Author's notes: Ciao, yeah…..Okay for starters this is the first story I've put up on
fanfiction.net. Please review. Flames are great! I'll flame you right back. Let it Be doesn't
belong to me. It belongs to the Beatles (Bow down and Worship) and neither does GW. Oh, Well
I own all their souls.


Guilt

*When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be*

Its blade gleamed in a sick anticipation. His grim blue eyes watched the patterns of light it
caused to ripple off the wall. He ran a gentle finger over it's freshly sharpened edge.
Taking a deep breath he closed his clammy hand around it in one swift movement.
He winced only in the slightest though, his mind screamed out in pain.
Releasing his grip he watched the blade drop to the floor with a dull clatter.
He turned his attention to the deep cut on his palm studying it with morbid
curiosity as thick red blood trickled slowly down his thin arm and off his elbow to join the
knife on the floor. Relena stands behind him. Large white wings wrapped around her body and a
soft white light emanated from her entire being. A single tear falls down to her cheek.

*And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be*

****FLASHBACK****

A ship sailing on silence through the dark glittering space has almost reached earth's
atmosphere. A smaller ship is steadily approaching from it's right. Its only distinctive mark
is the word Freedom written in red across its side.
Gundam 01 is watching from afar not reliseing it as a potential threat. Until, that is, it
raised a single cannon.
Heero races toward the ship but, alas his efforts were in vain; with a single shot the ship
is blown into a thousands of pieces.
Shockwaves ripple through the ever-silent void destroying, in turn, it's attacker.
Heero screams out the name of his beloved but, his voice is just another victim of the
everlasting darkness.

****END FLASHBACK****

Heero sits up guilt coming from his every pour. His body racks as he pushes back the urge to sob. Failing pathetically he draws himself up. Rocking back and fourth on the cold hard floor.
Relena kneels beside him resting her head atop his. Cradling him in her arms,
she wraps her angelic wings around them though, he does not seem to notice.

*Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be*

The large church is packed with hysterical people. Mourning over the loss of their beloved
princess. All of the girl's close friends and family sit in the front except for perhaps the
most important to her. Out sides mountains of flowers and cards surround the church. Some people
light candles and sing prayers. Others have taken to the street rioting and looting. Not wanting
to believe their queen no longer breathes. Relena watches the spectacle in passionate horror.
Her pale blue eyes, glazed and downcast, not wishing to see this monstrosity.

*For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Yeah there will be an answer, let it be

Ah let it be, yeah let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be*

Heero also watches the spectacle. Another wave of guilt passes through him. Picking up the
blade he makes another attempt to drain the feelings from his body. To drain the feelings before
they drown him. Desperation and sorrow consume his battered body as he falls into a black
oblivion. Wallowing with in its depths and allowing conciseness to slip from his grasp. Relena
watches him fall trying desperately to stop him. Her light dulling, nearly extinguished by her
tears.

*And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom let it be*

Heero's front door bursts open and the other pilots rush to his side. Quatre is quick to call
an ambulance as the others try to stop the scarlet lake upon the floor from increasing. Relena
stands back, her white dress covered in blood. Her lover's blood. Her tears mix with his blood,
as if they had always been one.

* Yeah let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah let it be

Oh, there will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Ah let it be, yeah let it be*

Heero lies motionless in a sterile hospital room. Still trapped in a mental prison. His arms
bandaged in thick layers of gauze. Relena stands over him, resting her head beside his.

*Whisper words of wisdom*

She speaks 3 simple words into his ear and kisses him softly. Waking suddenly, he kisses her
back. And with a wave she disappears forever in a flash of brilliant white light. Her voice
echoes in his ears as he repeats her last words.

*Let it be*
