A lost love

Chapter three






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eric smiled at Pan. They had walked from the bus stop to his house, because they had no ride, and it was a small town. "We're here," Eric announced proudly, and walked up the sidewalk toward a modest-sized house. It was a light Blue, and had little white clay shingles. She thought it was lovely. Pan followed him up to the door, and he walked in, with her following him.

"Mom, Rosie? Anyone home? I'm back!" Eric called out loudly. Pan stood behind him, fidgeting uncomfortably. She felt very out of place. What if his mom didn't want her to live here? She would have no where to go!

"Eric?"
A large plump woman came running into the hall they were standing in. A teenage girl came in after her, at a slower pace. The woman gave him a huge bear hug, then pulling back to look at him. She looked delighted to see him. Then she focused on blushing Pan standing behind him. Her eyes twinkled. "And who is this, Eric? She's very pretty!" Eric grinned at Pan's blush.
"Mom, this is Pan Son. Pan, this is my family. This is my mom, Mary, and my younger sister, Rosie, who's nineteen, like you. This is Pan. We met on the plane over here, and she needs a place to stay. I volunteered to let her stay here. She can stay in the spare bedroom."

Pan smiled at Eric's family, "Pleased to meet all of you. I hope you don't mind, but I don't have anywhere else to go. Is it really okay?"

Mary nodded, smiling hugely. "Of course! Everyone's welcome here! You all come sit down in the living room. You both must be starving. I'll go make something. Rosie, you keep them both talking, you hear?" At her nod, she hurried into what Pan assumed must be the kitchen.
Eric and Pan were sitting in chairs in the living room. Rosie broke the awkward silence.
"So, Pan, what brings you to the US? I don't know your accent."

Eric rolled his eyes at Rosie. "Rosie, she's Japanese. Didn't I just come from Japan?"

Rosie blinked. "Really? But she has dark blue eyes!"

Pan laughed delightedly at her confused expression. She took pity on her.

"It's unusual, but don't you have all kinds of hair colors in the US?"

Rosie nodded. "Sorry, I'm just curious, and I say things before I think about it. It usually causes a lot of problems for me. So, what brings you here?"

Pan fidgeted, and to her relief, she didn't have to answer the question, because Mary chose that moment to come back in the room with a platter of finger sandwiches. Her mouth began to water. They looked really good. She grabbed a handful as soon as Mary sat the plate down on the coffee table, and shoved them in her mouth. Everyone watched in amazement. Eric hid a smile.

Rosie said softly, in a voice laced with awe, "Do you always eat like that?"

Pan turned red with embarrassment. "Um, yes. I'm a very hungry girl."

'Yeah, because I am a saiyian-jin!' her thought. (From Author's Note: right spelling or wrong? ^_^;)

Rosie laughed, "That's alright! Let me take you to your new room!"

Pan smiled, "Okay! Want to be friends?"

Rosie grinned, "Sure, let's go!"

She took Pan's hand and got her bags. They giggled and made their way to Pan's new room.

"Girls stuff..." sighed Eric, shocked his head.

Trunks sat on the bed with his hands on his face.

"Pan... I love you... I am so sorry what I did done...Pan, I need you, I hope you will come back very soon..."

Trunks heard knock on his door.

"Who is it?"

"It's Bra..." Bra opened the door. "Trunks, you can't stay in your room for so long, it not healthy..."

"I know, Bra. But I really need Pan. Pan didn't tell us where she is... I have to go look for her!"

"No, Trunks! Let her be alone, she want to left alone and I know she will come back, I promise... she still loves you I know she does," yelled back Bra.

Trunks looked at her and turned away to his window.

"Ok, we'll see... but if she doesn’t come back soon, I will search for her myself until I die."

"Ok, and please take care of yourself because you’re my only brother...Goodnight, Trunks."

"Goodnight, Bra," Trunks said quietly.

Bra left.

His tears fell down on his cheek.

"Pan...please come back to me..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rosie helped Pan unpack in Pan's new room. Rosie found Pan's picture of Trunks and Pan hugged each other, another when Pan kissed Trunks' cheek and Trunks laughed.

"Hey, is this your boyfriend?"

Pan gasped, turned to Rosie who was holding Pan's picture.

"Y-yes, but we broke up... about 2 week ago..." lied Pan. Pan didn’t want to talk about it. Rosie studied her face, shrugged.

"What's his name?"

"T-trunks..."

Rosie blinked, "Trunks? That means underwear?"

Pan laughed

"Yeah, his mother named him, that's why..."

Rosie saw her face sadly, she changed subject, "Hey, let's go out. I’ll show you around this place and maybe take you for some ice-cream with Eric, it will cheer you up."

Pan looked at her and smiled, "Okay, thanks..."

Rosie smiled back, "Let's go!"

Still, every time Pan thought about Trunks her heart ached. Why didn't Trunks love her?
