quatre soon decided that it would be much better if he jumped with the girls, lord was it going to be a long night for him.
When Relena saw Hilde she ran over to her immediately grabbing her hand and heading down to the stage. Hilde blinked curiously and looked at her, "Umm. Lena aren't we gonna wait for the others?"
Relena stopped seeing as how Hilde did so and glanced back up a few feet where Dorothy and Greg had departed from the group and seeing Sally and Midii walk up to Quatre. "No, they'll be fine. Besides we don't always hang out with them here anyway."
Hilde nodded some and began walking again with Relena beside her. Hearing the music getting louder with each step they smiled and started jumping and bouncing their heads to the music.
"Hil! Let's get those guys to take us up!", Relena yelled to her friend pointing to a group of guys near them. Hilde smirked and nod, heading over to the guys.
"Hi boys do you mind if you take us up in the air?" Hilde ask in a girlish sweet voice that was not at all like her. Relena was disgusted with it but just smiled to the guys as well.
"Sure let's get y'all up there." A blonde said and Hilde held out her arms to the guys, lifting her up in the air and throwing her into the crowd. "Weeeeeeee!"
Hilde landed on some other people who lifted her up and she headed towards the stage faster and easier it seemed. Relena smiled and looked back to the guys, "Guess it is my turn?"
The guys nodded and she walked closer to them as they lifted her up and threw her in the air much like Hilde. Soon enough she came up beside her friend and they grabbed each other's hands. "Hilde this rocks!"
"Of course I mean it is CROWD SURFING!" Hilde yelled back at her and she smiled a cheesy smile. Though Relena lost grip of Hilde's hand and was pulled down to the ground by an arm around her waist.
Hilde looked around and tried to get down from her "surfing" but the crowd moved her away from where her friend was dragged down. She scanned the crowd more and she soon was dropped on the ground and getting stepped on by the jumping people.
'This is one thing I hate about this concert. You can get hurt by jumping feet!' she soon got up and tried moving her way back up into the crowd but she was just pushed back to the outer edges and bumped into some people. Namely Sally, Midii, and Quatre.
"Oomph.." she said crashing into Midii and tried to balance herself. Finally doing so she stood up straight and pretended to dust herself off and looked up at them. "Whoops. Sorry guys.. How is everything?"
Midii shook her head and smiled, "Great you?"
"Eh.. Was great till I got split up from Lena. But she'll be fine we always meet each other after every crowd surfing over by where you buy the beers and all." she said raising her voice just a little so they could hear them.
Quatre blinked a few times and raised a brow, "Why meet over there? I mean you guys don't drink.. Do you?"
Hilde narrowed her eyes and then smiled politely and lied, big-time, "No we don't, we just meet over there because it is the closest," she pointed the stand near the stage and it was in fact a beer stand. "See?"
Quatre looked to where she pointed at and then back at her face and nodded slowly, "Yes.. I see.", he said not really believing her but said nothing more about it.
Sighing deeply Hilde heard the last verse of the song and waited patiently for Relena to merge from the crowd. Folding her arms over one another she looked to the others and then back at the crowd tapping her foot.
'I guess this is why Relena has been weird today. She feels he knows something, somehow. Which I have the same feeling but." she thought and looked to Quatre, his lips formed a smile on his face as he looked to the stage bobbing his head a little bit. 'I don't find it that threatening. Hmm.'
Quatre then turned his attention to Hilde and blinked a few times. 'It seems her and Relena are very observant of everything.' Hilde quickly looked away and heard the words of the next song come on.
Relena felt someone's arm around her waist and pulled her down from on top of the crowd. 'Damn it. They're already drunk, sheet.' The person still held on to her waist and she tried to move away from his hold but couldn't.
He was strong. Her eyes glanced down to see his arm and hand. Then she slowly turned her head to look up and see who grabbed her. Her eyes widen as she came face to face with Heero Yuy.
She gasped a little and looked up into his fiery Prussian blue eyes. Blinking a few times, many things passed through her mind within that second. 'Why is he here? Why did he pull me down? Why-?
The people still jumping up and down, and pushing each other after the last chords of the song soon interrupted her thought. She fell against Heero, grabbing a hold of him for balance she looked up slowly.
He only looked back at her and a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes. Relena shook her head and kept her gaze on him. Hoping no emotion showed through her eyes, hoping that her eyes can be like his for once.
Another song started to play and Relena recognized and closed her eyes. It was 3 Doors Down "I'm Here Without You". Her head tipped slightly and she rested her forehead against Heero's chest.
The first verse was sung and Relena took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. She couldn't show him her emotions. Not now, not ever!
A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face
Heero moved his hand through her hair, which sent Relena into a shock and opened her eyes, though her forehead still resting against his chest. His hand then came up to raise her head slightly so he could see her face, her eyes.
He cupped her face, rubbing his thumb over her cheek. She blinked, confused at his actions. Shaking her head, 'No. Don't make me believe. Don't. Stop torturing me.'
The chorus was then sung and Relena couldn't help but tear up a bit. She then closed her eyes and let a single tear roll down her pale face. Heero closed his eyes and wiped away the fallen tear and kissed her forehead. "Believe in me. Please."
I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rolling as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is over rated but I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
Relena opened her eyes and looked up to him. His walls were broken for now and she saw an emotion of concern in his eyes. Why did he have to show up here? Why give her false hope? No.. She wouldn't take this anymore. She can't. It hurt too much.
