Why hello people! This chapter is dedicated to everyone who reviewed! Hoorah! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
May finished buying her things and walked to the park. The sun was shining brightly in a clear blue sky. In the park, cherry blossoms bloomed and filled the air with their beautiful scent. May sat beneath an oak tree and just relaxed. Her mind was filled with all the questions she wanted to ask Coco when she opened her eyes, only to let them meet with a pair of brilliant emerald eyes. All thoughts in her brain vanished, leaving only one word, Drew.
" Oh hello Drew." She tried to keep her cool but it still came out in a strangled squeak. Drew smirked, " well, hello May! How is it going, trust you to be trying to listen to a tree." May growled, "Oh just go away! You are the least of my worries right now, I need a job! But I can't find one!" Drew raised an eyebrow, and sat down next to her, " That counts as a problem? You do know that I am manager of the most popular Jewellery shop in the whole pokemon world? I could easily get you a job you know! I work as a designer too as well as being manager." May gaped at Drew, " you don't mean, you don't mean Jewellery fantasy do you? But I love that shop!"
Drew's smirk widened, " The very one! I will talk to you tomorrow, just come to the glass apple in the town centre at 11 o'clock, I'll meet you there." And with that he walked off, but not before throwing her a rose. May looked after him, clutching the rose, and for some reason, the hurt in her heart from 9 years ago had lessened.
I told you that you would meet again! It's fate darling! Although the roses are so sweet!
You know, I don't think it's fate! I think it might be because the coin is bringing me luck! And the roses are just some… some random joke we have.
After all I told you yesterday… Well I guess that's humans for you. You keep thinking that May! Now go and meet your friends!
May looked at her watch and screamed, she was late! She took off running as fast as she could.
Drew sat down on a bench. May had looked, well, so stunning today. Even more stunning then usual. He had longed to touch her hair, to smile at her, to tell her what he really felt, but all he could do was smirk, and after all, she had a boyfriend. Drew sighed, if it weren't for Brendan… He got up, and trudged along to his house. Not even noticing the tiny voice stirring in his head. A little voice singing, " You love her!"
Everyone was already there by the time may got there. But their frowns turned to smiles and turned to laughter as they saw May running towards them, bumping into random people, going bright red and shouting, " sorry!" over her shoulder. They were clutching their sides with laughter as May finally reached them, red faced and panting, and they didn't stop until Misty said: " Oh my gosh May, you look stunning!" All the others had only seen May tripping so didn't see her new style.
" Oh my gosh, I love your hair May!" Zhen looked in astonishment at May. May never let her hair down! " That dress suits you so well!" Iz was chipping in as well now. " That top really suits you May!" Dawn was smiling, as May had finally changed out of her normal gear. " But why were you late?" Misty looked at May, and being the oldest in the group, of course had to be the serious one. And so a blushing May told them what happened. " Roses? Oh my gosh that is so sweet!" " You are getting a job at Jewellery fantasy ??? I am so jealous!" " That is so cool may!" Everyone was congratulating May. Misty smiled, " Alright, let's all go shopping!" And so the girls, still chattering about May's encounter with Drew walked on to the shops.
3 hours later,
The girls walked out of the shops, arms heavy with bags, feet sore with walking around, eyes glazed from all the window-shopping and happily content. The girls said their goodbyes, hugging and still chattering.
May boarded the bus to Brendan's house, absentmindedly waving to her friends. She thought of Brendan. Brendan, they guy whom all the girls loved. He owned a motorbike garage and was a professional racer himself. He was always winning and the leader of his team. He was trustworthy and I can always rely on him but…
Sure, he's sweet, I just don't get that electric feeling like when I'm with Drew. I just wish he wasn't a person who never gives up. He just keeps on wanting me to be his girlfriend. Maybe I should tell him once and for all, that I just can't return his feelings… But it wouldn't make any difference, he wouldn't stop…
May sighed, twirling the coin-necklace around her finger when an old woman next to her poked her. May turned in surprise, only to see an old lady with snowy- white hair, her mouth, which was filled with rotten teeth was widening into a smile. She looked at May through eyes, which were surprisingly wise.
