Time After Time

Chapter 1

Hilde Schbieker thought Duo Maxwell loved her until she found out the hard way. After the wars Duo has become abusive and Hilde is hiding it. Now she is on a search to find someone to heal her sorrowful heart. And she did, but now she isn't sure Trowa Barton is Mr. Right or Mr. Wrong.


/I remember when I was little, my big brother and I would go out to the ocean each year, just to see which one of us will make it out more in the sea. We would swim out in the ocean as far as we can go, but I know every time I swam with my brother I knew my destiny would come and I will beat my brother. I haven't beaten him in years until when I was 18 years old, my brother and I did the same thing again swam out to the sea as far as we can go. And this time, my brother wasn't so lucky I have swum out about 6 miles out to sea. I have beaten my brother. I have found my destiny. I now show everyone that I am not a freak, the short one or the one who can't go any taller then 5'2. I now show everyone that I am the champion and always will be nothing is going to knock me down. /


Duo Maxwell worked on the old 1989 black jeep that he had for years and that jeep never failed him until now. As he continued to work on the piece of junk while in the dark of night with the little garage light to keep unwanted guess away. Hilde was inside; she was in her bedroom lying on the bed staring up at the ceiling with stars and planets above her.

/There was a place where I always wanted to go to, a place where my dreams came true, where princess had hair long enough for her prince to climb up and save her. But those kinds of dreams were only in my world the world I made up. The world that I will go to and cry myself to sleep every time my heart hurt. I close my eyes and I can pretend I flying though space on my own but as I open my eyes I wake up to a yelling man that I once trusted/.

Hilde jumped from her bed, as her door flew open. She got to her feet and backed to the wall. And there was Duo with his left hand still on the doorknob and the other to his side. Hilde looked at his eyes and knew that he was mad for some weird reason. Hilde reached for the bat to protect herself from the fist of the God of Death. Duo charged at her and slammed her into the wall. Both of his hands grab hers tightly hurting her bone. "LET ME GO!" She cried out but he didn't listen, Duo pushed her harder into the wall. He freed her hands from his and backed away. From were Duo was standing Hilde can smell the booze like when he was in her face. He was drunk again, Hilde guessed Duo couldn't take the eve wars and the other wars that he had been though very easily. "How many times do I have to tell Hilde, I told you not to come to space, and go onto Libra but you didn't listen." And with that Duo slapped her across the face hard enough to knock to the ground to his feet. Hilde cried out as much as she cried hopefully that someone could hear her. But with the other nights that where like this no one could hear her cry. Duo picked her off the floor and shook by her shoulders. She could feel her bones being bruised and broken from his grip. Duo grinned and pushed her across the room, landing her by the dresser. She bumped into it making her things fall to the floor and brake. Duo stood over as she cried and cried. Duo looked at her face, which blood was drawn from her month and nose.

Duo smiled and left shutting the door behind him. She couldn't stand up she was afraid that he would come back and beat her again, beat her until she was black and blue.

/ I just curled up on the floor and sobbed my little heart out. How could my boyfriend I mean my ex-boyfriend do this to me? He would drink, drink and drink until he was drunk. I tried to fight back but that only made it worse/.


Hilde sat down in the hospital room. She wore long selves and dark eyeglasses to cover up her bruises. As she waited in the room she was trying to think of a way to tell the doctor what happened. She did this before if she told the police they will put her on a protect roll. She knows how Duo can find her and beat her more. She had the hospital room door closed leaving her folder out for the doctor.

A tall finger walked up the door and looked at the folder. "Hilde Schbieker, what is she doing here" Trowa thought as he pulled out the folder and sat down. He placed it on his lap and started to flip though it over and over.

/Trowa was at the hospital to get his blood test done but I had a feeling he was worried sick about me/.

"She had been here many, many times, for bruising, a few broken bones to the wrist and to the leg." Trowa frowned as he looked at the doctor's pictures that the doctor taken of Hide's bruises and broken bones. One picture of her, she is very pale looking, her face as bruised and battered. Only one eye was left open for her to see. Switches went across her upper lip. And then down to her jaw. "Who in the world would do this?" he thought. Trowa couldn't look at the picture anymore he flipped to the next page where the doctor notes are.

It appears that Hilde, was beaten by someone and she won't tell whom, this is her tenth time this month to this hospital if she doesn't tell us who did it and how. We have to put her in state hospital to see if she is doing this to herself or not.

