I don't own the characters or the song.
Read this FIRST: To fully understand this fanfic you'll need to know some background info on a hopefully Pokemon special airing in the U.S. soon. The special is call "Team Rocket: Love and The Origin of Youth. I'm sure you all know that Jessie and James met up at Pokemon Tech, a school for Pokemon trainers. They ended up failing the final exam and running away together. Later, they joined a bridge bike gang in Sunnydale Town. Now, in the special, it seems they don't care to work together. Or, at least they pretend to not want to. Now, I'm assuming at some point between the bike gang and them joining up with T.R. there was an argument. Either that or the English dubbers have decided to abandon Jessie and James' childhood experiences entirely. But, I'll go with the first one. So, this fanfic briefly describes their fight.
Important Note: (added 4/ 28/ 05) This fanfic was originally written with Pokemon's "Together Forever" in the the text. Since new "policy" has taken into effect, I've been been forced to remove the lyrics from the text. Due to this, much of the fanfic's feeling, if you will, was taken out. I hope you enjoy it anyway.
James' P.O.V.
It's over. Everything's over. Rain is trickling down my face as I stare over the bridge; looking after someone I know will never return. Jessie. She's never coming back. I look around me to find all of my fellow gang members staring at me, bewildered. I turn away, running, completely ignoring the gang's pleading calls for me to come back. The rain is pouring down even harder now, but it doesn't matter. My feet are splashing in the rain's puddles as I continue to run harder and faster. When I turn around and see that none of the gang is following me I abruptly stop. I look down and my wet face is reflecting off of one of the puddles. I have a scar on my right cheek that's bleeding slightly. I guess I got that from one of those Rocket grunts. I don't understand why Jessie was screaming at me like that. She never has before. I don't know where they're taking her, but I don't care. She doesn't want me to follow her, so I won't. I don't care what happens to her. But as I close my eyes and bitter tears stream down my face, I know that's not true. I do care.
We've been through so much together. I don't know why she would just leave me like that. With no true friend to turn to. No one. She's the only one I have. Correction: The only one I had.
You said you had to leave. That you had no chose. I just wished I could have helped. But I couldn't do anything to help you. You said it was for the best. But when I said I would follow you till the end, all you did was cry and scream at me.
And I'll probably never see you ever again. I'll miss you. You gave me strength when I was weak. And now that you're gone, I'll never be strong again. You gave me the courage to dream of freedom. You're the other half of my soul.
We were always together. We've always been a team. No one has ever been able to tear us apart until now. I feel like my heart as been shattered. And the worst part is, you did it Jess... You tore out my heart and left me there to bleed. Tears are streaming down my face, forming new puddles on the already wet ground.
I don't want to look for you, but I have to. There's a yearning in my soul I can't deny. I love you too much to let you go. I turn around, heading in the direction the speeding car took Jessie away from me.
Running, I brush away my tears, just like you so often did. You may not want this Jessie, but this isn't goodbye...
Please R&R!
