P"What Do I Have To Do?" - Stabbing Westward
PHR SIZE=1BR
PBChapter XXIII - Severed Nightmares/b
PIYou make it hard to breathe
BRIt's as if I'm suffocating /i
PIt took Trunks about two days to discover Marron's lie, and it wasn't really a discovery—more of a realization. Yes, she had lied to him...and he was mad. But there seemed to be something nagging at him. Could he really blame her for doing what she did?
PIAnd when you're next to me
BRI can feel your heartbeat through my skin/i
PHe hated to admit it, but the answer was Ino/i.
PIIt makes me sad to think
BRThis could all be for nothing /i
PMarron had wanted her freedom. He couldn't deny her that. Not anymore; not now that he had felt her pain, her suffering.
PII wish there was a way
BRA way For you to see inside of me /i
PEpica and Elese had not returned to him since that night on the beach. He was still unsure of just Ihow/i they had ended up there.
PLately, Trunks hadn't been able to understand a lot of things, it seemed-the number one thing being his new-found love for Marron. Was it true that he had only fallen in love with her because of Rayne? Or had that love always been hiding, just waiting to be found?
PII've never felt this way
BRAbout anyone or anything /i
PWhy was this so hard?
PTrunks knew what he had to do. He needed to give Marron her freedom, and give himself some time. Time to figure out whether or not he really was serious...about her.
Pcenterb· · · · · · · · · · · · · § · · · · · · · · · · · · ·/b/center
PMarron slowly walked to the door, after hearing the bell sound, for the past four minutes. She was pretty sure it was Bura. But then again...
PShe opened the door to find Trunks, and nearly fainted. "What are you doing here?" She managed to get out. He was supposed to have returned to his normal, jerky self. He was supposed to be happy. He was supposed to be...not so sexy.
PYet somehow, his unshaven face and baggy eyes were making him the most appealing man on the planet, and that was Idefinitely/i not good.
P"I came to see you."
PIWhat do I have to do to make you happy?/i
PShe put up her hand. "No, Trunks," she stated firmly.
PIWhat do I have to do to make you understand?/i
PHe quirked a sad smile. "That's not what I'm here for, Marron. I...I'm sorry about everything...about the dream, and the accident. I have something for you." He reached into his coat pocket, and produced a small picture, which he held in her line of vision.
PIWhat do I have to do to make you want me?/i
P"My studio.."
P"Yes."
P"It...seems different somehow."
P"It is. I had them do some slight remodeling."
P"Remodeling?" She furrowed her brow. "What are you...?" Finally, it hit her. "You mean you? You didn't. There's no way you could have..."
P"The picture was taken this morning."
PThe tears rushed from her eyes, and she nearly knocked him over as she threw her arms around him. "Thank you," she whispered frantically.
PHe stood there, almost stiffly, except for the arm that gently returned the hug.
PShe pulled away and looked quizzically at him, realizing what she had just done. "Trunks, that didn't—"
P"—mean anything," he finished for her. "I know Marron."
PIAnd if I can't make you want me,
BRWhat do I have to do?/i
PHe flashed another sad smile, and dug, once again, into his pocket, then dropped a small set of keys into her open palm. "Enjoy, Marron..." And then, he walked away...
PMarron slowly closed the door, before returning to her living room, where she sat on the couch, eyeing, both the keys, and the photograph, and wondering what had changed Trunks. She was pretty sure that he knew, by now, what had really happened. She had been worried about a violent reaction, but this...this was highly unexpected. This was not Trunks. This was...bad? She didn't know what to do.
PSo she sat, and she thought, and didn't move...for the rest of the day.
Pcenterb· · · · · · · · · · · · · § · · · · · · · · · · · · ·/b/center
PMarron was startled out of her small nap, when Bura and Goten came rushing in.
PShe shook herself. "Guys, guys. What's all the excitement for? What's up?"
PBura presented her left hand for Marron's inspection. "This is! Goten proposed last night."
PShe stared blankly, her mind still in its warm fog. "What did he propose?"
P"He asked me to marry him, Silly." She flashed the ring.
P"Marry?" 'Married?' Her two best friends were getting married? She had known it would happen, but so soon? "Wow. I'm really happy for you guys!" She plastered a smile on her face, and hugged the two giddy demi-Saiyans. A thought struck her as she pulled away slightly. "What about Vegeta? What did he say?"
P"Mother is preparing him. You know, telling him how he should be glad that I'm mating another Saiyan...well, as Saiyan as I can get. I think he'll get over his reservations about Goku."
PMarron imagined a quite different conclusion for Vegeta, but didn't want to spoil her best friends' celebration, so she kept quiet. "This is really great, guys! I can't wait to get started on the plans."
P"Neither can we. Anyway, we just dropped by to tell you. We've got a lot of trips to make, then we have to call Trunks."
P"Trunks? Why call?"
P"Oh, I thought he would have told you last night," Goten said.
P"Told me what?"
P"He's going to the Iceland for a while."
P"Iceland?"
P"Yeah, to train. I don't know why he didn't tell you."
P"Me either," Marron proclaimed, in a sort of daze.
Pcenterb· · · · · · · · · · · · · § · · · · · · · · · · · · ·/b/center
PII know exactly what you're thinking
BRBut I swear this time I will not let you down/i
PTrunks looked outside the window of the CC jet. He could have flown, but felt like being normal for once. He needed to think.
PHe still wanted Marron, and was still unsure of his feelings, but something inside him told them that they were true, that what he was feeling was right.
PII'm not as selfish as I used to be
BRThat was a part of me that never made me proud /i
PHe had changed.
PHe would do what it took to be with Marron.
PIRight now I think I would try anything
BRAnything at all to keep you satisfied /i
PThat's what had him so scared.
PHe just couldn't get this off his mind. He wanted to be angry, sad, whatever it took...
PIGod I hope you see what losing you would do to me
BRAll I want is one more chance, tell me... /i
PHe just couldn't.
PTrunks didn't have much left, it seemed. The woman he loved despised him, and he had only made things worse.
PIWhat do I have to do to make you want me?
BRWhat do I have to do to make you understand?
BRWhat do I have to do to make you love me?/i
PWhat could he do? How did he apologize for everything?
PIIf I can't make you love me, just tell me what do I have to do/i
PHe only had one option, and that was to leave.
PITo forget about you?/i
