Author's note: Sorry, this is big time late cause I'm all caught up in
school stuff. School gets out may 28. Woot woot. A word to the wise, this
chapter will be lame, but it gets better after. I mean severely lame,
although no one reads these, so you won't know!! You love it, I know you
do!!

Chapter 6: The Wonders of a Broken Heart
Goten lay in the bed beside Marron. The supposed love of his life. After Bra's phenomenal kiss, he was doubting all the major decisions he'd made in his life. He regretted asking Marron to come here. And he thought he'd soon be regretting even getting involved with her in the first place. He regretted asking Bra to meet him in Babel Park. But most of all, he regretted turning her love away. Just because he loved Marron didn't mean that he had the right to debate Bra's feelings. They were hers, and now he'd never know the full extent of them. Sure there was the kiss, but he thought that maybe the kiss was just the tip of the iceberg. He wondered how she was holding up. Would she be angry that he rejected her or sad? Bra was mostly a mystery to him, something that now seemed off limits after everything that had happened. He never really used to give her much thought until she turned 17. She was beautiful and innocent and she would always turn heads if they ever went out. With Bra and every guy staring at him he'd feel this tug in his belly. Goten now knew it was jealousy. But it was mixed with something else too, and Goten feared that it might've been and might still be desire.
Marron stirred beside him, as if reminding him that he should be thinking of her. If he loved Marron so much, he should marry her. But he felt as if that would be a huge mistake. But he also didn't feel he could deal with the way Bra cast doubt in him. He leaned over to kiss Marron on the forehead and smiled, she was beautiful, a prize for any man. But Goten wasn't any man, and Marron wasn't that beautiful. He shook his head and snuggled up closer to Marron.
Bra rolled herself into a ball on her bed. She had put her precocious heart on the line today. Tears streamed down her face. She was glad she had forgone the makeup. But thinking about the reason why she did was even worse. I love him!! Why can he not see that, Bra thought fiercely. Her problems seemed too many to bear. Bra rolled onto her back. Everything, Bra thought, is wrong. The love of my life has rejected me! How would she face Goten? After what she had done and what she had told him. He'd laugh her out of his presence. She stared at the ceiling for a while, creating images in the wall. She tried to make many things of the wall, but it seemed all she came up with was Goten. Tears came anew to her face as she thought she saw Goten kissing and hugging Marron in her mind's eye.
Bra reached for her phone and held it in her hands for a while. She didn't want to bother Pan with her silly little problems. But she couldn't talk to her mom or Marron about like she used to. Bra sniffled. It seemed to her that her life was taking a toll for the worse, because she saw that wrongness could come down upon a person's life within a day. For Bra, that day was today. Bra's fingers traced the numbers she knew so well. She decided to dial Pan's number and waited for the phone to be picked up. But it wasn't, it just kept ringing and ringing and ringing. Bra sighed, oh yeah, she's with my brother.
"Trunks! I already told you no!" Pan giggled. Trunks' best hurt puppy look displayed upon his face.
"All I wanna do is play." he smirked.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Pan's guard was slipping. She was sure he knew. He began stroking the outside of her thighs, working his way in. Pan was almost lost, having a man this tempting caressing her so sexually. Then the phone rang. Pan lunged to grab it lest she admit defeat. Before she could reach the phone Trunks tackled her to the floor. They rolled and wrestled on the floor. Trunks smirking, Pan fuming with outrage tinged with pleasure.
"TRUNKS! It could be something important!" Pan said. Trunks leaned in to kiss her. A slow, deep, meaningful kiss that said something mere words could not conceive.
"What could be more important than this?" he asked huskily. Pan wondered that herself as she gave into temptation.
Bra got up from her bed. It was morning already. She had cried through most of the night but fell asleep at different intervals. Bra knew she must look horrible but walked into the kitchen without a care. Her father was in there, having his usual breakfast. Her mom was trying to eat what was left of her runny eggs and burnt toast. She smiled at them. She knew they had their little spats, but all couples do. But no matter what, they still loved each other and it was obvious that wasn't going to change anytime soon. Suddenly Bra's smile broke and her face crumpled into tears as she ran back to her room.
