Chapter 10: Stubborn Ways
Cheena sighed as she sat on the bottom step with her elbows resting on her knees. Sighing, she leaned back and rested her elbows on the step behind her.
"How could mom suggest this? Those two can't stand one another and yet she wants the three of us to stay over together? This is going to be so much fun" she said sarcastically.
"That's exactly what I was saying" said a voice. Cheena looked up to see Miyuki coming down the stairs. Sliding to the side, Cheena watched as Miyuki sat beside her.
"I say we get rid of her. I mean, she want her stupid boyfriend anyway so why don't we just let her go to him" Miyuki said.
"He's her fiancée, not boyfriend" Cheena said. Miyuki shrugged her shoulders with a smirk on his face.
"He's still stupid regardless and so is she for always defending him. I mean, what is her deal when it comes to guys. First her dad and now this fool?" she asked.
"I don't know. Jamie just has bad luck I guess" Cheena said.
"You guess? No, you know she does. Why do you always put yourself in these situations?" Miyuki asked.
"She is my friend Miy. I have to help her just like I would help you and anyone else. Its just what I do" Cheena said.
"Well you need to find something else to do…like work on your wedding. Jamie is a lost cause. I mean, how many times can you help her out before she gets the picture?" Miyuki asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
"And how many times will you open that mouth of yours tonight and say things that are beyond your comprehension?" a person said. Cheena and Miyuki looked to see Jamie leaning against the wall glaring at Miyuki.
"What did you say?" Miyuki yelled as she stood up. Jamie smirked as she folded her arms across her chest.
"You heard me unless your hearing is no good just like your big mouth" she said. Miyuki growled as she jumped off the steps and stood face to face with Miyuki. Quickly Cheena got up and stood between the two.
"Knock it off Jamie, now lets all chill out, ok?" she said as she looked at Miyuki then Jamie. Jamie laughed as she looked at Cheena.
"Sure, why not. Let's all just go up to your room and talk" she said as she pushed past Miyuki and up the stairs.
"Oh I'll talk to you alright. My fist would just love to have a conversation with that face of yours" Miyuki yelled as she took a step towards the stairs only to have Cheena pull her back.
"Hey, chill out" she said.
"And let her talk to me anyway she wants? Hell no! Let go of me. I'll shut her up for good" Miyuki yelled.
"Look, I know she's pushing it big time but be the bigger person please and calm down" Cheena said. Miyuki sighed as Cheena' released her arm.
"I make no promises Che, none at all if she keeps this up" Miyuki said as she walked up the stairs towards Cheena's room. Shaking her head from side to side, Cheena sighed.
"One night. Its just one night" she said over and over to herself. Chi-Chi quickly came towards Cheena and stood beside her.
"Goten called and said he was staying over at Capsule Corps for the night and for you to stay out of his room" she said.
"Why would I go in his room? He has nothing I want anyway" Cheena said as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Where is everyone?" Chi-Chi asked before she heard loud voices upstairs.
"Just follow the screaming" Cheena said as she slowly started up the stairs.
"Its just a sleepover Cheena" Chi-Chi yelled after her. Groaning, Cheena turned and looked at her mother.
"Mom, don't say that" she whined as she started up the stairs again. Chi-Chi smiled as she turned and went into the living room to watch t.v. Standing in front of her room door, Cheena sighed as she heard yelling inside.
"Here I go" she said as she opened the door and walked in. She looked to see Jamie sitting on her bed and Miyuki standing in front of her yelling.
"What is going on in here?" she asked. Looking at Cheena, Jamie folded her arms across her chest.
"Ask Miyuki since she hasn't shut up since she's come up here" she said.
"Excuse you? Cheena, she was up here going on and on about how you were lying about me and you being best friends. Please let me just punch her in the mouth, just one hit" Miyuki said.
"I'd like to see you try" Jamie said. Miyuki growled as she clenched her fist.
"Watch me" she yelled.
"Stop it! Miyuki, you're not going to punch anyone. Go sit on my computer chair and Jamie, I was not lying when I said she was my best friend" Cheena said. Miyuki smirked as she walked over to the chair and sat down.
"And why is she your best friend? You knew me first" Jamie said.
"I know that. I know that just as well as you but I don't know you anymore. I could have you has my best friend but you've changed" Cheena said.
"I have not changed. I am the same person I was when I last saw you" Jamie said.
"You got that right. You're still stupid" Miyuki mumbled to herself. Cheena glared at her before looking at Jamie.
"Look, when I last saw you, you had a problem with your dad and it was all taken care of. I got my family involved in it and they helped you out. I thought if I ever saw you again that things would be different for you. I thought you would of learned your lesson but you haven't" she said.
"What are you talking about? There was no lesson for me to learn. I don't have a dad anymore so what the hell are you talking about?" Jamie snapped.
"You know what your dad put you through and I thought you would look out for yourself better and not have it happen again" Cheena snapped back.
"Oh get off yourself Cheena, Travis doesn't do what dad did to me all those years ago" Jamie yelled.
"And you expect me to believe that? He yells at you, in public none the less, he throws you around plus he leaves you in the middle of the street late at night and you expect me to believe that" Cheena yelled back.
"He did not leave me in middle of the street" Jamie said.
"Oh excuse me, he left you on the side of the road. As if that makes a damn bit of difference" Cheena yelled. Miyuki's mouth dropped as she listened to Cheena and Jamie go at it.
* I can't blame Che one bit. I mean, how much of this can you take?* she said to herself.
