"If only I could read your mind"
Chapter 8, Everything happens for a reason.
"..." = talking
*...* = thinking
"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 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...
I just sat there on the swing, looking at the empty swing next to me. *What am I going to do now?* I thought and put my head in my hands.
After a while I looked up and saw that Trunks had joined Bra, Mirai Trunks and Vegeta playing cards. I looked at them for a moment and saw Mirai Trunks looking at me. He smiled and I tried to smile back. He said something to them and stood up.
He walked towards me. "Hi" he said and sat down on the swing, where Trunks sat just one moment ago.
"Hi" I said to him.
"So...where were you and Trunks talking about?" he then asked me.
"Eh..." I looked at the ground and tried to think of something. *I can't tell him the truth! At least, not yet...* I said to myself. "Oh...nothing important. Just about all sorts of things" I said, hoping he would believe it.
"Oh ok" he said and looked to where the others were sitting. "We need to talk" he then said.
I was a little shocked about what he just said. *Did he know?* I thought. *No, he couldn't.* I tried to calm myself. "About what?" I asked him, a little nervous and started to swing on the swing a little.
"Well, I was thinking...maybe we should tell our parents about us" he said.
*Ow that!* "Eh...yeah maybe we should tell them" I said quickly and stopped swinging "But I don't know if they will approve, especially my dad"
"Yeah, you're right, but they will find out someday..." he said and looked me in the eye "And both families are here right now. I think this is an good opportunity to tell them"
"Maybe it is" I said, in my head I wasn't paying much attention to him, because I couldn't stop thinking of Trunks. *But maybe this will help me forget about him* I thought to myself.
"Ok let's go then" he said quickly. Before I could say something to him, he took my hand and started walking to where everyone else sat.
"Wait here" he said to me, when we were standing next to the blanket where my parents and Bulma were sitting. He walked towards Bra, Trunks and Vegeta and said something to them. I couldn't hear what he was saying. They stopped playing cards and stood up and followed Mirai Trunks. I saw Trunks looking at me with an confused expression on his face. I wondered why he looked confused. *Maybe because of what Mirai Trunks said* I said to myself. Mirai Trunks stopped next to me and took my hand in his.
"Well..." he started and then looked at me and smiled "Pan and I have something to tell you, guys" he said and I started to get a little nervous. *I hope my dad doesn't kill him* I thought.
"You two are going out, aren't you?" Bulma said in a happy tone.
"That's ridiculious!! Why would you think that?!" My dad started to yell at Bulma.
"Well...,eh...because it's true" Mirai Trunks said, a little sacred of what my dad would do to him.
"WHAT!!!" my dad yelled and turned to Mirai Trunks. He ran to him, grabbed him by his collar and lifted him up in the air. "IF YOU..." he began.
"DAD!! Put him down!!" I yelled at my dad.
"I thought you liked Trunks" my mother suddenly said, before my dad could do anything.
I looked st my mother and forgot my dad was still holdingn Mirai Trunks. *WHAT! How did she know!!* I thought and started to panic a little. "Eh..." I said. I looked at Trunks. He was looking back. His eyes were burned into mine. I saw, that he was hoping, I would say, I still liked him. Then I looked at Mirai Trunks, my dad was still holding him in the air, but I could see he was looking at me. He looked a bit uncertain of what my answer would be. I looked around me and saw that everyone was looking at me, waiting for me to give an answer. "Eh...why would you think that?" I said, a little nervous.
Everyone then looked at my mother, waiting for her to say something. "Oh...never mind then. It just slipped out of my mouth" my mother said quickly.
I was relieved that my mother didn't ask more about that. I saw from the corner of my eyes that Trunks was sad. He was looking at the ground. My heart sank. Somehow, I could feel the pain he was feeling. *Why do I have the feeling that I have betrayed him?* I asked myself, but couldn't think of an answer.
"Eh...a little help, please" Mirai Trunks said to me and I came out of my thoughts. I looked at him. I forgot my dad was still holding him. "DAD! Please put him down!" I tried again and gave him a puppy face. "Argg...fine! But if you ever hurt my daughter in any way, I WILL kill you!!" he treatened Mirai Trunks and slowly put him down. He looked a little scared. "Are you ok?" I asked him, hoping my dad didn't hurt him.
"Yeah, I'm fine" he said, rubbing his neck.
"Aw...you two make such a lovely couple!" Bulma said. "So when are you planning to find a girlfriend, Trunks? she asked him.
When she asked him that question, my heart ached. *Why did she have to ask him that question?" I thought.
Trunks was still looking at the ground and said nothing. Bulma waited for his answer, but he said nothing. She looked a little confused, but after a while when he still said nothing, she just ignored him.
Vegeta was just sitting there with his arms crossed. He wasn't looking at us. He was looking at Trunks. As if he knew what was going on between us. I looked at Vegeta. He looked from Trunks to me. He shook his head, as if telling me, I made a mistake... That I shouldn't be with Mirai Trunks. *What if I have made a mistake?* I thought.
"Well, it's getting late. We should go home" my mother said. Everyone stood up and began to pack the leftovers of the food.
Bra walked towards me. "Hey Pan, have you seen Goten today? He didn't show up" she asked me with a little concern in her voice.
"No, I haven't seen him today" I said to her.
"Ok thanks, I'll go call him. Maybe he forgot it, you know how he is" she said and walked away towards the Capsule corp. car where Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks were standing.
"Well, I guess I have to go too" Mirai Trunks said to me and gave me a kiss. "Bye" he said and also walked towards the car. "Bye!" I yelled to him, before he stepped into the car. I watched them drive away and walked to my parents, who were already sitting in the car waiting for me.
On the way home, I didn't say much, because Trunks was in my head again. I couldn't stop thinking about what he said to me on the swing and I kept hearing those words. *...I love you...I always have and I always will...*
