The roof of Satan City Hospital wasn't particularly decorative but better then looking at her current surroundings. Videl Satan was thinking to her herself about the previous night's events. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were red and puffy.
"Miss?" a friendly voice called. Videl didn't seem to notice, she just sat looking lifelessly up to the roof. She felt a hand grip her shoulder, she looked over to be greeted by a lovely caring pair of green eyes.
"Miss?" the woman repeated "You can go in now, you won't get much of a response but it'll put you at a bit of ease,"
Videl nodded slightly as she got to her feet. She brushed her hair back with her hand, before fixing up her shirt so it was straight and not riding up her back. She walked towards the room straight ahead of her. She breathed in deeply before opening the door.
Upon entering the room she breathed in even harder. She watched the body on the bed breath in deeply, before breathing out. She walked over and reached for the hand of the man on the hospital bed. She let go of a few tears, she tried to hold them back but the pain she was feeling was way too much for her at the moment.
"Daddy?" she whispered looking at her father on the bed, cords attached to him, which in turn were also attached to machines. "Things are really fucked up at the moment,"
She looked at her father on the bed as he breathed in deeply. She let go of his hand as her tears began to flow even more through her eyes, her hands quickly rising to her face to erase the evidence of her pain. "With mum gone you're all I have left please don't leave me too," she sobbed as a nurse walked into the room.
"I'm sorry Miss," the nurse said "Visiting hours are over, would you like me to call for a taxi?"
Videl nodded gently as she bent down and kissed her fathers forehead. Even though she would say she hated some of the things he did she still loved him dearly. "Goodnight daddy," she whispered
Chi Chi watched from the kitchen of the Son Household towards the front yard of the Satan household where Gohan was sitting. He had neither smiled nor moved the whole time he had been sitting there. That was since last night too. He didn't left Videl's side at the hospital until she demanded he left. So imagine Miss Satan's surprise when her taxi arrived and she found her boyfriend sitting down looking at her carefully.
"Videl?" he whispered as she walked past him without even recognizing he was there. She stood by the door reaching into her backpack rummaging through its content to find her keys "Videl?"
"God Damn it!" she said throwing her bag on the ground. Gohan watched as she bent down on the ground. He'd never seen her like this, she couldn't control herself her body was shaking uncontrollably. He rushed to her side and picked her belongings up and herself and carried her over to his place. He didn't want her to be left alone tonight. Videl didn't bother fighting him like she normally would she just let him carry her.
Goten and Serena raced up the hallway only to bump into Gohan who was letting Videl get to her feet.
"Big brother!" Goten asked happily. "What are you doing carrying Videl?"
"Shoosh" Gohan answered gently as he placed his arm around her waist to help her stay on her feet. He helped her walk to his room, making sure to close the door behind them when they were in. Videl sat on the bed and looked at him, then looked at the ground.
"Gohan," she whispered quietly as he sat beside her. "I don't want you to see me like this,"
"Videl, I don't care if you cry," Gohan answered, "It doesn't change what I think of you,"
She lay on his bed and faced the wall away from him. She didn't want him to see her cry for a number of reasons. She didn't want him to think she was a weakling, but most importantly she didn't want to burden him with her problems.
"Videl, don't hold it in, you'll only make it harder on yourself," Gohan answered as he wrapped his arms around her, he kissed her temple as Videl snuggled up to him gently. She stared at the wall again.
"Why did this happen to me?" Videl asked quietly "What did I do to deserve this?"
"I don't know," Gohan answered, "This doesn't happen because you deserve it, its just something that happens,"
"If it weren't for me she'd be alright!" Videl answered "It's all my fault!"
"Don't blame yourself," Gohan whispered.
"But it is!" Videl answered raising her voice. "It's all my fault!" He opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say or how to react. He thought it would be best to let her be and think what she wanted, she wasn't really in the mood for listening.
Serena sat outside her twin brother's room on the ground. She was listening to the whole thing open up in front of her. She too had not liked the previous night's activities. Goten pounded up the hallway to her.
"Mum said you have to leave them alone" Goten answered as Serena stood up. He looked up at her and smiled. "Can you go Super Saiyan?"
Serena groaned as she walked up the hallway and sat at the table beside her mother who was flicking through channels on the television. All she had heard from the two younger Demi-Saiyans was 'can you go Super Saiyan?'.
