~*~I'll be there~*~

Chapter: 27 Confused feelings.


====================================================================================


**Last time**



My grampa once told me. You keep the things you love close to you, afraid something bad might happen if they leave. I don't know exactly what he meant by that cause with Trunks its different, very different. Of course I think I'm in love with him but I could honestly say I'd rather think of him in my room than be close to him, I find that weird.

Maybe I'm wrong maybe I don't love him. Maybe I just like him a lot....


====================================================================================



Now on with the story........



"Thanks Trunks" I said, Trunks had given me his shirt. It was long and black and made of the softest cotton, I could even smell Trunks on it.

"No problem Panny, you look good in it" I took in a sharp breath, obviously he didn't mean to say it. Once those words came out of his mouth I could have sworn I seen his cheeks tint a rose pink.

Did he really think so? I mean I was no Bra but I did have my own look. Even though I haven't gotten my "friends" I'm still happy with the way I look. After it was said I just sat there like a fool, I honestly didn't know what to say.

"Uh....thanks" I said, I took a seat in the sand earlier and was watching Bra and Goten fool around in the water. Trunks sat next to me he was sorta in a trance, he was looking up at the sky, there were no stars out it was pitch black.

"What are you thinking about Trunks?" I asked, I didn't want to upset him but something was on his mind and I wanted to know.

He turned to me and smiled, I raised my eyebrows waiting for him to answer.

"Pan I'm getting old" He started, I busted out laughing. His smile faded so I stopped laughing and tried to look serious.

"Trunks your only twenty-three!" I said. He nodded with agreement.

"I know but its beside the point, I want a family" Trunks? Trunks of all people wanted a family. The same Trunks that would be gone all night at parties and seen with various women? No.

"Trunks you have plenty of time to have a family, your young" I said.

"Oh Panny its not time I'm worried about, its women" He was being totally serious that's what I didn't get. Trunks always had women all over him, all he would have to smile and there would be a slut on his arm.

"Trunks correct me if I'm wrong ok? Your a quadruple multi millionaire, your Japans most eligible bachelor and I'm saying you rank up in the top three in America. Not to mention your very handsome, strong, nice and wait this is the best one." I stopped for a minute to think how I was gonna put this, its sometimes harder to say than you think.

For the brief second I looked at Trunks he had a huge smile on his face, like he found a pot of gold. "And you have heart Trunks, that's the most important thing."

His smile faded and he got a really surprised look, I was beginning to regret saying everything that I did.

"You really think I'm all that Pan?" He asked like he didn't believe me. He was, out of any guy I know or knew, the most perfect guy he had it all and way more! How can't you love someone like him?

I laughed. "Of course Trunks, I bet you I couldn't find a girl that wouldn't like you!"

"Yeah Panny that's the problem, all the women that want me just want me for my money" He said.

"So your scared your not gonna find that special girl in time?" I asked. I wasn't always good at the advice bit, I was always the one to get it. But I was always up for it.

"Yeah that's totally right! I'm thinking if I keep going at this rate all I'm gonna find is the wrong women" He said. He had no idea how much I just wanted to give him a hug and tell him everything was gonna be fine. But that wasn't gonna solve anything so I'll just tell him what I know.

"Trunks let me give you some words of advice, or what I call advice. Even though you think your never gonna find that special girl you don't have to worry, let her find you. But if you wanna look for yourself that's fine, all you have to do is look for the important thing in women, there heart. Someone that has a heart would do anything for you, they would stand beside you and love you the whole time not giving a shit what anyone else said. But what can ya say? You just have to learn to look into peoples heart, past other things. Everybody's the same Trunks we all work the same way, the heart and the mind make up the person inside, not anything else. All you have to do is learn to look at there heart and figure out there mind and it'll be all that easier." I said.

Did I really say that? I looked at Trunks, he was looking back at the sky. There was a long silence where I thought it was best to just go, I gave him my look at it all that's all I can do. I got up from my spot in the sand and starting walking back to the house until I heard Trunks call my name.

When I turned around he was standing also, with a blank expression. A shiver ran up my back, I'd never been this scared.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"How did you get so smart?" He asked, chuckling slightly.

