(May's POV)
I feel so warm…...yet so cold, why am i sweating uncontrollably? Drew…..Drew you bastard! I will never forgive you for what you did!
I kept running, running as far as i could, i didn't care where i was being taken, just as long as it was far from him, i can't bear to be by his side any longer, my heart aches, it hurts, and it pounds, no matter how much this feeling is taking over me i just can't forget what happened, my life…..our lives just never became the same after that moment.
I kept wiping the tears with my arm, they just wouldn't stop coming out, i feel so embarrassed, running through the crowded streets and letting people witness me crying like a baby, he did this too me, he always has to be the cause behind my tears, my life could have been perfectly normal if we had never met.
(End of Eighth grade, Summer vacation)
She looked up at the cherry blossom tree, her hands behind her back and such frozen stance, she didn't mind that the wind was blowing her hair and uniform to the side, she didn't care at all, all she could pay attention to was the tree, the tree which held so many precious memories, with so many precious people.
"May…." she lowered her head, then sighed and slowly turned back only to see Drew standing there, he seemed a bit uneasy, not by her, but by the fact that she was looking and standing in that spot, he made his way over to her, step by step still feeling the same uneasy feeling, he couldn't stand to face the tree at all, he grabbed her hand and pulled her away, but she refused.
He looked back at her only to see her with tears, "May!...W-what's wrong?"
She grabbed his shirt and buried her face into it, he could hear her cries, her sobs which kept ringing through his ears.
"Drew…..we're alone…...all of our friends are gone, we have no one with us…...one by one they just….left". he could feel the wetness from her tears soaking through his shirt, he didn't care though, she was the only thing on his mind, he closed his eyes, also trying to hold back, he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight, refusing to let her go at any given time.
"We're not alone…...we have each other…...we have each other". he whispered repeatedly, burying his face into her hair, he kissed the top of it and then pulled her away gently, enough to just see her face, the redness in her eyes and the flaring of her cheeks.
"You will always...ALWAYS…..have me, because i'm not going anywhere, i promise you that". he leaned in for a kiss, letting the last of the trees blossom petals fall over them.
(Earlier that day)
They had entered through the door, letting the echo of the doors slam and sound throughout the main hall, "Where is everyone"? she looked around, noticing that it was completely empty in his house, he sighed, rubbing the front of his forehead.
"My dad and stepmom decided to take a vacation along with my brothers and sisters, i didn't feel like going so i got stuck here alone".
She looked over to an inner opening between two walls, without even thinking she made her way towards it, there was a giant portrait of a beautiful woman on it, she had beautiful dark green colored hair that was so full and curled that it looked soft enough to be compared to clouds, her eyes sparkled with an intense emerald color that hypnotized the brunette, her skin was flawless and nicely beige toned, her lips were as red as a rose and cheeks as rosy as well. Dozens of candles were lit under the portrait as well as vases of beautiful red blood roses that nearly covered the entire floor.
He walked up behind her, staring up at the portrait with such sadness yet a tiny smile rested on his lips, "Today…..is her death anniversary…..five years….it's been five years since my mother died…..i'll never forget".
She looked at him in a distraught manner, "Why didn't you tell me? It must have been lonely these past few weeks".
He kept staring at the portrait, "I didn't think it was nothing important".
She flicked him in the head, he looked at her slightly shocked, "I'm your girlfriend….we should be able to tell each other everything, no matter if it's big or small….i will always be here to make you happy Drew…..and to never let you feel alone". she began staring at him with furrowed brows.
He smiled contemptly, "That's my line, i should be the one doing all of those things for you the most…. dummy".
"We both should". he picked her hand into his and led her away from the shrine, she looked back at it one final time, frowning at how Drew was suffering right now, they stopped in front of a red colored door, there was a gold star in the middle.
"My dads recording studio is just below the house….he never allows me or my siblings to enter through, but i've snuck in a couple of times and eventually got used to everything that's inside".
He turned the knob and pushed the door open, walking in first and leading the brunette behind, the lights turned on one by one and eventually lit up the entire room, it definitely wasn't what she imagined.
