1 Another chapter at last. This is the one, or maybe not…and thanks for the
reviews.
But She Was Happy………………….Chapter 7
Pan flew as fast as she could. As she flew, she heard the sound of the sea. She could feel Marron's ki, which meant that she was near Master Roshi's house. She decided to turn around and she headed back to the main land. After a few miles, she landed in a wood. It was cold, but she couldn't use her ki to warm herself up, just in case someone sensed it as it took more ki to warm yourself up than flying. She made sure her ki was suppressed and walked for a while.
~I can't go to the wedding tomorrow, I just can't. I'll either break down or walk out. I don't have the guts to say no on the altar. My life's so unfair~
She came to a clearing and crossed it. She could hear water nearby, so followed the sound. When she got there, she knelt down and scooped her hands. She put them into the water and splashed her face. When she opened her eyes, she glanced into the water to see her reflection.
~God! My face looks worn out and sad…get a hold of yourself Pan. You need to sort out your problems; you're making yourself old and haggard and it's ruining your life. I guess I need to start fresh~
She drank some of the water, which was cold. She walked a little further until she was deep in the woods. She sat down on a fallen log.
"That's what I need, a fresh start. I need to go away for a bit, somewhere far away, like America to try to forget about my problems…but I can't do that either. That would mean that I'm running away from my problems, not solving them! I can't tell Trunks about how I feel for him, but I can at least tell Atzirk that I don't love him…but I'm scared. He'll be so sad and lonely and I want to stay friends with him. I just can't, I'm useless and I don't deserve to live~
Tears fell out of her eyes and they were silent.
Trunks felt her tiny ki move further away, so he sped up but still keeping his distance. Then he felt her coming back towards him so he turned around and sped off. Only when she had landed, he landed and decided to follow her ki on foot. He didn't mind being scratched by the thorns as he walked towards her.
"What are you doing this Pan? I thought you were happy, but maybe you weren't…"
He continued his walk.
"Pan, I love you with all my heart and I want you to be happy, no matter what. I hope that I can talk some sense into you. I hope so. She has a great life ahead with her, even though it isn't with me."
He walked on and passed a stream and he felt that she was nearby. He walked slowly and watched that he didn't step on anything that would make a noise as he knew that saiyan hearing was very sensitive. That was when he heard a sobbing noise. It was Pan. He moved a little faster, being extra careful. He abruptly stopped when he caught sight of her. He ducked behind a tree and peeked around it to get a better look.
She was sitting on a log and had her face in her hands. He could still hear the sobbing noise, but not as frequent. He admired what she was wearing and saw that she had her bandanna on. How she wore that bandanna! He had liked it on her ever since she had first worn it.
~She's beautiful~
He saw her wipe her eyes and just sit there, looking at the stars. He then noticed that she was shivering to death as she wrapped her arms around herself. He couldn't wait any longer.
"You look cold, do you want to borrow my jacket?" he asked aloud, stepping out from behind the tree and staring at her.
Pan immediately looked up and their eyes connected, ~Why the hell is he doing here? I made sure that no one followed me here~
"Do you want to borrow it, then?" he asked again.
Pan looked away. She stood up and began to walk in the opposite direction. Trunks ran after her long strides and grabbed her by the wrist. She swung around to look at him. They stared into each other's eyes for a few minutes.
~Why did he follow me here? I needed to get away from everyone to think and he shows up. He is the one that started all my problems so he is the last person I want to see. But, he does look cute and a few days ago, I would have run into his arms, but now I can't because he is happy. He has only come here because he wants me happy, he wants me as a friend. But…I love him~
Tears came out of her eyes.
~Why is she crying? Is it because of me coming here? Well I don't care because she has come here for a reason and I want to know why. If she was fine, I would have left her, but she is crying which means something is wrong. I care and love her so much, but she wants me as a friend and I will be there for her, always~
"What are you doing here, Trunks?" asked Pan, her voice breaking slightly.
"Asking you the same question."
"I came for a walk, is that a crime?" she said, glaring at him with watery eyes.
"No, that isn't a crime, but people don't go for walks at 3:35 in the morning," he said lessening the grip on her wrist.
"Let go of me, Trunks," she said.
