The Story of Our Love
Part 7: Shock and Amazement
Relena walked in the office and saw that everyone was watching her. She had her hair back up. Her eyes looked unbelievably happy, but her face still held that same demeanor of a mean cuss.
" Noin, why is everyone looking at me like I have forgotten my shirt or something?"
" Have you seen the paper? There weren't any photographers there, but Duo did. He took a picture of you with your hair down and the dress you wore. Personally, I think you looked great. Duo must've sold it to someone..." Noin said as Relena slammed the door. Suddenly she realized something that never came across her mind.
Why hadn't Heero told her an explanation about why he had a magazine with them kissing on it? Why didn't he ever answer her?
Relena got up and walked down the hall. Everyone looked at her. Noin watched. During her stampede, she grabbed someone's paper. There was a certain determination in her mind and then there was something else. Something more like hurt. Relena kicked open the door to Heero and Duo's office.
" What the fuck is this? Cameras were not allowed at this gala. Duo, you were the only person with a fucking camera. Who took the goddamn picture, damnit?!" Relena screamed. Heero glared at Duo, then back at Relena.
" Relena, I don't know how that got there?" Duo lied. He smiled with all the malice in the world and looked snidely back at Heero. Heero's eyes twitched.
" Well, how did it, Duo? Cameras are not allowed at the galas. How the hell did you take this picture? You're the only person I know stupid enough to try something like this. Duo, you're on probation." Relena turned to go. Duo was steaming. Relena turned to go when she heard something.
" Why don't you ask Heero why he started taking such an interest in you, my sweet. Go ahead and ask him." Duo said. Heero, who had not said a word, looked at Duo with all the malevolence he could muster. It was way past Death Glare.
Relena looked at Heero. He watched her. Her eyes watered a bit.
" What the hell is he talking about? I thought I always intrigued you."
" It was a task that you brother so graciously bestowed upon him, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian. Your own family. Everyone knew about it." Duo said spitefully.
Relena's face was trying in a desperate attempt not to start crying. She turned away from Heero. He got up and started to walk towards her. He reached out for her. Relena slapped his hand away. Her face was genuinely evil. She was frowning to an extent that it was almost a different person.
" Don't touch me! Get the fuck away from me!" Relena yelled. She punched Heero square in the face. He fell back, his nose bleeding. Duo watched. Relena stepped over him. The heel of her shoe found his balls and she kicked him hard.
" You used me. You used me get a good fuck. That's all! I hate you. Don't ever come near me again!" Relena then glanced at Duo.
" And fuck you, Duo. You're still on probation." Relena walked out. She knocked her brother down on the way to her office and "accidentally" elbowed Noin in the back of her head.
" What the hell is her problem?" Zechs asked. Noin was rubbing the back of her head and mumbling incoherently.
" What's that noise?" Noin asked. The walked down the hall to Heero and Duo's office. Heero was getting over his pain and Duo sat looking satisfied. Heero got up and moaned something. Duo, for the first time in his life, looked truly scared.
Whenever Heero moaned, bad things would happen. He didn't even moan when having sex. Heero glared at Duo. He threw a punch and knocked Duo out of his chair. Although his balance was a little off, his aim was dead on.
" What the hell was that for? I thought I did you a favor. You never really wanted to date her." Duo said. Heero swayed a bit, his groin still aching. Hilde and Noin watched. Zechs just smirked.
" How do you know what I want?" Heero said, his voice a bit uneven. He threw a pair of scissors at Duo, cutting his face. Duo touched it and lunged toward him.
" DUO!!" Hilde said.
" HEERO!!" Noin yelled. Zechs helped the two women tear the two apart.
Later that week, Relena lay at home. She hadn't been to work in two days. Her phone rang off the hook until Relena unplugged every phone in the condo. She walked around in her red robe. She took sleeping pills with Hennessy. She was an all-around mess. Relena had also been eating a lot, not to mention throwing up a lot.
Relena looked in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying so hard. Then she looked at the alcohol and pills in her hand. She immediately started crying again. Relena swallowed all the pills in her hand with the drink. She threw the glass at the mirror, breaking the mirror.
" Why am I always so stupid? I thought that Heero could be somewhat different but, no. He's just like everyone else. I thought he liked me." Relena lye on the floor, crying. The sleep pills and alcohol took over her.
Noin looked at Relena's office door. She hadn't been to work since Monday. It was now a week later. She was beginning to get worried. Zechs hadn't said anything about his sister's absence, but she could tell he was worried.
" Zechs, is she going to come back?" Noin asked. Zechs looked towards Relena's door.
" I think we should just wait it out, Noin. Relena probably just needs time and space. I know I would. Has Heero been back in?" He asked.
" No, but then again neither has Relena. Do you think that they are with each other?"
" As stubborn as those two are, hell no. Neither one will admit that they were wrong. But, then again, Relena wasn't wrong. I think I should go check on her."
" You're the last person besides Heero that she wants to see, Zechs. I'll go. She would rather talk to me because, technically, we really don't like each other. If she sees someone she does like, she'll do and say a lot more. I'm leaving now. Bye, darling." Noin kissed him and got ready to go.
Later on...
Noin knocked on Relena's door. She had a basket of food and other goodies ready for her.
" Relena, open up. It's Noin." Noin said. She heard no answer. She didn't even hear a noise that someone was in the house.
" Well, if you won't open up, I'm coming in." Noin picked the lock. The place reeked of alcohol. Glasses were everywhere. Noin saw some were broken and there were empty bottles of sleeping pills. She found Relena lying in her room, under her broken mirror.
" RELENA!!" Noin ran forward abandoning the basket. She kneeled and heard Relena moan. She saw all of the glass from the mirror and all of the pill bottles.
" Why did you do this? Relena, don't die! Please don't die!" She reached for the phone. There was no dial tone. Then she reached for her cell phone. Dialing Zechs' number, she screamed in it.
" Noin, slow down."
" Relena tried to kill herself. Call the paramedics here. She cut all the phone lines." Noin hung up. She stuck her finger down Relena's throat. Relena threw up a mixture of alcohol and sleeping pills.
" Noin..." Relena whispered. Then she slipped into unconsciousness.
" Hold on." Noin said.
AN: Hmmmmm. I told you. This was quite possibly the most cursing you will ever see. The next chapter will be a sad one. I hope it isn't too much.
