The sequel to Tell Me Why
From Relena's POV

Quatre moved aside, and Heero now stood in front of me.

"Heero." I said, using the same cold voice he often did.

He turned to Quatre, and said "Quatre, I think I need to talk to Relena in private."

I watched as Quatre turned the corner, and I heard his footsteps pound down the steps. I faced Heero, and he looked down at me.

"Relena, I'm sorry, I--"

I cut him off. "Sorry for what? for leaving my life a living hell for the last 8 days?!" I caught him by surprise, and shoved him back violently.

"In fact," I started, "You've made my life hell from the very beginning. threatening to destroy me, pulling a gun on me...wait, you did that a couple times." I shoved him again.

"Maybe I should have let Duo shoot you. then the world would be rid of one suicidal murderer." I regretted the last phrase as soon as it left my mouth. for once, Heero showed emotion. he looked shocked, and hurt. he stepped closer to me.

"Relena, I've never meant to hurt you." I moved to shove him away from me, but he caught my arm and held me in place.

"Listen." he said. I struggled with him, fighting to free my arm.

"LISTEN RELENA." I stopped struggling. and stood still. sometimes you don't want to piss Heero off.

"What?" I asked.

"Relena, do you remember what I said the day I took off? the whole perfect soldier thing? I never finished what I was going to say."

I dug my nails into his hand, and he didn't even flinch. I did a roundhouse kick on him, but he dodged, and caught my leg in mid air.

"Let go!" I screamed at him, and pulled away.

"Listen to me Relena," he said. "Do you remember what I said about being the perfect soldier?"

I nodded, and backed away from him, towards the stairs. he advanced on me, and grabbed my shoulders.

"Listen. do you know what I was going to say?" I shook my head.

"I almost said I am the perfect soldier, and you are my only weakness. I left because I didn't want to you to get hurt because of Me."

He pressed his lips against mine roughly. I pulled away from him, shocked, and pissed off.

"Is this how think its going to be?" I yelled at him. "You leave my life a living hell, and expect to show up out of the blue one day, and that makes it all better?! When you leave, it hurts me worse than any physical wounds ever will!"

he looked at me, a shocked expression on his face. his eyes were glazed over, as if he didn't understand what I was trying to say.

"You know what Heero? I do love you. but you WILL NOT do this to me. I will not be your little groupie. I'm sick of your secrets, your suicide attempts, and all the other bullshit you pull." He was still staring at me, dumbfounded. "This time, you can't make it all better." I turned and went into my room, locking the door behind me.

I locked all the windows, too. knowing Heero, he'd try to find an alternate way to me. I laid back on my bed, and closed my eyes briefly. Memories of Heero flickered through my mind. I chose one, and lost myself in remembering it.

We were standing in a hallway of Quatre's mansion, in front of Heero's bedroom door. "Relena, Will you wait for me? I wish I didn't have to leave tomorrow, but... I want something to look forward to coming back to."

"Heero, if you don't want to, don't leave."

"I have to. it's a mission. " I sighed.

"ok. I guess I'll be waiting until you get back." I turned, and started to walk away.

"Relena wait." I stopped, and faced him. he moved in closer to me, watching me hesitantly. One of his arms slid around my waist, and he lowered his lips to mine in a gentle kiss.

I sighed, and sat up. I would always have my memories.
I pulled my suitcase out from under the bed. *God damn you, Heero. you love me, leave me, come back and expect it to be all better. you don't understand a girl. the more her heart breaks, the harder it is to heal.* I walked over to my closet. I pulled the clothes off the hangers, and shoved them into the suitcase. *This time, Heero, there's no going back.* I pulled out my dresser drawers and emptied them into the suitcase. *That was the last straw.*

I took a shower, and put on some clean clothes. but instead of my usual clothes, I put on blue jeans, and a light blue T-shirt. I pulled on some sneakers, and picked up my suitcase. *Time for a new beginning. I'll be independent for once.* I slipped out of my room, and crept down the stairs quietly. I glanced around, and no one was in sight. I ran to the back door, and outside. once I was outside, I took a deep breath. * How could I have stayed in that stuffy room for so long?* I wondered. I looked at the beautiful trees and nature surrounding me. * I think I'm going to like being independent.*