It looked just like a professional studio, it was huge as well, the walls were painted orange on one side, black on the other, and red on the rest, instruments were neatly placed against the wall, plaques of records and autographed albums were hung high, there was even a sound recording box, mic stands were aligned next to each other and were even hanging by the wall, the carpet was perfectly clean and white, everything needed for a studio was there.
"Wow….but i thought your dads studio was in the main city"?
He nodded, "It is….he also has several other studios scattered through every region, this is only if he feels like working from home".
"I see…..does your dad ever ask about your singing"? he looked away, letting his bangs shield his face.
"I'm not…..allowed….n-nothing…" she looked at him curiously.
He grabbed her hand once more and pulled her into the sound box, "Wha?! Drew!" he picked her up by the waist and lifted her onto the white piano in the center of the room, she took a seat and watched as he sat in front of the keys, he pulled out a remote and clicked on one of the buttons, the lights became dimmer and several back up tones started playing soundly.
He closed his eyes and began playing to the keys.
(Faithfully Glee version)
She looked at him as if she had become hypnotized, admiring the cool and calm act he was in as he played to the melody, his eyes opened and looked straight into hers.
Drew:
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
She didn't look away, but instead stared into his emerald colored eyes, she could feel the emotions through his stare, making hers glisten with the light, without even noticing her lips began moving as well.
May:
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire
May and Drew:
And they say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
But, right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
She leaned back and stared up at the ceiling, closing her eyes and holding her hands to her heart, he watched, keeping a straight face towards her.
May:
Oh boy, you stand by me
She sat back up and slid down onto the ground, she began strolling around the piano and him with her hands behind her back, she kept her eyes closed but a short smile was visible on her.
Drew and May:
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
May:
Circus life
Under the big top world
Drew and May:
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
She twirled around and stopped just next to him, arching her back onto the piano and holding her hand out to cup his cheek.
May:
Oh!
Through space and time (Drew: Through space and time)
May and Drew:
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being a part ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
He gave her a sincere smile and closed his eyes once more to flow into the music, she stood behind him this time, wrapping her arms over his shoulders and leaning her chin on it, there cheeks touching just slightly.
Drew:
Oh girl, you stand by me
Drew and May:
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Drew and May:
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh...! (May: Faithfully...)
Oh oh oh oh (May: Faithfully)
Oh oh oh oh oh (May: I'm still yours)
oh oh oh oh oh oh
She slid into the empty spot next to his seat, she leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes along with him.
Drew and background music:
Oh oh oh oh oh
Drew, May and background music:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
May:
I'm still yours!
Background music:
Oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh
Drew, May and background music:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh!
Background music:
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
They opened their eyes simultaneously, shifting their heads towards the other.
Drew and May:
I'm still yours!
Faithfully…
They looked into the each others eyes and touched lips, letting there eyes flutter back shut, she pulled away first and grabbed his hand, leading him out of the basement, they stopped right in front of the studio door, she held her head down, making him confused at the situation.
"May…..what's wrong"? he reached his hand out to touch her but she lifted her head up allowing him to see the overall crimson shading in her face.
"D-drew…..drew….i-i…..m-me…..to-together….y-you….". She took in a deep breath.
"You …..are the one…the only one for me….when we sang together…..i realized….you are the one i can only love". She hugged him leaving him a bit frozen as she did, but he smiled and hugged her back.
She pulled away just enough to face him and kissed him this time, only this time it was more of a passion filled kiss, there kiss only deepened by the minute, she pulled away once more and with her hand holding his she ran off towards the stairs and up.
"May? What are you doing?" he looked a bit taken aback, she didn't say anything, but instead he had noticed the red coming back to her face.
She stopped in front of his room, then turned and lowered her head once more, this time grabbing onto his shirt with both hands full, "Drew…...i…..i want….". her voice became lower and lower with every word, he lifted her face up as he grabbed her chin.
"Shh….are….you sure"? she nodded, he sighed and then kissed her, he picked her up into his arms and then flung the door to his room open, then kicked it back close once he entered inside with her.
(A couple of weeks later)
"May?...Sweetie? Are you ok?" Her mother pressed her ear against the door only to hear more gurgling and disturbing sounds from the other side, she could hear May throwing up repeatedly but was still not being answered by the brunette.
