Shattered

A/N: n.n; I'm in a sort of sad, depressing fic-writing mood. x.x This is a one-sided Franticshippy, just to tell you. And one-sided Raltsshippy. o.0; I'm wierd. No one ends up with who they want. -sigh- Yeah, that's how much I'm gonna reveal to you.

Summary: She knew she loved him. He rejected her, and said that he didn't like her in that way, and he loved someone else. Her heart was shattered.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ruby, Sapphire, or Mitsuru. I don't own Pokemon, either.

It's in Sleeptalking Can Be Useful.

Sapphire's POV

I couldn't deny it to myself. No matter how much I told myself that I didn't like him, I did. In fact, I loved him. I dropped so many hints, but it's like he doesn't even care. He rescued me from that herd of Grumpig, though. I don't think it was just an act of friendship though. He made me two sets of clothes, even.

I sat in the Pokemon Center, looking at him sleep. He looked so peaceful, smiling. He made me smile himself.

'Oh Ruby, why do you make me feel this way?' I think to myself.

Ruby stirred, and yawned, waking up. I blushed, turning away from him.

"Good morning, Sapphire!" he said happily.

I mumbled, "Good morning."

I decided to let it out to him today, and was going to wait until the right time.

---Nighttime---

Ruby was sitting down, seeming like he was deep in thought. I didn't want to disturb his flow of thinking, but I walked up to him, and tapped his shoulder.

"Huh? Oh, Sapphire, what is it?" he asked me.

I replied, "Ruby...I have something to tell you..."

"Alright, I'm listening."

"Ruby, I-I-I think I love you..."

Ruby looked like he was shocked, and had a dark look on.

He told me, "I'm sorry Sapphire, I don't like you in that way...I like Mitsuru..."

I was saddened almost immediately, biting my lip to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. I didn't want to cry, not in front of Ruby.

He looked up at my face, and said, "Oh Sapphire, please don't cry...I like you, but just as a friend."

I turned my face away from his, and growled.

"I'm not going to cry, Ruby." I snapped angrily.

Ruby glared, "Fine, you can hate me for the rest of your life if you want. I don't care."

Those last three words stung my heart like a dagger digging in deep.

"If you don't care, then I'll just leave and continue my journey alone!" I shouted, running out and my tears trailed out behind me.

Ruby ran out after me, and called out, "No, Sapphire, wait! I didn't mean to say that!"

I ignored him, and continued running.

I found a tree to cry under, and I tried to comfort myself.

"Why? Why me?" I whispered to myself, sobbing.

He liked Mitsuru more than a friend, and I couldn't do anything about it.

-----End Chapter-----

A/N: x.x; This chapter was emotional, but not as much as TR. Maybe like TTIL, though. -shrugs- This is a two-shot, by the way.
