"Why are the files self deleting?" Asked Duo

"There can be only one reason" answered Wufei

"Which is?" Duo asked as he was staring to get very irritated about the whole situation.

"It means that whoever sent him the mission probably new what was gonna happen. It also means they don't want anyone to have the details." Heero seemed sure of that.

Back by the beach. Quatre and Trowa were still talking if you want to call it that. "What do you mean there is no us? We can't even be friends? Why are you throwing what we have away?"

"And what is it that we do have? You can't.. I mean I don't want to be with you anymore." Trowa could see it in his eyes he was lying. Trowa approached him but Quatre got scared and jumped back.

"Quatre why are you afraid of me? I would never hurt you."

"I know you wouldn't mean to."

"That is the second time you've said that what do you mean?"

"Why can't you just leave it alone?"

"BEACAUSE I LOVE YOU DAMMIT!" Trowa yelled as if he were trying to hammer it into Quatre.

"Trowa..." Trowa had tears running down his cheeks. "Trowa please don't cry. I can't stand to see you hurt."

"Then stop hurting me."

"Don't you see. I'm hurting you by being with you. You deserve better than me. I'm used goods." Quatre was now crying also.

Trowa began to think So that's it what did those people do to him? Why would he think such a thing? Trowa tried to touch Quatre but he flinched.

“I’m sorry.” He apologized but this time Trowa was the one who walked away.

Quatre didn’t mean to hurt him but he couldn’t help the way he felt inside. The disgust he felt. Innnocent little touches made him feel scared and sick. He was starting to feel dirty again he needed a shower. He thought a walk on the beach would help but the wide open space was starting to get to him. He needed to go back to his dark room it was more secure. Not to mention safe.

Trowa began to walk and stopped at a tree. He picked up a long stick and began to beat the hell out it. Over and over trying to release all the rage he felt. Then as he tired out he fell to the ground and began to cry.

He was ripping the grass out of the ground and said, “I don’t know who hurt you Quatre but I won’t let that sick son of a bitch take you from me.” Then he whispered, “I won’t. I can’t” This situation was tearing him apart if it was this hard for him imagine how hard it is for Quatre.

Quatre returned to his room to find the others crowed around his computer. He simply asked, “Can I help you guys with something?”

Duo jumped so high you’ld think he could fly. “You trying to give me a heart attack or something Q?”

Wufei spoke up, “WE a were just looking for this.” he held up a game disk.

“Well you found it so if you wouldn’t mind.”

They left.

“Why did you do that? We could of just asked him.” asked Duo.

“Do you really think he would tell you?” asked Wufei.

“Wufei is right we need to give him time. When he’s ready he’ll come to us.” stated Heero.

Quatre immediately went to the shower and scrubbed so hard he became red. Yet he still didn’t feel clean. No matter what he did . Quatre got dressed and noticed in the corner his clothes he wore when he was away. He gathered them up along with some matches and a little gasoline. He brought the stuff outside. The others saw him and watched him.

“What’s he doing?” asked Wufei.

Trowa also saw as he appraoched. Quatre threw the clothes into a metal barrel and then poured the gasoline on it. He struck the match and let it fall. There was a big blaze then it was just burning. Quatre watched the clothes burn. Then he threw in a chain that he had.

“Rot in hell.” is all he said.

“Quatre.” Trowa said as he approached. “Are you OK?”

Quatre looked at him and said, “Fine. I’m going to bed.” he said it so coldly.

Quatre left and Trowa said, “That’s it enough is enough I’m going to make hime talk to me.”
