Author's Note: Welcome back. I hope everything is going simply super wherever you are. I started school and got my tongue pierced. Man did it hurt. Thanks for waiting. Here's your chapter!

ººº

It had almost been a full two weeks since the thing I call 'the incident'. I was feeling deep regret and anger for myself. If only I hadn't have gone to that stupid party. If only I wouldn't have left my damned orange juice just laying around so that some idiotic person could just so happen to slip something into my drink. I'm an ass. I hate myself, I hate myself, I hate myself. She was my baby. My baby girl.

To make matters worse, I had gotten fired from not only one job, but both because I didn't have the will to get up and go into work in the morning. I was in a complete state of mourning. I stopped eating and I lost a lot of weight my body wasn't prepared to lose. So did Goku. He lost the fire to his eyes. Even when he smiled, even when he laughed. I could see it in his eyes. I knew he was trying not to cry.

I became suspicious for a while. If the baby wasn't going to be around, why would Goku be? Doesn't he have better things to do than look after me? Honestly he's so hot he could have almost any girl in the school.

Mom was extremely accomodating to the situation I was currently in. She made a little set up in front of the TV in the living room. On the coffee table in front of me, there were various objects. A teen magazine, a pen and notebook, a box of tissues, and the control. Next to the couch was a trash basket, which I often threw my tear filled rags into.

I remained in that set-up all day, everytday watching soap operas and talkshows. My favorite soap was 'The Orange Star Stars'. Brittney was two-timing her boyfriend Fredric for some guy she met at a rock concert. Meanwhile, Fredric's brother Matthew was planning to get married to his pregnant girlfriend Jenna.

It was a really intense scene between Jenna and Matthew. Jenna's blue eyes sparkled with hate and malice as the bored into Matthew. Matthew appeared to be oblivous.

"I don't want to have your baby." She said angrily through gritted teeth.

"What do you mean?" Matthew said, extremely upset by her previous statement.

" I want an abortion!" She shouted angrily, then stormed out of the room in an obvious huff.

"YOU STUPID BITCH!" I screamed, throwing a used tissue at the two actors on the TV.

Goku then walked through the door. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Who were you yelling at?"

"Jenna is getting an abortion." I said spitefully.

He rolled his eyes. "You are getting way too into these shows."

He sat down with me to watch the rest of my soap opera. I got up and went to the kitchen for some water and pretzels. This was going to be my happy little meal for the day. I returned to the couch and began to munch. I'm sure Goku didn't mean to do it, or even realized it for that matter, but he reached over and stole a few pretzels out of the bag. I stood up and ran to my room with my food screaming 'MY DINNER!' every step.

I was genuinely upset that Goku was eating my pretzels and I could tell you why or how, but I felt betrayed. 'I'm just hormonal' I thought to myself. Hormonal. Yeah, that's it.

Mom came home that day with a serious look on her face. She said she wanted to talked to me about something after dinner. I sat at the table and ate nothing, but looked longingly on to Goku's plate that was filled with steak and potatoes. Goku cleared his setting then got up from the table and began to walk away. I tried to follow suit.

"No Chi-Chi, stay here."

I looked at her like a scolded puppy dog and slumped unhappily back into my chair. Why was everyone being so mean? First Goku stole my food and then she yells at me to sit down.

"Listen," she said setting down her glass after taking a long drink onf water. "I knoe these past weeks have been absolutely terrible for you, but honestly, I'm having very conflicting emotions right now." She stuck out her left hand. "On one side I can see that this is part of the grieving process and you're embracing the gift of life and that of death."

She held out her other hand. "On the other, you haven't even left the house for the past two weeks, talked to anyone other than Goku or I, and have barely left your space in front of the television. That's not right."

"What's your point?" I snapped.

She looked at me with a look less than plesant. "I'm saying that you're not just grieving. In my eyes, you're being downright anti-social."

"Excuse me!" I yelled at her and stood up.

"You're using this mistake as a scape goat to get or to do what you what when you want." She explained. "You wanted the computer? You brought it up. You wanted special food? You brought it up and then had the audacity to say that you weren't hungry anymore!

"But I miscarried!" I whinned.

"You just did it again!"

"What do you know about this anyway?" I yelled at her then turned to walk away.

"I KNOW PLENTY!" She yelled. "I miscarried three times. THREE GOD DAMNED TIME! You can't say to me that I've never felt the way you do. You think you've been to hell and back? Try it three-fold." She thre her napkin violently to her plate. "I called the school today and they'll be having two new students. You and Goku start Monday."

