Later that night…
"Andy, are you still here?" Natalie asked, searching for me. She'd brought along Fiona, Becca, Ellie, Adrianna, an Umbreon, and a Flareon.
"Yeah." I replied, clutching my guitar. "I'm here."
"Oh so this is the boy? He doesn't look like mu-" the Umbreon began to boast, but I had already appeared in front of her, my guitar at my side.
"I don't look like what?" I asked, smiling a dark smile. She flattened her ears, and mumbled an apology.
"Ooo! He's fast, I want to play with him!" the Flareon said, jumping like a little kid.
"So, who are they?" I asked Natalie.
"The Umbreon is Ujana, and the Flareon is Flare." She replied, giving me a long concerned gaze.
"Guess it's nice to meet you two." I said, uncaring, "You guys ready?"
They all sat and prepared to listen to my song. Andy, You're A Star- The Killers.
I experimentally plucked a string, satisfied that it was tuned to my liking. I began to strum to a steady dark sounding song.
"On the field I remember you were, incredible, hey shadda, hey shadda, yeah." I began to sing, my mother's lyrics of course. I remember she used to sing this to me when I was sad, hopefully it still works…
"On the field I remember you were, incredible, hey shadda, hey shadda, yeah." The song began to pick up a little with my playing. "On the match with the boys, you think you're alone, With pain that you drain from love. In a car with a girl, who promised me she's not your world, cause Andy you're a star."
The girls registered the lyrics in their minds, Becca and Natalie began tearing up. The others just looked at me sadly, except for Flare, who was truly enjoying the song.
"Leave your number on the locker, and I'll give you a call, hey shadda, hey shadda, yeah. Leave your legacy and gold on the plaques, that line the hall, hey shadda, hey shadda, yeah." The song began to pick up again, as did the girls emotional levels. On the streets, such a sweet face jumping in town, in the staffroom the verdict is in. In a car with a girl, who promised me she's not your world, cause Andy, you're a star! In nobody's eyes but mine. Andy, you're a star! In nobody's eyes but mine. Andy, you're a star! In nobody's eyes…..In nobody's eyes but mine." I played the rest of the song, all the girls, except Flare, were crying.
"A-Andy that was beautiful!" Adrianna managed between her sobs.
"Thank you, it was my mother's song." I replied. "It's getting late, you guys should go back and sleep." I suggested, trying to tell them that I wanted to be alone.
"G-Good idea, let's g-go girls." Fiona whimpered, I noted that she cried a little harder than the others.
"You coming to Andy?" Natalie asked me. I smiled and shook my head. It was just me and her in the clearing.
"Listen, Natalie," I began, "I need your help. I'm going to be kind of depressed for awhile, make sure I don't do anything to stupid ok?"
"Sure." Natalie replied, confident that she would keep me safe.
"Thanks, I don't know what I'd do without you."
My Absol friend just blushed, trailing one of her claws in the dirt.
"Come on, let's go catch up with the others." I said, flashing her a smile. Little did we know it would be one of my last for a while.
She nodded, and we both walked side by side, out of a forest where I'd spend almost all of my days.

3 weeks later…
My condition had worsened over the three weeks of depression. I hardly ate, and socialized with anyone, unless spoken to, and a few champions had finally met with me. There was a Dewott, named Samantha, but she preferred to be called Sam, and a Miltank named Maria. They were okay with me, but Sam seemed a little hostile when I first met her. It could've been that swords at the throat were a greeting, or she planned to kill me.
I woke up. On my own. I haven't done that for almost two weeks. Natalie was sleeping on the bed above me, her paw, close to my face. I brightened up a little, which was a warning sign to me. Becca warned me that if this happened, I would either cure my depression, or it would worsen. I didn't want to wake Natalie, she had slaved to my every need, keeping me alive.
Guess today's the day..
I wrote a short note to Natalie that I'd be in the forest. She'd probably come looking for me as soon as she woke up, but if I wanted free time, I would have to leave now. I felt a slight impulse, and grabbed my guitar.
The 'Clearing' was my sanctuary. I'd train here, only to be sure I haven't lost any of my skills. I had moved a boulder into the center, for me to relax on, and I made my way to it.
I felt a presence, and scanned the immediate surrounding area. But my gut was pulling me to my rock.
