chapter five
to the hospital i go
Then my Dad walked over and, wacked my mom outta the way and started to beat me again, this time I was just so sick and tired of it that I pushed him outta his position and flew to Goten's house again. Actually I started heading for Goten's house, but my Dad caught me. "Who else did you tell??" My Dad asked me with pure evil in his voice, "Goten," I said I didn't think when I said that cause right then I knew that I shoulda kept my mouth shut, he started heading for Goten's house, I knew that he was gonna make ground beef outta Goten. I flew as fast as I could trying to catch up with him. I got to Goten's house before him. "Goten," I yelled as loud as I could. The door to the house flung open showing Goten with a worried face. "My Dad's coming here! He found out that I told you about him beating me, he's gonna hurt you, you have to get outta here as fast as you..." I was cut off by my Dad's yelling, "Dammit he's here," Goten heard me say under my breath.
"What happened young man?" the nurse at the hospital was questioning me and Goten. I had had to beg and plead to have them put me and Goten in the same room. "My...Dad..." that was all I managed to choke out before bursting into tears. "It's ok sir, we'll leave you two alone for now." the nurse said politely before leaving me and Goten alone. "Hey Chibi?" I asked Goten who had finally woken up after a long time of being knocked out. "Yeah Trunks?" He asked back. "Do you blame me for this?" I asked in a worried matter. "No, your father is the only one to blame for this." He said quietly. "Your parents aren't gonna call the cops on him afre they?" I again asked in a worried voice. "Idon't think so, but if the hospital finds out, they might," He answered also with a worried voice. "Oh no," I said under my breath. "Don't worry though," Goten began. "He can't go to jail unless me and my parents press charges, which we ARE NOT gonna do, we wouldn't do that to you, Bulla, and your Mom." He said finally. "Thank you Chibi" I said quietly.
"Goten Trunks are you two ok???" My mom was hysterical when she got here to visit us. "Mom we're fine, just a few bruises" I said quietly but loud enough for her to hear. Then I saw my father, hiding wait a minute HIDING???? anyway hiding behind my mom, "Dad," I said quietly as my Dad came out from behind my Mom. I had been talking quietly lately so that people knew that I wasn't in the talking mood. My Dad walked over to me, and he did something he hadn't done since I was eight, he hugged me. "I'm so sorry Trunks," My Dad kept reapeting that sentence to me over and over. "It's ok Dad," I said after he had reapeted his sentence twenty-thousand times. "I love you Dad," I said after a long pause. "But yesterday you said that you hated me," He said quietly, "I didn't mean it Dad, I was just upset. I never wanted to hurt your feelings," I said. "Hey Vegeta," Goten was calling to my Dad. "What is it G3?" My Dad was saying back to my Chibi. G3 was my Dad's nickname for Goten cause he's the third person in his family to have a name that started with the letter G. "Vegeta, I don't blam you for what you did and I'm not mad at you either, you'll always be my friend," Goten said after a pause. "I'm glad your not mad G3 and..." My Dad couldn't finish he was cut off by Chi-Chi's loud voice. "Well he may not be mad but we sure as hell are!" Chi-Chi walked in the room with Goku hanging behind her. Goku wasn't mad but he knew better than to defy her. "Are you ready to go to jail Vegeta?" Chi-Chi continued. "No Mom!" I heard Goten yell at the top of his lungs. "WE ARE NOT GONNA DO THAT!" he continued. "Goten how dare you think that you can make this decision!" Chi-Chi asked totally pissed "I can make this decision Mom!!! It's about me!!! It's my choice!!!! I decide if we press charges against Vegeta or not and I'm saying no!!" Goten screamed at his mother. I had never seen my Chibi so mad. "Fine Goten you can decide but if he hurts you again your the one who has to make all the plans!" "Fine" "Bye, Goku come on!" "Bye son I'll see you later" Goku said quietly. "Whoa" was I'll I could manage to say. "Thank you Goten," I heard my father say under his breath. "Vege-chan I think we should get going too, I left my mother with Bulla and who knows what damage will be done when we get back, bye Trunks," My mother said in one breath. "Bye mom and dad," I said quietly.
"Hey Chibi," I said to Goten quietly. "Huh?" He said a little dazed he even couldn't believe what he had said to is mother earlier, "After we're all healed and we get outta here, do you wanna come back over to my house and have a real sleepover?" I asked him, already knowing the answer. "I would want to, but my mom probably wouldn't approve," he said. Carefully Goten got up and walked over to my bed. He then layed down next to me. "I'm really scared Trunks, not because of your Dad but because of what my mom might do," He said softly. I gently put my arm around Goten's shoulder, I didn't want him to feel like he needed to protect me, and I knew thats how he was feeling. I carefully kissed the top of his forehead. "Don't worry about it Chibi, we'll figure that out when we get outta here." I replied to him softly,knowing that he knew i wasn't so sure but I was just trying to make him feel better, "I love you Chibi" I whispered in his ear, "I love you too," Goten said back to me, I then had him locked in another loving kiss. I didn't want the moment to end, my dad wasn't here and neither was his mom, it was perfect. "Trunks, why do you think your father does what he does?" Goten asked me quietly. "I think it's cause he's a sayian and mom's a human, and maybe he's ashamed of me cause I'll never be as strong as he wants me to cause I'm half and half, I'm not sure if thats the actual reason but it's a possibility," I replied to him. "But if that's the reason then wouldn't he beat your sister too?" He asked me. "I don't think so, for two reasons, first off cause she doesn't wanna be a fighter so he doesn't need to worry about how strong she is and also cause she only three, Dad started hitting me when I was five, maybe he's waiting until he knows she can take the pain, but I don't know, it's just a thought, I doubt I'm right," I say after a short pause for thinking.
After a while me and Goten start to nod off. Just as we were about to fall asleep a nurse came in to run some tests on us. "Well, Mr.Son, I think you'll be alright, you can leave now if you want, just a few bruises, but Mr.Briefs, oh boy, you have a very bad infection where your left knee was bleeding, you'll have to stay at least a month," the nurse said. "I'm not leaving till Trunks is better," Goten said to the nurse. "I'm sorry Mr.Son but you don't have a choice in the matter," The nurse said back to him. Goten starts to walk up to me, "Trunks I promise I'll come see you every day!" Goten said leaning down to kiss me. The nurse let Goten lay down next to me for a while but then he needed to leave, I felt so alone, the bed next to me that had once held my dear Chibi was now empty I started to cry, then I thought Come on Trunks snap outta it, he's leaving the hospital not dead.
After the long long night without Goten here, the morning finally came. He would be spending the whole day here. The good thing was that I'd be able to get outta here tommorow, it had been a long month. "I wonder when Goten's gonna..." Before i could finish my sentence the door opens and theres my Chibi, more beautiful than ever. "Hey Chibi" I said as he walked up to the bed I'd be confined to till tommorow. "How's your knee?" He asks knowing the answer. "It's fine, it has been for the past two weeks," I reply to him the way that i had for the two weeks now.
