Yay, its chapter! I don't own dbz or the characters.

Ease My Pain Chapter 20

Ethan looked at chichi wondering what she had to say. "You know Ethan, I've been thinking about me and you and I think we need to call it quit's."

Ethan looked at chichi wide eyed like she lost her mind. "Chichi, you can't be SERIOUS!"

Chichi got up and folded her arms walking towards the window. "I am serious ethan. Listen, you and me is not a good idea I think I still want to be with my husband and then, still, I don't know about that either cause, I'm still mad with him and I need time to think what I want to do." said chichi.

Ethan got up and walked behind chichi putting his arms around her waist talking to her. "Listen chichi I love you I don't want to be with any other women!" He turned chichi around so she can look at him. "Listen, why do you want to go back with your husband he hasn't been home in four years your oldest son is almost an adult! He should of taken responsibility as a husband instead of taking off to wherever he went!"

"I know Ethan but...... I don't want to lead you on. Remember I was married when I met you." said chichi. "Yes I know but you said your husband was dead and I believed you and then all of a sudden he comes waltzing back in your life when we were just getting good in our relationship."

"Ethan you're a wonderful guy but I can't have a divided heart and I came to a conclusion that I rather be by myself until I decided if I want to be with my husband or not. I shouldn't have started a relationship with anyone until I knew in my heart if I really wanted to be in a relationship.

Ethan let go of chichi and looked at her feeling hurt. "I think it's best that I stay away I don't want to get hurt more then what I already feel." Ethan turned around and left out the door looking at chichi and then he turned to leave and gohan came walking up as Ethan was leaving seeing a broken hearted look on his face.

Gohan didn't say anything to him but just looked. Chichi turned around and started crying a little. Gohan came in and closed the door hearing little crying noises he knew that was his mom. He came closer and put his hand on her shoulder. "Mom are you ok? He didn't hurt you did he?" said gohan worried.

"No gohan he didn't I just called it quits for now." said chichi getting some tissue. "You broke up with ethan?" said gohan looking at his mother surprised. "Yes I did. I'm just a little mixed up right now son I just need some time to think about what I want to do."

"Are you going to be ok?" "Of course son I'll be fine I just need some time alone. That's all! So, how was school today?" said chichi changing the subject. "It was fine. I just have some homework to do."

"Well you can do your homework after you finish eating." "Ok mom. Oh, I forgot to tell you theirs this party at bray's house next Friday and I wanted to know if I can go." "Yeah sure son. I'm pretty sure your making a lot of new friends." "Thanks mom. Is it ok if I can spend the night too?" said gohan.

"Yeah sure." said chichi hugging him. Goten was looking out of his bedroom door and was sort of jealous cause, gohan get's to go out to a party and he's sometimes is mean to him. Goten rolled his eyes and closed his bedroom door.

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

"So mace why is bray giving you a hard time?" said zedrick. "He just doesn't want to do the job and most likely he's scared I told him theirs no blood involved so he should just relax. Nobody crosses mace and gets away with IT! That, PUNK has seen too MUCH for me just to let him go!" said mace angry.

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

In south city park goku, was taking a walk on a trail to get some fresh air and just clear his mind instead of being in bed all day. No one knew where he was cause they wanted him to stay in bed and rest but, he never really did what doctors say or listen to his friends that much. Goku never took walks that much and if he did he, be on the other island where he takes gohan and goten to train but this time he went in the city.

Goku sat down on the bench and threw some sunflower seeds (that master roshi kept in his house) at the pigeons. Goku looked up and all he could see walking was families. Goku put his head down and tried not to look but every time he looked up he saw couples together with their children and some without.

Goku breathed out a sigh and started thinking about his family but then he tried to block it all out cause he knew that worrying won't make things better. Goku got up to start walking the trail again and just starred at the trees walking. "Hey goku!" said Katrina coming out of nowhere.

Goku looked surprised cause he thought he wouldn't see her again since they broke up. Goku looked at Katrina and asked if she liked to join him walking and she accepted the invitation. They walked and talked and smiled at each other.

"So goku, how have you been lately?" "Uh..... not so great. I've been in the bed for the last couple of days trying to rest and not worry about my marriage."

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling a little better." "So you haven't got back with your wife?"

"Actually no. It's been very depressing but I'm trying to hold my mind together." "Well I hope everything works out!" said Katrina smiling. "I'm waiting for that to happen." said goku. "Well goku I better be going."

"Hey wait before you go?! I wanted to know how have you been?" "I've been doing fine just working for capsule corp and enjoying my day off I like to take walks in the park sometimes to think and exercise. Well, I better be going it was nice talking to you goku I'll see you later!"

Katrina went her way and goku said goodbye thinking about when they went out and what a good time they had. He was still attracted to her but he knew it wouldn't be a good idea to get involved with her again. Goku headed out the park and went back to master roshi's house.

