365 Days and I Love You
Chapter 3: October
A/N: Sorry for the long gap in updates with me… School started and I got lost in all of the glories of High School! Right…
October 9th:
Pan,
I am so sick of you being so god damn beautiful! You make it so hard for me to look at you and not melt. You kill me Pan. You really do. And lately, you've been doing it in a way other than looks and charm. Huh? What's that? You asking 'what'? Geez, Pan… of course it's the fact that you make out with a new guy every week…
When will it be my turn!

October 11th:
Pan,
Do you ever wonder what it would be like if we hooked up? I don't even have to tell you that I think about it EVERY single day… every waking hour… and every moment…
Am I obsessed?
Yeah…
October 12th:
Pan,
Today was a calm day… I took you out for some lunch on our break… we talked about all sorts of stuff… then we got into the topics of marriage. Then I heard you hooked back up with Red. That same HIM I had been envying since you turned seventeen. I am so sick of him…
Maybe I can kill him his sleep?
Would you notice?
October 13th:
Pan,
We went out to dinner tonight… just the two of us. When we were through eating, after I dropped you off… you kissed my cheek. YES! SCORE! WHO'S THE BEST? MEEEEEEEEEE!
I am SOSOSOSOSOSO excited! This could be going somewhere!
LOVE YOU!
Trunks
October 20th:
Pan,
I took you Halloween costume shopping this weekend. You picked up three pumpkin costumes for Goten's kids and a couple gigantic ones for him and Bra. You giggled when you saw a French Maid outfit, remembering the one you and I had picked out together. You smiled shyly, running your hands on the fabric, then we left.
WTF?
Trunks
October 24th:
Pan,
You called me and told me you were coming over. Your voice cracked and I could tell you were crying. I immediately accepted and lit a fire in the fireplace and grabbed a couple cups of coffee, preparing for a sob fest. After throwing a few blankets on the sofa, the doorbell rang. Upon answering, I saw you soaked through your clothes from the rain, your mascara running from your tears.
I'll be here for you always…
Trunks
October 30th:
Pan,
We sat and talked. You told me everything. You caught him cheating. But not like kissing-another-girl cheating.. But walking in on him while he's in the middle of sex kind of cheating. You seem like you need a hug…? Good thing you spent the night.
Can't believe it…
Trunks

October 30th:
"I was just so stupid to think he actually still loved me…" Pan took a sip of her coffee. She was wrapped up in a brown throw blanket, one of Trunks' shirts and a pair of his shorts, her clothes soaked and hanging in the laundry room.
"No, you're not stupid." Trunks sighed, knowing he said something stupid.
"You're right… I'm not stupid… I'm retarded."
"NO! Not at all!" He snapped.
"I don't know…" Trunks moved and sat next to her casually, then she rested her head on his shoulder. "I bet they're still screwing each other, not even thinking about me…" Trunks sighed. "Don't even say it, I'm definitely right…"
"No Pan…"
"I'm probably not pretty enough for him…" She let a tear fall down her cheek, rushing toward the floor.
"No, Pan…" He put his hands on her shoulders, looking straight into her eyes. "You're not pretty enough. You're too beautiful for him."
She looked up at him and smiled slightly. He leaned in… and so did she… But then she kissed his cheek. "You're such a great friend, Trunks…"
"You too…" Trunks smiled slightly, his voice cracking.
