Ch.9: Break up
"Jetta! Are you awake yet? You're going to be late for school!" Bulma shouted knocking on Jetta's bedroom door. Bulma went inside when there was no answer. She found Jetta asleep in her bed, cuddled in her blankets. Bulma walked over and gently shook Jetta. Jetta opened her eyes and slowly sat up. The blankets slid off Jetta's shoulders showing Bulma a large bruise on Jetta's arm barely hidden under her shirt. "Jetta you're going to be late for school." Jetta instantly woke up and looked at her clock.
"Oh man." Jetta mumbled throwing her blankets off and running to the bathroom. Bulma sat on the edge of Jetta's bed.
'I knew Vegeta was working her too hard. He wasn't even this tough with Trunks.' Bulma thought before Trunks came to the doorway.
"Where's Jetta?" He asked.
"She's running late today Trunks so why don't you go on to school." Bulma said. Trunks nodded.
"Okay." He left the room. Bulma soon heard water running through a shower. Bulma went downstairs, picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end said.
"Gohan, this is Bulma. Could you do me a little favor?"
"Sure Bulma what can I do for you?"
"You have Jetta in class today right."
"Yes."
"Do you think you could keep her after school today for a couple of hours?"
"I'm sure I could Bulma." Gohan replied. "Is something wrong over there?"
"Vegeta has been pushing Jetta too hard with her training and I would like to talk to him about it while Jetta isn't home." Bulma answered.
"I understand." Gohan said. "I'll just have project time after school for her group."
"Thank you Gohan."
"No problem Bulma." Bulma hung up when the conversation ended. As soon as she did Jetta came in with a long sleeve black shirt and jeans hiding her bruises. Her still damp hair was up in a ponytail.
"Has Trunks already left?" She asked putting her shoes on her feet.
"Yes." Bulma answered. "You've got ten minutes before school starts." Jetta groaned and headed out the door.
*Later ~Gohan's class~*
Gohan sat at his desk grading papers when Jetta and her two friends Madison and Keisha came in.
"Jetta could you come here please." Jetta left her friends and came up to Gohan's desk.
"Yes?" Gohan put his pen down.
"How is your project going?" He asked.
"It's okay. We've still got a lot to do though." Jetta answered.
"I see. How would you and your partners like to stay after school for some extra work time?" Gohan asked. Jetta raised an eyebrow.
"I thought you said we couldn't have after school assistance from you." Gohan had forgotten about that detail. Gohan had to think of something quick.
"It's just for work time. I won't be assisting you." Jetta didn't seem to buy it.
"This has nothing to do with the fact I'm a friend of Serena's would it?" She questioned.
"No of course not."
"Thank you anyway Mr. Son but we don't need the extra time. We're making great progress." Jetta said turning to go to her seat.
"Jetta wait." Jetta turned back to Gohan. "Your mother called me this morning. She asked me to keep you here for a few hours so she could talk to your father." Gohan said lowering his voice. "She told me about how hard he's been pushing you. Now as your instructor I want you to be able to finish your assignment. But as your friend I am looking out for your safety." Jetta gave him a small smile.
"Gohan I appreciate it. You could have just told me that. But I'd rather go to Madison's house than stay at school. No offense." Gohan smiled.
"None taken. Now go on to your seat before the bell rings." Jetta returned to her seat next to her friends while the bell rang and Gohan began his lesson.
*After School*
"Hey Maddie do you mind if I stay at your house for a couple of hours?" Jetta asked as they waited for the bus.
"Sure. But don't you wanna call your mom first?" Madison asked pulling out her cell phone.
"No my mom kinda wants me to get lost for a few hours."
"Dad dilemma again?" Keisha asked as the three boarded their bus.
"Isn't it always?" Jetta replied taking her seat in the back.
"What did he do this time?" Madison asked accidentally hitting Jetta's arm causing her to wince. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jetta answered rubbing her arm slightly. Madison took Jetta's arm and rolled the sleeve up until she saw the bruise.
"Did your dad to do this to you?" Keisha asked as Madison rolled the sleeve back down.
"Yes but we were training. You know the Martial Arts tournament is only a month away." Jetta said.
"I know you Jetta and you don't bruise easily." Jetta just shrugged.
"So we got a little out of hand. No big deal." Jetta replied. Madison sighed.
"If you say so." She said. "I know of some herbs that can take care of that. We should stop by the mall and get some." Jetta and Keisha agreed noticing the mall was the next stop on the bus route. They walked in and immediately saw Rei and Lita.
"Hey guys!" Lita shouted coming up to them.
"Hey Lita, hey Rei." Jetta greeted. "So what are you guys doing here?" She asked as they all walked around in the mall.
"It's a reward for training as much as we do." Rei answered.
"Wish my father did that." Jetta mumbled. They went in the herbal store for Madison's herbs. When they came out Keisha noticed a blonde standing at a corner seemingly searching for someone.
"Hey, isn't that Jedite?" She said pointing at him.
"Yeah it is." Jetta frowned a bit. "I thought he was training with Darien and Trunks." Jetta walked up behind him. "Jedite?" Jedite jumped slightly and turned around. His features seemed to fall when he saw her.
"I knew I felt your ki here." He muttered gently taking her arm. "Can we talk privately?"
"Of course." Jedite led her to an empty bathroom locking the door behind him.
"What is it Jedite?" Jetta asked noticing Jedite's distress. Jedite breathed deeply.
"Jetta what I have to tell you isn't easy for me to do." He paused, studying Jetta's confused face. "We---" Jedite couldn't continue.
"We what Jedite?" Jetta asked cocking her head to the side. Jedite swallowed difficulty.
"We have to break up." Jedite turned his face away so he couldn't see the shock on Jetta's face.
"What? What do you mean we have to break up?" Jedite didn't even look at Jetta.
"We just do." Jedite turned to leave before Jetta caught his arm.
"Why?" She forced Jedite to look in her tear filled eyes. "What has gotten into you?"
"I can't tell you Jetta. Please just trust me on this." Jetta refused to listen.
"Jedite tell me." She demanded. Jedite didn't respond. "As princess of Earth and the Saiyan race I order you to tell me!" Jedite closed his eyes feeling his own eyes sting with tears.
"Your father." He said almost inaudibly.
"What does my father have to do with this?" Jetta's voice hardened with emotion.
"Your father said that if I didn't break up with you, he would kill you and make me watch." Jetta gasped.
"You don't actually believe him do you?" A tear fell from Jetta's eye.
"I wish I didn't." Jedite said wiping the crystalline drop away. "But I don't want to take that chance." Jetta lowered her face and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry." Jedite whispered in her ear before kissing her cheek and leaving the bathroom. Jetta backed against the wall and slid down it until the floor stopped her. She covered her face with her hands as she sobbed silently. She soon heard the door open. Jetta looked up and saw her friends. All had concerned looks on their face.
"Jetta what happened?" Madison asked as she and Rei helped Jetta up.
"He broke up with me." Jetta said using water from the sink to clean her face.
"You've got to be kidding me." Lita mumbled. Jetta shook her head as Keisha handed her a towel to dry her face.
"I'm not." Jetta said as her face took on a very angry look. She took a few steps to the door. "You guys might want to plan a visit to the penitentiary soon." She mumbled opening the door.
"Why?" Rei wondered. Jetta gripped the door handle so hard it bent slightly as her eyes hardened.
"Because," Her voice held a dangerous tone to it, "I am going to kill my father!" Jetta growled leaving the rest of the girls in shock because knowing Vegjetta Briefs, she would do it.
But will she really?? Review and find out.
