Me: Hey guys! I'm back! I'm on spring break so I might update again later today and then I will definitely update once again tomorrow, maybe two times but probably not… Now my loyal readers it is time to respond to your reviews! Oh one thing, I do not own Pokémon or No Air by Jordan Sparks and Chris Brown. For the lyrics, please think about them like background music.
SunshineTails You're not stupid! I just am really random…PUPPIES! Yay! I'm glad that you're interested in this story, I work really hard on it so I'm glad that my work isn't put to waste! I LOVE One Direction! I like the other artists that you mentioned too! And no worries I got the song for this chapter worked out!
ElsieLorraine Yes, I did give you a sliver of Drew's history! Though it wasn't intentional…like I said multiple times before I usually wing it when I type up my chapters so I was pretty surprised myself that I came up with that…heh heh…as for the corrections you gave me thank you! Trust me you aren't being mean if you are helping me become a better author!
FireRed-Rose I think you just figured it out! Sort of anyway…that's probably what I'll end up going with except for a couple of them…I'll think of something! Thanks for taking the time to read my first fic, I really appreciated it!
XashXdawnX Thank you! Hopefully I won't let you down with this chapter! I hope you like it as much as the others, though I might disappoint you, I'm not super author here…-.- but thank you for your support!
Cat Minikay You don't sound mean at all! I kind of agree with you, the way I've been typing her is sort of annoying. She seems like a drama queen…If you could give me some suggestions on what I could do to make her better…Thanks for reviewing!
ButterflyWave Thank you so much for the review! As for the predictableness of this, hope fully Drew's 'explanation' will be surprising…the explanation itself and the way he says it… yeah, I have been getting predictable…predictableness comes with writer's block. And yes I'm sad to admit that I have suffered from writer's block for all of my stories. This is why I started a new one. That's my solution for writer's block. Not a good one but a solution nonetheless…
LAPKat Thank you so much for the review and compliment! As for the confusion let me explain; if you head back to the prologue you will notice in one of the sections Drew says that his dad lost his job and his uncle offered him a job in La'Rousse so that is why he moved therefore 'abandoning' May for three years until he moves back for some crime spree. More will be explained in this chapter :)
Monochrome13Thanks for the review! As for the outburst, that happened to me too…like you said very embarrassing…lol.
PerlesAuTresor Thank you so much! I think it really is an honor that you enjoy this story so much! I LOVE your stories and I'm so glad that one of my favorite authors likes my story so much! I'm so flattered that you think that this story will be that good. And all I can say is UPDATE! You have me on the edge of my seat with Absol! And I seriously can't wait to see what happens in Unexpected Love!
LoveLoverGrl Hey thanks for the review! And I'm glad we're on the same page again! Thanks for the score too!
redcrystaljay21 Thank you so much for the review! I hope I didn't disappoint you with this chapter, I hope I'm up to your expectations!
Chocolatehell Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my story! Thanks so much for the constructive criticism, I really appreciate it! As for the OOC-ness, just for you I researched some of the episodes that Drew appears in and hopefully I have portrayed him correctly. If I still haven't please give me some pointers on what I can do to fix the OOC-ness. Once again thank you so much for the comments! Oh and as for the line breaks, you know how in spy movies they put the time and the location of where they are at the bottom of the screen? That's what I was trying to re-create, although I could state it in the chapter I find it easier to do this.
Anon Thanks so much for the support! And thank you for leaving reviews on my other stories! I really appreciate it!
That's it for this round of reviews! And now, ON WITH THE FIC!
Drew's POV, Detention Room, 5:00 p.m.:
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh
Finally after fifteen grueling minutes of absolute torture we were finally let out. Thank Arceus.
We all rushed out of the classroom and into the parking lot where our cars were waiting. But before I could get into my car May pulled my sleeve.
"Drew, I'm sorry for yelling at you in the middle of class, it's just that I was kind of mad at you just showing up and saying sorry like you lost my iPod or something. I hope you can forgive me." She told me.
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand
"Aw isn't that sweet. You're asking for my forgiveness. You were always that goody two shoes that your dad wanted you to be." I replied with an eye roll.