But then Heero pulled her into a warm embrace and started to sing the last chorus of the song. His voice lulling her to rest her head on his shoulder, her arms still at her sides.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
After the song finished he looked down from her and backed away from her, sending a look then walked off into the crowd. Most likely searching for his friends. Relena stood there still in shock.
A new song came on that she really didn't bother to pay attention to. Getting pushed and what not she wriggled herself through the crowd to get to the beer stand where she usually met Hilde.
Sure enough there was Hilde standing up against the stand talking to this guy she must have just met, Sally, Midii, and. Quatre. 'Damn.' she thought and started to think about turning away until she heard Midii yell her name, "Relena!"
Sighing Relena turned herself back around and walked over to them. Hilde looked at her friend and saw that she had been crying over something. She blinked a few times and looked to Relena to see if she would give any clues or hints on the matter. But she received none.
Quatre himself was relieved yet worried at this. 'Of course she is here and it was good, though she seems more depressed than before. Why is it that she is like this?' He kept asking questions that he didn't know the answers to, and looked at her.
Her eyes held little to no emotion what so ever. Though you could see a bit of regret and sadness with in a blink of an eye. Comes just as fast as it goes.
Relena looked away from him and to Hilde, "So are you getting Adam to hook us up with everything later?"
Hilde nodded some and everyone else just raised a brow at them. What did she mean 'everything'? Hmm. Sally and Midii looked at Quatre hoping he would forget about it and just leave it be.
"So I guess we'll see you at the house later tonight?" Sally asked looking to both of her friends. When they both nodded she turned around as did Midii.
Quatre stayed where he was, still staring at Relena, wondering what had happened in that crowd surf during that song. He then was dragged by the other two girls and looked back to Relena and Hilde. Something was going to happen. He could feel it and he could tell by the look in their eyes.
He sighed and just shrugged it off hoping his "feelings" about things wouldn't be right. He just held this ability to be able to tell if something bad or good was about to happen. More bad than good. Which isn't anything pleasant.
He nodded to the girls and smiled, "We'll see you later I guess."
"Yea.. Okay, see ya later!" Hilde said smiling and then turning to Relena looking at her for a moment. Relena had nodded a goodbye to Quatre and then looked back at her friend.
She knew what was coming. Like always Hilde would say she's been crying, she would deny it and so forth. Sighing a bit she just mize well skip the argument, as much as she would love to argue she decided against it. She just wanted to try and enjoy the rest of the night.
"Yes I have been crying Hilde." Relena said softly and closed her eyes looking away from her friend. Regaining her composure she looked back up at her friend and smiled sweetly, "I'm okay now though."
"Alright then." Hilde knew better, she knew her friend must still be hurting over something. She could tell, she wanted her to talk to herself. Just like she had finally opened herself up to her, but all attempts had failed. She only opened up once that one night, though that was a few months ago and she became like a zombie after that.
"So when is Adam getting here?" Relena asked trying to find out if she would be able to have 'fun' tonight. Hilde smirked and turned her head to the side. As she did she saw two guys walking out of the crowd and towards them.
"Right now." Hilde said and went over to hug Adam. Relena smiled some. She knew how much her friend cared for him. Hilde and Adam had finally gotten together after almost a year of being friends. They were a great pair and had fun together.
Relena was happy that her friend was able to find happiness finally. Especially after what she had been through. Adam was Hilde's strength for now. And she hoped he wouldn't hurt her like David did. Lord knows that Relena would castrate him if he did.
Relena mused at the thought and nodded to Adam. He was much taller than her and Hilde, most likely about six-feet tall. Somewhat of the white skater boy. His dark brown hair spiked up, with a rugged go-tee and mustache. He was dressed in his usual black baggy, very baggy, cargo pants and a black skateboard T-shirt.
After the little hug between her friends Adam looked over to her, "Hey Lena!" She smiled softly to him, "Hello Adam." He did a little grin and looked around as if paranoid of something and then took out a pack of cigarettes and some money.
"Hey catch Lena!" Adam yelled and threw the pack over to her, she caught them and raised a brow, "Are they laced?" He simply nodded and walked over to the beer stand ordering three beers. Coming back over he handed one to Hilde and Lena.
Lena had already lit up as did Hilde. They slowly inhaled and breathed deeply, finally opening their mouths to let out some smoke. Both of the girls smiled and took a swig of their drinks.
"Let's go up to the front!" Relena yelled and hurried over to the massive crowd. Hilde blinked a few times and linked arms with Adam, them following the blonde.
Another band had come to play on the stage at this time known as, Simple Plan. They started to play one of their hit singles called "I'd Do Anything" Relena started to jump up and down hitting her laced cigarette and drinking her beer.
'Yes this I like. I can forget everything. All the pain and hurt. Heero. The girls. And that damn guy Quatre.' Why had he been so concern anyway? What all did Dorothy tell him? He is too kind. To sweet. I can't be his friend at all. Just an acquaintance that's all.
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
'Damn it! Why is some song always in reference to something in my life?! Oh screw it I'm just. This too much.' Relena thought and finished both her drink and smoke. Trying to move through the crowd to get out. There was just too much going on.. The whole thing with Heero and then Dorothy's cousin.
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
'Gah! I'm not waiting. Never. I can't do it.. This is just not fair..' The song was getting to her more than she thought it would and by now there were tears streaming down her face. Bumping into countless number of people she ran into someone.