Trowa closed the folder and closed his eyes, he couldn't believe that this was happening to Hilde. Trowa stood up and put the folder back. Trowa quickie sat down as her doctor came up to her door and took her folder. "Not again, I'll have them get her!" he sighed. He opened the door and walked in closing the door tight. Trowa ran to the door and put his ear to it.

"Now Hilde, you have to tell us who is doing this!"

"I can't, he'll hurt me again!"

"But every time you don't tell, you end up with more bruises!"

"But-."

"Hilde, is your roommate abusive has he raped you before?"

Hilde didn't say anything.

Trowa backed from the door as a few men in white suits pushed him aside as they opened the door and closed it when they got in. Trowa turned away, but he suddenly turned back around as he heard her scream no. Trowa ran to the door and opened it. Hilde was struggling against the doctor and the other men. "I am not trying to kill myself!" she cried as they pinned her down. She cried in pain as she hit the tile floor hard on her back. Trowa grew mad. He ran towards the men knocking them out of the way. "Get off her," he punched them left to right knocking the Doctor and the other men out. Trowa closed the door slowly and scanned for Hilde. He heard sobbing from under the bed. He got to his knees and bend over to look under the bed. Hilde backed away quickie more under the bed away from Trowa. "Hilde it is okay to come out" he held out his hand but she backed away. "I threw-up" she cried. The doctors must have drugged her a few times until she threw-up. "Hilde I won't tell anyone you threw-up" he held out his hand closer to her. To Trowa she looked so scared, like a scared child not wanting to come out from their room. "It's me Trowa, I am not going to hurt you!" he smiled.

"Promise!" she said back. "Scouts honor" he held his hand up palm facing out. Hilde took his hand as he helped her from out of under the bed. Trowa helped her to feet; she winced when his hand touches her wrist. "Sorry!" he whispered. He held her close to his chest and let her sob while he whispered gentle words.

/ Trowa Barton was his name, and I was glad he saved me. I don't know if he wanted to do it for his honor but maybe, just maybe for Love. I felt safe as he held me tight letting me sob. I felt something when I took his hand, something powerful something worth wild. Something that I am not ever going to forget, /

Trowa held her for so long, until she fell asleep in his arms. He gently picked her up into his arms and carried her out of hospital. Nurses and Doctors backed away as he walked passed. As he exited out of the hospital he had someone open the back door to his car. As the nurse opened the car door, Trowa laid her down gently on the back seat, took off his coat, and gently placed it on her. "Your going to be alright now" he kissed her forehead and closed the door.

Two hours later Trowa drove up to Quatre's estate manor with Hilde still in his arms fast asleep. "Quatre open the door!" he yelled knocking on the door with his foot. Quatre opened the door and his eyes widen. "Trowa what happened?"

"I need your help, take care of her for a few hours." He placed her gently into Quatre's arms. She was so lite weight. Trowa ran back to his car and pulled out all of her files from the hospital and the police records.

Heero and Quatre walked out of a room shutting the door behind them, and then heading towards the study. In the study hall, Trowa was sitting down on the desk with all of Hilde's files all over the place. "Someone is beating her, but she won't tell who is doing this" he whispered.

"Are all these her files?" Heero questioned. "Yes these all her files."

"When did the beatings start?" Quatre asked.

"After when Duo-,"

"No way, Duo the Duo Maxwell we know!" Heero was shocked.

"It says he has a alcohol addiction" Trowa sighed.

"I am going to make this a 100% chance here," Trowa said again.

"How?"

"We can-," Trowa stopped when a loud crash came from upstairs, along with screaming.

The three men dashed upstairs to Hilde's room and opened the door. Hilde was on the floor crying for some reason. "Hilde!" Trowa dashed to her. As he kneeled down to her she got up and backed away. "No don't hurt me. DON'T HURT ME DUO!" she screamed as she backed up to the wall. Trowa grabbed her shoulders and looked into her eyes. Her pupils were tiny as can be she was having a nightmare while awake. "NO DON'T TOUCH ME!" Trowa didn't see her flying fist towards his face. Trowa backed away from her as she sat down on the floor and cried. Trowa grabbed a blanket and slowly came up behind her. He sat down behind her she leaned onto his chest as he wrapped the blanket around her. "Shhhh...it was just a nightmare it's okay Duo isn't going to hurt you anymore" he kissed the top of he head and held her tight.


The next morning, the three men where downstairs eating breakfast. Hilde was still asleep.

