Chapter 11: Stand Up For Your Life
Bulma stood there staring wide eyed for a moment. She didn't know what to say. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Suddenly she heard her mother's words in her head and knew what she had to do. "I can't run anymore," she whispered to herself. "I have to stand up for myself and my son." She opened her eyes and looked Vegeta straight in the face. "I am here to face you Vegeta. I'm not running anymore."
Vegeta's face formed into a scowl. "Why would you be running from me?" he asked in a warning tone. He was telling her to back off.
"Because I'm tired Vegeta. I'm so tired." Bulma answered planting her feet firmly in the ground, she knew that the old, confident, strong-willed Bulma was coming back.
"What are you tired of Bulma?" Goku asked as saw the bruises on her face for the first time. Anger was swiftly over coming him.
"I am tired of being pushed around," her voice began to get louder, "and kicked around," louder, "and slapped around," even louder, "and punched around," and then she began to scream "and I'm not doing it anymore! Do you hear me Vegeta! You will not hit me! I will not let you hurt me and I will never, do you hear me, never, let you hurt my son!"
Tears were streaming down Bulma's face as the last year of anguish came crashing down on her. She was crying because she was relieving all the pressure that had built up inside of her. Her tears were evidence of that let out pressure. Little Trunks began to cry as he always had whenever he felt his mother become upset.
Bulma wiped the tears from her eyes and looked Vegeta square in the face. The look in his eyes and on his features told her that if he ever got her alone he would surly kill her. But Bulma wasn't scared. She was strong. Let Goku deal with him, she was done with him. He would never hurt her again.
Goku was livid. "What the hell did you do Vegeta?" He screamed. "You remember what I told you? I told you to never hurt her again!"
Vegeta wasn't looking at Goku, he was looking at Bulma who was staring back at him unafraid. "Woman, what are trying to pull?"
Bulma didn't respond. She just put on a content smile and turned around and walked back into the house.
"Woman!" Vegeta called after her.
"Woman!" He called again. "Bulma!" he roared. The door slammed shut behind her. "Bulma," Vegeta whispered to himself as he looked after her. But she was gone. Vegeta heard the door to her car slam shut. He heard the engine start. He then heard her drive away and leave him there to think about the past year and what he had done.
Okay now I know that was really short but that's all I go right now. I think it was pretty good. The next chapter is the last chapter. So be prepared. I know as much as you do about what is going to happen so any suggestions would be welcome.
Much Love,