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana
And I'd do anything for you
"Miss Relena? I mean..Relena? Are you alright?" asked a concerned voice. It was soft and warm. Relena looked up slowly her vision blurring slightly, 'Damn, Adam put way too much in that last one. The alcohol isn't helping..'
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
Quatre just looked down at her, his arms holding her up. His sea green orbs looked into her cold ice blue ones searching for a clue of something. She was crying and obviously not in the right state of mind. He tried asking her once more hoping she would talk to him, "Mi-Relena. What's wrong?"
Relena shook her head and closed her eyes. She had been staring into his own much like when she did with Heero. 'No not again. I don't want this.'
She was dizzy and couldn't stop crying but she tried to gain control over herself and spoke softly so that he could hear her, "I'm fine. I just have something in my eye."
She lied to him and once she looked up at him she knew that he knew it was a lie. Sighing softly, Quatre began moving her to the restroom area and guided her in, not really caring who was in there or not. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and ran it under cold water and handed it to her, his other hand still held onto her to make sure she didn't fall.
Relena murmured a 'thanks' and put the damp cloth over her face. "Mmm." That felt good. Nice, cold and soft. She smiled slightly and then it faded as she took the cloth off her eyes and looked to who was holding her.
"Q-Quatre.I." she was stuttering, why was she stuttering? She had better control. Yes, of course she did. Though in her current state, she can't really hide most of her emotions.
Quatre shook his head and hushed her. He took the cloth from her hands and took her face in his hands. Moving the cloth over her forehead and eyes, then her cheeks and so forth, "You shouldn't talk right now. I'm assuming you are not in the state of mind of rationality so... Let me help."
Relena blinked a few times, "Help?" Help her? What the hell could he do? He doesn't know anything. About anything here, nothing. He is totally clueless to this place and he says he wants to help? Gah, men always do a 180 on you at times.
Quatre smiled softly and nodded, "Yes, help you.." He then washed out his handkerchief and ringed it out, folding it over and handed it to her. "Put this on your head."
Relena was about to protest but decided against it, she had a headache right now. The music wasn't really helping and she winced to the loudness of it all. Quatre noticed this and spoke softly to her, "I'll take you home or back to the house. You don't need to be here with this music."
She tilted her head slightly and thank god he really didn't notice that she was a bit.Him high? Drunk? "As well as getting you away from the alcohol and drugs.. I assume you had some, didn't you? That's why your pupils are dilated, you're a bit dizzy and tipsy and have a major headache?"
Damn. Thought too soon. Well he certainly was smart but, "How would you know if I was drinking and smoking?"
Quatre's smile faded and just gave a knowing look and Relena was powerless to object, "Fine, fine." He simply linked arms with her and helped guided her way out of the restroom and back out to the park.
Why was she letting him help her anyway? She would be better off if he hadn't butted in. 'So why can't I just tell him to back off like everyone else?' Another bang in her head went off as she heard more and more of the music. Her hand flew up to her temple and she groaned. "Damn it."
Quatre looked down at her and held her firmly and closely to him. Praying that she would be all right for the time being. He saw Sally and Midii coming back from the concession stands and greeted them, "Hello ladies. It seems Relena isn't feeling all too well and I was going to take her home.."
Sally and Midii looked to Relena and sighed. They nodded solemnly and hugged Relena softly whispering in her ears. "Relena he's sweet. Open up to him at least.", Sally said softly.
"He's fond of you. Please don't do anything rash." Midii whispered in her other ear. Relena just looked at them as if they were crazy.

Whispering Secrets
Chapter 2
By: WhiteRoze
Relena looked away from him and up over to Hilde in the driver's seat. Seeing her face up in her mirror in front of her, she winked at Relena and she just glared back at her. Hilde smirked and started the car up heading to Mariemaia's school.
The girl with short reddish locks of hair and clear blue eyes skipped over to the car and smiled to them all, "Hiya guys!" All the girls smiled to the little girl in her uniform and said "Hi" to her.
"Umm.. You guys.. Don't you think the car is full?" she asked sweetly looking in the back to see the Relena on some blonde's lap. Giggling softly she commented on their position, "Hey Aunt Lena! Who's your new boyfriend?"
Relena's eyes widen and so did Quatre's. All of the other girls laughed and Sally opened her passenger door and pulled the girl in the car to sit in the middle of her and Hilde, all the while laughing at the little girls curiosity. Mariemaia blinked a few times wondering why everyone was laughing and why Relena looked like she was about to explode.
"Umm.. Aunt Lena? He's not your boyfriend?" she asked sweetly.
Relena closed her eyes and shook her head furiously; "No he's not! He is Dorothy's cousin." Her tone was very aggravated and seemed very stressed.
Quatre looked up to the blonde in his lap to see her eyes still closed and then to the little girl looking back at them. He smiled to her and waved. "I'm Quatre Raberba Winner."
Mariemaia's smile grew more and she waved back at him, "I'm Mariemaia Barton. Nice to meet you Mr. Winner."
Quatre smiled more at the politeness and sweetness of the little girl. "Just call me Quatre okay Miss Mariemaia?"
She nodded some, "Only if you can just call me Mariemaia!" He nodded to her. "Alright then Mariemaia." The other girls all smiled at the little introductions of the two. Mariemaia was like their little sister and she was so adorable and sweet. Not to mention very smart for her age.
Quatre's gaze then turned to Relena. Noticing that she was still a bit upset and her eyes still closed. He smiled slightly seeing that she was very embarrassed at the previous situation with Mariemaia's question.
