Chapter 2: Hello Stranger
I stared out of my window and remembered what the past year of school had been like.
I sat in my Science lesson dazing off yet again. I never paid attention in Science or Maths anymore. Thanks to Bulma I already knew more than school would ever teach me.
"Jesse, What's the compound found in Igneous rocks?" I heard someone ask.
"Trunks." I murmured. A hand slammed down on my desk.
"I would have thought a girl as smart as you would know the answer to that. In fact I know you know the answer to that!" she yelled. "The compound found in igneous rocks is not Trunks." Sniggers filled the room.
"Oh sorry miss. Minerals." I said.
"Thank you." She said and left me alone. Then I numbly went to history. My last lesson of the day.
I had never forgotten him. Not for a moment. I hadn't paid the tiniest amount of attention to my teachers since I had returned and still aced all of my classes. Thanks to Bulma. I was so distant in my thoughts I didn't even hear my mother come into my room.
"Jesse!" she called, but I wasn't listening. I sat looking outside watching the rain dribbling down the window. The weather was as miserable as I was. In the distance I heard someone calling me. As I drifted deeper into my thoughts the voice changed from something that resembled my mother's voice, to Trunks' gentle calling. In the window my reflection became an image of Trunks.
There's so many reasons,
That I find,
To run to you.
'Cause there's so little lovin',
In my life,
Now I'm away.
I couldn't think straight. I glanced at my sketching hand silently moving over the paper as I stared into the windows' image. I looked down at what I had drawn and saw Trunks' smiling face and a thumbs up. I glared at it and screwed it up throwing it as far away from me as I could.
And thinkin' about it,
I want things back how they used to be,
'Cause there's no way around it,
Nothin' good comes easily!
Everything in my head was messed up. I was different now. Even my body had changed. My hair was still knee length. My figure was thinner, more muscled and toned. I was stronger. When I was in their world with them I was filled with a happiness like none I had ever felt…but now I was broken.
"Damn it! I can't even think straight!" I yelled aloud, scaring my mother looking at me. "Damn him! No…damn me! I left not him! He pleaded me to stay and I…" I broke of into tears and hung my head.
So much between us,
And we both know that it's wrong.
So I'll keep on waiting,
'Til I'm back where I belong!
I felt hot tears splashing onto the desk. I slammed my fists against the table and burst into tears. The plastic top to the desk had two shattered holes where my fists had hit it. My mom sighed and sat beside me. She knew I was never going to be the same little girl again.
"Trunks!" I cried, burying my head in my hands. My voice trailed off into a whisper. "Oh, Trunks…"
So here I am,
All by myself,
Thinkin' of you,
Nobody else.
There's a feeling inside,
And as hard as I try,
It just won't go away.
Later that morning I was walking the dog and sat on a bridge watching him run around the field. I remembered the conversations I had had with my mother that morning. She was right the police would come to question me soon…. I had to have a straight story. Part of me wanted to just run…….but then my parents would be left with the police to deal with.
I just burst into tears. Through my tears a felt power. I found myself flashing gold and then silver. I knew I had transformed. I had wings and my hair was white…I hadn't transformed or even gone super saiyan at the first level since I returned. Then in another flash I turned back into me again.
The rain soaked my clothes and my damp hair sprawled across my face, drips of rain and tears running across my youthful flesh and my lips trembling. I held my arms out.
"TRUNKS! I NEED YOU!" I cried out. Everything seemed to stop. The noise of people stopped and silence filled the air, other than the heavy rain and wind. "I need you…all of you…"
I suddenly felt a familiar rush of power and then saw two figures. I saw them all to clearly and I knew I was seeing them again…only I wasn't dreaming this time.
I choked when I finally gained the power of speech. "Goten? Trunks?"
"Trunks? Goten?" I choked out. Did I dare believe that they were real? I blinked several times until I realised that they were really there. I moved slowly towards them step by step.
"Where the hell have you been!" he snapped. "Marron was broken hearted not to mention Trunks! A year! A year and not a word! You said you'd visit! What happened to you Jesse!" He was angry but Trunks…deadly calm, deadly silent, deadly cold.
