Dawn was stressed - which was weird for Dawn seeing as she was normally happy. She had tried to call up Paul before but he never answered, she had called again but he sounded suspicious.. She swore she heard someone in the background say. 'Come on Paullieeeee.. We're going to the park no?'
Dawn grabbed her baby pink cardigan and walked out her apartment, locking the door behind her. She headed off to the park to see if her suspicions were right..Her phone started to ring. The I.D said it was Misty, she picked up as she started her car,
"You in a hurry?" Mistys voice called out, Dawn smiled at her friends concern.. well, abit. She fastened her seatbelt and looked out her back window.
"Abit.." Dawn lied, waiting for the opportunity to pull out since there was alot of cars.
"Uhh.. Go to the park, May and me are there, Paul is there with this blonde bimbo.." Misty sounded serious, Dawn knew she was right to worry.
"I'm actually on my way.. I'll meet you at the old swings after I confront him.." Dawn growled, hanging up quickly and pulling out quickly.
-OxOxO-
Dawn entered the parks fences, she spotted Misty and May watching Paul like a hawk, she waved slightly at her friends who looks worried. She blinked abit, she had told herself it was his cousin or something.. She walked slowly up to Paul who had started to chuckle slightly at something the girl was saying.
"Uhh- Like.. Can we help you? .." The blonde spat, looking Dawn up and down.
"Yeah.. Paul, mind explaining?" Dawn put her hands on her hips. Paul just growled, looking at the blonde before looking at the bluenette. This was going to be hard..
"..Dawn.. I think we should see other people if your going to stalk me.." Paul spat, his voice was coated with venom.
"W-What.." Dawn blinked, the blonde was smirking.
"You heard him, get out of here stalker, who'd want you around?" She laughed obnoxiously, hugging Pauls arm.
"Yeah! Because my friends told me you were here with another girl! Also.. I heard another girl on the phone so how dare you accuse me of stalking when you make it SOOO obvious you are cheating on me! You are a mother fucking asshole Paul and I hope I never see you again!" Dawn slapped Paul, tears streaming down her face as she ran away out the park, Misty and May shortly following.
Paul glanced after her, his face stung as he growled, he stood up and stalked off, the blonde following shortly.
"How about another round of applause for Heartbreakers?!" Noel smiled, the audience cheered, Dawn, May, Misty and Leaf walked over taking a seat on the couch, they were on another talk show.. This time they were on The Noel Show."That was brilliant! That song was.. filled with emotion! Who wrote it?" Noel smiled, staring at the now 17 year old girls who just blushed from all the compliments.
"Dawn did.. When she was younger!" Misty declared, slinging her arm around her friend.
Dawn just blushed, hiding her face but nodding, it was right after Paul broke up with her.. or she broke up with Paul. Honestly, she couldn't remember.. She just had to get all of her anger and sadness out and apparently it worked.
"Now.. We have a surprise for you Dawn!" Noel smiled, pushing her long hair behind her ear, Dawn looked up and around, wondering what it was, Misty giggled as if she already knew what it was. Leaf giggled after, Dawn pouted at her friends,
"Hey Dawnie." A gruff voice called out, Dawn turned her head and squealed, running up to her boyfriend Lucas, "Lucas!" She cried, he picked her up and swung her around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't recognise him.. Give it up for Lucas Kliff!" Noel smiled, Dawn kissed Lucas's cheek and dragged him over to the sofa. Dawn was glad her boyfriend was back from the tour, she giggled and hugged him again.
"Aww, a real couple! Anyway.. The time is up! I'll see you next week on the.. Noel Show!" Noel smiled, the audience standing up and clapping wildly, the camera shut off and Dawn leaned in on Lucas.
"Aww! I'm so jealous!" Leaf whined, jumping up and down.
"I bring gifts!" Lucas grinned, Rudy, Brendan and Danny appeared, the rest of the girls jumped up and down and ran to their boyfriends.
"I'm so glad you are back from your tour!" May hugged Brendan.
"Danny!" Leaf exclaimed, kissing him gently then blushing.
