Betrayal
August 14, 2003, Friday
Pan's body jerked awake for some odd reason. She rubbed her eyes and parted her lips taking a deep breath which made her cringe in pain as she opened the split in her lip.
"Ow!" She moaned putting her hand over it. She tried to sit up, but couldn't. There was an aments amount of weight keeping her flat to the bed. She lifted her head to see what it was and found a tan muscular arm draped across her chest.
Pan let out a quiet shriek, flung the arm from her body, and threw the blankets from herself. She jumped off the bed landing on the floor for her legs didn't seem to want to work. She didn't know where she was and couldn't remember how she got there.
Pan looked around the room and pulled herself to her knees. She looked down at herself and immediately covered herself realizing she wasn't wearing anything. She became angry not being able to remember and glared in the direction of the man she was sleeping next to.
She peered over the bed at him. He was still sleeping which calmed her nerves a little, but she jumped when Trunks turned in his sleep. She fell back on her ass and grunted angrily. She stood up and leaned one knee on the bed trying to get a better look since he had turned. Pan was now left staring at his back which was also tan and muscular.
She pulled the hair that had fallen in her face back and kneeled on the bed with both knees. She placed her hands in front of her and leaned over all the way, so Trunks' face was in view again. Pan bit her bottom lip (which hurt) and started in astonishment. Who was his man she was laying in bed naked next to?
Pan looked towards the bedroom door and back at him. She put her hand on his cheek and ran it up through his hair softly making sure not to wake him. Her affectionate touch forced a purr out of him. Pan smiled shyly and leaned farther over. She wanted to kiss him, but wasn't sure why.
"Who are you?" She asked quietly kissing his lips softly. Trunks' eyes shot opening in surprise, but smiled lovingly when he remembered it was Pan.
Trunks put his arm on Pan's back and pulled her to him. He deepened the kiss forcing Pan's lips apart. She pulled back and cried out once the wetness of this lips hit the cut in her lip.
"Oh baby, I'm sorry. I forgot." Trunks said laying her back on the bed.
Pan grabbed the sheets and pulled them to herself as blood pored from her lip again. Trunks grabbed a wet cloth from the night before and held in tenderly to her lip. He slid under the sheets and wrapped his free arm around her waist.
Pan figured he was the man she was in love with since he was being gentle and loving with her, but she was still frightened and confused.
"How are you feeling after last night?" He asked placing hot kisses along her jaw bone.
"Uh," Pan thought hard for a moment. She didn't have a clue what happened last night! How was she supposed to answer him? "I'm…fine?" She answered looking into his eyes questionably.
"Good." He asked claiming her lips with his own.
Pan gasped and pushed him away. "What are you doing?"
Trunks raised his eye brows at her. "I'm kissing you. What does it look like?"
"I don't even know you." Pan snapped moving away from him.
"You don't know me? Oh course you do!" Trunks said being agitated.
"No I don't! The only thing I can remember is my name and waking up laying next to a naked man!" She shouted pulling at the sheets.
Trunks put his hand over his face and shook his head. "Pan, I'm all for games, but this isn't funny-" Trunks stopped and put his hand down. "You don't remember anything?" He asked.
Pan shook her head. "No."
"Not even my name?"
"No, who are you?" She asked.
Trunks turned away from her and slid to the end of the bed on the other side of the room. "Shit," He shouted pulling his boxers on. "I knew I should have taken you to the hospital last night instead of waiting!"
Pan found her dress and dropped the sheets. She pulled it over her head and walked to Trunks. "I'm upset that I can't remember either, but sitting here isn't going to get us anywhere."
"Fine, I'll take you to the hospital and call your parents."
"So, I do have parents, then?" Pan asked.
"Yeah."
"What does that make you?"
Trunks sighed. "I would be your boyfriend."
Pan let out a deep breath of relief. "Good, for awhile I though you were just some guy I was sleeping with."
Trunks laughed and shook his head. "Your not that kind of girl, but I guess you wouldn't remember that."
Pan half smiled. "Are…are we in love?" She asked blushing a little.
Trunks stood up and walked over to her. "Yeah, we're in love." He said putting his arms around her.
Pan hesitated, but up her arms around his neck. "Something's drawing me to you. It's weird, but it feels right for some reason."
"That's because no matter what happens we're meant to be together."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME LITTLE GIRL!?" Gohan shouted slamming Trunks into the Hospital wall.
"I haven't done anything." Trunks answered trying to keep his calm as best he could.
"BULLSHIT! If you haven't done anything then why is she cut and bruised!?" He yelled pointing at Pan who was now laying in a hospital bed with Videl at her side.
