Last time:
"This guy...we used to date... but then he..." Karine looked down to the ground and ran to her room with tears running down her face.
Bulma and Chi-chi got out of their hiding place, and walked over to Deryck with questioned looks on their faces.
"What was that all about?" Bulma asked.
"I have no idea." Deryck said as he headed for her room.
(Knock Knock)
"Go away." Karine said.
"Karine, it's me Deryck. Can I come in?" Deryck asked.
There was silence. Deryck opened the door and saw Karine on her bed crying with her face buried in her pillows. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing. Please go." Karine said.
"Not until you talk to me." He said as he walked over to her and sat next to her. He lightly lifter her upper body up so he could see her face. Her cheeks were red, and there were tears dripping from her eyes. She looked at him for a moment until he fell forward into his arms. She buried her face into his chest and cried. She lifted her head up a it and started talking.
"It was horrible." She said. "He...he..." Karine started.
"Wait, lets start easy. Who's HE?"
"Jake. You see, he was my boyfriend."
"What did you do to you."
"He... he abused me." She said crying all over again. Deryck was silent.
'How could someone do that to her.' He thought. "At first it was alright. We were fine. Then he started smoking and drinking, and he did terrible things. He almost raped me too. One time, he was really drunk, and he pounded on my door and tried to sleep with me." Karine sniffed. "Then, he started hitting me, and cutting me." Karine winced at the thoughts. "That's one big reason that I moved. But he found me again." She said as she shivered.
"It's okay, he won't hurt you again." Deryck said.
"No, you're wrong. He has an obsession with me. My last boyfriend ended up in the hospital for a week. Then he broke up with me because of Jake. Jake hit him with his car. Jake won't leave me alone." She said getting up. She pulled out a tissue and wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry."
"Why?" Deryck asked.
"That you had to hear this." Karine said. Deryck smiled and got up and went next to her.
"Look, no matter what, he can't hurt you again. Not as long as I'm around." He smiled again.
"Thank you." Karine smiled. "We might as well go down. Everyone must be wondering where we've gone off to." She grabbed his hand and walked out.
Bulma and Chi-chi were sitting down with worried faces on. Then, Karine and Deryck walked down. They looked up and saw Karine smiling. Even though they knew it was fake, they smiled too. "What happened?" Chi-chi asked.
Before Karine could answer, Deryck said, "Nothing." They sat down and started a conversation. "So, weren't we going to go to a theme park or something?"
"Oh." Bulma smacked her palm against her forehead. "Yeah, Let's get going. No time to waste!" Bulma said.
"Okay, since we have 3 cars. Why don't we go in pairs." Chi-chi suggested.
"Yeah. That would be great." Goku said. "Vegeta and Bulma, Me and Chi-chi, and Karine and Deryck."
"Let's go." Vegeta said from the corner. They all laughed and left.
Karine went with Deryck, Bulma with Vegeta, and Chi-chi with Goku. Deryck and Goku followed Vegeta's car.
Vegeta's car
"Vegeta, what do you think happened?" Bulma asked.
"Woman, what are you blabbering about?" Vegeta said.
"WELL, if you didn't notice from before, someone came and then Karine left."
"Stop meddling with people's lives."
"Excuse me! Karine happens to be my friend, and I'll be damned if someone bothers her."
"Whatever woman."
Goku's car.
"Goku, something's wrong." Chi-chi said.
"I know, I'm still hungry." He said with a nod of disapproval.
"No! That's not what I meant." Chi-chi said. "I mean with Karine.".
"Oh, I didn't notice. Her food tasted great."
"Are you saying my food doesn't?"
"No, no that's not it. Chi-chi you r food is good."
"ONLY GOOD!" Chi-chi screamed. "Goku Son. Do not talk to me!" Chi-chi said and that was the end of their conversation.
Deryck's car
"So, where do you want to go?" Deryck asked.
"Pardon?" Karine asked. Deryck laughed at her response, but said.
"I mean, for our second date."
"Oh, ummm, I don't know."
"Then I have an idea. I'll pick you up at 8:00 Friday?" Deryck asked peeking at Karine while driving.
"Okay." Karine said.
-
Not long after, they all arrived at Peril Island. While looking for parking space, Vegeta found one and quickly got in. Deryck followed his example. Goku kept turning around in circles, and every time there was a spot, another car would quickly pull in. Goku was way too slow. "GOKU!" Chi-chi screamed. "PARK!"
"Chi-chi, I'm trying." He said with a frown. Then, there was a spot, and another car. The other car was getting closer, and Goku was slow! Chi-chi pushed Goku's knee and made him go faster. They made it in the spot, and Chi-chi took out her tongue to the other driver.
They walked towards the entrance and saw the four other waiting. "What took ya?" Karine asked.
"Goku has driving problems." Chi-chi said as Goku gave a toothy grin.
"Whatever. Let's go." Vegeta said while Karine distributed the tickets.
They all entered and ran to the closest roller coaster. "Systemania." It happened to be the biggest roller coaster. Karine read the sign and walked back to the gang. "You know what, I think I'll sit this one out." Karine said with a grin as she tried running. Deryck had held her hand before she could move.
"Why?" Deryck asked.
"I'm...afraid." Karine said looking down. Deryck lifted her chin so she would meet eye to eye with him.
"You have to learn to overcome your fears." Deryck said with a smile.
"Not today!" Karine said.
"yes today. Don't worry. I'll be right there next to you." He said.
"Fine." Karine said. "Hey Bulma."
"Yeah?" Bulma asked.
"Is it okay if I ride this one with Deryck?"