May found herself gazing into those eyes, they seemed to be changing colour and filling with a light blue mist swirling around. They suddenly showed a mountain top, and then a green field, after that a beautiful sunset… May stared transfixed getting more and more absorbed when the old lady slapped her lightly.
" May, do not look into my eyes for too long, beware for even I can be sometimes transfixed in them too, if you stare for too long, you will be forever lost!" The old woman patted her arm, May was too shocked to notice that the old lady knew her name. " By the way, I like your necklace!" The old lady gently brushed the coin with her fingers, and it suddenly started to glow, only a faint glow, but a glow which showed May that this old lady was no ordinary person. The glow shone a deep gold, in many shades and many layers, it flashed and shimmied, twisting around and May could have sword she saw it curling around a beam of sunshine. May touched it gently, and the glow softened, until only the carvings of the rose were glowing.
"Who, who are you?" May asked the old lady, the question, filled with curiosity, delight and a tiny little bit of, fear? The old lady only chuckled in response, " I think it's your stop dear, and you know, never let someone hang around after you, following you, never knowing what to expect, I hope you make the right choice with your friend!" and with that, the old lady gave May a little push off the bus, and waved.
May was still a little surprised when she arrived at Brendan's house. Brendan opened the door, his face filling with delight, his eyes shining, he ran his hands through his hair, a move that most people found cute but May found annoying. " Listen Brendan, we need to talk…" (A/N: No the dreaded words! Lol!) Brendan nodded and closed the door behind her. " Tea, coffee, hot chocolate?" " With marshmallows please." May always had that when she went to Brendan's house.
May sat down on a sofa and gazed at Brendan. " Look, Brendan, you know that I could never return the same feeling that you give! It just wouldn't work out. You know?" Brendan smiled, but it wasn't of a smile of defeat, as May had hoped but a slow sad smile. " May, as I have said before and will again, I will never give up! I will always be loving you! But I want to know one thing, is there another guy?" May gazed at him, and he gazed back, taking in her lovely smile, her soft hair and most of all, her perfect clear sapphire orbs. May smiled, a smile of a friend and nothing else. " Yes it is, but I am not going to say who. He doesn't like me anyway. But Brendan, you know that you will always be a friend and only a friend to me?" Brendan turned his head away, hoping she didn't notice the tears swimming in his eyes, blurring his vision but he just wouldn't let them out, he swallowed hard, and turned back to her, " Of course May, but I will always be here for you. In fact I wrote a song about us! Do you want to hear it?" May smiled and nodded. Apart from being a gifted racer, he also had a hobby of writing song lyrics. Although they weren't always good… never less, it was the thought!
Brendan found a piece of paper and started to sing softly.
When you are down,
When you are sad,
When your tears sparkle,
You can count on me,
I will be here for you.
In the biggest rain,
In the hottest sunshine,
In the biggest blizzard,
You can count on me,
I will be here for you.
Oh oh.
When you need a hug,
When you feel alone,
Just call me, because
You can count on me,
I will be here for you.
Oh oh.
Even if I had to,
Walk across fire,
Swim under water,
Or maybe even die,
You can still count on me,
I will be here for you.
If you need some protection,
I will stand in position,
To guard you from the
Terrors and the frights.
You can count on me,
I will be here for you.
Because I love you,
Oh oh,
I love you with all my heart.
" Brendan, that was so sweet!" (A/N: I know it wasn't really, as I am crappy at writing these songy lyrics lol!) Brendan gazed at May, she realised he had tears in his eyes, she couldn't bear this sight, and so went ad kissed him, Brendan's heart stopped beating and then resumed. " May…" " I have got to go Brendan, then she turned and ran out of the room"
Brendan looked after her, maybe there was still hope for him….
Well how was it? I am trying to update as fast as I can which explains this slightly uh crappy chapter. I really shouldn't say crppy. Yes that's better. Anyway, read and review! Jolteonforever
