He heard her,but he wasn`t sure he believed what he heard. He didn`t think she was lying,but he had a hard time believing his ears.

She had said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Maybe it was.

He leaned up and kissed her neck. "I know I love you Marron. I love you with all the love in my heart." He whispered.

She turned to look at him. Her eyes were heavy and she looked like she might pass out any second. But instead,she smiled. And it was one of her beautiful smiles that light up the room. Her eyes looked alive again,although he was sure she was still very tired.

"Really?" She asked,not letting her smile fade.

"Really truly." He kissed her. "I don`t know why I couldn`t tell you earlier. I guess I felt I had to be stronger." He looked at her and smiled.

"Ohhh...My big strong hero." She smiled and kissed him again.

There was a knock on the door. Cory,Jenn, and Tiff Tiff walked in.

"Hey guys." Marron smiled at her friends. "It`s early,what are you doing here?"

Cory set a dozen roses down on her table next to her bed. "Trying to convince you to get well as soon as humanly possible." He smiled.

"Yeah. The rest of the gang was gunna come until they saw how early it is." Tiff Tiff smiled then looked suspiciously at Trunks. "Are we interrupting anything here?"

"Nah." Trunks laughed. "I`m just taking care of my Marron." He pulled hair off from Marron`s face and kissed her cheek. "Don`t worry;nothing X-rated."

"Good, `cause I would much rather see that sort of stuff on the Playboy channel then here in a hospital bed." Cory smiled stupidly. " And I would know."

Marron giggled. "Yeah you would,perv!"

"Anyways...so when do you think you`ll be back to school?" Jenn asked.

"Well..I don`t really know." Marron looked at Trunks,as if she were expecting him to answer for her. " Prolly a week. Maybe longer. I dunno."

"That sucks."

"Yeah..tell me about it."

A month later at graduation...

He had just received his diploma. The crowd cheered for him. He was a star,more or less. Duh,his mom owned Capsule Corp.

After the ceremony,he walked over to own personal fan section. This included his family,his Marron, and his friends.

These friends weren`t the old ones though. These were Marron`s doing. Jenn,Joey,Jon,Cory,and the rest had all fallen for Trunks` personality and his love for Marron.

Jon and Joey had graduated with him. He looked around him. He was surrounded by people that loved and cared about him.

Marron stood out in the crowd. She smiled at him. She was still unable to run and she had a hard time breathing if she pushed herself too much,due to the damaged lung. That would take about another month to completely heal.

She had a small scar on each of the temples. They didn`t have any real shape,but Trunks didn`t hate them. He thought of them as just another part of his Marron.

He picked her up and swung her around. She laughed her beautiful laugh and he pulled her in to kiss her. "I love you." He whispered. He didn`t whisper because he was ashamed though. He whispered because it made it so much more magical.

"I love you more. More than you`d ever know." She smiled and kissed him.

"You`re mine,you know that?" He nuzzled her neck.

"I`ll be your`s forever. You`ll be mine." She looked up at him and he looked down at her.

"Did you wanna go to that party tonight at Jon`s house?" He asked her.

"Yeah,sure. It`s not like I have school tomorrow or anything." She smiled,but it was sort of pained. When her band had stopped playing,she had never regained the heart to go back to it. But he knew how much she missed it.

She missed the lyrics the most. They were so powerful and held such emotion. That's the main reason she started to sing in the first place.

"We`ll have a good time tonight." He smiled and kissed her.
