Breathe

Chapter 1 - Stellar

When all of this first started off I didn't think it was going to end up like this. Everything was so gruesome. My family, my job, my girlfriend, well my whole life to be exact. Nothing ever seemed to want to go my way. Not even flying to school was just a simple task anymore. I always ran into some kind of problem. From being in an a small school fight to getting rapped and left to die. I wasn't kidding it was bad. I'm going to start at a time before everything was so bad. Back when you would consider us all a normal family.

"Kakarotto come down at eat breakfast Before your late to school dear." My mother yelled up the stairs to me. I was only 15 at the time. A freshman in high school. At that moment in time all I was thinking about was the date me and Chi had tonight. I ran down the stairs as quick as I could, knocking over a stand that held a plant over. I quickly picked it up, but not quick enough because my father came into the hall way from his bedroom. I guess I woke him up because he had seriously pissed off look on his face. My father walked over to me, hate was just burning in his eyes. He reached down and backed handed me across the face. My head turned from the force of the slap. My eyes start to water hoping this wasn't going to be as all the others, praying that he wouldn't do this right before I had to go to school.

"Stupid, good for nothing maggot, get off the floor. Your always doing something wrong aren't you" My father said in detest, he then spat on me after which he walked into his room to go back to sleep. I wiped the spit off my face and finished cleaning the mess up. I then walked into the kitchen and ate my breakfast in silence. My mother wouldn't even look at me. I felt like she didn't even care about then. She would never stand up for me or my brothers. Kami did I wish I could have been with Raditz in college or as young as Turlus. He was so naïve he didn't understand what was going on when his big brother was punched and kicked and made to walk on the floor on your hands and knees because your knee's where on the verge or breaking and it hurt even worse to stand up. As soon as I was done with my breakfast I tip toed out the door and then sped through the air. Desperate to get to school as fast as I could. When the school came into view my mood lifted ten fold. I flew a little faster to land in front of Chi before she walked into school.

"Kami Kakarotto, you about killed me" Chi said her dark brown eyes twinkling with love as I pulled her into my arms for a light peck before class. I loved that girl so much, or at least I thought I did then. We had been "Going Out" for 3 months at that time. Come on that's a while when you are that age, right? I grabbed Chi's hand and her books and walked her to her first class then went to mine. There is where I sat right next to my best friends Krillen and Yamcha. When I got there Krillen was sitting looking as if he was working on last nights homework assignment.

"Hey Kril, whatchya doin?"

"Homework" Krillen said not taking his eyes off of his work. I knew he didn't do his school work, so my only reply was rolling my eyes. I sat down and got or my homework which I had finished at 5:00 the past day. I heard the bell ring and Mr. G got up to shut the door when Yamcha came running into class, lipstick smeared across his cheek. I chuckled lightly to myself then went back to day dreaming.

"Late As Usual Yamcha?" Mr. G asked sarcasm evident in his voice. He then went to his desk and turned channel one on. Yamcha sat down and started rubbing at his cheek. I sat watching channel just like any other day when the door opened and our vice principle walked in, followed by a boy with jet black hair who looked to be about my age. The vice principle then whispered something to Mr. G and nodded his head a couple of times then left, leaving the young boy just standing there. Mr. G turned the TV off cutting our channel one lesson on fried food short. Mr. G walked over to the boy and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Class this is Vegeta, yes as in Prince Vegeta. He will be joining us for a couple of weeks until his old school gets rebuilt. I expect you all to treat him better then you treat other new kids." He then let go of Vegeta and pointed at one of the desks in the room. "Vegeta you can go a head and take a seat in front of Kakarotto there if you'd like." Vegeta nodded his head and walked like a cat on the prowl into the seat in front of me. When he sat down I got an intense wif of a very musky smell, my eyes closed in pleasure. When I knew what was going on I shook my head quickly in a way to try to clear my thoughts then looked over at Krillen who was still working on his homework.

"That was weird" I mumbled to myself.

"What was?" I hear a deep voice asked. I turn my head to come face to face with non-other then the Price himself.

"Oh nothing" I say rubbing my head. Vegeta then stuck his hand out and then I stuck my hand. In a nice gesture of acquaintance.

"Names Vegeta" He said with a bright smile.

"Kakarotto" I should have never started talking to him. I wish I wouldn't have now. That whole class period seemed to just fly by as Vegeta and I talked about everything that just came to mind. He told me basically his whole life story it seemed life, and I the same. We became close friends that day. I even introduced him to my girlfriend Chi and gave him my phone number so he could call me that night. Which so you all know he did, I even forgot mine and Chi's date that night because we where on the phone until almost 1:00am that night. All we did was talk. Soon after though I started hanging out at his house. Which I will soon know was the worst mistake of my life.
