Hard Love

Chapter 11 (Things just couldn't get worse)

( Trunks )

Why does my life have to suck so much?? Why couldn't I just have been exactly like my father, cruel, uncaring, malicious, instead im being tormented by all these foolish feelings that I have for Marron. I mean Marron doesn't even care that I love her. Well she doesn't know, but I think she might have a clue.

The music was finally out. No more people dancing or more like no more Marron dancing with Uub.

I have this huge urge to open my bedroom door and sneak a peek out at the party and see how it's going. Hope it's crappy so Marron can come to me and find comfort in my arms. Yeah, its nice to dream isn't it?

Should I or shouldn't I open the door?

Oh the hell with it! A peak wouldn't hurt.

"Trunks! What the hell are you doing in your room?!"

Oh great, just what I needed, Bra looking for me like if she could make everything all better again.

"I was taking a nap!"

"A nap? Are you kidding me? I thought that out of all people you would be the one all over Marron, but I guess I was wrong. Too bad. You lost your chance anyway."

I grabbed her by the arm before she decided to run off knowing I was going to chase her.

"What do you mean by that??"

"Or else what?? Hope you're not threatening me, you should know better than to threaten 'me.'"

"I told you once, Now what do you mean by that??"

"Trunks! Let go you're hurting me! Daddy!"

Oh shit! She decided to call him. I had no choice but to let her go and let her be the snotty person she is.

I saw that dad had heard Bra's cry and immediately ran to her. Once he did I made my run for it. I locked my door and jumped out through the balcony flying up to the roof. I heard him holler my name and I freaked out when I saw him fly out my window; I thought he had seen me when he slowly levitated to where I was. Maybe he did see me but by the expression of his face I knew this wasn't over and he was going to wait until the party was concluded and my mom was too busy cleaning to hear me whining.

Why me? Why couldn't I just have been an only child? Yeah dad would have still hated me but I would be better of without having someone control his anger against me.

I guess I might as well stay on the roof until dad forgets about the whole thing. It'll only take about a few months maybe years but im not in a hurry so I can wait. In the meantime I'll admire the stars.

Soon after my encounter with my father I listened to the sound of cars leaving. I saw the guests, one by one waving goodbye to my mom and thanking her for inviting them. Lastly I saw Marron's parents leaving, but it was awkward, Marron wasn't with them. Did she leave early? I don't think so; my mom threw her a great party.

"Thanks Bulma for the surprise party you did for Marron. It was without a doubt a shock for both Krillin and me as well for Marron. Oh, and by the way, I hope you don't think Marron was rude for walking out of her own party, but you know how girls are when they find someone to have a great time with."

"Yes I know Juu, but what do you mean walk off? I didn't see much of Marron in the party but I just thought she was just so excited to stay in one place."

"Yeah I though that too, until I finally found her, and saw her walk out of the house and onto the backyard with Uub. Im sure she's not aware that the party's over, but I think the real party's just beginning for her, if you know what I mean."

"I get you. If by any chance Marron happens to come into the house and finds that her guests aren't here I think she'll know that the party was obviously over, but im not her mother so im not giving her any curfew, she's a grown woman, so she can come and sneak in the house whenever she wants as long as she doesn't wake me up"

Oh that's true, Marron's living with us now.

"True True. We'll see you two later, me and Krillin need to go home and get ourselves some rest because you sure know how to throw one heck of a party. Bye"

Marron? Uub? Still together? In the backyard? Alone?

None of this fit together. It should be me and Marron all alone in the backyard doing whatever it is that her and Uub are doing. I just hope it's not what im thinking. Ubb can be sneaky at times.

I rolled on my back for a while to assume that Marron and Uub weren't doing anything unpleasant.

Ok! Enough thinking. I have to see them.

I rushed instantly the minute I heard Marron giggling. Of course that made me boil up inside and made me wonder what made her giggle. His jokes? Him tickling her?

I jumped off the roof and tiptoed to where they were. I caught a glimpse at Marron sitting on the tire swing swinging herself as Uub sat inches away from her. Hmph! He was probably looking up at her skirt. What a perv.

"So Marron?? You keep on giggling but you never answered my question, if you don't say anything, I might as well take it as a 'yes', I mean its been almost an hour now or even longer."

"And I keep telling you Uub that I don't know. I'm not sure of what to tell you. Look, I tell you what, how about we go out, not now whenever it is that I can 'cause you know that im going to be pretty busy by tomorrow, ok?"

"Alright, sounds good to me, but now you're leaving me with the curiosity, how long do I have to wait??"

"Patience is a virtue."

Uub stood up when Marron struggled to get off the swing. Being the klutz she is she tripped and fell into Uub's arms and his lips just happened to break her fall. Marron didn't seem to mind at all, she didn't budge or anything, she was kissing him back just as deeply.

Now I was sure. Marron was never meant to be mine. I lost her to Uub. I wasn't thinking; my mind went blank but my legs were moving towards them hoping to interrupt their lovely moment.

"Trunks? What are you doing??"

I couldn't bare look up at Marron. Uub looked a bit uncomfortable. I guess I couldn't be furious at him. He didn't know I loved her; if he did he wouldn't have done this to me. It was in the middle of the night, everything around us three was like out of place. It was subtle for a long time. We all reacted when the lights from my house lit up. I turned to leave since I had nothing to tell them and they obviously had nothing to tell me except what the hell was I doing there.

"Trunks, wait. What's wrong?"

What's wrong? What's wrong? Everything is wrong! Im alone and your with Uub. My father despises me. My sister's a bitch when it comes to my private life, my best friends has no time for me. That's what's wrong!

Of course I didn't have the courage to tell her that but instead I just whispered incoherently.

"Huh?"

"That I just wanted to…Bra was looking for you, that's all."

I don't know if she tried to stop me again but I kept on walking and finally made it to my room without coming across my father. I, once again, took a peak at Marron and Uub. After five minutes he left and she came inside, I thought I heard her knock on my door but I just know I was only dreaming so I ignored it.

I drifted off to sleep with Marron being the last thing in my mind.

'Night Marron.

D-Chan

Trunks really loves Marron to death doesn't he? Poor him. Marron seems to be hooking up with the wrong guy. That same day that Marron and Trunks almost kissed that affected Trunks a lot, it affected Marron as well but I guess she just doesn't want to admit it. Uub is just getting in the way. Marron's a beautiful girl and there's more than just one guy after her and im not talking about Trunks.
