The days cold and weary without feeling him by my side. I still want to feel his presence and think that he is still there with me. Holding me. Kissing me. Making love to me, but finding out that it was a dream and finding out he is never going to return in my arms again. I miss you Trunks.

I hate him…absolutely hate him. He doesn't even deserve to be called father anymore, I feel ashamed that we even share blood. He killed my love to protect me not knowing that it would backfire, I haven't seen him in 5 months and not planning to. I still have my uncle and best friend by my side. My father will pay for what he did, I'm still thinking of what I could do. Revenge is the only thing on my mind. Besides that, I have been so depressed and its not good for me. Stressed even. My best friend, Bra, tries to make me as happy as possible. She tells me its not good for the baby…my baby…our baby. Mine and Trunk's baby. He gave it to me the night he died. After a night of pure love. That night was also the night of hatred, sadness, and despair. My father, as thick headed as he is, killed my only love. At least I have something to remember him by. I looked down at my enlarged belly, and rubbed it. I smiled. Then I heard the annoying voice of Bra that I know so well.

"Pan!!!" yelled Bra from the other side of the house, "It's time to go!" she waited for me with my uncle Goten clinging to his arm. I smiled at them both. They look so perfect together. I love them both with all my heart. They were the people that got me through these days. I still remember that day like it was yesterday.

FLASHBACK

The rain was beating down on my face as I opened my eyes. The setting around me was horrifying. The house that we escaped to was in pieces, Bra and Goten lay together unconscious. They looked like they were holding each other. I tried to stand up but sheer pain shot throughout my body, the pain was threatening. I looked down at my legs and noticed they were all bloody and broken. I shot my head away from my legs and started to cry, just now feeling the immense pain. All of a sudden the memories from a couple hours ago started flowing back into my mind. TRUNKS! I looked all around me to find my beloved one. I remembered that my father crashed down the door to our bedroom that was contained in our secret hiding place. His face was just of peer hatred. We had just made love when Gohan burst through the doors. I took the sheets and covered my body and ran to the corner. Trunks had his boxers on, Gohan on the other hand was giving him a death glare.

"Gohan, please understand. We love each other!" Trunks said trying to calm down Gohan.

"Save your breath! You are going to need it after what I'm going to do to you!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. At that Gohan lunged at him at put a fist into Trunk's jaw. Trunks tumbled back.

"Listen Gohan, I don't want to fight you, you are like family to me. I want you to know that I love your daugh-!" Gohan interrupted him by kicking him in the gut.

"No more talking!" Gohan yelled as Trunks fell to the ground holding his stomach in agony. I was in the corning crying at this point. My father heard my whimpering.

"YOU SLUT!!" Gohan yelled at me. I have never in my days heard him say that. But he continued. "HOW DARE YOU LET HIM TOUCH YOU!!" he then walked up to me and slapped as hard as he could across my face. More tears weld up in my eyes. I cried uncontrollably. While this happened Trunks got up and saw what just happened. When it finally registered he was enraged at Gohan. Trunks then took a full swing to Gohan's head, but Gohan felt his energy and turned around and blocked it and then slammed his knee into his face….That's when it started. The whole bloody war between my love and my own blood. I grimaced to the fact that my own father would do that. I still remember those harsh words he told me. Legs still in pain I searched frantically for my lover. I then saw him and gasped in horror. It looked as if every bone in his body was broken and covered in blood. He was pale and looked cold. He shivered. He was still alive. Ignoring the pain in my legs I dragged myself towards him. The tears fell down my cheeks uncontrollably. As I reached him I stared down into his face. His eyes closed and mouth slightly open. I put my palm to his cheek. He was so cold. The tears that were streaming down my face trickled off my chin and landed softly on his face. One tear hit his eyelid. Then he started shaking and opened his eyes slowly to gaze at me. He tried to smile. But even that was too hard. He was breathing funny. Hardly breathing at all. Then he whispered something.

"Pan…" and that was all I could hear coming out of his mouth. More tears fell out of my eyes.

"Yes, Trunks, I'm here, I'm here my love," I said frantically and between sobs. He then smiled and gazed upon my beauty. With all the strength he had left, he lifted his arm off the ground and put his palm to my cheek and wiped a tear that fell down from my eye.

"I-I w-want you t-to know t-that I-I will always l-love y-you," he said so deeply and truthful. But nothing was going to happen. I know it.

"Oh Trunks, nothing is going to happen, just wait. You can't leave me, you promised that," I pleaded in defense knowing that what he thought and said was true. I knew he was leaving. That feeling became stronger when his hand started to slip from my cheek. I hurried and grabbed his hand with my own and kept it there. I was sobbing into his hand. His eyes started to close and his shaking was going down. The last thing I heard was his devotion towards me.

"I…love…you…Pan…" was his last word before his eyes shut fully and he laid there very still. My eyes widened, and more tears escaped my eyes and I started balling. I lay on him and kept on telling myself that he wasnt dead, he couldn't be. But the voice in the back of my head say otherwise. I sniffled and looked at his beautiful face and stroked is lavender-colored hair. I then heard footsteps coming up behind but ignored them completely, only paying attention to the pale and lifeless man in front of me. I felt a hand grab my shoulder, but shrugged it off. I wanted to stay here forever by Trunk's side.

"Pan...i'm sorry, but he is dead. We can't do anything about it," said the voice of my best friend, Bra, "We will give him a better burial than this, plan a funeral...I am very upset too Pan. I mean, he was my brother. I do miss him dearly already. Now come on Pan, let's go get somebody and plan this thing out." She offered, I wanted to refuse and stay here forever with him, but Bra is right. Giving him a funeral is the best option for this situation.

"But Bra, one problem," I stated.

"What is that?" she asked.

"I can't walk, my legs are broken," I said. It was pretty obvious, my legs were in pretty bad shape. She looked at my legs and turned around to look at the aproaching Goten. She looked at him with her puppy dog face and pointed a thumb to me. He just nodded, and walked to me and picked me up into his strong embrace and carried me away from the blood house. We all looked back at the scene behind us with tears streaming down our faces. We had lost someone close to us today, and will never forget it.

END OF FLASHBACK

After the funeral, all I wanted to do was get away from that stupid place, away from Satan City, away from Japan. Goten, Bra, and I moved to America the day after the funeral. Hoping to get away from all the pain, and now today I am just going right back into it. Stupid Holidays. Bra had gotten a call from her mother, Bulma, yesturday to tell her that she was having a little get together for the Christmas holidays. Saying that we were invited. Bra could never refuse a party. And of course she makes Goten and I go. Why would i want to go? I left to get away from Japan, and all we are doing is going right back into it. Goten doesn't have a choice, I mean, him and Bra ARE engaged. So he has to follow Bra's rules or he won't get any for a week. Bra says that it will be a good experience and maybe will shed light onto our dark and depressing lives if we go. And because of that, she is making me go. No matter what.