"Why did you decide to come for a walk?" he asked, still holding on to her.
"Because I couldn't sleep," Pan lied, pulling her arm free.
"Why do women go for walks the night before their wedding? Second thoughts about it. You came here because of that. Bra and my Mum came home only an hour ago and they were pissed. You mustn't have been pissed otherwise, you would have been sleeping at this moment. You've been awake all this time because something was bothering you and it was probably bothering you at the club too."
"For your information, I did get pissed. It has passed," she said truthfully.
"Oh yeah?" he retaliated.
"Just leave me alone Trunks," she said turning nasty, "why did you bother following me in the first place? I wanted to be alone to think, that's all."
More tears came out of her eyes, and her voice was close to breaking.
"Did something happen earlier?" Trunks asked, trying to help.
"No."
"I'm only trying to help," he said.
"I don't need your condolences," she spat, walking away again. Trunks flew and landed in front of her, blocking her way.
"Please, tell me what's wrong," he said, rubbing her arm gently with his hand.
"I…I can't," she admitted, looking down.
"Why?"
She stayed silent.
"Okay, a different approach. When did it start?" he asked again.
"Well, it started a little while ago, but got worse over the days," she said, looking up at him with a tear strained face.
"How long ago?"
"Huh! I don't want to talk about it, okay? You keep pestering me about it and I don't want to talk about it. Can't you just go back home to your family and I'll see you tomorrow, if I am going. You keep pushing me to far and you don't even now what or who the problem is. For all you know, it could be you!"
She pushed past him and ran away.
Trunks' eyes followed her as she ran off, ~Is it really me? Did I do something to upset her? Maybe she knows that I have deep feelings for her, but she can't; I haven't told anyone. So it can't be that~
He ran after her and as he caught up with her, shouted out while he was running after her:
"Is it me?"
"I'm not suggesting it is," she replied, speeding off.
"So it isn't me then," he asked again, overtaking her and making her stop suddenly.
She looked away.
~I haven't done anything wrong, so it can't be me. It was a figure of speech. I wonder what or who made her like this~ he thought.
"It's just," she began, "I've done good things in my life and bad things, and what I've done is one of those bad things. Along with what caused it, I've spoilt everything. Not just for me, but for everyone; it's spoilt for everyone! It's just a mess. Nothing except running away can sort it out, but that would be running away from my problems. This has happened because of one simple thing that I want to just go away but I've tried to let it go, but it won't," she wiped her eyes, but more tears came out.
"Panny, is there anything I can do to help? But if there is, you must tell me. I trust you, and you must trust me," he said, reassuringly.
"Tell you?! I only came here to think on my own, with no one else, and you are bothering me when I don't want you to! Just leave me alone!" and with that, she ran away again.
Trunks thought that she was out of control because of a build up of emotions, so it was time for drastic action. He flew up behind her and as he grabbed onto her shoulders, turned her around and tried to cradle her in his arms, but she wasn't having it. She kicked and screamed at him, trying to get out of his grasp, but he wouldn't let her go. His strong arms bound around her shoulders during her struggle to get away. She punched at him while she sobbed and eventually broke down onto his shoulder. He ran his hand soothingly down her back while going:
"Ssh."
She eventually began to calm down, only a sniffle here and there, while she had her hands on his chest. His shirt was wet, but he didn't mind at all. He smelt her hair as he held her, it smelt so good and felt soft. He felt sorry for her and vowed to make her happy.
"Are you okay," he asked looking down at her.
"Yeah," she said, burying her face into his chest. Trunks began to stroke her hair.
"Panny, I want you to be happy. Seeing you like this makes me feel down and I won't ask anymore about your problem. Just tell me, or promise me if you can, that you will always be happy in your life. You're still my favourite girl, and always will be however big you are."
"Thanks Trunks," she said, still looking down.
"Are you going to your wedding?" he asked.
Pan tensed up a little: "I…I…don't know."
"Pan, whatever has made you change your mind, don't listen to it. I know that getting married is a big commitment, but believe me you'll thank me and the end of the day. You'll have such a blast tomorrow and you'll be happy. Just don't listen to your inner thoughts, just your feelings. I missed you when you went away, I missed you a lot. We had some good times, didn't we?"
