Oh yeah! Chapter 10! Rift.
May: Yay new chapter.
Paul: No, I'm in it.
Dawn: With me!
Paul: Even worse.
Ash: Dude I would run in 3
Drew: 2
Gary: 1
Dawn: PAUL!!!!
Leaf: Oh Dear,
Misty: SurferGurl14 doesn't own Pokemon.
Me: Chapter 10: Rift. Ikarishipping! The Ikarishipping people are going to think this chapter is sweet and sad. Paul is kind of OOC.
Paul turned in his bed. After Gary catching him coming from Dawn's bedroom, he couldn't sleep. He had to choose.
You know what's at stake and what you must be willing to lose.
Was he willing? Of course not.
"God, I'm such an ass," Paul muttered. He looked at his clock. 6:00. Might as well get ready for school.
(DAWN POV)
"Since Paul's and Dawn's parts aren't in the book we are going to start with them and one more thing, we changed something. The songs for Georgiana and Joe have been changed from Complicated by Avril Lavine to According To You by Orianthi and Naturally by Selena Gomez have been changed to Need You Now by Lady Antebellum," explained Rowan.
Paul and I walked onto the stage.
"Try page 103 Scene 3." Rowan threw us scripts.
I took in a breath and put on a mask of Georgiana's disappointment and suffering.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me? You're messing with my heart and mind again. My heart has a memory just like my mind and it's already experienced this memory a time too much!"
Paul refused to look at me. "Georgiana, I don't like you. How much must I say it? I put up with you because you are Darcy's sister and I never thought that the feelings you had were real."
Georgiana was angry now. I began to shout, "Liar! Why would you tell me that you loved with me if I'm just a stupid girl you put up with?" I honestly think my shouting was so Paul would look at me.
"I don't know who you think you are trying to make me part of your romantic fantasies. Sorry Georgiana. "
Then Joe turned and walked away from a broken Georgiana, regretting his betrayal of not only Georgiana but his own feelings as well.
Poor Georgiana.
"We will work on this more tomorrow but for the rest of today's practice I want to work on Mr. Collins and Charlotte Lucas," Rowan said ushering me and Paul out the door.
I kind of liked that the practices were private, only the people that were practicing had to be there.
Paul began to walk away.
"Hey!" I called running after him.
Paul stiffened, "What?"
I recoiled, "Nothing. Just wanted to talk."
"Well I don't want to talk to you troublesome girl."
After that Paul walked faster and disappeared into his house. I was going to give him an earful tonight.
It was one and Paul should have been here by now. What the hell is going on? I walked over to my balcony and Paul's window was closed and his lights were on.
I caught up with Paul on our way to school.
"So where were you last night?"
He sighed, "Look stupid girl. I'm not doing that with you anymore."
I was taken aback, "Why?"
"Why? Are you that much of a whore?"
Are you that much of a whore.
Whore. How dare he call me a whore!!! Without thinking I smacked Paul across the face.
"I hate you!" I spat before walking faster to school.
God! How dare he? Call me a whore. I'm not a whore. Well you know what? Screw him.
I stomped my way to lunch. "Paul is such a jerk."
Misty scoffed, "You just noticed?"
Leaf looked at me, "He really pissed you off, didn't he?"
"Yes," I said shoving pasta into my mouth.
Today our table consisted of Misty, Melody, Zoey, May, Leaf, Kenny, James and your truly. For once the guys weren't here. They were at their usual table. I noticed some other guys that are in the play coming toward us. Rudy was a nice guy that was playing my other lover, Davis Willingham. Barry was a nice guy who had a crush on Melody, he was the narrator. This guy Sho was always flirting with Misty, he was playing Wickham's friend. And of course Brendan playing Mr. Collins.
"Hey ladies," Sho said casting an eye toward Misty.
Melody laughed, "Hey guys. Take a seat."
The guys sat down. Sho, next to Misty, Barry, next to Melody, Brendan next to May, and Rudy, next to me.
See, May didn't really hate Brendan like she acted when she was around Drew. They were actually becoming friends now that Brendan started going out with some girl named Ariel, who was playing Charlotte Lucas in the play.
Melody and Barry were flirting in their little pair. Great. Now we were going to have 3 moronic couples in our group. I mean I'm happy for them but it sucks for the rest of us, especially Misty. She's forgiven Ash but he hasn't talked to her besides acting in the play.
James was explaining how bad Rowan yelled at him at practice. We all started laughing so loud that all the other tables started looking at us. Like the guys. Ha.