She leaned over the toilet once more to throw up, she closed her eyes as tears were being forced out with every pressure the purging was putting, she held her hand over her stomach and then weakly stumbled back onto the floor, shutting her eyes to prevent any tears from coming out.
She could hear the heavy breaths she was releasing and felt the temperature of her body rising, "Wh-what's happening"?
(Drew's Home)
He was laying on his bed, holding his phone up towards the ceiling, he kept staring at the black screen, then clicked the home button revealing a picture of him and May sitting together under the cherry blossom tree, staring into each others eyes so passionately.
He sighed then placed his phone on the nightstand, "She hasn't texted me in weeks….May….do you hate me"?
He kept staring up at the ceiling, drifting into a deep abyss of thought, *She hasn't texted in weeks…..she hasn't come over either, and when i try to go over, her mom or brother always say she is busy or not home….i knew we shouldn't have….have done that…..it ruined everything….*
He placed his arm over his face, hiding his eyes from sight, "May…don't abandon me….please".
(May)
She opened the door carefully, sliding in right through without trying to make any noise, the door slammed shut hard, she flinched.
"May? is that you?" Her mother called out, she could hear the clicking of the older woman's heels against the floor, she rushed up the stairs as quick as possible and safely entered into her room locking it as well.
She rested against the door, breathing heavily as she slid down to the ground, she held up the bag and pulled out a box, a pregnancy test.
*I can't believe i payed a homeless man to buy it for me…..this...this just can't be all real…...oh Drew…..i'm so scared*
She scurried into the bathroom attempting to take the test, minutes passed, yet it felt like an eternity to her.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and then looked down, opening them to see…..they drooped, a positive mark was shown on the stick…..she hadn't noticed, but tears had already fallen, landing on the test.
"No…..no no no no no no no this can't be happening no no no...how? how?!" she stumbled to the floor on her hands and knees, gasping desperately for air as she cried even more furiously.
"Drew's going to hate me…..he's going to hate me…..i'm sorry Drew…..I'm sorry!" She slammed her fist onto the ground, not caring about the pain it had just caused to her.
*I was the one who wanted to do it….why...why…..i'm so stupid…...i'm sorry….Drew".
(Drew)
"Hmm". he was startled by the sudden voice, he rose from his bed and looked at the door, a beautiful woman was standing there, long chartreuse colored hair, light olive gray tinted eyes, rosy pink lips and such pale ivory skin, she had a perfectly toned body judging by her curves to end her beautiful look. He could only glare at her however, but her only response was a careless face, a face that intimidated him, a look that ensured superiority.
"A man should never cry so pointlessly…...only three times in his life should that type of behavior be allowed…..when he is born, when his parents die, and when he gives away his daughters hand…..you are so pathetic".
"What do you want devil woman? Did you come here to give me another stupid lesson about being a man? If i didn't know any better it seems to me that you were born to be one, sure explains alot".
Her expression had completely changed, she was irritated by the young teen, her teeth grinding quietly as they stared angrily at one another.
"You...should have more respect for me, you little brat! I'm your stepmother!" she slapped him, however he seemed unfazed by the slap, his eyes became lifeless.
"You may look somewhat like my mother….but she was beautiful both inside and out, you may only appear beautiful on the outside...but you are just one repulsive devil inside".
"How dare you…..i gave up part of my precious youth years into raising you and your little brat siblings! I could easily have you shipped off into boarding school over in Unova or even kalos, and you know what? Your father will easily agree with me because he's in love with me, so i suggest you show a bit more respect to me".
"I don't care what you do, i'll run away if i have to, i would much rather be fed to sharpedo than be here with you".
She began staring at her nails boredly, "Seems we both wish the same thing, unfortunately, your father is really protective with you since you are the first son, he has high expectations for you in the future, and so do i, as the lady of this family i simply cannot be embarrassed, you must present yourself as the perfect son to everyone, understood"?
"And why should i do that? I would much rather make a fool of myself than let you keep pretending to be something i know you're not".