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

Gohan was in his room doing his homework. "Sometimes they give to many assignments!" Gohan was thinking about what piccolo said to him. He knew what piccolo said was true and now his mom has decided to stop dating ethan which gohan was happy to hear. Sighs. "I can't concentrate having this stupid headache and my stomach hurting at the same time! My mom is a great cook and I never felt this way after I eat and feeling like this doesn't help any. I think I got to many things on my mind?" said gohan putting down his pencil rubbing the side of his head.

There was a knock on the door. "Come in." said gohan. Goten came in the room. "Oh hi goten. What is it that you want?" said gohan sounding irritated.

"Mom told me to bring you some juice." Said goten putting the cranberry juice on his desk. Gohan crack a smile at goten. "Thanks goten." Goten was surprised he said thank you cause he usually doesn't. Gohan felt a sharp pain in his stomach and he bent over a little groaning.

"Big brother are you ok? Should I get mom?" said goten looking at him worried. Gohan sat up slowly. "No goten I'll be ok. I think I'm stressing too much about my homework and I think I ate too much dinner."

"O-k. Are you sure your going to be ok?" said goten. "Yeah I'll be fine." said gohan sitting up in the chair. Goten left out the room closing the door. Gohan went on to finish his homework for the next hour and still was in some pain. When he finished his homework he got up and changed his clothes and went to bed.

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

Krillen walked in the living room and saw goku on the couch watching TV. "Hey goku where were you? We were worried!" "I went for a walk in south city park to ease my mind." "But goku, the doctor told you to rest." Said krillen concerned.

"Krillen, I've been in the bed for I don't know HOW LONG I need to get out and get some air." "Oh THERE you are! Goku, where have you been, we got worried!" said bulma angry.

"I was out walking in the park to get my mind off of worrying! Would you guys relax! I don't feel sick I'm fine!" "No problem goku. We were just being concerned." Said krillen. "Well since it's getting late I'm going to bed. Goodnight guys!" said goku.

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

One week has passed and chichi didn't tell goku about her and ethan she didn't want to be with anyone cause she knew she had to think about her relationship with goku. Goku was up and down with being depressed about his family. Goten was sad that his brother doesn't really like playing with him anymore and he's mean all the time. Gohan wasn't feeling well sometimes and he didn't tell anybody about it. He felt it was no big deal and he could handle it himself.

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

Bray was sitting in his bedroom lying on his bed thinking about how mace threaten him. He didn't want to tell his parent's about it cause trouble would start brewing. The doorbell ringed and his mom answered it an about several people showed up. Bray knew he had to keep his mind together so his mom or dad won't see how trouble he was. Bray got up cause his mother was calling him to come downstairs to serve the guest.

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

Getting into the copter. "It's another party videl!" said erasa excited. "Yeah I know and I hope we don't get into no more accidents like before! My ankle was sore for a week I had to lie to my dad and tell him it was an accident when I was training." Said videl.

"I did the same with my parent's cause they wanted to know where I got the bruise on my shoulder from and I told them I tripped over someone in gym class." Said erasa. "Well it was good gohan protected us or we would have been really hurt bad." said videl. "Yeah that's so weird how he was able to protect us and not get hurt." Said erasa.

"Actually he hurt his ribs and I think it was because we stepped on him and fell on him when the car was flying down the hill."

"Well he's real strong to handle us." Said erasa. "Well we better watch out for drena cause she has her eye on gohan!" said videl. "Yeah I know she's such a slut! Gohan is too sweet to go out with somebody like her!" said erasa.

"But remember erasa were not going out with him so let's not act like it!" "I know but let's try not to let drena get her way!" said erasa. "Don't worry erasa gohan, is a big boy he can handle her!" said videl. "I know." said erasa.

"Well were here at bray's house and it looks crowed!" said videl. They landed and got out. "Yeah and you can hear the music too! Let's hurry videl!" said erasa excited.

They both went to the door and the butler opened the door and they walked in and it was more crowed then last time. Bray approached both erasa and videl. "Hey girls what's up?!"

"Hey kool party bray it looks like more people then last time?" said erasa. "Yeah I believe it is my parent's love to throw big party's." said bray. "So where's Brandon?" asked videl.

"He's here somewhere probably getting drunk!" said bray. "Speaking of Brandon here he comes now!" said erasa.

"Hey guys what's up! Kool party bray!" said Brandon. "I thought you were over there getting drunk with some of those girls?!" said bray. "Well I haven't got drunk yet but I will be soon!" said Brandon smiling.

Bray turned his head looking around the room and he saw mace and zedrick. Bray felt his stomach dropped to his knees. Bray didn't know mace was going to show up. He started to feel nervous on the inside and thought about just ignoring him. "Hey earth to bray are you there?" said videl.

Bray came out of his thoughts. "Oh sorry I was daydreaming."

"Well come back to reality man! You don't want to miss your party! Hey, where's gohan I haven't seen him yet?!" said Brandon. Bray felt nervous on the inside just by mentioning gohan's name.

