I woke up to the sickening sound of birds chirping outside my window.
The sun was beating proudly behind a thin layer of clouds and the sky was a
pathetic shade of blue. I could smell the bitter sweet resin of the morning
dew coating the ivy that snaked beneath my window and I wanted to scream at
the world for being so damn cheerful when all I wanted was to die in peace,
alone. I looked at the clock sitting on my dresser and I had to blink to make
sure I wasn't seeing things. The bright red numbers blistered 6:30am into my
dry, foggy eyes and I threw my arm over my closed lids against the assault.
I was up most of the night, thinking about him, me, us. Sometimes I could
swear I felt him, standing next to my bed looking down on me with love
flooding through his features, but I would open my eyes and there would only
be the black silence of an empty room. I remember looking at the clock when
it read 4:00am and sighing at my unwelcome insomnia, and closing my eyes,
which is when I must've fallen asleep.
I grumbled incoherently, entangling the sheets that had wrapped around me from
all my tossing and turning and rolled heavily out of bed. I rubbed my swollen,
red eyes and yawned heavily as I trudged to the bathroom, head hung in defeat.
I shed my boxers and stepped gingerly into the shower, and turning on the hot
water, I closed my eyes trying desperately to wash away my heart break. It
had been a month since Trunks had left and I was like a zombie. I knew
people were worried about me but I didn't care, I didn't care about anything
anymore.
He said he'd write me! but I haven't gotten one letter from him, not one and
I would go down and check every miserable day. Tears threatened to escape my
eyes again and I quickly washed them away and stepped out onto my cold
tile floor. I shivered and wrapped a towel around my waist and looked at
myself in the mirror. I had dark circles under my eyes and my skin looked
pale, whiter then usual which only enhanced the bags under my eyes. My face
had considerable thinned since he left, I could barely bring myself to eat
anything, which worried my family further. I could hardly function without
him, the days don't seem as beautiful, my life doesn't seem as fulfilled,
and everything has lost the colour it once had. I sighed heavily and walked
to my dresser, pulling out a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, put them on
and trudged downstairs slowly not wanting to face my mother this morning.
My mother had been acting strangely since that day at the air port, she seemed
so tense and irritated, and she would direct it towards me whenever she could.
Plus, I knew she'd force me to eat something but I could taste the sour bile
that had made its way to my mouth making me feel sick. I gripped my aching
chest to pound the tears back down into my soul, not ready to display any
emotion in front of my mom. She would look at me and start crying herself,
which would force me to comfort her and I couldn't even comfort myself! let
alone a hysterical woman who only wanted the attention she wasn't getting.
She was standing at the sink, washing a head of lettuce and whistling a
depressingly happy tune. She turned around and smiled bitterly at me, I
was most defiantly going to puke.
"Good morning Goten! your breakfast is on the table." I looked at the large
pile of food stacked on a small plate on the table. My stomach protested
loudly but I stumbled to my seat and began nibbling on a carrot. My mother
looked at numbly and went back to washing the lettuce.
"Did you sleep well honey?" Chichi asked walking to the counter and pulling
out a sharp knife. Maybe if I'm lucky she'll go hysterical and kill me, nope
just chopping the lettuce.
"No, not really." I replied flatly, taking a small sip of orange juice and
forcing it down my dry throat. She looked at me again with tears brimming
her eyes and I looked at her sharply.
"please don't start crying again mother, I'll be fine." She wiped her eyes
with her sleeve and proceeded to cut down on the leaves with agonizingly
slow movements. I feel like that head of lettuce, only I have to live
through my suffering, the damn plant gets to die!
"I'm sorry Goten, I'm just worried about you, you barely eat, you don't sleep
and you don't go anywhere! I'm lucky if I get to see you out of your room.
Maybe you should go out tonight, I'm sure Maron wouldn't mind some company,
I know it isn't the same but." She paused for a second, a mischievous smile
grazing her thin lips. I shuddered, horrified at her expression and almost
threw up the little food I've eaten. She is not going to try and set me up,
is she? Oh God she is! No! I can always refuse, the only one I want is gone
and I refuse to see anyone else, ever. I may never get Trunks but I will
always be faithful to him, no matter what.
"You know, the last time I checked Maron was still single...maybe you two
should consider dating." She smiled at her brilliance, proud that she
thought of such a 'novel' idea. I panicked, when my mother got her mind on
something nothing could stop her. I had to think fast! how can I get out of
this, I don't want to destroy her pride but I refuse to date Maron! I like her
and all but she's more like my sister, and besides I couldn't do that to her
knowing what my feelings are. I have to get out of this....but how.
"Well that's a good idea mom," She beamed proudly, puffing out a little like
father does when he does something good. "But, you know if I start dating it
would take away from my studies, and you wouldn't want me to fail would you?"
She looked at me with fiery eyes and I knew she wasn't going to let me off the
hook that easily. She squared her shoulders and placed the knife down on the
counter, folding her arms over her chest and standing her ground.
