First Love

Chapter eight






I froze right then and there. I swear I thought I even felt my heart
stop. My eyes widened and I began to slowly put down my hand. For I knew that
voice yes I knew that voice very well. I started to get up from my kneeling
position and while I was doing this I felt his eyes watching my every move.
I turned around to look at him and only one word escaped my lips, in fact it
was barely even audible.
"Trunks." { Probably thought it was going to be Goten, didn't you? }
"Bra." My eyes were beginning to water at the sight of my brother. I
was just soo glad to see him. And if I started crying, for once in my life they
would be tears of joy, not tears of sadness. I couldn't help myself anymore and
I ran to my brother and hugged him, allowing my tears to fall. I was kind of
surprised when he hugged me back. I mean sure somewhere in my heart I knew that
he would but then wouldn't he be mad at me for going away like that? I didn't
really care at that point though, for I was just too happy to be able to see
my brother again. Then I felt him pull me away a bit, enough so that he could
look at me.
"God, Bra, how've I missed you. God, how all of us have missed you." I smiled slightly but then I frowned.
"Aren't you mad at me for running away like that?"
"I was at first. But that letter you left us gave us some reassurance.
I guess you could say that we all were more worried than mad though. And I think
that Goten was probably the one that was worried the most, believe it or not.
It's strange though, it has always seemed like him, and Pan, and Marron were
always hiding something from the rest of us. That's silly though, I knew as well
as the others that if they knew something they would tell us." I had listened to
all of what Trunks had said but most of my attention went to when he said that
Goten had seemed the one that was most worried. I wondered why Goten would even
be worried about me. But then I thought that he probably just felt guilty. But
I guess he had a good reason to. Over the 2 years I had been gone I had learned
to accept the fact that I would always love Goten but then over the years I had
somewhat grown a hatred for him. A hatred that was sparked by him breaking my
heart, a hatred that was there for making me cry so much, and a hatred that was
there because it was just there. I know it sounds weird, being able to hate and
yet love someone at the exact same time but it's true, oh so very true. Ask anyone
who has ever had something like this happen to them, they shall tell you. I looked
at Trunks and smiled again. When he saw me smiling at him, he smiled right back
at me. "Say, Bra-chan, would you like to come home now?" I sighed sadly.
"No, Trunks, not just yet. Not just yet."
"Oh." You could hear the disappointment in his voice.
"But, hopefully I shall come home soon. Just, not yet. You won't tell anyone I'm here, will you?" I asked with urgency.
"No, I won't Bra-chan. Just tell me where your staying at though, so I can come see you if I want."
"All right. I'm staying at The CrossWay Hotel."
"Ok. And I hope you decide to come home soon, Bra-chan. Everyone misses you. And I know that Mom and Dad would love to see you."
"I know, I know."
"I'll see you later little sis."
"Yes, later." I said with a smile as I went and hugged him one more time. I
then watched him take off into the sky. I soon decided to follow suit. Only I walked,
for I could not risk flying. I knew that if I decided to fly, they might pick up on my
ki and I just couldn't take that chance. So, I walked away smiling. "Trunks just better
not tell anyone!" I said softly to myself. But little did I know that someone had been
in the shadows the whole time. Listening to mine and Trunks' conversation, word for word.
