Me: Hello Readers!
Ash: You're Back? Yayy! I've been waiting anxiously to find out what's gonna happen next.
Me: Ash, it's only been two days.
Ash: Yeah, I know. But I've dying to find out what's gonna happen next.
Dawn: So have I for that matter.
Me: Ok. Ok. Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Ash&Dawn: Much better
Me: Umm, this chapter will be told from both Ash and Dawn's POV, just to let you all know. And bare with me, I know this chapter is short *mutters* and not the best either *clears throat* But I tried so please be nice.
Ash: Erin doesn't own..
Me: *raises hand* Nor will I ever.
Ash: So no suing is needed.
Me: Enjoy..
Why me? What did I do to deserve this?
I kept asking myself those very questions for the past ten minutes while I sat on the beach, looking at the waves. I know that I'm no angel or anything but I loved Misty. I really cared for her. I gave her the world. So why did she do this to me? I really thought that she loved me all along. But apparently, she didn't. she obviously loved Gary more then me.
Out of all people it could have been, why did it have to be Gary, my best friend?
Gary and I have known each other for a long time now. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. I never thought that in a million years that Gary would have done this. He knew I was with Misty. He knew I loved her. He knew I was planning to ask her to marry me soon. He knew everything. How could he do this? I thought I knew him.
Well, apparently not well enough.
I felt more tears of agony coming down my cheeks but I ignored them. I just sat here on the beach, looking out at the ocean.
I just want this all to stop, I sighed and put my head into my hands. I just want into those waves and I want to disappear. I really can't take this anymore. It's killing me. Why did the two people I trusted the most in my life have to do this to me? My best friend and my girlfriend, the girl I loved. Why? Can anyone answer that question?
I should have seen this coming. I should have seen that both Gary and Misty were nothing lying cheating snakes and nothing more.
This is all my fault. If I had seen that, none of this would have happened. I'm nothing but blind fool, who was too in love to see the truth.
It's the truth. I know this is all my fault. I should have seen this coming. None of this would have happened if I saw the truth.
Yeah, that's right. You should have seen this coming but you didn't. Ash Ketchum, you're nothing but a pathetic excuse for a human being. And don't deny it, cause you know it's the truth.
I felt more tears coming down cheeks. I couldn't bring myself to wipe them away. It's the truth. I know I'm nothing except a useless waste of space. Paul was right about me all along, I'm a pathetic excuse for human being. The world would be a better place with me out of the picture. I'd be doing everyone a favor by ending my life by walking into those waves.
I kept staring out the waves as I rose to my feet. I wiped my tears away and I walked towards the water.
Yeah, why don't you just go do it. You even sad so yourself. The world would be better place without. Do it. Go kill yourself.
More tears came to my eyes while the voice inside my head kept telling me the truth.
Think about what you're doing, Ash. You don't want to kill yourself. You'd be killing your friends and family by doing that. Think of them, Ash. Don't do this.
What friends? I asked. The only two people I could rely on went and betrayed me. Why shouldn't I go kill myself?
You won't be doing anyone a favor if you kill yourself. You'd crush your mother by killing yourself. And what about Brock and Dawn? You have a lot of people who care about you. Don't do it, don't kill yourself.
I groaned and put my hands on my head. Please shut up, I begged the voices. Please just stop. I started to cry even harder as I stood here alone. On the beach.
"Ash," I heard a voice come from behind me. Dawn, I thought to myself before I turned around. There stood Dawn. She was looking at me with sorrow and sympathy written all over her face. "What are you doing Ash?"
I couldn't find the words to answer her. I just kept looking at her.
"Ash, are you ok?" she asked me, worry evident in her voice.
Gee, what do you think Dawn? I asked myself bitterly. I'm not ok. I just found out that my girlfriend had been cheating on me with my best friend. Did you think I'd be ok with it?
I still couldn't say anything to her. I just stood there and looked at her.
