Chapter 4:
All of these years, I trusted him. He was my best friend! I thought he was a reliable person but…ha! There's probably no such thing as 'friends' at least, not for me because the person I trusted the most turned out to be a betrayer!
Trunks felt blood rushing through his head as he headed for the beach. I need some air, I need space but why can't people just leave me alone? He stared back at the castle. I could have done it tonight! I could have ran away and have my freedom. I planned everything out perfectly but I never, ever thought that he would tell on me!
"Prince! Come back here!"
Trunks twirled his head
around and saw his best friend, well, ex-best friend Goten running towards him.
"Go away Goten!" he said through clenched teeth. "Get away from me!"
"But Prince, look at the dark clouds in the sky! There's
going to be a thunderstorm for sure! Don't take the boat out, please! If you
want to let out your anger, you can beat me up." Goten looked desperate.
"Oh, are you going to go and tell on me again?" Trunks
sneered. "Go ahead! I don't care!"
A hurt look crossed Goten's face. "Look, I didn't mean it!"
"Why can't you just let me have some peace? And leave me
alone! I would have been long gone now! I could have run away from this messed
up life! I could have had a free life when nobody is bugging me about getting
married every second, but no!" Trunks glared at Goten. "You had to go and tell
on me. All this time I had trusted you with all of my plans! I thought you are
my friend but now…" Trunks' voice trailed off and he started running towards
the sea.
He could hear Goten yelling for him to come back but he kept
on going. "Damn you, Goten!" He mumbled under him breath.
He raced towards his boat, which he kept hidden under a pile of seaweed, and dragged it out. He lugged it towards the sea. A shot of thunder startled him and made him look up. Goten was right, there are a lot of dark clouds in the sky. Maybe I shouldn't go sailing right now, he hesitated then shrugged away all his worries.
Who cares? I mean, if I drowned or something that will save me from being forced to marry, right?
