Love is like the Roses you give me

Me: (starts to cry) you like me! You really like me!

Drew: Get over yourself.

May: Leave her alone!

Me: Oh boy. They still aren't talking. May, it's not his fault he had to kiss Angel.

May: I don't care. I don't like him like that.

Me: Funny. That sounds a lot like what happened between Brock and Steph. Am I going to have to write another bad poem?

Angel: It wasn't that bad.

Me: Thank you. Thank you very much.

May: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! You guys rock!

Drew: Why do I like her?

May: OoO

Me:D

Drew: Oh boy. A Rose for me-A Rose for you does not own Pokemon. Think about it people. And I know… I'M NOT A NICE PERSON.

Me: May and drew.

Angel: Sitting in a tree.

Angel and Me: K-I-S-S-I-N-G

May: I'm leaving. I'm going to see Brendan.

Drew: No!

May: You don't control me!

Me: Oh, boy. Now, without further ado… Chapter 9!!

Chapter 9
The truth of his past

"May, do you know my last name?" Drew asked suddenly.

"Huh? Well… no," May replied sheepishly.

"It's Kingly."

May thought about this for a minute. That name… it was so familiar to her.

"Wait… was Tim Kingly…?"

"Yeah. He was my Dad. And he was the creator of Pokeballs. Well… When I was 3 he left my Mam. No excuses, no answers, no fuss. Well, after he left weird things happened. Like my Mam would be there one minute and not here the next. And then the nightmares stated. I could here my Dad. He was crying in pain. And the laughter from before would ring through the house. Mam heard it too. Even when we moved it followed us. I couldn't sleep. And when I was 5… I saw them."

"Drew," May said softly, stroking his hair.

"Except… I couldn't see them. All I saw was a weird outline and glowing red eyes. I saw a man, a woman and a little kid. He had to be my age. And they would whisper things to me. Like, it's all your fault. That's why I'm afraid of the dark. They only spoke to me at night."

"Drew… are they human?" May asked.

"No. They're shadows. No human thing could do that to my Mam."

"Your… Mam?"

"She's in a hospital. She was admitted when I was 10. There was a fire. And when she came out…" Drew began to cry.

"Drew! Hush. It's OK. You don't have to tell me. It's OK. You're really brave Drew. I admire that about you. That's why I like you."

"And do you know what happened to last person who liked me? She's in the Mental Hospital. My Mam."

"Drew. You're not alone. Not new. Not ever," May said, kissing his forehead lightly.

"But if I was alone, this wouldn't have happened."

"So? Drew, I'm not leaving you and you're not leaving me. You can't keep running. Now come on. I'm getting out of this place. Let's head to the next town," May said, getting up.

She fell back down.

"May!"

"I'm OK. Lets go. Steph'll be panicking."

"I'm panicked! Where is she?" Steph said, pacing up and down, her gypsy skirt swaying.

"I'm right here," May said happily.

"May!" Steph said, hugging her.

"Are you alright?" Brock asked.

"I will be when we leave this place. Let's go to the next town."

"Not until I see a doctor. Let's go Brock," Steph said, grabbing Brock's hand and dragging him out the room.

"Are you going to tell them?" May asked.

"No. I'm not ready," Drew answered.

"That's OK."

"Why are you so afraid of fire?" Drew asked.

"Ummm… before I moved to Hoenn, I lived in Shell. Someone burned down my house. I barely made it out. Max wasn't even born. I was only about 3," May answered.

"Oh. I'm sorry," Drew said.

"Sorry? Why? Drew… you're my hero!" May said kissing his cheek and hugging him.

His time Drew hugged her back. After all, he had been alone for so long it felt nice to have someone love him. Even if it was just as a friend.

Me: Ta-da! What do you think?

Drew: You have this thing of making me OOC.

Me: Well, I hate it when you read a story and the author doesn't update for ages. Sorry this chapter is short again.

Angel: This chapter is really depressing.

May: That explains why he's so messed up.

Me: Will you 2 get on?! Anyway next chapter will be particularly interesting. But I won't update until I have 80 reviews.

May: 10 more!

Drew: So if you want her to keep writing you had better…

Everyone: REVIEW!

Me: Thank you, good night!
