Life's Sweet Lies: Prologue

[darklord22]

A/N: This is the sequel to Life's Bitter Truth so if you havn't already you might want to read that. The song is called Love On The Rocks and its koRns cover of a Neil Diamond song. You know what to do, Read and Review.

Love on the rocks
Ain't no surprise
Just pour me a drink bitch
And I'll tell you some lies
Had nothin' to lose
So you just sing the blues all the time

Heero bent down to snort another line of cocaine. He didn?t do the drugs to forget, he had alcohol to do that. He did the drugs to stay awake, to keep the dreams at bay.

Gave you my heart
Gave you my soul
You left me alone here
With nothing to hold
Yesterday's gone
Now all I want is a smile

The dreams of her. They kept coming like a hurricane in his mind. Plummeting his thoughts into the darkest corners of the abyss. Yes, it was better that he didn?t remember her. Better for him and everyone else.

At first, they say they want you
They really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
And when they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song

He had given in to Une?s request and agreed to guard this new bitch. But it still didn?t help. She was nothing like Relena. Not his Relena at least. Now there was just a hole gaping wide open in his heart, and he knew everyone could see it.

You need what you need
You can say what you want
Not much you can do
When the feeling is gone
Maybe blue skies above
But it's cold when your love's on the rocks

Everything in his life had been going down hill since that one day. His last day with her. It was funny because in a way the time they spent on that prison floor confessing themselves to each other had been the realist and most heart felt moments of his life. But now then, between the alcohol and the cocaine and the brutality of his side job as a killer for Colonel Une, he couldn?t even remember what it felt like to have a heart.

At first, they say they want you
How they really need you
Suddenly you find you're out there
Walking in a storm
And when they know they have you
Then they really have you
Nothing you can do or say
You've got to leave, just get away
We all know the song

He grabbed the revolver he kept on the night stand and took out all but one of the bullets. Fueled by a combination of cocaine, Jack Daniels, and the left over adrenaline from the day, he decided to play a little game. He spun the chamber once, CLICK, twice, CLILK, and then a third time, BANG.

Love on the rocks
Ain't no big surprise
Pour me a drink bitch
And now cover your eyes
Yesterday's gone
And now all I want is a smile

Someone had knocked on the door. It must be his ?date? for the night. He used the term date lightly as they were really just women he would fuck and then dump. It was another way to forget he had ever loved her. He could drown his sorrows in some dumb twat and forget the past. It worked out nicely.

Heero got up to answer the door. But when he opened it he was surprised. It wasn?t the girl he had invited to his apartment earlier but someone else, a rather annoying someone else at that.

?Duo, what the fuck are you doing here??