Before everyone knew it Hilde had rolled up into Dorothy's driveway. They all got out of the car hurriedly, especially Relena. 'Got to get out of here. Got to get Dorothy. Got to kill her for this.' She stepped out of the car and everyone followed each chatting about different things.
Relena was the first one up at the door knocking. Quatre came up behind her and smiled looking down at her. She blinked a few times and looked away. Hilde came up beside Relena and the other girls behind them.
Soon the door opened with Dorothy in some black baggy jeans and a white tank top. She looked at them curiously as Mariemaia came up and hugged her. "Aunt Dorothy!"
She smiled looking down at the little girl hugging her, "Hi Mariemaia." Looking up she saw the girls and nodded, "Hey girls!" Her eyes then moved to see her cousin Quatre. "Hello Quatre, sorry that I wasn't there on your first day to show you around. I was.. Kinda sick."
Quatre smiled and shook his head, "No it is alright Doro-" He was cut off by someone else's voice.
"Dorothy next time you want me to show your cousin around ask!" Relena yelled at her friend, Dorothy blinking in surprise. All the other girls looked at her yelling as well as Quatre.
Quatre thought to himself, 'Was she that angry to take me around today? She didn't seem too mad about it earlier.'
"You know Rellie I didn't think you would be this upset over this," said Dorothy. Relena blinked a few times and rolled her eyes, shaking her head.
"Oh so you DID want ME to show him around, not any of the other girls? And I'm not that upset.It's not that.. I'm just upset that you didn't give me warning about showing Quatre around. I wouldn't have mind so much if I knew in advance!" she yelled at her friend and sighed.
Dorothy smirked and looked to Quatre giving him a wink. "Well I'll let you know things in advance next time girl. I mean we all know how you like to plan things."
All the girls laughed some and went into the house. Quatre sighed and headed upstairs to his room. Mariemaia followed him and walked down the hallway.
"Umm.. Mariemaia.. Where are you going?" Quatre asked softly before walking into his room, noticing the little girl walk into another room two doors down from him. A few minutes later she came out in an orange tank top and a pair of khakis.
She smiled some and looked up at him, "It's my room.. Didn't you know I live here?"
He shook his head some as he looked down at her. "No.. I didn't.. I'm very sorry."
He turned and set his books down beside his desk and moved over back towards the door to look at her. She shrugged, "It's okay! Really!"
"Umm. Quatre. I'm sorry I embarrassed you and Aunt Lena. I just thought you two looked cute together and all.. Heh.." she said sweetly.
He shook his head and smiled, "It's okay Mariemaia.. Let's head down to the others okay?" she nodded to them and they headed downstairs to the group of girls.
The girls gathered around the living room, Dorothy still standing as well as Hilde and Midii. Cathy and Sally were sitting in two chairs near them and Relena was left to sit on the couch. Her arms crossing over one another she sighed.
Dorothy smirked and looked to all of them, "So how was my cousin's first day? Anything good happen?" Sally laughed some and nodded. "Oh yea.. I think he had an interesting day wouldn't you say so Midii?"
She nodded some, "Yea.. He was cool.. He fit in well with us.. Well except for his clothes.. His politeness and adorable face!" They all laughed some while Dorothy and Relena just rolled their eyes.
"Do you think he had a good day Rel?" Dorothy asked. She just shrugged, "Why would I know that Dory? I don't keep tabs on people.."
"Oh well.. I just thought since you were with him all day.." She said trailing off and Relena shot up from slouching in the couch with widen eyes and looked to Dorothy.
"Dorothy. You had something to do with his schedule didn't you." she stated not really a question but more as a statement. Dorothy smirked and held her hands up.
"Maybe. But you both are on the same level in education. So I just prompted him to take some classes that are like yours. And plus you can look after him." Dorothy said fast and Relena's eyes grew bigger.
"Me? Look after him? He's your cousin!"
"Lena.. Please? I hardly go to school and you know the people better there.. So you know what to watch out for." Dorothy pleaded putting on her sad face. Relena sighed and rolled her eyes, "Fine. Though I will talk to you later about some things."
A few moments later they were joined with smiling Quatre and Mariemaia. The girls smiled to them as they walked in and Mariemaia came over to sit by Relena on the couch, pulling Quatre along with her.
"Are you guys gonna go to that concert tonight?" Mariemaia asked looking around at all of them. All of the girls blinked a few times a bit confused.
"What concert Marie?" Dorothy asked sweetly.
"That Fallout thing you guys were talking about. You said you all were going and that it was today. It started like three hours ago." She said.
"Oh shit! We gotta go!" Dorothy yelled and ran in to the kitchen to grab her keys and black leather jacket. All of the girls scurried around the room picking up their things and racing upstairs to put them in Dorothy's room.
Quatre blinked in confusion, 'It's gonna take time to get used to things here.' Shaking his head he got up from his place on the couch and walked over to the door where Dorothy was waiting for the girls coming down the stairs.
Dorothy turned to him, "How was your day Quatre?"
He smiled softly, "It was rather interesting to say the least.", he said softly as his head turned to look at the girl racing down the stairs towards him and his cousin.
"Well that's good. Things will ALWAYS be interesting when you're with us. Oh yea we'll talk more about your day later." Dorothy said with a grin. Her attention then looked at her friends and smiled some.
