Act 4
The bell signaling the beginning of the last class rang. Vegita went into the class, sat on the last seat of the last row, picked up his Cd player and put on his headphones, which he would be listening to throughout the whole class. He thought about this weird day with that loser Yamcha and Bulma, and wondered why he'd even bothered to get involved, after all, whatever that woman was going through was her own fault. She had chosen Yamcha at her own free will and nobody, not even Yamcha himself, had forced her. Of course, he knew Yamcha had some game and made the girls fall into his trap, how was she supposed to know? She was only a seventh-grader. Why the hell am I thinking about this? Vegita asked himself angrily; there's nothing that can justify her, she's my enemy anyway, and I hate her But Vegita couldn't help but wonder what had gone wrong, where had it gone wrong. For the first time ever, he knew he was not to blame. But he couldn't help but feel guilty at what had happened. Maybe he could have done something, but it wasn't all his fault!
Flashback
"Well, I'm going inside now, V'gita, see you later!" Bulma rushed inside her house.
Vegita went home, took a bath and got dressed for the party that night. He was going to meet with that loser Kakarot. Why had he agreed to anyway? He ran downstairs and read the note that had his mom's handwriting on it,
We went to see uncle Jon at the hospital. Your other uncles are there waiting for us. Uncle Jon seems better and might go back home tomorrow. Cousin Jessica called and asked if she could see you, she's really happy to be here and doesn't want to leave without 'seeing her favorite little cousin'. I told her that you might come by after the prom. I'll see later on, honey, and you and Bulma have fun!
Love, Mom and Dad
Though Vegita showed emotion to no one, he did not deny to himself that there were those who were his family and of whom he cared about. And right now, he was worried about uncle Jon and was glad that cousin Jessica was here. Although she was eighteen, five years older than he, she acted rather childish and always seemed to keep Vegita entertained. Few girls like her liked to sit in front of a tv playing Play Station 2 for an entire day. That's what he liked best about Jessica, she enjoyed doing the same things as he.
Vegita grabbed his jacket, and walked over to Bulma's house. She was already waiting for him. Damn, she looks good he thought. She smiled at him, he was actually wearing formal clothes other than big shirts and baggy jeans. Vegita rolled his eyes. Later, they met with Goku and Chichi. Goku's brother, Radditz, came in his Hummer and agreed to give them a ride to school.
Moments later, they arrived at the party. The gym was decorated to the point where it was unrecognizable. Vegita and Tien were sitting at the table arguing about who was a better rapper. Tien said it was 50 cent, but Vegita argued that it was Jay-Z.
"Hey, V'gita, come on let's dance", Bulma stood in front of him and asked. When Vegita refused, she kept on asking him.
"Alright, woman, I'll dance if you tell me who's a better rapper, 50 cent or Jay-Z" asked Vegita crossing his arms looking defiantly at Tien. Bulma knew who was Vegita's favorite rapper, and although she didn't really listen to rap, she opted for the latter.
"Why, Jay-Z, of course!" said Bulma. Now lets go dance, Vegita, you promised!" and with that, Bulma grabbed Vegita and brought him to the dance floor.
"Vegita, can you do me a favor?" Bulma asked. When Vegita nodded, Bulma whispered something to him. Vegita threw an exasperated sigh.
"You ask for too much, woman!" But he walked to where the DJ, who was Krillin, was. He said something to him, Krillin nodded. Vegita walked back to Bulma, half smirking. Seconds later, Bulma's favorite song came out through the speakers. "Baby girl I trade it all", by Fabolous. Bulma smiled dazzlingly.
"Thank you so much, Vegita!" she cried. They danced two more songs after that one. When they got tired, they went back to join their friends at the table. While Tien was talking about something which was apparently funny, Vegita's cell rang.
"Woman I'll be right back", he said to Bulma. Once outside, he picked up the phone.
"Yeah?" he answered.
"Vegita?" a female voice answered back.
"What's wrong Jessica?" Vegita asked, sensing her distress.
"Look, Vegita, I'm on my way over there, I need to tell you something. Wait outside, ok?" her voice cracked a little. This was not good. Did she keep on seeing that guy, Broli, who used to beat her? I hope not Vegita thought, recalling how he'd gone to her house one night, to hear screams coming from the house. Vegita had gone inside and found Broli hitting her mercilessly. Vegita had taken a pocketknife, given to him by uncle Jon, and had stabbed Broli. He dropped and started bleeding. Jessica called the police. Broli was taken to the hospital, but he hadn't died. He was taken to prison, and remained there for six months. Vegita just hoped that Jessica wasn't stupid enough to see that guy again.
He saw his cousin's silver Escalade. He walked to the parking lot. The door opened and Jessica came out. As soon as she saw Vegita, she threw herself at him, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Jessica, what the hell happened?" he asked, is it Broli again?"
Jessica shook her head, "No, Vegita! Its, its oh god, it's uncle Jon, Vegita, he's gone!"
For the first time, Vegita felt what it was to feel grief. He was gone, Uncle Jon, the one who had taught and given him so many things. He wanted to feel what it felt like to cry, but he couldn't, tears would just not come out. They stayed there, holding on to each other.
"Jessica, wait for me right here, I'm gonna go inside and tell my girl I'm leaving, ok?" Vegita said, walking back. But what he saw shocked him even more. What? Was he seeing right? His girlfriend making out with that Yamcha guy? Here she was, the girl who had asked him if he was cheating on her, and here she was two-timing him. He was furious. He was in grief, and now felt betrayed by the girl he had actually started to open up to.
"What the hell are you doing, woman?" he asked angrily.
"What am I doing, Vegita? What were you doing, huh? You don't think I saw you with that girl?" Bulma asked furiously.
"Woman, you know nothing!" Vegita yelled.
"Yes, Vegita, I do know, because I saw you. Oh, so you can cheat on me and there's nothing wrong with that, but I cheat on you and then you come questioning me? I cant put up with players, Vegita, and you know what?" Bulma hollered.
"No, I don't know what. But I know one thing woman: It's fucking over!" Vegita yelled. Bulma was enraged. How dare he? She was supposed to be the one breaking up with him! Not the other way around!
"I hate you Vegita. I hate you so much!" Bulma screamed.
"I hate you, too, woman!" Vegita returned with the same tone of voice.
"Don't you ever, ever, ever in your life consider me as a friend Vegita!" Bulma yelled.
"And you don't even consider me an enemy, try to get a worse word for it!" Vegita yelled at her once more. He turned around, got in the car, and Jessica drove back to the hospital. That night Vegita lost many things: His uncle Jon, his girlfriend, his loyalty to girls, and his trust for people around him.
End of Flashback
That had been pretty bad, but, what had happened was over and of course, Vegita was never one to hesitate in moving on. All he knew was that there was nothing left between him and the woman and they were now sworn enemies. She was going through a hard time with that guy Yamcha, but she was suffering the consequences of a bad choice she'd made. Vegita should be glad that she was becoming conscious of her mistake now that it was too late, but was he?
