Disclaimer : I don't own the characters...
I got inspired to write this story while listening to the song 'where'd you go' by Fort Minor. I don't know if the idea is that original since a lot of authors may have written these kinds of fics but in my opinion it get's kind of hard to come up with something original and new. Not only because there over a twenty thousand fics posted int he sailor moon catogory but also because I think we all get inspired by things we see or things we go through ourselfs. Anyway I hope people will take their time to read this fic and let me know what you all think, I'd be happy to know. Also i'm aware of my spelling and grammar mistakes but as I said in my former fics, my spelling is improving at the moment and the fact I'm using another computer (which has no grammer or spelling check) I cannot see what I did wrong...When I'm able to use my own computer again I will start looking for my mistakes, until then I can only hope you won't try to let those mistakes bother you too much. Well enough of my ramblings now, please enjoy...
This story will have a total of three parts...
Part One: Prologue
Love Lessons
The escape
A small blonde sat on the couch staring at the tv screen. There was nothing special she wanted to watch, she wasn't even watching to the moving pictures on the television. It was just that she simply felt alone. The sound of the television helped her to get her mind off of things that shouldn't matter. Two years ago on the age of sixteen she married the man she truly had loved all her life. But just like in all stories of the married woman, everything went fine until...
Until the day he got a new job offer which he had greatfully accepted. The blonde, at first had been very happy for her husband. Finally he would get the credit he deserved. But like all hard working husbands, work became his first love. Now he hardly was home and when he was all he did was just kiss her and then go to bed without saying anything else. Many nights Usagi had wondered where he was at the moment. Here she would sit while he could be anywhere. Maybe with another girl, maybe just partying with his friends but frankly, Usagi didn't care anymore. When they married he promised to be there for her at all times. But lately, no not lately. For one year straight he hadn't lived up to that promise. He had promised to call her everyday when he would be in the abroad but after a few days the phone calls just stopped and when the blonde would call him to ask how everything was going he would just hang up on her. Saying the same words over and over again : 'Sorry honey but i'm busy at the moment, i'll call you tonight.' Ofcourse, he never called.
The blonde eightteen year old had often wondered what life would've been like if she hadn't married Mamoru Chiba. That was his name, at first no one had ever heard about him. Now he was the most famous lawyer you could find in Tokyo. Going back to the thought of what would've been if she hadn't married him, she would've been free and able to do what she wanted to do and not having to worry about her husband being in possible danger. No it had been enough of these thoughts. She should've listened to her parents when she told them about her engagement with Mamoru. They told her they were too young and not aware of what was out there waiting for them. As always fate decided to give her parents the final and right words.
But who would've expected this. They might have been young but their whole future had been planned out. They would marry and become a happy couple. They would have one daughter who they would raise to be the most beautiful girl in the world. They managed to stick to one thing thay had planned out. They did marry, but right after their marraige a lot of things went wrong already. Usagi didn't feel like racalling all the things had had went wrong because it often made her wonder even more why she still was sitting here hoping that maybe he would come home today.
Mamoru loved her, there was no doubt in that. He had never cheated on her or raised his voice once towards her. He had been nothing but nice and so had she. That was were it had gone wrong. If she had just told Mamoru not to leave her so many times, if she had told him just for once how she missed him and how it hurted her to be apart from him so many times. She would only see him twice a week. it had hurted her at first, now she had gotten used to it. But even if she was used to seeing him so less it still didn't mean she was okay with it. Not at all. Actually tonight was the night she would finally do the right thing, atleast what she thought was right. She would pack her suitcase and finally leave this place. Leave everything behind, the loneliness, the pain but most of all the love she had lost.
''You're gong aren't you Usagi-sama?'' Suddenly a voice asked causing the small blonde to jump up and turn around to face their maid. She was going to miss that little old but funny lady. Somehow Nicole had always seemed to understand her wheter is came down to love or emotions, Nicole had always been there for her and it was ofcourse no suprise that she had figured out now that it was Usagi's time to leave.
''I'm afraid so.'' Usagi whispered while looking down at her hands.''I hate to leave like this but i'm afraid that if I tell Mamoru this isn't working i'll end up staying and believing his promises about that things will indeed change. I know they can change but I also know he doesn't want things to be different. I'm sure he's quite happy right now.''
Nicole just nodded. ''I understand that but i'm sure going to miss you. Mamoru isn't the type to have nice talks with. I'll miss that the most. At my age people aren't interested in what I have to tell them but you Usagi-sama, you've always seemed to care about me.'' A tear slide down Usagi's face. Leaving this place would really have it's negative sides too. Nicole wasn't just a maid, she was the mother Usagi had lost after she married Mamoru but Nicole was also her best friend for that matter. And good friends like that were hard to find.
