Jet'aime 11
Two days passed and Tights is still locking herself on her room. She can't believed it. James will throw their fucking ten years for a woman he just met for a year? What is wrong with her? She did eveything for that man. She sacrificed her ambitions for his success and he will just leave her like that. She's angry, she's sad, she's broken.
Bulma found out the reason why Tights and James broke up when she read the news about James being married to his secretary, Samantha. It all explains the reason on why Tights is depressed. She can't believed it, she wanted to kill that fucking man, especially that bitch even if she is two months pregnant. Chi-chi and the rest of the gang visited the briefs mansion to check on Tights but she refuses to face them.
One month passed and Tights is still locking herlself up. Yes, she joins them for breakfast, lunch and dinner but thats it. She looks very sad even if she smiles at them.
Bulma can no longer see her sister, depressed and broken. She then talked to Piccolo and asked him a favor.
She found the namekian on the forest near Goku's house. He is meditating.
"Piccolo." she called, disturbing the namek.
Piccolo opened his eyes to see Bulma walking towards him. "Why?"
"I..I know I don't have the right to ask you for this but..you heard it, right? about Tights."
Piccolo nodded. He found out that Tights is locking herself because her ex boyfriend and best friend got married. When he found out about that, he was so mad and almost decided to kill the man. How cruel he is to broke Tights heart.
"Spill it out, Bulma."
"I want you to talk to my sister, she will listen to you"
"How are you so sure?"
"Because she's your mate."
Piccolo frozed, wait how did she?
"Vegeta told me everything. How you're treated as a dissapointment on the planet namek because you're in love with a girl from a different planet. He told me its Tights. At first, I dont want to believe him but then your sudden closeness, the electricity when the two of you are together. Tights even told me that you look familiar but she can't remember anything about you. Piccolo, I don't want to see her like this. Do you?"
"I can't promise you anything, Bulma." Piccolo dissapeared in just a second, leaving Bulma in the forest. Thank god Piccolo is here. She knows that Piccolo will make Tights happy again.
A soft knock from her window caught Tights attention. She saw Piccolo outside. Tights opened it for the namekian and let him in.
"Why are you here? Did my sister or chi-chi or krillin asked you to check on me?"
"Is it wrong to visit you, Tights? No one asked me to, I just wanted to see you."
"To see, how broken I am?" Tights did her best to fight the tears but she can no longer hide it.
"Yes."
"What?"
"You heard me, I said yes. I wanted to see how broken you are so I will know how to fix you."
Tights looked at the namekian. "You don't have to fix me."
"I know, but I want to, I have to." Tights hugged him tight and cried, soaking Piccolo's shirt with her tears. They sat on the edge of her bed, holding each other. When Piccolo felt that Tights is no longer crying, he saw that she fell asleep. He softly lay her on the bed and looked at her face. There are dark circles on her eyes, looks like she's not sleeping well. He wanted to see her smile again, he will make her smile again.
When he was about to leave, Tights hold his hand and asked him to stay. Piccolo then lay on the bed, embracing his woman to sleep.
Why does it feel so familiar? It feels like they've done this before but she can't remember anything. Whenever she's with him, she feels at peace and protected. Why? She's supposed to mourn with the lost of her love, but this particular man makes her forget the pain.
Piccolo slowly opened his eyes to see Tights who is smiling at him. He smiled back and pulled her closer. "Thank you." Tights whispered.