"The status of your father depends on you, if you do anything to give the Shu family a bad name then you will be a disgrace, your fathers recording studios are expanding by the years, he plans to expand further into different types of businesses, it is time you start thinking about your future at Shu enterprises as well, if you can't even train yourself into a perfect chairman i will make sure you suffer the consequences".
"I don't care about any of it, don't tell me what i should and shouldn't do, you are not my real mother! stop trying to mold me into this imaginary perfect son, why don't you and my dad just have a baby of your own! That's right! I forgot you're not even woman enough to have a child of your own! So just stop! I am not a puppet for you to control!"
He jumped out of his bed and rushed out the door, leaving the woman speechless, angry, and broken hearted. She clenched her fists, shutting her eyes tight.
She stayed in that position for a while, whispering "You mock me….knowing i can't even have a child of my own….you….you". She stopped and calmed herself down when she heard a beeping noise, it came from the bed, she grabbed his phone and saw it was a text from May.
May: Drew….i need to tell you something, can you meet me under the cherry blossom tree at school, around 3? It's…...really important.
"Hmmmm….just how important is it my little May". she mumbled and then texted back the brunette with his phone.
Drew: Ok, I'll meet you there.
"Drew Shu….you have no idea how scary i can be….". She hid his phone in her pocket and walked out.
(The Next Day)
She was waiting under the tree, leaning against it as she watched the wind scatter the petals from the ground around.
She took out her phone and texted him:
May: Drew…..did you not come?
Drew: I did, i'm on the other side of the tree…..don't look though, i'm scared yet somewhat shy to see you again after so long…..so please, just tell me what's wrong?
She didn't look to the other side, she held her hand to her chest and sighed, "Drew….i'm pregnant….". She broke down into tears, "I'm so sorry! It's...it's all my fault, i'm really sorry Drew! Please don't hate me!"
The woman stood on the opposite end of the tree, shocked at the brunettes confession, but she looked bothered by it, her hands had turned into fists, she was clenching her teeth so tightly that she began feeling pain, *He's rubbing it in! He's rubbing in the fact that i can't even bare a child of my own blood, and he does it by impregnating his girlfriend, he'll pay for this, i'll make him pay…i swear….*
She came out from behind the tree, walking over to May who was wiping her tears, "Hello May". she looked down at the brunette with a cold stare.
"Mrs Shu!?" She looked frightened to the point where she began turning pale.
"What is this i just heard about you being pregnant...and with my sons unborn child".
"I-i didn't know you were here….i thought Drew was here".
"He was….but he left the minute he heard the word pregnant, i was just coming back from discussing some things with the school district, that's when i saw Drew against the tree…..i must confess, he didn't look too pleased about it dear".
"I-i knew it…...i don't blame him…..i'm the one to blame for this, i ruined everything for me...especially for him". She started crying again, the green haired woman handed her a cloth to wipe her tears with.
"No no sweetie….don't blame yourself, he is just as equally to blame for this….but….allow me to be of help to you". She took the blue eyed girls hand and led her away.
"How?" she looked up at the flawless woman, a small grin appeared on her lips.
"We'll make sure that little thing inside you is gone for good, trust in good ol …. my little dear".
(Drew)
"You what?!" He stood up from the table, slamming his hands on the surface and making the plates and glasses jump, his brothers and sisters flinched at their older siblings sudden outburst, his father sat across from him, sipping his wine glass while his stepmother took a bite of her dinner.
"You heard clearly didn't you Drew? I'm sending you to study abroad for the year, your mother found an excellent school in Kalos". his father didn't even bat an eye, he remained calm and quite emotionless.
"She's not my mother! and i'm not going to a stupid school all the way over there! Open your eyes dad and see that she's only doing this because she hates me"!
"Enough"! The entire room became silent, the young teen seemed just as shocked at his father's sudden tone.
"She is only doing what is best for the heir of the Shu fortune, i will not be disgraced by a son who treats his father and mother with such manners, you will be attending school over seas for the year, end of discussion"! he stood from his seat and threw his napkin on the table, making all his children frown.
"Father…." he ran out of the dining hall, leaving Azalea to grin deviously from the little show.
