***********Start

This pain in my heart that follows me by day
And at night it stalks me like the shadows on my wall

Bulma was startled as the lyrics immediately referred to a pain in a woman's heart. She felt the strength of the mental battle continue in her head, her emotions gaining and then losing ground in her conscience, neither side having any sort of permanent lead. But the mental battle was nothing to the immense sadness she felt, which grew with every second she spent away from Vegeta. And she couldn't get away from it, she doubted that it would go away even if she went to him.

Feels like the world is closin' on me
Feels like my dreams will never come to me
I keep on slippin' deeper into myself
And I'm scared, so scared

As Bulma concentrated on making a decision, the rational part of her mind started to gain ground. It told her that giving herself to Vegeta would bring only pain, heartbreak, and sadness. But she couldn't get rid of the feeling that she could easily give in to her feelings and go to him again. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the lyrics to come.

If you're troubled, you just gotta let it go
If you're worried baby, you just gotta let it go
All your hustles aint for nothing, you just gotta take it slow
When you need me baby, all you do is let it go

Bulma suddenly felt a rush of determination. She knew she couldn't just leave her feelings behind. Although she had never felt anything like it before, she knew what she had to do about her feelings. All she needed was the determination do so. She was so afraid of making a mistake . . .

Why does it feel that my mind is constantly trying to pull me down
I can't seem to get away
Continous mistakes I know I've made before
How long will I feel so out of place

Bulma then realized her mistake. She had been trying to forget about Vegeta and her problem. What she needed to do was face her problem, not run from it. She needed to talk to Vegeta. Making her decision, she abruptly stood up, splashing some water over the sides to the tub, and drained the water. She rinsed herself off, wrapped herself in a towel, and exited the bathroom.