"Rudy! I'm so happy!" Misty grinned, hugging Rudy tightly.
Dawn let out a small giggle, she felt Lucas wrap his arm around Dawn as she grinned.
-OxOxO-
Ash flicked off the TV. He looked at Paul, Drew and Gary. They all looked as shocked at him. Of course they knew that their ex's were a famous girlgroup.. but they didn't know that Dawn was dating one of the boys from Victory Street.
"Paul.." Drew said in a normal kind of voice, staring at his purple-haired friend. Why had their girlfriends made them watch this?
(A.N/Just to let you all know, May, Misty and Leaf also had broke up with the other boys.. their flashback/backstorys will be mentioned in later chapters)
Jessica, the same girl Dawn saw a couple of years ago with Paul at the park was squealing. "Girls.. wasn't that like amazing? They are soooo good at singing!" Jessica smiled at her three friends, Melody, Megan and Tiffany.
Jessica ignored Pauls angry face, thinking that he must just be mad because she made him watch it, obviously she didn't remember Dawn from two years ago but who would? She had changed alot.
"Paul? God, he is just spacing out!" Megan snorted, hugging onto Drews arm, he just smirked, nodding.
"Melody, we should go.. shopping! Boys - you can hold our bags!" Tiffany declared, all her three friends standing up and agreeing. "Heartbreakers will be doing CD signings anyway! I want to get all of my CDs signed!" Tiffany smiled, dragging Gary to the door of her apartment.
-OxOxO-
Paul was holding onto Jessicas hand, she kept dragging him along - she wanted to make sure she was the first one there.
"Slow down!" Drew whined, Megan was dragging him aswell, same with Melody and Ash and Tiffany and Gary.
"..I see Dawn!" Melody smiled, dropping her boyfriends hand and running forward, Megan and Tiffany did the same but Jessica didn't let go of Pauls.
"HEARTBREAKERS!" Megan cried out, stopping right infront of Leaf Green. The keyboard or saxophone player.
"Hi guys!" Leaf chimed, May came over and put her arm around Leaf smiling, not seeing Gary or Drew yet.
Dawn walked over and waved at the three girls, smiling.. until she saw the four boys walking over, Misty had obviously did the same, nudging May and Leaf and raising her eyebrows.
Dawn kept on a cool facade and smiled, "Do you want anything signed?" She smiled, leading the rest of the band to four blue plastic stools.
"YES!" All four girls cried out, Jessica had came over now, Paul was glaring at Dawn and she was returning the glare.
"Whats your names?" Leaf smiled, pretending to ignore Gary.
"I'm Megan! Rich-daddy, could make anyones career do down the drain!" Megan bragged, flipping her hair behind her back,
"I'm Jessica, I'm like.. going to be a totally awesome, hot super-model!" Jessica smirked, fiddling with a real gold bracelet.
"I'm Tiffany, I think my name would do enough explaining." Tiffany smirked aswell, hands on her hips.
"And I'm Melody.." Melody chimed sweetly, maybe she wasn't so bad afterall.. Nope!
"Okay.. Well.. what do you want signed? CDs?" Dawn smiled sweetly, her fingers tapping the wooden table the mall had supplied, a long line had now formed behind the four snobby girls.
"Duhh!" Jessica spat, rolling her eyes and putting three of the girls CDs on the table. "Uhh like, sign this out to your number one fan, Jessica!" Jessica smirked, putting her arm around Paul, giving Dawn a look to say 'back-off! hes mine bitch!'.
"Sure.." Dawn smiled, only Paul could tell she was being sarcastic. She scribbled her name down and passed it onto Leaf.
"I really like your hair Jess!" Leaf smirked, keeping in a small giggle which only Gary noticed, Leaf signed it and passed it onto May.
"I'm soo jealous!" May smirked, Drew narrowed his eyes at Pauls oblivious girlfriend, May scribbled her name and gave it to Misty.
"I'm not." Misty smiled, Ash blinked, thinking about gummy-worms.
Jessica snatched it back and smiled, Melody was next, then Megan, and finally Tiffany.
