Chapter 4………………………….

Bulma brushed out Bra's hair as she sat in front of the mirror. They both were quiet, lost in their thoughts. Trunks sat at the computer, looking through his online photo album. He stopped on a picture of his high school graduation, a tear slipped down his face and splashed into the desk. The phone rang startled him, "Preach." he said. "Hey…" came Marron's sweet voice. "Hi…" he said looking thought his photo album again. 'I don't know what to say…"She said trying not to sound like she was crying. "Hey it's ok, I'm fine." Trunks said. "Do you know what happened?" She asked. "Nope, didn't ask." He said plainly. He came to a picture of himself and Vegeta wrestling in the grass. He remembered that day. It was the day before he had left to go to college. His father looked so happy, a grin of victory across his face as he pinned Trunks to the ground. He smiled as tears began to fall down his faces. "Trunks I'm gonna come over alright?" She asked. "Sure what ever, but I'm telling ya, I'm fine." He said. Then was a click midway into his sentence. Marron had hung up on him. Trunks shrugged and hung up the phone. He sat back in his chair and stared at the picture. He'd never had so much fun with his dad as he had on that summer afternoon. Trunks wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up, he took one last look at the picture and turned off the monitor. He walked over to his drawer and pulled on a black shirt. He flicked off his lights as he passed out of the room and closed the door. He walked down the hall a bit and stopped at his mothers door. He knock quietly, where was a "Come in!" from some where in her room. He walked, hands shoved in his pocket, and leaned on the door frame to her bathroom. He watched as Bulma finished brushing out Bra's hair. "Hey, Marron's stopping by to visit." Trunks said watching bra pull down her hair. "Oh, how nice of her to drive out, it's rather late." Bulma said looking up at him. "Yeah, I guess so." Trunks said staring out the window. Bulma followed his gaze out the window to the gravity machine. She suddenly began to cry as she stared out the window. Trunks moved beside her and put his arms around her. She put a hand on her forehead and calmed down a bit. There was a clinking of cars keys and foot steps. "That must be Marron." Trunks said pulling away from his mother. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. He ran out of the room and into the hall he saw his door was open and Marron was standing in the door way. He ran to her and pulled her close to him. He felt her trembling in his grasp. He kissed her on her cheek and rubbed her back." Shhhh... I'm here, it's ok... calm down." he said quietly. She looked up at him and let out a sigh ,leaning against his chest. He kissed her lightly and the head, and wrapped his arms around her. They stood in the door way for what seemed like hours. She finally pulled away from him and sat on the bed. Trunks leaned on the door frame and stared off into the darkness. Marron looked up and studied him. His figure was weary and listless. She stood up and stood beside him. "I'm going home, it's late and you need to go asleep" She said sternly. He shrugged and kissed her. She looked into his listless eyes looking for something. She walked away quietly and disappeared into the darkness.