"It's fine. I'm sure Vegeta won't mind riding with me." Bulma said as she leaned against Vegeta.
"Shit." Vegeta said with a smirk.
"Ha ha!" Bulma said. "For that remark, I'm going to scream extra loud." She said proudly.
They found out soon enough that it was a 600-foot drop down. "You can't be serious!" Karine yelled, and the whole line glared at her. "Hehe...sorry." Karine said hiding behind Goku.
"Come on... It won't be that bad!" Deryck said dragging her out.
"Yes, yes it will." Karine said as she made a run for it. Deryck caught up and lifted her up and carried her back. "Hey! That's not fair!"
"Yes it is." Deryck said as he walked to the front where their friends were. It was finally their turn, and they all go it and buckled, then pulled the bar down. Karine was trembling, and Bulma yelled out from the front.
"Karine, chill, it'll be fun!" Bulma said as the coaster started moving. They had reached the top. Then, They dropped. They all screamed, and Karine gripped onto Deryck's Jacket, and held onto him tight.
"Is it over?" Karine asked slightly opening one of her eyes.
"Nope." He said as they dropped.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Karine screamed. Deryck looked at her and started laughing. When the ride was over, they got out, well, all except for Karine. She was shaking.
"Karine...it's over." He said as she crawled out. They walked over to a corner where the photo's were, of when they dropped, and there was Goku with a smile along with Chi-chi who had her hands up. Bulma was doing the same as Chi-chi, and Vegeta was sitting with his arms crossed. Then, the funniest of all, which was Karine holding onto the bar, while Deryck laughed at her. Bulma walked to the counter and purchased the one of Karine and Deryck.
"This is a good one." She smiled and gave it to Deryck. Karine just laughed at how odd she looked. He hair was up and she had had her eyes shit and was squeezing the bar.
Next, they got cotton candy and went on a few more rides. Then, they went to the love boat. Vegeta had objected to this, but was blackmailed by Bulma into doing it.
They all got in with their dates, and held onto each other. They were in swan boats, and there was soft music playing. Vegeta was forced to hold Bulma, while Goku gladly held Chi-chi. Luckily, she had forgiven him about the 'food insult.' Then, there was Karine and Deryck, just next to each other looking around silently.
Once the ride was over, they decided to call it a night and leave, but Karine wanted to go to one more place, the merry-go-round. So they agreed that they would leave, and then Deryck could take Karine home.
"So, why did you want to come here?" Deryck asked. There were no kids or anyone, but the worker, and the two (Deryck and Karine).
"I haven't been on one before." Karine said. She hopped onto a black horse and Deryck just stood next to her. The machine went on, and Karine went up and down. "Hey, this is actually fun." Karine said and let a giggle escape her lips.
"I'm glad." Deryc said, then his phone rang. He picked it up to hear a familiar voice. "Hello?"
"Hey Deryck."
"Samamntha?"
"Yeah, I was wondering if you wanted to come over tonight. My parents are away, and we could have some 'fun'."
"Samamntha, I am not your boyfriend, and I'm not interested in you. I have to go. Bye." Deryck said and hung up befor eSamantha could reply.
"Who was that?" Karine asked in curiousity.
"Samantha. She think's I want her or something." Deryck in confusion.
"Oh, yeah, now I remember." Karine said
"Remember what?"
"Oh, in Drama, she wanted me to remove my name from Juliet's spot." Karine said.
"Really? She said that? Man, she must have problems." Deryck said. Then the ride stopped.
"Yeah, I guess so." Karine said as she got off the ride, and they headed to the car. When they got to the car, they entered and headed home. Since they were passing by Deryck's house, they stopped by.
"Come on inside." Deryck said. His house was pretty big, but nothing like Karine's house. She entered and sat on the couch in the livingroom. Just then, a little girl with pig tails enetered the room and looked at Karine.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I'm deryck's..uhh...friend." Karine said.
"Hi, I'm his sister. You're really pretty." She said.
"Thank you. You are too." Karine said. "By the way, my name is Karine. And you are.."
"Rena."
"Nice to meet you Rena." Karine said. Then, Deryck came back in a regular shirt and jeans, a little different from before.
"Hi Deryck!!!" Rena said jumping into his arms.
"Hi Rena. What are you doing up so late?" he asked.
"I couldn't sleep." She said.
"Well, you need to sleep, are you forgetting that you have school tomorrow?" He asked.
"No, okay, iu'll go now. It was nice meeting you Karine!" She said while she ran up the stairs.
"Sorry." Deryck said rubbing his head.
"It's fine. I think she's adorable." Karine said.
"Well, let's get you home." Deryck said as they walked out. Then, it started pouring and lighting bolts were flying around.
"I think that's a bad sign." Karine said.
"Yeah, if I drove, there's a big possibility we might get into an accident, you know drivers." Deryck said. "O well, you can spend the night here. Then I'll take you home in the morning so you can get ready for school."
"Okay. Thanks." Karine said as he led her inside to his room. "I'll sleep on the couch." He said. Grabbing a blanket and a pillow.
"No way! I'm not taking your bed. I'll take the couch. I'm used to it." Karine smiled as she took what he was holding and walked to the living room. She then took off her shoes, and noticed her clothes were not too comfortable to sleep in.
"Here." Deryck said handing her one of his shirts.
"Thanks!" She said while Deryck turned around so she could change. She took off her shirt, her pants, and he shoes and wore his T-shirt. It was loose in her, and it went down to her mid-thigh.
"If you need anything, just wake me up." He said as he left. Karine hopped onto the couch and situated herself there. She covered herself with the blanket and slept. Allowing her dreams to carry her into a deep slumber.