"Misty!" Rudy yelled, he was running past the line, mumbling 'excuse me' and 'sorry' to the girls waiting, he ran up to Misty and gave a flick of his hand, Misty smiled and blew a kiss to him. "Thanks for meeting us Rudy!" Misty smiled, standing up and leading her boyfriend to her friends, Lucas, Brendan and Danny recognized the girls ex's and looked at each other,
Dawn kissed Lucas and sat on his knee as she smiled at the boys.
"Oh! Em! Gee! You are all dating someone from the Victory Street?!" Jessica cried, staring at all the girls.
All four girls nodded, smiling, Jessica blinked and smirked, "I'll trade you boyfriends? Sorry about that look earlier..!" Jessica joked, smiling innocently.
"NO!" Dawn shouted, earning a look from Paul, "I mean.. no.." Dawn smiled, her phone chimed as she looked at her iPhone. "Sorry girls, can you go now? you are holding up the line.."
"Whatever! Lets go Ash!" Melody spat, dragging Ash away, the rest of the girls followed, Paul put his hands on the table and smirked. "This is a nice reunion. Lets hope it ends soon.." He spat, Gary smirked.
"Lets, so why don't you help by leaving? I'm sure your girlfriends are waiting.." Dawn smiled innocently, narrowing her eyes, Gary chuckled, walking away from the four celebrities. Paul was the last to leave, he got a lot of looks from the fans.
-OxOxO-
After the signing was done Dawns phone began to chime.
'Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs, with the boom-box playing as were falling in lov-' It sang, Dawn pressed the pick-up button and pressed the pink iPhone against her ear. "Hello?"
"Hello Dawn! Tell the girls to meet me at the studio!" Roxanne, their manager called.
"Sure, is it serious?" Dawn asked, after a minute she hung up.
"Well? who was it? Roxanne?" Misty asked, putting her arm around her friend.
"Yeah, we've to meet her at the studio. It isn't serious though.. Uhh, Lucas. I'll see you later at the coffee shop?" Dawn smiled, kissing her boyfriends cheek before waving goodbye.
-OxOxO-
"Girls? Oh finally." Roxanne sighed, she seemed stressed. She was probably getting stuff ready for their concert next week.
"Hii Roxy! What you doing?" May smiled, sitting in a black office chair, spinning around.
"You girls! Have you even practiced for the concert? Have you got a new song ready?!" Roxanne cried, standing up, her long magenta hair flowing behind her.
"Uhh.. WAIT WE HAVE TO WRITE A NEW SONG?!" Leaf gasped, standing up soon after. Roxanne nodded, Dawns eyes widened.
"LETS GO THEN!" Leaf yelled, grabbing her friends and taking them to their lounge.
After they got settled with some coffee and their instruments all three girls looked at Dawn, Dawn just looked behind her and then back at her friends.
"Why are you looking at me?!" Dawn whined, of course they were gonna make her write the song!
"You are the beat at writing the song.. We'll help though!" Misty smiled widely, walking over to a black set of drums, she took her seat and started to play a steady beat, Dawn nodded abit and smiled. "Thats good.. Uhh.. Leaf? Keyboard!" Dawn pointed at her friend and then at the keyboard, Leaf started to match Mistys drumming with her keyboard, adding more of a rhythm to it. She smirked at May who picked up her guitar, strumming at it widely with her pick. Dawn smiled at her friends, they were the best!
-OxOxO-
"OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" Jessica screamed, deafening Paul. "YOU GOT US TICKETS TO SEE THE HEARTBREAKERS LIVE IN CONCERT! TONIGHT!" Melody screamed aswell, jumping up and down excitely. Of course.. Megan and Tiffany were dancing aroud aswell, honestly.. Paul and his friends wanted to see if they were any good live..
"Lets go then.. they start in an hour.." Drew mumbled, getting suffocated by Megan now.
Meanwhile with the girls.. they were stressed! They were preforming in less then an hour and they hadn't seen their make-up artist at all! Finally the girl, Polly walked in, getting ambushed by the girls, Polly was a family friend of Mays so they had hired her for all their concerts! She made it look sooo good!