"Alright Dorothy open the door already! We are like three hours late!" Sally yelled as softly as possible. The other girls nodded and said, "yea, move it!". Quatre laughed lightly in his mind, and his lips were spread into another flashing smile.
Dorothy waited a few more moments and opened the door to let all the girls' race out of the house and to Hilde's and Dorothy's cars. It seemed that they talked it out and decided who would go with whom. Sally, Midii, and Cathy piled into Hilde's car with Relena walking over to the passenger side of Dorothy's car.
Dorothy grinned evilly and linked her arm with Quatre's and dragged him out to her car. Quatre blinked a few times, "What are you doing Dorothy?!"
"You're coming with us my dear cousin!" Dorothy exclaimed as she finally got him to the car. Quatre shook his head and turned around to go back up at the house, "I'm sorry Dorothy but I've got work to do."
"Oh no you don't! You are NOT making school an excuse, you got it bub? You are going with us." She stated and pulled him back towards the car. Dorothy then yelled and waved to Mariemaia telling her to "lock the door" and that her father should be home soon to look after her so she should have no trouble.
Quatre sighed and looked to Relena who was still leaning against the car right beside them, not paying them any attention, like they weren't even there. Dorothy then looked to Relena and smirked, "Rellie do me a favor.."
There was just silence and Dorothy continued, "Help me get him in the car somehow.."
Relena still looked straightforward not even blinking and spoke in a monotone voice, "Dorothy I won't help you. He's already said he has schoolwork to tend to. Plus the fact that he just got here he is behind and it will take some time to catch him up. Meaning it will take up my time since I was requested by every teacher today to help him get caught up with the class."
"When you put it that way it sounds kinda bad.. Like you don't want to help my cousin for some unknown reason." Dorothy said softly and turned to Quatre once more still holding on to his arm so he won't leave.
Though Relena turned her whole body to them and she narrowed her eyes, "Look I never said I have a problem with it I just think if he has time to catch up on work then he should take it."
Dorothy blinked and so did Quatre. He looked at her and sighed, 'Why is she always so defensive with everything?' he asked himself. Quatre looked at Dorothy and noticed her lips moving once more talking aloud and finally heard his name, "Wha?"
Dorothy playfully punched his shoulder, "Oh don't you pay attention?! Jeez. You know it doesn't take you that long to catch up on anything. You're the smart one in our family."
Quatre smiled and shook his head, "Well.No, but-"
"But nothing! You are coming with us, that's that. Besides it is one night, it won't kill you!" Dorothy said and went around the other side of the car and opened the back seat door. Literally pushing him into the back seat and closing it, she opened her own and got in.
Relena shook her head and smirked. Dorothy almost always gets her way. A big ALMOST. Relena opened the passenger door and got in only to have Dorothy glaring at her. "What did I do?"
Dorothy rolled her eyes and pointed to the back, as if telling her to sit back there or die. Relena at this point would die but she wanted to go to the concert and it was no use in arguing because it would always come up with as a draw. "I'm picking up Greg so sit back there please."
Relena took a deep breath and moved into the back sitting by Quatre. He offered a smile and Relena just looked like a little curious puppy. Tilting her head to the side as if wondering why he was smiling at her. Shaking her head and turning slightly so she looked out the window now, she waited as Dorothy started up the car to go pick up Greg.
Dorothy yelled out the window to the girls in Hilde's car, "I'm picking up Greg we'll meet you there!"
"Good luck in finding us when you get there! You know how it is like!" Sally yelled back at her.
Dorothy nodded and they headed to pick up Greg. On the way she called him on her cell phone. Obviously he had forgotten too and hurried to get ready. When they drove up to his house he came running out. His long black ponytail and his soft yet cold ice blue eyes looked to everyone and then he smiled.
Getting into the front sitting by Dorothy he leaned over to kiss her cheek and she smiled softly back at him and kissed him back. Relena rolled her eyes and smiled at the two lovebirds. It was obvious they were always gonna be together. They had been together for a few weeks, and most likely they will be together till the day they die.
Quatre seemed to notice that they were close as well and had somewhat of a smile on his face. He turned his head to look at Relena once more and then looked out the window. His attention was then brought back to Greg speaking, "So you're Quatre right?"
He nodded and smiled, "Yes I am. I take it you are the one and only Greg."
Greg smirked and then looked to Relena, "So Rel, you and Quatre here dating yet?"
Her eyes widen and blinked a few times. 'What is it with people thinking that Quatre and me are a couple or something?! Jeez, I mean. Yea he is nice, and sweet, and adorably cute.Did I just think that? Oh god. Help me.' She finally found her voice and was about to speak but Quatre had already gotten to it before her.
"Actually Greg we're not dating. Though it seems that a lot of people think we are for some reason.", he said softly and smiled sweetly to Relena and then looked to Greg.
Greg just formed an "o" around his mouth and nodded. "I see. Well sorry for the misunderstanding." He then looked to his girlfriend and she just smirked and gave him a wink.
Little conversation was held, and it was mostly explaining about the night's events. They were all heading to the local park where there would be a concert held to everyone that bought a ticket to the event either before that day or at the gate. There they would listen to the rock bands and just have fun.
They explained a lot of things to Quatre at what may happen there. Like the crowd surfing, the mosh pits, the drinking, and maybe even the drugs there.
When they got there they parked the car on the side of the street and walked over to the concert. The bands could be heard from where they were and Quatre saw Relena's smile grew more and more as they got closer.