"Ash please," she said again. She sounded desperate. Like she was ready to cry. "Please say something."
What does she expect me to say? I thought to myself as I looked down at the ground. I couldn't say anything. What the hell is wrong with me?
"Ash," she called out to me again. I couldn't bring myself to look at her. "I know you're upset, I really do. But please listen to me,"
I couldn't look at her. I couldn't even say anything to her. She's probably gonna think that I'm ignoring her. But what does she expect me to say? I'm not ok. If she didn't come when she did, I would have walked into the waves and just forget about all my problems. Not that I'm not going to anymore.
"I can't imagine what you're feeling right now," she said. I could tell in her voice that she was worried about me. "It wasn't right of Misty and Gary to do that." gee, tell me something I don't know. "But killing yourself isn't the answer. You have a lot of people who care about you, Ash. Think of your mother, think of Pikachu, Brock, May, Max, and..me."
My eyes widened at her words and I turned around to look at her. "Ash, you're my best friend. I really care about you and I hate having to see you hurt." She sounded like she was on the verge of tears too. "If you killed yourself, you'd destroy me. You've been such a good friend to me. I couldn't bare to lose you. Please, don't do this. Don't walk in those waves."
I tried so hard to keep my tears falling but I couldn't hold them in. It was no use to try and hold them back either. My body had a mind of its own and would do it pleases, even if I didn't want it too.
Unable to take anymore, I ran past Dawn and into the woods. "Ash!" Dawn screamed after me. I didn't dare stop. I just can't stand this anymore. My tears willingly unleashed themselves against my will and I couldn't stop it from happening. I was betrayed by the woman I loved. How am I supposed to cope with that.
As of this day, Ash Ketchum doesn't exist anymore.
I still couldn't believe what happened last night. Ash really was thinking about killing himself. I tried to stop him only to have him run away from me.
And that killed me.
I never thought I'd ever see the day where Ash would turn away from me and ran as fast as he could. Away from me too. It hurt me too. A lot. He's always been such a good friend. He always kept me on my feet. It was my turn to do the same thing for him but he pushed me away. I tried to reach out to him and he pushed me away. I felt like bursting into tears, just from thinking about what he did. I could only just imagine how Ash himself felt.
"Dawn?" I heard Brock call out to me.
I turned around to look at him. "What's up, Brock?"
"Have you seen Ash? He never came back last night?" Brock asked me. He seemed to be really worried too.
What the heck, my eyes and widened and I looked at Brock right in his eyes. I must be hearing things. Did Brock really just tell me that Ash didn't come back last night? "What?" I asked him in disbelief. Please tell me that he didn't just tell me that? Please tell me that Ash did come back last night and he's upstairs in his room.
"You heard me, Dawn," He looked over at the woods. "Ash never came back last night and Misty's been upstairs in her room crying her eyes out all morning. Did something happen last night?"
I looked over at Brock and took a deep breath. He really doesn't know? "Dawn," he called out to me, catching my attention. "Did something happen last night to Ash and Misty. Ash is missing and Misty has been crying her eyes out. If something happened, you'd better tell me."
Ok, he's right. He should know the truth. But I really don't think it's my place to tell him. I took a deep breath and looked at him. "Brock, I honestly don't think it's my place to tell you."
"But Dawn-" Brock started but cut himself off when he looked over at the woods. "Ash!" He shouted.
I looked over at the woods too and I saw Ash walking back. He had his head down as he walked towards us. "Ash!" I shouted as well and I ran towards him, Brock close behind me.
"Ash," I looked at him worriedly, "where have you been?"
Ash looked up at me and gave me the nastiest look he could manage. "Out," he told me in a cold voice. "What's it to you?"
My jaw dropped and my eyes widened with what he said to me. Ash is never like that to anyone, lease of all me. "What?" I asked him in disbelief. Did he really just say that to me?
