Midnight Summer

Chapter 11: Sun Begins To Set (part 2)

The car flew threw the open road and zoomed passed field after field. Marron looked at the passing fields.

'What is he gon'na tell me? What could it be?'

She stared hard at the passing wildflowers. The park wasn't too far now. And as the got close to the park.her curiosity grew. What is going on?

***At Pan's Job*** "Ok.it'll be delivered to Dragon Corp. by 6:30 Monday." said Pan to the person on the line. She scribbled the date into her agenda. "Yes! Ok.bye!"

Pan slammed the phone down.

'Darn Dragon Corp!'

She turned her chair around and looked out the window. Clouds seemed to be rolling in from east.

'Darn it.a storms coming.'

Pan turned back around and placed her face into her hands.

'I need a vacation.'

The phone began to ring. Pan hesitated before picking up.

'Please don't be Trunks.please don't be Trunks.'

"Hello!" said Pan.

"Where's Goten?" screamed the voice on the other line.

"How would I know? I've been at work for twelve hours!" yelled Pan.

"FIND HIM!" yelled the person before they hung up.

'Why is Trunks looking for Goten?' Pan rolled her eyes at the thought and crossed her arms on top of her desk and laid her head down.

'I'm too tired to care.'

***The Park***

Goten opened Marron's door and she emerged from the car. Goten looked up at the sky. A storm was slowly approaching.

"Hmm.there's a storm coming. That must mean you're either gon'na break up with me or someone's gon'na die." said Marron sarcastically.

Goten grabbed Marron's hand and led her down to a bench by the lake.

"Goten.why did you bring me all the way out here?" asked Marron.

"Cause I really need to talk to you." said Goten.

"But couldn't we have talked in the mall or at your house?" asked Marron.

"No! I needed to get us far away so someone wouldn't find us and stop me from telling you, what I'm about to tell you." said Goten.

Marron cocked her head to the side.

"I don't understand."

"Marron.I know you like Goten.but.he isn't exactly who you think he is. You really need to get to know him better before taking things to far. Because you're already obsessed about him and you only know his name."

"But when you're in love you."

"Marron, how can you call it love? You just met him! Look, all I'm trying to say is.don't get to worked up over him."

"But Goten.he's really sweet and so trustworthy.he's the type that would let you know everything about him in a heart beat."

'Does Marron really think this? Where did that come from? She's never talked to him like that! She doesn't know what she's talking about. She's made up a personality from Trunks.since he won't let her get too close. She has gone to the deep end! When Trunks tells her the truth she'll be more than just crushed.she'll be scared.for life!'

***While That Was Happening//CAPSULE CORP.***

Trunks slammed the phone down.

"Darn it!" he yelled.

'Where the HFIL is Goten? He's probably talking to Marron. He better not tell her anything!'

The secretary opened the door.

"Mr. Brief, I've called his mother's house.he's not there either." She said softly.

"Crap!"

"Um.pardon me for asking Mr. Brief.but.um.why are you looking for Goten?"

Trunks glared at the secretary.

"Um.nevamind." She said quickly. She turned around and quickly left the room.

"Darn it!"

***BACK AT THE PARK***

Goten looked up at the sky. The clouds were closer. Marron looked down at the ground and sighed.

"Marron." Marron looked up at Goten.

"Yes?"

"Promise me something."

"Yeah, sure. What do you want me to promise you?"

"That you'll be careful and not jump into a relationship with.Goten."

Marron looked at Goten in disbelief.

'Is he trying to warn me about Goten? Does he not even trust his own friend? What is he talking about.'

"Say it!" said Goten as he looked at the ground.

"I.I.promise. But Goten, what are you talking about? Is there something I need to know about him?" asked Marron curiously. Goten at Marron.

'Ah, she's so innocent. She doesn't understand. Why doesn't she see it? He never told her his last name. He didn't tell her where he lives, works, or anything. He's hiding.and she doesn't even realize it.'

Goten looked into Marron's eyes.

"Marron, there's something you should know about Goten. But it's not my place to tell you exactly what it is. All I can say is, you only know a person by what they let you know. Even someone who is hella close to you.can be hiding the deadliest secret. Goten has a secret. And if your not careful.his secret can break your heart." said Goten.

He returned his gaze back to the ground. Marron continued looking at Goten.

"You want me to be careful around him.fine. But Goten.I'm not giving him up. I can deal with whatever secret he may have. We can work it out. I'm in love with him Goten.I can't help it."