With that Usagi switched off the television and walked over to the old woman who dropped the bucket she was holding to give the blonde a tight hug.''Don't cry Usagi-sama i'm sure you'll find true happiness with someone who will spend every moment of his life spoiling you and showing you how much he cares. Everyone makes mistakes, though I have to admit Mamoru was a big mistake.'' The old lady spoke as Usagi tightened her grip on the old lady. She was on the edge of laughing and breaking down in to tears at the moment. She had no idea where she would go or how she would get there but she was determined to get happy again, to fill the emptiness that had replaced the love in her heart.
After a while of just holding eachother tight and crying Usagi pulled away from the old lady and handed her a white envelope.''Give this to Mamoru when he get's back and please tell him i'm sorry I won't be waiting for him this time. Also let him know how terribly sorry I am for leaving him without saying goodbye.'' As she had spoken the last words Usagi placed a kiss on the maid's head and started to walk towards the door without saying anything else. Nicole understood that at the moment, the blonde wasn't able to say anything anymore. 'Farewell Usagi-sama, I wish you well...'
-------
When Usagi reached the busstation she noticed she had forgotten to give Nicole some extra money, ofcourse it was too late now to return and give it back to the old woman. With that thought set on her mind Usagi looked down sadly at her suitcase. She knew it wouldn't be long now before the first drop of rain would start to fall. It was the perfect way of ending a terrible day.
''The busses don't drive at this time anymore since the main part of the road was ruined by the storm of last night.'' A voice said causing Usagi to snap out of her thoughts and look up at a raven haired girl in a red car.''I can give you a lift if you want...Just tell me where you want me to bring you.'' She then added when she saw Usagi's red and swollen eyes. It didn't take a genius to find out the girl had been crying.
''I'll wait til the morning.'' Usagi whispered.''But thanks anyway.'' The raven haired girl shook her head in reply.
''Don't be so silly, it's going to rain at any moment...Besides it'll be too cold at night to sit there. Listen if you want to take the bus so badly it's okay with me but atleast let me offer you to stay at my place until the morning, it's not in my heart to leave such a cute girl behind in the cold and rain.'' The woman in the car now spoke while opening the door on the passenger's side.
All Usagi could do was blush at the comment from the raven haired girl abouth er being cute before nodding and standing up. The other seemed to be pleased with this because she moment Usagi stood up from where she had been sitting a smile appeared on her face.''Great, my name is Rei Hino...What's yours?''
''Usagi Ch...Usagi Tsukino.'' The blonde answered forgetting for one moment she wasn't no longer going to live with his last name. Rei simply nodded as Usagi stepped in the car and closed the door behind her. She wasn't the type to step into a car with a total stranger but there was something about the raven haired girl that made Usagi feel at comfort.
------
''Where are you going Mamoru-san ?'' A guy dressed in a black tuxedo asked the black haired man who was about to walk out of the door. Mamoru turned around to look at his partner with a smile.
''Tomorrow is my wife's birthday, I have to go home. You know I haven't spend much time with her this past year but now we finally have this guy locked up after nine months it's time for me to make up with our missed time.'' Mamoru answered.
His partner just rolled his eyes. ''I'm using my job here exactly for that reason. You know the chick I married five years ago? Well ever since we've been together she hadn't stop eating. People all assume I married to a pig. But if you want to go to your wife while you can have fun here..go ahead.''
Now it was Mamoru's turn to sweatdrop and to roll his eyes. ''Your way of having fun is drinking and spending all the money you make on hookers.'' He stated causing his partner to almost choke in his coffee.
''Now that's not true and you know it. You forgot the add gamble to that list.'' He joked even though it was the truth.
''Well whatever makes you happy my friend.'' Mamoru said.''But I love my chick, I'd rather die than cheating on her.''
''You're no man.'' The brown haired man said as he tried to wipe away the coffee stains on his shirt. ''Besides I'm shocked your chick is still with you. If I were here and my husband would leave for work everytime i'd be outta the house already.'' He paused when he saw Mamoru was about to make a statement.''And don't start about my wife, She wants to run away and leave me but she can't...''
''You threathened her?'' Mamoru asked curious.
''No...'' The brown haired man stated. ''As a matter fo fact, the only reason why she's with me is because she's too fat to get off the couch and to pack her stuff.'' At this moment Mamoru bursted out into laughter. He could still remember how happy his partner had beena bout marrying this girl, now all he did was talk about how he had married a piggy.''I'm serious.'' He added causing Mamoru only to laugh harder. But to be honest, he didn't feel like laughing anymore all of a sudden.
''Is something wrong?'' His partner asked concerned when he noticed Mamoru had suddenly stopped laughing and looked like he had seen a ghost.''You look pale. Maybe you should sit down for a little while, i'll get some water.'' He said as he wandered off.
The black haired man just did as he was told and sat down on the chair behind his desk. A minute ago he had felt fine but now he felt like someone had ripped his heart out as if something bad happened. He wasn't sure but he had this feeling he couldn't explain in his stomach. It was like that feeling you feel when you are mad at someone or jealous. Maybe it was the sushi he had eaten earlier this day but somehow he knew his life had changed. He had to call Usagi quickly, maybe something had happened to her.
To be continued..
