It Happend to Me- Chapter One
No one saw it coming; no body knew what was going on. They couldn?t see what was happening to her when no one else was around. None of the pilots; not her brother or his wife; none of her best friends; nor her staff or co-workers could see it. And the people who really should have noticed it ? her husband and the man she loved- would have told you nothing was wrong.
It started on her wedding night to a fellow politician- James Hannish. Their marriage would better align a few of the colonies, so naturally- Relena consented. Though, she never did lose hope in Heero returning to her and she never stopped loving him. The wedding had been large and nationally broadcast. Large and extravagant, most likely displayed on every television in the ESUN; Relena had felt like a fool. Her dress was large, long sleeved, and pure white. While exchanging vows, James?s eyes never met hers nor did he touch her in anyway. And when the priest told him he could kiss the bride, he lifted the veil and turned to wave and face the audience. She?d barely kept her tears in check.
Later that night he?d taken her to their suite at one of the most luxurious hotels. Wide eyed, Relena glanced around; two bedrooms, two baths, a sitting area, and a small kitchen. A miniature feast had been laid out and the beds turned down; the comforters removed and the white sheets crisp and ready to be laid upon. But, when she turned to thank him, he was already in a room- tapping away at his laptop. Relena stood in the doorway, watching him move. Without looking up, James told her that she was to help herself to whatever she wished and her room was across the way.
Quickly she changed from her dress and threw on a pair of sweats and a tank top. Brushing the curls from her hair, Relena clipped it up, away from her face. She slid down the door and sat, crumpled up on the floor when she noticed the mini bar. Curious, she looked through the various snacks and opened the refrigerator. Expecting a few cans of coke, she found many little bottles of alcohol. Gin, rum, beer, and a few she didn?t recognize. Taking them all back to her spot by the door she proceeded to open and drink the contents of an unnamed amber bottle. Finding a sweet release with every swallow, she made her way quickly and efficiently through every bottle. And when the last drop splashed onto her tongue, Relena curled up and passed out onto the floor.
The next morning she awoke, the sunlight streaming in and causing her head to ache something awful. Groaning, Relena sat up and rubbed her bleary eyes trying to focus long enough on the clock to read the time. Finally getting it right she groaned again- 1:30 in the afternoon. Remembering the night before and how the liquor had made her feel so detached she began to search for the bottles that contained the magic liquid. Not finding any, she tried to recall where it was she had put them all. Her memory, as fuzzy as it was, told her she?d left them on the floor next to her, but the floor was clean. Relena finally gave up and slumped against the door and tried to take in her surroundings. A blue and green fluffy comforter was tucked tightly onto the bed. Her brows furrowed, had that been there the night before? She couldn?t remember. Licking her chapped lips, Relena realized that she couldn?t remember much of the previous evening. She remembered feeling hurt and rejected and she? come to her room and found so many bottles of liquor. She recalled drinking a little but after that she drew a blank.
Relena crawled over to the other side of the room to find the mini bar restocked. Smiling slightly she opened one of the new bottles and quickly downed the liquor. She sighed, the wonderful feeling of not thinking returning and it was making her lightheaded and dizzy. Relena grinned and finished off a few more before deciding to greet her new husband and take a bath before drinking anymore that morning. Afternoon, she amended mentally, afternoon.
Standing, she opened the door to find her new husband talking to the young maid clearing their wedding dinner. Well, talking wasn?t the word. It was more; coming onto. Shaking her head, Relena turned back to her room.
Turning both the hot tap on full blast and cold tap on just slightly, she stopped the drain and shut her door. Relena paused to look at herself in the mirror. Hair disheveled and carpet marks on the side of her face, bags under her eyes and smeared make up- Relena wrinkled her nose at her own reflection. Turning off the water, she quickly stripped and sank into the hot water. The steam was relaxing and seemed to undo all the tension in her muscles. Soon, she found it felt as if there were lead weights attached to her eyelids. Closing her eyes, Relena promised herself she?d just rest her eyes.
To Be Continued?
Hi everyone, Jess here again. I think got the idea for this after watching 28 days last week. (I think that?s what it?s called- with Sandra Bullock? Anyway?) and I decided I needed to get it down. I?m actually not even sure if I want to continue it- bad memories. But, I?ll try?
