Past Mistakes
Chapter 13

(Heero?s POV)

How could she do this to me? I actually thought she was different from the rest. I actually thought she cared for me. But then again, I was wrong again.

This is so irritating. Why is it that every time I put my heart out, a girl decides to back stab me in the heart. I?m better off staying as a heartless person. It?s less painful that way.

Walking through the park I decided to take a rest on a nearby bench. I also consider it to be more peaceful to watch people walk by.

Digging my face into my hands, I thought about the past.

Ever since my mother left my father when I was young, I became more depended on myself. My father would always leave me alone for business trips. There were times when he didn?t even return for more than a month.

Sure my father was wealthy. Many kids at school only wanted to be friends with me because of my last name. Yuy industries was one of the most competitive companies out there who sell electronics all over the world. But I never took much interest in the business like my father would have liked me to. Especially considering the fact that I had no other siblings to take over the business.

It was one day after school, I noticed a group of kids playing in the tennis courts. It was then, when I became interested with the sport. Playing tennis was a way for me to release the building of tension and anger that grew within me everyday since I was a child.

Smiling to myself, I could remember the exact reaction my father made when I told him I wanted to become a professional tennis player and didn?t want to take over the family?s business. That was probably the first time he ever said that many words to me in a conversation. I was actually surprised that he had so much vocabulary in his system.

He even surprised me more however. He didn?t cut me from the family?s fortune like I thought he was going to do. He eventually accepted my wish and inform me that a spot in the company will be forever there, if I change my mind.

My father was a good man. He just wasn?t cut out to be a father.

?Is that you, Heero?? a female voice asked.

Looking up from my hands, I looked in the direction of the voice. The last person I suspected to see was waving her hands at me and walked over towards me.

?Dorothy?? I whispered.

????????????............................................................................................

(Relena?s POV)

Opening the door to my apartment, I walked over to the kitchen counter. Checking for any new messages, only to be disappointed that there was none.

Of course Relena, Heero just yelled at you for betraying him and saying he never wanted to see you ever again. Of course he was going to call and apologize.

Why did I have to go off and screw everything up? Why didn?t I just listen to Hilde and not go.

Why did Jeremy have to become such a considerate person!

Falling down upon the couch, I started to cry. What am I going to do?

Getting up, I grab toward the cordless phone on the coffee table. Dialing mother?s number, I waited.

?Hello??

?Hey Mom, it?s me,? I replied back.

?Relena, sweetheart, I thought you were going to pick April up this morning.?

?I was but I got carried away with time. Do you mind if she spends the night over there. I have to head to the office and take care of something later on.? I said.

?Sure. And Relena.? my mother began.

?Yes.?

?I?m hear if you need to talk.?

Smiling, I replied, ?Thanks Mom. Goodbye.?

?Goodbye.?

Grabbing my things, I decided to walk to the office and check if there was any work left undone. Might as well try to get my mind off this.

????????????............................................................................................

(Heero?s POV)

?It?s been awhile since we last talk Heero,? Dorothy replied sitting down next to me.

?It?s not like we don?t see each other every day,? I mumbled quietly under my breath.

Seeing her smiling from the corner of my eye she continued to talk, ?I know what your thinking. You were as much surprised as I was when you first walked into Miss. Relena?s Physical Therapy Center. And as we know, we got off in bad terms.?

?You can say that again,? I mumbled again.

?And as I can see, you?re the same heartless jerk you always been,? she replied sarcastically.

Narrowing my eyes, I got up from the bench. ?I don?t need this Dorothy. Especially from you.? I replied calmly.

?Of course, the great Heero Yuy, doesn?t need anyone. What happened Heero, did Relena finally realize the real you?? Dorothy asked, her voice growing darker.

Feeling the anger rise, I turned to face her. ?And what exactly do you know about the relationship I have with Miss. Peacecraft. Actually wait don?t answer that. If you must know, Miss. Peacecraft is helping me recover from my accident. That?s all there is to us.? I answered.

?I see, so the rumor is incorrect then. You and Miss. Relena aren?t a couple then??

?Not any more.?