This was an accident
Not the kind where sirens sound
Never even noticed
We're suddenly crumbling
"It was hard enough to say goodbye once…" I said quietly. I stepped towards them and locked my eyes on Trunks. His gaze shifted to meet mine.
"Jesse are you OK, Trunks said he thought you were in danger and so we came right over?...You've been crying and….in the rain…." He started to pull questioning faces at me and I smiled slightly. I looked back at Trunks' eyes.
I had pined for him each day but…did he still love me? It had been a whole year now. His eyes burrowed deep through mine trying to find an answer to a question I didn't know. He looked almost scared to know the answer. Finally his cold face broke into a smile. The Trunks I fell in love with was still in him.
Tell me how you never felt
Delicate or innocent
Do you still have doubts that
Us having faith makes any sense
"Well, are you going to say hello or not?" he asked. I took two fast steps forward and flung my arms around his waist. He wrapped his arms firmly around me and buried his face in my hair. I felt full again. Using my power had brought me back to life and now Trunks had filled it. I felt tears coming steadily.
"Oh Kami! I missed you so much!" I sobbed. "I can't belive you're really here! Oh Trunks!...Trunks…I missed you." He chuckled softly.
"Ah, so you are glad to see me." He murmured. "I missed you too." He kissed me lightly on the forehead. Then I met his lips with my own for a desperate kiss. We kissed again and again, each one more desperate and passionate than the last. Oh how I missed this. I needed this so much. Goten interrupted our…um…greetings by clearing his throat.
Tell me nothing ever counts
Lashing out or breaking down
Still somebody loses 'cause
There's no way to turn around
"You guys…could you wait to do that? I don't really want to see." He said. "But I could go for some food." I laughed through my tears. Trunks picked me up into his arms and we flew towards my house. My mom smiled when she saw my guests and of course by this time school was over anyway so she didn't know about the little leaving early incident…unless the school had phoned her already…but Mr Minford wouldn't have. We all went into the kitchen. My brothers ran and hugged Goten. We all sat down to eat.
Staring at your photograph
Everything now in the past
Never felt so lonely I
Wish that you could show me love
I felt Trunks grab my hand under the table and tug at it.
"Er…Mom…I'll be back in a minute." I said. I swiftly rose from the table dragged Trunks out of the room and started upstairs. It seemed to take forever to get to my room. I closed the door firmly and locked it.
"Where were we?" he asked slowly. I threw myself into his arms as he nuzzled my neck and hair. "You're hairs as long as it was in my world." He commented. I nodded.
"No Our world." I corrected him. He gaped. I nodded. He grabbed my head and kissed me roughly. We kept holding each other closer and closer, until he decided that that was not enough. He moved one hand to my thigh and lifted me so that my legs were wrapped around his waist.
Show me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love
'Til you open the door
"Trunks." I giggled. "I'm in a skirt." He smirked the way Vegeta did and in seconds he dangled the blue material that was once my skirt in front of me.
"You were saying." He said. I climbed off of him and walked to my cupboard.
Show me love, show me love, show me
love,
Show me love, show me love,
'Til I'm up off the floor
"Not now Trunks." I said. I stood there in my shirt and lavender lace underwear. I found my black baggy pants and pulled them on. I reached for the buttons of my shirt to find Trunks already undoing them one by one. He chuckled and tossed my shirt away and then pulled a face when he realised that I was wearing a tank top under my shirt. I changed my socks and then went and sat next to Trunks on my bed.
Show me love, show me love show me love,
Show me love, show me love,
'Til it's inside my pores
"It's incredible." I sighed.
"What? My body?" he asked. I threw a pillow at him.
"Having you back." I said. "…and your body." I laughed. We spent fifteen more minutes all over eachother before I dragged him back downstairs. My mom noticed my change of clothes and smiled evilly.
Show me love, show me love, show me love,
Show me love, show me love,
'Til I'm screaming for more
"No mom THAT did not happen." I said. Goten grinned.
"It didn't." he said. I looked at him oddly. "Your ki's went up but not enough for THAT as you've taken to calling it." I threw a handful of rice from my bowl at him.
"Young Lady!" my mom gasped. "I was going to make you eat that!" I grinned evilly.
"Oh but mom I all ready ate." I said sweetly.
"But you went t-…oh."
