Chapter 9

The next morning, another hunk of her hair lay against the clean white pillow case.

"Oh no!" Marron whailed.

"It's starting! I'm really going bald." Marron yelled.

Dawn patted Marron's arm and confided.

"Mine's falling out too. I-I didn't want to say anything, but look."

The pretty auburn haired girl dipped her head, and Marron saw a sparse area at her crown.

Marron fought down her panic and despair and swallowed hard.

"I guess its gonna happen to the both of us." Marron said.

She didn't want to lose her beautiful blonde hair.

"Guess so." Dawn confirmed.

It was bad for Marron.

But it wasn't nearly as bad now that Dawn was going through it with her.

"I guess I won't be needing these anymore." Dawn said.

She opened the draw next to her hospital bed and pulled out a small wooden box.

Marron lifted the wooden lid and saw what was within the box

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe that bitchy nurse kicked us out like that!" Pan complained.

"Some manners that she had." Bra added.

"But guys, did you actually listen to what the nurse said?" Goten asked.

"Yes we did but-" Pan started.

"Pan listen, She said that Marron needed some rest before IV chemotherapy. She needed to sleep so we HAD to leave. If we want Marron to get better then we need to let her rest." Goten said sounding smart.

"Yeah you're right Goten." Pan said.

"I know I am." Goten said proudly.

"Hey have you seen Trunks lately? He didn't come home last night. I wonder where he went." Bra said.

"I have no clue where he went. Do you Goten?" Pan said.

"I saw him leave for work but Bulma said that he didn't even show at work so he must be somewhere." Goten said.

"I hope he's not doing anything stupid. He looked a little upset when Gohan told us about Marron." Bra said quietly.

''I don't think that's possible Bra. Trunks and Marron hated each other since practically birth. I don't think Trunks would care." Pan said.

"Then why did he leave?" Bra argued.

"Because he was upset." Goten mumbled.

A pair of black and a pair of blue eyes landed on Goten.

"WHAT?!" Bra and Pan yelled.

"No way! That's a bunch of bullshit Goten." Pan said.

"No. He told me." Goten said.

"Continue." Bra said. She wanted to know what her brother had failed to let them know.

"When he was little he wished that Marron was dead. But he was only a kid. And now that this is happening, Trunks thinks that this is all his fault just because of what he wished for. He kind of likes Marron and pissing her off only makes him like her even more. But please don't tell anyone because he'd kill me!" Goten said.

Bra and Pan's mouths were hanging open.

"No way!" Pan said while smiling.

"He likes her?!" Bra shrieked happily.

"Yeah but you're not getting my point." Goten said.

The girls went silent. Thinking of what Goten just told them about Trunks wishing that Marron was dead made them upset.

How could Trunks wish such a terrible thing to someone who totally didn't deserve it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside the wooden box, revealed Dawn's entire collection of hair combs, barrettes and hair ribbons.

Dawn owned combs in almost every color imaginable- blue, green, red, purple, yellow -- beautiful colors that coordinated with all of her clothes.

Now the combs would be useless.

Marron felt bitterness welling up in her.

How cruel it was to go bald at twenty!

How awful it was to be sick all the time from the effects of the chemotherapy!

How terrible it was to be tired and depressed, have sores in your mouth, bruises all over your body, and to be so thin that you could count your own ribs!

"This isn't fair!" Marron said aloud.

"This just isn't fair." Marron said again.

"It's just hair." Dawn said with a shrug.

She took the box and shoved it back into the drawer.

"Everyone says it will grow back." Dawn said.

"But it still isn't fair Dawn-" Marron started.

Nurse Jamiee then entered the room.

"I'm sorry to interupt girls but Dawn you have to finish up the last part of IV chemo and Marron you have a visitor.'' Nurse Jamiee said while wheeling a wheelchair over to Dawn's bedside.

"Oh man." Dawn said as Nurse Jamiee helped her into the wheelchair.

"A visitor?" Marron asked.

"Yes sweetie. I'll send him in once we leave the room." Jamiee said.

"Ok." Marron said.

"Bye Marron!" Dawn chirped.

"Bye Dawn!" Marron said.

Who could be visiting her now?

Nurse Jamiee left the room while wheeling Dawn out.

Marron sat up in her bed and waited for her 'visitor' to come in.

Her eyes drifted from the door, to the ceiling and they were now focusing on the now carpeted floor.

"Hey Marron."

Marron looked up from the floor and up to a male figure.

"Trunks?"
