Chapter 17: stick of gum at the bottom of my pocket
Gohan landed in his front yard, just finishing up with his dinner with Videl, landing in the foot deep snow, that was still being freshly re- paved. It was a rather difficult fly home, trying to see through all the snow, but he was able to manage. Trucking toward the house he saw a giant snowman, must have been the one Sadi and Goten made. Walking up to it Gohan looked it over, as hard it was to see in the night, it was given a glow from the house lights. Looking at the snow man made him slightly smile, it's three snow ball halves were done quiet well, as for his face, it was obviously done by Goten.
Shaking his head he headed toward the front door. Opening it up, he stood in the wide open foyer, stomped the snow off his boots and brushed his jacket off. Everyone was sitting in the living room next to the fire with their pajama's on.
"Oh hey there Gohan," ChiChi smiled looking back at her son, while she was curled up on the couch, "have a good time?"
"Yeah," he said quietly as he hung up his jacket.
Goten leaped up from his lying position on the floor and hopped toward Gohan, "hey Gohan! Did you see the snowman me and Sadi made? Isn't he neat!"
Sadi watched little Goten while she was sitting on her chair and giggled, he was so cute how he would get so excited about things, and rush to tell his brother whom he favored so much. Goten had been asking consistently when Gohan would be home just to show him the snowman.
"Yeah, its real cool Goten," Gohan smiled pulling his off his shoes.
"I know!" Goten then ran back to where he was lying and plopped down on the floor.
"Why don't you come out here with us, Gohan?" ChiChi asked with a giggle, "we might put in a movie."
Gohan looked at her and gave a shrug, "I'll see, I am pretty tired."
"Well alright, but please do."
Gohan just gave a weak wave and headed to his room. Closing the door behind him, he let out a sigh then began to change into his sleeping outfit. Laying down on his bed he stared up at the ceiling with his hands tucked behind his head. He couldn't take his mind off what had happened this evening, a stiff inhale of air clogged his chest, tears seemed to form in his eyes.
When he walked in and saw Sadi, it made him feel as guilty as sin. He loved Sadi, not Videl, or was it just the opposite, what was it? Gohan began to breathe harshly. What has he done? Sadi has opened a window to his heat as well as his mind. She has shown more kindness and compassion then any person could ever withhold, and he betrayed her, betrayed because of his weakness. Being new to girls, he was not new to understanding and knowing a true relationship. A true friend, a true companion. Gohan pinched his eyes shut and tried to hold back the tears that represented guilt and deceit.
ChiChi, Sadi and Goten still sat in the living room, now watching a movie, a kids Christmas movie Goten insisted on seeing. Sadi, whom was sitting across from ChiChi leaned over and whispered.
"Where was it Gohan went?"
ChiChi looked over to Sadi, "oh, he and Videl went out to eat, he has been going out with her a lot you know-"
ChiChi kept going on and on, but Sadi stopped listening. She sat their in a gaze staring downward. She hadn't know where Gohan kept going off to, she thought he was working or shopping for his mom. But he wasn't, he was going off with Videl. Sadi felt tears well up in her eyes, she was not angry or disappointed, after all her and Gohan were just friends. But that wasn't what struck her, she knew from the beginning she couldn't have Gohan, what made this hard was the fact it was finally showing her, not telling her. She let a tear roll down her cheek. Gohan and Videl were mended to happen, after all, this is what she wanted at first, wasn't it?
The next morning was quite, Gohan sat in the kitchen reading a news magazine, ChiChi and Goten still in bed. As for Sadi, she was pacing the kitchen collecting her jacket and gloves, along with her purse, Gohan's eyes wondered from his reading, instead, he changed it to reading Sadi, which wasn't hard. She wasn't with large bold letters, along with a pictures, she was obviously anxious, and didn't feel comfortable being in the same room as him.
His eyes shifted right to left as she finally stopped, jacket on, along with gloves and scarf. She had her purse held up to her as she pulled out her wallet and slipped in her debit card and ID. Gohan couldn't help but ask.
"Where...are you going?"
Sadi turned to him, her eyes bright and her lips parted, she seemed to react oddly to his question and cautious voice.
"I..." she continued to slip the card in her wallet looking away, "I am going to go find a job. I heard of some new openings for child care in orange county. I thought I would go cheek it out."
Gohan paused, "so you plan to go out with you plan?"
Sadi looked back at him, the same expression, "I hope to. I cant get far yet, I haven't finished school. I will need to get to collage right away," she added slipping two hundred dollar bills in her purse.
This caught Gohan again, something that got the best of him, curiosity.
"The money? What's it for?"
Sadi paused immediately while clipping up her wool purse, "....its....its for my brother."
"Your brother?" Gohan asked in amazement.
Sadi quickly went to the door, explaining hastily, "I don't believe he has gotten a job, he needs money. I am his sister, I need to support him no matter what. I'll be back, please ChiChi not to wait on me."
And with that the door closed behind her, not leaving Gohan to speak. Gohan wanted to protest of her giving her brother money, but him and Sadi's relationship had drifted so far apart, he didn't feel he had the right anymore to do so.
Sighing he began to keep on reading.
Sadi walked the snowy streets, the sidewalks had not yet been cleared due to the early conditions and nightly blankets of the white powder. Her arms were hugged around her tightly as she trailed through the rather empty streets, it was still rather dark, due to the think clouded sly and falling snow, people passed her here and then, on their way to work.
Eventually she came to her old home, it remained the same from the outside, it had been three months ago, long ago it felt. Slowly coming to the door that lied between two giant buildings she looked the door and surroundings over. Lying her hand upon the door handle she turned it, typically it was unlocked. Opening the door wider she stepped in, she felt her heart skip a beat and her eyes widen, the place was completely empty, not a piece of furniture was there, not a picture on the wall. Stepping farther in, Said loosened up her scarf as she circled about in horror. The sound of her shoes taping against the hard floor, echoing into the brick high walls.
What could have happened?
Where was everything?
Where was Kice? "Can I help you ma'am?"
Came a deep voice.
Sadi quickly turned around and looked up at the upstairs hallway banister, a large black man in blue jumpsuit and broom stood there. Sadi tugged more at her scarf, she then managed to ask through astonishment and worry.
"Ye-yes, I.... I would like to know about what happened to the boy whom was living here before? The young man that once lived here ....do you know what happened?"
The black man shook his head and a look of grief passed over him, "it's a damn shame. It seems the boy was out with some hoodlums friends of his, they say he owed em some money, the boy said no, so they shot him, once in the stomach and another in the shoulder," his voice began to trail off more, "yes, yes. Damn shame alright, aint no right taken his life, no sir ree."
Sadi felt as if why legs were shoved from beneath her, and yet she didn't have the strength to fall upon the floor. Tears began to fall from her cheeks as her eyes dazed. Her brother. Dead? It just couldn't be.
"This place is now up for sale, all the furniture has been removed and taken to the shelters. I'm here to get it ready to sell again. Though, the boy whom was murdered was supposed to have a sister, they aint seen who doe."
Sadi's breathe was quivering as tears continued to fall rapidly, he hand was pressed against her chest. She wanted to run away. The thought of her brothers murder crushed her. As cruel as he was to her, he didn't deserve death, all he needed was a hand to guide him from the dark.
"Ma'am, if you knew this boy, I do send you my regrets."
Sadi slowly began to pull away, "thank you sir," she whispered, and began to stroll away. Reaching outside, she closed the heavy metal door that once was her home behind her, sliding down to her knees with her back to it she began to sob. Her cries muffled from the steady falling snow, and from her gloves. There she cried and cried, regretting all of her being.
