Songfic chapter- 'Misery' by Pink. All about Marron and her thoughts about what's happening. I heard this song, and I thought it was Marron. Exactly Marron. And I could never forget about Lily, so hi Lily!
Marron sat down on the couch and tucked her legs underneath her. Involuntarily, she ran a hand through her blonde locks. Corn silk. That's what Goten had called it. But he was over 4,000 miles away. And it was all her fault.
Shadows are falling all over town
A piece of blue paper lay on the end table next to the couch. It was a note he had left her the night before he had left. It was only a small message in his almost unreadable chicken scratch, but it meant more to her than the world.
Another night and the blues got me down
It had told her his cell phone number, (which she was a little leery to call) how much he'd miss her, and how much he loved her. When he told her he'd do anything for her, she was the biggest idiot in the universe by doing what she did. And there was not a thing she could do to change it.
Oh misery… I sure could use some company
For years, he had told her how beautiful she was, and every time she went out on a date, he would be there, telling the guy how he was the luckiest person alive to have a chance with her. As she thought about it, she remembered how sad he sounded when he said it. Well, you really couldn't blame him.
Since he's been gone I ain't been the same
He had been gone a week now, and everything had been different. Well, not everything, just her. Every night, her mother and father would call her to see how she was holding up. Then he would call her. They would talk for hours; about everything and anything.
I carry the weight like an ol' ball and chain
For as long as she could remember, the two of them had always been best friends. Through all her tough times, he had been there for her. And she guessed that somewhere along the line, something had sparked between them. As good as they were friends, they were better together in love.
Guess it's all meant to be… for love to cause me misery
Over the past week, her life had gotten pretty pathetic. All she ever did was wait for him to call, write him long letters, and look through old pictures. Even though she hated to admit it, Trunks was right that first day.
Misery… misery… Tell me why does my heat make a fool out of me
Goten had told her what Trunks did. And she was kind of flattered. But she would never let Goten know that. He'd hate her forever. She didn't like Trunks like that, but she did feel sort of sorry for him. It wasn't his fault, really. And Goten really shouldn't have gotten so mad at him, even if what he did was wrong.
Seems it's my destiny… for love to cause me misery
Things had just gotten so complicated, and it was hard to tell what was what. Goten had suddenly turned into Mr. Romance, and went 4,000 miles for six months to prove the depth of his love, and Trunks wanted to date her. And she was still the same. Miserable.
Oh… I've been down this road before
She thought of going and hanging out with Bra, but always decided against it. Bra was only eighteen; she didn't really understand what Marron was going through. To some extent, maybe, but Bra was always one of those girls who could attract every guy's attention with her aimless flirting.
Where the passion turns into pain
Pan, on the other hand, understood completely. That was pretty mush the reason she didn't ask Bra to help her out. Pan was the same age as Bra, but she had always been more mature. I guess it came from having Gohan and Videl as parents.
And each time I saw love walk out the door
She was avoiding Trunks. He had left that night, and she'd been afraid to call him up. And he was probably feeling the same way.
I swore I'd never get caught up again
Goten never would have avoided her like Trunks. That was one of the differences between the two of them. And one of the things she loved about Goten. He was always concerned about everyone else. Except himself. Most of the time.
But it ain't true… it takes what it takes
Six months. It was half a year. So much could happen in six months. He could meet someone new. She could meet someone new. He could realize he didn't really love her; and vice-versa.
And sometimes we get too smart too late
And his birthday… it was in four months. He'd be stuck in America. And her birthday was in five. She'd have to convince him to come home.
One more heartache for me… another night in misery
So she was alone. For six months. Alone. With nobody to hold her; to tell her it would be okay. That was Goten's job. It always had been. And nobody could take his place.
Misery… misery… Tell me why must my heart make a fool out of me
Her mother had told her she was the luckiest girl in the world, to have someone that loved her so much like that. And it wasn't like her husband would do that for her.
Seems it's my destiny… For love to cause me misery
Not a moment went by that she didn't wonder what he was doing, if he was okay, and if he missed her. Sure, he said he missed her, but did he really? She couldn't tell.
Guess it's all meant to be for love to cause me misery