Looking up at me, Dorothy smirked. ?So there was a relationship. What happened Heero.? Patting the spot next to her, she waited.

Sitting back down, I started to explain everything.

????????????............................................................................................

(Relena?s POV)

Looking around, I took notice that no one was around. Then again, it is a Sunday. Walking towards my office, I opened the door and quickly stepped in. I slowly walked around the office and stopped in front of my desk. Gently I picked up the picture of April. ?If people only knew the real truth.? I whispered quietly, placing the picture back to it?s original spot.

Sitting on the edge of the desk, I looked around the room. Signing out loud, I started to wonder. How did I ever get myself into this situation. Why must my past haunt me so? Why did I even get involve with him.

I was so lonely back then.

And I?m still lonely now.

Was it even worth it? Turning my head around, I looked down upon April?s picture. Feeling tears falling, I wiped them away with my hand quickly.

So much has happened. So many lies have been said. So much pain has been caused. And so much damaged has been done.

Getting up, I decided it was time to tell Jeremy the truth. Shaking my head gently, I disagreed. It was time to tell everyone the truth. Even if it means I lose everything I ever held dearly.

????????????............................................................................................
(Heero?s POV)

Noticing Dorothy frown, I turned away.

?That doesn?t sound like Miss. Relena at all,? she responded.

?Well I saw it with my own eyes, Dorothy,? I said back, getting up from the bench.
Feeling her grab my arm, I looked down at her.

?At this moment, I don?t know what to say or tell you Heero,? Dorothy started, ?But I also caused you so much pain, back then too.? I took noticed of her eyes. They soon started to water.

Pulling her up, I smiled. ?But just like me, you too been through too much pain cause of me,? I said, pulling her in for a hug. ?And in return, we both lost something special to us.?

Feeling her tears wetting my shirt, I pulled her away.

?Heero, if I could go back through time, I would have stopped myself from pushing you away. Then just maybe, we could have saved her together.?

?Don?t blame this all on yourself. Remember, I?m the one who gave up on us long ago. If I just didn?t listen to your father, then none of this would have happened.?

?Your wrong Heero,? Dorothy answered sadly. Pushing away from me she continued, ?With or without my father, we would still would have separated from each other. We aren?t meant for each other?? Taking hold of my arms, she smiled, ?and we both knew it.?

?Dorothy,? I whispered gently.

?You love Relena,? Dorothy said quietly. Shaking my head, I opened my mouth. But stopped, when she placed her fingers on my mouth. ?Your giving up to quickly, Heero.?

Looking into her eyes, I knew she what she was saying was true. I was giving up too easily. ?Even if we were to become a couple again, it would never work. I moved on Heero,? she whispered again.

Nodding my head, I agreed. ?We both had. Our old chemistry is in the past. And it should stay in the past. You had moved on with Relena and I had moved on with Quatre Winner.?

?As in out old friend Quatre?? I asked surprisingly.

Nodding her head, I smiled. ?Congratulations Dorothy. I?m happy you found someone that you truly love.?

?Thank you Heero. But you can?t just give up Heero.?

?Even if I put aside what I saw in the caf? today, she won?t forgive me for yelling at her,? I replied seriously.

?Your talking about Miss. Relena. She is the most forgiving person your ever going to met, Heero.? Noticing my face of doubt, she started to walk down the path, pulling my hand along. ?Heero, you can either chose two different paths. The path that has been walked by many cause it?s short and easy. Or the one that hasn?t been walked by many cause of it?s longer and has much more obstacles.?

?I don?t understand,? I said looking at her carefully.

Stopping at the front of the gates of the park she turned to face me and smiled. ?The path that has been walked my many is the one you decide to give up all hope on the relationship you once had with Relena. That you prefer to be alone and not taking the risk of finding out what might have happened if you did tried,? she said taking in a breath before continuing, ?Or you can choose the path that hasn?t been walked by many. Which is to find Relena and apologize for reacting the way you did. And with this path, you will encounter the answers you want.?

Thinking of my possibilities, I quietly debated.

It was a minute later, when I finally made my decision.

????????????............................................................................................

