Clover Falls
Part 16 -- Goten's Discovery
By: Winter Peacecraft-Yuy

*~*

Goten flew towards Capsule Corp. He was confused. Why would Bra leave him? Did he do something wrong? Was he so stupid to realize that Bra didn't want to marry him?

The black haired Saiya-jin landed on the lawn and walked into the facility. Goten bolted up the stairs to Bra's room, and ran in the door. She wasn't there. Goten ran to her closet and saw that some of Bra's clothes were missing. He cursed to himself and rumaged through her drawers. All her bra's and panties were missing. Her nightgowns were too.

Goten sighed and sat down on the bed. He placed his head in his hands. What just happened. Bra's clothes were missing. He didn't know what was happening. He slammed his fist down on the bed, and he hit something. It sounded like paper.

Goten picked it up, and noticed Bra's handwriting. It was addressed to him. He tore open the letter, and read it aloud.

~~

Dear Goten,

I'm sorry. I can't go through with this wedding. I don't know what happened. I got scared. I know you must've been too, but I didn't have anyone to talk too. Everyone was busy doing things to think about me.

Again, I'm sorry. I had to do this. I'm leaving, so don't come looking for me. I need to find myself. I'm lost and I don't know what to do. Please, don't hate me.

Son Goten, I love you with all me heart and soul. Answer me one question, are you willing to wait for me?

Love,

Bra Briefs-Son

Goten read the letter over and over again. What Bra said was true. No one even took the time to ask her what she felt. How could he have been so stupid? He failed to notice the one woman he has ever cared the most for in his life. He knew that nothing was perminent. Pareasu had got that point across to him. His life was a joke. It would just be easier to commit suicide and end it, but he couldn't do that.

"Yes, Bra. I will wait for you." Goten whispered.

Goten layed back on Bra's bed and curled up in a ball. He felt so alone. He was use to feeling Bra's body next to his when he was in a bed or on a couch. He loved more than words could say. All his life, he had waited for someone like Bra to make him feel loved. Pareasu had always ignored him because of her busy schedule.

Then, Bra came into his life and Goten had finally found what he had wanted. Love, life, and a family. He was happy to know that Bra had gotten pregnant. When they where alone, he would always lay on her stomach and feel the power of his growing children.

Goten sat up and opened Bra's window. He couldn't take this feeling. He had to have Bra beside him. He wanted and needed her love. He couldn't live without her, and he wasn't planning on it. He stuck his head out the window and cupped his hands over his mouth.

"Bra! Come back! Please, I need you!"

Goten fell to his knees and slammed his hand down on the ground. How long could he wait for Bra to return? Would she return? Goten got up and walked over to Bra's bed that she had shared with him from time to time. He reached for the picture of Bra and himself on her nightstand. Goten held it to his chest and cried to his heart's content.

Later, he fell asleep still holding the picture. -Bra, please come back. I can't live without you.-