(Week later, Drew)
*I fell into temptation, i ruined everything with May, she abandoned me after that moment, i shouldn't have done it with her, she really does hate me*
He kicked his suitcase, sending it sliding across the floor and hitting the shelf.
"Didn't i tell you i would do this"? Azalea appeared by the door again, smirking at the green haired boy who glared at her like always.
"Shut up! I'm still not going, i don't care what it takes, i'll disappear if it's possible"!
"No you won't, because if you do, i'll track you down, you can never hide from me Drew".
"I'm not Leaving! and I'm not leaving the girl i love! I need to see her!"
She blocked the exit when he tried to leave, "I'm afraid you can't, my god daughter Brianna is visiting today, you're going to be her guide for today, understood"?
He sneered, "Like hell i will! Do it yourself!" He made his way through the door and out, she grabbed the water bottle from his nightstand and dropped a powder inside.
She heard the sound of the door bell, "God mother"!
She went down the stairs and saw the short haired darkish red headed girl standing by the entrance, "Brianna sweetie! I'm so glad you are here!" she hugged her, looking over at Drew who was standing nearby, giving her a venomous look.
She grabbed both teens and put them side by side, "Drew why don't you take brianna upstairs and get to know each other well.
"No, i need to go visit somebody important". he started walking away, she looked at the red headed girl and signaled her with her eyes to take him up.
"Uh...Drew! You can do that later! C'mon!" she dragged the green haired boy upstairs, he tried to pull his hand away but she kept using both of hers to hold on to him, he couldn't fight against a girl.
"May….." he mumbled.
( May)
"I haven't talked to Drew since i confessed about my pregnancy….but, because Mrs. Shinji helped me…...to not be pregnant anymore, i need to find Drew and talk with him". she opened the gates to her estate and walked out, staring at the ground endlessly and emotionless.
"He really does hate me…..i ignored his messages and phone calls for almost a month, and i even got mom and Max to lie to me by saying i was never around…...i'm the worst girlfriend ever".
She stopped when she reached the gates to his home, when they opened she took the road up ahead, holding in her breath and getting herself ready.
(Drew)
She opened the door to his room, "Wow! it's so huge!" She was admiring the large quality of his room, as big as a master room it was.
"Yeah….uh-huh". he rolled his eyes.
She dragged him to the bed and made him sit beside her, he sighed irritatingly, he grabbed the water bottle and drank from it, "So Drew, i heard from my godmother that you will be inheriting your dad's fortune when you are older"? she was gleaming with excitement.
"That's what they want". he replied coldly, he made a distinct face though, feeling uneasy, weak, dizzy, and partially a bit hormonal.
Her expression had changed as well, her eyes became cold and snake like, she was grinning deviously, she climbed onto his lap wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Wh-what….the hell are you doing"? he began sweating heavily.
(Downstairs)
The door rung, when Azalea answered it she saw the brunette standing in front, "Hi Mrs. Shu, i was wondering if i could speak to Drew right now".
She grinned gracefully to the blue eyed teen, "Of course Sweetie, Hm...well he was in the kitchen last i remember..".
She smiled, "Is it ok if i go wait in his room"?
The woman nodded, "Of course sweetie, go right ahead, if i see him i will tell him where you are".
"Thank you". she ran up the stairs, not able to see Azalea smirking at her every move.
She walked until she reached his room, she turned the knob and opened the door, it flung open revealing the shocking scene.
She was kissing him, but he wasn't refusing it, he was kissing her back, there was heat between it, she couldn't move, her heart was beating fast, her eyes wouldn't move at all, she was tearing up and yet she couldn't say a thing.
She pulled away from the kiss, smiling down at him and then looking over at the door, where May was standing, broken.
"What are you-..." he stared at her and then over at where she was staring at….his eyes widened when they met with May's, he pushed Brianna off of his lap and stood up.
"May"! she ran away, prompting him to go after her.
She hurried down the stairs and opened the doors running out as fast as she could, he was getting closer to her as he continued chasing the brunette, his sweating only increased and he felt even dizzier.
"May..Please! Stop!" she did, he stopped just a few inches from her, her back was kept to him but he could tell she was already in tears by the way her shoulders kept rising and dropping from her trying to keep them in.