"Seriously Trunks, I don't know, it just comes natural" I said. I didn't want to sound like the godfather or anything but what I just told him I didn't even know I knew. He smiled and started fidgeting with his hands.

"Thanks Pan" He said. I nodded walked over to him.

I wasn't sure what I was gonna do, I just let my instincts take control. I raised on my tippee toes and wrapped my arms around his strong shoulders.

"I have a strong feeling your gonna find her Trunks, I really do" I said. I felt his arms go around my small waist and squeeze gently.

"I wouldn't know what I'd do without you Pan, your an angel" He said. I laughed.

"Not nearly, but thanks anyway.......listen I'm gonna go back, I'm getting kinda tired" I lied. I just wanted to go to my room and think about this whole situation and what unfolded.

"Sure, I'll see you tomorrow" He said. I nodded and turned to go back to the house.


====================================================================================



I've made up my mind, I'm not in love with Trunks anymore. It finally hit me earlier when he said he wanted a family. I'm only fifteen and I need to put this whole crush thing behind me. I mean I'm still gonna love him I don't think I'll ever stop, I'll just stop thinking of him like that.

No madder how hard it is, I have to....its the right thing, right?


====================================================================================



We only had another day to stay at Trunks' house, we were all leaving that night. The next day was hard, I tried to be as comfortable with Trunks as possible, it seemed to be working. All of us went down to an amusement park on Sunday, it was a great day too until uncle Goten got sick on the roller coaster and threw up on Bra. I've never seen her so mad, still it was fun it was a good time for me and Trunks to get closer as friends, we did.

On the way out of the park Bra spotted a picture booth she urged me and Trunks to take pictures after her and Goten were done, seeing the booth could only fit two people. I was all for it and so was Trunks, I jumped in the booth and sat to the left of Trunks we had two pictures and I wanted to make them good.

The first picture was hilarious, Trunks grabbed me around the waist and rested his head on my shoulder as I stupidly looked at the camera. We had one more, the clock was ticking down till the picture would be taken. At the last second I shifted up and planted a light butterfly kiss on Trunks' cheek. When the pictures came out you could see the pink in his cheeks, Bra teased him all the way back to the house.

Everything seemed to be going great, I had Trunks as a best friend again and didn't even think of him any other way the rest of the weekend. But like all good things, it had to end and it did we were leaving that night.

I was in the room me and Goten shared that week, packing all my belongings into capsules when I came upon something I was supposed to give Trunks.

"The jacket" I said to myself, I wasn't gonna leave without giving it to him.

I uncapsuled it and folded it neatly putting it behind my back, now to find Trunks. I searched for his ki, he was in his room only a few doors down. I left my room and went to the door that I presumed was his and knocked lightly, I received a response.

"Come in"

I grabbed the knob and let myself in, Trunks came out of the bathroom wearing just a pair of kakhi pants he was obviously getting dressed.

"Hi" I greeted. He smiled and grabbed a white shirt from his bed, I watched.

"What can I do for you Pan-chan." He asked. He started calling me that yesterday, I didn't really mind I picked up on calling him Trunks-kun.

"Well, actually.....I....uh...I.uh got you something" I said. He popped his head through the shirt and straightened it to his waist, then looked at me strangely.

"Oh really? Panny I hope you didn't" He laughed then noticed my arm around my back.

"I did, close your eyes" I said, he did as told. I walked up to him and took the jacket from behind my back. "Ok open your eyes!" I yelled.

He opened them and looked down at the jacket, his mouth formed a O and his eyes widened.

"Panny why did you do this?" He asked smiling. I laughed and put the jacket in his hands.

"Well, really I bought this for you a while back, just didn't have the time to give it to you" I said. His eyes were fixed on it, a smile fixed on his face. "Do you like it?" I asked.

"Like it Pan? I love it, thanks" He said grabbing me with his arm and pulling me into a hug. I felt like a huge ton of bricks were lifted off my shoulders.

"Good, now we have an eye for an eye" I said. He was confused until I reached up and grabbed the chain that was around my neck, the locket he got my when I was thirteen.

He smiled and gave me another hug this time squeezing more firmly, that's when I felt it. After convincing my heart that I was over him, I got that feeling again.

Maybe I wasn't over him?
