So did you guys like the story so far? If you don't review, I won't post anymore chapters up! Oh, and I'm skipping the 'author talks to character' for this chapter. I just can't think of anything to say to Jackass Vegeta!
Ever since the recent news of Bulma's loss, she's been in DEEP depression. She refused to take advise from her teachers and go see a guidance consuler. She shielded out all her friends and kept herself secluded. Bulma hissed at people whenever they come by to say 'I'm so sorry for your loss.' She hated them. She hated everyone. She hated her parents for just leaving her.
She and her brother were having a hard time running the family business. They were still young, both weren't exactly ready to run such a huge establishment. Even if the brother has past college! He and Bulma were only half of what they need to run the company. Each needing what the other has. Bulma was the inventor part, and Paxton was the business part. Paxton tried learning how to build, but that ended up with a bang. Bulma tried to get involved with politics, but she always got to bored and fell asleep during their big speeches.
In no way, can she and her brother pull this off.
"Bulma?" asked a worried, feminie voice.
Bulma turned to see the whole gang behind her. She was outside on one of the school's benches. It was Tuesday.
"Do you have time to talk?" asked Launch.
Bulma gave a blank stare to them and just turned back to staring at nothing.
Taking that as a yes, they all sat down. Unfortunately, there wasn't much room, so Goku, Tien, 17, and Vegeta had to stand up.
"Please cheer up B-chan." ChiChi pleaded.
"Yeah, we need you to be all happy and excited for the big game this Friday!" Launch added. She then thought it over. "Well, it was suppose to be yesterday, but we decided to reschedule it cause of your loss."
"So you just need me to pretend as if my dad didn't die and my mother isn't missing so I could just cheer for some shit ass game!" Bulma rephrased harshly.
Launch frowned. "No. I'm just trying my best to cheer you up!" she cried. She then had some tears pouring out, ruining her mascara.
Bulma sighed. She forgot that Launch could be so emotional at sometimes. She turned her head towards Launch and rubbed her back.
"Sorry I'm acting so coldly Launch. I'm just trying to take in what just happened yesterday." Bulma stated.
Launch sniffled a little and nodded her head. She wasn't suppose to be the one sad! Bulma had more on her hands!
Vegeta looked at Launch and scowled. Bulma was their number one priority.
"Enough of your pathetic whining!" Vegeta growled at Launch.
Launch flinched and stopped her sniffling. Bulma sighed softly. She didn't want the attention, she just wanted to be alone!
She got up from her spot and grabbed her stuff. It was already the end of school, minus well see how Paxtons managing the company.
Everyone saw Bulma get up and kept protesting for her leaving, and to stay here and talk. Bulma refused to each time until, Vegeta took grabbed his fiancé's arm and looked her straight in the eye. She gave him a confused look that soon turned into one of shock and anger. Vegeta picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She started yelling and punching his back while Vegeta motioned the gang towards the parking lot. They all nodded their heads and followed them out.
"VEGETA! Let me the HELL go!" Bulma screamed.
Vegeta, being the arrogant and ignorant bastard he is, ignored her and set her down beside his car. Bulma huffed and turned to see the black Camoro she gave him. She turned back and gave Vegeta a glare.
"Why can't you fucking understand! I WANT TO BE ALONE!" Bulma shouted at her fiancé.
Vegeta just smirked and put his arms around her. She squirmed for a while. Seeing that she couldn't get out of his vise-like grip, she stopped and just glared hatefully at him. Bulma saw over Vegeta's shoulder, that everyone was already in their cars.
ChiChi was riding with Goku in his Ferrari. Launch riding in Tien's Escalade Truck, Juu in Krillin's blue mustang, 17 in his silver mercedes-benz, and Yamacha in a convertible blue Ford Shelby GT.
"Is she driving or you taking her?" questioned Goku.
Bulma wanted to say she was driving, but Vegeta answered for her.
"I'm taking her."
Bulma glared at him. "I make my own decisions!" she exclaimed.
Vegeta rolled his eyes and turned to Juu.
"Get her car and drive it back to her home." Vegeta instructed.
He turned back to Bulma and grabbed her bag. Bulma growled and tried to snag her book bag back.
"Alarm off. Doors open." Vegeta commanded the car. It did so and opened all the doors. Bulma fell backwards at the passengers seat upfront and looked up to see Vegeta slam the door behind and say, "Lock doors." He found Bulma's keys in her bag's small pocket, and threw them to Juu.
Juu caught them and exited her boyfriends car, but not before giving him a quick kiss. This emitted a growl from 17.
"Screw off 17." Juu told her brother.
Juu turned towards her boyfriend again. "Pick me up. Ok?"
Krillin nodded.
Juu kissed him again and left for Bulma's Lamborghini. As Juu left, the boys began awwing over Vegeta's ride.
"Woah!" all the boys, except Goku, commented Vegeta's car.
"I didn't know it was voice activated." Krillin awed.
"Same." followed the boys.
Vegeta smirked. "That's because you don't have one."
The boys rolled their eyes at Vegeta's arrogant look.
Bulma scoffed. "Puh-lease! If I wasn't so depressed right now, I would slap that smirk right off your jackass face!"
Vegeta laughed. "So you admit you're depressed!"
"I'm not!"
"Then why'd ya say it?"
"Because I'm so mad, that I have no idea what I'm saying!"
"Bad excuse."
"It's not!"
"Right. Also, how are you gonna slap me?"
"I'm going to get out."
"Nope, there's no way in hell am I gonna let you out."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Beacuse waht?"
