Trunks stayed the night with me but left early to bring Cammy home from the hospital. I still felt like a fool for jumping to comclusions but Trunks seemed to forgive me easily enough. Now my only visit was the meeting with Cammy.
I don't know why I agreed to go. Call it temporary insanity but whatever reason, I regret it now. As far as I'm concerned Cammy was, is and always will be a snake in the grass so I don't trust her one bit.
I called Kyoko this morning to apologize for ignoring her and Bra when I fled the hospital and she nearly died when I told her of the meeting. She even went so far as to beg me not to go but I told her I'd already promised so she wished me luck.
I looked over at my clock, 12:57pm. I was supposed to be at Capsule Corp at 1:15 so I double checked myself in the mirror and took off out the window. My heart was pounding in my chest and I knew it was my nerves.
When I got to the door I knocked and Bulma answered. After exchanging a few words I made my way up the stairs and down the hallway until I reached the guest room that Cammy was using. I knocked and after a moment I heard her call out.
"Come in." When I opened the door she was smiling but once she caught sight of me her face became a frown.
"Hi Cammy. Trunks told me to stop by and see you." The look on her face made me feel so unwelcome that I was about to leave but I stopped myself. I was bound and determined to find out why she'd invited me over.
"Sit down Panny. Lets... chat." She smiled sarcastically.
I bit back a distasteful comment and sat down in the arm chair next to the bed.
"I don't like you Pan..."
"How blunt." I muttered as she continued speaking.
"... and I am positive that you dislike me too." She stopped speaking and looked at me with an unreadble expression.
"What's your point?" My nerves and temper were already at their limits.
"Look... everything was fine between Trunks and I until you came back around. You do know that this whole thing is your fault right?!"
"WHAT?!" I jumped from my seat and looked at her fiercly. "How do you fingure that!?"
"When Trunks and I first started dating, I was the only one that he cared about. The only problem was everytime you came around it was like I disappeared and the sun and moon revolved around you. Then you went to college and it was all okay again. That is, of course, until you came back."
"What is your point Cammy?" I used all my self-restraint not to knock her silly right then.
"My point is that the moment you called him from college, he forgot about me."
"Why would you care anyways!? You cheated on him!"
"Not until you came around! The moment you came home, he barely even acknowledged my exsistance."
"So you had to cheat on him?!"
"I thought if I made him jealous then he'd forget about you."
"Well it didn't work!" My ki was dangerously high and I half expected Trunks to run in at any moment.
"Yeah I know but I'll get my revenge." Her mouth shaped into a evil smile.
"How so?"
No sooner were the words out of my mouth that I heard sirens coming down the street.
"Shit." The curse came out the moment I realized that I'd been set up. "I'm going to get you back Cammy!"
"Great, keep threatening me Pan." She held up a tape recorder and smiled. "Now you'll go to jail for breaking the restraining order AND threatening me." I turned to run but Cammys next words stopped me dead in my tracks. "Please run, do it! I can see it now... 'Mr. Satans granddaughter at large.' Won't your daddy just love that?" Malice dripped from her voice.
Downstairs I heard Bulma and Bra yelling at the cops who'd come in and then several moments later the police officers opened the door to the room that we were in.
"Miss Son, we have to arrest you for violating the restraining order set upon you by Miss Cammy Meadows. Do you understand all your right?"
I was in shock and I nodded but my eyes never left Cammys positively glowing expression. I'd never wanted to hurt somebody weaker then me so badly in my entire life yet I allowed the police officers to place me in handcuffs and turn me towards the door. I felt humliated that my family was going to be shamed for something that I didn't even mean to do and Cammy laughter from behind me made it hard to think about anything else.
Just as I and the 5 or 6 arresting officers got to the stairs, I saw Trunks, Bulma and Bra running towards us. Trunks looked furious.
"Let her go!" He yelled wildly at the group of officers.
"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Briefs but we can't. Miss Meadows is filing a formal report so we have to take her in." The man who I assumed was the commanding officer stepped forward but seemed reluctant to defy Trunks.
"Bra, NO!" Bra had charged up the stairs towards Cammys room but Trunks' authoritative tone stopped her. "I'll deal with her!"
Then he turned back to me and the police. I looked away from him in shame. I couldn't bring myself to meet his eyes. I felt horrible because I could already hear the news trucks pulling up onto the Capsule Corp lawn.
"How long till Pan is released?!" It sounded more like a demand then a question.
"I'd say about 12-24 hours unless she has any warrents or tickets that aren't accounted for."
"She doesn't. I'll be there for her in 12 hours. Make sure she's ready!"
"Y-yes sir."
"Pan?" Trunks said my name but I didn't look up until he placed his hand under my chin and lifted it up until our eyes met."I'm so sorry, Pan. I never expected this. I was in a meeting when Bra called. Please forgive me?"
I smiled despite myself. Although I knew this was all Cammys doing, I still felt bad for bringing bad press on Capsule Corp. His asking me for forgivness made me feel a lot better. "I never blamed you."
He kissed my lips gently and then smiled. "I'll be there in a few hours. Just sit tight, okay?"
"Alright." I nodded and then allowed the police to take me past the media sharks, who snapped pictures from every direction, and all the way to the downtown station.
