Vegeta pressed the piece of glass against his wrist

Author's Notes – Ok, here it is, the second part.  In this, the words to the letter is represented by the Italics and ::these are thoughts::  Hope you enjoy!!  Tynan79

Disclaimer – I don't own DBZ, or any of the characters.  I also don't own the song, Don't Cry.

Vegeta pressed the piece of glass against his wrist.  As the tears ran down his face, and the blood began to drip from the small cut on his wrist, he noticed something.  He set the piece of glass down, and ran a hand across his eyes to wipe away the tears.  He picked up what was left of the picture frame.  The picture was hanging halfway out of the frame, but it was something behind it that caught his attention.  He pulled the picture out of the frame, then examined the white object behind it.  It was paper with writing on it.  He picked it up and looked more closely at it, it had his name written on it.  He sat back, and opened the folded paper.  It was a note from Bulma to him.  He began to read.

Well Vegeta, I can assume a few things if you're reading this.  1. I must have died.  Vegeta winced.  And 2. You broke the picture of me that was sitting on the dresser.  You really are predictable Vegeta!  And you had better get a new frame for that picture you jerk!  Anyway, lets move on.  There were a few things I wanted to talk to you about, but I figured it would be easier to write this, than try to do it in person.  Here goes.

First of all, Vegeta, I want you to know how much I love you.  I know you know, but I wanted to tell you one more time.  And even though you tried to hide it, I know you love me and our children.

Moving on, I know it will be rough for you when I'm gone.  You have tried to be independent your whole life, well guess what bud, you need friends!  And you have some.  Goku and ChiChi will be there for you.

::Feh, I don't need that 3rd class Saiya-jin baka or his loud mouth mate!::

Now I know you're thinking that you don't need them, but you do, Vegeta.  Think about what you were doing when you found this.  Obviously you threw the picture.  What then, huh?  Hopefully nothing stupid!

Vegeta looked at his wrist.  ::Hm…I wonder if she would think of this as stupid?::

Now Vegeta, I want you to promise me something.  You must say it out loud, ok?  I'll hear you cause you know I'm gonna haunt your ass!  Vegeta smirked.  Now then, promise me that you won't do anything foolish or harmful to yourself.  Go on…Say it, I'm waiting! 

Vegeta chuckled but said, "Ok you stupid Woman.  I promise."  He froze when the hair on the back of his neck stood up, and he swore he felt someone squeeze his shoulder.

"Bulma?" he whispered, but the feeling was gone just as quickly as it had come.  He shuddered and continued reading.

Ok, thank you Vegeta.  Now I'm gonna hold you to your word, got it!  Remember Trunks and Bra need you.  How would they feel if they lost you too?  They'd be devastated.  So you have to be there for them.  Please don't bottle yourself up again.  Goku is a very good friend, and he considers you as one of his friends.  Take advantage of that.  If you're feeling overwhelmed, call him.  Let ChiChi take the kids and the two of you go out.

Have fun Vegeta.  I give you permission to move on when you are ready and if you find someone new.  Vegeta snorted.  Don't you snort at me, Vegeta!  I mean it!  From what I gathered from you, a Saiya-jin can live quite a while if he isn't killed off.  I don't want you being alone that whole time.

And finally, I included the words to a song.  I want you to read them, whenever you feel overwhelmed.  You can make it Vegeta.  Your friends love you, your children love you, and I love you.  Don't turn your back on them because I'm gone.  That's not what I want you to do.  Remember…" Don't cry, not alone.  Don't cry, tonight, my baby.  Don't cry, you'll always be loved.  Don't cry, tonight, my baby" (see song below.)

I love you Vegeta!

Until we meet again, behave you big lug!

All my love,

Bulma

Vegeta sat and stared at the letter for a moment, then he turned to the words to the song.  As he read them, he began to cry.  He finished reading them, then stood up.  He picked the picture up and looked at it for a moment, then he gently pressed his lips to it.

"I love you too, Bulma," he whispered.

He then laid down on the bed, and holding the letter and picture to his chest, fell asleep.

Don't Cry
(Seal) 1994

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Those tears are for someone else.

I hear your voice on the phone.

I hear you feel so alone.

My baby, ohh my baby.  Please my baby, my baby .

When we were young, and truth was paramount.

We were older then, and we lived a life without any doubt.

Those memories, they seem so long ago.

What's become of them?        When you feel like me I want you to know.

(...They've all gone for sure...)

Don't cry, not alone.

Don't cry, tonight, my baby.

Don't cry, you'll always be loved.

Don't cry, tonight, my baby.

Today I dreamed, of friends I had before.

And I wonder why, the ones who care don't call anymore.

My feelings hurt, but you know I overcome the pain.

And I'm stronger now, there can't be a fire unless there's a flame.

Don't cry, your not alone.

Don't cry, tonight, my baby.

Don't cry, you'll always be loved.

Don't cry oh...

Limousines and sycophants, don't leave me now,

'Cause I'm afraid what you've done to me.

Is now the wolf in my bed.

In my head,  in my head,  in my head.

The challenges, we took were hard enough.

They get harder now, even when we think that we've had enough.

Don't feel alone, 'cause it's I you understand.

I'm your sedative, take a piece of me whenever you can.

Don't cry....           you're not alone.

(...don't be so hard on yourself...)

Don't cry....          tonight    my baby

(...These tears are for.....someone else...)

Don't cry....              you'll always be loved

(...I hear your voice on the phone...)

Don't cry....      tonight sweet baby

(...I hear you fear...   so alone.)

Don't cry...don't cry...don't cry...don't you cry...my baby

Cry...Don't cry...'Cause you still be loved

Don't cry, don't cry tonight…Ohh..

My baby....Don't cry tonight, you'll still be loved

Author's Note – Ok, here we go.  I've decided to do a few more chapters.  One will defiantly be either from Trunks' POV or Vegeta watching how Trunks reacts to the death of Bulma.  Then maybe Goku and ChiChi.  This one was the harder to write than the first one was.  At first I wasn't sure how to go, then last night I played that song, and it all fell into place.  Hope you like it!  I cried while I was writing it, LOL!  Please let me know what you think!  Tynan79
