Ease My Pain Chapter 18

Goku was very weak from all the stress he felt and also brokenhearted cause chichi didn't give him an answer about their marriage. Goku was in bed feeling tired and weak and in pain from the headache he had. He didn't want to eat and he couldn't sleep. "Bulma.... whatever you..... do don't say anything to chichi." Said goku.

Bulma looked at goku and she knew he was sick but he never looked so weak and pale but only when he had the heart virus. "Goku, don't worry about chichi right now! You need to rest!"

Krillen came back in the room with the thermometer and bulma took his temperature. "Is he going to be ok?" asked krillen.

"I don't know it seems goku is up under a lot of stress and it's really starting to take effect on his body." Said bulma.

"Wow being separated from chichi has really affected him a whole lot!"

"It's not only that krillen. It's also being separated from his sons and not being with his whole family. He wasn't expecting this."

"Yeah as soon as he came home chichi threw him out!" said krillen feeling bad for goku.

Bulma took the thermometer out of his mouth. "Oh wow!"

"What is it bulma??!"

"Goku has a fever of 102!"

"A 102?! He's really sick!"

"Krillen I think maybe we need to take goku to the hospital!"

"N-No bulma I don't think I need to go!" said goku sounding weak. "Goku you have a high fever you need to see a doctor!" said bulma sternly.

Wincing in pain. "Bulma... why don't you.... just give me some.... aspirin and I'll be fine!" said goku.

"Goku, PLEASE! Were going to help you not let you stay here and get sicker!" said bulma sternly.

Sighing. "I just hate going to doctors!"

"I'm sorry goku but I agree with bulma she's right! You need to see a doctor! Know telling what else could be wrong with you!" said krillen.

Both bulma and krillen helped goku up out of bed and krillen helped goku get dressed. Goku asked krillen not to breathe a word to his family about him being sick. They left and took him to the hospital.

Meanwhile gohan was doing his homework when goten came in the room and jumped in his lap. "Hey gohan let's play!" Gohan pushed him on the floor caused he jumped on him to hard and messed up his concentration. "Would you not DO THAT WHILE I'M TRYING TO CONCENTRATE!!" yelled gohan.

Goten jumped off the floor and punched gohan in his face and ran out the room and gohan got up off the floor and came after him. Goten came to chichi's room. "MOM, GOHANS GOING TO HIT ME!"

"WHAT!" said chichi. Gohan walked in the room with his nose bleeding a little. "WHAT, is going on??!" said chichi.

"Goten HIT ME!"

"YOU STARTED IT!!"

"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!!" yelled chichi. Chichi got some tissue off her dresser so gohan could wipe his nose.

"Now, what really happen?! Starting with you goten and I want the TRUTH!"

"I walked in gohan's room and jumped in his lap and he got mad and pushed me on the floor yelling about he can't concentrate!"

"Anything else happen?!" said chichi sternly.

"Well I hit him for pushing me on the floor!" said goten angry.

"Ok gohan is this the truth?"

Rolling his eyes. "Yes, mom it is! But I was doing my homework and he just barged in and jumped on me real hard!"

Chichi looked at both her sons. "You two are ridiculous! You both were wrong for hitting each other! I should ground both of you!"

"No mom!" said gohan and goten.

"Well then cut it OUT and goten stay out of your brothers room when he's studying and gohan don't push your brother, you know your older than him! Now do I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!"

"Yes mom." Said goten and gohan.

"Good!"

Gohan looked at goten like if he wanted to punch him. Mumbling under his lips. "You come in my room again like that and I'm going to punch your lights out!" said gohan mumbling.

"Did I hear something?!" said chichi.

"No mom!" said gohan.

"He said he was going to punch my lights out!" said goten.

"What!"

"SHUT UP GOTEN!!" said gohan.

"Gohan?! You are going to get GROUNDED! Now go to your room!"

"Yes mom!"

"You go to your room also goten!"

"Yes mom!"

I'll get you gohan for being mean to me! said goten thinking to himself.

Gohan went in his room frustrated. He sat down at his desk thinking of how he can get back to concentrating on his homework, which was hard to do now.

The next day at school third period. Gohan came in class and sat next to erasa and videl. Drew came in and sat next to sharpner. "Hey drew?! So what are you up to?" said sharpner.

"You'll see soon!" said drew.

The teacher walked in and sat down at his desk and took attendance. During forth period in chemistry lab drew past by gohan and on purposely he spilled a yellow solution on his pants and it looked like he use the bathroom on himself. "HEY!!"

"Oh, sorry gohan I didn't mean that!" said drew sarcastically.

Gohan went to the bathroom complaining about what his mom was going to say about his pants. "This is just GREAT!" said gohan. Gohan cleaned off his pants and went back to class with everyone look at the yellow stain on his pants.

Drew and sharpner were giggling and whispering to other people in the class saying that gohan urinated on himself. Gohan felt sort of embarrassed. When class ended gohan was going to his locker and some people were laughing and staring at him.

Two girls came up to gohan and asked what happened to his pants he told them that drew spilled some yellow solution on his pants. Drew and sharpner were looking at gohan several lockers away. One of the girls looked at gohan and said how cute he was and asked about going to a party at brays house in two weeks. "Uh, I don't know I have to get permission first." Said gohan, smiling.

"Did I just HEAR her ask him to go to a PARTY!" said drew. "You just heard it!" said sharpner.

"DARN! I can't BELIEVE THIS!"

Sharpner pulled drew down the hall further so gohan won't here him. "You need to keep your voice down drew or he's going to find out what your up to!" said sharpner. "I thought for sure those girls would run from him and their just enjoying his company, just LOOK at them sharpner! I have to think of something else!" said drew looking devilish.

