Chapter 3: Not so simple
I sat quite comfortably in between Trunks and Goten with Trunks' arm around me. I sighed and looked at them.
"so what's going on?" I asked. "Monsters asking for the guardian of the earth…after the dragonballs I'm at a loss here guys."
"OK, first we chill. Look didn't you ask questions?" Goten asked. I shook my head.
"I'm sorry…I guess I didn't think." I said. "I really am blonde aren't I?" Trunks squeezed my shoulder.
"It's OK, but for future reference. Questions first kill second." He said. I nodded. "Well, with you here…the presence of the dragonballs is kind of obvious…I you left they'd think you had taken the dragonballs with you…are you sure it's the dragonballs they're after…or did they want the guardian of the earth to find you?"
"I don't know…it had just killed a load of students asking for the dragonballs so I just killed it." I said. "Sorry."
"Look, either way…we need to sort you out before we sort out the world. If you can't think you can't save millions of people can you?" Goten asked. Trunks gave him a funny look. "Firstly the police are gona what to know what happened and you just have to say that it had just killed a load of people and since you'd studied martial arts and were so upset you just flew at it and then ran off in shock. You don't know a thing. But as for the rest…"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I had a long chat with your mother when you and Trunks were pre-occupied. Depression isn't a pretty thing but it sounds like you really got it bad." He said. I hung my head. "Let me see your arms Jesse." I turned away from him and caught Trunks' look of alarm. I hung my head again. "Jesse, what's done is done. No amount of criticism I can give you will make it go away. Let me see."
"Jesse." Trunks said. "Jesse show me." I just hugged myself and curled up in a ball. "Damn it Jesse let me see!" He grabbed my right arm and even through my tear I didn't miss the gasp of horror. His grip loosened and he began to trace the faint scars with his other hand. I sobbed quietly as he did so. He took my other arm and saw it to be not as bad but still there were scars. I had been lucky that the cuts I had made had not scarred deeply. They only showed faint lines only noticeable if you actually looked properly.
"W-why did you do it? How could that have solved anything?" Trunks choked. I looked to find him near tears…but I knew he wouldn't cry.
"I…it didn't…I blamed myself for everything…it'll scar my mind and…my actions scar my skin just as my mind…I tried to cope every other way but…it's like I was an angel free to fly suddenly caged and forced to act like a pigeon." I said. Trunks hugged tightly. I just fell against him.
"Promise me you're alright now." Trunks whispered.
"I can't. you don't know what they said about me when I came back. I was unpopular before but now because I suddenly changed everyone thought I was a slut…and when word spread about other things and now they think I'm a monster."
"Other things…"
"Trunks…I…I can't tell you now…but I will…someday." I said.
Goten got up and left. I swore I would kill my mother if she had told him. Trunks led down on the couch and gestured for me to come to him. I half sat half led on the couch with him. He pulled me into his arms so that we were both led down, me resting my head on his chest.
"Please tell me Jesse…is it something to do with me?"
"Yes."
"Then what Jesse. Please. Is it us?"
"Y-Yes…" I sobbed. He stroked my shoulders and arms. "Trunks…when I left I-I was…I was pregnant…" There! I finally said it! I finally spoke about it!
"Y-You…got it rid of it?" he asked in a strangled voice.
"No…I had a miscarriage…but I did and didn't want it. I mean besides the obvious too young blah blah blah, I would remind me of you…in a happy way and in a sad way…if it looked like you I may not be able to even look at it but then…it would have been as if I had part of you with me. I didn't want to lose it." Trunks sssshed me but I still cried softly…who wouldn't?
"Do you want children?"
"yes I do."
"When this is over. We're going back to Capsule corp. I'm going to marry you and then…then we'll have some beautiful children together and if I'm there it won't be sad."
"Confident are we?" I joked.
"Well, would you marry me…if I asked you, would you?" he asked.
"No." I said shoving him off of the couch. I looked down at him and smiled. I kissed him on the forehead. "Of course I would silly. But for now. The Earth and all the people on it come first."
There was a knock at the door and I saw the police car outside. Trunks and Goten bundled together and disappeared into thin air. I hoped they were coming back.
The police statement was….interesting and they said they'd contact me in 24hours if they needed anything else. I hoped to god they didn't.
