(Duo POV)

I sighed and closed my eyes to block out the vision before me. Sitting here on a bench by myself, I envied them, I thought to myself. They, who are so carefree and happy. Without a care in the world. I shifted and bit back a cry of pain as the numerous bruises on my body came into contact with the hard wood of the bench.
I wanted so much to have a life as happy as theirs. To have parents who actually cared about you and did't beat you. Parents like that I didn't have. My parents beat me and hated me to the core.
/She walks to school with the lunch she packed
nobody knows what shes holding back
wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
she hides the bruises with linen and lace/

(Heero POV)
----------------------------------------------------------------
I stared at the silent boy who sat on a bench on the other side of the basketball court. His face showed sadness. And his eyes, extreme pain and sorrow radiated from the blue-violet depths. From time to time he would wince and shift his position. For reasons unknown, I felt compelled to protect this boy.
But what could cause this boy so much sadness? It tore at my heart for some reason.
I wanted to help this boy, who I now remembered lived next door to me.

(Duo POV) with a bit of Heero POV too.

/The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
it's hard to see the pain behind the mask
bearing the burden of a secret storm
sometimes she wishs she was never born/
I tried not to fidget under the suspicious gaze of my teacher. I moved my shirts long sleeves down over my arms to make sure the bruises weren't visible. She couldn't know, absolutely not. I shiverd at the thought that if she knew, she might tell my parents.The thought was horrifying.
Lunch time came around and I took my lunch out to the playground to eat. I chose a bench not to far from the exit. As I sat down a boy with wild brown hair and prussian blue eyes sat down next to me. I looked at him and he smiled and said," Hi, i'm Heero Yuy. What's yours?" I was dumbfounded. Why would anyone want to talk to me? I vaguely remembered him as a neighbor of mine. Shaking my thoughts off I introduced my self. " Hi, i'm Duo Maxwell. Nice to meet you." In my mind I was smiling because I had a friend.
/Through the wind and the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flys to a place wheres shes loved
concrete angel/
After school was over I was walked home by Heero.
I smiled and nodded to him as I walked inside my house. The smile dropped from my face as I saw my parents in the living room. I was stammering apologies and trying to get to my room as fast as I could, but before I had turned the handle, my world explouded in pain.
/Somebody cries in the middle of the night
the neighbors hear but they turn out the light
a fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
when morning comes it'l be too late/
I heard cries and shouts coming from the house Duo lived in next door.
I looked at my parents, but they shook their heads sadly, turned out the lights and told me to go to bed.
Doing as my parents told me to, I went to my room and got in bed, trying to ignore the pain filled cries.
I felt tears slide down my face.
/Through the wind and the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flys to a place where shes loved
concrete angel/
In the morning I woke up to find cop cars and an ambulance out infront of Duos house.
I ran outside and saw the area blocked off by yellow police tape.
I ran up to a officer and asked what had happened. The answer stunned me.
Duo was dead, he was beat to death by his parents.
I looked towards the door and saw a stretcher being wheeled out. A body with a white sheet over it lay upon the stretcher, and I started to cry as I saw a chestnut colored braid that belonged to Duo fall off the stretcher to hang limply, followed by a bruised and battered arm.
/A statue stands in a shaded place
an angel girl with an upturned face
a name is written on a polished rock
a broken heart that the world forgot/
I stared at the headstone in font of me. Tears filled my eyes as I read the words on it.
DUO MAWELL
AC 180 - AC 196
LOVING CHILD AND LOYAL FRIEND TO HEERO YUY.
I let the tears fall and I sat down against his grave and wept for the boy I had come to love as a brother in just 24 hours. After my tears dried, I looked up and saw a face, and I knew I had no reason to cry anymore. Duo was happy and in a better place now. I looked up and smiled as I slowly disapeared.
/Through the wind and the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flys to a place where shes loved
concrete angel/
If one listened closely, you would hear the joyful laughter of two young boys on the breeze.
