Break Up To Make Up
Chapter 1: Tongue Tied
(Past Memory/Dream Sequence) Serena's POV:
I walk into the weight room slowly, quietly, as to keep my presence
hidden from its only occupant. I see him working diligently or rather lifting I
should say. The barbell that he was lifting was huge! I mean I couldn't
even imagine lifting something that weighed that much!
'So lifting weights isn't your thing, the voice in my head began, but that doesn't make him any better than you.'
The voice in my head was right. Trunks Mirari Briefs always acted as though
he was better than me. He didn't really care about me at all! I was just his
little play toy, something that he felt that he could just cast aside as soon
as he grew tired of me. He constantly took advantage of the feelings that
he knew that I had for him. I mean if he really truly cared about me, would
he be lifting weights right now as though nothing had happened? The
truth of the matter was that he didn't care for me at all. Trunks Briefs had
lied when he told me that he loved me. Lies. Everything that he ever told
me was a lie!
'And you were going to apologize to him!? He's nothing but a lying, two- faced, womanizing jer---'
"Something I can help you with love?" A deep and slightly rough masculine voice questioned.
I had been so wrapped up in my thoughts that I hadn't even heard him
set down his barbells. I looked up only to see his smirking face staring lazily
back at me, the satisfaction of having "won" an argument again clearly
written all over his handsome features. I simply stood there; my hands
were clenching and unclenching into fists behind my back. I couldn't
believe it! He actually thought that I had come here to apologize!? The
nerve of him!
'Well, that annoying little voice nagged, wasn't that what you came here to do in the first place?'
'No!' I yelled.
'Are you sure about that, the voice continued, are you sure that you're not being...oh how did he put now... Over-emotional?'
'No---so shove it!' I yell back again, but he had said that hadn't he? Trunks said that I was seriously over-emotional.
At this realization I could feel my eyes begin to well up with tears.
'Sure, start crying, way to go Serena!'
'Shut up!' I countered back.
'No, seriously, keep giving him what he wants. He wants you to turn on the water-works then do it, but if I were you then I wouldn't even begin to give him the satisfaction of seeing your tears.
'You're Right. I shouldn't let him-hey wait a minute!"
'Yeah?'
'Y-You're me-I-I'm talking to myself!'
'Wonderful observation...did they teach you that in school?'
'Stop arguing with me...wait...I'm talking to myself again... " " Bingo! Someone give the chick a prize! Now...back to business... Whack em' one good ya loony!
"Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!"! I scream as I shake my head back and forth.
"You OK?" He asks me casually, whilst raising a questioning eyebrow.
I've really got to stop arguing with myself; especially in front of him!
I nod slowly.
"I haven't got all day sweetheart. He drawls out slowly.
When I don't answer right away he chuckles lightly and whispers sweetly:
"You look absolutely adorable babe!"
'Ah yes Trunks turn on the charm, that's exactly what I need!'
He continued on when I still stood there just staring stupidly, and he slowly
began to advance forward, grinning all the way.
"Blushing cheeks...cherry nose...snow still clinging to your beautiful blonde hair...why, you look like a regular snow angel."
"Thanks a lot." I muttered dryly, suddenly finding my voice.
By this time Trunks was what seemed to be only inches away from me. He
was so close that I could see the beads of sweat that covered his rock
hard abs as they glistened in the sunlight. He had the body of a god, and
a very sexy god at that.
'Don't get sidetracked! Keep your eye on the prize girlfriend!' Came the voice once again.
'Right!' I felt my lips twist up into an evil smirk.
If he thought that he could walk all over me then he had another thing
coming! Serena Tuskino did not like to be made a fool of. I've had it with
him I thought to myself, all the while I was twisting the ring on my finger
behind my back. Trunks Briefs would no longer be able to take advantage
of me! Never again!
"Save it Trunk's, I interrupted coldly, didn't I tell you a long time ago that flatter will get you no where, especially with me."
"Ouch Love, that was a little harsh, don't you think?
I stopped trying to explain myself as I slow felt my newly built confidence begin to slip away. 'Come on Rena, you've got to think of something intelligent to say quick!'
"Look-I just don't...I mean...I-I'm tired of...of..."
'Oh yeah...real smooth...now really thinks you're nothing but a blonde ditz!'
"Can it!" I told the voice
He folds his arms across his chest and gives me a tired look before trying to coax the rest of my jumbled sentence out of me: "Tired of what?"
Once again I found myself unable to speak.
"Look babe, he spoke again, Like I said before I really don't have all day to wait for you to say something. So if you don't mind..."
"I-I'm tired of-of...you!" I nearly shouted the last part.
"Of me? You're tired of me!?" He repeated out loud in disbelief.
"Yes, I continued, of you and I'm tired of myself. I'm tired of just letting you walk all over me. I'm tired of you not caring about my feelings...and your treating of me as though I am beneath you!"
He opened his mouth in reply to my last statement, but I intercepted hi
before he could even begin.
"Shut up, I continued to rage, I'm not finished! To my surprise he actually did shut up! I don't know what your problem is, or why you're being such an ass, all I know is that I can't take it anymore!"
