Past Mistakes
Chapter 14
(Duo?s POV)
After the incident at the caf?, I decided it was best for Hilde and I to get some fresh air and forget about Heero and Relena?s problems. We were both walking downtown, thinking to ourselves. So much has happened in the last 4 hours. Something that didn?t even concern Hilde and I. But yet we felt that we both were to involve to leave it alone.
?Duo, do you actually think those two will eventually make up?? Hilde asked quietly. ?Or at least talk to each other again??
Taking hold of her hand, I squeezed it gently. Looking up, I noticed there wasn?t a single cloud in the sky. It was a beautiful day, just like the forecasters has predicted. I would thought that there would be gray clouds spreading through out the city, giving way for showers. A day that would fit our moods perfectly. Isn?t that how it always is when you read a book and the characters were having a horrible day?
?Of course they will make up,? Hilde continued.
Looking down at her petite form I listened carefully. ?Those two have to make up. They love each other too much to just throw it away because of some stupid misunderstanding. They will?.?
Watching her carefully, I took noticed of her confidence. She looked so positive. Maybe this was what had attracted me to Hilde to begin with. She was the one person who I met that never gave up on something she was dedicated to. She was so carefree at the same time.
Looking up, I started to think positive as well. ?Of course they will. It?s just going to take some time however.?
Feeling her eyes staring at me, I continued. ?I known Heero for many years. People always wondered how we became the best of friends. We both have personalities that are different from each other. People considered him as the kid with the cold heart while I was known as the kid with the heart of laughter.?
Turning to face her, she nodded in agreement. ?I suppose I too did think like that when I met the both of you. I had big doubts that you two were friends at all.? Hilde responded slowly. ?But then I noticed something. The both of you have something in common. The both of you care about life and people in ways that other people don?t.?
Smiling gently, we continued to walk on. ?But I never heard the real Duo Maxwell sound so serious as well,? Hilde commented a moment later. Stopping abruptly, I felt a pull on my arm. ?Duo?? she asked cautiously.
?We both balanced each other out.? I whispered quietly. Looking down, I concentrated hard on a old piece of gum that has been stepped on so many times.
Feeling her stepped in front me, she quickly gave me a tight hug. Digging herself into my chest. ?I noticed,? she whispered into my ear. ?Since the first moment I saw you two, I noticed a guy who took life seriously and another guy who took life lightly. Once I got to know you and Heero, I realized that you both in the end help each other get through life by leaning on each other.?
Wrapping my arms around her waist, I dug my face into her neck. ?I?m glad I had a chance to met you Hilde.?
?Likewise Duo.?
Stepping away from my body, she smiled slowly at me. Looking directly into her eyes, I replied seriously, ?From experience, Heero isn?t the type who will be willing to run back and apologize for his actions. However, he might be stubborn but he isn?t stupid.?
?That goes for Relena as well.? Hilde said. ?The issue at hand is which one is going to make the first move to say something.
Feeling a tad bit better, I answered, ?Well we got them together to begin with. So a little push from us wouldn?t cause any harm.?
Hearing her laugh out loud, I felt a smile appearing on my face as well. ?You are 100 percent correct Duo.?
????????????...................................................................................
(Hilde?s POV)
We continued to walk and talk.
?You know, there is something that I always been meaning to ask you,? Duo said.
?Oh really,? I replied lifting my eyebrow up.
?Well you know the story on how Heero and I became friends. Yet I never found out how you and Relena came to be friends.? Duo answered back.
Stopping in front of a electronics store, I turned to face him. ?To tell you the truth, we first met at the Therapy Center about three years ago. And we only became friends after that. Nothing special.? I replied back.
?I see.?
Watching him carefully, I noticed that he had frowned at my answer. ?What is it?? I asked carefully.
?I would had though you guys were friends much longer than that,? he replied solemnly.
It was then I realized something. ?I wasn?t there five years ago. I didn?t even know Relena that long ago.? Watching him lift his head up, I continued. ?And there are times I do wish I was there for her. She seemed so strong during the morning hours but when night came along and she no longer needed to put on a positive face in front of her patients?? I stopped for a second and frowned.
?Hilde?? Duo asked cautiously.
Turning to face him slightly I smiled. ?Relena is a strong person Duo. But I worry about her sometimes. Because everyone has a weak point.? Turning to face the Tvs through the stores window I watched the newscaster talk about the horrible hurricane in the Caribbean. ?But there are times when I know Relena lies about her past.?
?Lies? What kind of lies??
?It just feels like that she isn?t telling me the whole truth of her past. Like she hides the truth from me and everyone else.?
?Maybe it hurts her to tell people about her past.? Duo replied while holding onto my shoulders. ?I mean, Relena seemed to have had a hard past. Its just probably not easy for her to go around and telling everyone the truth of her past mistakes.?
?Your probably right.? Lifting up a hand, I gently grabbed hold one of his hands on my shoulder.
Just then, I noticed the new bulletin on one of the TVs. Listening carefully, I waited. Feeling Duo tug a little on my shirt, I quickly pointed to the television.
?I repeat, all time tennis champion player, Jeremy Sparks has just been found dead in his local apartment. Police stated that it seemed like Sparks has been murdered by some sort of gunman. Neighbors had also stated that they heard a shot and breaking glass which shortly after followed a scream from a female visitor?? the newscaster said.
?Isn?t Jeremy Sparks the guy,? Duo started but stop when I nodded my head and held up my hand.
?Once the neighbors were able to knock down the door, they stated that Jeremy was lying on the floor with a bullet through his head. Standing right in front of Mr. Sparks was a honey-blonde girl.?
?Relena,? I whispered.
?Why was she over there in the first place.? Duo asked.
?About five minutes later, a mysterious phone caller had reached Spark?s home in asking for the honey-blonde girl. In which had responded and moments later dropped the phone and ran out of the apartment. It is at this point that Police are searching for this young lady in search of some questions connecting to Jeremy Spark?s murder.?
?Hilde?? Duo spattered as I started to run.
Relena Dorlain Peacecraft. What exactly have you been hiding from me? You once told me that you were in a serious relationship with Jeremy Sparks. However, when you became pregnant with his child, he had abandon you. So you raised April alone. But out of the blue, Jeremy reappears. He comes and offers help to raise April now. But lastly, someone killed him for a reason.
Someone wanted Jeremy out of the picture.
And some how I have a gut feeling you know who this someone is.
What exactly are you hiding Relena. What secret are you hiding that you have no desire to tell.
Something is catching up to you Relena and now your freaking out about it.
And I?m going to find out what exactly you are hiding. If it?s the last thing I do.

Author?s Notes:
Yes I know, it?s short. Sorry about that. But I didn?t know what else I should add to the chapter. I just wanted to focus of Duo and Hilde separately. I do hope you enjoyed that chapter and please review and tell me what you thought about it. So does anyone have any idea what exactly is going on?
In addition, I?m going to redo the first beginning chapters again. So I?ll try to get those done as soon as possible. And I?ll try and get chapter 15 up as soon as possible. But it?s going to take some work now with school and sports.
And then I want to say thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter
xoxo