"Maybe he's on his way!" said videl. "Hey their he is!" said erasa. Gohan walked up to them with a soda in his hand. "Hey guys! Great party bray!" said gohan. "We thought you wasn't here!" said Brandon. "You know me I have to get out the house!" said gohan.

"Well guys let's not just stand here let's party!" said bray. Everyone split up and went different ways to go dance and play games and eat. A whole two hours passed and bray wanted to go on one of his adventures and this time he used the caravan.

Brandon, videl, erasa and gohan with bray driving got in the caravan and took off far out in the woods to another one of his parent's houses. They all arrived and went in the house that had five bedrooms a big family room and living room and an upstairs. "You have a lovely home here!" said videl. "Yeah, it is exciting!" said erasa.

"Ok guys let's go to my favorite room and have some drinks." said bray. "Now your talking bray!" said Brandon.

They all went to the back room and bray pulled out of the refrigerator wine, champagne, beer and plenty more. "Well let's dig in so I can get relaxed here!" said gohan. "Oh, someone's being a bad boy tonight." said erasa. "Hey that stuff is relaxing sometimes." Said gohan.

Bray poured the drinks and gave them out. About an hour later everyone was high but still in control cause everyone decided not to drink too much this time. Gohan wasn't high at all cause he only had a couple of glasses of champagne. "Hey bray why don't we spend the night here!" said Brandon. "I don't know man then, that does sound like a good idea!" said bray.

"Hey let's play marko polo and I'll be it!" said videl. They dim the lights and started running around and the game went on for about an hour and then a flash a lightning came out of nowhere and it scared erasa and videl and then someone knocked on the door. "Who is knocking on the door? No one knows we were out here!" said bray.

Bray went to the door and it was drena. "Hey guys!" walking in with out being asked. Then another flash of lighting and thunder took place that scared everybody. "I didn't know it was going to rain?" said Brandon. "Me either!" said bray.

"What are you doing here, drena?" said erasa. "Oh I just stop by to see what everyone was doing! It looks like you guys been having some fun." Said drena. Brandon closed the door. "Well drena since your already here you might as well have some fun and join us." Said bray. Another flash of lightning with thunder was real loud and it started raining. "I hate thunder storms." Said erasa feeling scared.

"It just had to rain!" said videl. "Hey guys no problem will just find something else to do." Said bray. "I think I just want to relax for a while! Cause when it's raining and lightening I like to keep still." said brandon. "You guys are a bunch of chickens we can just play some cards!" said bray.

Another flash of lightening happen with thunder real loud and the lights went out and the girls screamed. Bray went to go get a flashlight so he could light a candle. "Hey just calm down girls it's ok!" said Brandon. Bray came back with a flashlight so he could light a candle and when he lighted the candle he saw all the girls clinging to gohan who was being smothered.

"Man gohan I knew you like girls but man you're a magnet!" said Brandon. "Thanks for the compliment Brandon but would you help me OUT HERE before they all STRANGLE ME!" said gohan irritated. "Hey girls your smothering gohan." said Brandon. "I'm sorry gohan but I just got scared!" said erasa letting go. "Me too!" said videl. "Yeah me three!" said drena.

They all let go of gohan. There was some light inside the room with the two candles Brandon lit. "Is everyone all right?!" said bray. "Brandon I think we better leave it, may not be a good idea being out here in this storm." Said Brandon.

"Guys I don't think it's a good idea to go anywhere it's pouring down raining and it's totally dark outside!" said videl looking out the window. "Yeah, videls right! All the lights are out around here." said erasa. "Will since we all are out here we better just spread out and relax." said bray.

"Hey gohan why don't we share the couch?" said drena putting her arm around gohan. Erasa moved drenas hand. "Excuse YOU but aren't you being a little to fast?!" said erasa. "No I'm NOT and WHAT is it to you?!" said drena. "Oh will you two STOP THIS!" said videl.

"Look guys I'm going upstairs. Don't BOTHER ME unless there is an emergency!" said gohan getting off the couch and leaving to go upstairs. "See what you DID?!!" said erasa. "I didn't do anything!" said drena. "Ok guys let's stop the arguing that's why gohan left so he doesn't have to hear you two argue!" said Brandon. "Well why don't all of us just find a room and relax cause I am sort of sleepy." Said bray. Videl noticed that gohan was sort of quiet and looked tired going upstairs she figured he must have had a long week.

Erasa and videl went in the bedroom that was downstairs and drena just stayed on the couch hoping that she could get a chance to talk with gohan. Gohan went into the room. He could see some cause there was a small lamp that was controlled by a battery that was a night-light.

He was glad he came from downstairs cause he was starting to feel sick again. He sat down on the bed. He knew it was that same pain again radiating through his head and stomach that he's had for the last week in a half and he started to feel worst. "Uh! Why does my head and stomach keep hurting? I didn't really eat anything!" said gohan. Gohan layed down so that he could feel better but it didn't seem to help with the loud thunder outside it seem to feel worst.
