Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball. Sadly.
Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I write all my ideas and parts of my stories in a notebook called 'the doodle book' and I lost it. I'm so sad, I'm on the verge of tears...
I hope the last chapter was okay...didn't get many reviews...
Thank you for reviewing

Chapter 4 – Leave Me Alone
Pan spent the next few days in fear…she stayed in her room for the rest of the weekend, refusing to eat or even train.
Gohan and Videl were worried. Pan had never acted like this before.
It was Sunday night. They sat in the kitchen, Videl at the stove, preparing dinner and Gohan sitting at the kitchen table.
Gohan finally spoke up. "Videl. I'm worried about Pan."
"That's to be expected." Videl said, never turning to him fully.
"Videl," Gohan said, getting up, "you aren't worried at all?"
"Of course I am…I just try my best not to…*sniff*…let it…*sniff*…show…" Videl said, breaking into tears right in the middle of the kitchen, falling onto her knees and sobbing uncontrollably.
"Videl…" Gohan said soothingly, taking a seat on the floor beside his wife. "Everything will be okay. I promise."
Videl gave him a weak smile. "Sorry. I know I just…hate seeing her like this."
Just then there was a knock on the door, and it opened, revealing Goten and Paris.
"Hey guys" Gohan said, walking over to them while his wife stood and continued cooking. Paris went to help her.
Goten turned to Gohan. "Where's Pan? Is she out again?"
Gohan hung his head, shaking it from side to side.
"What happened?" Goten asked, concerned.
"She's fine…well…as fine as she can be…"
"What happened?" Gohan asked again.
"We don't know. She's in her room. Maybe she'll talk to you." Gohan said, going to the living room to watch TV.
---GOTEN---
Goten climbed the stairs towards Pan's room, wondering what he was going to do. Something was obviously wrong with Pan, and he didn't want to make it worse by revealing what he had found out to her.
He supposed it was her business if she wanted to be part of that terrible gang he had heard so much about. He didn't want to intrude if she thought the idea of getting herself in a rut like this.
On the other hand, he felt as though it was his job as her uncle to protect her and stop her from making bad decisions. Goten nodded. It was his job. But…at the same time…
I'm
getting tired of you pushing me 'round
Dragging me down
Making
a sound because you wanna
I guess that's why I like messing with
you
Putting you through
A lesson or two, because I'm
gonna
Before I go my own way
I just gotta say
He stopped in front of Pan's bedroom door, his thoughts back where they had started. Should he tell her?
Still unaware of what to do, Goten knocked gently on Pan's door. There was no answer. He tried again, a little louder this time. Nothing. He knocked again, this time saying calmly, knowing her Saiyan hearing would pick it up,
"Pan, I know you are in there. It's me, Goten." She still did not answer. "Pan, I know about where you were Friday night."
Leave
me alone
Get out of my face
I'm tired of love
Feeling so
misplaced
Time for you to go
'Cause I know I'm better off on my
own, oh
Leave me alone
---PAN---
Pan sat in the corner of her room. Her window was closed, locked, and the drapes were closed. A steady flow of tears streamed down her face. They just seemed to go on and on…
…All those years of never allowing herself to cry must have given her a life supply of tears. 'Joy'.
She heard a soft knock at the door. She didn't want to see anyone, so she stayed where she was.
Goten knocked again, louder this time. She knew it was him because of his ki signature.
"Pan, I know you are in there. It's me, Goten." As if she didn't already know.
"Pan, I know about where you were Friday night." Pan froze.
'Goten knows? He knows I was almost rapped? How? That's not possible. How?' Pan thought, eyes as wide as saucers.
"Pan, I'm coming in now…" There was a pause. "We need to talk."
This
isn't gonna work
Don't call me on the phone
Because I'm all out
of words
I'll face the unknown
Thinking about all the ways that
I've grown
Oh, Leave me alone
---GOTEN---
Goten opened the door slowly, scared of what he might find on the other side of the door.
He was met with darkness. The only light was the light spilling into the room from the hallway. Not even the moon's shine graced the room. The curtains must have been closed.
The door shut behind him.
There
was the time I thought you were the one Leave me
alone
Having some fun
Getting
it done
What an illusion
'Cause you were trying to take control
of me
That couldn't be, I need to be free of this confusion
Don't
give me a guilt trip, because I'm so over it
Get out of my face
I'm tired of love
Feeling so
misplaced
Time for you to go
'Cause I know I'm better off on my
own, oh
Leave me alone
After his eyes had adjusted to the darkness, which didn't take very long because of his Saiyan senses, Goten looked around the room for Pan. He noticed with a pang that she was sitting in the corer of the room, in the fetal position, crying her heart out. He rushed over to her and hugged her.
"Shh…shh…oh, Pan." Goten said, not being able to help the guilty feeling in the pit of his stomach. 'If only I hadn't given up on her all those years ago.' He tought, 'If only I had been with her through all of this.'
Pan cried on his shoulder for a good ten minutes before being able to speak.
"You know?" She asked.
"Yes."
This
isn't gonna work Don't turn around and don't
look back Oh
Don't call me on the phone
Because I'm all out
of words
I'll face the unknown
Thinking about all the ways that
I've grown
Oh, leave me alone
I see right through all your selfless acts
"How?"
"I heard scream in the ally way you had been in and I went to investigate. I couldn't believe it when I saw…"
"You saw it?" Pan asked, feeling even more ashamed then ever.
"Yeah…I honestly thought you were stronger than that Pan…I never thought of you to be one to give in to peer pressure."
Pan suddenly got angry. She pushed Goten away and stood up. "You thing I wanted it? You think I wanted Ryan to touch me like that? You think I was screaming for him to stop because I wanted him to keep going?" Goten opened his mouth in shock and was about to reply but Pan had more to say.
"You think I wanted Ryan to rape me?" Fresh tears were streaming down her face. "You think I was saddened and angry that you came and Ryan ran? I may have changed Goten, but god…I'm only human. My Saiyan side isn't as big as yours or Trunks's or…" She wiped her nose on the back of her hand before continuing. "I was in shock. I couldn't move. I was paralyzed. I can't believe that you would even think that I wanted it."
"Pan…" Goten said, but it was too late. Pan had unlatched the window with super speed and flown out into the night.
Leave
me alone
Get out of my face
I'm tired of love
Feeling so
misplaced
Time for you to go
'Cause I know I'm better off on my
own, oh
Leave me alone
---PAN---
Pan flew towards Trunks's ki. Although they had left on an unsteady foot, she needed someone. And Trunks was at the top of her list.
She followed his ki into a forest, in front of a small cabin. She ran up to it but heard voices inside.
Searching the kis inside the cabin, Pan realized that Trunks wasn't alone. He was with Marron.
This
isn't gonna work If you win your love I'll
feel better on my own Leave me alone
Don't call me on the phone
Because I'm all out
of words
I'll face the unknown
Thinking about all the ways that
I've grown
Oh, leave me alone
Pan turned around to face the vast forest around her, not quite sure of what to do.
Just then, there was a rustling in a nearby bush. Pan breathed in deep, hoping against hope that it was just an animal.
"Pan" a voice said from the shadows. Something about the voice was familiar and made a sudden chill run down Pan's spine.
"Who's there?" Her voice was shaking. Why was her voice shaking?
The voice only laughed and a figure stepped out of the shadows.
Cliff-hanger….ohh…
