Life Ain't No Fairytale, Home Ain't No Place

Chapter 8: What had I done!

I woke up feeling stiff, sore and with a massive headache. Then I realised someone on top of me…What?

"Ow…my head…." I murmured. Then person above me stirred. Our eyes met. Both of which had the same emotion…confusion…shock…horror…fear… GOTEN! In my bed! On top of me! WE COULDN'T HAVE! I WOULDN'T HAVE! We…did… We must have…he was still inside of me…

"W-What…happened?" he choked out. I shook my head in disbelief.

"I…don't know…" I whispered. I felt like crying, and so I did. Goten moved from on top of me and found some clothes. He put on his boxers and then came back over to me. He handed me my clothes which I numbly put on. But then I broke completely into a fit of tears and huddled up in a ball. Goten moved closer to me and put his arms around me. I hugged him back…we both knew it wasn't us that did this…and we were both deeply betrayed and hurt by who did. I felt Goten tremble and found that he too was crying.

"Marron…drugged us…" Goten said quietly. "Not Trunks…but he must have known…but she actually did it…" We stayed there in each other's arms for hours…in shock and disbelief.

The door opened come lunchtime and my mother walked in. she seemed shocked by our tears but not that we wore little clothing or that we were huddled together.

Why should she? In the house we all saw each other with little clothing on, and when upset we would comfort one another, but she didn't understand our tears. But she told us we were not the only ones crying this morning. Apparently all four of us were grieving this morning. For a dead trust. I wasn't ashamed of what Goten and I did. Which surprised me even though I knew very well that it wasn't our fault. I was upset that we had been so abused.

Some time later Goten and I decided to go our separate ways to think. I flew towards the shed where I had first led the Z fighters. I lowered my ki and landed. Then I walked dazedly towards the old fountain in the centre of the woods. As I reached the clearing I saw Goten, Trunks and Marron all entering the clearing from different directions. We all met up in the centre. None of us spoke but we all were crying. Now we had all seen each other cry. Now we were closer than ever.

"I'm sorry guys." Marron whispered. She fell to her knees. I watched Goten, he seemed torn whether to forgive her or not. "Jesse…I could've ruined things between you and Trunks completely…I'm sorry…I just wanted Goten to be…satisfied…I-I love you Goten….Really I do…." Goten knelt in front of her and took her hands in his.

"I was satisfied. I had you. Whether we had sex or not…I still had you." He said. "I love you Marron."

I couldn't take it any more. The weight of everything suddenly surrounded me and I too fell to the ground. Trunks came and sat down behind me locking his arms around my waist.

"I knew…I should've stopped it…but I didn't know what to do…I had to leave…I couldn't be around when…you know…I'm sorry…I should've protected you." He whispered. I turned around in his arms and kissed him on the forehead. I kissed the tears on his cheeks. I kissed his lips. He just held me.

"You really hurt us Marron…betrayal…isn't something I deal with well…but I love you and as stupid as I sound just forgiving you just like that…I love you too much to let go." Goten said.

So there we were, crying and hurt all four of us huddled together in the forest centre. I must have been hours we stayed there and by the time we got home again it was dark. We all slept in my room. We couldn't split into two groups. We just all squeezed into my small room.

Trunks and I lay huddled on my bed and Goten and Marron on a slide out bed on the floor. We hadn't eaten much all day and we hadn't talked all that much either. I just hoped desperately that everything would go back to normal soon enough.

I woke up about ten the next morning, Trunks was still asleep next to me, Marron still on the floor and I could hear Goten eating downstairs. I nudged Trunks gently so that I could get up.

"Is it morning?" he asked groggily.

"Yup. It's morning." I sighed. He groaned and sat up. I follow suit and we both showered and got dressed before heading downstairs to join Goten. Marron came down about half an hour later. She had showered and dressed and sat down at the table. She to one look at the food before running upstairs.

We all exchanged worried glances. A few minutes later my mom came down and told us the Marron wasn't very well and that she was asleep in the spare bedroom where is was quiet. Again this worried us even more.

Later that day we were sat out in the garden when Goten announced that he was going to see Marron and see how she was. I offered to go but Trunks told me it was best to let Goten go. Trunks and I went for a walk. We walked for miles across the country. We stopped in a field by a river. We had been here before over a year ago. Trunks had scared me here. He had looked like a raging lion wanting to do nothing but tear me to shreds. This time I stripped off and dived into the water and Trunks followed suit. I swam around in just my underwear, with no bra. Trunks in his boxers. After a few minutes of splashing I went up to him. I wound my arms around his neck and pressed up against him.