She turned around, letting him see the redness in her eyes, the overflowing tears and utter broken manner she was in, "After all we've been through…..you told me you would always be here for me….but i guess you've been there for other girls too….huh? I gave my heart to you Drew….i gave you everything i could to prove how much i cared for you…..but i guess it just wasn't worth anything…...it's ok i guess…..after all i was the one avoiding you…..of course you would move on even after what happened, i hope you find happiness with the one you truly love…...my feelings for you however….won't change, but i don't think i can ever love again, the pain i am feeling is just too much…...goodbye…...Drew".
Streams of tears were falling from his eyes, he fell on his knees, staring after the brunette as she turned her back to him and walked away without another word or glance towards him, "May….but i'll ever only….. love you".
He pressed his hands on the ground, breathing difficulty and getting more light headed, he kept screaming from the pain in his heart, his tears were staining the concrete over and over on the same spot, the shadow of his stepmother appeared before him.
"You have nothing to stay here for….you blew your only chance with the girl who actually loved you, if i were you, i would pack my things immediately and leave, because as far as i know….you no longer have anything precious in your life, one by one they all abandoned you".
He collapsed on the ground, watching as May exited out of his estates gates, he kept reaching his hand out but let it drop when he couldn't see her anymore, "Ok….you win, i'll…...i'll go to that stupid school…..". his eyes had fallen closed as he blacked out.
She lifted his wrist with the tip of her pump and then dropped it carelessly with a victorious and equally evil grin, "I told you not to mess with me from day one didn't i"?
(May)
She started running, she didn't want to stop, she kept running as far she could, so far that she could escape everything, but she stopped, just noticing that she had ran to the cherry blossom tree, she knelt down in front of it, crying more and more as she kept staring at it, what made it even more painful was that there was a carved heart of with her and Drew's name on it.
"Drew!" she cried out as loud as she could then lowered her head, hiding her face in her hands and weeping quietly to herself now.
"May…" she looked up and then back, Azalea was standing there solely, looking down at her with comforting and sympathetic eyes.
"I'm so sorry for what my idiot stepson did". she walked up closer and knelt behind the brunette, clutching her shoulders slightly and leaned closer to her ear.
"You don't need that type of person in your life, he ran away when you told him you were pregnant and he didnt even bother to come looking for you after that, you had to come to him instead, and even so he decided to mess around with my goddaughter, i thought they were only friends but i surely didn't believe they were doing such these things….i'm really sorry May". Her whispers had made the brunette quiet, her tears stopped, but her eyes still held sadness within, she looked lost in her own thoughts.
"He…..never cared for me, he never really loved me….".
"Well, i can't say that for myself, but his actions sure seemed to show it, May, please help me fix the mess my son has done".
May had stood up, looking back and then up at the woman as she rose on her feet as well, "How? how can you help me?"
She held her hand out to the young girl who took it, "I can send you somewhere far, somewhere where you can forget about all the things that have hurt you, it will only be for a year but i can guarantee you that you will no longer feel the pain, if you want i will talk with your parents and i promise you they won't reject the offer i make".
She looked down at the ground for a while, then up at the woman again, she nodded, "Please do it, i want to forget everything".
(Drew, A few days later)
He stepped out of the car, the driver unloaded his luggage and placed it beside the young man, he looked up at the sign, "Airport". he sighed.
Azalea walked up next to him, crossing her arms with that regular smirk of hers, "Don't think too bad of it Drew, in a year you will return and you will be a completely different person, a true man i hope".
"..." He didn't bother to respond, instead he grabbed his suitcase and walked off into the building.
A second limo parked behind his, but by the time he went inside the building he didn't realize May was in it, she had stepped out with her own luggage and smiled when she saw Azalea, "May, perfect timing, you're flight will be leaving shortly".
"Thank you for everything Azalea, hopefully i can return and have forgotten about everything".
"Don't thank me dear, i just feel like somehow i had to do with this whole disaster, i'm so terrible sorry". She frowned, May shook her head.
"It's not your fault, please don't feel that way". She hugged her, but Azalea had a somewhat conscious face, "What's wrong"?
