A/N: Here's another chapter! I am going to change the name of this story from I'm Sorry to The Trust We Had. By the time you are reading this the title will likely have been changed.
*If you don't want to hear the dumb story of how I got this name then just scroll down to the story (the other story)*
Ok, so I was just eating my Ritz crackers you know, and then my friend took them from me and asked if she could have two. I begrudgingly agreed and then watched as she took one, two, and then she started to reach for another one. I screamed no and then said 'I trusted you!' and then said 'All that trust we had!' and then I said 'Ooh, the trust we had that would be an awesome title.' and that is the story behind this name.
*Cue bow and exit stage*

"Oh hey!" I exclaimed, "It's Gary right? Sorry about before, I was sort of nauseous." I said bashfully. I saw a flash of confusion in his eyes, but he quickly replaced it with a smirk. "You don't remember this, Leafy?" he said gesturing towards himself. I took this time to see how much he had changed. He still had unruly brown hair, dark blue eyes that were a completely different shade from my light blue eyes, and he was still, unfortunately, taller than me by around 4 inches.
I shook my head in response to his answer and gave him a questioning gaze. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ash walking towards us with three ice cream tubs in his arms and Pikachu on his shoulder. 'Oh shit. I forgot about Ashy-boy' "Damn it!" I muttered. "What?" asked Gary. "Oh, nothing." I responded with a sweet smile. I tried to tell Ash to go away by staring at him from the corner of my eye, but I guess he didn't notice. Gary noticed though, he followed my line of sight and saw Ash.
"Oh hey Ash!" exclaimed Gary. "I was just catching up with Leafy here." I sighed. I was done for. "Oh yeah," said Ash through a mouthful of what I guessed was ice cream. "Leaf, you 'member Gary?" I opened my mouth and said "No.." but Ash ignored me and said, "Who am I kidding? Of course you do! You two have known each other since you guys were babies. even before you were born!" Ash gulped down his ice cream. He seemed to be high. Just kidding. It's the sugar. "You two were always so close, always arguing and making up." At this point I knew that most of the people in the room were listening to our conversation. Ash continued, "People even said that you guys were in lo-" I raised my hand to cover his mouth but was surprised that there was another hand there already. I guess that the force of Gary and I knocked him down. He took us down with him. I landed on my back on the left side of Ash. Gary, I assumed was on the right side of Ash. I noticed that some of Ash's ice cream had gotten on my clothes. I sighed loudly and heard Gary do the same. I heard Ash laugh and say, "We're all back together again!" "Pi, Pikachu!" said Pikachu. In spite of the situation that I was in, I smiled. I don't know why but I had a feeling that Gary did too.

After a relaxing shower I changed into a black long sleeved shirt and some ripped jeans. I also wore a plain black choker. Chokers had sort of become my favorite accessory over the years and I had a weird obsession of them. I walked towards the dining table where May, Dawn, Misty, Paul, Drew, Ash, and Gary were already seated at. The dining table was quite big and was obviously meant to hold many people. I sat down and started eating, gulping at the fact that Gary was sitting in front of me. "So, Lele," said Dawn, looking at me pointedly. "How long have you known Ash and Gary?" I started laughing nervously. "W-What are you talking about I don't know them, why would you think that….." I trailed off at her glare. "We all know that you knew Ash so don't try to lie to us." Ash and Gary nodded oh-so-supportively."Fine." I said, "So I knew them a while back, so what?" Dawn looked at me again and said, "Tell me how you know Gary?" I stared at her and she stared at me back, and by the look in her eyes I knew that she wouldn't give up until she got an answer.
I sighed, "Fine. Ash, Gary, and I were all born in Pallet Town, Kanto, and we were basically next-door neighbors our entire lives until about three years ago." I looked at Ash, avoiding Gary's gaze. "Continue for me please." I said, stuffing food in my face. "Like I said before, Gary and Leaf were always fighting and making up, that was basically their relationship. The three of us always stuck together like glue. We did everything together, going to school, playing, and training our pokemon." Ash said. He nodded at Gary and stopped talking. "Ever since Ghetsis became able to control other people's pokemon through pokeballs Gramps, Professor Oak, stopped giving out pokemon in pokeballs. Ash got Pikachu and he gave Leafy and I Eevees. Any other pokemon we 'got' were just friends that we made in the wild." I thought of the Dragonair, the Ninetails, and the Charizard that I met in Kanto and were with me. Misty spoke up, "If you guys had such a great time in Kanto, why'd you come to Unova?"
I could sense a bit of jealousy coming from her and I shrugged it off but when said that my face hardened. "Didn't you know? Something destroyed our town. Soon after, Kanto was destroyed." The more I thought of it the more dismal I felt. I blinked back tears. I sniffled, "Where have you been hiding these past three years?" I asked Gary. Tears gone, I glared at him, hatred in my eyes. I expected him to look back at me with hate but the look he gave was so very gentle, I felt my heart tug and I forced myself to look away. "I was in Sinnoh, researching with Gramps." Currently, Sinnoh is the only region out of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Unova left that was not either under Ghetsis's control or destroyed. Kanto and Joho were destroyed and Hoenn was being used for Arceus knows what. Although Sinnoh is currently safe from Ghetsis' wrath I know that it will not be safe for long. "When did you get to Unova?" He asked when I did not comment on his last statement. "Ash and I were taken here as refugees by Professor Juniper and she enrolled us here at Freedom and assigned us to temporary foster homes with people here at Unova."
I stopped and smiled bitterly. "But you wouldn't know because you left us." I said. "I did not leave you or Ash; Gramps and I were doing research, 'member?" He said, sounding slightly on edge. "Well did you think it was right to just LEAVE after what you did?" I yelled, suddenly angered by him. "I had every right to leave and it wasn't like you asked me to stay!" He yelled back. I glared at him but I felt my eyes tear up a bit. "Why did you come back?" I said softly. At this point, everyone else at the table were starting to look uncomfortable. "Um, I think we'll be going," said Misty throwing me an apologetic look and dragging May with her and away from the food that May was desperately eating like it would be her last meal. "Us too." said Drew and he left with Ash trailing behind him, glancing behind his shoulder at us worriedly. Dawn shot me a look that said 'We will talk about this later.' and turned to leave. She looked back to see that Paul was still seated and watching us with a strangely interested look on his face. She walked back and dragged him away which took a while with her small form and his larger one. When they'd all left I looked at Gary straight in the eye, pushing away all of my fears, and asked, "How could you fucking come back after what you did?" He looked at me with an unreadable emotion on his face. My throat hurt. My eyes hurt. My heart hurt. "After you destroyed our home."
