Why I Must Leave
"Goten, please, you can stay with me" A tan boy said to a smaller paler one.
"No Trunks, the directions were I must leave the country or they die" Goten says throwing more shirts into a tan suitcase.
"It was probably a prank call" Trunks tries again, trying to get his best friend to change his mind.
"And what if it wasn't?, I can't live my whole life knowing you died because I didn't take someones advice" Goten says as he turns to look Trunks straight in the eye.
Truth was, Goten didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay and finish high school with his best friend Trunks. But ever since he got a mysterious phone call one night, he hasn't been the same.
~FLASHBACK~
Goten was home alone, about to watch a movie, when he gets a phone call.
"Hello?" he asks.
"Goten, can I come over?" asked a familiar voice from the other end.
"Of course Trunks" Goten says taking the popcorn out of the microwave.
"Great be over in like 30 minutes" Trunks said hanging up.
~Great, just great~ Goten thought rubbing his temples.
~Why?, why must my love, out of everyone in the world, be my best friend?~ he asks taking an aspirin for his headache.
Goten then walk over to the gigantic plastic bowls, and pours the saiyan sized bag of popcorn in it.
~He better hurry, or I'm starting without him~ Goten thought walking into the TV room.
Goten set the bowl of popcorn down, and went to go take a shower. Seeing as Trunks said 30 minutes, that gave him time to freshen up. As he walked into the bathroom he had a feeling like something wasn't right, but didn't quite know what it was.
~Must just be the after affects of my headache~ he thought turning on the hot water.
Goten let the water warm up a bit, then removed his clothing and stepped inside. He loved the feeling of hot water cascading down his figure. It was calming to him, sort of like when he was a child, he like to have people ruffle his hair.
He took the shampoo and squirted a glob into his hand. He then massaged his scalp as he roved his hands through his raven hair.
When he had thoroughly cleaned his scalp and hair, he got out and suddenly got cold very quickly. He started to feel dizzy, but stopped himself from falling by grabbing onto a toilet.
He heard the front door open and knew immediately who it was.
"Goten?" asked the boy downstairs.
"Up here" Goten replied opening the bathroom door and walking into his room, still holding tightly to the wall.
Goten hurried over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of boxers, socks, jeans. Then went to his closet and pulled out a tight black shirt. Not that in the choice of color he really had one. All his shirts were either gray or black.
He walked downstairs to see the front door wide open and could here the TV on full blast.
"Trying to make me go deaf?" Goten asked walking into the TV room.
"No, just trying to get you in here"Trunks replied.
"Whatever, so what movie are we watching?" Goten asks relaxing in the brown recliner.
"Ummmm, what do you have?" Trunks asks with little interest.
"We have 'The Cell Games', wanna watch that?" Goten asks knowing the answer all to well.
"Na, not in the mood for lies" Trunks says looking at his phone.
"Then what do you want to watch?" Goten asks a little bit mad that he can't please his secret love.
"Family Guy!" Trunks almost screams.
"Okay then, Family Guy it is" Goten says flipping it to Adult Swim, on Cartoon Network.
"It seems today, that all you see, is violence, and movies, and sex on TV. But where are those good old fashioned values, on which we used to rely? Lucky there's a family guy, lucky there's a man who, positively can do, anything to make us, laugh and cry. He's our family guy!"
"Trunks, how do you watch this?" Goten asks not liking it one bit.
"Because it's funny" he says not letting his eye contact leave the screen.
"Okay then" Goten says flipping his phone open to see a message from his mom.
~Honey, please call me~ it read.
"Trunks' mind if I step out for a sec?" Goten asks politely.
"Go right on ahead" Trunks says laughing at Peter who just snorted up a hot dog.
Goten walks into the hallway and dials his mom's number. It rings but finally Goten gets through.
"Hi mom, what did you want?" he asks.
"Hi Goten, how are things at the house?" she asks.
"Good" he replies.
"Is Trunks over?" Chi-Chi asks.
"Yea, why?" Goten asks nervously.
"I thought he would be" she said with a laugh.
"Is that all you needed" asks Goten wanting to change the subject.
"Yes honey, go have fun with Trunks, bye"she says hanging up.
Goten walks back into the room to see Trunks asleep.
~He's so peaceful, when he's asleep~ thought Goten turning off the TV.
"Time has run out, for me. Everything's distant, and I don't know what to believe. It's so hard, lost in the world, confusion. And I need to weep, for a while. Life is so meaningless, there is nothing, worth me smile" My phone sounds.
~I love Jamestown Story's Goodbye~ Goten thought answering the call.
"Hello?" He asks now almost in darkness except for a lamp on the coffee table.
"you're voice is just a cute as you are" the other voice says in a deep, baritone- like, voice.
"Who is this?" Goten asks getting worried.
"That's not important, what is important is that if you don't leave Japan by Monday, your loved one's will die" it says in a harsh tone.
"Listen asshole" Goten tried but was interrupted again.
"No you listen you little bitch!, if you don't do as I say, then the tan one in the room will die first"
"Okay, i'll leave" He says after a long pause.
~END FLASHBACK~
"Goten, I'm begging,please don't go" Trunks pleads with tears streaming down his face.
"Trunks, I must go" Goten says walking towards the door of Capsule Corp.
Goten was thrown a goodbye event, and it was held at Capsule Corp.
"But Goten I can protect myself" Trunks said.
"Not while you're sleeping or out of town, my parents aren't staying young, and my brother is away all the time" I say bringing up points of why I should go.
"Goten, please, I'm asking one more time, please don't leave me"
"I'm sorry Trunks, I have to save you all" Goten says walking out of the door and into the atmosphere which he shall never breathe again, as long as he lives.
Goten drove to the airport, got on his plane and saw he had over 10 texts from old friends. He cried at this but that all changed when they started to plummet Everyone screamed and Goten knew why this was happening Someone wanted to be in his shoes, and would do anything to get there. But who would be this cruel?
