"talking" song lyrics
Come Home Soon
"Explain what you and Rai were talking about?"
"Well…about us, and what happened on his trip, and thatwearedatingagain." Melanie said really fast.
"Mellie what was the last part?" Bra asked.
"Don't freak out and do that crazy thing you do."
"I'll try." Bra stated.
"Promise me?" Melanie stated back.
"Fine."
"Rai and I are dating again."
"Why?" Bra asked.
"What? I thought you would be happy."
"I am, but after what he did?" Bra replied.
"This is a completely different reaction. I thought that you would be bouncing off the walls."
"I just don't want you to get hurt again."
"I won't. Rai won't do that to me again."
They both sat down on the bed. Melanie couldn't believe that Bra would say that. It wasn't what Melanie wanted to hear, but decided that she didn't care.
"Listen, I don't care what you think. I love him so much and I love Geta. There isn't anything you can do or say to make that feeling go away. What would you have said if I told you not to date Goten?"
Melanie paused and Bra took the advantage to talk. "I would say that exact same thing that you said."
"Then get over it because he's min and I don't care what you say. I love Rai and that's all that matters." With that said Melanie got up and left Bra's room. When Melanie got to her room, she saw Geta and Rai asleep on her bed.
Melanie went back downstairs to get something to eat. She really didn't know why Bra was being so mean about her dating Rai again, but it really didn't matter. When Melanie got to the kitchen she saw her two brothers.
"Mellie we need to talk." Goten stated.
"About what?" Melanie so innocently said.
"Bra told me that you're back together with Rai."
"Your point is?"
"Well…I don't necessarily agree with Bra, but I also don't agree with you either."
"Why! How is it any different than you dating, marrying, and starting a family with Bra when she was a junior in high school!" Melanie demanded.
"Because I love her! Rai doesn't love you!" Goten snapped.
Melanie was left speechless. After starring at Goten for a few minutes, she ran out of the house and flew off. Melanie didn't care where she ended up as long as she could just think.
Melanie landed at Pan's house. She didn't' know even know if she was home, but Melanie just needed to be alone.
I still imagine your touch
Its beautiful missing something that much
But sometimes love needs a fighting chance
So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance
Melanie knocked on the door and stood there for a couple of minutes. She didn't expect to have Pan open the door.
"Hey Mellie, what's up?" Pan excitedly asked.
"Nothing really….um….can I come in?"
"Sure…" Pan said as she closed the door behind Melanie. "What's wrong?"
"Rai's back….at least with me and Geta."
"So he went to you?" Melanie nodded. "That's really weird." Pan said as they sat down on the couch.
"Why?"
"Because he said that he couldn't see you after what he did."
"What! You knew where Rai was! Why didn't you tell me!" Melanie yelled.
"Because he didn't want me too!" Pan barked back.
"What!" Melanie asked. She never thought that he would do that.
"He didn't want me too. I tried to tell him that he needs to tell you, but Rai said that couldn't face you…so I dropped the conservation." Pan stated.
"Now that you've practically repeated yourself…"
"That's because that is what he told me. Mellie you just have to trust him. I'm sure that he'll eventually tell you."
Tears started to fall from Melanie's face. "Panny, tell me one thing….Is it bad?"
"Mellie, I don't know. Do you love him?"
"More than anything." Melanie sobbed.
Pan hugged Melanie and said, "Then go and ask him. Tell him how you feel about him."
"All right."
"Crying might help a little too."
"Ok. Thanks Panny."
"Not a problem. I don't want to see my favorite aunt sad."
"I'm your only aunt."
Melanie laughed. "That's not true. Bra's my aunt too."
"I guess your right."
"Duh."
"Go talk to Rai."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye."
Melanie left Pan's house and flew back to hers. Melanie had no clue what she was going to say to Rai, but decided that she had to talk to him. When Melanie landed she saw Rai, Goten, and Gohan talking. So she went over to them.
"What are you talking about?" Melanie sweetly asked.
"You. Why!" Goten barked.
"Ok…Then what is Gohan doing here?"
"Fighting for you and Rai!" Goten angrily stated.
"Look Goten, I know that you're pissed at me. So you don't have to be so mean about this. You remember who supported you when you were dating Bra."
"That's different."
Before Melanie could say anything Goten slapped her. Melanie looked at Goten with tears in her eyes. She managed to say, "Why?"
"At least I love Bra. He doesn't love you. You're just a whore. You have to have your way. Just…"
Melanie took off inside the house, and ran upstairs to her room. She was lying on her bed crying.
"Melanie?" Rai curiously asked.
"Go away!"
Rai walked into her room and sat down on her bed. "Will you…" The next thing he knew was that Melanie was in his arms crying. He didn't exactly know what to do, but he just kept telling her that everything would be ok.
I wonder, I pray
Melanie woke up later that day to Rai asleep. She couldn't believe that he was still there.
"Mwellie?" Geta whispered.
"What Geta?"
"Awre ywou owkay?"
"Yep…I think."
"Gwood." Geta gave Melanie a hug and then ran out of the room.