***************

While at the hospital bulma and krillen were waiting for the doctor to come out and talk to them about goku's condition since he did spend the night in the hospital.

"Poor goku the doctor didn't even tell us what was wrong with him but they did say we would know something today, I hate to see him like this!" said bulma. "Me too, I wish chichi would decide what she wants instead of having goku hanging!" said krillen.

The doctor came out to talk with bulma and krillen. "You must be friends of goku?" "Yes we are!" said bulma.

"Well goku seems to be under a lot of stress from what he told me and not eating for a couple of days is not healthy that's why he has that headache and being under a lot of stress will bring it on also with a fever. I'm going to prescribe some antidepressants so he can be able to handle the separation he's dealing with. Also I suggested for goku to go home and rest and not stress cause he can cause himself some very serious problems I've already signed the release papers for him to leave." Said the doctor.

"Is it ok to see him?" said bulma. The doctor told them both that it was ok to see goku. Bulma and krillen walked in the room where goku was and goku was cleaned and dressed in his jeans and black tee shirt sitting on the bed. "Hey goku! How are you feeling?!" said bulma. "Yeah, how are you feeling?" said krillen.

"I feel a lot better than last night I'm glad I don't have that headache anymore or that fever!"

"Goku, did you here what the doctor said?" asked krillen.

"Yeah he wants me to take some crazy antidepressants! I HATE taking medicine! That's why I'm so glad to leave this place!" said goku feeling frustrated.

"Goku?"

"Yeah bulma?" said goku looking at bulma worried.

"We talk to the doctor and he told us that you really need to relax and not stress or you can cause yourself some serious problems!" said bulma sounding worried.

"Don't worry bulma I'll just try and not worry about what's going on. Just do me a favor guys?" "Yeah sure!" said krillen.

"Don't tell my family about what happen I don't want anybody to know what happen!" "Goku how long do you think you can keep this from chichi?!" said bulma.

"Bulma I'm sorry but I don't want chichi to know or my son's! Chichi, is in her own world with ETHAN and she doesn't give a SPIT about Me! So, when she finds out that I got sick its cause I told her other wise, I don't want her to know!"

Bulma was surprised that goku would say that! She could hear the anger in his voice!

"Are you sure about that goku?!" said krillen.

Goku got in his face. "KRILLEN?! Did I STUDDER?!!"

"Yikes, goku! What did they give you last night?!" said krillen.

Sighs. "Listen guys I don't mean to be snappy but I really don't want my family to know! So could we just get the release papers and LEAVE before I JUMP out the WINDOW and take off!"

"Goku?! Would you have some PATIENTS it won't be long!" The nurse came in and had goku sign the release papers and she gave him his prescription. They all left the hospital and headed back to master roshi's house in bulmas copter.

******************

After school one of the girls name drena, that said gohan was cute, happen to see him and she walked up right in front of him almost scaring the daylights out of him. "Ahh!! Hey, don't do that!"

"Do I look that scary, gohan?!" said drena .

"No you don't look scary it's just, I didn't see you and my mind was somewhere else!" said gohan. "I hope those thoughts were on me." said drena smiling lustfully at gohan.
Gohan saw the way she looked at him and it just turns him off when girls look like that at him! He knew she was pretty and he wanted to take a chance at getting to know her but, he was sort of nervous and he didn't want her to find out about his power cause he always hid them since he started school.
"You know I didn't get your name or, you told me and I forgot!" said gohan smiling.

"It's Drena!"

"Pretty name!" said gohan smiling.
"So gohan are you going to bray's party?"
"Ha, ha, it's good you ask me again and I didn't ask my mom yet!" "Well when you get the answer could you tell me cause I want you to hang out with me so we can get to know each other!" said drena smiling.
As they were smiling at each other videl and erasa were far off and it caught videls eye. "Hey erasa look who's talking to gohan?" said videl.

"Ah! You have GOT to be KIDDING!" said erasa.

"Well I'm not!" said videl being sarcastic. As they were looking from a distance they saw gohan and drena walk their separate ways.

"She has a lot of nerve the way her reputation is!" said erasa.

"Let's not get upset erasa gohan can pick any girl he want's it's not like he's dating you!"
"Don't remind me videl! As much as I like to!" "Well let's hurry up and get to my house cause we got a lot of homework we have to do!" said videl.

**************

Chichi was on the couch making out with Ethan. "Chichi, why don't you and your sons come to my house and spend the weekend?" Chichi eased back from kissing ethan. "I don't know if that's a good idea cause usually my sons take off on the weekend with their father and they haven't seen him in a week so, I'm pretty sure their going to want to see their father this weekend!"

"Well maybe it could be just you and me!" said ethan kissing her hand.

"Well-l-l.....

Gohan came in the door interrupting her answer and saw Ethan with his mom. Oh no don't he KNOW how to STAY HOME thought gohan.

"Hi gohan! How was school?" said ethan. "It was kool!" said gohan giving a fake smile. "Dinner will be ready soon!" said chichi. "Ok mom!" said gohan going to his room closing the door.

Gohan threw his backpack on the floor and flopped on his bed wishing this nightmare with his mom dating Ethan would end. He prefer to see his dad and mom together but then, him and his dad wasn't getting along that great either.

"This life is so unfair at times! I hate when grown-ups make such lousy decisions! Why couldn't my dad just come back after the cell games and forget about endangering the planet?!"

Gohan was frustrated and climbed out the window and ran a few miles in the forest and took out the joint that bray gave him and laid under the tree and smoked it! "This feels BETTER than being in the house listening to my mother make out with her idiot boyfriend!" Then out of nowhere the joint that he had in his mouth went flying out from his lips and a hard slap across his face.