(Relena?s POV)

Walking down the hallway towards Jeremy?s apartment, I quietly thought of ways to tell Jeremy the truth. But none seemed to be right. Stopping in front of the apartment, I knocked quietly on the door. Maybe he won?t be home.

Hearing footsteps on the other side, I cursed. Maybe not.

Seeing the door opened, Jeremy politely invited me in. Looking around, I noticed how clean his apartment was. Everything seemed to be the same, since the last time I been here.

Walking towards the window, I looked down towards the streets. Jeremy?s apartment was on top floor of a eight floor building. And just across from it, was a identical apartment complex. Turning around, I faced Jeremy.

Both looking serious, I knew it was now or never. But I had to apologize for that morning.

But I would always regret for noticing the two men on top on the twin apartment across from Jeremy?s apartment window.

????????????............................................................................................

(Heero?s POV)

?Heero?? Dorothy asked unsurely.

?I made my decision,? I answered back, positive. Looking at me carefully, she waited. ?I?m taking the path that hasn?t been walked by many.?

Smiling, she jumped into my arms. ?I knew you would make the right choice Heero.?

Stepping away from me, I nodded. ?Thank you for helping me Dorothy.?

?It?s the least I could do for everything I made you go through. And Heero.?

?What is it?? I asked.

?I will find out who tried to kill you that day. And I will find out who took her away from us too. I can promise you that.?

Smiling I nodded. ?And you won?t be alone. I will help you look as well. I can promise you that also.?

Saying goodbye to each other, I decided I should walk towards Relena?s place first.

????????????............................................................................................

(Original POV)

Watching Heero walk away, Dorothy stood next to the gates. Turning to the side, she waited for the blonde stranger to step out.

?That was a good thing you just did right now Dorothy,? Quatre replied smiling.

Walking towards him, she nodded her head, looking in the direction that Heero just walk in.

?It?s the least I could do for him Quatre. But it?s up to him, if he wants to save his relationship with Relena.?

Agreeing with her, they both walked towards their nearby car. Continuing their search for the truth.

????????????............................................................................................

(Relena?s POV)

?Do you want to sit down?? Jeremy asked, while pointing toward the couch in the middle of the room.

?No this is fine,? I replied smiling a little.

?Okay?? he answered slowly.

Taking a deep breath, I looked straight at Jeremy. ?Here goes nothing.? I mumbled quietly. ?Jeremy, about April.?

Looking carefully at me, he nodded. ?Jeremy Sparks, April isn?t your daughter!? I shouted quickly.

Seeing his eyes become larger, I noticed he took the news better than expected.

?But I thought you said you were pregnant with my child?? he asked slowly.

?I was but?? I started but stopped.

?Jeremy, April isn?t even my??

Before I had a chance to finish my sentence, I heard the glass shattered behind me and a little breeze as something came flying next to my face.

One moment Jeremy was standing in front of me while the next he was lying on the floor with a bullet in his head. All I could do was scream.

Scream like there was no tomorrow.

Jeremy?s neighbors started to bang at the door. Not able to move, I stood there. Eventually, someone was able to break through the door and people came tumbling through. I heard shouting and people rushing everywhere. But I still didn?t budge from my spot.

A phone was heard in the background. A lady slowly walked up and asked me if I was Relena Peacecraft. Nodding my head, she handed me the cordless.

Bring up the phone to my ear, I waited.

?Now, now Relena. Why must we tell people about our little secret? Don?t you remember the number one rule was? No one finds out and no one gets hurt.?

?Why?? I mumbled quietly, as I felt the tears falling.

?I?ll be watching Relena. No more mistakes Relena. Cause next time I won?t be so nice,? the voice responded, while hanging up.

?Miss? Are you alright?? a neighbor of Jeremy?s asked me.

Letting the phone dropped I shook my head. ?Nothing will ever be alright.? I responded, running out of the apartment.

?Miss wait! You have to wait for the police!? a voice shouted after me.

?Nothing is going to be the same. Nothing,? I shouted as I continued to run.

?The past is finally catching up and there?s not a damn thing I can do about it!?
