Chapter 2 - Secret Revealed
"What?! What was that?!" The classes already begun. But because his teacher, Camel, was ill, he wasn't able to teach for 3 days. So, Goten was just wandering in the school hall. There was no one around. Only he was in the hall.
"Did someone just scream? I thought..." Again, Goten heard the scream. This time, he was sure that it was a scream. He was horrified who's scream it was. He wanted to knew, so he went to the girls' bathroom. Because that is the place where he heard it. He hesitated when he stood in front of the girls' bathroom.
"It's not very proper if I just walk in, but..." So Goten opened the door...
He saw no one...
His guess was, that it was coming from inside one of the three doors. He had to guess. But it didn't took long, because he saw blood. The blood was fresh. It was shining.
Goten had seen many bleedings in a fight, but it feared him this time. Because this was not a fight. He was not in a battle, where a bit blood would be pretty normal. No, this was school. His school.
He tried to open the door, but it was locked.
'Of course, it's locked, you fool,' He spoke to himself. Then, he used his powers to break the door and it worked.
He gasped.
'Tell me this isn't true.. Tell me, it's not...' Goten was even more afraid then he would be in a battle. He saw her...
"Goten..." Her eyes were so vulnerable. So fragile. So hurt... He could and would never ever forget these eyes. The tears formed in their eyes.
~*~
"Why... Bra?"
But the blue haired girl couldn't find herself an answer. She knew how to answer herself.
'You, it was you! You broke my heart! You kissed Paris in front of my own eyes!' Bra cried those phrases deep in her heart, her heart was breaking. She didn't want him to see her right now. She didn't want to let him know that she saw the incident, the whole heart-breaking situation for her.
He saw her as his best friend. As his sister, who he could always talk with. But Bra wanted more than that. But she was torn from inside. She knew that she could only fool herself with that.
"It's none of your business, Goten." Goten looked deep into her eyes. His own eyes were unable to hold back the tears. Neither could hers...
"Bra, why are you doing this?! When have you become like this?!" Goten kneeled down right next beside her. He wanted to hold her tight. Her trembling body, but she refused to let him touch her. So she avoided his touch. Goten couldn't help but to let his tears roll. After all, what else could he do?
"When Bra, just tell me!" Bra was always the strongest of the girls. But in fact, she was the most vulnerable girl of her class. She did try to hold back her tears, but she couldn't.
"Why do you care?! I thought that you only cared about Paris!!!" Bra yelled. Goten didn't know how to reply.
"What?! But Paris, she is my girl...."
"SHUT UP!!!!! The last person I want to hear or see is you!!! Now get out!!!" Goten stared at the knife in her hands. He watched her blood flow. It was too painful to watch. He thought for a very long time, but couldn't think of an answer... why?
"Bra, please, let me help you!" Bra couldn't stand it anymore. She was angry, hurt, sad and very upset. Then, she started to yell loudly at him.
"Don't you see?! You only make things worse!!!" But she put so much anger in that sentence, that she started to feel all of her emotions running in her head. She couldn't take it any longer, so she collapsed...
~*~
"What? Where, where am I?" Bra looked around her, she saw nothing, but emptiness. She noticed that she was in a room. A very dark room. The curtains were all shut. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn't. She couldn't move. As if she was chained, but she saw no chains.
"Paris, you are the love of my life. You know that I only see Bra as my baby sister, don't you? You are the only one I love and cherish. And don't you worry about Bra, she won't mind us being together. I know that I got that love letter from her, but I tore it apart. Does that satisfy you, my dear Paris?"
"Yes it does. As long as she doesn't take you away from me. But then again, she is quit ugly, don't you think, my love?" He only nodded and then they both laughed hard. They were laughing at her.
Paris was laughing at her...
And the worse thing, Goten was laughing with her....
~*~
"Noooooo!!!!!" Bra's eyes went wide open. When she looked around her, she saw a bright room. And a man.
"Bra, are you okay? Should I call your parents? They must be worried sick!" Bra looked at his face.
"I'm alright, uncle Goku." Goku just smiled and not long, ChiChi came in along with Pan.
"Oh my God! Bra, are you alright?!" Pan stood next beside her and screamed in her ear. Bra only laughed and smiled at everyone.
"Thank you for your caring and thank you for bringing me here." The Son's were looking at each other. No one spoke, till ChiChi stared into Bra's eyes.
"Well, actually, my son Goten brought you home. He said that you weren't feeling very well and that you needed rest. So I just nodded when he asked." But Bra wasn't paying much attention. She only heard half. The part that Goten brought her home. Then she remembered.
'Oh no, this is bad. Goten knows now that I have cut myself several times that day. He knows now that I hate him!' Bra just smiled at everyone. Then Pan took her arm and shrieked.
"OH MY GOD!!! What on Earth happened with your arm?! It's full of scratches and there's blood everywhere!!!" Bra quickly put her arms under the blanket. ChiChi stared at her.
