Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Life Through the Looking Glass ❯ From Understanding to Realization ( Chapter 24 )

I'd like to thank all of my reviewers. Many of you asked if the last chapter was the last. No it wasn't, as obvious from this next chapter. There are still many things that need to be wrapped up. I know this chapter is very short, but at least it got out earlier than the last ones. It's been done since Monday, but I haven't been in the mood to put it up. I'm still not in the mood, but I'm bored, depressed, and pushing off my essay that is again due tomorrow. A three page paper on a topic of my choice. I chose, With the recent talk of HIV's, why is the epidemic spreading faster instead of slowing down? Yeah, I know it kind of sucks. But it's something I'm interested in, so why not. I've taken two days off of school, and I don't plan on going tomorrow. I don't want to, but then again, I have too. I'm failing three classes. I don't exactly have a choice. I'm gonna try and get the next chapter out soon. It will also be very short, but also very, VERY important. And again I'm just blabbering. My talk is usually longer than the chapter. I know. But umm, yeah. I've got a few more chapters left. And you guys will know when it is done. There will be two words in BIG BOLD PRINT at the end of the chapter that says THE END. So you'll know.

For those of you who have wanted to read the unedited version of my story but could not find the site, it is now in my profile.

 

Chapter 24: From Understanding to Realization 

Have you ever loved someone? Loved someone so much, you were willing to die for them. To die has always been an adventure which many generations were fortunate to see. They could not live through it, but their souls could see it and feel it. But for some, it is only pain. Pain in which there is no escape from. Many have felt it, but few when they are alive. The only pain that could even compare to that of a broken heart. It's painful, but it is the only way to understand true torture. The pain that which envelopes a body can never be forgotten. But it is what we need to succeed as well as to live. Love is the key to understanding. But pain is the doorknob which opens the door. 

-From the Diary of Son, Pan

  (Son, Carina) 

Yeah, they were coming my way. And I saw the hesitation in him. Truth be told, I was a little hesitant too. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face him quite yet, but it didn't look as if I had a choice. I tried to make my way from my locker to my class without being spotted, but I knew Marron and her clique had already seen me. Trunks was walking my way with her and he was staring at me. He had the look in his eyes of betrayal when he looked at me. As if I had broken his heart. In truth I probably did. But he wasn't so innocent himself. He lied to me, thinking I would believe him. Thinking he would get away with it. But I knew all along, and he probably didn't realize it. 

“The fucking whore,” Marron's voice broke me out of my thoughts. 

“Better to be a fucking whore than a fucking slut,” I said sarcastically with an awkwardly calm demeanor. 

“And why is that?” Marron asked, playing this game I had set out. 

“Because at least I get paid for what it,” I replied having won the spat. Marron just pushed me out of her way into my locker. I could see the look in his eye. Apologetic, wanting, and sorrow. But that was soon replaced with anger and hatred. I felt my heart skip a beat. Marron than grabbed Trunks by the arm and dragged him away. I hoped I would get a chance to talk to him in my first period class. Just then I heard the bell ring, and I slowly made my way to class.

Trunks was sitting in his seat, face down by the time I got there. I knew why his head was down, he didn't want to speak to me. He was ashamed of me, but I had to try. I knew, he may not want to listen, but I was hoping he would at least give me a chance to explain. I sat next to him and I could tell he knew I was there. He turned his head with his back to me. I knew I had to say something. I looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to us, so I said the first thing that came to my mind.  

“I'm sorry.” I saw him flinch. He wasn't expecting that. But he made no other motion that he heard me. “I didn't mean to hurt you.” I really hadn't, but I needed him to know that. The late bell rang and the teacher started taking roll call. So I decided to pass him a note. I quickly wrote it and placed it on his desk. I saw him open it and read 

`Will you please just talk to me?' 

And he answered, `No.' 

`Give me a chance to explain.' 

`Why should I? You lied to me.' 

I felt angered by this. He had lied to me as well, and he thought he was the only one that was hurt. `You lied to me too. You said you didn't have a girlfriend. And even though you lied to me, I still love you.' 

I could see the realization come over his face. `You knew. And besides, I had reason. What was I supposed to tell my `fiancee,' I'll marry you, but I have a girlfriend?' I don't know many girls who would go along with that.' 

`I would have gone along with the truth! Then maybe I would have been truthful as well.' 

`I don't care Pan. I can't love you' 

`You can't love Pan? Or you can't love Carina?' 

Trunks didn't respond. And I knew then what his answer was. And I knew then what I would have to do.

Later that day… 

A young blond was walking to her locker to drop off the books she didn't need for her homework, and to pick up the ones she did. When she opened her locker, out fell an envelope onto the floor. She picked it up and saw that it had her name on it. When she opened the envelope what she saw made her heart skip a beat. There she saw pictures of her boyfriend kissing another woman.

Thank you all so very much. I'd also like to thank everyone that reviewed whose name I no longer have. And if I accidentally missed you. Thank you as well. When I read you're guys' reviews saying I was your favorite author or one of them, I almost cried. Literally. I'm really depressed right now, and you guys are really making me happy with the reviews. Thanks again.
