The steady beeping continued through the night as Rina sat by Trunks' side
in the hospital. She had gotten the call around seven o'clock in the
evening, about an hour and a half after Trunks had left her house. It was
Bulma, obviously upset about something. Rina had answered the phone and
was trying to calm Bulma down but when she heard the words 'Trunks might
die.' Rina slammed down the phone and flew off to the Capsule Corp. She
had gotten there a few minutes later, going with Bulma to the hospital.
Vegeta was already there, along with his son, they were both in a critical
condition but Vegeta they knew would make it. Bra sat on Rina's lap while
looking at her big brother's torn body lying on the hospital bed. She
glanced up at Rina's sad face and nuzzled into Rina's shirt. "Is Twunks
gonna be okay Wina?" Bra asked sadly.
"Of course he's going to be okay Bra. There's nothing to worry about. He's just resting that's all." Rina answered with a cheerful tone. Bra smiled slightly, the lie had worked. It had almost made Rina feel better, she would have smiled too if she thought it was true, but she didn't know. Looking out into the hallway she saw a clock that showed it was nine fifty four. Already it was almost ten. She felt bad because she hadn't told the others what was wrong and Goten should know. Picking up Bra she sat her down on the chair and told her she would be right back. Quietly she walked out of the room, heading past Vegeta's room where Bulma was hunched over his body and crying. Rina bit her lip, wondering if she should go in, but decided against it. Passing by she went to the main office, asking about a phone. They pointed to one nearby and she thanked the ladies. After dialing her number and waiting for one of them to answer the phone she got her mom.
"Young Lady what do you think you're doing out so late? You've got school tomorrow Missy!" Chi Chi yelled as soon as Rina said hello.
"Mom, please listen." After explaining everything to Chi Chi her mother handed the phone to Goten and allowed Rina to explain to him what happened. Just as she had, Goten slammed down the phone and tore out of his house, heading towards the hospital. By the time he got there it was almost ten thirty and Rina looked worn out. She led him to the room Trunks was in and sat back in her chair, picking up Bra and setting her on her lap again. Surprised that Bra was still awake, Rina stroked her hair gently, knowing that Bra was probably just as scared, despite the good things Rina said.
The time passed and Bulma came in every now and then to sit by her son. She would just stare at his pale and peaceful face and sometimes smile at him. She ran her finger along his face and began to cry. Eventually getting up and walking back to the room Vegeta was in, Rina sighed and looked at Trunks the same way Bulma did. Goten raised an eyebrow and began to put two and two together about the unique relationship his sister had with his best friend. Not saying anything Goten just leaned back in his chair and thought. By now Bra had fallen asleep and Rina was dozing off as well. Looking out at the clock it read twelve. So now it was midnight. Figuring that if Trunks woke up or moved or anything it would wake her up Rina shut her eyes, almost immediately falling off into a deep sleep.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP The noise woke Rina up in an instant. She looked over at Trunks and realized he wasn't breathing. She lifted up Bra and set her down on the chair, running out into the hallway. She yelled and screamed for the doctor's but no one was coming.why wasn't anyone coming!? She began running down the halls, waking everyone up and screaming at the top of her lungs for help. Finally doctors and nurses began to come and filed into the room Trunks was in. Bra and Goten had been shoved out of the room and Bulma was trying to get in. Rina pushed her way past a couple of nurses also trying to get in the room and attempted to look in. She jumped up and saw them trying to revive Trunks, and also that it wasn't working. Tears dripped down to the floor, tears that she hadn't even realized she was crying. She looked through the glass window that showed into the room and caught glimpses of Trunks every now and then. She began to cry harder, knowing in her heart he wasn't going to make it. She leaned her head into the glass and cried softly, her hands clenched in fists. Feeling a soft touch on her shoulder she looked up to see Goten, tears welling in his eyes though none ever came. Turning towards him she cried on him, sobbing uncontrollably; realizing the one she truly loved was never going to wake up.