I know Gary was probably crushing some sort of object. Ash was probably sad that Misty was laughing with some other guy. Drew was probably pissed that May was hanging with Brendan. And Paul of course doesn't care about me because I'm a stupid, troublesome whore.
Well I don't care what he thinks. He's the loser for losing me.
Rudy tapped me out of my thoughts. "Hey Dawn, I need help with my lines. Could you like help me? I'm asking since all my lines are with you."
I read his mind. 'I hope Dawn says yes or Rowan's going to yell at me ten times worse than he yelled at James.'
I smiled. Rudy is a sweet guy. He's not planning anything. "Sure."
His face brightened. "For real? That's amazing because Rowan was going to chop my head off if I couldn't get my lines."
I waved my hand, "No problem. Want to practice after school at my place?"
"Sure. Thanks Dawn."
I smiled and gave him a hug. And we walked to our third class together. Usually I walked with Paul but I guess he's going to have to walk by himself.
"Oh hey Dawn want me to grab those books?"
Rudy wanted to carry my books. I tipped my head.
He shrugged, "They look heavy."
I handed them to him, "Thanks."
We were early and the door was locked. So we started talking to James, May, Sho and Misty.
I saw Ash and Paul walking toward the class and they watched us as we were forced to wait outside.
So at that moment Conway decided to walk by us. Conway is kind of like this nerd who is super creepy and likes me.
I nudged Rudy. "Quick! Put your arm around me."
Rudy saw Conway and put his arm around me like a boyfriend would do to a girlfriend.
Conway stopped to talk to me. Usually he was too scared of Paul to even try to talk to me.
"So Dawn," he said extremely loud," I see you and Paul are no longer an item." Everyone was staring at me.
It took me a few seconds to register what he said. "What!" I screamed," I was never going out with Paul!"
Everyone looked back at Conway. "It seemed like you two were very close."
At that moment, Paul decided to intercede. "Look nerd, what goes on between me and that girl is our business and there is nothing going on between us. I don't care who she dates or what she does. I don't even care about her."
Then Joe turned and walked away from a broken Georgiana, regretting his betrayal of not only Georgiana but his own feelings as well.
I vaguely felt Misty grab my hand. My face turned to stone and our eyes locked and we just stared at each other. His eyes looked pained. I tried to read his mind. It was extremely hard to understand but I was able to make out one bit of his thoughts.
'I'm sorry.'
Suddenly I felt a hole in my heart. I closed my eyes to stop them from watering. Rudy immediately enclosed me in a hug and when I barely opened my eyes, I saw that Paul had retreated to where he was originally standing with Ash. His lip was curled into a snarl at Rudy.
Just then our teacher arrived to open the door and save me from any interrogation from the passing bystanders.
Today at rehearsals, we were practicing the part where Joe denies Georgiana and Davis starts to fall in love with her. He asks her out but she needs to think. Then Georgiana and Lydia go to a bar with Jane and Elizabeth where they see Darcy, Bingley and Joe. They also see Davis and Wickham sitting at another table. Elizabeth goes to flirt with Wickham but Lydia is trying to stop it. So Georgiana sings According to You to distract Jane and Elizabeth.
So Paul, Drew and Ash sat at a table. Then Gary and Rudy sat at another. May, Misty, Leaf and I enter the bar.
"Oh no!" May exclaimed, "That Darcy is here! Georgiana, how could you not tell me?"
"I'm sorry Elizabeth. It completely passed my mind that he would be here. I thought he was going to the gentleman's bar."
Misty looked over at Ash, "But at least he brought Mr. Bingley with him!"
Drew turned and stood up and walked to us with Ash. "Georgiana! Why are you here?"
I batted my eyes, "I just came with Lydia, Jane and Elizabeth."
Drew attention immediately turned to May, "Miss Elizabeth, please come sit with us at our table."
Ash took Misty's hand and led her and Leaf to their table. We all sat down when Leaf noticed Gary, "Oh! Mr. Wickham is here!"
May looked over, "Mr. Wickham?" She turned to Drew. "Please excuse me for a moment to talk to one of my friends." May immediately went to Gary's table.
Leaf became angry, "How dare she? Wickham is my boyfriend!"
I scoffed, "Your boyfriend? Please Lydia, don't be ridiculous."
The bartender, Sho, called, "Anyone who would like to perform please come to the stage!"
Leaf whispered to me, "Georgiana, please perform so it may distract Elizabeth and Jane while I go to meet Wickham."
"Okay, Lydia but be careful."
As I walked up to the performing stage I saw Rudy lifting his wine glass up a little while keeping his eyes on me.
