Sorry for the long wait on these chapters. I did have writers block for a while lol. But i managed to get this one down. Enjoy.
Chapter 7: Last Chance
Chi Chi stared blankly into the bathroom mirror. Her left eye was badly bruised. It was both purple and blue in colour. She tried to conceal it with makeup but it was still very visible. She contemplated whether she should attend school today. But she knew very well, that her new friend wouldn't allow her to flunk out. She flinched as her step-father banged on the door viciously.
"You little whore. I knew that boy was nothing but trouble. Now look at yourself. Pregnant. You're still a child yourself. You're disgusting, worthless, whore."
Tears slid down her face as she continued to listen to her step-father's insults.
"No one loves you. Not even that little coward who got you pregnant. What did you thought that a boy his age wants to be a father? No. That's why he left you. You're nothing." He laughed as he stood behind the door. "You're fucked now." She heard his footsteps walk down the hallway. She waited until he slammed the door on his way out.
She fell to the ground on her knees. Her hands gripping on to the edge of her skirt. She closed her teary eyes tightly shut. Silently praying. "Please. I just want this child to be safe. I can't deal with another loss if this pregnancy doesn't go well." She opened her eyes and thought about what her step-father had said to her. "No one loves you." In her mind she thought of her real father and how he wouldn't be proud of her situation. That thought made her cry harder.
A ping sound came from her phone. She looked at it and noticed Bulma's name on it. The message read; 'Good morning Chi Chi. I have this feeling you're having second thoughts on coming to school. Am I correct? If I am you better think twice. Or I will kick your butt. I will be coming over to pick you up. So be ready please. Bulma.x.'
Chi Chi laughed as she read the text. Her mood had lifted a little as she got ready for school. She stared in the mirror and noticed she looked too pale. She applied more makeup. Adding blush to finish the look. She put reading glasses on. So her bruise could be hidden beneath them. Satisfied with her appearance she went out the front, locking the house and waited. A black car parked at the front of her house and out stepped the tall body guard of Bulma's.
"It's Nappa right?" Asked Chi Chi. She felt extremely small compared to him.
"It is. Good morning Chi Chi." He said as he opened the back door for her.
"Thank you very much for doing this Nappa. I apologise if I am imposing." He nodded to her, but didn't say anything, so she assumed it was ok. She stepped inside and saw Bulma sitting with her legs crossed.
"You don't need to thank him. In fact he doesn't like the whole 'thank you' thing. I don't know why." She smirked. But immediately stopped as she got a clear look at her raven haired friend. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"What? Nothing is wrong. Why do you ask?" Chi Chi fiddled with her thumbs in her lap. She felt the car move. So to avoid the awkward silence she stared out the window.
Bulma frowned. She stared into the rear view mirror and straight at Nappa who was also staring back. Both knew something had happened, but didn't want to push the pregnant teen and cause her stress upon herself and the unborn child.
They pulled up in the schools parking lot. The ride there was too quiet for Bulma. She enjoyed silence. But for some reason it made her awfully uncomfortable.
They all stepped out of the car with Nappa close behind them. As they walked to the school building they had all eyes on them. This annoyed Bulma.
"I will never get use to this much attention." She glared at all the students who passed her by and gawked at her. This caused them to avert their gaze when a pair of blue eyes would stare with fury toward them.
"Well you're pretty much a celebrity Bulma. With your father being the founder of Capsule Corp. You can only imagine why they stare at you. Think of it as admiration." Smiled Chi Chi.
"Admiration? More like a circus freak trapped within a cage, while these idiots stare and take photos of me." Bulma rolled her eyes. "Let's hurry. I hate being centre of attention."
Goku had been miserable all morning. He felt lost for the first time in his life. His normal routine was to call Chi Chi every morning to see how she slept or how she was going. He would pick her up to drive her to school and to return her home safely. All that had changed since the fight he had with her and he regret dearly for the way he treated her in front of the entire class. He didn't know what to say he was mad but happy at the same time. He didn't know the first thing of being a father. When he was just a baby his father had left to go to war. But he never came back. That's what his mother had told him. He was that caught up in his thoughts he hadn't realised Krillen and Vegeta had joined him in the back of the classroom.
"Did you hear? Kira is pulling a massive party tonight at hers." Said Krillen.
"Like I care about that ugly whore." Vegeta didn't care one bit. In fact he was fed up with the mention of his ex-girlfriend. Regretting every bit of dating her.
"Well apparently it's the biggest one yet. They say if you aren't invited to her party you're not one of the cool kids."
"I never categorised myself as one of the 'cool kids' anyways. I am in a group of my own. And if that's not cool then I don't know what is." Smirked Vegeta.
This made both Krillen and Vegeta burst in laughter. But Goku didn't join in on the fun.
Krillen elbowed him. "Hey bro? What's wrong? You've been quiet all morning, which is the first." Goku didn't acknowledge him.
Vegeta frowned. He was tired of his best friend crying over an easy problem that's simple to fix. Instead of cheering him up he smacks him hard on the back of his head. Finally gaining his attention. "You're fucking weak Kakarott. Grow some balls and go apologise to the woman. If she doesn't accept your apology then move the fuck on. I'm sure she is already anyways. But sad thing since she is pregnant you'll have to pay child support. That's if you don't make up with her." Snapped Vegeta. His eyes were blazing with anger as he stared at his friend.