"You know, you act like you don't want to do anything. Every since Trunks
left all you do is mop around the house, for Kami's sake he didn't die."
I shot her an icy glare and bit back the tears I had fought so hard to push
back down.
"It feels like it to me! how the hell would you know what it's like to lose
the only friend you have in the world. You don't know mother, so don't try
to tell me how I should feel." Her eyes narrowed and she walked up to me,
looking down at me like a bug that needed to be killed quickly.
"Do not take that tone with me! I'm still your mother dammit."
I stood up so that we were at eye level and stared, angrily at her. She stood
there stubbornly, not flinching and grinding her teeth to keep her anger in
check. I glared at her with all the emotions that had whirled around inside
me during the last month; a swirling tempest just waiting to be released to
reek havoc on anyone in its path. I could feel my ki raise with my anger and
she twitched as she recognized the heat emerging from me. I spun hotly on my
heels, turning my back on her, clenching my fists and biting my lip to ease
my anger.
"I'll be in my room." I began my death march up the stairs when a thought
crossed my mind briefly, why did she mention Maron and not Bra? Not that I
would date either of them but I'm considerably closer to Bra, but I shrugged
it off as non sense from a hysterical woman.
I turned around slowly, half way to my destination, almost afraid to ask.
"Did I get anything in the mail today?" I held my breath and started up
the stairs again, knowing what the answer would be.
"you did." Was all I heard and I froze in my place, staring blankly at her
from over my slumped shoulders. "I think it's from Trunks." Her voice
lowered in disapproval, I ignored it. Was she serious? did I just hear her
right? She frowned up at my expression and walked to the pile of bills and
newspapers pulling out a small, thick envelope.
She held up the letter and I almost lost my composure. He wrote me! he
finally wrote me! I tore down the stairs and grabbed the envelope from her
small, boney fingers, squeaked a barely audible 'thanks' and ran to my room,
slamming the door shut.
I sat on the bed and stared at it. It was from Trunks all right, I would
know his printing anywhere. I lifted the letter up to my nose and lightly
smelled the paper, catching a small hint of Trunks scent lingering there.
My breath caught in my throat at the familiar smell and I closed out every
thing around me, small tears falling from my closed eyes. I could picture
him in front of me, a small smirk playing over his luscious lips, his arms
crossed over his broad, firm chest just begging me to 'play' with him.
I opened my eyes slowly and looked down at the letter in my hands again.
I slid my finger softly over the seal and pried it open. I took the letter
out of the envelope and smiled at how thick the it was. I opened it and
smiled the first genuine smile I had had all month as I read the letter
quietly to myself.
Dearest Goten,
Hi Chibi, do you miss me yet? Well I miss you so much! it just isn't the
same without you ya know. I'm so sorry it took me so long to write to you
but it took longer then I thought to get settled in. I thought I was going
to be staying in hotel until I found a suitable apartment but my mother had
arranged for me to stay with one of her overseas friends. She's really nice
actually, her names Jen (weird name ne?), I think you'd like her, she's
kind of a nut but she makes me laugh. She says you can come and visit
anytime you want, so I hope you take her up on that offer, I would love to
see you. Listen to me, we've only been separated for a month and I already
want you to come visit me. I can't remember a time when we've been away this
long from each other can you? So what've you been up to? things are going
good over here, well as good as they can get being away from everyone I love.
Turns out the guys in charge over here have screwed things up royally and of
course I have to fix it. It's going to be a long, tiring few months while
I straighten out this mess, but my one driving force is knowing that the
sooner I can get everything stable over here the sooner I can come home to
you. Gee you'd think we were a couple! hahaha wouldn't that drive Tousan
insane! hehe I'm just kidding. So how is everyone? I hope things haven't
gone to hell too much since I've been gone, I don't anything to be too
different when I come back, hehehe I'm confused enough :) anyway lets see what
else is new? It's not as cold as I thought it would be, you know how everyone
says Canada is like a big freezer, well it isn't that bad. I don't know where
people got that idea from anyway! It rains here more then anything but at
least it's green (the scenery not the rain Baka :)). So have you made any
new friends yet? You better not be trying to replace me! hehehe yeah right
like anyone could replace me, the Prince of the Saiyans! (I must be home sick,
I'm starting to sound like Tousan.) I haven't really met anyone new, except
Jen and her friends which are just as nutty. Then again I have no real want
to meet new people, mostly because I don't think I'll be living here long
enough to really need any new friends, besides who needs friends when you
have Son Goten! See don't worry, I still luv ya, and I promise I'll come back
I just don't know when. Well I gotta run, Jen's calling me for dinner.
Love ya
Trunks
I bit back the tears that threatened to fall from my half focused eyes. I
couldn't decide if they were tears of joy or heartbreak but I hugged his
letter to me, hoping it would ease my pounding heart. He misses me! he really
misses me! I laughed to myself at how short the letter really was, knowing
full well how big Trunks's writing is, but I knew this was only the beginning
of the 'books' he would soon be sending.
