Chapter 5

18's POV

I remember the events that took place in that house like it was yesterday, how could I forget? Everything was too hard in that house and no matter what you did it was never enough. My aunt treated us all like children up to the very end and I will never forgive her for the things she did. The preaching, the punishments, and the rules, it was all too extreme to make any sense. I mean, my child has rules to follow but I don't give her an hour to do everything with penalty if it takes longer. I'm not like that but my aunt was.

Everyone was pitiful in that house and it seemed to make us more powerless than they really were. Take for example me, I could have, and would have now, easily shut my aunt up but something then was stopping me, something had a hold of me. There was some power in that house that none of us can explain or ever expect to. I guess we should just be thankful that most of us made it out alive.

Anyway, I'll get to that later but for now I will pick up where Chichi left off. It had been just a month after that that we had another problem in our near future. Chichi was part of this problem and that little servant boy was the other part of the problem.

"You are kidding right? Tell me it's not true, Chichi," I said.

Chichi shook her head in response," I am pregnant, 18."

"I should just kill you right now. What about our plans? You just want to stay here the rest of your life."

"Cut it out 18," Goku yelled taking ChiChi's hand, "Just leave her alone. This means we have to get out of here sooner."

"And you plan on doing that how? We have no money!"

"I have money, don't worry."

"How did you get money?"

"As soon as I found out I found a way to get some and that's all you need to know. Anyway we got to get out of here quick okay."

"Great but can we leave Bulma?"

"No," Chichi gasped.

"No," Goku agreed," Chichi and her are our top priority people to get out got it."

"Perfect planning," I mumbled, "Hey you picked a nice time to have sex for the first time Chichi. God I can't believe this."

"Oh just shut up it's none of your business anyway," Chichi whispered harshly.

"None of my business? How is it none of my business? I'm in this plan aren't I and you're interfering with it. Come on," I whispered.

"Just forget it you wouldn't understand anyway would you. Anyway, we are not leaving anyone behind, don't worry 18 we'll all get out of here I promise," Chichi said.

"Can't we just leave Bulma? What good is it going to do to take her with? Well? She's dead weight ChiChi, let's leave her," I said.

"We can't leave her 18 that's not fair to her," Chichi replied.

"Not fair? I'll tell you what's not fair. It's not going to be fair when we get to the hotel and wake up to find Bulma going back to daddy so we have to follow her causing us to have to go back."

"That will not happen."

"Okay Chichi."

"Please 18 just don't," Chichi mumbled.

"Fine but when it happens I don't even have to say anything."
Goku sighed, "Just stop fighting."

"Excuse me," I said backing away and in to another room.

I figured about that time that I better pack my stuff so I'm ready for whatever they decide. It didn't bother me that Chichi was pregnant the more I thought about it, after all it means we'll be out sooner. So I walked up those damn stairs like everyday but that day I was packing.

Bulma was standing by her father's door in the hallway when I got up there. I tried to look the other way but my eyes were dawn to the pitiful scene. She was standing there as if someone propped her up against the wall like a stick. Everything about her looked gone, how could we afford to take that with us? You could erase all her facial features and never miss them because she never uses them.

Vegeta came out of the room and looked at me for a minute, I tried to ignore him but again I couldn't look away. His eyes were set on me like I had disturbed him but then he caught a glimpse of Bulma and turned his attention to her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her and himself in the room slamming the door as hard as he could without damaging anything. I didn't even want to know what was going on in there. If they really wanted to save her then why don't they just kill him that would help a lot I'm sure.

Anyway I got to my room still thinking about pitiful Bulma. I just couldn't stop thinking about her and her situation. Maybe it was sort of sad but it wasn't my problem right. She was the second person to come to this house but the first people I saw. They came a week before everyone else to ask in person if they could stay. Vegeta had to explain his circumstance of losing his "wife" and his home. You could tell right from the start that something wasn't right about him he looked so mean that none of the kids ever wanted to be near him except Bulma. She loved him a whole lot from the start and I wonder what she is feeling for him now. That little girl hung on him day and night but it wasn't until a few years ago that he started loving her back. But like I said it's none of my business.

I shoved a couple pairs of clothes in a small bag I could easily carry on my back. Sacrificing some of the clothes was not an easy thing to do I had to decide what I could go without changing for a few days. Another thing to gather up was money, which I could steal from my aunt some how. Maybe this would work out just fine getting the things to leave wasn't so hard. The thing I had to remember was that Bulma was nothing to worry about but…never mind she's just deadweight anyway.