"I don't want to."
"Then I'll trash the inside of your car!"
"You wouldn't."
"Then let me the FUCK out!"
"Why?"
"Because I hate small spaces!"
"Sucks for you then."
All the boys laughed at the couples embracement. Goku's and Tien's girlfriends wacked them on the head. Juu soon came back, driving Bulma's black Lamborghini. She heard her boyfriend laughing at Bulma and Vegeta and exited the car. She went to Krillin's mustang and punched him in the stomach.
"Shut up cue ball!" she scolded.
"Y-yes dear." he responded.
Juu smirked and walked back to Bulma's car.
"Are you letting me out?" asked Bulma.
Vegeta looked at her and smirked. He then began rummaging through Bulma's bag.
She watched in horror as Vegeta rummaged through Bulma's bag. He reached into one of the small pockets and pulled out a a pack of gum, her phone, and a small notebook. Vegeta smirked evilly as he figured out what it was. The cover gave it all away. In big bold letters, it said 'BULMA'S JOURNAL'. Bulma shook her head, signaling him not to read it. For once, he listened. He stuffed the small notebook into his pocket and pulled out something that turned Bulma bright red. He pulled out what appeared to be some panties.
"JACKASS!" Bulma screeched through the window.
Vegeta laughed and put it back.
Bulma huffed. She didn't like being in such a cramped place. She began tapping the glass. "Vegeta?" she said in a sweet tone.
Vegeta turned his head and looked at his fiancé.
"LET ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS CAR!"
Vegeta laughed. "No way."
Bulma growled. "Let me out! Can't you see that I want to be alone!"
Vegeta just shrugged.
Bulma glared at him. "Stupid jackass! I don't want to be around you are any of you guys. I want to be alone!"
"Why? Is it because you want to deal with your father's death and your mother's disappearance?"
"Ding, ding, ding! Give the man a prize!" Bulma replied sarcastically. "Of course I do!" she exclaimed. She slouched in her seat. "I wouldn't expect you to understand, your parents are alive." she mumbled.
Vegeta heard this and looked at her. "My father's a monster, and I never knew of my mother's well being until my father informed me." he stated.
Bulma looked at him in surprise. She wasnt aware that Vegeta had heard her. Her look of surprise quickly turned into a scowl.
"At least yours are alive." she hissed.
"My mother, yes. My father, no."
"At least you have one."
Vegeta looked down to see a small tear trail down Bulma's face. He sighed. Should he be himself and tell her to stop crying, or soften up for her? He noticed that everyone was still in the parking lot, waiting for them to lead the way. Vegeta growled.
"GO HOME!" he yelled at his 'friends' behind him.
He smirked as he saw both boys and girls, jump back in surprise. They all nodded and drove off to their respective homes. Juu drove towards Bulma's house of course, as well as Krillin.
Vegeta watched their retreating forms and turned back to his car. He saw Bulma looking forward emotionlessly. He shivered inwardly. He got in and drove off to Bulma's. On the way, there was an uncomfortable silence. Knowing that Bulma wouldnt want to talk, he turned in the radio.
Bulma turned her head so she was now looking at the side window. She closed her eyes, listening intently to the song.
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...
Bulma silently cried. The song was so depressing.
Vegeta pulled up at her house. Bulma exited the car and grabbed her bookbag. She walked towards her house door. She opened it, but not before saying something out loud.
"Why can't I just die?" she quietly mumbled.
Vegeta heard this and growled. Depression was always something he hated.
Out of the main compound, Paxton walked out and greeted Bulma.
"Hey B!"
Bulma just waved and entered her house.
Paxton frowned. He noticed another car at her driveway. He approached it to see Vegeta in there. He growled.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" he questioned harshly.
"Taking your depressed sister home!" Vegeta said, equally home.
Paxton sighed. "She's in depression?"
Vegeta nodded.
"No wonder she wasn't responsive." Paxton shook his head.
Vegeta grunted and pulled away from Bulma's house. He took one last glance at Bulma's bedroom window and saw her burying her face in her knees. The T.V. was on. He sighed. Why was she crying?
Vegeta drove back to Goku's and went to the kitchen. He grabbed a soda and went upstairs to his room.
"Vegeta!" yelled Raditz.
Vegeta turned around. He was already halfway up the stairs.
"Come here and watch this." he ordered.
Vegeta shrugged and followed him downstairs. The T.V. was on. Turles, Goku, and Raditz were all seated, watching the news intently. Vegeta sat down and looked at the T.V. His eyes bulged and his eyes pricked up.
"Just now, right outside Hishigama hotel, Bunny Briefs has been found, dead. Her body had many bruises and dried blood when localist, John Masitori, found her."
"My God." said Turles.
"Same." said Raditz.
"Poor little Blue." sighed Goku.
Vegeta just remained quiet. Is there no end towards Bulma's grief?
Meanwhile, somewhere in downtown Tokyo
"Is it done?" asked a feminine voice.
A caped figure stood before her. It nodded.
The unhooded figure smiled wickedly.
"Perfect. If I can't hurt Vegeta, then I'll hurt what's precious to him."
The hooded figure then raised it's head. "Do I still get to keep the girl?"
The unhooded figure nodded.
Bulma was in deep trouble.
Like I said at the top, no 'author talks to character' for this chapter. But I will say what's happening next.
Up next! Bulma's in danger and she's being followed. Vegeta is having some problems with her and gets mad when she almost gets killed. (Oops! I said to much!)