"In love? Marron, I'm starting to think you don't know the meaning of love."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, I think reading all of those romance books messed up your train of thought and the way you see and feel things. Your emotions are no longer in reality. You're living in a fantasy. You're will to get to the happily ever after, even if it means breaking yourself down. You no longer understand love. You think ignoring all of his faults and mysteries will get you to the end of the story.but it wouldn't. You keep this up and you'll be heading for a downward spiral."

Marron jumped up.

"You don't know what you're talking about! You don't understand my feelings for him! You never will! You're too busy trying to ruin my life!" yelled Marron.

Goten stood up.

"Marron what are you talking about? I'm not trying to ruin your life!" yelled Goten.

"LIAR! You don't want me to be happy.that's why you're telling me this."

"Marron, that's not true. I." before Goten could finish Marron's hand meet his check.

Goten glared at Marron. Marron turned around and began to walk back the way they came from.

"What are you doing Marron?"

"Going home!"

"What? You can't walk home.it's too far. And you'll get caught in the storm." cried Goten.

"So!"

"Oh.let me guess.you expect some gentleman is gon'na pull over and ask you if you want a ride. Then take you to your house safely?" yelled Goten.

Marron ignored him and continued to walk.

"Marron, stop it. Come back here and get in the car. Please!" yelled Goten.

Marron continued to walk. Goten slammed his fist against his car and got into it.

"Darn it." He cried as he closed the door and started up the car.

Marron watched as the car speed passed her and out of sight.

'He left me! He didn't even try to come after me. Grrr.it doesn't even matter. Someone will give me a ride.I hope.'

***20 Minutes Later///Marron's POV***

I walk to slow for my own good. I should have just gotten into the car when Goten told me too. Why am I so stubborn? It's been what.15 minutes if not more and I can still see the park! Darn high heels. I'm afraid to take them off. The crunching under my shoes are the sigh of broken glass or small rocks. I don't know which one and I'm afraid if I look down I'll fall. I don't normally wear high heels, so my posture and balance is horrible. You're probably wondering how I made it there that party at CC.well it was luck and the fact that the ground was smooth.not bumpy. I looked up at the sky to reveal the clouds right above me.the sky was completely filled. The wind suddenly picked up and I was nearly blown off of my feet. The wind soon died. I immediately knew what that meant.rain! And before I could react the rain began pouring down on me soaking me complete and causing me to slip and fall. I fell to the ground pretty hard, but when I got back up I felt fine. No pain. I attempted to walk and prove myself wrong! Ok.LOTS OF PAIN!

"Darn it!" I yelled into the night.err.actually it's still day, just very cloudy.

The rain continued to pour and I continued to stand there trying to think of what I'd do now that I couldn't walk. A sigh escaped my mouth. Goten was right.I was foolish to believe that some gorgeous guy would pull over and give me a ride. HELLO! You're in the middle of nowhere. Any guy that would pull over would have to be either a police officer or a rapist looking for women who can't walk in high heels and has extremely bad luck. That's right Marron, think positive. I'm slowly starting to think the pessimist in me is starting to come out.

I continued to stand there hopelessly when I saw headlights coming towards me.

"Oh great!" I mumbled.

Yeah, I wanted a hero right about now.but after my little rapist thought I'm not to sure a hero would be coming. As the car came closer to me it slowed down.

'Wow!' I taught when I saw the car.

It was a Mercedes Benz. It looked black, but then again.it's frickin dark out here.everything looks black. The car pulled over beside me. I held my breathe as the tented window slowly rolled down.

"Wanna ride?"

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw the person in the car.

"Sure!" I said sounding a little TOO wanting.

He was the last person I'd ever guess would come back here. I hoped into the passenger's side of the car and closed the door.

"Thanx Gohan." I said softly.

"No problem." He said as he put the car in reverse. He pulled the car out of that spot and turned it around. We headed for West City.

"Goten called me and told me to come get you. It took me about 25 minutes just to get down here." He laughed.

"Goten? He called you? Why?" I asked.

"He said that you were down here and you wouldn't listen to him. So he wanted me to come and get you. So.I came." He said with a smile.

"Thanx Gohan." I said softly.

I looked at the floor. That was so embarrassing. I wanted to apologized to Goten.even thought he wasn't around.I felt as if I should yell it into the sky and hope he hears me. My eyes suddenly became heavy. When was I sleepy? I guess expensive cars make you sleepy! I closed my eyes and before I knew it.I was out.

The End!

I feel so loved! That's the story. Midnight Summer! It took me long enough to finish it!

Hee hee! Just joking. I'm not finished yet. I've got a LONG way to go!