"Come on Poll!" Misty cried, she pushing Polly into their dressing rooms as she began..
"PAULLL! Come on! We got front row tickets! We need to get there before someone steals our spot!" Jessica whined, dragging Paul to the front of the fans. Jessica started to scream their names, she was wearing one of their t-shirts but she had 'modified' it to make it.. alot more low cut.
"Lets give a warm welcome to.. THE HEARTBREAKERS! LETS HEAR YOU CHEER!" Someone cried into a microphone, Jessica could care less!
May came onto the stage first, she was wearing a red strapless top with black shorts, Misty came out next, she was wearing a blue one, Leaf came out wearing a green one and lastly was Dawn, she suited it the most, she was wearing a pink one, all four of the girls hairs were up in a tight bun with loose strands of their hair hanging down.
The audience erupted into cheers, Dawn smiled, Misty took her seat at the drums, she started to just bang on them with the drum sticks, in a cool beat, Leaf sat at her keyboard waiting and May picked up her guitar, Dawn stood at the microphone, a similar guitar was in her hands.
"Are you ready?!" Dawn cried into the microphone, Jessica cheered with her friends with the rest of the audience. Dawn looked at her, she saw Paul and rolled her eyes at him, he saw this and growled.
She giggled at him being in the audience of one of Heartbreakers concerts.
"Lets get started then!" Dawn shouted, she tapped her foot, she nodded her head as Misty hit the drums louder and faster, Leaf started at the keyboard and May started to strum at her guitar.
Dawn strummed at her guitar aswell, they were in sync. It sounded angelic, Dawn began to sing into the microphone.
[Dawn:]
Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp,
and she's probably getting frisky...
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'cause she can't shoot whiskey...
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool stick,
showing her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know...
That I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
Right now, she's probably up singing some
white-trash version of Shania karaoke.
Right now, she's probably saying, "I'm drunk"
and he's a-thinking that he's gonna get lucky,
Right now, he's probably dabbing on
3 dollars worth of that bathroom Polo*...
Oh, and he don't know...
That I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats,
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
I might've saved a little trouble for the next girl,
'cause the next time that he cheats...
Oh, you know it won't be on me!
No... not on me
[Together:]
'Cause I dug my key into the side
of his pretty little souped up 4 wheel drive,
carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats.
Oh, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats...
Oh, before he cheats... oh, oh.
Dawn finished, taking a breath, she hadn't took her eyes off Paul the whole song, he had realised, he knew she hadn't really done any of the things mentioned in the songs.. but it still hurt, she still remembered. She wrote a song about it.
"Sorry if its not the best guys! I wrote that a couple of years ago right after a horrible break-up! But am I glad? YES!" Dawn laughed, the audience cheered louder for her, they thought she was so strong to laugh about it.
Paul just growled, Jessica looked at him. "Whats up babe?" she asked, smiling.
Paul growled louder and told her to just shut up, Dawn called her a bleached-blonde tramp.
"Now! Who remembers Strong Enough? our first award winning song?" May shouted into Dawns microphone, she stared at Drew, she had wrote this song about him. The crowd cheered AGAIN.
"I'll take that as a yes?" Leaf joked into her microphone, the crowd laughed as Leaf smiled. May stood next to Dawn and nodded, they harmonized their guitars as Misty and Leaf started on the drums and May and Dawn began to sing.
[May:]
As I rest against this cold, hard wall
Will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war has just begun
[Dawn:]
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?
[Leaf:]
Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there anyway to be made whole again?
If I'm healed,renewed, and find forgiveness find the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plan?
[Dawn:]
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?
[Misty:]
He took my life into his hands and it turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance
It's there I've finally found
[Together:]
That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me
Oh Thank You for my chance to start again
The crowd was silent for a moment before their cheers were heard again, Dawn smiled at the crowd, she remembered what Roxanne had said before they left for the concert.
