Chapter 2: I think about you all the time
He left. So this is what it feels like to be placed in the dark. I should have never let myself become so close to him. It was my fault for opening the door to someone who I thought would take me into the light. Except all I found surrounding me was loneliness. I can't help but except my fate to being alone. Reality was cruel and I accepted the salt that was pushed against my wounds. I cried yet there was no sound able to reach my mouth. And when I opened my eyes I saw there was no scars to elaborate that I was in pain. All that remained was the memory being hurt. So many people have hurt me in the past I shouldn't' have been so naïve to make anyone an exception of being too close. I knew better, but I let myself become human and wanted to feel something I have been waiting for my whole life. I was willing to take the chance of letting someone break the ice sealed around my heart. I let myself become human for a minute and let my feelings come first. My pride held back the notion of actually thinking that this person could actually change my life. There weren't even any letters or phone calls…it was like he dropped off the face of the earth without a trace. All he left behind was a lonely person and a broken heart. I don't know if this heart will ever mend. I just promise myself it will never happen again.
It has been two years since he left. Pan was sitting in her bedroom trying hard to finish her homework. She couldn't help but think how terrible her life has become. Her best friend was becoming more involved with her boyfriend. She had told Pan that when it comes to a relationship it takes time to get to know the other person. Pan understood that, but what she didn't understand was why the couldn't still hang out. She knew for a fact that it was just an excuse to show that she much rather be with her boyfriend than with her. She signed and shook her head. Boys! How much she hated them with a passion. One boy walked out on her and the other one took her best friend. All girls fight about are over boys an that was disgraceful to the entire gender. She was seriously considering putting all men underground and using them only for breeding. She dropped her pencil on the desk and moved over to her bed. She plumped down on her bed while accidentally knocking over her yearbook on her nightstand. She moved over to pick it up. She decided to it wouldn't her hurt to look back on the past memories. She flipped the pages and looked through her class pictures. She smiled at Bra's picture and admired how beautiful she was. Bra was always the one to catch the guy's eyes when they went out. Goten was just the lucky contender who happen to catch Bra's heart.
She then looked over and her eyes landed on Trunks' picture. She sighed as she noticed how hot he looked in his picture. He still had on that same smirk he always gave her. She smiled and for the first time since he left it was a real smile. No matter how much she tried to forget about him, she couldn't. He grabbed her heart and made her realize that she was someone special, but now she didn't know what she was thinking. All she knew right now was that he manipulated her into thinking that she was someone he was interested in. Like he did with all girls, he took the chance into showing them that he could get any girl he wanted, even the bitter ones.
She has tried numerous times in asking Goten where Trunks had run off to, but Goten told her he couldn't tell her.
Trunks squinted as the morning sun shone through the curtains. He yawned and ran his hand through his hair. He sat up in his bed and started thinking about her. Every moment he thought about her till he closed his eyes to go to sleep. She was all he could think about.
Ever since he came to the rehabilitation center he did nothing but sulk in his room. He didn't have any intentions of becoming comfortable or letting himself aquatinted to anyone here. As hard as he tried there was something that always swept in the other direction. He didn't mean to befriend anyone , but she so happen to come along. Her name was Lillian Smitharronie, short for Lily. She looked almost exactly like Pan; it was unbearable to not look at her. She had the same pitch-black hair that came across the middle of her back. She also had the deep brown eyes that would stare through her bangs.
Trunks saw her in the cafeteria and almost mistaken her for Pan. He would stare at her the same way he did with Pan. He just couldn't believe his eyes. She reminded him so much of Pan. He sat at the table right behind the one she was sitting at. He usually sat alone because he just wanted to sober up and get out of here, but something told him that maybe the stay wouldn't be so bad. He looked down and started eating his mash potatoes and meatloaf when he heard a few giggles. He looked up to see the girls up ahead staring at him. She smiled at him when he glanced in her direction. The smile brought back memories of Pan.
He remembered walking through the hallways towards his class when he caught Pan standing near the water fountain. He crept slowly to where she was standing and grabbed her waist. She shrieked at being jerked suddenly. She turned around and a scowl was put upon her face.
"Trunks! That was so not funny!" She punched his shoulder. He laughed and started tickling her till she looked like she was going to burst. She escaped his torture and backed away from him. He walked towards and backed her up against the lockers. She was breathing heavily from the sudden attack, but a smile crept through her lips.
He put his hand above her head and looked her in the eyes.
"Well, you know I do what I can, just to see that smile on your face," his breath tickled the top of her forehead. She smiled and the dimple in her left cheek appeared. That was his favorite part of her smile. He moved away from her when the final bell rang that class has started. The smile faded and she started walking away from him.
"The fountain," he said. She turned to question what he meant, but he just smiled.
"The fountain is our place."
"What are you talking about?" She still questioned.
"Every time we need to meet up, the fountain is our place because it's the first time you ever smiled at me," he smirked and turned around to head to his class.
He smiled. He remembered that moment. He got up to throw away his trash when she walked up after him. She took a deep breath before tapping on his shoulder lightly. He turned around and smiled politely when he notices who it was.
"I'm Lily," she smiled and put out her hand for him to shake. He looked at her hand for a minute before introducing himself.
