The Man She Loved

Summery: What if Trinity made the ultimate sacrifice? Giving up Neo's love for another man? In this fic, the ''what if'' is answered.

A/N: Okay, okay i know. Another one. All these ideas pop into my head, like they usually do. I have no idea what-so-ever when this takes place. Somewhere. It's a bit messy, going back and fourth but hopefully you'll get the gist of it. If not, PM me ;) Btw, they're delibratly OOC, because that's exactly what i want them to be. P.S i still don't have microsoft word, so i'm trying to cope. :S

EDITED: Thank you loads for your support Mercy19, as you can see, i edited this chapter and decided to continue with it, not sure whether i'm doing the right thing or not, please tell me what you think.

Who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

Zion was the only place where they could regain their sainity as Neo bluntly put it. But, this time around Neo was dreading the thought of returning to the last human city.

Ever since Trinity left him, Zion was a place of bad memories which caused him to drink more than often but gradually, his drinking was no longer a problem. Spite comments were issued by other crew members due to his previous drinking which caused rivalry between two sides. He was in a bad, bad state and there was only one woman who could improve it...

When Trinity found out that the Neb was returning home, she shut herself in her apartment and prepared herself for the worst. Every time Neo returned from various missions within the Matrix, his first destination would be Trinity's apartment. He'd scream her name, over and over until his throat was bone dry. He'd the crash to the floor, fists banging on the door. He was desperate for sex, a friend and a lover. Trinity was the perfect person for all of the categories he needed. Too bad she didn't think so, she had already given herself to another man, her heart included.

Annick was Zion born. His parents were pod born and had sacrificed themselves in a deadly mission when attempting to prevent the war against machine and man. His parents bravary borught him a few moments of fame which he disliked. His looks were stunning though he wasn't as gorgous as Neo, but he could easily be a subsitute for the One. His dark blue eyes caught Trinity's attention that fatal night in a well known club...

Annick's dark blue eyes, peering out from his side-cut fringe, caught mine in that well-known club. He looked irresistible, like i could eat him all up within five minutes. I felt and acted desperate, but he didn't seem to mind. I must of caught his attention with me, swinging back a bottle of vodka now and then. I was in a state and i sure felt like it. He walked over, i can't remember the rest apart from when i whispered in his ear ''I'm yours, take me'' and finding myself in his bed in the morning. It gave me a shock of a lifetime, but it certainly wasn't the worst.

He stood outside when i broke the news to Neo that i had found someone else. I always confidned in Annick my problems with Neo and he regareded us as just being too obsessed with each other to notice our real feelings towards each over. Of course, being me i disagreed. But, before long i moved in with Annick. It was quick, but me and Neo were beginning to get at each others throats. There was once a serious instant involving us where Neo wouldn't of been afrair to hit me. He didn't but that wasn't the point. The point was that he was willing to hit me, and would of done...

Trinity laid on the bed when hearing the familar knocking. Thinking it was Neo, she shut herself off and ignored it. It was only when she heard Morphous's voice that she took notice and opened the door.

''Good to see you Trinity''. Morpheus spoke, a smile upon his face. Such a rare sight for the man whom never usualy expressed his emotions in such a way.

''Likewise. What do you want?'' Trinity spoke in a bad manner.

''Tommorow, are you free?'' Morpheus asked.

''I think so. Why?''

''There's a mission which we need to accomplish. Nothing major, just some glitches in the Matrix which we would like to sort out. Since you haven't helped out in a while, i was wondering whether you would like to help out this time. Neo, myself and Link will be aboard''

''Neo...?'' Trinity spluttered, anger rising in her voice.

''Yes. Is that a problem?''

YES GOD DAMMIT! OF COURSE IT FUCKING IS!; Trinity's mind argued.

''No, that will be fine'' She knew that duties are duties and that she ought to help whenever she can. Though she'd have to leave Annick for a while...

''Is that all?'' Trinity asked, rather impatiently.

''Yes, thank you for your time. At the dock, 7.00am sharp tommorow'' Morpheus sounded so formal and with that, he left.

Why did Trinity decide to go with Annick in the first place? There must of been a reason, not just because she was drunk. And what's Neo's intake of this? Why did he loose Trinity, what made him do such a thing? All will be revealed...in the next chapter.