Melanie sat on the bed and was thinking. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Rai kissing her shoulder. After a couple of minutes, Rai asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Oh…hey Rai. I'm feeling fine, but I think my face is bruised." Melanie got off the bed and said, "I keep wanting to hate Goten for what he did, but I can't."
"Maybe…"
"Rai why didn't you come for Geta when you got back?" Melanie asked cutting him off.
"I thought you said that it didn't matter?"
"Well I want to know." Melanie said as she walked back to the bed.
"Just know that I love you and Geta. What I did…what I've done isn't an excuse."
"What happened Rai? I'm really worried about you."
"Then sit because it's a long story."
Melanie sat on the bed. She was scared out of her mind because she had no clue on what she was going to do if she lost him again.
I sleep alone
I cry alone
Without you this house is not a home
So please, come home soon
"When I left, I had no idea of what I was going to find when I went home. I mean I left in a hurry. Well…" Rai paused. He didn't know what to say. After a couple of minutes, Rai said, "Eighteen managed to survive somehow…she was still has destructive as ever. I was so terrified that if I fought her…something might happen to me."
"Did you fight her?"
"Yeah….I managed to save whatever the remaining population was, but I was so hurt that I managed to make it back to my time capsule. Then I spent almost four months in this timeline before I came to you."
"So this wasn't anything bad or horrible….well besides you being hurt."
"Yeah and listen I'm here now."
"I know."
"I'm sorry about what Goten said to you or called you. I never thought me being with you would upset him so much." Rai said as he gently touched the right side of her face.
Melanie leaned into his hand and said, "Goten and I haven't got along since you got back."
"Why?"
"For one reason you ran away after I slept with you and reason number two…." Melanie paused.
"What is it?"
"We're accepted by your parents and that's something that Goten never got."
"Doesn't he want to see you happy?"
"Of course he does, but he doesn't want to see me hurt again." Melanie said as she sat up and broke Rai's embrace.
"Maybe it would help if I talked to him again." Rai said.
"I don't know if that would work."
"Then you try….better yet we'll try. I don't want your brother to hate you or Geta."
"What about you? Rai you wouldn't care if Goten hated you?"
"I would, but I would do it for you."
"You're sweet, but I dunno." Melanie started to shake and then the tears came. "Bra's mad at me too…." Melanie managed to say.
Rai got up of the bed and went to Melanie. He put his arms around her and let her cry for a second time that day. After about ten minutes, Rai laid her down on her bed and went to find Goten. Rai knew that he had to at least talk to Goten.
I walk alone
I try alone
I'll wait for you, don't want to die alone
So please, come home soon
Rai walked out of her room and went downstairs. When he got to the bottom, he heard Goten and Bra talking. So Rai sat on the bottom of the stairs.
"But Bra I hit Mellie….I did something that can never be taken back."
"Why did you hit her?" Bra asked. She would never openly admit it, but this was one thing that they both needed to talk about. Guess you could say that Bra was more worried about what her parents thought.
"Things were being said and I was still mad form earlier that day." Gotten paused and put his head in his hands. "Bra…I can't believe that I called her a whore…"
"And she didn't hit you back!"
"She took off inside. I gotta talk to Rai."
"Then talk to me." Rai said as he rounded the corner and went into the living room. "What are you going to say that is any different! You obviously don't like me and that's fine, but I won't be surprised if Mellie doesn't forgive you!"
"Are you done!" Bra asked. Rai nodded. "Then you two go outside and civilly talk." Bra stated as she stood up and walked upstairs. She had to find her daughter and nephew, and then remembered that they were in Mariana's room.
Rai and Goten watched as Bra walked up the stairs, and then the boys headed outside. As soon as they got out the door, Rai asked, "What is your problem?"
"I'm sorry, Rai. I truly am. You had already hurt her once. I promised myself that no one would hurt her again." Goten said as he sat on the front steps.
"What are you talking about?" Rai asked. At this point he didn't know whether to be upset or happy that Goten just said that. Rai being the nice guy he is sat down next to Goten.
"Dad left her when she was thirteen years old. The most crucial part of her growing up, and he left. It hurt her, and he was gone nine years before that. The only time that she k…"
"That I knew him was when we were fighting Baby." Melanie said.
"Hey Mellie." Goten said.
"Hi Goten, Rai." Melanie sat down in Rai's lap, but as soon as she sat down she crawled into Goten's lap. She pulled him into a hug.
After a couple of minutes, Goten asked, "Aren't you mad at me?"
"Was…but not anymore. Rai helped me through that. I realized that you were doing….the whole protection thing. And if it helps, I think that Bulma and Vegeta are ready to talk to you and Bra. That was mainly Trunks and Pan though."
"I couldn't ever hate you Mellie. It's just that especially after Eric I didn't want you hurt. I'm sorry for what I did…"
"Good….Because remember I already forgave you."
"Yeah….yeah." Goten and Melanie laughed.
Rai took a step away from the porch, turned to face Goten, and asked, "Do I….we have you're approval?"
"Yeah, you do."
Melanie hugged her brother and then tackled Rai. She has no idea what the future holds, but then again she doesn't care because her family loves her, and she finally feels like she has a family.
