Chapter 8 is here. And to my lovely reviewers Kami-Crimson, Lady11Occult, Markanovanlink, SanzoGirl, sparkley-tangerine, and Mizuki hikari thank you once again. This is a very short chapter, but the next one is a lot longer so I need more time to type it, which I'm going to get on right away.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or the characters in any way.

Thoughts are in /…/


Quatre had called Wufei eight more times during the next week to meet up with him and Wufei turned him down every single time. At first Quatre felt defeated. He didn't understand why Wufei was avoiding him. Then he thought it maybe was his presence. It made sense considereing Trowa and Wufei were both acting weird and the only thing Quatre could think of that they had in common was spending time with him.

He shook his head and dismissed that thought many other people spent time with him and they didn't act like they were hiding something. His talk with Trowa didn't really solve anything so he really did need to talk to Wufei, but the last three times Quatre called Wufei and he didn't pick up so Quatre left a message, but Wufei never got back to him. Quatre's patience dwindled once again and he realized that the only way he was going to get answers from Wufei was if he went down to meet him personally.

-2 Days Later-

Quatre walked into the Preventor's building and walked up to the secretary's desk.

"Yes, how may I…Oh Mr. Winner! I didn't know you would be visiting today. How may I help you?"

"Hello, sorry for the unexpected arrival I just wanted to know if Chang Wufei is here. I need to talk to him."

"Oh! Well yes he is here Mr. Winner. ..Should I take you to his office?"

"No that's not necessary. If you could just tell me which way it is I can find my way."

"Oh…well if you are sure…it's the third door on the right on the second floor."

Quatre smiled, "Thank you."

Quatre proceeded to go to the elevator but then decided to take the stairs. Upon reaching the designated floor he walked the couple of feet until he reached room 209. Quatre raised his hand about to knock on the door. He took a deep breathe and switched his hand to the door knob and opened it.

"I thought I always tell you to knock….Oh, its you." Quatre closed the door behind him. "Its curdiest to knock you know." Wufei said as he went back to his paperwork.

"Yeah? Well it's nice to return phone calls Chang Wufei." Wufei inwardly winced at Quatre's tone of voice. "Why have you been avoiding me? Is this about the thing with Trowa the other day because I'm sorry and I told him to apologize. So tell me what's going on."

"I haven't been avoiding you Quatre." Wufei spoke in a calm voice. "I've just been busy that's all."

"That never stopped you before." Quatre said softly. Wufei looked up into the pained face of Quatre and sighed, his heart telling him one thing while his mind said another. Against his better judgment Wufei followed his mind.

"Look Quatre it's nothing like that I'm still here for you."

"Bullshit!" Quatre said as he slammed his fist on the desk Wufei was sitting behind. Wufei jumped slightly at the sudden mode change from Quatre. "You and Trowa are both hiding something from me and I want to know what it is."

"It's…it's not my place to say Quatre. This is something that should be between Trowa and you. I….I never should have been involved."

Quatre looked at Wufei one last time with eyes full of betrayal. He turned his back on Wufei and walked to the door. He turned the door knob and said one last thing. "I thought you were my friend Wufei. I thought I could trust you with anything. But now I see I can't trust you or Trowa." And with that Quatre opened the door, walked out and closed it behind him.

"Quatre wait!" But it was too late Quatre had already left.

/Dammit look what I did. I started this whole thing planning on telling him what I knew hoping to relief his grief and make him happier, with small hope of getting closer to him even more, but now I ruined my chance. He probably hates me now. Dammit, I've got to end this./


Sorry it's so short, but I promise the next chapter will be better. I finally finished high school. My graduation is on Saturday so I'll try to update that Sunday or Monday afterward. Thanks for reading everyone and please review.
