Chapter 3
Piccolo stood over Marrons bed as Uubu walked in.
" Piccolo what are you doing here? We were supposed to go out and train." He saw Marron asleep. " Who's she? " he stared at her.
" Her name's Marron, I'm friends with her father. Will you please stay with her while I get a senzu bean, and break the news to her parents. "
Piccolo turned to leave.
" What happened to her? " Uubu was still staring.
" Her wrists were cut open, she's lost alot of blood. I'm not sure how it happened. " Piccolo flew out the window as the sun began to set.
" She's like an angel. " Uubu thought.
Marrons eyes flickered open, she was in a dark hospital room. It was
night out side, she saw a dark figure asleep in the chair beside her bed.
" Could it be Trunks..."Then she fell asleep again.
*
" Are you awake? " the nurse poked her head in. Marron was but she didn't answer. " I think she's still asleep, maybe you should come back
later. "
" Can I see her anyway? It'll only take a second. "
The nurse paused, " Well I guess it couldn't hurt, but only for a moment and don't wake her up. "
The little girl walked in and sat by Marrons bed. " Mar are you awake? "
Hate rose in Marron at the sound of her voice.
" Piccolo told us he found you, they don't know what happened to you, but I've got a pretty good idea. Is this because of me? If I did anything that upset you this badly I'm sorry, you shouldn't have done that. " Pans voice caught and tears filled her eyes. " Well I'll see you later. " She whispered leaving some flowers on the table.
*
" OMG!!! " 18 sat down beside Marrons bed, " My poor baby, what happened
to her? "
" We don't know. " Uubu said quietly. " Piccolo found her when he was waiting to train with me. "
Crillian stood next to 18. " It's gonna be okay honey. " he said worriedly looking down at his motionless daughter. The nurse walked in.
" How're you all doing? " she smiled sadly.
" Fine, how's she doing? " Crillian asked.
The nurse shook her head. " Not so good. Her wrists are cut pretty deepand she'd been bleeding for quite a while before she was found. "
Crillian just nodded. As the nurse left, Uubu put his hand on 18s shoulder. " Don't worry, Piccolo will be back with a senzu bean any..."
" I'm here. " Piccolo stepped in.
" Alright! " Crillian said loudly.
" Please don't yell. " Marron mumbled softly opening her eyes.
" Marron? " 18 looked at her anxiously. " How are you feeling honey."
Marron didn't answer.
" Here take this. " Uubu fed her the senzu bean.
Marrom blinked a couple times, and looked around surprised. Then she
remembered everything that had happened.
" Who are you? " She asked softly looking at Uubu.
He blushed a little and looked at his feet. " My name's Uubu. " he mumbled.
" Mar, what happened to you? " Crillian asked.
Marron just looked up at him with big sad eyes. She was afraid to tell them.afraid of how they'd react.
" Why don't we just let her be for a while. " 18 said " You can ask her later.Let's just get her home now."18 craddled Marron in her arms as she and Crillian left for Roshis island. Marron felt ashamed of what she'd tried to do, as she crawled into her bed. Her parents were so afraid.
" Why would anyone want to try to kill her? " Uubu asked Piccolo.
Piccolo sighed. " Uubu, I don't want you to tell anyone this, especially Marrons parents. It's something she needs to tell them on her own."
" What is it? " Uubu asked looking at Piccolo confused.
" I found the knife in her hand. I think she tried to commit suicide."
Uubus jaw dropped. " What would cause such a beautiful incarnation of an angel to try to kill herself? " he thought.
Marrons depression was at its worst. If her parents tried to ask her what happened she'd simply pretend she didn't hear them.
Crillian flew up to Dendes lookout.
" Hello? Is anyone here? " he called.
Uubu came out. " Hey Crillian how's Marron doing? "
"I don't know." Crillian shook his head. " She won't tell us what happened. I'm afraid, someone might try to hurt her again. Would you please... would you please watch her for me? When she's going to and from school and all. It's a big favor I know but..."
" It's alright. " Uubu nodded. He felt guilty remembering what Piccolo had told him. But Marron had to tell her parents herself. " I won't let anyone hurt her. "
Crillian smiled. " Thanks kid."

Marron walked down the halls of the school. Things had become worse. People avoided her and gave her funny looks. Rumors were spreading about what had happened to her. Some were saying she was being tracked by a criminal organization that was going to kill them all, some were saying she was a suicidal maniac, or a homicidal maniac. Marron didn't care anymore. If they wanted to be a buch of good for nothing bakas than they coukd go ahead and do that. She slammed her locker angrily. Several people stepped away. Bura approached her uncertainly.
" Mar, are you gonna be okay? " Bura looked almost scared. " Piccolo told us how he found you. We were so worried. "
" Worried? " Marron thought. " Were they really worried about me? Or were they just guilty? Guilty of what they drove her to do. " Marron narrowed her eyes and turned away from her best friend without a word.
" Marron..." Bura called after her. But her friend did not turn back.
*
Marron began walking down the street after school alone.
" Hey Marron! " Someone yelled behind her. She spun around to yell at the classmate to leave her alone when she saw it wasn't her classmate at all.
" Yamcna! What're you doing here? " Marron asked surprised.
" Oh I was just in the neighborhood and I decided to drop by and say hi. Why don't you come on a quick walk with me talk a little alright? "
" I'm kinda busy right now. " She started to turn away.
" No you're not. " He shook his head. " How do you expect people to help you out of your problems when you won't let them? "
Marron looked at him a little confused.
" You want people to help you and love you, but when someone tries you push them away and make up some excuse that they aren't really sincere. It's the way depression works. Let me help."
Marron stopped and thought for a moment. Then answered. " Alright I'll come. "
Yamcha and Marron walked tothe park in silence. He sat down on a park bench. " Have a seat. " He patted the bench next to him. Marron reluctantly sat down. " Now, can you tell me what's wrong? " he asked gently.
Marron suddenly burst into tears. " Oh Yamcha I've been such a baka! I tried to kill myself! That's what happened! " She sobbed uncontrollably.
Yamcha patted her head comfortingly.
" It's gonna be okay, you're alright now. " he said softly. " Why'd you do it Mar? "
Still sniffling Marron told him everything. " You must think I'm stupid now. Trying to kill myself over somthing like this. " She said bitterly.
" No Mar, I don't think you're stupid. I agree it was a stupid thing to do, but you're not stupid. I understand completely. i felt the same way you do when Bulma left me for Vegeta. But you have to go on Mar. There are other fish in the sea, you don't need to keep concentrating on the one that got away. You understand? "
Marron nodded slightly.
" Well it's starting to get dark. You want me to walk with you? " Yamcha offered.
Marron shook her head. " I want some time to think for a while. "
" Okay. " Yamcha got up. " You can always call me if you need to talk."
Marron nodded and headed down the path. She had a million thoughts swimming through her head. Would she really ever get over Trunks? Was there someone else out there for her? She began to dig through her purse to find her plane capsule when she heard a mettalic click behind her.
" Alright sweetie, hand over the purse or I'll shoot! "
