Chapter 1:

Sapphire POV

A gentle breeze ruffles my light brown hair, blowing my bangs across my face. I swipe at them but soon enough, they sneak forward again. I sigh softly. He's late. Not that I'm honestly surprised as he's probably having a breakdown over the tiny spick of dirt on his shoes. Oh well, at least I can relax in my tree. I close my eyes and just listen to the sound of nature. The sound of the branches bending in the breeze, the sound of Pokémon rummaging through the bushes, the sound of….

"Sapphire you barbarian! Where are you?"

My eyes snap open; back to reality I guess. The harsh reality where the boy that I love so dearly does not seem to remember my most precious memory. Our most previous memory. He has been avoiding it for too long, so today, I'm finally gonna wring it out of him.

"I'm here Sissy Boy!"

I swiftly slide down the tree, landing gracefully on my feet and turn to meet bright crimson eyes. I feel my heart beat rising as I trace over his lean yet muscular body, scan his beautifully contoured face and finally zero in on his silly white hat that I know covers his glossy, black hair. Hair that is only disrupted by two scars. Ruby.

"What are you staring at? You made me troop through the bush and now my shoes are all dirty. You better have a good reason for calling me all the way out here!"

Right, focus Sapphire! I gently clap my hands on my cheeks. You have a job to do remember! I meet Ruby's outraged face and take a deep breath.

"Do," I shakily start, "you remember what happened on Mirage Island? Do you remember what we said?"

Instantly he looks away, his face now displaying an expression of puzzlement. Internally, my heart sinks at the thought of what's coming.

"As I have told you before Sapphire, I don't remember anything to do with Mirage Island. It doesn't matter how many times you ask, the answer will always be the same!"

Waves of rejection crash throughout my body and I lower my head in silent defeat. You'd think by now after having the same scenario happen for the past 4 years, I would be used to feeling completely and utterly rejected but I'm always surprised by how painful it always is. However, something is different this time around. It's like something just breaks. That teensy tiny ray of hope that maybe someday, he might remember, has finally been extinguished. I'm tired, tired of always having my hopes crushed again and again. Four years has past and nothing has changed. I give up, I've suffered enough.

"Sapphire?"

His questioning voice echoes in my ears for a while before I finally raise my head, avoiding staring into those eyes that I adore so much. Perhaps he recognised that something was amiss from my expression as he went to step forward.

"Enough Ruby!" He pauses midstep. "I've had enough."

As I meet his eyes, suddenly it becomes clear. I need to go. Go far away so that I never have to see his face because deep down I know, that if I stay here, my suffering will never end. To find peace, I must go. Something slivers down my cheek. Why is his face becoming blurry? Why can't I breathe properly?

"Sapphire!" His face moves closer.

"Stay back Ruby!"

Wiping my eyes quickly, I offer a weak, broken smile.

"Close your eyes Ruby and count to twenty. Please just give me some time to pull myself together or I'll beat you up Sissy Boy."

I could see the defiance in his eyes but perhaps my usage of his pet name may have swayed him as those fiery, crimson eyes shut and counting began. Stealing one last glance and hearing his voice one last time, I turn and swiftly dash into the surrounding trees. I keep running and running and running, not even stopping when a distant cry of "Sapphire" reaches my sensitive ears. As I run, tears erupt like rivers down my cheeks making it impossible to run any further. Reaching into my pocket, I send out Pilo and leap onto her. As Pilo takes off into the air, she coos soothingly as I cling to her neck, sobbing uncontrollably for the boy that I loved with all my heart.
