The Love we Used to Have

Vastulja Sata Menton

Part Three (Heero's POV)

Okay, so yes I had been cheating on Releana. And yes, I forgot about our anniversary. But, it really wasn't like an anniversary because I wasn't completely with her. That's how Duo explained it to me after I admitted my folly. I know it was wrong to 'play' her, in Hilde's words, like I did. But every time I tried to break up with her, I…I just…couldn't. I didn't want to hurt her, you know. And I did care about her. But I loved Duo, not here. I was going to tell her, but well she found out before I could.

When she stormed out of my apartment like she did, it broke my heart. I knew that I had hurt a very close friend, and that I might now have that friendship anymore. I think Duo realized that and that was why he let me be for some time. I needed the time to think things through. I left then, and went to the one person I knew that I could talk to. Quatre. He would know what to do.

"Hey, Quatre. Thanks for taking the time to come and talk." We both sat in a small café drinking tea.

"Oh, not a problem Heero. I was already out and about. So, what do you need to talk about?" He inquired. I've never been one to beat around the bush. So I told him.

"Relena."

"Oh."

"Yeah. See, well I forgot about our two-year anniversary. And today she came to my place to talk. Well…okay I guess I better tell you. I've kind of been seeing Duo for the past year and a half. And Relena just kind of found out."

Quatre coughed and cleared his throat. He was clearly shocked. "You mean to tell me that you've been dating Duo and Relena for the past year and a half?"

"Yeah."

"So, explain this to me?" He was still confused.

"Okay, so I was cheating on Relena. I know. It was wrong. I just didn't want to hurt her you know."

"I think it's too late for that." I glared at him. Well, duh!

"Yeah, well, now I don't know what to do."

"Do what is in your heart. That's the only thing that I can suggest. This is something I have no experience in. Just follow your heart." Oh yeah. Great advice. I hated it when Quatre made me look deep inside of myself.

End Part Three
