Chapter four: Apologies
I ran into the house sobbing like crazy, I couldn't bare Trunks to see me like this. I ran through the living room and passed Vegeta and Piccilo; who were talking to each other about something...Vegeta must have figured it out about my so called 'problem'. *great does anyone else need to know, or should I just tell the whole fucking world?!* I yelled to my head. Whatever. Anyway when I ran by, both the guys gave me a weary look but I just ignored it and hurried up the stairs into my room, slamming the door behind me.

Goten and Goku just looked confused. "Whaphs wrogph wiph hur?" Goku said with a mouth full of food.
Trunks walked into the house a few minutes after Vegeta and Piccilo saw Jorden run upstairs upset.

"What'd YOU do?" Vegeta asked flatly.

"I didn't do anything.we were just talking about.some.er.stuff and she got upset it's not my fault!" He yelled throwing his hand in front of him in defense. *.It is my fault. I got Jordy upset.Ugh-Trunks you're such and idiot!*

"Rrriiiight."

"Whatever." Trunks sighed and walked out of the room, when he was met with Goten by the bottom of the stairs.

"What'd you do?" he asked.

"Huh?"

" Well, I saw you go outside after Jordy, then the next thing I new she was running up the stairs, looking really upset."

"I didn't DO anything! Would you all lay off?!" Trunks yelled in frustration. ".well, okay maybe I got her a little upset-but I didn't mean to!" Goten just glanced from his friend to upstairs and then back at Trunks, in other words, to basically say; well? Aren't you going to apologize?

"I'm getting to that part!" giving a heavy sigh, Trunks made his way up the stairs towards Jordens room. *man she probably thinks I'm the biggest jerk! Way to blow it Trunks.*
In Jordy's room..

"Great now he thinks I'm a weak freak!" I yelled into my pillow still crying. "I can't believe this! Crying in front of him was SO embarrassing. Not only was that bad, but Piccilo and Vegeta seen me too! God I'm So Lame!" I cried even harder. Just then I heard a knock on the door. "Go away!" I screamed. I didn't want anyone seeing me like this.

"Jorden, can I come in.please." It was Trunks.

"No."

"Look I'm really sorry for making you upset.I was being a jerk-please let me in so I can at least apologize, then you can hate me afterwards." he said through the other side of the door.

".."

"Jordy?"

"..okay....Well, aren't you going to come in?"

"Um."

"What?"

"It would help if you unlocked the door."
"Oh sorry." I walked over and unlocked the door, but Trunks was pushing on it at the same time, so when I went to open it, we both hit the floor, Trunks landed right on top of me. (A/N: Jorden you luck bastard!) We both stared at each other blankly for a few seconds until we bolted off of each other, each of our faces redder then a tomato.

"Sorry!" we said in unison. Just then my telephone in my room rang. And Trunks picked it up since he was closer. "Hello?"

"Jordy, girl! Man you sound like you've got a cold- wait a min..your not Jordy! Where is she?! Is this Joe- what have you done to her you sick Bastard?!" it was Ashley.

Trunks just seemed confused. "Miss I'm not-"

"Don't lye to me! I can hear her crying in the background! I swear if you've harmed a hair on her head I'll have the police on your ass so fast, you won't know what hit you! Hang on Jordy, Hun! I'm coming to get you!" and with that she hung up.

"One of your friends?" Trunks looked at me as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, that was Ashley. She's my best friend in the whole world. She sounded pretty worried."

"That's probably because she must have thought I was your dad, she's on her way over here right now." He said, narrowing his eyes at me.

"Only Ashley ever new about my um.'problem' she's always there for me when my Father and I .er.fought. She's like a big sister." I smiled. I was so very thankful that I had a friend like Ashley.

"By the way, I just wanted to say that yeah, I'm sorry for the way I acted down there-"Trunks apologized.

"No, I'm the one saying that I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you, you were only trying to help."

"But I shouldn't have gotten angry; I had no right to accuse you of not trying to go for help.And you're right-I had no business in knowing." Trunks said sadly, coming a little close to me.

"Then I guess..we're both sorry." I said as we got even closer to each other.

Trunks lifted his hand and gently placed it on the side of my cheek. "..Does it still hurt?"

"What?"

"Your cheek, that wasn't from a fight at school, was it?" he asked, Trunks had some what of an angry tone to it.

"Oh..I've taken harder hits. Actually I'm surprised, this one isn't really bad." I joked. *God I wanna kiss him! Kiss me already!*

Just then, who other then Ashley, flung open the door. "Joe, get your hands off ..of....her. Whaaaatttttoohh my god! 'The hell is going on here?!" Ashley asked. And she wasn't the only one. Adam, another one of my few friends was there as well, their eyes now as big as saucers. (A/N: Adam is Ashley's big brother)

Trunks and I broke apart quickly. "Ash, Adam! .Heh, meet Trunks, I'm sure you uh, know him."
