Chapter 6
The week went by very quickly for Lorelai and Trunks. It was already the last day of there wonderful trip in Florida. While they were there they went to different restaurants and boutique stores. Lorelai bought some souvenirs for her brother Hiroshi. Also, Trunks bought her some jewelry to wear. He said that since she didn't have any of her own, she would look pretty with some around her neck. Also, he was her boyfriend, and would buy anything for her, as long as she was happy. Everyone started to head back to the bus. Lorelai and Trunks got on and took there seats in the back. Finally the girls stopped bugging them, but they were still not happy about the whole situation. After everyone was on, the bus took off back to the airport. Lorelai was glowing with happiness. She couldn't wait to get back and see her brother. Even though it was only a week, she missed him to death. She also wanted him to meet Trunks. Boy would he be in for a shock.
"Hey Trunks can I tell ya something?" asked Lorelai.
"Sure what is it Lorelai?" said Trunks.
"Well up until I met you I was having these weird dreams" said Lorelai. "I would have the same dream every night. It was always about a bus and you. I think my dreams were telling me that I was going to meet you, and something was going to happen."
"Well we did meet on the bus" said Trunks smiling. "And you are my girlfriend now. So I'd say that your dreams tell the future."
"Do ya know why I'm so happy?" asked Lorelai.
"I don't know" said Trunks smirking. "Why?"
"Because I have you" said Lorelai leaning over to give him a kiss. "And I can't wait to see my brother again."
"I'd like to meet your brother" said Trunks.
"Ya will" said Lorelai smiling. "I'm sure he'd like to meet you too."
After the plane landed in Japan, there bus took them back to Kyoto. Awhile later it was pitch dark outside. The soothing sound of the bus moving was making Lorelai sleepy. So she told Trunks that she was going to go to sleep for a little bit. He said ok and gave her a kiss. Lorelai got comfortable in the seat, and brought her covers up to her neck, and closed her eyes. Trunks decided to stay up a little more before he went to sleep. He looked around; everyone else was either sleeping, or starting to. Then he looked over at Lorelai and smiled. She had a peaceful smile on her face. He was so glad to meet her; in a way he could thank all the girls who always bugged him. If it wasn't for them, then he would have never met Lorelai. Trunks was just about to fall sleep, when suddenly out of nowhere, a car cut off the bus and sped off down the lane. The kids in the car were drunk, and were cursing and singing out the window. The driver tried to keep the bus in control, but nothing was working. He even tried the emergency break, but it was stuck. A bus was just too big to try and stop. The driver couldn't hold it anymore and swerved off the road. The bus started flipping over and over again as it went down the hill. Windows breaking each time it flipped, kids screaming in pain as they were getting crushed by the weight of the bus. Some even praying so they might live. The bus started to get crushed inward as it finally crashed into a tree and came to a stop. Everything was quiet, and no one was moving. Then suddenly, Trunks slowly opened his eyes, he was lying across the bus on another seat. He started groaning, and slowly got up. His head was pounding; he went to go touch his head, and felt blood on his hand. When the blurriness stop and he could see, he slowly looked around the bus. No one was moving, or awake. Trunks started to panic and tried to look around to see if he could find Lorelai, but he didn't see her anywhere. Then all of a sudden, he heard someone crying. He slowly got up and looked under the seat. There was Lorelai crying underneath his seat on the floor. Trunks's heart skipped a beat as he crawled under there to see if she was alright.
"Lorelai" said Trunks touching her cheek. Lorelai looked up to see Trunks's face in front of her. She quickly went to go hug him, but pulled back away in pain. Then she started to cry louder then before. Trunks looked down and saw that her leg was sticking in a different position. There was blood coming down her forehead, and cuts and bruises on her arms and legs.
"Trunks it hurts so badly" said Lorelai trying to calm down.
"Lorelai its ok I'm here" said Trunks. "We have to get out of here. I'm gonna try to pick you up. I know that you're in a lot of pain so I'll try to be careful." Lorelai shook her head as he picked her up a little bit. Little by little he carefully got back up on his two feet with Lorelai quietly crying into his chest from the pain. As Trunks started moving towards the front of the bus, he suddenly got sick to his stomach. No one was alive except him and Lorelai. All those people were dead, all because of a stupid car cutting them off. He shook his head to get the horrible thoughts from his mind. All he cared about now was getting himself and Lorelai out of the bus. Lorelai didn't want to open her eyes. She didn't want to see what everyone else looked like. Trunks kicked open the buses doors and walked carefully down the steps.
