Ch. 16 – Protection of the Princess
"Ladies and gentlemen," Relena spoke her words as she wrote. "No, that sounds too. . . don't know. Um, my fellow citizens. No, I sound like I'm writing a political speech, and I'm not. I'm writing an address to my recent behavior." She sighed. "What do you call an angry mob? . . . You people!" She tried to laugh at herself. –Laughing is so much better than crying. Just keep on laughing. –
There was a knock at the door. "Yes, come in." Relena said, not even looking back to see who entered the room.
"Hello Relena." She recognized the voice immediately. That sweet, cheery voice.
"Quatra!" She jumped from the chair and turned around.
He gave her a warm embrace, then stepped back and looked at her, taking on a more serious tone. "How are you?"
She smiled her 'Please think I'm fine, but I'm not' smile. "I'm all right."
"What were you working on?" He inquired, knowing he would get nowhere by simply asked her straightforward. Relena was a strong person, and she wanted the world to see her as nothing but that strong person. She wanted to hide her weakness from everyone.
"Please, sit." She said, turning the chair back around and offering it to him.
"Only if you will." He smiled, sitting down, and she sat down on a little sofa close, but not too close, to him.
"I was working on a speech." She paused and looked down in her lap. "By now I'm sure you know everything."
"Not everything. . ."
"Enough, anyway, to understand why I'm writing the speech." She sighed, but almost immediately looked up from her lap, to his face. "So what brings you here?"
"Milliardo. He thought it would be best if you had someone trustworthy to look after you."
"Oh. . ."
"Plus, I wanted to make sure you were ok. It just gave me a grand excuse." He smiled warmly at her, trying his best to either cheer her up or open her up. –It will feel better if you talk about it, Relena. Anyone who knows you knew about Heero. We all expected it to happen, just. . .not like this. . . –
"Well thank you." Relena tried to brighten her smile, seeing he was not buying that she was truly fine. –Quatra, I can't talk about it. The only way I can stay strong is to...block it out, for now. –
"I'll let you get back to your speech." He stood from the chair but turned back to look at her. "Or if you would like, I could take you to lunch..."
"I can't..." She sighed. "I can't leave the house."
"But you have an escort now!" Quatra tried his best to stay as bright and cheery as possible, but Relena's eyes were just so sad. He could see how badly she was hurting.
"I can't." She repeated, stood for the sofa, then sat back down in the chair. She pulled the seat up close to the desk and began scribbling on the paper again, only this time, she was silent. –I can't...–

An: Ok, so that took forever to put out, and I believe it was the shortest chapter I've ever done. I'm so sorry! I've been taking classes this week, and it's been all I could do to survive. I'll be back on the straight and narrow ASAP!
Special Thanks:
AriesNoShion – Don't worry, more humiliation to come! Thanks for the review!
Daddynaz – Thank you for the continual encouragement. Yes news did spread fast, and maybe it did or maybe it didn't have something to do with the chapel. Maybe there was something else that you just haven't figured out yet.
Chibi-Shi – I decided to take a different route with it. I like all of the 'happily ever after' stories, and this may end up being one of those, but for now, I wanted to stand out in the crowd. Thanks for the review!
SakuraxHimura – Yes, she's very skilled with words, and don't worry, they'll come out on top. Thanks for the review!
Raizard333 – Yes, I agree, Quatra makes excellent moral support. No, I don't think I'll have Trowa deck Heero just yet. And you're very right about non-rele's not reading the story. Thanks for the review!
Hououza – Yes, he does have a LONG way to go. But you couldn't expect the great emotionless Heero to apologize all in one sitting, could you? Thanks for the review!
Sailor J-chan/2xH 4ever/Psycho – I got it. They're right! Lol. Thanks for the review!
Angelofdarkness – I enjoyed your review more than you could know. It was so adorable! Yes, Relena may need therapy, but hopefully she will seek it through an actual psychiatrist this time.
Sorrow – Yes, she does take it lightly, to his face. Would you really want the man who hurt you to know how bad he hurt you? Behind closed doors is a whole nothing story. Heero will eventually get it together too. Thanks for the review!
Naitheas – Yes, he'll get around to it eventually. Thanks for the review!
Clarobell – Thanks so much for the review!
Wing – Yes, a lot of things have gone on since u last reviewed. Yes, Heero has been a jerk, and yes, he will eventually get around to a full apology. I personally liked the kiss between Relena and Duo too, lol. Thanks for the review!
JK – Thank you so so so so much!!!!
Hikari-Kawaii – Yes, Heero is an idiot. Thanks for the review!
Yuna189 – As long as you keep reading each chapter ASAP, I'll keep updating ASAP!
