Chapter 2: Love is Leaving (Bulma's story)
*******************************
There were times I knew
But I found it too hard to say
You were special in my life
Never thought you'd go away
I'll be strong,
I'll get by without you in my life.
********************************
Bulma sat on her bed and sighed. She looked at herself in a mirror, and said, "Look at me. I'm a mess. Why should I cry over him? I can do much better, can't I?" She sighed again, getting out of bed. "Why am I crying? I knew this was coming. I saw all the little glances, all the phone numbers and notes. I should have said something." These question and more ran through her mind, but the major one was, why.
**********************************
I can see through your lies
Did you ever love me?
I never found your love inside
You and I know love is leaving
And you don't want me anymore
Why should I even try?
*******************************
"Love" she thought to herself. "Did he even really love me? Was it all a lie?" She remembered the time in the ice cream shop, with him and the counter girl. She saw her hand him something, he said it was a receipt. "That's funny," she thought to herself, "seeing that the ice cream shop doesn't make receipts. And if it did you're the only one getting one." She ate her ice cream in silence, not even looking at him. She wondered how the night had been so great but was garbage now. They had gotten such a wonderful comment from an elderly couple. She was hoping that Yamcha was going to propose soon. They had been going out for a few years now, faithfully. "Until now" she thought to herself. This couldn't be happening to her she thought. "It's all a bad dream" she said to herself over and over again. But it wasn't, and she knew that.
*************************************
You and I know love is leaving
Now you're the last thing on my mind
Someone else I will find
Cos you mean nothing to me,
A memory I've left behind.
************************************
They both saw this coming, the breakup that is. They stopped being so close and comfortable with each other. They started to drift apart really. "If he can find someone else, so can I" she said gruffly. "But who?"
***************************************
If I ever made you cry any reason I can't find
It was lonely by your side,
Like a fool I stood by you
I'll be strong,
I'll get by without you in my life
I can see through your lies
Did you ever love me?
I never found your love inside
You and I know love is leaving
And you don't want me anymore
Why should I even try?
************************************
She stood by his side day by day being the perfect girlfriend. They went to parties and other gatherings, he showed her off as the perfect girl. "Was that all I was to him, a trophy girl?" she sighed again. All those parties, mostly hers, she clung to his arm and went with him everywhere, but it just didn't seem like it was right. They said they were in love but they weren't. They were just pretending, but for how long.
**************************************
You and I know love is leaving
Now you're the last thing on my mind
Someone else I will find
Cos you mean nothing to me,
A memory I've left behind.
Is there something I could do?
Is there something I should say?
Is there someone else,
to keep me from you now?
**************************************
"There is someone else though." She thought to herself. "But does he love me?" Two nights ago, Yamcha called trying to apologize to her, he said how much he missed her and that he wanted her back, she just hung up on him. She was furious, how dare he try to get her back after how he treated her. She was so mad, and what really ticked her off was that Vegita had heard the whole conversation.
"Trouble with your weakling boyfriend? He said in a smug way.
"Shut-up Vegita." This wasn't unusual, the two always fought, but today was different. She broke down crying and ran to her room. To her surprise Vegita had followed her.
"What do you want!" she screamed at him.
"What's the matter woman."
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes"
"Okay" she said unsure about what Vegita was thinking. So she told him everything about the previous nights. He told her that it would be okay, he promised her that everything will be better. Then he leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips. She didn't pull back. When they broke the kiss, he looked at her and flew away. She wondered what the hell just happened.
"But now he's gone too" she thought to herself. She curled up on the bed again and cried herself to sleep.
