"..." = talking

*...* = thinking

Chapter 9: Why did you leave my life?

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...*

I'm lying in my bed right now, writing this. It's 2 am and I still can't sleep. I have to figure out whom I love more, Mirai Trunks or Trunks? However, everyone (except for Goten and Bra, of course) thinks I like Mirai Trunks more and not Trunks... And what did Vegeta wanted to tell me?? Does he think I should have chosen Trunks? I didn't really chose one person yet... Oh...this is all too confusing... I'm going to try to get some sleep now.

~May 22nd~

I didn't sleep well last night. I tried, but I just couldn't stop thinking of him. I even dreamt that I sat on that swing again and I was reliving the whole conversation. Everything felt so real! I saw the pain in his eyes again and kept hearing those words... I didn't know that a few words would mean so much...

I don't know what to do! *Why can't I stop thinking of him?* I asked myself for the hundredth time.

I look down at the necklace I'm wearing. It's the one Trunks gave me for my birthday. I have worn it every day since he gave it to me. Even after the night, he told me he didn't love me...

Argg..I'm driving myself crazy! I have to stop thinking about all of this. I'm with Mirai Trunks now. He loves me! I should be happy and not confused the whole time...

~May 24th~

I was sleeping when my phone rang. "Hello?" I said yawning into the phone, half-sleeping.

"Hey, it's Mirai Trunks" he said.

"Why are you calling this early?" I asked him, a little annoyed, for calling this early.

"Well, I have something to tell you" he said in a happy tone.

"Well, what is it then?" I asked him.

"You know my mother gave me a job at Capsule corp., right?" he said.

"Yes, I knew that! You didn't call me just to say that, did you?" I asked, still a little annoyed.

"No, of course not!" he said, "I have the go on a business trip next week, to Paris for one week and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me"

"One week to Paris?!" I said surprised *hmm...that doesn't sound bad. Maybe it will help me to clear my mind and maybe forget Trunks...* I thought. "Ok, I'll go with you" I said, already looking forward to the trip, because I have never been to Paris.

"That's great! I'll go ask my mother for another ticket. Bye, see you soon!" he said all happy.

"Ok, bye!" I said and I hung up the phone.

I was still tired so I went back to sleep...

~May 26th~

I went to Capsule corp. today to ask Mirai Trunks more details about the trip.

When I arrived there, I walked to the backdoor (which is always open, if somebody is home, of course) I walked into the house. I saw nobody, but I heard the tv was on, so I went to the living room.

There I saw Trunks sitting on the couch. (I knew it was Trunks, because he has a little shorter hair than Mirai Trunks)

"Eh...Hi" I said, trying to get his attention.

He turned his head, until he saw me standing. "Eh...Hi" he said back.

"Hmm...do you know where Mirai Trunks is?" I asked him, but already regretted it.

"Of course, you're here to see him" he said to him self, but I could hear him. "You know ever since you two are together, you don't have time to hang with me anymore. We used to spend every day together. It's like you disappeared from my life. You just left it behind you" he said, sounding a little angry.

I walked towards him and sat down next to him on the couch. "I didn't know you felt this way" I said, feeling guilty for not spending time with him anymore.

"Well, I know nothing is going to happen between us, but I still miss you as my friend. We have been best friends for as long as I can remember. Of course I would miss you!" he said. I looked at the ground, not knowing what to say to him.

"Do you really love him?" he suddenly asked me.

I looked up at him. I didn't know what to say. "Eh..." I began. *Maybe I should tell him the truth* I thought to myself *It couldn't get any worse than it already is* I thought to myself. "To be honest..." I said. I looked at the ground again. I just couldn't look him in the eye. "I don't know who I love more..." I admitted.

I looked at him and saw his face lit up a little. I saw hope in his eyes. "Then why are you with him?" he asked me. I didn't even know the answer myself. I sighed. "I don't know" I said.

He said nothing; there was the awkward silence between us again. We never had one of those silences before I told him I loved him.

"Don't go to Paris with him" he said, almost sounding desperate.

I looked at him a little confused. "Why not? It's only for one week." I said, wondering why he would ask me that.

"Because..." he said and looked at the ground again. "I want you to stay here...with me"

"Oh Trunks..."I said. *Maybe I shouldn't go* I thought to myself.

He looked at me and our eyes met again. His head came closer to mine. I could almost feel him breathing on my lips. "Please..." he said, before leaning closer and then he kissed me...

A/N: Another cliffhanger! What's going to happen next??? Will Pan go to Paris with Mirai Trunks after this happened or will she stay with Trunks???

So what do you think? Please review!!!!!
