Chapter 11

Gohan placed his hands on his hips. "Good Videl nice form! Good work Goten! Easy on that punch!" he shouted from afar watching Videl and Goten fight. The raven haired girl had come a long way in her training and was now sparing with Goten. 'She sure has gotten a lot stronger,' he thought watching her throw a punch at Goten nearly knocking him out of the air. The chibi was fighting in his base form and was still noticeably stronger than the teen girl. "Alright guys I think that's enough for today!" he yelled up at them. They stopped fighting and landed down to the ground.

Videl panted trying to catch her breath. "Damn," she said putting a hand to her chest, feeling her heart beat rapidly.

"That was fun," Goten said happily smiling.

"Nice work Videl, great job Goten," Gohan complimented.

She shot a glare at Gohan. "How can he not be out of breath? He barely even broke a sweat!" she complained.

The demi saiyan knew he had to come up with something fast. "Well Goten has been training a lot harder than you're use to so he's built up more endurance and he has better control of his ki," he said hoping she would by it.

She stomped up to him putting her hands on her hips, giving him a deep icy stare so scary that he could've sworn she was looking into his very soul. "That sounds like a load of bullshit! If you're gonna keep lying to me then don't even bother being my friend! I have been trying to be patient with the fact that you don't want me to know certain things but for Kami's sake Gohan your excuses are getting really old! If you value me as a friend you'll tell me the truth!" she said.

Gohan stood in awe. He wanted nothing more than to tell her the truth but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was scared. He loved her so much and he was scared to lose her. He sighed, "I'm sorry Vi, I-I can't," he said his voice cracking.

"Well then so am I," she said walking away from him and Goten, putting her head down refusing to show that she was now crying. 'He still doesn't trust me enough to tell me his secrets,' she thought as she made her way back to the house.

"Videl, what's wrong?" asked Chichi as she watched the girl head towards her son's room. She followed the tomboy and stood by the door worrily.

"N-nothing Chichi," she replied forcing her voice to sound normal as she gathered her capsules, stuffing them in her pockets. "I think I'm gonna go. Thank you for having me I really enjoyed my visit here and I hope to see you again soon," she bowed respectfully and then began making her way towards the front door.

Chichi frowned as she watched Videl's hand touch the doorknob. "Do you really have to go?" she asked.

Videl smiled sadly staring at the doorknob for a few moments. "I-...I-," she sighed pausing before turning to face the mother of her crush. "Yes," she replied before turning again to face the door, opening and walking through it. She was met with a familiar pair of onyx eyes. She glared at them.

"Vi-" Gohan tried.

"Shut up! I'm leaving! Just don't ever talk to me again!" she shouted walking past him before flying off into the sky. Videl reached in her pocket and pulled out her phone scrolling through her contacts until she found the name she was looking for. She tapped the name with her thumb and held the phone close to her ear.

Riiiiing….riiiiiing….riiiiiiing….clicup! "Hello?" a voice answered.

"Erasa! I need a place to crash for a little while. Can I come over?" Videl asked.

"You know you don't have to ask Vi, you're always welcome. You know my mom loves you. You're like her second daughter," the blonde haired girl said.

Videl smiled. "Well I'm on my way I'll be there in about 15 minutes," she said.

"Okay see you when you get here," she said hanging up the phone.

*Back at the Son's*

"What happened Gohan?" Chichi asked looking at her son.

He sighed and sat down in the nearest chair. He put his head down touching his aching temple with his middle and index finger. "She got upset because I didn't tell her something," he said.

His mother placed her hands on her hips. "Well why not?"

"Why not what?" Gohan asked.

"Why didn't you tell her?"

"Because…"

"Because what?" she asked.

"Because I was scared! Okay? Scared of how she would react..scared of what she'd think! I don't just like her, I love her and it hurts! It hurts so much!" the young demi saiyan cried.

Chichi placed a hand on her son's shoulder and brought him into a hug. "Oh honey I know. Love is suppose to hurt sometimes. That's how you know you really love someone. Sometimes the love will hurt so much you feel a pain in your chest because the thought of living without them makes it hard for you to hold on," she said rubbing the back of his head. "I know you're scared to tell her the truth but you don't have to be scared anymore. She cares for you deeply I see it and I know you see it too. If you tell her it will only make the bond between the two of you even stronger just have a little faith. I know it's been hard to have faith especially lately with your dad gone and everything but please Gohan don't lose your faith," she begged as the tears rolled down her cheeks.

Gohan sniffled. "Yeah okay mom," he said.

"Mom? Gohan? What's wrong?" asked the Goku chibi.

"N-nothing Goten, just go back to bed" Chichi said.

"Why are you crying?"

"GOTEN GO TO BED!" she shouted.

"Gah! Yes ma'am!" Goten yelled scared running back to his room.

*Erasa's house*

"So you just left?"

Videl nodded. She was freshly showered in her signature pigtails, wearing pj's and sitting on the bed with her blonde best friend.

"Damn, why would Gohan still keep secrets from you aren't you guys like dating?" Erasa asked.

The raven hair girl blushed. "We're not dating for the millionth time, we're just friends...or at least we were," Videl frowned, looking down staring at the blanket she was wrapped up in.

Erase raised a brow, "But you do like him," she stated.

Videl sighed. "Yes I do," she admitted.

"Well then tell him how you feel and then maybe he'll be open enough with you to tell you all of his secrets. I mean he does like you too," she said.