Guards checked their tickets and their bags as they went in. Greg had grabbed Dorothy's hand as they walked together in front of Relena and Quatre. The two smiled at the couple and saw a few of the girls come over.
"Hey you guys finally got here!", Hilde yelled over the music to Three Days Grace.
Relena nodded, "I know that! But let's go and have fun!"
Sally and Midii grinned and linked their arms with Quatre's. He looked to both of them and heard Midii talking to up to him. "We are going to be your guides so you won't get lost! Okay?!"
He nodded some, "Yea but aren't we all going to be together?"
Sally shook her head, "Nope. Dorothy is going to be with Greg of course.. Cathy is with her brother. And Hilde and Relena always go off on their own and find a way back to the house eventually."
"Why is that?" he asked looking to both of the girls and they both blinked a few times and stuttered to say something. Finally Midii spoke up, "Well they have friends here too and they get rides home. They'll be fine."
Quatre looked in Midii's eyes and could tell that she wasn't telling the whole truth about this. His sea orbs gazed back over to Relena and Hilde. They were already moving down further to the large crowd by the stage. Maybe if he could catch up with them.
As he went to walk he realized that Sally and Midii were still latched on to him and sighed. 'Oh well, I could always find them later.' Though that thought had become less as more people filed into the park and were pushing the three towards the booths.
'Err.. Maybe not.. I wonder if Dorothy could clue me in.. Wait.. Where is she?' He looked around to see if he saw his cousin's long creamy blonde hair, but that was a failed attempt. There were just too many people around.
Sally and Midii started jumping up and down and it urged Quatre to do so as well. The music was loud even from back at the different booths. Sally then looked up at Quatre, "Hey you want to go down in the front and all?"
Quatre had really no other choice and nodded heading forward down to the stage with the two girls latched on his arms. Each jumping up and down to the music. Bumping a few people here and there they soon made it down to the edge of the people. It would take a lot of work to get ALL the way up to the front. And Quatre soon decided that it would be much better if he jumped with the girls, lord was it going to be a long night for him.
When Relena saw Hilde she ran over to her immediately grabbing her hand and heading down to the stage. Hilde blinked curiously and looked at her, "Umm. Lena aren't we gonna wait for the others?"
Relena stopped seeing as how Hilde did so and glanced back up a few feet where Dorothy and Greg had departed from the group and seeing Sally and Midii walk up to Quatre. "No, they'll be fine. Besides we don't always hang out with them here anyway."
Hilde nodded some and began walking again with Relena beside her. Hearing the music getting louder with each step they smiled and started jumping and bouncing their heads to the music.
"Hil! Let's get those guys to take us up!", Relena yelled to her friend pointing to a group of guys near them. Hilde smirked and nod, heading over to the guys.
"Hi boys do you mind if you take us up in the air?" Hilde ask in a girlish sweet voice that was not at all like her. Relena was disgusted with it but just smiled to the guys as well.
"Sure let's get y'all up there." A blonde said and Hilde held out her arms to the guys, lifting her up in the air and throwing her into the crowd. "Weeeeeeee!"
Hilde landed on some other people who lifted her up and she headed towards the stage faster and easier it seemed. Relena smiled and looked back to the guys, "Guess it is my turn?"
The guys nodded and she walked closer to them as they lifted her up and threw her in the air much like Hilde. Soon enough she came up beside her friend and they grabbed each other's hands. "Hilde this rocks!"
"Of course I mean it is CROWD SURFING!" Hilde yelled back at her and she smiled a cheesy smile. Though Relena lost grip of Hilde's hand and was pulled down to the ground by an arm around her waist.
Hilde looked around and tried to get down from her "surfing" but the crowd moved her away from where her friend was dragged down. She scanned the crowd more and she soon was dropped on the ground and getting stepped on by the jumping people.
'This is one thing I hate about this concert. You can get hurt by jumping feet!' she soon got up and tried moving her way back up into the crowd but she was just pushed back to the outer edges and bumped into some people. Namely Sally, Midii, and Quatre.
"Oomph.." she said crashing into Midii and tried to balance herself. Finally doing so she stood up straight and pretended to dust herself off and looked up at them. "Whoops. Sorry guys.. How is everything?"
Midii shook her head and smiled, "Great you?"
"Eh.. Was great till I got split up from Lena. But she'll be fine we always meet each other after every crowd surfing over by where you buy the beers and all." she said raising her voice just a little so they could hear them.
Quatre blinked a few times and raised a brow, "Why meet over there? I mean you guys don't drink.. Do you?"
Hilde narrowed her eyes and then smiled politely and lied, big-time, "No we don't, we just meet over there because it is the closest," she pointed the stand near the stage and it was in fact a beer stand. "See?"
Quatre looked to where she pointed at and then back at her face and nodded slowly, "Yes.. I see.", he said not really believing her but said nothing more about it.
Sighing deeply Hilde heard the last verse of the song and waited patiently for Relena to merge from the crowd. Folding her arms over one another she looked to the others and then back at the crowd tapping her foot.
'I guess this is why Relena has been weird today. She feels he knows something, somehow. Which I have the same feeling but." she thought and looked to Quatre, his lips formed a smile on his face as he looked to the stage bobbing his head a little bit. 'I don't find it that threatening. Hmm.'
Quatre then turned his attention to Hilde and blinked a few times. 'It seems her and Relena are very observant of everything.' Hilde quickly looked away and heard the words of the next song come on.
