The Forgotten

Chapter 1

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong somewhere? Like you just wanted to disappear? Come back in another time where no one knows you or knows what you've done. And why you did it in the first place. Where your family isn't nagging at you and you're friends aren't disappointed in you when you forget something.

I have. I feel like that every single day. No one knows what it feels like, either. No one knows I feel this way. That's because I don't tell them. I don't tell them anything. I keep it all inside. Where no one will ever hurt me or be disappointed in me. You must think I'm crazy. Well, think all you want. You'd be the same way if you were me. My name's Bra Briefs and my life's a living hell.

People would laugh at me if I told them that. I'm the daughter of Bulma Briefs, life couldn't be any better, right? That's a lie if I ever told one. My father ignores me. My mother is too busy to take any time to just talk to me. And my brother...he's either at work, or out with his girlfriend, Marron.

It's not like I don't like Marron. I do, she's ok for one of Trunks' girlfriends. I'm not saying he has more than one right now, I'm just talking about all of his past girlfriends. But she doesn't know how much she's hurt me in the past.

I used to have a total crush on this one guy named Uub. He was Marron's friend and she said she could get him to notice me. I was so ecstatic, I had to say yes. It turns out that Uub likes Marron (not me) and that night when I walked into the party we were all going to, I saw them making out on the sofa. I was heartbroken. I ran home as fast as I could and when I opened the front door my best friend in the whole wide world almost ran into me. Or I almost ran into him. Whatever.

Anyways, when Goten saw my tear covered face, he immediately asked what was wrong. That's just the way Goten is, always looking out for everyone else's needs before his own. I told him all about what had happened and he looked at my sympathetically. He told me that something had happened like that to him too. One of his old buddies named Josh stole his girlfriend of the time, Paris.

Ok, no offense to Goten or Paris, but she is a real BI. She gets on my last nerves and I can't stand it. She's such an airhead and is so mean and cruel. She thinks she's so pretty and I guess she's right. I don't think she's that pretty, but I bet a lot of guys do. She is a total S-L-U-T. I'm serious. Just ask anyone and they'll tell you the same thing.

Enough about Paris. Back to the main subject. So his supposedly best friend Josh stole his girl. He was mad, of course. But he told me he regrets what he did. He beat Josh up and they've never spoken since. That's kind of sad. I would hate to never talk to Marron again. She's my all time best friend.

You may be wondering why I'm not friends with Pan. Well, the truth is that we were never really that close. Sure, our families were close, but we were nothing alike. She's a total tomboy, while I'm more of a girly-girl. She hates shopping when it's my all time favorite thing to do. She's a fighter. I'm not. I can't even stand the sight of blood, it makes me so queasy. We just were never really close.

Anyways, after Goten told me his story, he reached over and hugged me. It was just a friendly hug. I knew that. But something inside of me told me that it meant more than that. That it was more than just a friendly hug. That he really knew what I was going through and he wanted to make me feel better. That he understood me. I've never had anyone understand me like that.

That's when I realized that I liked Goten. I really liked him. As more than a friend. I had developed a crush on my best guy friend. On my brother's best friend. On a guy that's 5 years older than me. On a guy that has a girlfriend.

Now that I've mentioned her, I might as well tell you about her. Her name is Kali May Alston. She's from the US. From Texas to be exact. She has this accent that I find very odd. She's one of those blonde hair blue-eyed beauties. And Goten adores her. They go out almost every night and have been for almost 2 years. She's not a ditz either. She's actually kind of smart (that's compared to me). She's 24. I'm 21. Goten's 26.

That night after I went home, I prayed to God that Goten didn't see the look in my eyes when I realized that I liked him. I guess he didn't, because the next day he called me and asked if I wanted to go to the mall or something. I couldn't refuse. Even if my heart was breaking-on account of Goten already having a girlfriend-I still wouldn't be able to refuse an offer to go shopping.

The second after Goten hung up I ran to the bathroom. I only had thirty minutes to get ready! It took me fifteen just to pick out my outfit. I decided on some really tight jeans and my pink tank top that showed at least 2 inches of my stomach. I didn't have enough time to curl my hair, so I just left it straight. I only had five minutes left so I put on a very light amount of make-up. Remember, this was about a year ago.

When I arrived at the mall, I immediately saw Goten and waved enthusiastically at him. But then I noticed that he wasn't alone. Kali was with him. And Goten had his arm around her.

That just busted my bubble, I can tell you that much.

I decided not to say anything, so as to hide my identity of liking Goten. So, I kept on walking at a leisurely pace. Goten finally noticed me and smiled his uber big smile. (AN: That is also his 'famous Son grin') So I approached them.

When I finally reached my destination, Kali said in her really annoying voice- in my opinion-"Howdy, Bra!" God I can't stand her voice! "How are you?"

"Oh, I'm good. Same old, same old." That was a lie if I ever told one. I just got my heart broken yesterday by my best friend and I fall for someone only to have him already taken. Blah, my life sucks sometimes.

AN: Well, that's chapter one. Hoped you all liked it. Sorry to all of you Southern girls, I really like your accent. But Bra doesn't in this case because a Southern girl's dating Goten and she likes Goten. Well, tell me what you think, ok?
