Chapter 2: Prepping for a Heartbreak
Bra had decided not to tell Goten that she was dropping by. She was on her way to the Sons' house in her hover car prepping herself for any outcome. Maybe he won't even be home, Bra thought, so I'm doing all this worrying for nothing! But if he rejects you, Bra don't cry in front of him, her mind screamed! We don't want pity love. Bra noticed that she was already at the Sons' house so she parked the hover car and got out. Her feet absently followed the walkway up to the door when she faltered. Bra stepped on to the porch and raised her hand to knock when the door opened. It revealed a stunning Goten, in cords and a white t-shirt. His black hair tousled on his head, falling into his eyes. His onyx eyes shining with happiness, as if he was genuinely happy to see her. This man took her breath away.
"Oh, hey B, Pan's not here" Goten said.
Bra looked down nervously. It's now or never. Bra took a breath and said "... I'm not here for Pan, I was actually here to speak to you, Goten."
Goten stepped back into the house and held the door open for Bra. He motioned for her to come in. She followed him into the warm and cozy environment of the Sons. This house is so different from ours, you can feel the love and happiness pulsing through it, Bra thought. Someday that love and happiness will be mine. Goten brought her out of her little daydream.
"So what's up B-chan?" Goten asked while casually taking a seat on the couch. Bra next to him, fiddling with the hem of her cotton dress. Her heart was pounding so hard she was sure everyone could hear it.
"Well, Goten, if I'm going to be able to say what I want to say I need you to stop calling me B-chan. Sometimes I feel as if I'm a child when I talk to you." She said. Fool!! You want him to love you and you reprimand him about a silly nickname!! Goten adjusted his seating because he could tell this topic would be serious. He looked concerned. Him being concerned was one of the last things Bra wanted Goten to feel for her right now. Dummy, he's probably concerned for your mental health!
"It's just a nickname, B-..Bra." Goten said somewhat quietly or maybe Bra's thoughts just got louder. Bra knew she had to break the tension so she flashed a fake smile.
"I know," Bra smiled, "just a pet peeve of mine. I mean I am 20 years old, somewhat old for B-chan, right?" Goten's face broke out into a relieved grin. "Oh I don't know about that." he chuckled. "So, that was a distraction. What did you really wanna talk about?" Goten looked into her eyes. Could he see the love there for him? Could he see how much she wanted him for her own? Could he hear her heart beating just to be closer to him? Could he feel just how much she wanted him to return her feelings?
"Well what I wanted to say is kind of hard for me to say..." she paused waiting hopefully for encouragement from him.
"Is this about my b.o. because I already got that memo." he said jokingly. Bra smiled.
"No. I just wanted to talk about..." Bra was interrupted by the phone ringing. Goten got up to answer it.
"Hold that thought." he said as he went to the living room hallway where the phone was hanging. Goten's back was turned to her as he answered the phone. Bra heard him distantly say hello before her mind started going to her problems. How exactly would Bra word her love for him? Hey Goten, just wanted to tell you that I love you more than the sun and the moon? How corny was that, she snorted out loud. Or maybe she should just say love you, gotta run! Bra smiled, pleased with herself that she could at least make some light out of her situation. Which wasn't really a situation at all if one thought about it. She loved Goten that was it, take it or leave it, that was really all there was to it. She could use that to...instantly her mind snapped back to reality when she heard the words "Love you too Marron, see you soon".
Bra's head swam, her mind stumbled to make sense of this. Marron was at boarding school! She couldn't...Marron was here! Marron! The blonde monster that would make a grown woman like herself cry. Bra didn't know what to do, she was glued to her seat. Now what would she say? Her supposed soul mate was in love with someone else! Tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. Bra's heart could not handle this. Bra wouldn't get a fair chance, she'd get nothing but rejection, not even consideration. She couldn't tell him, Marron had just...she just couldn't.
"Alright," Goten said, walking back into the living room, "where were we?"
"I...I have to go." Bra said walking away from the love of her life with her head down. She wouldn't even bother to fight for him.
