How Could You

Chapter 2

Two days later Relena set in the office of Quatre Raberba Winner waiting for him to arrive. She reached to her bag and pulled out a Frappuccino.

"Miss Relena!!" Quatre cried out as he walked in to his office, causing Relena to spill her drink all over herself. Quatre dropped his briefcase and ran over to her and gave her a hug. Relena smiled happily.

"Hey, I've missed you too, Quatre."

"You've been gone for so long," Quatre wiped a tear from his eye. "It feels like it's been years."

"Well it has been years." Relena smiled, "Anyway, can you tell me what is going on with Heero?"

"Right," Quatre said slipping in to solder mode, "well there is only one way to really let you in on things and that is to show you." Relena looked at him questionably as he pulled a remote out from with in his desk; he then flipped on the TV.

It showed Heero standing on the roof of a building. There was no sound but she saw Duo standing near by with his gun pulled. Heero slowly turned around to face Duo then he let himself fall off of the roof, Relena's hand flow to her mouth.

"This was one year ago, since then there has been 26 other attempts to kill himself. He has been to doctors, in and out of the hospital, I don't know how many times. I've tried talking to him Duo has, Wufei, Trowa, hell even your brother has tried to find out what was wrong with him. We are all very worried about him. He's stop eating and taking care of himself. It's like his will to live is gone. He isn't even Heero anymore. It scares me a great deal." Quatre sighed, shaking his head.

"No"

"Then how can I help?"

"I'm going out on lima by calling you in here because to tell you the truth I'm not sure you can. I'm praying that with you back maybe he'll remember what it is he has been living for."

"How can just my being here do that?"

"Because you're what kept him living in war times and…well because…he is in love with you. Quatre hesitated; Relena looked at him in told shock, "we think that maybe when you left he felt like you had abandon him and now he has lost site of you."

"Where is he now?"

"The hospital…he is unconscious from an over dose." Quatre sighed

"I'll head down there to see him now." Relena sigh standing up "I'll see you later."

"OK"

Relena walked down the hall and though over what Quatre had told her.

"Would he really do this because of me?" she wondered to her self "does he really think I abandoned him?"

"Yea, he does." A voice said behind her as she waited for the elevator. She turned around and gave her friend a soft small smile.

"But Duo, why would he think such a thing?"

"We don't know. I personally think that he though you had given up on him." The two friends boarded the elevator and rode in silence.

When they reached the hospital floor they both stepped out and walked to one of the privet rooms. Relena opened the door and slowly the two friends walked in the room. Relena felt her breath catch in her throat when she saw him lying on the hospital bed.

"You going to be here for a while, 'lean'?" Duo ask, but all Relena could do to answer him was nod her head, "I'll go get us some coffee." Again all she could do was nod. Looking back at his two friends Duo sighed and left the room.

"How could you do this to your self, Heero, how?" Relena asks after some time had passed. Tears began running down the side of her face. "Don't you know that there are people who love you?"

She walked over to the bedside and reach out but couldn't bring her self to touch him.

"Oh Heero" she started to sob softly "Do even care how much you're hurting your friends...Oh Heero?" Relena felt a pair of strong arms wrap around and hug her.

"I don't think he understands, even after we talked to him about it." Duo whispered as Relena lend back in to his embrace and cried.

"Oh Duo, how could he do this, how?" she ask as she felt herself clasped to the floor. Duo held her as she cried as he felt tears come to his own eyes. He wanted to slap his best friend for hurting Relena like this.

"Thank you" Relena smiled up at Duo as she wiped her eyes after she had cried herself out.

"Hey don't 'thank you' me, my shoulder always has and always will be open for you to cry on." Duo smiled broadly trying to hide his own tears.

"As is mine for you." Relena replied seeing passed his masked, "I've missed you."

"I have missed you as well."

"I wish I knew how to fix all of this." Relena whimpered as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"We all do," Duo whispered as he folded her in to a deep hug. "We all do."