"One of us needs to go over to Duo's and get her stuff." Quatre said. "I'll go!" Hilde said from the doorway. The three men dropped their spoons and eyes widen. Hilde wore a pair of short-shorts and yellow tank top. They saw the traces of bruises down her legs, arms and her face. She walked over to the table and took an apple. Trowa cleared his throat and smiled.

"Your not going!" he said it strong. "Why won't you let me?"

"Duo will be there!"

"How did you find-," she stopped and sighed. "The reason I want to go is because he won't be there. He is at work and won't be back until dark" she firmly said. She got up from the table and walked to the door. "I am going out of for a while, I'll be back soon." she added as she left the house.

/ I was a brave girl, I didn't know why, Trowa, was so worried about me? I guess that power I felt was from him/.


As Hilde walked around the market, she sighed in sorrow. She was trapped, and she can't get out.

/ I didn't know what was wrong with me, mostly I was scared, I was scared to be touch, to be kissed. Maybe if I fought back on Duo I could have not been abuse and rapped/.


Hilde opened the door to her home and quietly walked to her room. Her room was still a mess and she couldn't believe it. Her stuff was knocked off the walls; her class dolls were broken into pieces. Once she grabbed a suitcase she started to grab her things and pack them tightly into the suitcase. Hilde suddenly grew cold something was leaning over her. She quickie turned around and was suddenly grabbed tightly by the shoulders. With his long chestnut hair out of the braid in his white undershirt, and black boxers. He stood in front of her gripping tighter. "LET ME GO!" she screamed. But that didn't do any good Duo gripped gotten tighter.

"I should of done this along time ago!" he smirked. Hilde can smell the booze on him and along with his breath. From outside of the house, no one was able to hear class braking and a young woman crying for help.


"Hilde should have been back by now!" Trowa said as he stood up and shut off the TV.

"Yeah, I know it's already past 2pm!" Quatre replied. "You don't think she could have gone to her home Quatre?"

"Hilde, she is the type of girl who is stubborn. Something must have had happened. It is best if we go to her home first" Heero exclaimed. Trowa looked down at the ground he was feeling scared. If something did happen to her Duo will have hell to pay. If they catch him first, before Quatre and Heero can finish talking Trowa grabbed his gun that was lying on the table and left Quatre's manor.

On the way to her home as fast as he can. It was raining pouring rain and he was honking the car horn over and over for people to get of the way. As he turned to a different street. The traffic was awful, Trowa couldn't take it anymore, and he stopped his car and got out. And spirited to her home.

A few moments later he kicked opened the door and kept the lights off. He held out his gun in front of him. Being stealth as he can be, keeping his back against the wall. He looked upstairs and heard a loud crash. He got mad and ran up stairs. He looked left and right of the upstairs hallway and looked down. There were a few small blood spots on the white carpet. He closed his eyes and held back the tears. He wasn't thinking if this was Hilde's blood. He turned left and followed the trail. From the hallway with the blood trail he can hear the bath and shower running. He followed the blood trail to the bathroom and saw some blood in the tub. He opened the shower door and his eyes widen. Hilde was sitting in the shower curled up at the side no cloths on, she curled up tightly so that Trowa couldn't see anything. With little streams of blood going down her arms and legs. Her face was all battered up again but worse. "Oh god. Hilde!" he cried he shut off the water and grabbed a towel. As he scooped her up in his arms she wrapped her arms around his neck and cried. "Shhh...It's okay I'm here!" he held her naked body wrapped in the towel. He shut the bathroom door with his foot and locked it tight. He got to his knees and held her tight. He looked towards the door as he heard footsteps coming from outside. Hilde started to cry and cry. "Don't let him get me!" she was shaking gripping onto Trowa tight. Trowa shut off the lights. "Shhh!" he whispered he watched the feet of the God of Death walk up to the door and turn the knob. Trowa gulp he held Hilde tighter. Duo mumbling something and then walked off. "I have to get you to a hospital Hilde." he whispered. "No, don't they will think I did this to myself" she was shriving. Trowa grabbed Duo's robe and wrapped it around her. "No they won't, you have to tell them." He whispered. They kept the voice level low so that her ex won't hear her. Trowa reached into his tench coat pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He dialed 911 and Heero.


Duo grinned and looked at the bathroom door. He pulled out his gun and headed for the bathroom.

Inside of the bathroom Hilde gripped onto Trowa even tighter as he slid into a dark area with Hilde still his arms. They watched the doorknob turn all the way and unlocking it. Duo opened the door and found them. "There you are!" he grinned as he pulled back the trigger.