"She was attacked by a man on the street." Trunks said pushing Gohan off of him.
"Your lying! My daughter can handle any ordinary man on the streets! She's a Saiyan for Kami sake!"
"And she was also a very frightened 16 year old girl!" Trunks said raising his voice.
"If your telling the truth then what happened to the man who attacked her, smart ass?" Gohan asked crossing his arms.
"Well, he's about five rooms down from us. You can go and ask him, but I doubt he has the ability to speak any longer." Trunks said pushing past him next to Pan's bed side. Pan smiled and put her hand out for Trunks' which fueled Gohan's rage even more.
"Just what the hell was she doing at your apartment anyway? I thought she was with Bra?"
"She was with Bra. Bra was staying the night with, Goten, but since we're on the subject I might as well tell you."
"Tell me what?" Gohan snapped.
"Pan and I have been seeing each other for 3 month."
Gohan's face turned a bright red color. "YOU'VE WHAT!" Gohan shouted walking towards him. "I WILL HAVE NO MORE OF THIS!"
Videl suddenly stepped in front of him and knocked him back into a chair. "Videl!"
"Oh, shut up, Gohan!"
Gohan's jaw dropped to the floor in amazement. She had never disagreed with him before.
"I'm tired of you ragging on Pan dating Trunks!"
"Videl, he's 18!" Gohan shouted in his defense.
"Can it! Don't give me your stupid excuses! You don't want them dating because you think he's going to take your baby girl away! She's 16 years old, Gohan! She's not going anywhere for now!"
"After what he did your defending him?" Gohan asked getting out of his chair.
"That was years ago! Goten forgave him, why can't you?"
Gohan couldn't believe his own wife was agents him. She was supposed to be on his side. "This is just great!" Gohan shouted leaving the room.
Trunks signed and stood up to go and talk to him, but Pan pulled back on his hand. "Trunks wait. He looks really angry."
Trunks smiled and kissed her forehead. "I'll be alright. You just say here and try to get your memory back. They have good doctors here." He said letting go of her hand and fallowed Gohan into the next door.
"Gohan, I know you hate me, but nothing is going to keep me for being with your daughter. She's everything to me."
Gohan turned to him. "You better not break her heart!"
"I won't." Trunks promised.
"Don't ever let this happen again." Gohan ordered.
Trunks nodded his head and walked back into Pan's room.
"What happened?" Pan asked.
"Could you excuse us, Videl?"
"Of course, Trunks." Videl said leaving the room and want off to find Gohan. She could only imagine how mad he was at her.
"Well?" Pan asked.
"He's uh, excepting the fact that we're together…I think."
"That's good, isn't it?"
Trunks sat next to her bed again. "Yes, coming from your father its good."
"Is he always like that?"
"Yes." Trunks said truthfully. He wasn't going to lie to her.
"Oh, we must fight a lot."
"Sometimes, but you don't see him a lot anymore."
"Why?"
Trunks signed. "Because your mostly with me."
You don't control my life, do you?"
Trunks was starting to get annoyed with all her questions. "No, I don't control your life. We just spend a lot of time together because neither of us can stand being away from each other."
"Oh." Pan said looking down. She was angry and disappointed in herself.
"Knock-knock!" A man said standing in the doorway.
"Huh? Oh, come in doctor." Trunks said standing up.
"That's alright. You can sit."
Trunks sat back down and took hold of Pan's hand.
"It seems the cause of her memory loss is stress. I've never seen a cases like this before. Usually, people suffer from short term memory from stress related issues, but never the entire memory."
Trunks nodded his. "She has been under a great deal of stress, lately. Some of which I should have lessened on her."
"I've already spoke with her family about this, so I'm going to have to ask you to stay away from the hospital for a while. We need to work with her to get her memory back and can't have people in her life interrupting the process."
Pan grabbed on to Trunks' arm tight. "What is he talking about? Your not going to leave me, are you? You're the only one I feel safe with."
"I know, Pan, but we have to do what the doctors say."
"No! I want you to stay!" Pan said becoming angry.
Trunks pulled her into his arms and held her. "I promise I'll come and see you when I can, but you need to stay here, so you can get your memory back. The sooner you do that the sooner we can be together again."
Pan started to cry as Trunks left her room and the hospital.
"Now, Pan, don't cry. We're not going to hurt you. We're just here to help you get your life back." The doctor and leaving the room as well.
"I hate this place!" Pan screamed before crying herself to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few more months had passed and Pan hadn't seen Trunks once. She called, but he's never answer. The doctors had no effect on regaining her memory and she was refusing anymore of there memory sessions.
