The Moon and the Stars

Epilogue

Dear Diary,

I'm in college now. It's been a long time since I've written, but a lot has happened. As soon as I told my mom what happened with John, she kicked him out no questions asked. She decided to move us out of that old house because she believed it held too many bad memories. Life in my new town has been great but I miss Heero a lot.

After we parted that night I talked to him on the phone and Heero told me his mom overdosed on drugs and had to be taken to the emergency room. We've exchanged a few letters since that phone call but I haven't seen him since that night. I miss him terribly, but even without him by my side I'm a stronger person because of him. Before he stopped writing, he said he would be working and that his mom had been doing ok in rehab. I wish him the best and I don't regret anything that happened in those days. I just wish I could see him one day, one more time. And somehow I know our paths will cross again.

Relena

"Hey, Relena!" A voice yelled.

"Hey Duo." Relena replied to the voice that called to her. A young man, taller than her ran over to her with his long braid flapping behind him. He caught his breath after running to her where she waited for him in front of her dorm building. He smiled widely at her and said,

"I'm so nervous. I don't know how to tell her." They walked into the dorm building.

"Duo, don't worry about it too much. Just tell her what you feel in your heart. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be, no regrets." Relena encouraged her friend and he laughed.

"You're the book on love and destiny, aren't you." He exclaimed and she laughed at that. They discussed their topic of love all the way to her room, but they stopped at the door. Relena looked down to see a little bear with a bow around its neck seated on the floor against the door. She picked it up and upon seeing her name on the bear, she flung the door open. "Who is it from?" Duo questioned her but he got no response.

"Hilde," Relena said scaring her roommate, Hilde, with her urgency. "Did you see who left this?" Relena questioned showing Hilde the bear she held. Hilde shook her head no and looked at Duo, confused. Relena ran to the open window, the light spraying in from outside and onto her as she neared it. She put her hands to the glass and searched out of it for an answer.

Relena caught her breath.

His short brown hair was caught by the wind swaying calmly as the grass does. His slim back was facing her walking away into the distance but still close.

"Heero," she breathed to herself. Relena turned quickly, her hair whipping around and flowing behind her like a cape as she ran out of the room past her puzzled friends. She ran down the hall to the stairs and she thought to herself,

"I can reach you. I can still reach you."
