Chapter 7
"Trowa,I am so sorry."
"No. It's ok."
"No really. I am. I know you're mad at me right now."
"Well,maybe a little."
"But after you pushed me into the shuttle,I just shouldn't bare the thought of not being by your side."
"I wanted to go back and tell you,but then this happened and I couldn't. I was just so worried about Quatre."
"We all were."
"Oh c'mon you guys,"said Quatre.
"That's one reason I came to find you guys."
"You just wanted to help out. Don't be ashamed,you can say it,"said Duo.
"I'm not ashamed Duo. I'm just scared,"I muttered.
"Leave her alone Duo,"said Trowa as he hugged me.
"I'll be in the back,"I said as I got up and left.
"Nicole,is everything alright?"asked Trowa as he opened the door.
"No Trowa. Everything is not alright."
"Is it what Duo said?"
"No. It's just."I paused. "It's just that we barely get any time to ourselves. I wasn't with you for two days,and that felt like forever. I want to be with you Trowa."I started to sob.
"Hey,come here now,"he said as hugged and kissed me. "But you are with me now right?"
I nodded.
"I'm sorry I did that,and I'm sorry I didn't come back ok?"
"Ok. I just feel so stupid."
"Don't say that. You're a great person. That's why I love you."
"I just don't see why anyone would want to start another war."
"Well,that's why we still have politics and crap. But I want you to stay by my side ok?"
I nodded. "Ok."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yes."
"Are you really scared?"
I shook my head. "I was. But now that I'm with you I don't see why I should be."
"That's my girl,"he kissed me. "Do you want to go back out,or would like to stay back here?"
"Can we stay back here for just a little bit."
He smiled. "If that's what you want."
"You really don't have to."
"No. I want to stay with you."
"Thank you."
"I love you."
"I love you too." I wanted to cry. Why do you have to do this to me,I thought. Why do you care so much?
"You guys ok?"asked Duo as he opened the door.
"We're fine Duo."
"Ok. Just wanted to let you guys know that we're almost there,"and he shut the door.
"You want to go back up?"asked Trowa.
"Yeah,"I said as I got up.
"Nicole,will you look at me for one second?"
I obeyed.
"Please be careful out there ok?"
I nodded. "I'll be fine."
"Not without me you won't."
"Trowa."
"I'm not going to leave your side. Not after what I did last time."
I smiled. "That sounds nice."
"I don't want you to leave me before we get married."
"I think I can do that."
"So,can I stay by your side."
I smiled. "That's the only reason why I want to marry you right?"
"Right."
When we got there,Heero and Relena were already waiting for us. But we weren't going home just yet. We couldn't. We had business to do. Plus I wasn't going to leave Trowa. Well,not now at least. We still needed each other.
"Nicole,are you ok?"asked Trowa.
"Yes. I'm fine."
"You sure?"
I smiled. "I can't leave you now Trowa."
"Just be careful for me ok?"
"You know I will."
"Good,"and he kissed me.
But then a shot rang out. A bullet flew,and hit me right in the thigh.
"NICOLE! Oh my god!"
I touched Trowa's face. "Trowa.it's Sorgan."
"What?"
I gasped for air. The pain was starting to get worse.
"No. Don't leave me."
I smiled. "I'm not going to leave you. Trowa,Sorgan is in there and you have to stop him. He.he wants the gundams."
"Nicole,we have to get you out of here."
"I'm fine,"I said as I tried to stand up."
"No. No you're not fine."
"Let me take her,"said Relena.
I couldn't believe it. She was actually going to take me to the hospital. "Trowa?"
"Are you sure she's going to be ok?"asked Trowa."
"She'll be fine,"said Heero. "You guys go. I'll catch up."
"Trowa,I am so sorry."
"No. It's ok."
"No really. I am. I know you're mad at me right now."
"Well,maybe a little."
"But after you pushed me into the shuttle,I just shouldn't bare the thought of not being by your side."
