He won again… May was so tired of losing to Drew. But he was her friend, so she did the only friendly thing to do after losing: Dumped water on him.
"Thanks May, I was feeling a little hot" Drew said, flipping his hair splashing May.
"Drew!" She yelled.
He smirked "Well next time you won't dump water on me."
"I can't believe you!"
Something in Drew snapped. "BELIEVE ME! YOU GOT ALL WHINEY BECAUSE OF WHAT?! ME WINNING! WELL SORRY TO BREAK IT TO YOU MAY BUT I'M BLOODY BETTER THAN YOU!!"
The contest hall went silent. She always got like this after a contest, she lost, she did something to get him back, and he always did the little 'How dare you' bit between friends. But this time he really hurt May. Tears filled her eyes.
"So what if I'm not the best? I try. I have fun. But saying that Drew… that really hurt. YOU DON'T NEED TO RUB IN THE FACT THAT I SUCK!" And then May totally lost it, She backhanded him. Blood trickled out of Drew's mouth. She looked horrified at what she just did. She ran out of the contest hall.
It took Drew a minute for every thing to register. She hit him…She ran…
"May I'm sorry…" He said and ran after her.
"MAY!" He yelled. "WHERE ARE YOU!?"
He spat. Blood mixed with rain. 'Wow she hit me hard' and with that he cried. Cried and ran to wherever May might be. He ran like a mad man, slamming in to trees, bushes, and rocks. 'I deserve this… I hurt her… I hurt the person I love…' After an 3 hours of looking Drew needed rest, he felt faint… Tomorrow he'd look for May and apologize. He went to the hotel near the contest hall… They'd let him stay free… at least for a discount. He checked in to the last room available. Drew walked up to his room, flopped on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning Drew woke up and went to the mirror. He was a wreck. Blood dried on his face and hand, he was bruised, and was aching so bad he wanted to die. Waking to the bathroom he realized that there was no bathroom… He sighed… So he went next door. Surely if he explained they would let him at least wash up. He knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Drew know that voice all to well…
"M-May?" He asked. She opened the door.
"Oh its just you… Drew what happened?"
" I was looking for you and I fell… A lot…" He said. " And I have no bathroom. Can I please shower?"
"Sure." She opened the door wider for him to come in. He walked to the bathroom and turned on the water. May went down stairs to get his bag where he left it last night. After he showered and dressed he walked out and sat in a chair.
"You look better." She said setting a cup of tea next to him. He nodded in a thanks and sipped the tea.
"Can I stay here for a while? I need to say a few things. Plus you look bored." He smiled. She nodded.
"Drew, I'm sorry for hitting you last night, I just feel so insignificant to you… I just snapped…"
"And I'm sorry for yelling at you… Your one of the best coordinators I know. You never let anyone win, making you a challenge for even me, you work so hard and even if you do lose, you still have a big beautiful smile on your face. May you're an amazing person and those among other reasons is why… Is why I love you."
May looked at him… Drew got up to leave. He thought he screwed up big time…
She grabbed his arm, pulled him to her, and kissed him. Drew thought he'd pass out. So he pulled her close to keep himself from falling. She deepened the kiss as if to say 'I love you too'. And she did.
