Through the Rain
Chapter 1
A figure walked into the night, her ebony hair and midnight eyes hiding her emotions from the darkness of the atmosphere. It just wasn't the darkness that made this atmosphere dark, it was what happened.
The figure ran towards the trees, which would shelter her. She crashed through the trees and collapsed on the ground, onto her knees. She ripped off her orange bandana and threw her backpack onto the ground beside her. Her breath was rapid and rigid. Her arms were trembling and her chest was heaving. She sat back and folded up her knees to her chest and rested her head on them. Her arms slowly wrapped around her knees, closing herself off from anything else in this world. The girl peered at her knees and felt tears fall down her face. "What happened to me?" She asked herself and unwrapped herself finally. She looked up into the sky to see the moon finally peering out of the clouds. The light fell onto her and revealed her identity. Of course, it was Son Pan. (Who else would it be?) Her eyes were hard with concentration but the shallow surface could not hide the betrayal and pain underneath. Her eyes were puffy from the tears and her hair was ruffled up slightly, even if it was back in a ponytail. Olive baggy pants were on her legs and her red T-shirt and blue vest combo covered her upper body. "What else can I do?" She asked herself out loud. "I've turned away from everything I've known." She sighed slightly and her voice turned to the brink of anger. "Actually, they turned on me, every one of them." She stood up suddenly, for she heard voices of some people wandering nearby. She took a short glance through the brush to see a family walking by, or a group of friends, she could not tell. "I have to go in for surgery next week." A girl said nervously. The people turned to face her. "No way! For what?" "Something with an artery in my neck or something." "Well, you've got our support, all the way, one hundred percent." Pan sat back down in the trees. "My friends were never that supportive." She thought back to a few hours.
Flashback
"Why is Pan so out of fashion? Honestly, she looks like a one hundred year old plush doll with a monkey suit on." Bra and Marron said, as they talked back and forth. "I know, we should call the fashion police." "Hey Bra, hey Marron." Trunks said. "What are you guys up to?" "Talking about fashion, brother." Bra said innocently. "Have you guys seen Pan?" "No." "I need to talk to her about her Saiyan abilities. She thinks she can go as far as my dad went. I think she's nuts. She's just a girl, hey, there's Goten! Yo, Goten!" "Hiya Trunks, what's up?" "Nothing I guess." "We're talking about how much people have no fashion sense and Trunks talks about how people think the impossible." "Oh, okay, well, have you guys seen Pan?" "Boy oh boy, everyone's looking for Pan today, aren't they Bra?" "Yep." "Well, Pan likes Trunks, and everyone already knows that, but she's got to know she's got no chance. She's got too much stuff going on." "Thanks Bra, Marron, for your opinions in my fashion sense. Thanks, Trunks, for making everyone believe that I can't do some things and thank you Goten, uncle of mine, for telling people I've got no chance with anyone!" Pan stomped off, she was right behind them the whole time.
End of Flashback
"Support, yeah right. My grandma doesn't support me, my friends talk behind my back, no one else pays attention to me and my parents lost my trust for something I didn't do." Pan grabbed her book bag. Her "Family," wasn't even paying attention to her, if they were, they would have noticed she was gone and that they should look for her. She started walking farther into the bush towards the road. She could catch a ride with someone away from this place. She made her way towards the road, away from the bushes. The moon's light reflected off her body and she felt like a silhouette of light against the darkness. The long strip of asphalt loomed ahead as cars sped past. As Pan arrived at the side of the road, all cars were out of sight and no one was around, nothing was, to be exact. She started walking, she didn't know which direction, where she was going, all that mattered was that she was walking. Cars finally pulled into view, but Pan didn't notice them. She kept walking, walking, walking. The darkness consumed her, only until a car pulled by her, then she was swallowed in light, this cycle continued and continued. "Friends, what does the word mean? Does it mean people who turn against you? Does it mean a person whom acts friendly buts certainly aren't? Are they angels that are sent to break your spirits? Are they people who stab you in the back and kick you until you can't stand? Family, what does the word mean? Does it mean two people who love you? Does it mean people who raise you, but don't love you? Are they people who don't care about anything and use a child to get what they want? Are they greedy people? What are they, I won't know. My friends, I thought I knew them until they came and stabbed me in the back. My family, I thought I knew until they didn't care anymore." She sighed and stopped walking as she looked up towards the sky. The stars shone helplessly, as if they were forced to. She didn't care now and turned back to the road to see a car swerving towards her. Pan shouted in surprise and jumped out of the way, throwing herself into the ditch. The car swerved again back onto the road and continued driving. Pan sat up slowly from her grassy area. She stood up on shaky legs and waddled back up to the shoulder of the road. She took one last look at the moon as it was pulled back into the clouds and Pan continued walking as a single drop fell onto her cheek and it started to rain.
I can make it through the rain, I can stand up once again, on my own and I know, that I'm strong enough to live.Every time I feel afraid, I hold tight onto my faith and I live one more day, and I make it through the rain.
