A/N: This is a sad story I thought of after reading an Lp fanfiction where Mike dies in a car wreck and Chester is depressed. So, this is dedicated to that story!

In a book in a box in the closet

In a line in a song I once heard

In a moment on a front porch late one June

In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon…

Bulma and Vegeta drove through the crowded streets of Los Angeles, exchanging glances and smiles every so often. As they headed out into the country, Vegeta turned his eyes from the windshield and leaned in to kiss his lover softly. As they pulled away, Bulma gasped and yelled, "Look out!"

Bulma stared at a picture of her and Vegeta, crying softly, her tears dropping onto the picture.

There it was at the tip of my fingers

There it was on the tip of my tongue

There you were and I had never been that far

There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

And I let it all slip away…

Bulma crawled from the wreckage of the two cars that were now smashed together. She made her way over to the driver's side of the car and leaned in the car; the door had been ripped off. She reached in and grasped Vegeta's body. "Vegeta! Oh, God, no!" she was sobbing now, as she stared into Vegeta's lifeless black eyes, which had once been so full of life and love.

"You promised you'd never leave me…" Bulma cried as she traced over the picture with her finger. The phone began to ring, but she ignored it. The answering machine picked up, playing the message recorded by the two lovers and making Bulma cry harder.

"Holla people! You've reached Bulma—"

"And Vegeta! We aren't able to answer the phone right now because we're either fucking each other, not home, or ignoring you. So just feel free to leave us a cute little message after the beep—"

"And we'll get back to you! Unless we forget."

"Or just don't feel like it."

"Kill ya later!"

BEEEEEEEEEP!

What do I do now that you're gone

No back up plan, no second chance

No one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say…

"Bulma, its Chi-chi. I know you're there, pick up the phone."

Bulma laid her head on Vegeta's chest and sobbed his name until no more energy was left in her body.

When the paramedics arrived, she refused to let them take Vegeta's body. After a long battle, which she lost, she kissed Vegeta one last time and then placed a hand over his lover's eyes and closed them.

The paramedics took Vegeta away while others treated the cuts on Bulma's face.

There's a rain that'll never stop falling

There's a wall that I've tried to take down

What I should've said just wouldn't pass my lips

So I held back and now we've come to this

And it's too late now…

"Bulma, pick up the goddamn phone! I know you miss him. We all do. But you have to keep going. You can't just distance yourself from everyone for the rest of your life."

Bulma continued ignoring her. Chi-chi finally gave up and said, "I'm coming over there. Don't bother locking the door because I'll kick it down if I have to." Then the line went dead.

Bulma knew what she was going to do, but she had to act fast.

What do I do now that you're gone?

No back up plan no second chance

No one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say

Are the words I couldn't say

I should have found a way

To tell you how I felt

Now the only one I'm telling' is myself…

She went into the bedroom that she and Vegeta once shared and walked quickly over to the closet, pulling out a black case. She sat down on the bed and opened the case. Inside laid a pistol that she'd bought for protective purposes.

What do I do now that you're gone?

No back up plan, no second chance

No one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say…

She loaded the gun and put it to her head. She barely heard the door to her bedroom slam against the wall. She hardly noticed Chi-chi screaming for her to drop the gun.

She cocked the weapon and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

Chi-chi screaming.

Blackness.

What do I do, what do I say

No one else to blame

All I can hear in the silence that remains

Are the words I couldn't say…

END
