PART 9 Just an Illusion
Dreaming of you
Mid'le of the night
The moment we met
It was love at first sight
How could I have
These feelings for you
Such strong emotions
Marron found herself awake with sweat all over her body. Her
breathing was rapid. She looked over at the clock and saw that
it was 12:23 in the morning. She was having a dream about
Trunks. They were together and it seemed like they would never
be apart. Then he disappeared...like an illusion...
Just an illusion
Nothing to feel
Back in the world where
My dreams aren't real
I want to touch
This desire's too much
Now I'm alone
In my room, I groan
Of the pain
She lay down on her bed, trying to sleep but she just couldn't.
She stared at the wall. A picture of her family and friends
hung on the wall. The sight of Trunks made her heart ache. She
wanted to reach out and touch him but she knew she couldn't.
She could never touch him again. She could dream of him for
as long as she wanted but she could never make her dreams come
true. She felt so hopeless and heartbroken.
I try to hide
What's left of me, inside
Why did you leave me alone
Alone--Alone by myself
An illusion
Image in my head
I cry in my bed
Longing for your touch
Too much--just too much
Marron put her sheets over her head. She tried to hold back the
tears that wanted to be let out. She couldn't cry. It wouldn't
do anything for her. Crying was just stupid. Nobody would care.
Why would they? She was just a hopeless little girl.
Marron was scared to let her tears fall. If she did, she
would be opening up her heart. If she did, someone could take
away what was left of her. The pain was too much. She couldn't
hold back the tears anymore so she cried. She cried because
no one was there to steal the remaining feelings she had. She
cried and cried and cried.
Goten walked over to Marron.
"Hey. Are you better?" he asked.
"A little." Marron managed to say. Goten sat down next to her.
"It's in two months." Goten said.
"I know."
"And he's coming this weekend."
Marron was awakened by what Goten said.
"He's coming back?" she asked with a tone of happiness and sorrow
in her voice.
"Yeah." Goten replied. Marron wanted to act out the joy she
felt inside but realized that he probably would be coming with
his new bride-to-be.
"Why would I care?" Marron said.
"You love him, don't you?" Goten asked.
"But he doesn't return my feelings."
"He's happy, isn't he?"
"Well...I guess."
"Isn't that what you want for him?"
"I want him to be happy but...I..."
"Want it to be with you."
Marron could only reply with a nod.
"Then you're jealous." Goten said.
"I know that." Marron replied.
"But you want him to be happy and being jealous is caring about
yourself. He's with who he wants to be with and that's what matters."
"Well...it kinda selfish of me to want him all for myself..."
Marron looked at Goten and smiled. Then she burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Goten asked.
"Nothing, nothing." Marron said. "It's just, I never expected
those kind of things to come from your mouth."
"It is kinda weird, huh?"
"Where do you get these things?"
"My best friend Marron."
Marron stared at Goten for a while.
"I told you that?" she asked in surprise.
"You told me that when me and Paris broke up." Goten said.
"I...I guess I did!" Marron said with a smile. The two laughed
for a moment and then looked out at the sea.
"Thank you, Goten-kun." Marron said.
"For what?" Goten asked.
"Being there all the time."
Goten smiled and nodded.
"Thank you too, Marron."
"For what?"
"Telling me what to say."
Marron smiled.
"We'll always be friends, right?" Marron asked.
"Always." Goten replied.
"No matter what?"
"No matter what."
"We'll always be there for each other and it'll never be just
an illusion."
"Never."
Marron smiled and her eyes were getting teary because Goten
was the only one who ever made a promise to her like that.
But she kept her tears inside because Goten already knew how
she felt and tears would do nothing but worry him.
"Thank you." she said.
"For what?"
"Nothing. Just thank you."