"It's ok now Lorelai" said Trunks. "Were outside now." Lorelai slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Trunks.
"I'm so glad that you're alright" said Lorelai hugging him tighter. "I'm really cold" She started shivering.
"Listen I'm going to go back into the bus to get your covers and my capsules" said Trunks. "We need to get you help quickly."
"Alright Trunks" said Lorelai as he placed her down carefully on a tree stump. Trunks walked quickly back into the bus, and went over to where there seats used to be. He found Lorelai's covers on the ground off to the side. Luckily none of it was ripped. He found his bag really quickly, all his and Lorelai stuff were still above there seats. He picked up his bag with his capsules and Lorelai's things and quickly got out of the bus. It was starting to smell really bad in there. He went back over to where he left Lorelai; she was starting to close her eyes. Trunks ran over to her.
"Lorelai you have to stay awake for me" said Trunks putting her covers around her.
"I'm so sleepy Trunks" said Lorelai trying to keep her eyes open.
"I know you're tired from all the blood, but you can't go to sleep" said Trunks. "Promise me that you won't go to sleep."
"Ok Trunks I promise" said Lorelai smiling. "I love you."
"I love you too" said Trunks. "I'm going to call my mom so she can get help." Trunks pulled out the capsule that had the phone in it, and threw it on the ground. He quickly dialed the number to his house, and waited for someone to pick up the phone. Lorelai suddenly got a sharp pain through her leg, and started to cry again from all the pain. After a couple of seconds, his mom picked up the phone.
"Hello Bulma Briefs speaking" said Bulma drowsily trying to figure out who would call her 3 in the morning.
"Mom, wake up" said Trunks as he shouted into the phone with a panicky voice. Bulma suddenly opened her eyes in shock and looked at the screen to see her son all bruised up and looking at her.
"OMG Trunks what happened to you" said Bulma scared. "Where's Lorelai?"
"Mom the bus got into an accident. A car cut off the bus, and the driver lost control. The bus went off the road and crashed into a tree" said Trunks starting to cry a little. "Mom everyone is dead on the bus except me and Lorelai. I need to get help quickly mom Lorelai's leg is broken, and she's starting to get sleepy for all the blood that she's lost."
"Ok son just tell me where you are" said Bulma. Trunks quickly ran up the hill to see if there was anything that said where they were. There off on the side of the road was a sign saying that they were a mile from the Joetsu exit. He then quickly turned around and ran back to the phone.
"Mom were by a sign that says Joetsu exit 1 mile" said Trunks out of breath.
"Alright Trunks I'll get your father and we'll get there as quick as we can" said Bulma.
"Alright mom" said Trunks. "I'm going to get help for Lorelai. You just get here as quick as you can." He quickly said goodbye to his mom, and hung up the phone. Trunks dialed 911 and started tapping his foot quickly on ground. When someone finally got on the phone, he told then what happened and they asked if anyone was alive besides him. He told them that his girlfriend was alive, but she needed help fast. They told him that they would be there as fast as they could. He said thank you and hung up the phone. Trunks recapsuled his phone and put it away. Then he ran back over to Lorelai. She was still awake but barely.
"Lorelai I got help" said Trunks lightly touching her cheek. She was starting to turn blue. "There coming as quickly as the can."
"Ok Trunks" said Lorelai quietly.
It was around 4 in the morning when Trunks started to hear sirens, so he got up and ran up the hill. There coming down the street was ambulances, and police cars. Trunks went out onto the middle of the road, and started waving his arms to get there attention. They slowed down to where Trunks was. Once they got out, Trunks told them where Lorelai and the rest of them were. So they followed him down the hill until he reached Lorelai. The paramedics carefully worked on Lorelai so that they wouldn't cause her any pain. While they were helping Lorelai, Trunks parents arrived and went to see if he was ok. The paramedics stopped the bleeding that was coming from Lorelai's leg. Trunks saw that she started to get some color back into her face. Lorelai wouldn't let anyone pick her up, but Trunks, so he carefully picked her up and carried her to the ambulance. He got in with Lorelai, and they took off towards the nearest hospital with Trunks's parents following them.