"Serena, he said with a sigh, don't you think that you're overreacting just a bit?"
Now that comment made me even angrier!
"So you think that I'm overemotional and that I'm overreacting now huh!?"
"No... Serena, I didn't say that---"
"Oh yeah you did!"
"Ok...maybe I did say that...but you know I didn't mean it babe."
"You did too mean it...and stop calling me babe."
"How bout' bunny then?'
"Don't call me that either!"
"Sweetie? Beautiful?"
"No and no."
"Sexy?"
"Most definitely not!"
"What can I call you then?" He asked obviously exasperated as he ran a hand through his tousled long purple locks.
I simply stood there, pretending to be thinking hard on the subject.
"I know, I said with fake enthusiasm, how about my name... Serena
Tuskino!"
It took him a moment, but after careful consideration of the meaning of
my words, he dropped his casual demeanor.
"What do you mean?" He asked finally growing suspicious of my intentions.
"Trunks, you're a smart man, you figure it out!" And with that said, I removed the ring from my finger from behind my back. I held the ring in one hand and grabbed his hand with my other.
"Trunks, I said with a renewed sense of pride, I refuse to play the part of the weakling in our relationship. Being with you wasn't exactly the smartest thing that I have ever done, but then again I'm no scholar, that's Bra's department, but just because I'm not a genius doesn't mean that I don't know what I want."
Trunks' eyes were wide with confusion, I don't think he thought that I
was serious.
"Wha---he began...just what do you want Serena?"
"I-I want out Trunks." I said quietly
"Excuse me?"
I said it a little louder the second time: "I want out of this relationship Trunks!"
In one swift movement I opened his fist and quickly placed the ring in
the palm of his hand. He looked at the ring in his hand, then back at me.
"You so cannot be serious Rena."
"It's Serena!" I corrected angrily. "It's over Trunks, I whispered calmly, we're through."
I spun on my heel and strode towards the door of the weight room, I
opened it and stepped out into the frigid winter air. Glancing up at the
sky I found no trace of fluffy clouds or birds or even the sun, only a bleak
white nothingness, a snowy abyss. (Nearly 30 minutes later) I've been
standing here for so long that I can't feel my fingers anymore. As I stared
down at them I noticed that they were turning a light blue hue. Great...
well maybe if I stay out here long enough, the chill will not only numb the
painful sensations in my fingers, but the pain in my heart as well.
(Present) Serena's POV
"Ooooohhhhh ......." I groan as I attempt to sit up. Why does my head hurt so freaking much; was I hit by a freight train or something?
Wait a minute! The last place that I remember being was outside in the
snow...near the weight room! Quickly I take my left hand out from under
the covers. There's no ring on my finger...I check my right hand just to
make sure, and there is no ring on that hand either. Oh Kami...I really did
it...I really broke up with him! I let out an audible sigh and slide back into
my reclining position on my bed, which brings me back to my original
question: How did I get here in the first place?
Creeeeaaaak!!!!!! My heart jumps at the noise, and I carefully turn myself
so that I can see the identity of the intruder. It happens to be none other
than Marron!
"What's up?" I ask, as I flash her a weak smile that she doesn't return.
"Oh...nothing much," she responds carefully.
"Oh...nothing," I repeat stupidly for lack of anything better to say.
"Sooooo...the million dollar question Serena. How do you feel?"
"Ummmm..."
"Better than you did earlier I take it?"
"What do you mean earlier"--- I am unable to finish my sentence because at that very moment my door bursts open and Videl Satan and Bra Briefs storm into my room.
"Ah so you're awake." Videl observes with just a hint of concern in voice. How are you feeling she asks as she makes her way to the head of my bed.
"Err... better I guess..." I answer somewhat reluctantly.
"Good!" She agrees, and then before I can dodge it, she slaps me hard upside my head, and I mean hard!
"Ouch! Jeeze what was that for?"
"For being the stupidest girl alive! You idiot, if Bra hadn't found you then you would be a frozen blonde Popsicle by now! I swear sometimes you can be such a ditz, and in case you haven't noticed, it's not ninety-eight degrees outside! News flash Tuskino we're in the middle of friggin' winter!"
"I have to admit Serena, Bra piped up, that this has got to be one the stupidest things that you have ever done! Think about it Serena, you had no gloves, no coat, no hat, not even a scarf! You're lucky that one of us found you out there, instead of someone like Bulma or Vegeta, they would have killed you! If Trunks had found you, he would have gone seriously postal on you and you know it, but you got seriously lucky because you weren't that far from the weight room."
At the mention of Trunks' name, and the weight room, I feel my eyes well
up with tears as I remember what occurred only hours ago.
"You guys, Marron intervenes, I think something happened yesterday." She says this while nodding in my direction.
Videl gives me a weary look before finally asking: "Did something happen outside this morning?"
Slowly I nod my head, all the while staring at the beautiful designs that
had been embroidered on the blanket that I was under.
Do you want to talk about Rena? Bra asks me quietly.
Suddenly I feel as though I'm going to explode, and before I have time to
think about what I'm doing I burst into tears. The anger and tension that
had once filled the room faded away as I recite my story from beginning
to end in great detail.