November 2, 2003, Sunday
"Stay away from me!" Pan shouted jumping on to her bed.
"Honey, please. We're trying to help you." Videl said trying to pull her back down on the bed.
"No! I'm not doing anything until I see Trunks!"
"You know he's busy, Pan! He's in college and has classes!"
"I don't care! I'm more important then any college class he has!" Pan shouted pulling away. When a doctor entered the door she pick up a glass cup and threw it at him. "I hate this place! I want to leave!"
"Mrs. Son, please. We can't keep her here anymore. She's destructive. We asked that you take her home and do home treatment. Nothing here seems to be helping."
Videl sighed. "Alright. Come on, Pan. We're going home."
Pan stopped jumping on the bed. "Home? Will Trunks be there?"
"Yes, we'll have him come over if you would just please start acting your aged!"
"Yeah, yeah." Pan jumped off the bed and dressed in what clothes Videl had brought her.
*****
Pan sat on the couch in the living room of her house watching TV. She curled herself into a ball and slowly fell asleep.
Gohan and Videl were in the kitchen discussing things.
"I don't know what do to anymore, Gohan. She's not getting any better." Videl said beginning to cry.
"I hate to say it, but maybe Trunks can help. He's all she cares about."
"I know, but he's so busy with college I'd hate to ask him."
"If he cares as much as he says he does, he'll have no problem with it. College or not." Gohan said handing the phone to her.
"I suppose." Videl said dialing Trunks' number.
Trunks was in the middle of Chemistry when his phone rang. The whole class turned and started at him.
"Would you like to answer your phone, so the rest of the class can get back to working Mr. Brief?"
"Sorry, Mr. Sponge. I don't know who would be calling me at his time," Trunks said answering his phone. "Hello?"
"Trunks?" Videl asked.
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry to bother you, but Pan's come home and she hasn't made any progress. Gohan and I don't think anyone, but you can help."
"You don't have to apologize. I'll be right over." Trunks hung up his phone and stood up.
"And just where do you think your going?" Mr. Sponge asked.
"Um, my grandmothers on fire and I need to put her out. Later!" Trunks said leaving the room as the class broke into laughter.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"Pan, honey, can you get that?" Videl asked.
Pan opened her eyes slowly and rolled off the couch. "I guess." She said opening the door.
Trunks automatically wrapped his arms around her. Pan screamed and jumping into his arms.
"Where have you been? You promised me you'd come and visit me sooner!" Pan and kissing him.
"I got held up in school." Trunks said closing the door and taking her to the couch.
"I guess that's another promise you've broken." Pan said putting her head down.
Trunks raised his eye brows at her. "You remember that?" He asked.
"I remember more then they think I do."
"Like what?"
"Well, half the time I don't even realize it. I'll do something in the was I used too and when I meet new people I automatically like or don't like them. For some reason I get an overwhelming urge to smash Marron's face."
Trunks laughed and shook his head. "Yeah, that sounds about right."
"Why? Something happen between us?" Pan asked.
"Kinda, you've hated her for the longest time because the both of you sure feelings for me."
"Oh, no! I'm not sharing anything with that bitch!" Pan said falling into his arms.
"Do you remember anything else?"
"I have dreams from when I was younger I'm guessing. I see you a lot."
"Really? From when we were kids?" He asked.
"No." Pan said beginning to blush.
"Oh, I see…" Trunks said with a smirk.
"I have something to show you." Pan said dragging him upstairs and pushed him on the bed.
Trunks looked around as Pan stood in front of him. "Pan, there's nothing in here. What did you wanna show me?"
Pan locked the door behind her. "This!" She said taking her shirt off and jumped on top of him.
*****
Videl handed Pan one of her old baby blankets. "Does this help you remember anything?"
"Pan sighed in annoyance. "No, sorry." She replied.
"I just don't get it. There has to be something we can do to jump start your memory. You're a Saiyan…I don't understand."
"It doesn't matter if I'm a Saiyan, mom. Grandpa lost his memory and still hasn't gotten it back."
Videl jumped out of her seat. "You remember! I never told you that!"
"Calm down. That's pretty much all I remember. Don't get that excited. My whole entire life is a blank to me. I don't ever remember what kind of person I was."
"You most certainly weren't a cranky one like you are now." Videl said pulling out another object from Pan's childhood.
"I would be too sure about that if I were you or have you forgot about all the trouble I get into at school?" Pan asked looking through a picture album.