"FREEZE!" someone of the right side of the doorway, yelled. Trowa covered Hilde up with his body he didn't want her to get shot if Duo fired upon them. "DROP YOUR WEAPON AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!" Trowa knew that sound, it was the police. He looked over to Duo who still had the gun in his hands. He watched Duo turned around and places the gun on the floor. Once his gun touches the ground four to six officers tackled Duo down to the ground. Pinning him down several times as he tried to fight against the officers. Two other officers ran into the bathroom to Trowa and Hilde's side. Trowa stood up with the officer's help. He looked down at Hilde and then at the floor and the notice her foot was dripping with blood and so where her finger tips. Trowa kissed her forehead and ran past the officers. But one of them held him back. "We'll take you two the hospital" Trowa nodded to them and let the officers lead the way. As helped Trowa into the car, as he stoked the black strains of hair away from Hilde's eyes. Trowa looked out the window and watched as the officers had Duo handcuffed and put in back of the other police car. "Your safe now." He smiled. Hilde smiled back gripping onto Trowa tighter. The officer drove them to the hospital as fast as his car can go.


Trowa paced back and forth in the waiting room, with Heero, Quatre and Relena. "Trowa sit down, your going to pass out doing that" Relena informed him. But Trowa didn't listen to her he stopped and leaned against the wall. He looked down at his bloodstained shirt from Hilde's blood. "Why would Duo do something like that to Hilde?" he asked. "There was a lot of information on Duo that we didn't know about." Heero replied. When Trowa walked up to the ER door, the doctor walked up to him and nodded.

"How is she?" Trowa asked.

"Mr. Barton I need to talk to you alone please." The doctor told him as he led Trowa to the empty hallway. Trowa stood there as the doctor leaned against the wall looking at Hilde's folder. "How long have this been going on?"

"I don't know, I just found out yesterday."

"Okay, Mr Barton. Hilde has a few broken ribs. The left to the right, we will have a patch over her damage eye so that the other eye can cover slowly. Her left leg has bruises in the inside so we'll put her on crutches until she feels that she can walk on that leg." The doctor said.

Trowa nodded.

"Is it okay if I can see her?"

"Yeah go ahead, but she'll needs lot of rest to fully recover, if she has any pain give her these pills" the doctor handed Trowa a bottle of her medicine. Trowa nodded and smile. The doctor turned on his heels and walked away down the hall. Trowa turned around and walked into Hilde's room. Before he could step in, Quatre held out two Chinese dinners in a food box and being carried in a bag. "Eat this share it!" he smiled. Trowa nodded and walked into the room. There she was sitting up on the bed leaning against the pillows. She was looking outside watching the winter snow fall to the ground. "Hilde it's me Trowa," he said softy as he placed down the two dinners on the little table by her bed. Trowa walked to her and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Why me Trowa? Why does this have to happen to me?" she asked with a sob. Trowa reached for her shoulder but pulled it back. Hilde turned to face him and looked him in the eye. "You won't hurt me!" she whispered. She took both of his arms and wrapped them around herself. She then leaned down onto his chest and smiled. Trowa smiled and rested his head on top of hers. They just held each other for the longest time. Hilde pulled back and smiled, she smelled something in the room, something tasty. "Are you hungry?" Trowa asked and she nodded. Trowa got up and pulled up the table towards the bed since Hilde couldn't walk on her left leg he sat on the bed with her. "Chinese food, I hope you like it" he said.

"Yeah! Duo and I-," she stopped and her hands started to shake. Trowa took her hands in his and held them up to his lips. Hilde looked into his forest green eyes and blushed. She blushed again when he kissed her hands. "It's alright now, you don't have to talk about it" he took his right hand and caress her cheek right near her black, blue and red battered eye.

/Oh wow! I have found my prince who came to save me from the evil that hid me in the tallest tower. I never knew Trowa Barton would ever talk to me or anything, he didn't even seem the type who will stay with me. I guess I had judged him too much. I hope my fairy tale comes true so my prince and I can live happy ever after. And that night was the last time I saw Duo Maxwell for the last not for awhile/.


That night in the hospital, Trowa was leaning against the pillow with her. As they ate their dinner. Red and white rice, chicken fingers, and steak were their dinner and they were enjoying it a lot. Hilde just started to giggle at Trowa. "What?"

"You.... Have.... S-something... O-on your nose!" she laughed. Trowa didn't notice that some sweet and sour sauce was on his nose. Trowa was about to wipe it off. "No let me!" she giggled. She closed her eyes, leaning forward and kissed the sweet and sour sauce off his nose.