"Yes Bra, how did that come? When Goten brought you here, you were all covered under the blood. How did that happen?" Bra didn't want to talk about this. She just smiled and hoped that they wouldn't ask any further.
And they didn't, because Goten came in.
"Mom, dad, Pan, can I speak with Bra alone?" Everyone stared at each other. Wondering what was going on.
"Sure, Goten. Just so you know, I got your blanket and your pillows and I already put it at the couch." ChiChi smiled at Goten and Goten nodded 'a thank you nod'.
"Yeah, you need to rest here for a while. In your condition, I think it's better for you not to move too much. So now, you are sleeping in my room and I will be sleeping at the couch of the living room. I will tell Bulma and Vegeta that you are with Pan." Bra just stared at him.
'He has such gorgeous eyes. Why can't I get him out of my mind?!' Goten just smiled and didn't ask anything about the scratches, damages and that incident anymore. He just smiled and let it go. He walked towards the door.
"Goten.." Goten looked back. They stared into each others' eyes.
'Bra, why won't you just tell me what's going on? What wrong with you? Why can't you tell me? Please tell me... Maybe I can help you...' Goten's thoughts were trailing off.
"Thank you.." With that, Goten hoped for more, but then he saw her turn around and sleep. Softly, he whispered.
"Anytime..." And he left with a worried, upset and disappointed face..
~*~
"Bra, dinner is ready." Goten stood in front of the door calling for Bra. But there was no response. Goten slowly opened the door, just to see if everything was alright. And things were. Because Bra was sleeping there peacefully.
'Like an angel.... She looks so sweet when she is asleep.' Goten watched her sleep. He couldn't take his eyes off her.
'I wish that she could be my sister. Trunks is really lucky to have such a sweet sister.' Goten sighed and planned to leave, until he heard Bra murmur his name.
"Goten... why? Why do you keep hurting me like this? Tell me, Goten... Please.." Then Bra turned to the other side of the bed again. Goten didn't understand. With what, when, how did he hurt her?! He couldn't remember. Not that he would even hurt her. He wouldn't dare.
"Bra, what are you talking about?" Goten waited for Bra's reply. But she didn't reply. She was sleeping. So, Goten decided not to worry about that for a sec. He walked out and closed the door.
~*~
"Bra, glad that you are awake. I see you must have been in a deep sleep. I called you, but you just didn't wake up. Then I heard you talk about something. Well, actually more like murmur." Bra was still half asleep. She lifted her head and gazed into his eyes. His eyes were soft, warm, sweet, beautiful and caring. But her eyes were cold. Just cold as ice.
"Goten, I don't want to talk right now," Bra said with a cold tone. Goten sighed and smiled.
"Well, we saved you dinner. It's in the fridge. You just need to warm it up and..."
"Yeah, thanks," Bra cut in abruptly. She walked away from him to the fridge and didn't look back at Goten. Now that Goku and ChiChi were off to the shopping mall to find a few things for Goten's birthday, Goten and Bra were left alone in the Son's house.
"Look Bra, I didn't want to ask you before, but I just can't ignore it. What are you doing?!" Bra put the food in the microwave and then stared at Goten.
"What does it look like I'm doing?!" Goten didn't want this. He didn't want to get into a fight with Bra. They never ever had a fight before. They were such close friends. Like brother and sister..... Like brother and sister...
"Bra, you know that is not what I meant. I mean, what are you doing to yourself?! What have you gotten yourself into?!" Goten gazed into her eyes. He didn't like those eyes again. Cold and distant.
"I don't know what you mean..."
"Who hurt you?! Just tell me Bra, maybe I can help." Bra couldn't take it anymore. She thought that she could handle this without yelling or something. But she couldn't hold it anymore.
"Help?! You don't even know who hurt me?! Who did this to me! Hell, you don't even know what kind of hurt I am talking about!!!!" Goten saw Bra get mad before. But this was bad. Last time at school, Bra snapped at him as well. Telling him that it was all his fault. But he could not understand.
"Bra, then tell me. Who hurt you?! I will kill that person who hurt you!" Bra was now on the verge of tears. Her whole body was trembling now. She was still weak. She felt her eyes burning.
"Goten, just stop it... I beg of you! Please stop!" Bra slowly collapsed, she was now sitting down at the floor in a corner. She was afraid. Of what?! Or better, of who?!
'Goten, stop talking. I am tired of this! I can't handle this! Why can't you see it?! Are you that blind to see how I feel for you? Why do you keep torturing me?! I just can't seem to understand!' Goten slowly knelt beside her and wanted to touch her face, but Bra ignored his touch. Quickly, she stood up and ran away. She ran to her room and then shut the door.
Once she was inside, she broke down and cried. Outside the door, Goten knocked on the door. He practically banged on the door. But Bra leaned against the door.
'Goten, stop hurting me!!!!!!' Bra spotted the knife next to her. She probable forgot to put it back into her bag. Then she cut herself again.... Again, again and again. The blood didn't stop running. Again she cut herself.
Again, again and again....