"You remember that, too!" Videl shouted.
Pan plugged her ears. "Would you stop yelling! So, I remember so what! It's still not everything!"
"That's not the point, Pan! So, what if you only remember a little! It's still something."
"I won't care until I remember everything and when that happens I probably won't care then either because I'll be back to my normal self!"
"Well, whatever! Something in this room is making you remember, so look around!" Videl said dumping a box of baby things on the floor.
"Yay." Pan said unenthusiastically. "I'm going upstairs. Call me when you find something." Pan said walking up the stairs. She shut her door and laid on her bed. She took a picture of her and Trunks off her nightstand and looked at it.
"A blue dress? Dad told me I was a tomboy. Why would I be wearing a dress?" Pan stood up and opened her closet. "It has to be somewhere." She said throwing clothes about her room. "If I wasn't such a slob!"
She pulled the dress out of the bottom of her closet and put the dress on. She looked at herself in the mirror and twirled. "Nothing, she said putting her head down. "I was sure it would have told me something."
Pan sat on the corner of her bed and sighed. "There has to be something." She looked around her room which was covered in dolphin things. "Maybe that's it. I liked dolphins." Pan got up and walked over to her stuffed animals. She picked up one of the dolphins and read the tag.
'To Pan love Trunks.'
"Aww, he's so sweet!" Pan said holding it close to her chest. "Hmm, that's strange." Pan said going around the room finding all the dolphin things Trunks had given her.
"No, there's something missing! Something important." Pan said thinking hard. "Err, damn it! I know there's one thing he gave me that's not here!" Pan throw everything to the floor and fell back on her bed.
"Goddamn it! Why can't I remember anything!" She smacked herself hard in the face. "Err!"
"Hey, Pan! I found the necklace your father gave you on your 14th birthday!" Videl said from downstairs.
"Mom, I don't care about a stupid…necklace?" Pan jumped off her bed and landed on her ass. "HOLY SHIT!" she shouted flying down the stairs.
"Pan, what's wrong?" Videl asked.
"That's it! That damn necklace! It was there right in front of my face! The night I was at Trunks' I called you and told you I was staying the night at Bra's! Trunks gave me a crystal dolphin necklace before I started walking home! I was attacked and lost it!"
"How did you know what?" Videl asked becoming confused.
"I don't know! I just remember! I remember everything!" Pan said running to the door.
"Where are you going?" Videl asked in a worried tone.
"I've got to find that necklace!" Pan said leaving the house.
******
Pan landing in the park by the bushes where she had been attacked. "I know it was somewhere over here." She got down on her knees and started moving the dirt around. "Damn, its not here."
She turned and put her back agents the wall. "I was sure it would still be here unless that scum page got a hold was it when I was struggling."
Pan sighed and stood up. She dusted her pants off and glanced up at one of the bushes. Something shinny was handing from one of the tiny branches.
"No way! If that's it I'll piss myself!" Pan said grabbing it. Low and behold it was the necklace Trunks had given her. (Go figure, huh?)
Pan jumped into the air and shrieked with happiness. "Things can't get any better then this!" She said heading towards Trunks' apartment. "I've got my memory and Trunks!"
When Pan got to Trunks and Goten's apartment she didn't bother knocking. She wanted to surprise him, so she just walked in. She tie-toed to his room and slowly opened the door. The lights were off, but she could see a figure laying in his bed.
Pan flicked on the light. "Trunks!" She said as Trunks came into view, but he wasn't alone. There underneath Trunks was none other then Marron. Pan closed her eyes and started shaking.
"Pan!" Trunks said jumping off of Marron who pulled a sheet over her necked body.
Pan opened her eyes and squeezed the necklace in her hand. "I found your necklace."
Trunks pulled on a pare of boxers and stood in front of her. "I can explain, Pan."
"You can have it back!" She shouted throwing the necklace at time.
Marron got up and pulled her dress over her head. She quickly moved passed Trunks and smirked wildly at Pan. "I better go." She said leaving the room.
"Pan, listen I-"
"Shut the fuck up! You cheating, lying, son-of-a-bitch!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan has her memory back and has found Trunks cheat with…MARRON! Will she forgive him or will her whole world come crashing to the ground? Find out next chapter *Fallen Angel*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Err, I also hate his chapter! I've re-written it like 4 times and I don't like any of it!! I guess this just hasn't been my week for writing…I don't knew where the hell I was going with Pan losing her memory. I guess I couldn't think of any other way for them to tell Gohan. Anyway, sorry if this chapter stunk big time. It's another chapter I'm not very proud of, but please review…