Pan looked up at him: "I missed you too."
Trunks smiled and how she loved that smile.
~She's perfect. She can be so hard and eager, but then again soft~ Trunks thought as he looked down at her. He wasn't that much taller than her, only about three inches.
~You make it sound so simple Trunks, but it isn't. I wish I never met Atzirk, only had you~
They looked into each other's eyes for what seemed like eternity. They could here the sound of the stream nearby. Trunks could feel his heart beating extra fast and was sure she could feel it. He couldn't hold it in. He leaned in slowly, still looking into her eyes. She knew that he was awfully close to her, and she liked the feeling. She leaned in as well, but fast and closer. She could feel his breath on her neck. He hardly moved although his heart told him to take her. Pan moved closer still until their lips were touching and Trunks went for the kill.
It was a deep passionate kiss and was full of meaning. Pan moved her arms to behind his back while he run his hands through her hair. He moved one of his hands and cupped her face. Pan had never felt anything so mind blowing in her life. Trunks was a better kisser than Atzirk by a mile. She moaned softly as it grew.
But realisation hit Trunks like a brick wall and he pulled away sharply. He looked at her then turned away.
"Trunks, what's wrong?" she asked, ~That was so good! I love him so much, but he regards me as a friend. But he kissed me, didn't he which means that he must feel something…or it was a mistake~
"I…I can't Pan," he said.
"Why?"
"You should know why. It's...it's the day before your wedding, in fact, hours before your wedding and I'm kissing you?! I just can't. I'm in love…I'm with Krystal and you're with your fiancée. It isn't right. You love Atzirk and I told you that you'd have a great life. I can't. I'm with Krystal and you love Atzirk," he said, still facing away from her.
Pan stayed silent, but Trunks knew she was staring at him as he felt daggers going into his back.
~Maybe it's time for what Dad told me to do. He told me to tell Trunks that I love him and that he would understand. I think now that Trunks will understand if I told him, because he said that he would help me with whatever, but probably nothing like that. But I trust my Dad~
~I can't, I just can't be with her, even though I love her. Trunks, get a hold of yourself. She loves Atzirk and you are supposed to love Krystal. It hurts, it hurts inside but she's happy. I can't ruin that as she is my friend, but a very close friend to me~
"You get me?" he said again, "I'm with Krystal and you love Atzirk."
"But that's just it," she yelled. She couldn't take it anymore, "I don't love Atzirk…I love you."
"Huh?" Trunks turned to face her with shock written all over his face. Those last three words hit him in the heart like an arrow in the heart, but it didn't shatter: it felt complete. He looked into her eyes and she looked away.
"I understand if you want to leave, not help me or ever set eyes on me again," she continued. Her voice wasn't breaking, but was solemn.
Trunks still couldn't believe what he had heard, ~I never knew that she felt that way about me. Why didn't she just tell me in the first place and it would have spared a lot of trouble. But she was afraid of my reaction, and of not feeling the same way about her. It's like a dream come true but without the sleep. But she thinks that I hate her. I don't; I love her and I have to tell her~
Pan was wondering why he hadn't flown away yet and thought that he would hurt her. She turned her head to face him and the next thing she knew, he had crushed his lips to hers and going for her savagely. She was frozen to the spot until he wrapped his arms round her. She wrapped her arms around him again and he ran his hands through her hair and down her spine, sending shivers and chills down her back. It was another deep kiss and was even better than the last. He trailed kisses down her jaw and kissed her neck while she held onto his head. She could smell his aftershave and it smelt good. He went back up to her face, claiming her lips again. After another long kiss, he pulled away to look at her and she took him into an embrace. Tiny tears of joy came to her eyes and for the first time in a long time, felt happy.
"I love you, Trunks," she whispered.
"I love you too, Pan," he finally said as he rubbed her back.
"Do you really mean it?" asked Pan, looking up at him.
"Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn't have kissed you," he replied, kissing her tears away.
They stayed in each other's arms for a long while after that, together at last.
Another chapter done and they are together! Will Pan and Trunks go back home to tell their parents or don't bother until after the wedding? Just wait.
