" " = speaking ' '= thoughts


I wiped away yet another tear, "Why am I crying? It's so useless and stupid and weak and...and.." That self control only lasted those few seconds till emotion had once again taken over. Bringing my knees closer to my chest, I wrapped an around them.

"After today Green's gone. Blue's forever going to have him...that's how it should be... But."
'But it hurts so much thinking about it. I know, I know I sound like a hypocritical child. I just never thought it be this hard to see him permanently leave my l-'

"Damn it! Crying is useless!" I lifted my head and wiped more of those damn tears away. Even though I keep saying that, my lip quivered when the words of the night before entered my head. "Could they be true? Or was he just that drunk...he said...he still..." I whispered to myself before laying my head back in my arms.

'Mew I miss him...No! I should have slapped him! I wish I did.. He's not even going to come and apologize! Such a big jer- Who is messing with my hair..'

Hesitantly, I lifted my head, hoping to dear Arceus it wasn't May or Blue, Yellow would be ok- Oh my mew. Not him, why him?

I buried my face back to my knees, this time in an attempt to hide.

~OoO~

Green smiled lightly, "Misty. I can still see you and it's obvious I'm not mistaking." He sat down next to her.

From the moment he had seen a tear shed from those cerulean orbs, he had wanted to embrace her in a hug. Do something to stop it. That hotheaded woman crying is not something you see often, so seeing her this hurt crushed him. He couldn't stand seeing her cry. However what really upset him was the smile she forced to cover up all that sadness. The smile she was using for the last 3 months. The smile she'll be using for the next few hours. 'Why can't she ever think of her own feelings?'

Misty sniffed and lifted her head, straightening herself. She turned her body so she wasn't facing him. "Damn red hair. Never let's me get away with anything." she joked, trying to brush her tears away without him noticing. Then turned back to him smiling, causing his hand to twitch.

"You know it's funny. This one time in the mall this girl I didn't see in years-" Misty rambled attempting to change the subject.

Green frowned, took his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her closer so her head would be on his shoulder.

"You know...crying isn't useless. Faking it is." he paused, "It's a way to release all the feelings you hold within you."

Misty tensed, 'W-Was he listening to what I was saying?'

"And it isn't weak.. It's not weak if the tears are valid."

"Y-You didn't happen to hear everything I said a few seconds ago, did you?" Misty asked looking up at him nervously.

He gave her a sympathetic smile and nodded "I did."

A bright pink shade rest on her cheeks. Lifting her hand, she threw light punches at his arm, mostly out of embarrassment than anger. "You sneaky eavesdropper! I can't believe you!"

He laughed, unaffected by the punches. "Misty, you're in the middle of the hallway talking to yourself. You can't expect no one to hear you."

She didn't stop punching him, "I don't care! You could've been nice enough to turn the other way and leave me be!"

Green hugged her to stop the punches. " I can't just leave a crying girl..." he whispered in her ear.

Misty's cheeks turned a darker shade of pink. He came after her to comfort her even though she had called him..that. This really touched her.

"...Plus. I want to know...You mentioned me drunk. Were you the one who took me home from the club?"

"W-What? No way! I wasn't even talking about you." she lied, trying to forget that whole experience. "And I'm pretty sure one of your friends would've taken you home."

"All of my friends were drunk Misty."

"They still could've taken you home!"

"Really? Because I called them and they said I just stumbled out of the club and hadn't seen me for the rest of the night."

"Well what a shame. Either way you're, Green Oak and everyone knows where you live. Some kind stranger probably picked you up. Don't just go off randomly accusing me."

Sighing he reached into his pocket and pulled out the little barrette. "Isn't this yours?"

Her eyes widened as she snatched it out of his hands, falling for the trap. "Yes! Where the heck did you find it?"

"It was on me when I woke up. If you weren't the one who took me home. How did this end up on top of me?"

Misty gaped, knowing she was caught.

He laughed quietly and ruffled her hair "Exactly Misty. Though what I'm really concerned about is...what exactly did I say?"

This caused Misty's cheeks to slowly turn red, cringe, and attempt to scoot herself away.

Sighing again he grabbed Misty's hand, "I'm not going to allow you to escape."

She pouted, "You didn't say anything really..just laughed a lot."

"Mhm." he raised an eyebrow, looking at her skeptically. "Then why did you say 'Was he really that drunk' pause. 'He said' pause. 'He still' and then refused to continue."

Was it possible that her face got redder? "Stop listening when I'm talking to myself!"

"No changing the subject. I want to know."

"..."

"Misty." he urged.

"Okay. Fine!" she sighed and looked at the floor, "Mostly..you..just rambled."

"Misty. The point."

"Err..you well. Said something...well a possibility that..maybe youstillmightloveme." she quickly stated, closing her eyes tightly.

"Oh."

Misty opened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. "Oh? That's all you have to say. Oh?"

"..."

"Green!" Boy was she irritated. Though no time to think of that. Time to ask something a bit more important. "You wanted to know. So now I want to know something! Is it true? Or was it the alcohol talking...?" Why did she ask that? Now she has to hear that answer. No going back since it was already said. GAH, if only the ground would swallow her up. Distraction please?

"I-" he was caught off as the door that bride and bridesmaid were in, opened.


I just realized how bi polar I made Misty in the beginning XD Oh and when Green said "Faking it is" he meant faking being happy Should've clarified that a bit more ^^;

Not my best chapter but it will make do. My favorite chapters coming next ;D The story has a better feel to it in the next chapter just in my opinion. Not in the tension though I just think the form I write things. It's not dreadfully sad I guess ^^;

[EDIT Dec. 25: Oh gosh...I can't believe I wrote this. I can't stop laughing. Sure it's cute and Misty seems to just be crazy it's just so...sappy. Oh god I feel like a hypocrite. Ehh. Well it gets better and my grammar/spelling mistake are horrendous. Not to mention the description is just so amateurish. I'll try to go back and bump up all the chapters...Someday. Though I'm still not great with this so, some patience would be nice. Sorry :| I'll try to write better! Though now I write differently.
And it seems like I'm always transferring the characters seeing each other by :insert girl buried their head in body part: :Insert thoughts of freaking out girl: :insert male touching hair: ...Just why.]