"Oh man Vegeta that's not nice." Said Krillen. "It's amazing you two are best friends."
"Tsk. Best friends tell the truth not lie to one another. It's probably why you don't have one. You lying piece of shit." Growled Vegeta.
"You're so mean Vegeta." Krillen pouted as he stared the opposite side.
"No he's right." Goku said. Standing suddenly he dashed for the door. Ignoring the teacher behind him.
"He's right? You're so mean Goku." Said Krillen.
"You're a dummy and a lying piece of shit." Laughed Vegeta. He smiled as he watched his friend run out the door. "Don't fuck up this time Kakarott. You only have one shot." Thought Vegeta.
"All I need to do is say I'm sorry for everything. Tell her I will support her 100% Yes that should work. I hope." He ran down the hallway towards Chi Chi classroom. He remembered what classes she had and what room it was in. It was probably the only thing he would remember. "Please give me one last chance Chi Chi." Thought Goku as he carried on down the corridor.
Bulma's eye twitched madly as she could feel a certain girl burning holes in the back of her head. She whipped her head around and glared back at Kira. 'Why the hell are we in the same class again. Bitch probably can't even solve one mathematical problem.' Bulma thought.
"What are you staring at whore?" Asked Kira.
"Kira, mind your language." Said the teacher.
"Bulma keeps staring at me sir. I think she is in love with me. Because she's lesbian I heard." She smiled evilly as the class went full on Chinese whispers.
"So fucking immature." Whispered Bulma underneath her breath. She didn't want to act on it for the sake of the Briefs and Nappa. So she was the adult in the situation and ignored the pest that sat in the back. She faced the front and continued to jot down notes.
"I told you she's lesbian. She's probably blushing right now." Kira smirked.
Bulma's grip broke the pencil she held in her hand. She looked up at Nappa who stood in front. He motioned his head side to side. Obviously not wanting her to act immaturely by arguing back.
Chi Chi stood up from her seat. She was located 2 seats in front of Bulma. She looked back at Kira who had a cunning smile on her face.
"Will you shut up Kira? You're just saying that because Vegeta broke up with you for her. We all know he likes her. I don't see why not because she's much beautiful then you are." Snapped Chi Chi.
"Fuck up you fucking slut. You have no right talking to me like that. Why are you even at school? You're pregnant. You probably don't know who the father is either you whore." Snarled Kira.
"Kira that was uncalled for." Said the teacher "Detention for you after school."
Chi Chi frowned. She touched her stomach and closed her eyes. "This is all your fault Goku." She whispered. She ran out of the classroom in tears. She wanted to run as fast as she could. Away from everyone. As she ran out of the door she hadn't noticed Goku standing there about to knock.
"Chi Chi?" Goku yelled out to her. But she just continued running.
"Goku Son, what are you doing out of class?" Asked the teacher. The wild haired teen ignored him and ran after her.
"That's it." Yelled Bulma. She threw her desk out of her way and stalked up to Kira with clenched fists. "I'm sorry Nappa. But I've had it with this bitch."
"Chi Chi? Wait. Please." Yelled Goku.
She didn't want to stop even though she could hear him loud and clear. She wanted to escape her problems. And running was her only way. But of course Goku was too fast for her. He grabbed her arm and turned her to him. She cast her eyes to the ground to avoid him.
"Chi Chi? Look at me please." Goku said gently.
"Why? So you can yell at me and embarrass me like yesterday?" Her whisper sounded angry.
"No. So I can apologise for the way I acted." His face dropped when she finally looked up at him. He could notice a dark blue mark on her eye. He put his thumbs under her eyes to wipe the tears. She flinched at his touch. "Chi Chi? What happened? Who did this to you?"
She stared into his eyes and began to shake violently as she could remember what her step-father did to her. "He. He hit me." She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. "He hit me Goku. He called me a whore. He said that no one loves me. He said you didn't love me. He. He." She sobbed in his chest.
Goku returned her hug. Crushing her against him. Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring his vision. "I'm so sorry Chi Chi. I should've been there for you. I didn't mean anything I said that day. I was shocked. I didn't know what to do. I love you more than anything, anyone. I'm so sorry Chi Chi. Please forgive me." His words sounded shaky.
"But my step-dad said you don't love me?" Cried Chi Chi.
He parted her from his body roughly. Staring into her eyes he frowned. "Of course I love you. I have been miserable without you. And it has only been less than 24hrs. Don't you ever listen to him ok? I will deal with him myself for what he has done to you."
"But." Goku interrupted her.
"No but's." He dropped to the ground on his knees and held on to her hand as he stared up at her. "Chi Chi please take me back. I'm so sorry for what I did to you. I didn't mean those harsh words I said to you. I'm deeply sorry for abandoning you and our unborn child. I want nothing but to be with you two till the end. I will make up for what I have done by protecting you from now on. Please forgive me."
"I forgive you. But if you ever hurt me again I will kick your ass Goku Son. And you will lose me forever. And that's a promise." She gave him a small smile.
"Well let's begin a fresh start shall we?" Stated Goku. He hopped back up on to his feet and hugged her tightly. Suddenly the bell rang, it was time for their next class.
Interesting Chapter. How do you all feel about Chi Chi getting back with Goku? And she has been getting beat by her step dad. If Bulma found out, which she does have a suspicion something is up, she would go insane. Review this chapter helps a lot.