"Make me yours again." I breathed in his ear. He caught my chin and clamped his lips firmly down on mine. Kissed trailing everywhere and hands also. He pushed my up against the bank and slipped off the raining garments of clothing before catching my gaze. I leant towards him and kissed him on the forehead. He moved on top of me and thrust inwards. I let my head roll back onto the grass as I composed myself. I grinned and pulled him in closer. I kissed him passionately as he threw all his attention to his thrust at an even pace. I bit down on his neck taking him by surprise causing him to increase his speed. I felt close and he bite down on my neck as I reached the light. Moving he rolled onto his back smoothly, still inside of me so that I lay on top of him. I moved so that I was sat up. I moved around testing the effects and soon found that a back and forth motion had the best effect on him. I grinned as I watched his every reaction to my kisses, movements.

Soon we were both panting softly on the grass. Still kissing while trying to get dressed. I watched Trunks grin evilly and ping the condom into the distance. I burst out laughing. He looked very pleased with himself.

"Trunks…that's not how you're supposed to get rid of them." I scolded lightly.

"Oh and I suppose you'd like me to carry it back and put it in the trash can. Carry it back in my hand for your dad to see?" Trunks enquired.

"Ping away." I agreed.

With that we headed home for dinner.

It had been four days and Marron hadn't eaten a thing. She just kept being sick. Everyone was worried sick. At one point I had found an empty bottle of headache tablets and was in hysterics when I couldn't find Marron. So far she was hanging on. She would sleep pretty much all day. I would try to get her to eat. We all would but there was just no making her.

Two weeks later and I'm sat in the hospital. We're just waiting to see what the results are. Marron is suffering depression and eating disorders. She had done us wrong and was paying for it in guilt. But at the same time she was just causing us more grief. It of course wasn't her fault but we were all worried. I could just see things happening all over again. The Doctor's said all the same things they had said when I was in hospital. I had stopped eating five years ago and ended up in hospital for four weeks on a drip. Luckily Marron wouldn't have to stay that long.

We were all so worried even we weren't eating much. It wasn't because we were ill or anything just we didn't feel as hungry when our friend was led on a hospital bed. Goten had reduced his food intake right down to less than an average human. He was weaker ki wise but at least he wasn't sick. I kept telling him starving himself wasn't doing any good and he just said he couldn't help it.

During lunch a nurse came running up to us.

"I'm pleased to say that Marron can go home tomorrow." She said. I eyes grew huge. "She ate something earlier and kept it down. So as long as her progress continues she's going to be absolutely fine."

A Week Later

We all set out on the bus towards the town. By the time we got there Goten insisted on us buying "lunch". We went to the fast food bar. Goten ordered the largest of everything on the menu. Marron had a pizza and a salad. Trunks….a lot of pizza. And me I ate the entire salad bar! Total snack prize…….$245…! Trunks paid via his mother's private credit card (C-Corp. Card). She gave it to us for just this kind of situation.

Then we downed the complimentary mints lift a large tip and went.

We zoomed though the clothes shops and the boys didn't mind all that much because they just watched us model clothes using instant translocation to get into the changing room cubicles.

We were walking out of the mall and down the street when I grabbed them and dragged them into the local library.

"Jesse this is a shopping trip! That does NOT include a trip to the library." Marron protested.

"I like libraries." I protested.

"But they're full of books and stuff." Marron shuddered.

"Marron…does the word duh mean anything to you?" I hissed.

"But I'm allergic to books!" Goten squeaked.

"I've never been in a library." Marron put in. "I'm…scared of words!"

"Jesse? Jesse?" they called as I wondered into the library in search of Trunks. I found him reading books on computed mathematics.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey." He replied putting an arm around my waist.

"buried in numbers?" I enquired. He nodded. My cell bleeped with a message from Marron. 'Meet you at the main (fiction?) wing in an hour.' I chuckled slightly. Surely she knew what fiction meant!

I settled down reading books on the electron systems of elements above 20. Nothing really interesting that Bulma hadn't taught me.

"Hey." Trunks whispered some time later. "I think we should go now." I nodded. We headed to the fiction wing and found Goten and Marron at the entrance.

"You'll never guess what!" Marron squeaked.

"The men in white coats are coming to take you away?" I asked with sarcastic excitement. Marron pouted.

"No." she said.

"OK, what?" I asked.

"We got to sit down on a cushion and be read stories about stuffed bears and cute little doggies!" she squeaked.

"Er….Marron…." I started. "….Goten….."

"What?" they asked innocently. They looked so happy.

"never mind." I sighed shaking my head. "Who wants to go ice-skating?" We all agreed and that's where we headed.