She tapped the microphone for a second, getting all their attention again. "I forgot to say! First time we are doing this but .. Four lucky fans will be able to come back stage after the concert for a quick meet and greet!" Dawn smiled, the crowd started to mumble to eachother, excited.
"The winners are.. from the first three rows!" Dawn smiled, the rest of the audience (except for the first three rows) started to get more excited, "..Lets see.." Dawn looked in an envolope she had in her pocket the whole time, "First we have.. A:37!" Leaf declared, taking a peak at the number, she got got up from her keyboard to help announce.
Jessica stared at Paul and then began to cheer, he just groaned.
"Next we have.. A:47!" Leaf smiled again, Gary stared at leaf as if she had commit a murder, Tiffany screamed, hugging her boyfriend.
"..A:51!" Dawn announced, Megan jumped up and down, Drew just pinched himself to see if he was dreaming.. Ouch.. Nope!
"And finally.. A:63!" May finished, Melody started to scream and shout, Ash holding her from jumping onto the stage
-OxOxO-
A few songs later and the concert was over, Lucas had came over to the lucky winners and blinked, what a coincidence. "Uhh.. Hey guys, I'm Lucas. Dawns boyfriend.." Lucas trailed off, seeing the glare he was getting from.. Paul or something, that was his name right? he couldn't remember.
"This way.." He cleared his throat, walking off backstage,
"So how long have you and Dawn been dating?" Jessica smiled, hanging onto Pauls arm. "Oh.. Uhh.. A year and a half I think. She was really depressed and then I helped her.. this was before the two bands were made." Lucas told her, he got them through security and made his way to the loungue where their dressing rooms were.
"Interesting." Paul said in a monotone voice, Lucas gulped, he saw Rudy, Brendan and Danny waiting outside. "In here please.." They smiled, opening a door to a large loungue.
They all sat on a white couch, Jessica smiled, looking around.
"Omg! I already asked Lucas.. but how long have you and your girlfriends been dating?" Jessica pried, staring at the other three boys, they gulped aswell, looking at the boys who were staring at them, even Ash.
"Uh.." Rudy pulled at his collar, "A year, a year exactly tomorrow." He smiled, pushing his hand through his hair, he felt Ashs glare on him.
"Me and Leaf have been dating for a year and three months." Danny said with alot of confidence, Gary snorted, he and Leaf had dated for two years and seven months, why had he remembered? .. Uhh.. Nevermind! Just keep on reading about the rest of the story!
"Me and May have been dating for only seven months, the best months of my live!" Brendan bragged, leaning back on a different couch, the four girls walked in as their jaw dropped.
"Omg! I know right? I was just as shocked!" Melody smirked, watching the four girls sit down again.
"Yeah.. what a coincidence.." Misty smiled fakely, everyone except for the girls and Ash realised, (meaning Jessica, Melody, Tiffany and Megan)
"Soo.. we already know you, what about your boyfriends.." Dawn spat out the last words, Misty giggled a little, Ash saw this and tilted his head.
"Yeah! Go on baby! Tell them!" Jessica nudge her boyfriend, he growled at what she called him. "Paul.. Paul Shinji." He said boredly, hating Dawn for saying that.
"The names Gary Oak, Professor Oaks grandson, rich, hot and defiently not single.." Gary bragged, earning a glare from Leaf, Danny put his arm around Leaf and held her close.
"..Ash Ketchum!" Ash announced, staring at Misty with caring eyes, Melody wacked Ash in the gut for looking at the ginger like that.
"And I'm Drew Hayden.." Drew smirked, kissing Megan for a few seconds. Mays heart hurt for some reason..
"Thats nice.." Dawn half smiled, she snuggled into Lucas for support. Paul growled and stood up, "Whats up mate?" Lucas growled, he put his arm around Dawn to annoy him.
"Don't like me hugging my girlfriend?" Lucas spat, Dawn looked at Lucas with worrying eyes.
"Maybe I don't!" Paul growled, Dawn stood between them.
"Why don't you just sit down?" Dawn asked, Paul just rolled his eyes and pushed Dawn into the now standing May, Dawn stood up with a shocked expression on her face.