I tried to bitch her out, but to no avail. She simply got up from her place at the table and went to her room upstairs to watch TV.

"I HATE YOU!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, tears running down my face. "I HATE THIS FUCKING HOUSE AND YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR!" I raced upstairs to my room then slammed the door.

Half an hour later, I heard a knock.

"Go away!" I shouted.

"Chi, don't do this to me." Goku said sounding exasperated. He opened the door and invited himself in.

"Come on, don't you want to go to school again?" He asked, sitting on my bed beside me.

"No." I said like a stubborn 4 year old. He frowned.

"You wanna know something?" He asked. "Mom is right. You've been taking this way too far and now you've crossed the line. What the hell do you intend to do all day? Sit and watch your dumb ass soap operas when I finish my senior year?"

I glared at him but kept silent.

"Whatever," He said getting up and walking over to my door. "I knew that this was a complete lost cause anyway."

"Wait," I found myself saying. "Come back."

He turned around and looked at me. He examined my face for a minute, seeing if I really meant it. He came back to my bed and sat down. He started picking at his finger nails.

"Ya know, I feel bad saying this, but I kind of see this miscarrage in a brand new light. It's not like I don't regret it or anything, but I can see that we weren't mature enough to be parents yet. We'll try again after we're married, don't worry."

Hearing it from Goku really made me realize that it wasn't just some scheme to make me mad. I was honestly getting to be a problem. In a way I felt accomplished, like I had done something good, but the other half felt wretched.

I put my arms around his neck and held him close. His arms went around my waist and we kissed deeply and passionately. I leaned back on the bed so that his body would rest on top of mine. I slowly unbuttoned his pants.

He picked his head up and looked at me. "I said we'd try again when we're married, not now."

I smiled at him and laughed. We got up. "Hey Goku? Where's the phone? I have to call Bulma and Marron."

So there wasn't much time until school was going to start up for the both of us again. I called the girls and we planned to go out and see a movie and go shopping with our parent's credit cards. I was preoccupied in trying to find the perfect 'back to school' outfit.

"Ooh, Chi! This is soooo super cute!" Bulma said holding up a dark purple tube top. "You'd totally make the guys go wild!"

Marron and I exchanged looks which even Bulma could read. She rolled her eyes. "Fine, then I'm gonna get it."

We shopped and shopped and shopped. Many of Bulma's bags were distributed between Marron and I, seeing at Bulma was already weighed down beyond what she could carry. We made a quick stop to Bulma's Ford Explorer to drop her bags off and then continued.

We walked in to a larger chain store and saw fancy dresses in all types of colors, styles, and textures. "Oh my god, I completely forgot about prom." Marron said, slapping a hand to her forehead.

"You're not the only one." I said, fingering a lime green dress. We both looked to Bulma. She shrugged.

"The girls from the basketball team made me buy mine right after Homecoming." She rolled her eyes. "Apparently they're all planning to steal the spotlight."

"So everyone has a dress," I sighed. "Except for us."

"How about we make ours this year? It would definately be original, and a hell of a lot cheaper." Marron offered.

"I could always use my wedding dress..." I trailed off. "No, that kinda ruins the reason for the dress doesn't it?"

"Not only that but it was made for a 6 month pregnant woman in mind."

"Shit!"

"Yeah, don't worry about it, guys. We'll all be stars on prom night." Bulma crossed her fingers. "I just hope it doesn't turn out like Homecoming."

"True that." Marron said, nodding in agreement.

Sunday came around and I found myself crawling around the house at 8 o clock. No one was up, and I was bored out of my mind. It was crazy what I did next. I got into the shower, put on a skirt and a button up shirt, got into my car and drove to the church my dad and I used to go to.

I sat in the back pew, looking around and thinking 'This is where it all started'. I got a phone call that day from my two best friends and they told me he was here. And he almost kissed me...

I smiled to myself. I knew that I wasn't alone in this whole school thing after all. I had my two best friends, my boyfriend and Mom to help me out. And I was able to go to my junior prom with my fiance.

Life was looking up.

Author's Note: It got SUPER bad there at the end. I apologize! The next chapter: school and prom prep! Man, being here makes me super jealous of anyone who is going to their prom this year. I'm missing my junior prom in the states to be here... At the very least I'm so happy I have my senior prom next year!

ENJOY THE PROM YOU GUYS!

Thanks to everyone who reviewed! See you next chapter!
