"If only I could read your mind"

Chapter 7: Confessions

"...." = speaking

*....* = thoughts

So I walk towards him and sit on the swing next to his. "Hi" I say to him. He looks up. "Hi" he says back.

He looked at the ground again. There was an awkward moment of silence. "Eh...We need to talk" I said, breaking the silence. He was still looking at the ground and said nothing. "How come we only talk when you want to?" he suddenly asked me. "What do you mean?" I asked him a little confused. "When we bumped into each other, I wanted to talk to you, but you just didn't have the time and that happened twice!" he said a little angry. *Wow, where did that come from?* I thought, totally taken back.

May 11th

..."Hi" I said uncomfortably. "Hi" he said. I could hear in his voice that he was nervous. "Eh...I..I..." he began. "Trunks, look I know it's a little awkward now between us, but I still want to be friends if you want to..." I said not looking at him. "Of course I want to be friends with you, why did you think I wouldn't?" he asked me. "Eh... I don't know. But I really have to go now. So talk to you later. Bye!" I said quickly and flew away. "Wait Pan, I have to tell you something!" I heard Trunks yell but I really didn't have the time to talk to him....

May 12th

...Outside I ran into Trunks again. "Eh sorry, I really have to go now" I said quickly. I was really confused at the moment because of what Bra said, so I didn't want to talk to Trunks now. "Wait, I have to tell you something." he said, sounding nervous. "Can you tell me another time? I really have to go." I said. "Why don't you have the time to talk to me anymore? You're usually always spending time with me. I haven't seen you lately, why is that?" He asked. *Because I told you I love you and you told me you didn't love me back. It's too awkward.* I thought. "Eh... I just have been busy with school and stuff lately. That's all" I said trying to be convincing. "Oh..." was the only thing he said. "But I have to go. Bye!" I said and quickly flew away. "Wait Pan!!" he yelled. But I didn't listen to him, I just couldn't concentrate at the moment. I would talk to him later...

~~~End Flashback~~~

*I totally forgot about that!* I thought. "I...I'm sorry" I said, looking at the ground "I...I..." "You only thought about yourself!" he said getting angrier. *I wonder why he is so angry with me* "I...I...I'm sorry, please...forgive me..." I said, feeling guilty.

There was the awkward silence again.

He looked at the ground. "I...I'm sorry, I didn't know what came over me" he said, not angry anymore. I looked at him and gave a weak smile. "Eh...that's ok" I said. *Is he having mood swings or something like that???*

He looked at me. I saw the pain in his eyes again, that caused my heart to ache. *Did I really hurt him this much?* I asked myself. *Does he really love me???* I have to ask him, so I gathered all my courage. "T...Trunks...d...do..." I looked at the ground. *Why is this so hard?* I thought. My heart began to beat faster by the second. "...do y...you love me?" I finally asked him, letting myself breathe normal again.

The awkward silence returned once again. "Yes,...I do" he said almost whispering. I was a little shocked hearing this, but somewhere in my heart, I knew he did. "Then...why didn't you tell me that on the night I told you?" I asked him, already having a slight idea why.

~~~Flashback~~~

April 22nd

"Hi Pan, what are you doing here?" Bra asked. "I just had to talk to someone" I said a little sad, remembering the event that happened last night. "So what is it? "Goten asked. I sat down on the couch next to Bra. And I began to tell what happened last night. "Last night I told Trunks that I loved him and...and..." I could feel the tears coming back again. I took a deep breathe. "And he said he loved me t..." "That's good" Bra said happy. "But only as a friend" I tried not to listen to Bra and finished my sentence. "Oh...I thought he liked you more than a friend" Goten said confused. "Why did you think that??" I then said feeling really sad and a little upset at Goten. "Well...he once asked me how I would feel if you and he were a couple." Goten said not to get me more upset than I already was. "And what did you say?" Bra asked him because I couldn't get a word out of my mouth. "Then I said..." Goten continued. "Oh No!!" Goten yelled and ran to the bathroom and closed the door.

Bra and I looked very confused and ran after him to find out what just happened. "Goten, are you ok?" Bra asked concerned. "Yeah, I'm fine. I only ran to the bathroom because I don't want Pan to hurt me!" Goten replied. "Why do I want to hurt you?" I asked him. Then it hit me. "GOTEN, WHAT DID YOU SAY TO TRUNKS???" "Ehh..." Goten started "I told him...that...eh...I would kill him...if he ever hurts you...and I told him...that nobody would approve...if you two would go out and...especially Gohan...he would have killed him"

~~~End Flashback~~~

"I...tried...but I was afraid our families would disapprove our relationship and Gohan would have definitely killed me" he said. I could hear in his voice that he was sad. "But after days of thinking, I found out that I really loved you and that it didn't matter what our families would think of us. That's what I wanted to tell you, but you didn't want to talk to me and I can understand why. You were hurt because of me; I could see it in your eyes." He let out a sigh.

"And...now you're with Mirai Trunks..." he said and looked up at the sky. I really felt sad. *He really does love me* I thought. "I...I..." I said. "I have to accept that..." he went on and looked at the ground again "And live on with my life......I hope your happy with him, I really do... But you have to know one thing, that I love you...I always have and I always will" he said and then he stood up and walked away, leaving me behind, thinking about what he just said...