As I held his letter to my pounding heart all the sorrow that had been
drowning me all month seemed to vaporize into something like...relief.
I stood up and walked towards my desk, pulling out a pad of paper and pen.
I sat down and poured my heart out to the paper infront of me.
Dear Trunks,
I'm so glad you finally wrote me. I was getting worried that you'd forget.
I miss you too and I can't wait to see you. So you're staying with one of
your mother's crazy friends, Jen was it? you're right that is a weird name,
and I wouldn't mind coming to see you :) so tell her to expect me. Things
have been quite slow around here and everything is boring without you. Don't
worry, I'm not making any new friends, how could I knowing you'd be coming
home some day. I know I sound like some love-sick puppy but I just don't
want any other friends. You're the only person who can fully understand me,
and not only because we are both half Saiyans. We've grown up together, I
know up together, I know you like I know myself and I don't want to know
anyone else. As you said, who needs friends when you have Briefs Trunks!
Anyway so it rains a lot huh? hehe I always thought it snowed all the time
in Canada! Well I'll make a point not to listen to my mother about 'worldly'
things anymore. You're family's doing fine although Bra is a little worse-
for-wear, she misses you dreadfully.
Your mother is working hard as always, building some new secret invention
that we're not allowed to know about. I think she's just trying to take her
mind off you not being here, we all are really. Your father spars a lot,
which is nothing new, but my mother tells me that sometimes he doesn't come
home for days at a time. I think he's trying to work out a lot of his issues,
although you know he'll never tell anyone.
Gohan's doing great and Videl is taking it easy for a while. Pan cries a lot,
she had a huge crush on you for years (you knew that right? If not, don't
tell her I told you). But don't worry, she's getting a lot of support from
Bra and Maron, (who also had a big crush on you.)
I suppose that's everyone, OH WAIT! My father's as childish as always, forever
trying to make me smile. My mother is such a fruit cake! She cries all the
time and she didn't even like you that much! Sometimes I wish she would just
dig a hole and crawl in it! Her constant mothering of me was fine when we
were kids, but for God's sake I'm 20 years old. I know, I know I should just
move out but she won't let me go anywhere until I finish University, so I get
to complain all I want. I guess it never bothered me as much when you were
here, I could tolerate anything as long as you were with me. I find I'm
considerably irritable since you left, the world just isn't as fun anymore.
I suppose that's what happens when you separate a friendship like ours, but
it could just be me.
Well I should probably go now, it's almost noon and you know how my mother
gets when I'm not down for lunch. I can't to hear from you again, so please
don't take too long next time. Miss ya!
Love Always
Goten.
I carefully folded the letter, and placed it in an envelop. I should of told
Trunks the truth! That I'm dying without him, that I can barely eat, sleep,
or breathe without him. I should've told him my true feelings. But no! I
can't, I know how hard things are for him. I know he misses his family and I
had to reassure him that they feel the same. I couldn't make him, my beloved
feel guilty for leaving me, even though it would probably bring him back to me.
I know this is for the best. This way he can live his life well and travel
just as he always dreamed, I'm not one to shatter dreams. I knew in my heart
now that I would see him again, and that some how melted the ice that had
encased my broken heart.
Well here's the first chapter (the first post was only the prologue) and I
have a little warning, if Chichi is one of your fav characters I suggest you
not read any further...I do some major Chichi bashing in the first two chapters
of this fic. I really don't like Chichi and I'm sorry if this offends anyone.
Well if you still want to read the fic then by all means enjoy! this will be
a four part story with a few twists and turns :) but that's all part of the
fun..so please enjoy!

Bra and Maron, (who also had a big crush on you.)
I suppose that's everyone, OH WAIT! My father's as childish as always, forever
trying to make me smile. My mother is such a fruit cake! She cries all the
time and she didn't even like you that much! Sometimes I wish she would just
dig a hole and crawl in it! Her constant mothering of me was fine when we
were kids, but for God's sake I'm 20 years old. I know, I know I should just
move out but she won't let me go anywhere until I finish University, so I get
to complain all I want. I guess it never bothered me as much when you were
here, I could tolerate anything as long as you were with me. I find I'm
considerably irritable since you left, the world just isn't as fun anymore.
I suppose that's what happens when you separate a friendship like ours, but
it could just be me.
Well I should probably go now, it's almost noon and you know how my mother
gets when I'm not down for lunch. I can't to hear from you again, so please
don't take too long next time. Miss ya!
Love Always
Goten.
I carefully folded the letter, and placed it in an envelop. I should of told
Trunks the truth! That I'm dying without him, that I can barely eat, sleep,
or breathe without him. I should've told him my true feelings. But no! I
can't, I know how hard things are for him. I know he misses his family and I
had to reassure him that they feel the same. I couldn't make him, my beloved
feel guilty for leaving me, even though it would probably bring him back to me.
I know this is for the best. This way he can live his life well and travel
just as he always dreamed, I'm not one to shatter dreams. I knew in my heart
now that I would see him again, and that some how melted the ice that had
encased my broken heart.