Relena felt someone's arm around her waist and pulled her down from on top of the crowd. 'Damn it. They're already drunk, sheet.' The person still held on to her waist and she tried to move away from his hold but couldn't.
He was strong. Her eyes glanced down to see his arm and hand. Then she slowly turned her head to look up and see who grabbed her. Her eyes widen as she came face to face with Heero Yuy.
She gasped a little and looked up into his fiery Prussian blue eyes. Blinking a few times, many things passed through her mind within that second. 'Why is he here? Why did he pull me down? Why-?
The people still jumping up and down, and pushing each other after the last chords of the song soon interrupted her thought. She fell against Heero, grabbing a hold of him for balance she looked up slowly.
He only looked back at her and a flicker of emotion passed through his eyes. Relena shook her head and kept her gaze on him. Hoping no emotion showed through her eyes, hoping that her eyes can be like his for once.
Another song started to play and Relena recognized and closed her eyes. It was 3 Doors Down "I'm Here Without You". Her head tipped slightly and she rested her forehead against Heero's chest.
The first verse was sung and Relena took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. She couldn't show him her emotions. Not now, not ever!
A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face
Heero moved his hand through her hair, which sent Relena into a shock and opened her eyes, though her forehead still resting against his chest. His hand then came up to raise her head slightly so he could see her face, her eyes.
He cupped her face, rubbing his thumb over her cheek. She blinked, confused at his actions. Shaking her head, 'No. Don't make me believe. Don't. Stop torturing me.'
The chorus was then sung and Relena couldn't help but tear up a bit. She then closed her eyes and let a single tear roll down her pale face. Heero closed his eyes and wiped away the fallen tear and kissed her forehead. "Believe in me. Please."
I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rolling as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is over rated but I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
Relena opened her eyes and looked up to him. His walls were broken for now and she saw an emotion of concern in his eyes. Why did he have to show up here? Why give her false hope? No.. She wouldn't take this anymore. She can't. It hurt too much.
But then Heero pulled her into a warm embrace and started to sing the last chorus of the song. His voice lulling her to rest her head on his shoulder, her arms still at her sides.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
After the song finished he looked down from her and backed away from her, sending a look then walked off into the crowd. Most likely searching for his friends. Relena stood there still in shock.
A new song came on that she really didn't bother to pay attention to. Getting pushed and what not she wriggled herself through the crowd to get to the beer stand where she usually met Hilde.
Sure enough there was Hilde standing up against the stand talking to this guy she must have just met, Sally, Midii, and. Quatre. 'Damn.' she thought and started to think about turning away until she heard Midii yell her name, "Relena!"
Sighing Relena turned herself back around and walked over to them. Hilde looked at her friend and saw that she had been crying over something. She blinked a few times and looked to Relena to see if she would give any clues or hints on the matter. But she received none.
Quatre himself was relieved yet worried at this. 'Of course she is here and it was good, though she seems more depressed than before. Why is it that she is like this?' He kept asking questions that he didn't know the answers to, and looked at her.
Her eyes held little to no emotion what so ever. Though you could see a bit of regret and sadness with in a blink of an eye. Comes just as fast as it goes.
Relena looked away from him and to Hilde, "So are you getting Adam to hook us up with everything later?"
Hilde nodded some and everyone else just raised a brow at them. What did she mean 'everything'? Hmm. Sally and Midii looked at Quatre hoping he would forget about it and just leave it be.
"So I guess we'll see you at the house later tonight?" Sally asked looking to both of her friends. When they both nodded she turned around as did Midii.
Quatre stayed where he was, still staring at Relena, wondering what had happened in that crowd surf during that song. He then was dragged by the other two girls and looked back to Relena and Hilde. Something was going to happen. He could feel it and he could tell by the look in their eyes.
He sighed and just shrugged it off hoping his "feelings" about things wouldn't be right. He just held this ability to be able to tell if something bad or good was about to happen. More bad than good. Which isn't anything pleasant.
He nodded to the girls and smiled, "We'll see you later I guess."
"Yea.. Okay, see ya later!" Hilde said smiling and then turning to Relena looking at her for a moment. Relena had nodded a goodbye to Quatre and then looked back at her friend.
She knew what was coming. Like always Hilde would say she's been crying, she would deny it and so forth. Sighing a bit she just mize well skip the argument, as much as she would love to argue she decided against it. She just wanted to try and enjoy the rest of the night.
"Yes I have been crying Hilde." Relena said softly and closed her eyes looking away from her friend. Regaining her composure she looked back up at her friend and smiled sweetly, "I'm okay now though."
"Alright then." Hilde knew better, she knew her friend must still be hurting over something. She could tell, she wanted her to talk to herself. Just like she had finally opened herself up to her, but all attempts had failed. She only opened up once that one night, though that was a few months ago and she became like a zombie after that.
"So when is Adam getting here?" Relena asked trying to find out if she would be able to have 'fun' tonight. Hilde smirked and turned her head to the side. As she did she saw two guys walking out of the crowd and towards them.
"Right now." Hilde said and went over to hug Adam. Relena smiled some. She knew how much her friend cared for him. Hilde and Adam had finally gotten together after almost a year of being friends. They were a great pair and had fun together.
Relena was happy that her friend was able to find happiness finally. Especially after what she had been through. Adam was Hilde's strength for now. And she hoped he wouldn't hurt her like David did. Lord knows that Relena would castrate him if he did.