"You heard me!" Ash shouted. "I've been out. What's it to you?" He asked me in a cold, nasty voice.
I couldn't say anything to him. He just pushed past me and walked into the hotel. Brock and I watched after him he walked in the hotel. What the heck got into Ash? I know he's hurt and feel betrayed right now but was acting like towards both Brock and I really necessary. What the heck was that about anyway?
Brock looked over at me in confusion. He could tell that I knew something about it. "Dawn, did something happen last night? If something did, you need to tell me."
I froze. I know he's right. That isn't normal behavior for Ash. Something really isn't right. Ash would never act like that towards anyone, least of all me. "Yeah, you're right. Lets head back to the hotel and I'll fill you in."
Brock nodded and we both made our way back to the hotel. While we walked, I told him about what happened last night. I wonder how's he gonna take it.
I sat across from Brock on the couch in the hotel. I kept looking down. Brock was also looking down, trying to process the information I just told him. Not that I blame him, I was still trying to process it myself. If both Brock and I are feeling this way, I could only imagine how Ash feels. He's the one that was betrayed by two of the most important people in his life. I don't think anyone saw this coming. Poor Ash, that's the only thing I could say. He must be feeling pretty lousy right now.
Even if he feels lousy right now, that doesn't excuse his behavior from before. There really was no need to speak to me before. I was just worried about him. There really was no need to talk to me like he did before. Really, there wasn't.
I also want to know why Misty would do something like cheat on Ash too. And with all people, Ash's best friend too. That's just cruel. If I was Ash, I'd never forgive any of them for doing what they did. But that's just me.
Brock shook his head before he picked it up. "I can't believe this," He said in disbelieving voice. "I can't believe Misty would do that. And with Gary, Ash best friend?" He sighed.
I nodded in agreement. I couldn't believe this anymore then he could. "Yeah," was the only thing I could manage to say. What am I supposed to say?
"I don't blame Ash for being angry," Brock said, looking at me.
I looked back at him. "Yeah, me neither." I looked away from him and at the elevator. "But really, was there any need to say what he did to me before?"
I looked over at Brock to see him shake his head. "No, there really was no need for that." he said, looking at me. "I'm not excusing his behavior but I kind of understand why he was like that before though."
I looked at Brock with shock written all my face, "what do you mean?"
He turned away from me. Its almost like he didn't expect me to understand. I looked at with a mask of confusion and shock written all over my face.
Slowly, he turned his head back towards me. "Well, think of it this way Dawn," I picked my head up. "Everyone's different. This might be how Ash would hide his feelings."
I put my head down. Ok, he officially lost me. Being a cold-hearted jerk might be how Ash hides his feelings. I'm totally confused here. Ash never acted like this before towards anyone, why he start now? It really doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand the male mind, not that I ever will. I don't ever plan on making attempt too anytime soon.
"Not gonna lie," Brock said again. I picked my head up and looked up at him. "If someone I really cared about cheated on me, I'd be really pissed too."
Ok, I can see where he's coming from. Now that I think about it, I'd be really pissed too if I caught someone I really cared about cheating me. And with my best friend too. I'd probably not want to talk to either of them again. That's gotta be how Ash is feeling right.
I'm sure if we give enough time, he'll start to act like himself again.
Me: so, what did you guys think?
Dawn: I thought it was good.
Ash: So, I'm finally starting to act like a jerk now?
Me: Yep, sorry Ash.
Dawn: Don't worry Ash, Erin has said several times before that we'll end up together so no need to worry.
Ash: Ok, good.
Me: I think we better end the chapter here.
Dawn: Yeah, so please review this awesome.
Me: Actually horrible is more the word.
Dawn: I disagree but still, please review. The reviews make Erin very happy.
Ash: Yeah, the reviews not only give us all a happy Erin but a quicker then usual update.
Me: yeah, please review this horrible chapter
Ash&Dawn: ERIN!
Me: *twitches in fear* Bye People.