"Well it's just…..Drew heard that you were leaving, and he wanted me to give you this letter, but i don't want you to get hurt if it's anything to hurtful for you". she took out an envelope, the brunette took it and opened it up, reading the paper.
Dear May,
So i heard you decided to leave, i didn't think you would give up on me that easily, after everything we have been through, but what can i say, you were the one who abandoned me, you made me feel alone, you blame me for having kissed a girl but how do i know you weren't fooling around with other guys while you were pretending to ignore me, you said your were pregnant but how would i know if it was mine, what if it was somebody elses, you were the one who broke this relationship, you were the one who destroyed everything, i guess i also had part in this i admit that, but hey, maybe that was just how it was supposed to be, fate just saw that we weren't meant for each other, anyways, i heard from Azalea that you got rid of it, i'm glad, that way if it was mine, both our lives wouldn't be ruined, i hope you enjoy your vacation or wherever you're going, my feelings for you will remain the same, however i don't think we will ever be able to mend what was broken, so please just do what i will be trying to do, forget about us, erase each other from our memories and lives, goodbye, May.
Best of wishes,
Drew
Tears were soaking through the letter, she closed her eyes to stop them then crumpled the paper, "I have to go…...goodbye Azalea, thank you for everything". She grabbed her bag and took off into the building.
The woman chuckled as she watched May shield her face from the people, "That's right….both of you need to erase each other…..for good". she got back inside the car and drove off.
She stopped in the middle of the building, weeping as lowly as she could, "Drew….you idiot".
She wiped her nose and looked to the side as she saw something green, Drew, he looked over at her and seemed just as surprised, but his expression quickly changed, he turned his back and walked the opposite way, entering through one of the gates for his plane.
"Drew…."
(Present May and Drew)
She didn't know where she was now, but she was glad she was away from him, his presence was nowhere in sight and his voice was nowhere to be heard, she sighed of relief and stood by the wall, catching her breath.
"Surprise!" She fell to the ground after being startled by Misty and Ash's sudden appearance, they were with Dahla and all of them seemed to be carrying a bunch of shopping bags.
"Misty? Ash? Mrs. ketchum? it's been a while, you still look as pretty as ever Delia". she smiled as they returned the look, they helped her on her feet.
The older woman squealed happily as she hugged the brunette into a tight embrace, "Oh my! May thank you! and oh dear you kids just get older by the minute i forgot how small you all were back then! Oooohhh May! I missed you so much! you were the only one who used to eat my new food experiments! even Ash! My own son who would eat his own arm if it were smothered in sauce wouldn't eat my creations!" She pouted then angrily shifted her eyes at Ash who looked away on purpose whistling.
"How can i forget your food creations Mrs. Ketchum, they were very delicious"! she laughed then patted her stomach.
"Well when you put it that way! I'll let you try my new pineapple onion sauce smothered onto ribs!" Ash gagged and Misty turned green, May however seemed delighted and was even gleaming, they both held hands and smiled towards one another as if they had just won the lottery.
She hugged May once again and began crying hysterically, "Why! oh why couldn't i have been blessed with a daughter like you! I know! you and Ash can get married!" she placed her beside Ash who stiffened and began sweating nervously, the woman began rubbing her chin looking unsure now.
"No no, this won't do, I still like Misty as my Ash's bride, no offense sweety". Misty blushed with Ash, they looked at different directions causing the brunette to give a sly smile.
Her smile was gone when Delia hugged her yet again, "Oh but i want to bring you home! I know! I'll just adopt you! Excellent! Ash sweetie now you can have a sister!" Her smile seemed to remain wide while the rest had different expressions.
"I do have a family…..Mrs. Ketchum". May chuckled nervously, a dark and gloomy atmosphere grew over Ash's mom.
They ignored it with Ash speaking, "So what are you doing out here by yourself"?
She rubbed her neck unsurely, "Just um...trying to hide from Drew, and you"?
"Mom's giving Misty a complete makeover, so why are you hiding from Drew"? they both looked at her curiously.
She ignored it however and smiled excitingly, "Wow! A makeover! Can i help"?!
Misty wrapped her arm around the brunette, "Don't change the subject, what happened between you two"?
She pulled away from the redhead, "Nothing...nothing happened".