I sighed as I sat upon my rock, staring up to the sky, looking at the clouds. I hadn't used my guitar since that night I sang my mother's song, but I really wanted to play it. As if possessed, I began to play my guitar.
xXx
Natalie's POV…
My heart skipped a beat when I read that note. He is now in a state of mind where anything can set him off, in either direction.
I've got to find him, to make sure he's safe.
I ran to the clearing Andy had established his. I stuck to the shadows, when I heard a strange, techno sounding song emitting from Andy's boulder. I saw him there, beginning to play his guitar, eyes closed as he concentrated. He began to sing a song, and I had an eerie feeling that this was his 'moment' as Becca put it.
xXx
Andy's POV…
Sail- AWOLnation (LISTEN TO THIS, so you will understand!)
I heard a techno music, and a slight choir noise emitting from the guitar I was currently playing. I knew this song, and knew that I had to sing it, knowing that this would be a factor in deciding my fate.
"This is how I show my love. I made it in my mind because, I blame it on my ADD, baby." My voice had changed to a sort of static sounding voice. Changes voices too? The song began to blare out, sounding completely serious, yet care-free at the sametime.
"This is how an Angel dies. I blame it on my own sick pride. Blame it on my ADD, baby."
I heard rustling in the bushes, a quick 360 look of my surroundings, and I saw my fellow champions, looking at me, worry on all of their faces. I was so in tuned to my music, that I hadn't missed a beat.
"Maybe I should cry for help. Maybe I should kill myself." Everyone took a couple steps closer, wondering if I was going to do just that. I noticed Truth in front of me, shining. "Blame it on my ADD, baby."
"Maybe I'm a different breed. Maybe I'm not listening. Blame it on my ADD, baby." I sang, beofr the music just cut itself off. All of my fellow champions looked at me, crouched before I picked up Truth.
My champions advanced on me, ready to save me.
I looked at my sword, and back to my champions, my friends. My vision, then focused on Natalie, who was further behind the champions. Her face streaked with tears. I hopped off the rock, Truth in hand, and made my way to her. Her entire body shaking.
"Now what's a pretty girl like you crying for?" I asked softly, my voice sounding normal.
Her body stopped shaking. She looked up at me glaring, unformed tears at the tips. I found myself locked in one her gaze. She's so beautiful…
She growled, and Natalie tackled me and used her scythe to cut a gash in my chest.
I didn't even flinch. She took it a different way.
"I swear to Arceus Andy, that if you try to kill yourself, and l-leave m-me…" She tried to finish but she just started crying into my shoulder.
I felt absolutely horrible. I looked and saw my friends, tears that made a sweet caress on their faces.
"I don't deserve to be cried for…" I said.
"That's not true! You've done really amazing things in such a short amount of time! You survived Moltres's fire attacks, saved hundreds of Pokémon, prevented Becca from getting raped, and you avenged your mother!" Adrianna yelled, her words slapping me like a mad Brit.
I moved Natalie off of me, causing her to cry harder. I picked up Truth, and removed it from its scabbard. I stared into Truth for what seemed like minutes, but what was really just seconds.
I started shaking. Then I chuckled. My chuckling then evolved into laughter, the girls staring at me in confusion.
I turned to Natalie, and placed Truth down. "Like I said before, I don't deserve to be cried for…" I brought Natalie into a hug, "And my friends don't deserve to be sad." I said softly, before placing a kiss on Natalie's head.
She blushed madly, looking up at me. "S-So, w-what are you g-going to do?" She said, stuttering.
I smiled, looking them all in the eye. "I'm going to make sure my friends are safe, if it's physical or emotional, I'm going to protect you. Besides, I can't really do that if I'm dead." I chuckled along with my friends at my joke.
"Come on guys, it's time we made things normal." I said. Everyone smiled brightly. Then the air was filled with a sweet scent. All the girls eyes turned to fear.
"Becca, what is today?" Ujana asked, worried for some reason.
Becca visibly pailed. "The 7th of Feburary," she gulped before finishing her sentence, "The beginning of Heat month."
Lol. Sorry for the late update, but anyway here's the breakdown. Andy went into a depression, sorry I didn't make that part longer, and has dug himself out of it. He made his feelings known to Natalie, and something called Heat Month has started. Guess you know what that means?
Natalie: (Huffing) I don't know why you made him kiss me, I only like kissing you.
Me: Aww, don't be like that, it's for the readers…..MMMPH!
Natalie: (Starts pulling me to the bedroom) Come on! Let's have some fun.
Me: Don't forget to review!