The teenage fighter folder her arms and bit the inside of her cheek in frustration. "He sure has a funny way of showing it. I doubt I'll see or hear from him again," she said.

Erasa gave her best friend a reassuring smile. "Now Vi you know that's not true. This won't cause you guys to split your bond is a lot stronger than that," she said.

Videl sighed interlocking her fingers together. "With the way things are now it's a wonder how we even have a bond, this is gonna sound really freaky and weird but we use to be able to reach each other's minds," she said.

The blonde stared at her friend in disbelief. "What? Like actually read each other's minds?" she asked.

"Yeah I know it's weird and hard to believe but yeah we use to. The connection we had was so strong but somehow it faded and after that we became even more distant," Videl said frowning.

"Wow that's really freaky," said the blond haired girl.

"Yeah kinda. It wasn't so bad though. I mean it was just like talking to him," explained Videl.

Erasa pressed her lips firmly furrowing her brows in uncertainty, "I guess," she said. "Hey I know didn't you get invited to Bulma Brief's party?"

"Yes, but I don't think I'll be going," Videl said.

The blue eyes girl raised a brow, "Why because of Gohan?" she asked.

"Well yeah...I kinda don't wanna see him," she said.

Erasa stood up off of the bed proudly placing her hands on her hips, "Don't let some misunderstanding cause you to miss out on an opportunity like this. Even if you still have issues with Gohan the least you could do is show up for Mrs. Brief. She did invite you after all."

Videl sighed, "Yeah I guess you're right," she said.

The blonde clasped her hands together, "Great! And while you're here we can go shopping!" She shouted excitedly.

Videl groaned, "Awe man," she frowned.

"Come on Vi, shopping isn't that bad," Erasa said.

"That's what you think," Scoffed Videl.

*Shopping Day*

"Erasa!" Videl shouted through the door of the dressing room. She was flustered because her best friend kept handing her outfits that showed too much of her skin.

"What Vi? You have a nice body so why not show it off?" She said as she tossed another outfit over the door of the dressing room.

Videl caught the outfit in one swift motion. She held it up to get a better look at it. The outfit was a one piece. It was strapless with really low cut shorts. The tom boy gripped the outfit firmly in her hand clenching her fists tightly as she felt her cheeks flush with rage. "Erasa!" She shouted.

"What? I thought you liked shorts," the blonde defended through the other side of the changing room.

Videl took a deep breath. "I do but not this short," she pouted flinging the outfit over the door of the room.

"Geez what am I gonna do with you," her best friend sighed. "Oh well I'll go put this back and look for something else," she said taking the outfit and then disappearing in another clothes rack.

Videl sat down on a bench in the changing room staring at her phone deep in thought. There was only one person on her mind...Gohan. She looked at his contact name in her phone and sighed heavily.

"Vi? Are you alright?" Erasa asked through the door.

"Yeah," she said trying to sound convincing but Erasa knew her better than that.

The green eyed girl frowned, "Is it Gohan?" She asked.

Videl sighed deeper, "Yes," she admitted.

Her friend smiled through the door. "Well I'm sure you guys will be okay in no time," she said reassuringly.

"I guess," Videl said frowning.

"Hey I know how about you pick out something to wear at Bulma Brief's party. That way you'll have an outfit just in case you change your mind," she said.

The raven haired beauty sighed in defeat. "Well alright," she said. 'There's no point in arguing with her,' she thought as she continued to look at her phone. Gohan… Her thought was interrupted by a pile of clothes being thrown on her head. "Oooff!"

"Try those on!" Erasa shouted.

Videl only grumbled in irritation as she shuffled through the clothes she was given. There were a total of five outfits. The first outfit was high waisted dark blue jeans with a yellow crop top hoodie and a white belt, the second outfit was a pair of navy green cargo pants that were slightly baggy with a black strapless shirt, the third outfit was a tight dark blue dress, the fourth outfit was a black short sleeved button down blouse with thin grey lines it had with it a short black skirt and the fifth outfit was a long tight strapless wind red dress with a slit on the side. Once she finished trying them all on she handed all of the outfits back to Erasa.

"Well?" She asked as she watched her best friend exit the changing room.

"Well what?"

"How did you like the outfits?" Erasa asked finally.

"Oh I didn't like anything," Videl said causing her best friend to fall over anime style.

"What do you mean!? I really tried to hard to find these for you! You're buying them!" Erasa said in a voice so sinister it would bring chills to even Freeza.

The blue eyes girl gulped, "Fine maybe not all of them were that bad but if im getting all of these then I'm gonna get some new training Gi while I'm at it," she said as she went to go search for some.

Erasa took the clothes and put them in a cart full of her own things she wanted. 'And now to find some cute accessories and shoes to go with all of these outfits!'

*The Next Day*

It had been a few days since Gohan and Videl had spoken or seen each other since their fight and Videl was nervous that she'd see him in school. Erasa had eased some of her worry earlier that morning and she felt better when he didn't show for their first period. As the bell rang for her next class Videl gathered her books and began to head towards the door. She looked down not paying attention when suddenly she bumped into a large hard object causing her to lose her balance. She began to stumble and almost fell had it not been for the object in front of her stopping her fall. She felt two big strong hands hold onto her shoulders starting her so that she didn't fall and when she looked up she immediately frowned realizing who the strong hands belonged to.

"Hey Videl," Gohan said with a nervous smile.