Trowa blushed and held his breath. Trowa placed the empty trays on the table and leaned back against the pillows. Hilde leaned down on his chest as he gently wrapped his arms around her. Hilde smiled and took his hands in hers. Their fingers ran though each other slowly. Hilde smiled as she looked up at Trowa, who had his eyes closed. "And here he sleeps" she said as she kissed his fingertips. She leaned back more on him and yawned. "Good night my prince!" she yawned again falling asleep in his arms. Trowa slowly opened his left eye and looked down at the sleeping angel who lay against his chest sleeping. He kissed her head gently and closed his eyes falling asleep as well.


The next day Hilde was changing into some comfortable cloths, while Trowa waited for her to come out. When she came out, she used crutches to help her walk. A black eye patch covered her damage eye. She wore long sleeve's shirts and jeans to cover her bruises. Trowa grabbed her bag for her as they exited out of the hospital. "Hilde I have an idea!" Trowa exclaimed.

"What?"

"You don't have to do this, if you don't want to. But I think I can get you some new cloths."

"Why would I need knew cloths?"

"Duo burned them all, nothing was left for you." He sighed. "You don't have to buy me anything Trowa."

"Just for now, the blank won't let you touch any of the money of the scrap yard until the trail," he warned. Hilde nodded. "Okay I will let you, but nothing fancy"

"Why not!"

"I don't wear fancy cloths that much!"

"Oh I forgot. Now come on!" he slowly walked with her as they slowly made their way to the strip malls down the street.

Who can say-
Where the road goes where the day flows
Only time-
And who can say if you love grows as your heart chose
Only time-

Trowa carried her bags for her as they exited out of the store. Hilde was laughing. "I can't wait until you wear that!"

"I am not wearing that outfit you got me."

"Oh come on chicken."

"You didn't just call me chicken." Trowa dropped the bags and picked Hilde off the ground heading towards the fountain. "Oh no Trowa, don't" she laughed. Trowa dumped her into the fountain and began to walk off. But to late Hilde grabbed his arm and pulled him in too.

Trowa was soak and wet. Hilde splashed him some and Trowa splashed back. Trowa got up and started to splash her with the water. Hilde grabbed him he landed on top of her she smiled and kissed his lips. Trowa smiled and returned the kiss back.

Who can say
Why you heart sighs when you love flies
Only time-
And who can say why your heart cries when your love lies
Only time-

Trowa got out of the fountain and helped Hilde out of the fountain as well. Suddenly Hilde started to cry. Trowa pulled her out and held her tight in his arms. "Shhh...it's okay now Duo is gone, he won't hurt you anymore." He whispered into her ear. "No, he'll come back for me, he's going to kill me." She cried in his arms. "Duo promised he'll never hurt me, never hurt me!" she sobbed. Trowa would do his best to understand but since now when he saw those tears he can understand the pain, the harm that she was going though with the men that she once trusted.

Who can say when the roads meet that love might be in your heart
And who can say when the sleeps if the night keeps all your heart.
Night keeps all your heart.
Who can say if your love grows as your heart chose?
-Only time

That night Trowa and Hilde hang their wet cloth by the fireplace. They were alone, Quatre had a meeting and Heero just left to leave the two of them alone. Trowa sat on the couch, leaning back relaxing with Hilde leaning against him. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head of her shoulder. Both of them where wearing night robes warming up by the fire, "Trowa tell me your childhood!" Hilde whispered as Trowa ran his fingers though hers. "Why do you want to know my childhood?" he kissed her shoulder wrapping his arms tighter around her, but not to tight Trowa didn't want to hurt her ribs. "My childhood, was lonely." He started.

"Why was it lonely didn't you have family?"

"Yes!"

"Tell me why it was lonely?" Hilde kissed his hands and curled up into his arms.

"My mother and father divorce when I was ten years old. My father moved with another younger woman, three years later my mother died my father didn't come to her funeral. I had no one with me, I hated him or her for it, and my father wouldn't let me stay with him. I lived alone until now." he whispered. "I love you Hilde!" he whispered in her ear. "I love you too" she smiled. "Now Hilde tell me about your childhood!" he smirked. "You don't want to know my childhood, Trowa it will scare you like it did my foster parents." She sighed tilting her head back on his shoulder.