"Listen, Travis and I are in love. When he told me that we would be engaged it was the greatest thing in the world" Jamie yelled.
"Hold up, he told you to become engaged to him?" Miyuki asked as she pushed herself and the chair over to the two.
"Yes he did. What, didn't Trunks and Goten do the same for you two?" Jamie asked.
"No, they asked us. How could you say yes to someone who demands that you marry them. Jamie, why can't you use your head?" Cheena asked.
"Listen, not everyone can have spoiled guys who live off their mothers money to support them" Jamie yelled. Miyuki quickly pushed her chair away as Cheena started to shake in anger.
"Excuse me? How dare you say that about Trunks. You have no right to open that mouth of yours and say such garbage. Trunks family owns Capsule Corps so of course he's apart of it. Don't let that green eye of jealous take over your mind Jamie and the next time you have something to say about Trunks, you best keep your mouth shut" she yelled.
"Why? Because I'm telling the truth. You wouldn't want him if he had no money" Jamie yelled. Cheena narrowed her eyes as she continued to shake.
*Please let me control this anger. Mom will kill me if I kill her* she yelled to herself as she stared at Jamie.
"Why don't you shut up Jamie. Money has nothing to do with Trunks and Cheena being together" Miyuki yelled.
"And I see it has nothing to do with you and Goten since you nor him have a dime to your names. I guess a street wedding is fitting for two people like you" Jamie snapped. Miyuki growled as she climbed out of the chair.
"What in the hell do you mean two people like us? What are you implying?" she yelled.
"That's what I'd like to know since Goten is my brother. What are you implying and seeing your situation, I suggest you watch what comes out of that mouth of yours" Cheena yelled as well. Jamie rolled her eyes as he phone started to ring.
"I have a call" she said as she stood up and walked over to the bathroom. Seeing the door close behind her, Cheena screamed as loud as she could.
"Who does she think she is, implying that I'm with Trunks for his money. I don't care how much money Trunks has. I'd be with him if he was dirt poor. At least we'd be together. What is wrong with her. I am so close to knocking her out" Cheena yelled.
"I told you to let me do it but no…you wanted to place peace maker. She's changed Cheena and from one friend to the other, I'm sick of seeing you get dragged into her messes. Can't you see that its tearing you up mentally?" Miyuki asked.
"I just can't help it Miy. I have never in my life turned my back on someone. I don't know how to keep out of things when it involves people I know" Cheena said.
"Then I'll show you how. Its not hard" Miyuki said with a laugh. Cheena shook her head from side to side and laughed.
"So what if something was going on with me? Would you turn your back on me" she asked.
"Of course not. We're cool so I would never do that, but Jamie, ha! I can't turn my back fast enough" Miyuki said. Cheena laughed as the bathroom door opened up and Jamie stepped out.
"Who was that? Travis?" Cheena asked.
"I don't think that's any of your business" Jamie snapped as she sat on Cheena's bed once again. Cheena just narrowed her eyes as she stared at Jamie.
"What did Travis say? He's coming over here? He better not! Did you tell him where I lived?" Cheena asked.
"That wasn't Travis on the phone. It was a friend of mines. You know what a friend is, don't you?" Jamie snapped.
"Yea, its you to Cheena" Miyuki said. Jamie growled as she jumped off the bed and stood face to face with Miyuki.
"Stop it" Cheena yelled as she stood between the two. A knock at the door was heard and in walked Chi-Chi with a large tray in her hands.
"What's with all the yelling? You girls can't agree on something?" she asked as she stood in the door way. Stepping away from Miyuki and Jamie, Cheena nodded her head.
"You could say that mom. What's that?" she asked. Chi-Chi smiled as she walked over to Cheena's bed and set the tray down. Removing the three glasses, she set them on the dresser.
"I just thought you ladies would like something to eat while you discuss things. It sounded like something was wrong though" she said.
"We're just having an argument, that's all Chi-Chi" Miyuki said.
"Her name is Mrs. Son to you" Jamie spat as she glared at Miyuki.
"Well she told me I could call her Chi-Chi so mind your business" Miyuki yelled back.
"Ladies. Jamie, it's all right. I told Miyuki it was all right and I think I remember telling you awhile ago to call me that as well" Chi-Chi said.
"I'm sorry but I can't. Travis wants me to treat my elders with respect" Jamie said. Cheena and Miyuki's eyes both went wide as the looked over at Chi-Chi.
"Elder? Are you implying that I'm old? Who is this Travis person?" Chi-Chi yelled.
"That would be Jamie's lame fiancée" Miyuki said.
"I wouldn't talk about lame fiancée's if I was you" Jamie yelled back.
"Are you calling my son lame?" Chi-Chi yelled. Cheena sighed as she heard the door downstairs.
"I'll get it and please don't break anything in my room" she said as she ran out of the room. Running down the stairs, she stopped as she stood in front of the door. The sounds of yelling hitting her head on.
*How stupid can Jamie be to say that with my mom in the room. This better be important* she said to herself as she opened the door. Seeing the person in front of her, Cheena's mouth dropped open.
"What are you doing here?" she yelled. Travis had a frown on his face as he pushed his way inside.
"Where is Jamie?" he yelled.
"I asked you a question and how dare you push your way into my house. Get out of here now" Cheena yelled as she glared at him.
"I'm not going anywhere without Jamie" Travis yelled. Hearing yelling upstairs, he quickly ran up.
"This is not what I need right now" Cheena yelled as she slammed the door shut and took off up the stairs after Travis.
