May found herself once again tossing and turning late into the night. The clock on her bedside table showing the hours, minutes that passed by without sleep, until finally sleep dragged her under into her subconscious innermost thoughts. Her demons pursued her again, as they have done countless times since the uneventful day. She shot out of bed gasping for breath. A layer of sweat covered her forehead casting a sickly gleam to her already pale complexion. She ran her hand through her disheveled hair, and slowed her breathing trying to regain her composure. Tears rushed from her eyes leaving streams down her cheeks as she remembered the reason for her reacquiring nightmares.
Flashback…
The handsome face of her love stared back at her. His eyes always seemed to glow with his undying love for her, but at that moment they were simply hallow cerulean orb pools.
May's fingers began to shake, and her breath began to speed up once more as she reminisced.
"May I'm only going to say this once so please do not make me repeat myself. I'm cutting off any ties that I have with you. I no longer wish to be with you." Sky turned to leave, but before he could take a step off the front porch of May's front door May whispered," Why?" She had spoken so quietly she couldn't be sure if Sky heard her. He turned his cerulean orbs on her," I'm tired of you holding me back. So long Mapple." Sky sneered and with that said he walked out of her life and after three weeks he still had not returned.
May wiped the tears from her tearstained face she laid back down onto her red comforter. Her caramel eyes stared up at the ceiling. The glow in the dark stars that Sky had helped her put up weeks before their sudden break up stared back at her almost mockingly. She closed her eyes only to have his image pop into her mind. "UGH!" May groaned she jumped out of bed, and slipped her feet into her fuzzy skitty slippers. She tiptoed out of her room and found herself tiptoeing down the hallway past Misty, and Dawns room. May tiptoed silently toward their apartment uppermost loft. Her guitar lay on the leather couch. She sat down and picked up her beloved instrument and began to strum a melody that begun to form the moment Sky left. Her soft voice filled the loft with her sweet voice.
Why would you want to break a perfectly good heart
Why would you want to take our love and tear it all apart now
Why would you want to make the very first go
Why would you want to break a perfectly good heart?
The room which had once felt chilly to her now became a few degrees warmer. Almost as if her voice had filled the room with warmth, as a fireplace would fill a room with its warm embrace. The song although melancholic as it was strangely left her with a bitter sweet feeling in her heart. She yawned sleepily before curling up in a fetus position on the couch. She closed her eyes knowing this time her rest would not be tormented by thoughts of Sky.

Meanwhile in La Rousse City Drew paced in his room before he abruptly stopped his pacing and stared at the picture of May, Soledad, Harley, and himself. His heart began to beat more rapidly and a strange fluttering sensation could be felt in the lower part of his abdomen. He frowned shaking his head tying to rid himself of said sensations. He didn't want to fall farther for May than he already had.
Drew already knew their relationship would be nothing more than platonic. With him secretly loving May, while May loved his ex-best friend Sky. He frowned something he had been doing for over two months. His hair no longer had that lustrous shine, and his eyes lacked that cocky and arrogant shine that always made him seem more confident.
RING! His laptop took him out of his thoughts. He answered his Skype account and found his childhood friend Esmeralda Oak smiling face staring back at him. Drew found himself smiling genially for the first time in weeks.
"Hello Esme I was not expecting you to call." Drew greeted a bit puzzled. He noticed that Esme's smile faltered," Drew why have you been ignoring Ashley's, Paul's, and even my calls?" Drew sighed dejectedly he sat down," Well to put it short ever since May and Sky started dating I just needed some space."
Esme huffed angrily," That my dear Drew was no way to handle your dejection. As your friends we could have been there to help you." Drew sighed he turned away from his laptop," Listen I know that you three would have jumped at the chance to help me, but sometimes a little bit of peace and quiet is the best medicine. Besides Esme I've come to terms with something as long as May is happy than I'm happy as well. Even if sometimes it dose hurt all that should matter is her happiness not mine." Esme's face softened," You're an extraordinary guy Drew." A pregnant silence followed soon after and it hung in the air for what seemed ages, before Esme's happy squeal which would have made Dawn proud interrupted it. Drew jumped in surprise by her sudden change in mood. Drew raised an eyebrow in question at Esme.
She smiled from ear to ear," Drew I think I know how to help you out of this predicament." Drew found the news to be too good to be true, and therefore tried to not get his hopes up," What are you saying Esme?"
She smiled cheekily," Well I wasn't going to tell you this since it really isn't my place to say it, but May and Sky are no longer an item. " Drew shook his head in bewilderment," What when did this happen?" Esme rolled her eyes in mock annoyance.
"Like three weeks ago Drew. I'm actually surprised you didn't know since your sister Alexis and Ashley were the first to find out." Drew tried to keep the expressionless face he always put on, but Esme being his best friend was able to see the confusion, anger and annoyance. Esme sighed," Don't even get mad at us for not saying anything you were the one not answering our calls." Drew looked at her apologetically," Your right, so what was that idea you were talking about earlier?"
Esme smiled," Oh well you know that Ashley and Brendan's mom run that fine arts camp in Cerulean City right? Drew raised his eyebrow again quizzically," Yeah what about it?" Esme giggled," Ashley is getting the girls to volunteer as camp councilors that means May will be there. You should volunteer also and try to woo her. Duh Drew I mean you two would be so adorable together ya little grasshead." She stuck her tongue out of him, but Drew found that he didn't care. He smirked," Esme you may be on to something. I'll talk to Ashley in the morning."
Drew suddenly found himself smiling," So Esme when should I be expecting to see you again?" Esme smiled," Well I'm currently in Pallet Town with Ashley she's planning on dragging Gary and Ash with her. So you can expect all of us to pick you up in a few days for Alexis's wedding." Esme suddenly then let out a huge yawn. "Well Esme I can't wait to see you. Goodnight." Esme smiled," Nite Drew see you soon."
Drew lay down on his bed a smile still plastered on his face. Sky was no longer with May and finally he would get his chance to win her over. He yawned and finally he allowed sleep to overcome him. A shadow of a smile could still be seen on his face.
