~::Standing By::~
Sitting in the kitchen, Miyuki wiped her eyes as she rested her head on the table top. Sighing, she sat back in the chair and stared straight ahead.
"I can't believe him. I can't believe what he said" Miyuki said as she shook her head from side to side.
~Flashback~
"Goten! Stop this and listen! I love you and I don't want to see you hurt yourself. Stop yourself before it gets overwhelming for you" Miyuki pleaded as she stared at him. Growling, Goten walked over and stood so close to Miyuki, they were practically nose to nose.
"The only thing that is overwhelming me is your nagging and big mouth. Stay the hell out of my business and from now on you can stay out of my life. I want nothing more to do with you. I've grown tired of you and this whole family. All of you stay away from me" he shouted as he turned around.
~End Flashback~
"I told him I loved him and he told me he wanted nothing more to do with me? What does that mean? Is he ending our relationship? I have to know" Miyuki said as she jumped out of her seat and ran out of the kitchen. Everyone was still in the living room except for one person as Miyuki came into the room.
"Are you ok Miyuki?" Chi-Chi asked as she sat next to Goku. Looking around the room, Miyuki looked at Chi-Chi.
"Where is Cheena?" she asked.
"She went upstairs to talk to Goten a few minutes ago" Chico said as she kicked her feet against the couch. Miyuki nodded her head before running her hand through her hair.
"I know this is hard for you Miyuki. Its hard for all of us" Gohan said as he looked at her.
"I just wish I knew what to do for him. I want to help him but I don't know how" Miyuki said.
"We all wish we could help him" Trunks said. Just then everyone heard screaming and what sounded like footsteps running down the stairs. Suddenly Cheena ran into the room with Goten right behind her.
"GIVE IT HERE!" Goten yelled as he tackled Cheena to the ground.
"GET OFF OF ME!" Cheena yelled as she swung at Goten. Growling, Goten quickly wrapped his hand around her throat.
"GIVE IT HERE!" he yelled again as he glared at her.
"GOTEN!!" Chi-Chi yelled as Trunks and Gohan rushed over and pulled him off of Cheena. Finally getting free, Cheena backed away from Goten with her hand placed on her throat.
"You tried to suffocate me? Are you nuts!" she yelled as she looked at him. Goten growled as he looked at her.
"What is this about?" Bulma shouted as she looked at Goten then Cheena. Trying to catch her breath, Cheena reached inside her shirt and pulled out a few dollars.
"He wants this. This is my money" she said as she glared at Goten. Goten was breathing in a rapid pace as he glared at Cheena.
"Give it here or I will take away any chance of you breathing again" he shouted.
"Goten that's enough!" Goku shouted as he looked at his son. Goten glared at him before looking at Cheena.
"Fine, don't think I don't know where you keep the rest of your money" he said as he pulled away from Trunks and Gohan and ran back upstairs.
"GOTEN!" Cheena shouted as she stood up. Miyuki looked at Cheena then in the direction that Goten just ran.
"Let me talk to him. I might be able to talk some sense into him" she said as she ran upstairs.
"DON"T LET HIM TAKE MY MONEY" Cheena shouted after Miyuki once she left the room. Growling as loud as she could, Cheena clenched the money in her hand.
"Cheena, what happened up there?" Trunks asked as he walked over to her.
"We were talking…well I was talking, he was looking for something in his room. Next thing I know he's in my room going through my stuff looking for my money. How in the world did he know where my money was?" Cheena snapped as she glared down at Chico.
"Don't look at me. I didn't tell anyone that you keep it in your top drawer and closet" Chico said as she waved her hands back and forth. Cheena glared at Chico for awhile before sighing.
"Miyuki better stop him because if I find one cent missing I'm telling you, I won't be a twin anymore" she said as she sat down on the couch. Upstairs, Miyuki walked over to Cheena's room and quickly went inside. She shook her head from side to side as she watched Goten dig through Cheena's stuff.
"Goten, what do you think your doing? Your tearing up Cheena's room!" she yelled. Goten rolled his eyes as he continued what he as doing.
"Mind your business Miy" he snapped as he tossed Cheena's clothes to the side of the room and continued to dig through her drawer. "Where is it? I know she's got more money then that" he said.
"Goten, why are you stealing from your own family? Cheena saved up her money and your just going to take it from her?" Miyuki asked as she walked over to Goten.
"She owes me anyway so I might as well take what is mine" Goten said as he walked over to Cheena's closet and started to rip her clothes out.
"How does she owe you? I've never seen Cheena take any money from you so how does she owe you?" Miyuki asked. Goten remained quiet as he continued to tear Cheena's clothes out of her closet. "You can't answer me cause you know she doesn't owe you. What is this about Goten?" Miyuki said after Goten's long pause.
"I just need some money right now. I need a drink" Goten said as he reached up and ran his hand along the self in the closet.
"No you don't Goten. Can't you see what its doing to you?" Miyuki asked. Goten smiled as he felt a small chest. Taking it out, he opened it to see some more money.
"Found it" he said as he took all of the money out and tossed the chest to the side of the room. Miyuki watched the chest hit the wall then looked at Goten.
"Goten, stop please. You don't know what your doing" she said.
"I think I know what I'm doing. I need money and seeing as how I'm tapped out, I'll just take it from someone who doesn't know how to spend money properly" Goten snapped.
"And what's the proper way to spend money? By drinking it away? That's not the way Goten. You have to stop what you are doing. Drinking is turning you into a person I do not like and its scaring me" Miyuki said.
"Well if your scared go hide under your bed or something. I have better things to do then talk to you" Goten said as he walked towards Miyuki.
