Chapter 4

Gohan was now a junior in high school. Videl had broken up with him. He got really depressed again, his mother told him Videl wasn't worth it anyway and she would end up single and no money. This helped but it didn't make the pain go completely away.

One morning he was getting ready for school when his stomach started to hurt badly but he bother to say anything. During class he felt a sudden pain and then he started to throw up. He was rushed to the emergency room. According to the doctor his appendix burst if he had waited he would have died. From that point on things went down hill for him.

While after he went back to school but midway threw the year his mother had a heart attack and was only allowed to do certain things. So now Gohan had to find a job so he could support the two of them. At the same he tried finding a college. As things started getting really bad his friends told him all about this pill he could take and this thing that you smoke. Gohan was willing to try anything at this point. The pill could be taken when he was stuck in the house because he didn't have a smell so no one would notice it. The smoke was heroin, this was for anytime when he was outside. Both would relax him and help him stay calm.

Gohan had been taking the drugs for a while but it had triggered something, it was his past all the hurt he felt inside when he was younger. So he took more of the drugs he would do anything to stop the pain. He flew off to the cell games arena and kept repeating "Please dad help, if you still love us you will help us" Every time he said that he cried harder and harder finally he went home and acted like nothing was wrong.

That night they were sitting watching TV when she stopped breathing the rushed her straight to the hospital (the place that all to familiar) he was there for hours, Gohan refused to leave her until they figured out what was wrong. He had stepped out so they could take more tests (mostly to take a smoke). When he came back he saw the surprise of a lifetime.

"Father?"

Goku was standing over Chi-chi

"hey, Gohan how are you?"

Gohan jut stood there in shock, it had been so many years since he had seen his father( not counting dreams.) All of a sudden Gohan started screaming at Goku

"I hate you, you wouldn't back, mom missed and needed you so much, you were everything to her and you treated her like nothing" Finally he stopped and all Goku could say was

"You're right" he stopped and then said " I have always been there for you when you were sick I was never there in the morning because I didn't want to hurt your mother more, you guys are the world to me, if I could have defeated cell without losing my life I would have in a heart beat believe me. Your mother has always been there for me, I could never leave her, Gohan please trust me"

Gohan did because he could never stay mad at the one he looked up on.
