Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Betrayal's Recovery ❯ Confrontation ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: Confrontation

She stared at his steps for a moment. 'What if it's true?' She shook away the thoughts. 'No, I won't think of that, not unless that's the case, then I'll deal with it then.' She got up her courage and faith in her 'boyfriend' and rang the doorbell. She waited a few moments and heard footsteps. From the window next to the stairs and porch, where she was standing, she saw Duo poke out the window shades to see who it was. He disappeared again, and she heard some voices. As the voices vanished he came to the door with a smile on his face.

"Hey babe" he kissed her quickly on the lips, "What's up"

"Nothing really, just thought I could spend time with a 'friend' today. Your name just happened to come up" 'Oh so what, it was only a partial lie' She observed as sly look came over his features, she knew what he was thinking.

"Oh really, then why don't you come on in, and get comfortable eh?" They both walked into the house, she in front. He looked to his back door slightly as they turned the corner to go down stairs to his basement room.

They entered his room and Duo immediately came up behind her, arms worming their way around her waist. She leaned back into the embrace, as if she wasn't sure what it meant or even if it was real.

Duo noticed her uneasiness, and he in turn became uneasy. 'Does she know?' "Babe, what's wrong, you don't seem yourself" 'Please don't let her know, please don't let her know' his mind repeated.

"Oh Duo, I don't know…I've been hearing things lately…rumors really. No, I don't really believe them, but I just have to make sure. I don't want to get hurt…again"

'Oh no, she's heard. From who though? This is gonna be a bitch to tell her now. God damn, remind me to kill who ever told her!' His mind kept going, 'Ah fuck it, I'll tell her when I'm ready'

"Babe, what have you heard?"

"That you've been ch…" She stopped herself, 'He's not really cheating on me, we're not even an item' "doing things with other girls other than myself"

He plastered a shocked expression on his face, "Oh this is hell' "No way, babe, no one else." He could see the relief wash over her face. "Now, on to 'other' things, eh?"

"Gladly"

Passion and hormones took over and all else was forgotten.

She came home that night, very much relieved, and she felt obliged to call Trowa and tell him how things went. She threw her hoody on her bed and reached for the phone. The phone rang once, then twice, then thrice, and just as she was going to hang up, there was an answer.

"Hello?"

"Hi Trowa"

"'Lena! Uh, hi." She sounded happy, she must've gone to see him, and if she was happy after the fact then she must have gotten good news instead.

"I talked to Duo, Trowa, he says the rumors are wrong" With that, his heart sank, and for two reasons. 'I can't believe he lied to her. Who ever that was that caught his attention, has got a firm grip on it. I'll have to have a talk with him one of these days'

"That's good to hear, I guess I must have seen some one that looked like Duo. Must be a new person in town with long braided hair. I'm sorry I concerned you. Forgive me?"

"Of course." There was no grudging undertone, "Well, I'm going to go, I'll see to you tomorrow" She still felt that need to avoid him. 'I guess I'm just not ready yet'

"Wait 'Lena, we still need to talk"

'Oh no' "What do you mean"

"Why have you been avoiding me so much? Don't lie; I know you well enough to know you have. What happened?" he stopped for a second as he thought of something, "Or did someone say something" he stopped again, "or rather, did Eddy say something?"

She suddenly felt trapped. She then calmed. Trowa was her friend, and a good friend at that and she would never lie to him…anyway, maybe it was good that he'd find out.

"Alright, I won't lie to you… Do you remember that day when I ended up coming over just five minutes after you got home and you made that joke about you thinking I was stalking you? Or when Heero and me were walking up the street by your house to go catch the bus and you had just gotten home and saw us? Or when I had gotten to use my dads cell phone and I called you from down the street from your house to see if you were home, and surprisingly you were, but again you had just gotten home? Well, after those three coincidences you told your girlfriend and Eddy," All of a sudden, she felt very angry. She once again felt that she was being treated unfairly in this matter, "Well guess what? Eddy came up to me and told me you thought I was stalking you and Melissa kept hinting at it." She wasn't done yet, but she paused when she heard him let out a small "oh" as if he just realized some kind of mistake. She began again, "After that I figured, if you think I'm stalking you, then what was the point of hanging out with you. I mean, it's humiliating to listen to someone say that they heard some one, that one being you, say they wanted you to lay off a bit. Well, in any case I did. I'm sorry for crowding you Trowa, you know how I feel -felt- about you-" she was cut off by Trowa. He had a heavy feeling of guilt and remorse…he would have to 'pay' Eddy back for this. 'How could he do something like that to her?'

"'Lena, you don't have to be sorry for anything. You didn't do anything wrong, nothing at all. I'll talk to Eddy and Melissa. I don't know what's wrong with Eddy, he should have know I was just joking around. And, well, as for Melissa…eh, I can't really fix that, I'll talk to her, but that's all I can really do. I'm sorry. I know how you feel," He didn't say felt, she noted, and not with a good feeling either, "and I'll try to fix it"

"Thank you Trowa…" She paused for a moment. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then"

"Hey, before you go 'Lena, do you want to chill tomorrow? We can go to wrestling tomorrow. I'm sure Duo will be there. We can go down and watch for a bit and then hang out at my house." Suddenly the mood of the conversation was lightened into their normal atmosphere of carefree-ness.

"Well…" She drew out the word, "only if I get to either pick the game to play, or pick the movie to watch"

Trowa gave a chuckle, "You drive a hard bargain Miss. Darlian but alright, agreed."

"Great, see you tomorrow Trowa"

"Later"