"Trunks…uh its nice to meet you, " he shook her hand and at that moment he felt electricity flowing through them. He was usually really smooth with the ladies, but for some reason he wasn't interested. All he cared about was Pan and returning back to her was the only thing he wanted. He started walking past her when she quickly walked along side of him.
"I noticed you sitting by yourself and wanted to let you know that there's an empty seat at our table. Anytime you want to join us," she said. He stopped to look over at her. He noticed she was standing very close indicating something more than just friendship.
"Thanks, but if you don't mind I rather be alone."
"Oh okay. I'm sorry I just thought you wanted some company." She looked a bit disappointed. It seemed that it took a lot of courage for her to come up to him. She was about to walk away when Trunks stopped her.
"I didn't mean to come off as a jerk. I'm just going through a rough time right now and need a little space to myself." She looked at him and gave a reassuring smile.
"Well, if you ever need someone to talk to, my door is always open. I'm in room 108."
And that was how they first met. Ever since then they became better friends. They understood each other a lot. It was true that she looked a lot like Pan, but their personalities is what separated them from one another. Pan was more the reserved type and usually didn't like to smile. You usually would have to approach her first if you wanted to get to know her, but Lily was different. She was very forward and confident in herself. Lily was at the rehabilitation center because she had an eating disorder. That was the reason for her living in a different wing than Trunks. He liked her a lot, but nothing could compare to Pan. There was just something that held his heart to her more than anyone else he knew. She changed him. The thing that made him stop thinking about her for a minute was Lily. Since she was physically there, she had more of his attention.
Trunks knew that Lily had some attraction towards him because of her body language. Even though, he told her numerous times that there was someone else. She would look very disappointed at times, but understood that he belonged to someone else. Pan would never be this forward with her feelings as Lily was. Lily, of course was just as beautiful and it was harder for Trunks not to accept the invitation. So all he could accept was her friendship.
"So who is she?" Lily just asked curiously one day when they were in his room, watching a movie. They were both lying on his bed. He put both his arms behind his head and sighed. She sat up and looked at him with a questioning look. "Well…She must be something special. You know a lot of girls find you attractive here. If you were like any other guy you would have gone after them…buy you're not I can tell. You're a good guy to being so faithful to her. She's lucky."
Trunks looked over at her and smiled. He was known for being a jackass at his school because he took a lot of girls for advantage. "I think I'm the lucky one. She's not you're average girl. She's different."
"What makes her stand out so much than the other girls? There are different types of girls, you just have to pick out a certain type of girl to call them different." Lily looked up.
"I know. I've been out with tons of girls, but there's something about her that just pushed her away from all the other girls," he explained.
"Well, what does she look like?" Lily questioned. Trunks looked up at her and got off the bed and walked over to his desk. He pulled out a photograph. She took the photograph and almost gasped at it.
"I remember when I first took that picture…" he began.
They were sitting in his room talking. He had invited her for dinner and to meet his family. He did not even notice how incredibly close they were getting. They were both lying on his bed talking about random things. He wanted time to stand still and for them to be like this forever. He knew that it was impossible so he lied on his side and stared at her.
"Trunks, what's with you and starring at me all the time? It's giving me the creeps. You and your stalker antics," she laughed. "Take a picture, it'll last longer," she said.
"That's not a bad idea," he said getting off the bed towards his drawer. He searched frantically through his things until he found his digital camera. He took it and switched it on. He turned and put the camera to his eye.
"Come on, smile!" he said.
"No! I hate pictures!" She yelled covering her face with a pillow.
"Seriously Pan, move the pillow and smile fore one picture. It won't kill you."
"I was joking about the whole picture thing," she said putting the pillow aside and sitting on the bed.
"I know. Now sit up straight." She did as she was told and looked at him while he took the picture. He took the camera away from his eye and smiled. He clicked the button to look at the picture he just took. She wasn't exactly smiling, but close enough.
"She looks almost exactly like me," Lily whispered more to herself than to Trunks.
"Yea she does. Trust me, you guys have very different personalities." He laughed. Lily just stared at the photograph. She couldn't believe her eyes. In the picture Pan had her hair up in a ponytail and a small clip to the side to hold up her bangs. Lily took a closer look at her clothes and notice how plain the girl was. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a very plain button up shirt. Lily frowned and knew for sure if she had a guy like Trunks she would dress a little nicer and not like a bum. She looked over at Trunks to find him staring at the photograph too. She couldn't help, but be jealous of this Pan. She couldn't stand how they look so similar, but he held more of an interest to that tomboy.
She stood up and gave the photograph back to Trunks. "She seems…like a tomboy."
"Well… I like the way she can dress so comfortably around me. She doesn't worry about her looks or what she wears. She acts casually and that's one of the things I like about her so much." Lily looked down at her mini-skirt and spaghetti string top. She sighed, it took her almost two hours to do her make up and hair. She wanted to impress Trunks and hopefully get him to stop thinking about her. So she did the one thing she could think of. She walked over to him slowly and grabbed him by the collar and kissed him. She kissed with such passion and fire that she had to wrap her arms around his neck. She didn't care if he pushed her aside, all she wanted was to touch him even if it was for a moment.