"PAUL! Say sorry!" Jessica yelled, standing up, Paul raised his fist at Lucas.
"SECURITY!" Dawn yelled out, two large men walked in the room, in uniform. "Take these people out! Especially HIM!" Dawn snapped, pointing at Paul. The men nodded, herding out the girls first, they had to drag Paul out the room. He wouldn't take his eyes off of Dawn, she just started to cry as the door slammed. She fell onto her knees and cried harder, Lucas put his arm around her.
"I'll take her home.." Lucas mumbled to Rudy who nodded, he took Dawn out the room, leaving the room in silence.
-OxOxO-
Leaf was first up the following morning, she got got of bed and went downstairs, passing Dawns room as she did, she sighed and walked downstairs and went onto her laptop. She also turned on the TV and clicked on the news.
"Hello and welcome to Channel 3 - Last night at Heartbreakers concert, backstage after the show at a meet and greet fists were raised! A purple haired man named Paul Shinji had raised his fist at the unsuspecting Lucas Kliff!" A woman with long black hair announced, a picture was shown of Paul raising his fist at Lucas, they made Lucas to be the good guy - he was though.
Dawn groggily made her way downstairs, she still had mascara running down her face and she looked like she had been crying again. Leaf turned her head, "It was on the news.." Leaf told Dawn as she sat next to her on the couch, Dawn nodded and sniffled.
"R-Roxanne called me.. the paprazzi are outside. I'm going to go get washed up and dressed.." Dawn smiled, ruffling Leafs hair and walking back to her room after grabbing a muffin from the kitchen.
Leaf felt sorry for her friend really, she looked on her laptop and stared at an email in her inbox, she tilted her head and read it.
'To Leafy..' It began, only one person called her that.. 'Its me, I know you don't want to hear from me but I am apologizing on Pauls behalf, I checked the news from my phone and everything, it was Lucas's fault, he shouldn't of angered Paul. JUST SAYING! .. Well, i hope you understand, bye for now. -Garebear'
And thats where it finished, she growled and shook her head, she just deleted it and slammed her laptops lid down, she'd just have to ignore him. A while later Dawn came downstairs, her hair was in a messy bun with strands of hair falling down, she had on a blue tanktop and white shorts, she put on her rainbow coloured converse and looked at Leaf who was angry.
"Whats up?" Dawn asked, clipping on a necklace, Leaf mumbled something, "HE emailed me.. he said sorry on Pauls behalf." She spat, Dawn sighed, Leaf looked at her friend and her jaw dropped.
"Umm.." Leaf mumbled, staring at the necklace.
"Just because he got me it doesn't mean thats why I'm wearing it!" Dawn argued, Leaf raised her hands in defeat as Dawn played with the necklace, it was made of real gold.. it had a little love heart on it studded with real sapphires, if you looked closely you could see it was a locket, Dawn had put a picture of her and Paul inside, kissing.
Dawns phone chimed she picked it up, Leaf chuckled at this and crossed her legs, Dawn clicked on messages and read it.
'Meet me at the coffee shop at 5pm' it said, it was from Paul. She memorized his number so she'd never forget, she blinked before dropping her phone and running upstairs.
Leaf took a look at it and clicked it off, she went upstairs to see Dawn, unaware the news was still on.
"More major news, the main singer, Rudy Grear was in a car crash while driving back from the flowershop in Campbell Avenue, he is apparently in hospital but no-one knows his condition."
Dramaticness! Ooooooohh! I wonder what will happen
Dawn: You need to finish TJS first..
Paul: What happened to the pirates one?
Misty: Wheres Gold?
Me: I .. deleted them.. I will finish TJS but I saw something very similar to 'The Way You Change Me' so I deleted it.. And Gold.. I don't know why but it had a kind of.. bad story line.
Paul: I'm glad.
Dawn: This chapter is SUPER long!
Leaf: YEAH!
May: What happens with Rudy?
Misty: I DON'T KNOW SHUT UP! (cries)
Ash: There there.. (hugs Misty)
