In Your Dreams

Chapter 14: Unbreakable love

WWOWW !! My last chapter was pretty corny ^_^;; Not to mention it's been a while…WARNING: I started out hoping it to have a certain plot but by the looks of it, that won't happen…so I'm going to end it with this last chapter and sorry if it sucks. I'm hoping to start a new one with a brand new sense of maturity so I hope I'll keep my fans `xD

Pan woke with a start. Her vision was hazy…all she could make out was the blurry dancing flame of the candle in front of her. She looked behind her to find the distressed waitress trying to wake her up.

"Miss, could I get you anything while you're waiting? Some tea perhaps?" The waitress asked with a truly genuine smile.

"No thanks" Pan answered with a yawn. "I'd rather wait." Pan fixed her hair as the waitress walked off, smoothed out the wrinkles of her dress and tapped her fingers on the table once more. She looked out onto the window next to her. The restaurant was on a boardwalk of the beach with nice chairs and tables set outside with brightly colored umbrella's for shade, although pointless at this hour. Pan was sitting on one of the inside tables in a nice black dress (how unlike her), candle's lit, with no one to indulge in conversation. The sky was a dark purple, looking as though it would rain. It was 9:30 and Pan was definitely getting impatient.

"Baka, baka, baka!" Pan slammed her fists on the table, shaking a few water glasses. "He's an hour and a half late!" She rested her head on her hand and sighed. She was going to give it to him this time.

[15 minutes later]

Trunks rushed into the restaurant, his eyes scanning for the patch of jet black hair. ' I knew I shouldn't have let Goten dress me, I totally lost track of time…plus that stupid elevator thing took forever.'

Trunks walked further into the restaurant continuing to rush and scan the people dining there. "Kuso…It looks like she didn't wait for-"

He stopped dead in his tracks, as his panicked stare met Pan's furious one. He flashed her a nervous smile as he started slowly for the table. With each step that Trunks took, he knew her ki was only inches away from blowing through the ceiling. Pan never broke her deadly gaze upon him, even until he finally came up to the table. Trunks didn't dare sit down.

"You're late" Pan said in a full monotone voice.

Trunks scratched the back of his head. "I know, gomen nasai Pan. I can explain. You see getting ready…uhh and…the clothes. The elevator wasn't…erm…Goten.."

Pan abruptly stood up as other nosey people watched in suspense. "Oh sure Trunks, blame it on my uncle. Blame it on everything but yourself! Besides…who could flaw the ever so perfect Trunks Briefs of Capsule Corp.! (A couple of more girls started to look up at this) Mr. Bigshot, Mr. Right…who could ever refuse you? Showing up 2 hours late wouldn't hurt I guess, especially since your charm is just so irresistible. Well may Kami have mercy on you Trunks cause I'm a girl who's not going to stand it!" Thunder shook outside as some drops of rain hit the glass windows.

Trunks looked nervously at all the people staring at them. He didn't want to make a scene. "Pan can't we talk about this somewhere.."

There was a flash of lightning.

"No Trunks! We're just not going to talk. It's obvious that you don't care about me. That I'm just another one of your BIMBO crushes of whom you'll just get into BED with."

Trunks started at this, now fully unaware of the strangers listening in. "Pan that's not true." But Pan had already rushed past him. He was immobilized as he felt her ki burning through her. She shoved the door open and broke into a run outside. It was fully raining now.

Pan ran and ran, careless of which direction she was going in. The cold raindrops were hitting her body hard as it blended with her steaming tears. She could make out the ocean through the misty fog as her bare feet left the rough wood of the boardwalk and sunk lightly into the wet sand. Obviously she lost her heels in the rush. She started to power up and fly across the water. Only feet above the sand, she felt a grip around her ankles as someone aggressively pulled her back to the ground. She fell on top of an equally damp figure who inevitably was Trunks, who caught up to her in little more than a heartbeat.

"Leave me alone Trunks." Pan said a little louder than her normal voice for the sound of heavy raindrops hitting the sand made it hard to hear. She began to walk away again, ready to ignore and bustle through anything the kept her from getting away.

"Pan please!" Trunks yelled. Pan didn't stop. From his quivering voice she knew that he was crying. She couldn't face him, she just couldn't. "Pan don't leave me again. I can't lose you…not after all these years. I love you so much."

Pan stopped and turned around. His figure was almost blurred from the whirring rain. Three feet away from each other they stood in silence. It was just as they had stood in front of Pan's school. Only this time, there was no sunshine. There were no birds chirping in the distance. No rustle of trees as the wind blew. No gleaming into each other's eyes. No rays of warmth that settled upon them. No, there was only cold and dampness. Only the crashing waves of the deep, empty ocean. Only a silence that signified every anxiety of words they wanted to say. Only every breath that they took in pain, how hard it was to struggle and strain out every emotion in their bodies. It was like a caged animal, wanting to get out, and pulling every single heart-string in order to do so. The rain hit their weary faces, but they did not break their gaze.

Pan was breathing heavily…it was her turn to break the silence between them. She couldn't look at him any longer. She put her face in her hands and broke into a sob. She began to fall on her knees, but Trunks, instinctively ran up to her to catch her from her fall. Both on their knees, she fell into his arms and cried freely now, angry at everything that was happening. "How could you love me Trunks? How could you! After all these years of ignoring me…treating me like a child! It felt awful. Year after year I longed for you. I loved you with an unconditional love that went unnoticed! And now that you feel it's the time for you to say you love me, you expect me to melt? To fall to your every command? Well it hurts Trunks! It hurts..." She cried into his chest as he hugged her tight. Rain united with the tears that were flowing down his cheeks.

"Pan…I know how hard it's been for you and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry" He sobbed. "… and I'll do anything to make it up to you. I've wanted you Pan, I've wanted you for 4 years. I just couldn't say it…how could I? I watched you grow up. I watched as you turned from a playful little brat to…to this blossoming woman." He took her chin with his hand and raised her face up to meet his. "I gazed at you Pan, and…and I was amazed. You matured so much, and we became such friends. I couldn't jeopardize that. But I'm in love with you Pan…and I always will be.

Her eyes pierced into his as she absorbed each of his words. He unsuccessfully tried to wipe away her tears with his thumb (the rain kept pouring) and she smiled at this, and so did he. They shared a bond, whether they wanted to rip each other's throats out or embrace each other with a love that was unbreakable.

The last few tears rolled down Pan's faced and she glowed with bliss. "You don't know how long I've been wanting to hear that Trunks."

He grinned. "You don't know how long I've been wanting to say it."

And in the cold, pouring rain they kissed. They've been holding back for so long that they kissed with a fire and passion that could never be matched. Their souls merged together and they finally had the chance to let their emotions flow freely. Nothing else mattered to them now, except the warmth they shared that shielded them from the rain…and any other obstacle that would approach them in the future.

THE END
