This chapter has a lot of dialogue in it. So bear with me.
Betrayal
Chapter 7
Accusations and Outbursts
Drea straightened up as she reached her home. Last night she had stayed the night with Rika…and technically Luke. She had eaten dinner at Luke's and got a chance to meet their mother. Letuce Broccoli had dark unruly hair like Rika and piercing gray eyes. Drea had felt a little uncomfortable around that woman. It was like she didn't notice any of teenagers there. It made Drea appreciate her mother better. Drea was now at the front door. Taking a deep breath she opened the door and stepped inside. Both of her parents were sitting at the kitchen table. They turned and looked at Drea when she came inside. Goku did not look happy.
"Drea! Oh…there you are! Are you okay? I was so worried about you!" ChiChi cried as she ran over to Drea and embraced her daughter into a hug.
"I fine Mom." Drea replied.
"Then where were you?" Goku asked sternly.
"Rika's house." Drea answered.
"As in Luke's house?" he ventured.
"No Luke's Diner." Drea replied sarcastically.
"Drea…you didn't…" ChiChi gasped, taking a step back.
"He touched you, didn't he? I'm going to kill him…" Goku growled, ready to leave the house.
"WE DID NOTHING! HOW COULD YOU GUYS THINK THAT ABOUT ME? WHY DON'T YOU TRUST ME? WE JUST ATE DINNER! I SLEPT IN THE GUEST ROOM!" Drea shouted, appalled at what her parents thought.
"Drea…then why were you gone all night?" ChiChi asked her daughter, her voice quivering
"Because she didn't want to come home."
Drea looked over and saw Gohan standing behind their parents. Drea sent a frown toward Gohan. Gohan was once again there for her. Sometimes she loved that twin ESP. But then again, there were times she hated it. Like now. He was always there, even when she didn't want him to be there. Glaring at Gohan she growled, "I can take care of this myself."
"I just wanted to help." Gohan shrugged turning away. "But I guess you don't need it."
"Why didn't you want to come home?" ChiChi asked.
"I already told you that. Remember, yesterday at the CC." Drea replied.
"Drea, honey, you didn't mean that." ChiChi muttered.
"No Mom I meant it. Every word I said." Drea snapped.
Goku was confused by this moment. What were Drea and ChiChi talking about, he wondered. Whatever it was it was something ChiChi didn't like about Drea thinking about whatever.
"What are you guys talking about?" Goku asked.
"You!" Drea snapped.
"Why are you talking about me?" Goku wondered aloud, surprised.
"HOW CAN YOU STAND HERE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED! IT WAS SEVEN YEARS DAD! SEVEN YEARS! YOU THINK YOU CAN WALK BACK INTO OUR LIVES LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED?! YOU WERE DEAD DAD! DEAD! IT WASN'T LIKE YOU AND MOM WERE DIVORCED OR SEPERATED! GOSH! THAT WOULD BE BETTER THAN WHAT YOPU DID TO US! HAVING AN AFFAIR WOULD BE BETTER THAN WHAT YOU DID! YOU ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED! YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR I'M SORRY I WAS GONE FACE FOR MOM, GOHAN, AND GOTEN BUT IT WON'T WORK ON ME! I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU! YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LEAVE US AGAIN! AREN'T YOU? HUH? ANSWER ME!" Drea shouted angrily.
Goku looked like he had been hit by a ton of bricks. Did Drea really think that about him. He was gone for those seven years for his family for their safety. Evil wouldn't attack if he were dead. Drea should realize that. He had explained that to his family when he came back.
"Drea," ChiChi scolded, "don't talk to your father like that!"
"He is not my father…" Drea growled.
"What do you mean I'm not your father?" Goku asked Drea, hurt and slightly confused by what she had said.
"A father wouldn't leave his kids. A father wouldn't make promises he couldn't keep. A father would let his kids know he loves them. A father would come back to life after when he had a chance to." Drea growled tears of anger rolling down her face.
"I stayed dead because I wanted you, your mother, and brothers to be safe." Goku replied sternly.
"Then what would have happened if evil showed up and you weren't here. What if they knew you were dead so they came after us, your 'family', so they could exact revenge on you. You know, they'll kill us leaving you knowing that maybe, if you were alive, you could've saved us maybe. You would know you had a part in our deaths." Drea said coldly.
"Drea, I would never want to hurt you. I love you." Goku tried to explain.
"You sure have a nice of showing it. 'Oh! I will stay dead for seven years because I love my family'! Gosh, Vegeta is a better father than you are." Drea snapped turning away from her parents.
"HOW MANY TIME DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT? I DID THAT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!" Goku shouted.
"My own good, huh? My own good would have been to have a father around. My own good would be a normal family. A family without Saiyans or evil being trying to kill us. A family without ki blasts or dragonballs. A family without having to worry every day if the father would come home. That would be my own good." Drea snapped.
"Drea…" Goku muttered.
"I'm leaving. I need to get out of here." Drea growled walking out of her house.
Goku began to follow Drea. He wasn't going to let her be like that. He knew he had to keep some control over her. He was her father. He couldn't let her walk out of the house like this. They both were outside and Drea was still fuming.
"DON'T YOU GET IT? LEAVE ME ALONE!" Drea shouted.
"DREA GET BACK HERE!" Goku ordered.
Drea stopped. It wasn't because her father said to stop, it was because she had never heard Goku use that tone with her before. It was odd. He never talked to her that way and it was surprising.
"What do you want?" Drea asked.
"I want to talk with you. You don't talk to me that way." Goku replied.
"You don't get it do you? I HATE YOU! Get it? I HATE YOU!" Drea yelled.
Did you like the ending to Chapter 7. It was short, yes, but it got the point along. Review please!