"I'm not going anywhere until you listen to what I have to say. I don't want anything to happen to you. You may not care about what happens to you but I do. If something were to happen to you, I wouldn't know what to do" Miyuki said as she stood in Goten's way.
"I don't care what you want to do. I know what I want to do and that's go to the bar now get out of my way" Goten said.
"Downstairs you said that you wanted me to stay out of your life and you wanted nothing to do with me. Did you mean that? I have to know. Did you mean what you said?" Miyuki asked as he stared at him. Goten looked at her for a second before rolling his eyes.
"I have to go" he said as he attempted to get by Miyuki but she pushed him back. Goten looked shocked as he stared at Miyuki's now angry face.
"DID YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAID?" she shouted as loud as she could that they could possibly hear her downstairs. She didn't care if they heard her or not. She just had to know what he was feeling, if he meant what he said to her.
"No, I didn't mean it. I was angry and you were nagging me. You still are nagging me. Why won't you just leave me alone. Give up already. Everyone else already did, I can see it in their eyes. No one can help me and I don't want any help" Goten said.
"That's not true. Not everyone has given up on you. I know you want to change. You want to stop but you don't know how. Let me help you" Miyuki said.
"Did you not hear what I said a second ago? I don't want any help. I can take care of myself. Stop worrying about me" Goten said.
"I can never stop worrying about you. I love you Goten. Don't you love me anymore?" Miyuki asked. Goten looked at her for awhile before nodding his head.
"Can I go now?" he asked impatiently.
"Not until you say you love me. I know you do so just say it" Miyuki said.
"What the hell do you think I just said?" Goten snapped as he glared at her.
"You just shook your head up and down. That's not saying it. I want you to say it. I need for you to say it" Miyuki said.
"Why do you need me to say it? You know I do so why do I have to say it?" Goten asked.
"Because it shows me that you mean it. Anyone can nod their head to respond to something but it takes a lot of strength to open your mouth and actually say how you feel. I said it and I know you can say it to" Miyuki said.
"Fine, I love you now let me go" Goten slightly yelled as he glared at Miyuki. Shaking her head from side to side, Miyuki took a step back.
"You didn't mean that" she said.
"Look, I'll say it the way you want if you get out of my way. I want to go" Goten said as he walked towards her. Miyuki growled as she pushed Goten back again.
"No, you are not getting past me" she yelled.
"Miyuki, I do not want to hurt you but if I have to I will" Goten snapped as he walked towards her again. Miyuki growled as she went to push him back again but he grabbed her wrists tightly. With no hesitation, he pulled her to the side. Miyuki screamed slightly as she fell onto Cheena's bed. Looking at her through the corner of his eye, Goten looked at her before leaving the room.
"GOTEN!" Miyuki shouted as she jumped up and gave chase after him. Walking down the stairs, Goten started towards the front door but Miyuki jumped in front of him.
"Miy, get out of my face" Goten shouted as he pushed her to the side. Shaking it off, Miyuki dodged in front of him again. "What is wrong with you?" Goten shouted as he glared at her.
"I'm not going to let you leave. Do what you have to do to me but I'm not going to let you leave here with Cheena's money to drink" Miyuki said as she stood her ground.
"CHEENA'S WHAT?" Cheena yelled as she jumped off the couch and stood in the doorway of the living room. She glared at Goten as he glared back at her with a smirk on his face. Quickly he showed her the money in his hand before smiling.
"Let's just say I'm taking out a loan" he said with a laugh. Cheena growled as she reached for the money but he pulled his hand away.
"Do I have the word First National Bank of Cheena written on my forehead. Give that back Goten? We're talking over a hundred dollars in your hand? Maybe more. I worked hard for that" Cheena snapped as she reached for it again but Goten again pulled his hand away.
"In that case there is no way your getting this back. I have plans for this money" Goten said.
"You can't drink her money away and I won't let you drink your life away. This is killing me Goten. Can't you see that?" Miyuki asked as she placed her hand over her heart and stared into Goten's eyes.
"The only thing I see is you in my way now move" Goten shouted as he pushed Miyuki to the side once again. Stumbling slightly, Miyuki grasped the wall for support as she looked over her shoulder at Goten's body leaving the house.
"GOTEN!" she shouted as she took off after him. Standing in the doorway, Cheena watched them go before running up the stairs towards her room.
"Cheena, where are you going?" Chico yelled as she ran out of the living room.
"To check on my room" Cheena yelled back as she ran towards her room. Outside, Miyuki stood in front of Goten with her hands on his chest, attempting to push him back. Goten rolled his eyes as he continued to walk on.
"Would you stop that and go back into the house? You can't stop me?" Goten said as he stopped walking.
"Just listen. I don't want you to get hurt. Please, don't go" Miyuki said as small tears fell down her face. Goten looked at her before grabbing her arm.
"Go inside" he said as he pulled her to the side. Miyuki stumbled but this time couldn't keep her balance as she fell to the ground. Not even looking back at her, Goten walked towards his car and climbed in. Getting up, Miyuki stood in front of the car.
"I'm not going to let you go" she shouted as she spread her arms out wide.
"Don't think I won't hit you. Get out of the way" Goten yelled as he glared at her. Miyuki shook her head no as she held her ground. Growling, Goten backed the car up before speeding away. Miyuki dropped her arms as she watched him go.
"He could of hit me but he didn't" she said as she dropped her head. Suddenly her head was picked back up by the sound of a loud scream.
"GOTEN!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO!!!!" Cheena yelled as loud as she could. Sighing, Miyuki glanced in the direction Goten just went.
"No Cheena, its more of what can I do to help him? I'm not giving up. Not now. Not ever" she said as she turned around and ran back into the house.
