WALKING AWAY

CHAPTER 10

One Month Later: New York City

Trunks and Goten had just finished up their last meeting for the week, and decided to go grab an early dinner before heading back to their hotel. "Where you wanna eat man," Goten asked glancing around the city they were walking through.

"I don't know, we have eaten at every single restaurant and pizza shop in this city I think" Trunks sighed also glancing around seeing if anything looked appetizing. They ended up walking in to a little pizza shop and ordering 10 large pizzas to go. They had figured out taking things home to eat was a lot less awkward then eating in public, there wasn't as much staring. As they were waiting for their pizza, Trunks' phone went off, he quickly grabbed it out of his pocket, and saw that it was his mother, he contemplated not picking it up, but decided it would be the best thing to do. Goten reached into his phone seeing if he had any messages, he hadn't heard from Bra in days now, and she wouldn't answer his calls, he was hoping she hadn't found someone while he had been gone. He tried to get her to fly out and stay in a hotel that was down the street, but she said she couldn't, she couldn't risk her brother and father finding out about their little secret already, I mean they technically hadn't even been dating they had just slept together one drunken night. Goten was a little bummed but he got over it, he tried to throw his mind into work and taking care of Trunks, trying to get him out, get him some ass, but he was so hung up on Pan, he wouldn't budge. Goten chuckled thinking back to a few weeks ago when he brought two girls up to the room, and Trunks didn't even let them in, he made them leave, no questions asked. Goten looked over to his friend on the phone and shook his head, That man has it bad.

"Trunks Briefs speaking."

"Trunks baby! How is everything going, I miss you so much," Bulma cooed into the phone. None of her kids had ever been gone for so long, without her with them.

"Everything is going good mom, we just got done with all the meetings for the week and actually have a long weekend, Friday till Monday, with nothing planned," Trunks responded happily, he could definitely use some r and r.

"Come home," she squealed back. "Come home and we can have a nice family dinner and you can see everyone, and then we can fly you back Monday.

"I'll talk to Goten and see. How is everything there? Father? Bra?"

"Well your father is his usual ornery self," he could hear his father yell something in the background when his mother spoke those words, "And Bra, well I don't really know what is going on with her, her and Tommy broke up right after you left, but she has been acting strange, and not going out with any boys, she says she has a new boyfriend, but she won't tell us who, and she never has anyone over, so I don't know if she is having some sort of mental thing," Trunks listened to his mother ramble on about his sister, getting a chuckle out that his mother thinks Bra could be mental, It only took how many years? "Trunks are you listening," Bulma yelled into the phone breaking Trunks' thoughts.

"Yes mother. Mother have you seen her," his voice lowered, not wanting Goten to hear. He had told him that he had moved on, that he had met some girls in town and slept with them forgetting about her, but he was lying, he was so sick of hearing Goten question what was wrong with him, or how he should call her.

"No," was all she said, "Come home baby, come home and figure it out, it will be a nice break," her motherly voice had taken over, and he knew he wanted to come home, "I have to go mother," he sighed, "I love you, I'll call you later," with that he hung up.

"So what did your mom want," Goten asked walking over with the pizzas in hand.

"How about a trip back home for the weekend," Trunks eyed his best friend, knowing what his answer would be, truth was he really did want to go home and have some sense of normal again, well as normal as a family of sayians could be.

"Are you freaking joking right now," Goten asked dropping the pizza, then realizing it and picking them back up.

"Ya, I'm going to see if we can push our Tuesday meeting till Wednesday so it will give us 3 full days home," Trunks smiled, he was as excited as Goten was on the inside.

"Let's go pack man," Goten yelled taking off out of the pizza shop. Trunks quickly followed the younger saiyan back to their hotel, to get packed and get a flight home.

It had been a month, a month had gone by and Pan's stomach had grown double the size, she had seem the doctor 3 times in the month, and all was well, all was well with her little boy. She had devised a plan to get away, she was leaving her parents house for good, and they could never find out. She never thought her parents would behave the way they have since she had been pregnant, they were so against her taking care of this child, but she didn't care; this was her baby, not theirs. Tonight was the night, she was making the break, she was going to get out of this hell hole tonight, she was leaving town and not ever coming back, her mind was made up, she needed to get out before Trunks came back in a couple months anyways, she didn't even want to deal with him, and the fact of him being the father. She looked around her room, she packed one small capsule full of the clothes she would be needing, she had snuck out a few nights ago with the help of her ki suppressor she had been given from Trunks a long while ago, and bought some hair dye and cleaned out her bank account. She had enough money to get her out of this place and she had enough to get her life started somewhere else, she had a few credit cards, but those would be only if necessary.

She picked up her old cell phone and turned it off placing it on top of her desk so her parents would find it, along with a note, letting them know that she was gone for good, and to not come looking for her because they wouldn't find her. She powered on her new cell phone, new number and all, and then shoved it into her purse. She rubbed her stomach lightly as she felt the boy inside kick her, it made her smile. She couldn't wait for him to arrive; she had already begun looking into doctors to contact when she arrived. She sighed as she picked up her things, putting on the ki suppressor and glanced around her room once more, she was sad, she wished she could say good bye to her mother and father, and Uncle Goten, and Bra… but it was not possible, this was going to be the hardest part of the whole plan, walking away.

She opened up her balcony door, and walked out, quietly taking to the air slowly and quietly so not to wake anyone. She flew around to her parents window, she at least needed to see them once more, and she smiled when she did, she knew in her heart they were only trying to protect her, but she wasn't a child anymore, she was an adult and all they were worried about was their name. She placed her right hand on the glass, noticing her blonde hair in her reflection, and she quickly blew a kiss before taking off for the airport, it was time for her trip to America, but where she was going was no New York City, she was off to a small town in South Carolina, she had found an apartment there, that was close to the ocean, and it seemed like it could make her happy.

She made it to the airport and was able to book a flight for that night, she was heading to the gate when she began to panic, there coming out of baggage claim was Trunks and Goten. She quickly jumped behind a pillar, glancing around the side she could see Goten on his phone and Trunks leading the way, and then he looked over and saw her, their eyes met and she began to panic even more, but he looked away, not noticing it was her. She quickly grabbed her stuff and walked into the closest woman's bathroom, when she realized her hair was blonde and she had her dark glasses on. He probably thought I was some wacko, wearing glasses at night time; she let out a little laugh. She pulled herself together and headed through the security checks to her gate, she couldn't wait to get out of this place.

"I could have sworn I just saw Pan," Trunks said shaking his head, "But the girl was blonde, and pregnant," he laughed at himself; his eyes were definitely playing tricks on him tonight.

"You are just tired man," Goten swatted him on the back, "Let's go crash at the Corp tonight and we can see everyone tomorrow when we get up." Trunks shook his head in agreement; they could each make it into one of the guest rooms without waking anyone that was probably the best bet.

Goten was happy Trunks didn't say no to that, this was his first chance to see Bra, and he could barely contain himself, he was going to sneak to see her when they got settled in, she would be so surprised. Trunks looked over at Goten's goofy ass grin on his face and chuckled, "You that happy to be home man?"

"Hell ya."
