Devotions Chapter 4

by:Sarah

Okay, here's the forth chapter of "Devotion"! I'm probably going to make this the last chapter of this story, so, ENJOY!!!

The heavy boots came closer and closer with each thundering step in the quiet Son house.

"Pan, are you in there?" asked a masculine voice. It was so gentle and sounded so sweet.

"Do I really have to talk to you, Trunks?" asked Pan with her back to the door, sitting on the floor against it.

"Please, Pan. I really want to talk to you about what happened," whispered Trunks from the other side of the oak door.

Pan slowly stood up and barely opened the door enough to see his tear-stung face.

"Listen, Pan- I wanted to tell you more than anything that I was with Marron... but then you went to Namek for three whole months." he took a sharp breath and continued, "The day after you left, Marrron told me that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to tell you I was going out with her. So, reluctantly, I listened to her. That's why I made up a lie that I had a business meeting to go to the day you came to see me after your trip; I was on my way to go see Marron... Please forgive me Pan... You're my best friend,"

Pan paused for a second and thought about what he told her... about his fake business meeting, not telling her about him and Marron.

"What else have you lied about?" whispered Pan in a very low voice.

"What?"

"WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU BEEN LYING TO ME ABOUT?" yelled Pan now at the top of her lungs.

"Nothing, Pan, I swear..." said Trunks, more tears falling down his face.

Pan said nothing, but went up to Trunks and hugged him, crying deeply into his Capsule Corp. jacket.

"Umm... I got your present Pan-Chan! I loved it!"

Pan remembered throwing her present to him on her way down the stairs. She had almost forgotten she did that.

"Y-you dd-did?" asked Pan still crying.

"Of course I did, Pan! That was the cutest bear ever, and the card was so sweet..." he said, wrapping his arms around her petite body.

Pan looked up at Trunks, almost not able to see him through her tears.

He leaned closed and kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you Pan-Chan, you're like my little sister. I can always count on you!"

"I-I love you too Trunks! I always have..." said Pan, a little hurt that she was only like a sister to him.

"What do you mean, Pan?" asked Trunks, confused about what she had just said.

"I have always cared for you, Trunks! Even since we were little I have..."

"Wow, Pan. How come you never told me this before?"

"I was scared Trunks. I was scared that you would turn me down and that I'd be hurt. You understand what I mean, right?" asked Pan, feeling like a small child for telling Trunks this.

"Oh, Pan. I wish you would have told me this before I got together with Marron... To tell you the truth Pan, I was planning on breaking up with her soon. Can you believe that she wanted me to stop talking to you and visting?!"

"Well! She doesn't deserve you anyways! She sush a little bi-"

"PAN! Ha ha ha!"

"Well, sorry, but it's true!" said Pan with a smug look on her face.

Trunks laughed again and ran his hand through Pan's thick black hair. It was silky and reached just below her chest.

Just then, no other than Marron herself, walked into the house and started at Pan and Trunks.

"Trunks...What's going on? And why are you here with her?" asked Marron pointing directly to Pan.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I made your sister tell me. Now why are you here?"

"Umm... Mar, I think we should break up." said Trunks in a somewhat nerevous voice.

"WHAT?!" yelled Marron with her temper rising extremly fast.

"Well you didn't want me to hang out with Pan at all and I just can't do that Mar. She's my best friend." replied Trunks, gaining confidence as he spoke.

"B-but but-"

"Sorry, Marron. I want to be with Pan now."

"I can't believe you would actually chose that brat over me!" Yelled Marron. She gave an evil look to Pan and then stormed out the door; breaking a vase as she slammed it.

"Thanks, Trunks..."

"No problem, Pan."

"Hey, Trunks?"

"Yeah?"

"Happy Birthday."
