The Love we Used to Have

Vastulja Sata Menton

Part Four (Heero's POV – still)

Instead of going back to the apartment, I decided that I needed to go talk to Releana. I knew that it was going to be hard. But then again, no one ever said that it was going to be easy. I just needed to talk to her and explain everything. Of course, for me that was easier said then done. I walked though. Yes, the entire way. It gave me a chance to think about things.

It was around five by the time that I got to Releana's place. The lights were on, as usual, and her car was parked in front. This was going to be hard. But I had to remind myself that I needed to do it. Even if I lost her friendship. If I hadn't already. I knocked on the door and waited. There was a moment of silence. The door opened and a maid stood before me.

"Ah, Master Heero. Please, do come in." The maid led me in and continued to speak. "Miss Releana seems a bid distressed today. I bet you will cheer her right up."

Yeah, highly doubt that. If anything, I'll get her more upset. Maybe I shouldn't have come. Before I could turn back though, the maid had led me into the study where Releana was. The maid quickly left, but Releana hadn't noticed the entrance of either of us. I cleared my throat loudly and waited. She looked up from her work, and pain set into her face. It hurt to see that, but now was not the time to worry about that.

"Releana, I think that we should talk." She looked at me and blinked. I prayed to whatever god there was that she would let me plead my case.

"Very well. Sit." I sat in the chair across from her and quickly collected my thoughts. Where to start? I hadn't even thought this far. Then again, I also didn't think that she was going to let me talk.

"Um, well. I know that this relationship hasn't gone quite as planned." I began.

"Clearly." She hissed. I sighed. I had no choice but to continue though, no matter how angry she became.

"And, I just want to apologize. I wish that things could have gone differently. But they did not. And I am very sorry." It was her turn now.

"Heero, why couldn't you have told me about this sooner? Instead of keeping it a secret for a year and a half?" She exclaimed.

"Because…I didn't want to hurt you."

"Well too late for that now!" it was like my conversation with Quatre all over again. It hurt twice as much this time around though.

"I'm sorry, okay? You may never forgive me, and I'm fine with that because I don't deserve it. But I love Duo."

She took a deep breath and sighed. "I can see that now. And I hope that you two have a lovely life together." She stood, and that was the end of the conversation. I left, without even saying goodbye. I had a feeling that being friends wasn't going to happen, and I was right.

End Part Four

AN: Oh, too bad Heero. Hehe. Okay, not sure when the next part will be up. I have the concept in my mind…I just have to get the will to write it. Lot of stuff to do. A paper to do before break is done, cleaning…and a bunch of other stuff. Oh! But the next chapter will be in Heero's POV…but then it will probably change to Duo's POV…if I keep it going after part five.