Sho called, "Please welcome Georgiana Darcy!"
I started to sing.

I walked off the stage. And Rudy immediately came up to the table that seated me, Drew, Ash, Paul, May and Misty.
"That was a wonderful performance Georgiana."
"Thank you Davis."
"Would you like to dance?"
Drew stood up, "No she would not."
I looked firmly at Drew, "Yes I would."
Paul stood and took my hand, like when you take the hand of someone you don't know, "I will be dancing with Georgiana."
I stunned began to walk to the dance floor with Paul.
Back at the table, May looked at Misty, "Where is Lydia?"
Ash set down his drink, "I do believe she said something about meeting Mr. Wickham."
The scene ended with Misty and May looking at each other and saying at the exact same time, "Mr. Wickham?"
Rowan smiled, "Brilliant, tomorrow we will practice the first meeting between Jane Bennett and Charles Bingley so Ash and Misty, you two have to be here tomorrow."
Way to ruin Misty's Wednesday.
I immediately took my hands from Paul's and walked to grab my stuff and walked home with the girls and Rudy. I pulled my hair into a bun and quickly put on a pair of sweatpants and a tank top and ran to the front porch where Rudy was waiting.
(Third Person POV)
Drew led May into a café and they were seated. Drew took out his script and began to start where Darcy and Elizabeth were arguing about whether poems or dancing were better ways of expressing love.
"Poems express the feelings that one may be too shy to admit." Drew looked at May.
"But that is being a coward. A man who is truly in love must look into the eyes of the woman he loves while telling her."
"So what do think is a good way of expressing love?"
"Dancing, even if one's partner is barely tolerable."
May laughed, "Elizabeth sure told him."
Drew swallowed, "So if you don't mind me asking, what were you doing hanging with Brendan at lunch?"
"Oh, me and him are friends. He got over me and asked out Ariel."
"He's not a good guy. You might start to like him."
"What's wrong with that?"
"May, just stay away from him."
May's eyes glowered. "Who do you think you are telling me to stay away from?"
Drew began to reply but stopped himself.
The waiter, a guy named Harley from their school, came up them, "Can I get you guys some dessert?"
May was still glaring at Drew, "I'm out of here!"
Drew looked furious, "Fine, go!"
Harley looked after her, "Oh dear, did she not like the food?"
(DAWN POV)
We practiced out lines for about an hour and a half when Rudy felt confident to practice on his own.
As I waved Rudy goodbye, Paul appeared leaning against the handlebar of the steps on my front porch.
"What was that all about," he said, shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Rudy needed help with his lines. And besides I thought you didn't care about me," I said walking in the house and slamming the front door on him.
I walked up to my room and sat in my chair on my balcony and stared up at the stars. My I-pod turned to the song, Need You Now, which was the ending song for Georgiana and Joe.
I thought about everything that happened ever since we moved her. Then I saw my pink camera sitting on my table and looked through the pictures.
Me, Misty, May and Leaf.
Me, Misty, May, Leaf, Melody and Zoey.
Zoey and Kenny.
Leaf and James.
Leaf and Gary.
Ash, Drew, Paul and Gary.
Rudy, Sho, Brendan and Barry.
Barry and Melody.
May and Drew.
I began to tear up at the pictures of Ash and Misty.
Then I got to the pictures of me and Paul.
I dropped my camera and just cried for everything that happened.
(Third Person POV)
Paul stood at his window, watching Dawn cry.
Suddenly there were hands on his shoulder. Paul turned and saw Ash, Drew and Gary.
"I'm a monster," Paul said.
"We all are," Drew hung his head.
Paul turned back to his window and saw Dawn was gone and her lights were off.
After the guys left his room, Paul turned a heart-shaped locket in his hand over and over.
At two o'clock Paul jumped from his window to Dawn's balcony and slowly opened the doors. Dawn was sleeping. He laid the locket by her bag and came up to her sleeping form.
His eyes shone with regret. He quietly kissed Dawn's forehead.
"I'm sorry Dawn."
AW! That was so sad. :(. Dawn was able to read a little of Paul's mind! What could that mean??
Stay tuned for Chapter 11: Tale of Tragic Love. Pokeshipping.
Ash has been avoiding Misty for a while and Misty wants to tell him it's okay.
Misty pulled Ash back, "You are going to listen to me!"
In the B-story, Dawn tries to discover how she was able to read Paul's mind. Were they not meant to be? And she tries to find the truth about her locket.
Review if you want chapter 11. And the next couple of chapters are really good!
THANK YA!