"That was a low blow Drew," May said. "Anyways, what did you want to tell me?" she continued.
"If you're looking for an apology then you're sorely mistaken May. I was just going to explain why I was gone. I think you have a right to know." I said.
But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
"Yes, please oh great one. Tell me where you were these past three years." May sarcastically said.
"La'Rousse, stealing everything from under the noses of rich snobs." I said.
"Not unlike yourself then?" May countered. I snickered.
"If you want to believe so then yeah, not unlike myself." I answered.
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
"Before you continue; one question. Where's the guy that gave me those pleading looks? I'd rather talk to him than you right now." May said.
"That was just to get your attention. Remember May I've known you since we were born." I bragged.
"You know what, if all you're going to do is insult me I'd rather go home. See you later Drew." May said while walking away.
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real
"You know, I saw some pretty interesting things while in La'Rousse. Your father for example." I said casually. May instantly turned around.
"What are you talking about Drew? Don't joke about things like that…" May said softly while walking back towards me.
"You know, you might think I'm a jerk. But even I wouldn't joke about that." I replied.
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care
"How have you seen my father? He's…dead." May asked, a little shaken.
"Well it all started in La'Rousse…" I started. "You know how my uncle offered my dad a job? It turns out that my uncle was working for the brotherhood." I continued.
May gasped. And her friends and mine crowded around us.
So how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
"What was your uncle doing with the brotherhood?" May asked.
"He was a desperate man. Looking for money, and the fastest way in his opinion was working for Sinclair." I replied bitter.
"Did he…kill anyone?" May asked quietly.
"Thankfully no, he was just a petty thief. Like me." I stated in a monotone.
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No more
It's no air, no air
"Why Drew?" she asked. I walked away, Asher, Gary, Paul and Ash followed me.
"Because he's got my dad too." I muttered.
"Have you ever thought of asking anyone for help? You were always just as stubborn as me…" May asked.
"I did. But everyone I told," I paused; I gestured to my friends for effect. "Got stuck in the same situation as I. Well except for Asher and Gary." I continued.
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
"What do you mean Asher and Gary?" Leaf asked, piping up for the first time.
"Gary was already working as a thief for Sinclair. So this news wasn't new to him, he already knew how Sinclair worked." I explained.
"And why exactly Gary are you working for Sinclair?" Leaf asked.
"That my beautiful friend; is none of your business." Gary answered. Leaf glared at him.
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
"And Asher; well it's up to him if he wants to share his story." I said trying to prevent a fight happening between Gary and Leaf.
"Go ahead and tell them Drew, the faster we get this over with the faster we can find a solution." Asher muttered.
"Sinclair is his father." I announced.
"Stepfather." Asher corrected.
"And the only way Asher wouldn't get tangled up in his stepfather's business was to help me and become part of my team." I continued.
"Wait, rewind for a second. Why does Sinclair have your dad?" May asked.
"Sinclair offered my dad a position in the brotherhood. But of course he declined. So Sinclair sent some of his henchmen to kidnap him in the middle of the night. And the only way I know he's safe is if I do these small robberies for him." I answered.
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
"From what I've heard; by telling us all this you've put us all in danger of working for Sinclair. Why are you telling us this?" Misty asked.
"Because like May said, I need help. I'm sick of using my skills for Sinclair's evil purposes; I was trained to fight crime. Not commit crime." I told her.
"How are we going to stop the biggest and strongest underground evil society by ourselves?" Dawn asked.
"Well, of course we have a plan troublesome. It's not like we're doing this blindly." Paul answered.
"And what exactly is this plan?" Ella asked; her arms were crossed and one of her eyebrows was raised.
"Come to our base where it's more private and we'll tell you." Asher told her while eyeing some of the other students that were also coming out of detention.
"We'll follow you in Misty's car." Leaf answered.
They all walked to Misty's car and piled in, we followed suit and started to drive out of the school's parking lot.
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air
To be continued…
Me: Sorry guys for the super short chapter, but like I told ButterflyWave I'm starting to feel some writer's block…hopefully it's only a minor case and I'll be back to normal soon…
