December Groom

December 7th

Wow the first week of December is already over. I can't believe how fast it's going. I can't believe Trunks and I are together either. It just doesn't seem real.

School today was boring so I won't bore you with those details. Basically, I took tests and did well on them, and Trunks did well on them too. We take the same classes after all.

It was when we were at Capsule Corp that I heard something that made me freeze. I never actually thought I would hear the words, let alone out of my father's mouth.

"Chi and I are getting a divorce. We just can't seem to agree on anything, well accept one thing. We agree that we accept Goten. Other than that, we fight about everything"

Trunks must not have heard it because when I froze mid step, he asked if I was okay. I lied and said I was fine,but my mind was racing. I was thinking all sorts of crazy things like Who will you live with now? Will you have to move? If you do, will you be further away from Trunks?, Etc.

"Goten! Hey, 'Ten!" he yelled waving his hand in front of my face.

"Oh shit. Sorry. Didn't realize I spaced out. So what do we do first?"

"Well Calculus gave the most homework, so I feel like we should get that done first"

We were just finishing the last problem when Bulma called us downstairs. Trunks was curious, but I knew what it was about, or at least what it could be about. We reached the bottom of the stairs and I saw my father talking with Vegeta.

"Boys, I wanted to let you both know some very big news. Good or bad news first?" she asked.

"Bad news first" I said, maybe a bit too quickly

"Goten, your parents are divorcing. I'm so sorry sweety. You are welcome to stay here until the court resolves the custody battle" Bulma said.

"What if, in the court case, I lose Goten?" I heard my dad yell from across the house.

Tears started to form in my eyes at the thought of losing my father. He was my best friend when I couldn't confide in Trunks. My father knew about everything before anyone else did.

"Goten?"

"Trunks, I can't lose him. I can't lose my dad. I just can't" I said as tears started to form in my eyes.

"Goten, it's okay. I'm here. Everything will be okay" I felt his hands go through my hair.

He led me to the couch and we layed down and he pulled me in close to him. I just cried for what seemed like ever and Trunks just ran his fingers through my hair, trying to calm me down. Kami, I love him.

I ended up falling asleep. I had emotionally worn myself out and cried myself to exhaustion. I don't remember if I had a good dream or not but I don't really care. There is no dream better than my relationship with Trunks and that is a dream come true.

I woke up with Trunks holding me so tightly I was barely able to wriggle free to write this all down. I'm tired and feel like I could pass out at any moment. I'll try to get a lot of sleep tonight so I'm not as tired tomorrow. Maybe Trunks can get us out of school tomorrow too. Anyways, I have to go. I'll write later, I promise.
