It was so lonely laying there all alone... No one to talk to. No one to look at. Just him. Loneliness... All it does is make you sadder. Loneliness is a terrible thing. Unfortunately, Trunks has only known loneliness for the last few days... While Gohan was doing his homework, Bulma working hard on new inventions, and all the other Z-Fighters out having fun or training, Trunks was alone, in a room that he has seen so much of. A room where people have died a peaceful or slow and painful death... A room where certain people give good or horrible and sad news... A room unfortunately Trunks has only known bad things to happen... A room that is now Trunks' new home for a long time...


"Excuse me Trunks, but you have a visitor." Trunks looked up at the short, squeaky nurse.


"Uh, really?? Are you sure you have the right room??" The nurse gave him a weird look.


"Of course I have the right room. A young man is here. He has black hair, and..."


"Ok, ok bring him in." The nurse nodded and stepped aside to let "the young man" in. Trunks sat up so he could get a better look at who was making their way into Trunks' humble little hospital room. Trunks smiled as he saw his best friend walk in. Gohan was glad to to see Trunks as well. Gohan made his way to a chair beside Trunks' bed and sat down.


"How are you feeling Trunks?? Are you better?? Feel any pain?? I hope you don't mind me asking, but what the hell happened?? I got a call saying that you a tried to kill your self! Well, I got the call a few days ago... But this is the first chance I got to come and see you! My mom... She just doesn't trust me anymore. Oh well, i'm glad I can fly, other wise I doubt I would ever get to see you again! Or just in a really long time. So do you think you can tell me why you did what you did?? Or um... I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask... I just... wanted to know... Is there anything I can do?? To make you fell better?? Not that you should feel bad... It's just I know this is a hard time for you. Well er... Not that you cant handle it of course, just Vegeta being killed and all. Oops, I shouldn't have brought him up... Oh great, I blew it... Ok everything I have just said... Umm Maybe I should start over... Or uh maybe I should just go... You look like you need some rest. Oh gezz... Oops, no no, it's not like you need rest because your week, it's just i'm sure you have been up all night with stuff on your mind. Well, not that you would have a lot on your mind, I mean you haven't being doing anything lately... Not that your just really lazy... Its just that... Well..." Gohan stopped talking and got up from his chair. "Never mind..." Trunks blinked and and tried to call after him but nothing came out of his mouth. He had it opened the hole time Gohan was talking, it seemed his mouth had gotten really dry. Gohan, maybe hoping that Trunks would call after him to come back, kept walking until he got out the door. He leaned against the wall and felt really bad.


"Great... Now Trunks is really mad at me. I should never should have came here. Oh well, what done is done." He walked down the hall and left that hospital as he started to fly away, he could here someone calling him. He turned his head and saw Trunks leaning out one of the windows.


"Gohan!! Come back!!" Gohan stopped flying and looked at Trunks and started fly his way. Trunks opened the window wide so Gohan could get through. Trunks helped him in and sat on his bed. Gohan sat back down on the chair he sat on before and held his head in his hands.


"I'm sorry Trunks, i've been so scared and worried about you. I don't mean to sound like your mom, but I have been thinking for a long time. Because of the computer thing, and my mom not believing you, i'm I the reason you well... Did what you did??" Trunks closed his eyes and fell onto his pillow. Trunks new that Gohan might have a had something to do with it. Trunks felt so bad about Gohan having so much homework and his mom not trusting him anymore, he felt somewhat responsible about the hole thing. However, Gohan didn't need to know that, he already has so much to think about and all... Trunks opened his eyes and looked at the face on Gohan. Trunks not saying anything, Gohan got the impression that he had a lot to do with it. Gohan lowered his head.


"I'm so sorry Trunks..."


"No! No Gohan, you didn't have anything to do with it. It was just me. I guess... You had nothing to do with it. So just don't be so hard on yourself. Relax!" Gohan sort of let out a little laugh.


"You know Trunks, having to do homework 24/7, having my mom telling me to do extra chores, train, plus having my mom yelling at me all the time... It's just a little hard to relax." Trunks laughed and looked at Gohan.


"Ha! I had no idea that your mother was so strict and stuff! But I do feel really bad... It's my fault you have to do all this. Is there anything I can do?"


"Nah, but thanks anyhow."


"So uh, what's your mom up to?? Working on new inventions?" Trunks looked out the window and watched a flock of birds fly by.


"I have no clue Gohan, she never comes to visit me so I guess she is." Gohan also looked out the window. A bird flew down and sat on the window sill. It moved it's head around and looked from Gohan to Trunks. It hopped around a few times before flying away again.


"Trunks, before when I first came, I tried to ask you why you, well tried to kill yourself. Do you think you could tell me why??"


"I'm sorry Gohan, but not just yet. I have had to tell a lot of people and I rather not tell anymore just yet. And it's just one of those things that I would like to forget. Plus the doctors think it's best that I not tell anyone yet. Not until i'm ready, and i''m not. I'm sorry." Gohan smiled and sat back into his chair.


"No problem Trunks."


Neither of them had said a word for a long time. Trunks just lay there on his hospital bed, almost ready to fall asleep. Gohan was sitting in the chair sleeping. After it had gotten dark the same nurse came in and told Gohan that he had to go home. He said good-bye to Trunks and told him that he would come tomorrow at the same time. When Gohan left the nurse sat in the chair and told Trunks that he had a good friend.


"I know... I know."
