First Love

Chapter six




I had made up my mind and nobody was going to stop me. Marron and Pan had
tried to talk me out of it but it didn't work. For every time I was around Goten,
I felt strange and uncomfortable. He somewhat acted cold towards me whenever I was
around him. It was now a week after that day in the kitchen and I had made up my
mind. I was going to leave. I was going to leave this life. To get away from Goten
mostly, to try to escape the pain I was in. The emotional pain was just too great
and every time I saw him and Paris it only got worse. I had convinced Pan and
Marron not to tell anyone. Well, actually to be truthful, I threatened them. I
laughed softly at the memory. I had said that if they didn't keep quite I would
tell Trunks that they liked him. That did the trick. I looked at the clock and
saw that it was exactly 1:00 am. I looked around my room one more time before
placing a letter on my pillow and walking out of my room, out of the house, and
out of their lives.

"One ticket to America, please."
"Where to in America, miss?"
"Doesn't matter. As long as its not here."
"Alright. Here's your ticket."
"Thanks." I looked at the ticket to see where in America I would be
heading. 'Georgia. { And NO that's not were I live. It's just that I wanted
somewhere in America that people don't use very often.} Well, I heard that
that's a pretty nice place. Good thing I took those English lessons. And good
thing that I've been saving up too. But I did take a little from my mother's
account. I hope she doesn't get angry.' I thought. I sighed and sat down in a
chair waiting for my plane to arrive. I closed my eyes but when I did I was
only assaulted but the painful memory of what happened last night. It was that,
that had actually drawn me to this decision of running away. Sure I had thought
about running away before but when I saw what I did last night I knew I HAD to
run away. For I knew if I stayed I would not be able to stand the pain, not tha
t running away would make it any better but at least I wouldn't have to see Goten
or Paris any more. I opened my now watery eyes; I reached a hand up to wipe away
a small tear. 'No, Goten. I will not cry because of you.' I stared off into space
as I remembered what had happened last night.


* flashback *


I was outside taking a walk in the park. Even though it was late that
didn't matter. I followed the concrete sidewalk through various parts of the
park thinking about my life. It was kind of dark but I could still see perfectly.
I was about to turn around and go home when I heard something, so I decided to go
see what it was. When I got to the spot where I kept hearing the noise come from,
a small gasp escaped my lips. I had just shown up in time to watch Goten get down
on one knee and ask Paris to marry him. I couldn't believe it! I turned away
quickly and ran. I went to back to my house and decided that it was now the time
for me to leave.


* end flashback *


I knew that tomorrow Goten and Paris would be announcing to everyone about their
engagement and I didn't feel like going through that. So I packed what I most needed.
Wrote a letter to my mother and father and left. But not before taking the money I
had saved up and a bit of my mom's. But I had also called Marron and Pan before I
left, telling them I was now leaving. It didn't matter that it had been around
midnight, for I knew that they were still up. The announcer's voice brought me
out of my thinking state. I heard her announce my flight and I picked up my bag.
I walked over to where they were taking the tickets and handed mine to the man
who was collecting them. He gave me the part that I was allowed to keep; I
shoved it into my pocket and walked along the terminal to the plane. I stepped
inside and was immediately attended by a stewardess. She showed me to a seat and
asked if I wanted anything to eat or drink. I said no and she went away. I clutched
my bag to my chest, while tears rolled down my cheeks. I looked out the window as
the plane started to lift off. I saw everything becoming smaller and smaller and
in my mind I was thinking one thing. 'Goodbye everyone.'

oard the plane and I got up. After I had given them my ticket I walked down the terminal to the plane. I picked a seat and sat down repairing myself for the long ride back to my hometown and then I closed my eyes to let the weariness of the day and the silent lulling of sleep over come me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