And who can say where the road goes when the day flows
-Only time, who knows
-Only time, who knows
-Only time

Trowa watched Hilde fall asleep slowly into his arms; he smiled and kissed her lips. He scoops her into his arms and brought her upstairs to the east wing. He opened the door with his foot to her room, and walked over to the bed. He laid her down gently and put the covers over her so the winter cold wouldn't make her freeze. He sat down on the edge of the bed, caressing her cheek with his hand. "I want to help you Hilde." He whispered. He leans down to her and smiles. "I love you," he whispered again adding a sweet gentle kiss on her lips. He wanted to be with her so much, if Duo had won the trail of her beatings and her continuously being raped. He would have to kill Duo himself.

"So Trowa what did the doctor say?" Quatre asked from the long brown trimmed door far across the room. "The doctor told me, that she need to recover a lot." He sighed as he stood up from the bed walking over to Quatre. "Any damage?"

"Yes, she'll be needing to use the crutches, her right leg has been bruised and cut up. So they told her to use the crutches until the pain stops. Her ribs were reconnected. Duo broke three of them. She won't be able to see out of her right eye for a long time." Trowa closed his eyes and looked back to Hilde.

"Hey Trowa, how about this I have a party in two nights here at his manor. You two are welcome to come." Quatre smiled. "Thanks," Trowa watched Quatre leave their room, Trowa shut the door, Trowa looked over to the calender and notice Christmas was near, and it was time for joy and love. Trowa took off his shirt and pants, leaving on his boxers and climbed into bed with Hilde. Once Trowa lay down on the bed, Hilde turned over and struggled into his arms. Trowa closed his eyes and fell asleep with his love in his arms tightly that night.


Trowa opened his eyes, and yawned. He closes them tight again because of the bright sunlight shining though the window. He opened his eyes and looked to find Hilde. There she was, lying down in bed, curled up still sleeping. Trowa leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Hilde smiled and opened her eyes, and yawned. "Morning." She yawned. She sat up and kissed Trowa. "Morning." Trowa replied back. Trowa wrapped his arms around her tight.

Hilde sat up and got out of his arms, she got off the bed with the white sheet around her.

"Where do you think your going?" Trowa smirked. "I need to take a shower, now if you don't mind I would like to take one now!" she smiled walking towards the bathroom. Trowa with his boxers still on, he jumped off the bed and tackled Hilde to the ground. With a loud thud, Trowa pinned Hilde down. "Pinned ya!" he smiled. Hilde looked up at him. She smirked and pushed up, Trowa got off, but Hilde tackled him down to the ground pinning him down.

"No I pinned you!" she smiled. Trowa got up and tackled her, but she dodged his tackle.

Hilde jumped on him and pinned him again. "Pinned you again!" she laughed, Hilde got up and walked to the shower shutting the door slowly, Trowa sat up and leaned against the bed he looked up and smiled.


Hours later, Hilde was downstairs waiting for Trowa to come out of the shower. Quatre played on his piano while Sally, Heero and Hilde listened. Hilde smiled and walked up to Quatre. She leaned on the piano listening to the beautiful that was being played. (The song that Quatre is playing is from the Japanese version of the Final Fantasy sound track. It is really beautiful; it's just played by a piano alone. If you know what I am talking about.)

Hilde pinned up her long black hair in a ponytail and put on a NY Yankees baseball cap. She pulled her hair though the back and let it lose in the ponytail. She looked at her face in the mirror. She kept on the patch on her eye, but this time she wanted it off. She took it off, and held back her tears at the eye. It still was sore looking; she pulled out her makeup and started to do her makeup. She didn't want Trowa to see this at all; she put her sunglasses in the pocket of her baseball shirt. As she put her makeup away Trowa came out of the shower, he changed into a baggy pair of jeans, and a dark navy blue shirt, the sleeves looked like they were cut off, his strong muscle arms shown prefect with his dark-blue shirt. "I can't believe I am wearing this!" he laughed. "I am going to freeze!" Trowa sighed. "No you won't" Hilde smiled as she got up and walked up to him. She walked up to him with her crutches. "Here, take this hood!" Hilde handed him a sweatshirt with a hood. "Now are you happy" she smiled. "Yes!" he smiled.

Hilde looked down and leaned her head on his chest. She wanted to be held again, she was still hurting, still afraid to be held by someone else. All she wanted was Trowa. Trowa wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her back. Trowa drop the sweatshirt and wrapped his other arm around her. He knew how she felt; she needed him not just for comfort but for love. The two just held each other for the longest time while Quatre's piano played in the background.
