Past mistakes :
Chapter 1
?
?Mommy?? I peeked through a hole I found in my covers and came face to face with April.
?Sweetheart what did I say about waking Mommy up early in the morning? You know I need sleep to have enough energy to handle the grumpy people at Mommy?s work.?
?I know,? she started. I looked at her for a split second and smiled. She was so adorable and she looked so innocent. Even though she was only 5 years olds she had this innocence and kindness that lures everyone around her.
I was by then totally spacing out until I heard April?s last statement. ?But mommy you told me if you ever slept after 8, I was suppose to wake you up.? I stared wide eyed at her.
?What!? I screamed. I looked to my left and looked directly at my alarm clock.
Disbelief over took me. ?Oh my God, its 8:15. I?m going to be late for work!? I shot up from my bed and ran to the bathroom. ?April hunny, do mommy a big favor and choose whatever outfit from mommy?s closet??
?Alright.? Smiling I stepped into the shower. Knowing she loved to chose my clothing for the day. I hurried along in the shower, washing my hair, brushing my teeth, shaving my legs. You know the usually women stuff we do while getting ready. Once I was complete in the bathroom, I walked backed into my bedroom to put on the clothing that April had neatly placed on my bed. Smiling and reminding myself to give a great big kiss of thanks to April.
( 5 minutes later)
?Almost got it in.? I was fully dressed and had my hair combed back in my usual low bun. I was getting my last earring in. ?Done.? Smiling proudly, I looked over to my alarm clock and saw it was 8:45.
I ran quickly to the kitchen. ?April, are you ready?? I grabbed two small cartoons of milk from the fridge and crabbed two cereal bars from the cabinet.
?Yes mommy, I?m already at the door.?
There she was like she said she was. Waiting at the door. I once again smiled at her. Thinking if it wasn?t for her, I don?t know what I would do. I grabbed my coat and keys and checked the mirror one last time. ?Ok April, lets go.?
_____________________________________________________________________
I ran inside as quickly as I could. Looking at my watch. ?9:12, Une is going to kill me.? Not noticing where I was running, I collided with a strong muscular chest. Almost falling down on my butt if it weren?t for the arms that caught me in mid air.
?Whoa there, where?s the fire?? I heard laughing from this stranger. I decided to look up and saw this handsome man with violet eyes and probably a braid that is over a meter long.
?I?m so sorry. However, I must be going. I?m late as it is.? I started to walk away feeling quite embarrass.
?It?s aright, the name is Duo, mind telling me yours before going??
I turned around to face this stranger named Duo and smiled. ?Of course. The name is Relena Peacecraft. Until next time we meet Duo.? I ran into the closing elevator.
Without me noticing or hearing, the stranger Duo whispered quietly to himself,? So your Relena. Well then, maybe we will met again. Hopefully next time I do, I pray my buddy won?t drive you crazy like the other therapist he was with. After all, you seemed like a nice lady. I only pray.? Frowning he exited through the front doors.
_____________________________________________________________________
I came sliding through the office waving at Dorothy at the secretary desk. ?Une?s waiting for you. She doesn?t seem happy. I would approach carefully.?
?I will, thanks for the advice Dorothy.? I slowly walked to Une?s office on the other side of the Room. Noticing Hilde working with one of her clients of the trend mill. I knocked slowly and quietly on the door, praying that maybe she wasn?t in her office. Doubting it by remembering what Dorothy had said.
Then I heard her, ?Come in. The door is open.?
I slowly walked in. ?Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up for work late again.? Une said once she saw my form from the door.
?I know Une, I?m so sorry. I will,? I was stopped when Une raised her hand.
?Relena, your just lucky your one of my best. Plus I understand that it is hard to raise a child on your own. How is April doing these days??
Glad that I was safe I answered Une?s question, ?She?s doing well. She?s at my mother?s right now. If it wasn?t for her, I would be still sleeping in bed right now.? We both laughed, knowing that statement would must likely be true.
?However Relena, we need to get down to business.? I looked up surprised by the serious tone of voice she was using. I sat down quickly and looked directly at her, ready for what ever she has to say.
?I know it?s been awhile since you play tennis, however.? But before she was able to continues I slammed my hands on her desk and got up.
?Whatever it is Une, forget it.? I was about to turn around and leave when she reached out and grab a hold of my hand.
?Relena, you know I wouldn?t ask you to do this.? She started again. However, I didn?t give her a chance to finish again.
?Just like before the answer will be no. When I joined your physical therapy center, there was one thing I asked in return. And that was to never talk about tennis or give me any client that has gotten hurt in tennis or wished to return to the sport.?
?I know that. But this is different. And they need our help Relena.? Une asked desperately.
?What?s so different about this one. Just give them to Hilde like you always do.?
?This is different Relena. This client needs our help and recover from his accident in 5 months. He needs to recover and use his body properly before the championships starts. And you?re the only one that can help. There is no way Hilde can get him ready in the short amount of time. And you know it.?
I looked Une directly in the eye. Seeing her silently begging. Knowing that this client, whoever he is, is important.
?You said 5 months right?? A big breath was released. I didn?t even realized that she was holding her breath.
?Yes only 5 months. It?s been stated that if the client isn?t recovered 100% by the championships then he will redraw from our facility and trained alone for the next one.? Une replied happily. She picked up a file and handed it over to me. I took it hastily.
?You know Une, you owe me big time for this.?
?Yes I know Relena.? Une then said quietly, ?You may withdraw you services anytime you want though. If you start to feel uncomfortable doing this. Then I?ll have Hilde finish working with the client.?
?Thank you. However, you know me Une. Once I start with a Client. I finish off the client alone.? I replied while turning around. Yet before I left her office, I turned around and looked at her. ?When do I get to meet this almighty patient of ours??
Smiling Une replied,? In 2 hours, his going to stop by and get a tour of the building. He requested to start his therapy tomorrow sharply at 8 a.m.
?Great.? I answered sarcastically.
Stepping out of her office I looked down at the file in my hands. Looking upon the name of my new client on it.
Heero Yuy
?This should be interesting.? I thought secretly. ?Alright Mr. Yuy. You want me to be here at 8 o?clock sharp, huh. We?ll we?re going to have a talk about that.? Laughing silently to myself, I started to walk towards my office reading the rest of the file.
?This is going to be a long 5 months.? I thought to myself.
Yet I had no idea what I got myself into??..