"May!" They looked up at the sky but nothing, "May"! they looked around again, it was drew's voice loud and clear but he was nowhere to be seen.
" Is he speaking through a mic?" they continued looking around.
"May! if you're hearing this now please come to the center of 5th avenue"!
"Forget about it!" She tried to run off but was quickly held back by both Misty and Ash who were grinning to each other deviously, "what are you guys doing?!" she tried to make a run for it but they dragged her off.
"Come one mom!" Ash charged forward with Misty, Delia followed along slumping forward in a gloomy manner.
They dragged her onto the next street over which was insanely packed, they squeezed through to the front and saw Drew standing in the center, he held a mic in his hand and lit up when he saw May.
"Delivery"! Ash and Misty winked.
"May…..i lost you and ruined the relationship we had years ago, but today i realized that it's never too late to try to fix what was broken, i can't lose you again".
(Two is better than one by Boys like Girls ft. Taylor swift)
Drew: I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, hey
You know this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
Misty and Ash looked at one another then smirked at May as she quickly became entranced with Drew's voice, they shoved her over in front with him, he held the mic in between them, she looked back at Misty and Ash, they gave her a thumbs up, she looked up at Drew and neared close to the mic.
May and Drew: So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
May: I remember every look upon your face
Drew: he way you roll your eyes, the way you say
You make it hard for breathing
The entire crowd began swaying to the music, Ash and Misty fist bumped with each other then looked at Delia who had recovered from her gloomy state only to watch the two singers so happily.
May and Drew: 'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
He grabbed her hand and held it tight for it to not hurt her, she didn't pull it away but instead looked down at it and then at him, there eyes couldn't have been more connected at the moment, Misty nudged Ash and pointed over to the other side of the crowd where they noticed Paul and Dawn coming in, the bluenette swayed to it while Paul seemed unaffected by the emotional scene, he did however look down at the bluenette for a while, the same smirk appeared on Misty and Ash's faces again.
Drew: I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, hey
May and Drew: Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking, ooh
I can't live without you
'Cause baby, two
Is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I figured out with all that's said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one
He couldn't stop himself and kissed her, the crowd clapped continuously and they even wooed for them, Dawn squealed for them causing Paul to cringe, but the moment was short lived when she pulled herself away from the kiss and slapped him while releasing her hand from his.
The crowd gasped and began whispering amongst themselves, Misty frowned while Ash shook his head, Delia started crying while Dawn held both her hands over her mouth, Paul looked a bit surprised but not as much as Drew.
He could see the pain in her eyes as they watered up, her expression felt as if she was holding back more than she should, "Why? why are you doing this to me right now?! you can't just sing to me then kiss me and expect me to forget everything that happened, it's not that easy". She ran away and into the crowd, he dropped the mic and went after her causing Dawn, Misty and Ash to run after them, they were stopped by both Paul and Delia though.
He grabbed Dawn's arm and held his arm in front of the red head and raven haired teens to stop them from going further, "Don't, this has to be settled between those two only, it's best not to interfere".
They all looked at one another and frowned, Dawn looked at Paul who sighed, "It's their business, don't stick your nose in it, besides, we should be enjoying the rest of the day".
"Paul's right". repeated Delia, inching closer to Paul and then hugging both him and Dawn.
"Ohhhhhh! i haven't seen you two in years either! My god Paul! you look so handsome! and Dawn! So pretty!" She began blabbering over again, this time not releasing her grip on both teens.
"May! May please stop!" he kept shouting out to her but she wouldn't let up, her speed only increased.
He sped up as well, "May! Don't leave me again….Please…..Stop" she finally stopped, he stopped just behind her catching his breath.
"May…...please don't run away again, listen to what i have to say". she turned back to reveal her weeping face, "what is there to say…" she mumbled.
He walked up to her and grabbed her hands, "I can't let this happen again, i don't want you to leave again, i won't let it happen, i just won't"!
"You're the one who left me!" she pushed him away, angrily staring at the green haired boy now.
"Only because you left me first". his face darkened.
"Drew you ran away when i told you i was pregnant that day i-". his jaw dropped.
"Wait…...you were pregnant"?