Relena mused at the thought and nodded to Adam. He was much taller than her and Hilde, most likely about six-feet tall. Somewhat of the white skater boy. His dark brown hair spiked up, with a rugged go-tee and mustache. He was dressed in his usual black baggy, very baggy, cargo pants and a black skateboard T-shirt.
After the little hug between her friends Adam looked over to her, "Hey Lena!" She smiled softly to him, "Hello Adam." He did a little grin and looked around as if paranoid of something and then took out a pack of cigarettes and some money.
"Hey catch Lena!" Adam yelled and threw the pack over to her, she caught them and raised a brow, "Are they laced?" He simply nodded and walked over to the beer stand ordering three beers. Coming back over he handed one to Hilde and Lena.
Lena had already lit up as did Hilde. They slowly inhaled and breathed deeply, finally opening their mouths to let out some smoke. Both of the girls smiled and took a swig of their drinks.
"Let's go up to the front!" Relena yelled and hurried over to the massive crowd. Hilde blinked a few times and linked arms with Adam, them following the blonde.
Another band had come to play on the stage at this time known as, Simple Plan. They started to play one of their hit singles called "I'd Do Anything" Relena started to jump up and down hitting her laced cigarette and drinking her beer.
'Yes this I like. I can forget everything. All the pain and hurt. Heero. The girls. And that damn guy Quatre.' Why had he been so concern anyway? What all did Dorothy tell him? He is too kind. To sweet. I can't be his friend at all. Just an acquaintance that's all.
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
'Damn it! Why is some song always in reference to something in my life?! Oh screw it I'm just. This too much.' Relena thought and finished both her drink and smoke. Trying to move through the crowd to get out. There was just too much going on.. The whole thing with Heero and then Dorothy's cousin.
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
'Gah! I'm not waiting. Never. I can't do it.. This is just not fair..' The song was getting to her more than she thought it would and by now there were tears streaming down her face. Bumping into countless number of people she ran into someone.
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana
And I'd do anything for you
"Miss Relena? I mean..Relena? Are you alright?" asked a concerned voice. It was soft and warm. Relena looked up slowly her vision blurring slightly, 'Damn, Adam put way too much in that last one. The alcohol isn't helping..'
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
Quatre just looked down at her, his arms holding her up. His sea green orbs looked into her cold ice blue ones searching for a clue of something. She was crying and obviously not in the right state of mind. He tried asking her once more hoping she would talk to him, "Mi-Relena. What's wrong?"
Relena shook her head and closed her eyes. She had been staring into his own much like when she did with Heero. 'No not again. I don't want this.'
She was dizzy and couldn't stop crying but she tried to gain control over herself and spoke softly so that he could hear her, "I'm fine. I just have something in my eye."
She lied to him and once she looked up at him she knew that he knew it was a lie. Sighing softly, Quatre began moving her to the restroom area and guided her in, not really caring who was in there or not. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and ran it under cold water and handed it to her, his other hand still held onto her to make sure she didn't fall.
Relena murmured a 'thanks' and put the damp cloth over her face. "Mmm." That felt good. Nice, cold and soft. She smiled slightly and then it faded as she took the cloth off her eyes and looked to who was holding her.
"Q-Quatre.I." she was stuttering, why was she stuttering? She had better control. Yes, of course she did. Though in her current state, she can't really hide most of her emotions.
Quatre shook his head and hushed her. He took the cloth from her hands and took her face in his hands. Moving the cloth over her forehead and eyes, then her cheeks and so forth, "You shouldn't talk right now. I'm assuming you are not in the state of mind of rationality so... Let me help."
Relena blinked a few times, "Help?" Help her? What the hell could he do? He doesn't know anything. About anything here, nothing. He is totally clueless to this place and he says he wants to help? Gah, men always do a 180 on you at times.
Quatre smiled softly and nodded, "Yes, help you.." He then washed out his handkerchief and ringed it out, folding it over and handed it to her. "Put this on your head."
Relena was about to protest but decided against it, she had a headache right now. The music wasn't really helping and she winced to the loudness of it all. Quatre noticed this and spoke softly to her, "I'll take you home or back to the house. You don't need to be here with this music."
She tilted her head slightly and thank god he really didn't notice that she was a bit.Him high? Drunk? "As well as getting you away from the alcohol and drugs.. I assume you had some, didn't you? That's why your pupils are dilated, you're a bit dizzy and tipsy and have a major headache?"
Damn. Thought too soon. Well he certainly was smart but, "How would you know if I was drinking and smoking?"
Quatre's smile faded and just gave a knowing look and Relena was powerless to object, "Fine, fine." He simply linked arms with her and helped guided her way out of the restroom and back out to the park.
Why was she letting him help her anyway? She would be better off if he hadn't butted in. 'So why can't I just tell him to back off like everyone else?' Another bang in her head went off as she heard more and more of the music. Her hand flew up to her temple and she groaned. "Damn it."
Quatre looked down at her and held her firmly and closely to him. Praying that she would be all right for the time being. He saw Sally and Midii coming back from the concession stands and greeted them, "Hello ladies. It seems Relena isn't feeling all too well and I was going to take her home.."
Sally and Midii looked to Relena and sighed. They nodded solemnly and hugged Relena softly whispering in her ears. "Relena he's sweet. Open up to him at least.", Sally said softly.
"He's fond of you. Please don't do anything rash." Midii whispered in her other ear. Relena just looked at them as if they were crazy.
