Chapter 1
"I've lied / to you the same way that I always do. This is / the last smile that I'll fake for the sake of being with you.
"Everything falls apart. Even the people who never frown / eventually break down. The sacrifice of hiding in a lie. Everything has to end. You'll soon find / we're out of time left to watch it all unwind."
'Why do you do this to me Trunks-kun?' Pan thought bitterly as she stared out her bedroom window at the night sky. Her eyes filled with tears as she reflected on what she had just witnessed.
*flashback*
Pan, left alone once again on a Friday night, called her faithful and most trusted friend, Bra, to see what was going down. "What's crackalackin?!" Bra playfully shouted into the phone after checking the caller ID. "Nothing," Pan said glumly, "I'm just so bored. What are you up to tonight? I'd rather not be alone just now."
Bra, sensing what was up, sighed angrily at her brother's insensitive nature. "What did Trunks do now? Is he out with that hussy again?! I'll beat both their asses into the ground!" Her angry outburst was answered only by a silence that assured her that she had hit the nail on the head.
Pan still wasn't sure that Trunks was cheating on her, but her suspicions were getting the best of her. She had been moping in her room for days when Videl finally told her to get out of the house and do something.
"Let's go to the mall. That always cheers you up!" Bra said. "Get ready." A resounding click was all Pan heard. She didn't feel like shopping, not in the least, but Bra was probably already out the door heading for her convertible.
Pan pulled herself out of her bed, dragging over to her closet. 'I might as well make the best of this.' She thought pulling out one of her best outfits. She changed warily into the tight fitting, low cut, red dress that her father hated so much. She pulled at her shoulder-length ebony hair until it was smooth and shiny. "I'm outta here." Pan called to no one in particular as she walked out the front door. "Hold on, not in that you're not!" Gohan called after her, "Who do you think you are?" Pan rolled her eyes, not bothering to look back. "Later Tousan, I'll be fine. You don't have to worry about Trunks. I'm going shopping with Bra."
Gohan sighed heavily turning to Videl. "It's not Trunks I'm worried about. It's everybody else."
Pan and Bra entered the mall with an air of confidence, the two beauties attracting the eyes of every male in the vicinity. Bra wore a dress similar to Pan's except for the fact that it was black. Her long blue hair was tied up with a black ribbon.
They shopped until they were hungry and exhausted. "Food court?" Bra suggested. "And you know this girl!" Pan answered cheerily. Bra knew her so well. Shopping was exactly what she needed.
Bra was gossiping wildly as they strolled into the food court, only stopping to catch a breath when Pan stopped dead in her tracks.
"Did I miss something?" Bra asked, anxiously looking at her friend whose dark eyes were wide in shock and were starting to fill with tears. All Pan could do was point.
Bra followed Pan's gaze and her eyes fell on her brother. Trunks was standing in the center of the food court with a group of friends. As she watched, Bra saw him stand, his arm wrapped around one girl's waist turning her towards him, bring his lips to hers and lock her into a long, deep kiss.
"Oh, Pan, I'm so sorry." Bra glanced back at her friend who was now in tears. "I'll take you home." Pan nodded mutedly at her friend, turned on heel and headed toward the car.
*end flashback*
Pan was jolted back into the present by a knock on the door. Videl peeked in at her daughter. "Pan, sweetie, are you okay?"
"Kasan, why doesn't he care about me?" Pan turned to look into her mother's loving face. "Why would he cheat on me? Is there something wrong with me? Am I ugly, or stupid, or. or." Pan broke off into tears and Videl, shocked, slid onto the bed next to her wrapping her in a tight embrace.
"Oh, Pan, you are beautiful. You are my perfect angel. If Trunks can't see that, he doesn't deserve to lick the bottom of your shoe, let alone have the privilege of being your boyfriend. I thought you two were happy, though, you made it seem like everything was perfect." Videl then kissed Pan's forehead and headed toward the door. "I know I can't help you right now, just know that you deserve so much more."
'Oh yeah, everything was so perfect.' Pan thought sarcastically. 'Everything's been falling apart for a while. I guess I just pasted on a smile, even denying to Trunks and myself that anything was wrong with our relationship. This is the last time, I'm not pretending anymore. It's over.'
"The sacrifice is never knowing why I never walked away, why I played my self this way, now I see / your testing me pushes me away.
"The sacrifice is never knowing why I never walked away, why I played my self this way, now I see / your testing me pushes me away."