"Mum? Are you alright?" Serena asked quietly.
Chichi nodded to her daughter. The previous night's events were not exactly thrilling. Several years ago she had lost her husband, now on this very night she had lost her friend. She couldn't but feel a little a lost. "How's Videl?"
Serena looked down at the carpet. "Pretty torn, she'll stay with him till tomorrow morning,"
"Poor thing," Chichi whispered rising to her feet. "I'm going to go to talk to Gohan for a moment," and with that she walked to her son's room gently opening the door. Upon opening the door she was greeted with a rather lovely site.
Gohan ran his hands up and down Videl's back as she rested quietly on his chest. He laced his fingers with hers before kissing her forehead. The woman couldn't help but squeal to herself. She quickly contained herself before she spoke. "Gohan can you come here for a second?"
Gohan nodded from his spot and gently moved out from under Videl. She just continued lying in her spot. He then walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
Chichi smiled at her eldest song. "What time are you two going to the hospital tomorrow?"
Gohan shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, she needs some rest first,"
"I agree," Chichi answered, "I would like her to stay here until her father is released,"
"Mum?" Gohan whispered, "Thanks,"
She smiled at him. "You can thank me with some grandchildren, eh?"
He blushed and turned into his room and closed the door behind him and he turned to look at Videl. She was shivering. He took of his jacket off to reveal his bare and muscular torso. He wrapped his jacket around her, before lying back down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her as she breathed in quietly.
Videl sighed at his warmth. She felt at ease in his arms and without thinking she whispered something she'd never considered before. 'I love you,'
The following morning things were quiet throughout the whole town of Satan City. The world champion been hurt badly and was in hospital in a critical condition, but his wife had been killed by one of the biggest killers on the road. Worst of all, young Videl Satan was left watching the whole event unravel before her very eyes.
The smoke from the fire pouring from crashed vehicles. The smell of the smoke gave Videl a slight headache. The screams she heard were deafening. Videl rolled over in her bed and gasped for breath, sweat covered her body.
She couldn't escape. It was everywhere, she looked during the day and it was in her dreams at night. She hated herself more then anything else in the world. She should've helped her mother. After all it was her fault her mother lost her life.
Chi Chi sat in the kitchen, she had five plates of bacon, eggs, pancakes, toast piled in front of her with a big cup of juice. Serena yawned as she sat at the table. She missed her mothers cooking badly. Her father wasn't very good.
"Morning Serena," Chichi whispered.
"Morning Mum," Serena groaned politely. "Who's all the food for?"
"All of us, Goten's just out getting some milk and juice from Bulma," Chichi answered setting the table. "How is she?"
Serena shrugged. "She doesn't seem to like me very much,"
"Why not?" Chichi asked, "You three were the best of friends eight years ago,"
"Beats me," Serena whispered as a blur flew into the room.
"Mum, I'm home!" Goten shouted placing the milk and juice on the table before taking his seat. A man walked into the room a few minutes later. He walked over to Serena and bent down to kiss her deeply. "Ewe!"
"Morning Mirai," Chi Chi said happily as footsteps were heard. Everyone turned to face the hallway. They're standing in the middle was Videl looking rather tired, but still up. Chi Chi immediately patted the seat beside her.
Videl smiled graciously and sat beside Chichi who moved a plate in front of her. She smiled at the woman. Even though she didn't have too, she was treating Videl like a regular part of the family, which she liked.
"Where's Gohan?" Chi Chi asked.
"He's asleep," Videl whispered "Thank you for letting me stay here last night,"
"You're welcome here anytime! You should know that," Chichi answered as Videl cried softly to herself, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
"Videl?" Chichi answered hugging the girl tightly.
Videl quickly wiped the remainder of the tears away and put on a brave face. She smiled at the older woman.
"Videl it's alright to be sad, it doesn't make you any less of a fighter,"
"Yeah I know" Videl answered "I'm going to have a shower and then go see Dad," she got to her feet and went to walk down the hallway, but Chi Chi pushed her back into her seat.
"Come on, eat something," the teen nodded her disagreement. "Nah, I'm fine," she rubbed her tummy gently. "Honest,"
"Just remember dear," Chi Chi answered hugging her again "It's aright to cry," and with that she walked down the hallway. 'I hope for your sake things work out,' she thought to herself.
