I can't believe you guys! As soon as the number of reviews until I next update thing is lifted, you go and drop the review rate! I mean, 3 reviews for one chapter???? Come on guys! Give me a break! You can do better than that! Or don't you like my story anymore? Gives sad face
REVIEW!!!!!!! Honestly… Anyway, yeah, don't blame me for all the anti-contestshipping and evilness of Ruby, because I mean fics that just go with the same old story lines are so boring! Though they can be great! Anyway, on with the story!
May glanced out of the corners of her eyes at Drew, whom at the same time looked, the two both blushed and let their hair flop over their eyes, careful not to attract any attention.
May began to get thirsty half way through the news conference, and also quite bored. She had finished several intricate doodles all over her notepaper and had nothing to do.
She suddenly saw Anna and Ruby mysteriously leave the room. Being unaware of what was happening, and thinking she could leave the room whenever she wanted to, she signalled to Drew showing she was going outside for a drink.
She hummed as she opened the door and stopped dead in her tracks.
A few metres in front of her lay Anna unconscious and Ruby hovering (A/N, this is not literally people! But more like kind of standing there?) above her.
May rushed to her side, and began frantically asking Ruby questions. Anna had become a close friend of Mays when Drew and May were still together, and May was anxious to know if she was okay.
Ruby stood there, shock written all over her face, sometimes a part of her body would twitch as if about to go help, but then she would step back.
I need to go and help May! This is all my fault! Ruby thought anxiously, her face momentarily showing concern on her face. But then her face twisted into a grimace, No you idiot! Let the people come! Then they will think that May did it! Ruby shook her head, as if trying to clear her head, but May did nothing wrong! I can't just dump the blame onto her! Her eyes suddenly flashed before returning to their normal state, You fool! Don't you want to continue your sister's dream? Do you want her to never be in peace because of your stupidity? May doesn't have any problems in her life does she? Blame her! Blame her! BLAME HER!
Ruby looked around the room in fright, scared of that voice ringing inside her head, but she knew that to fulfil her sister's dream, she would have to do some bad things!

As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions…
----------------------------------------------------------
People poured out of the room, cameras flashed, everyone was talking about the "accident".
"What happened to my wife?" Rodger clutched his wife's hand as he cursed the slow ambulance. His normally calm face was etched with worry and his eyes showed fear, fear for his wife, fear that she would not make it. "You will be alright dear!" He whispered into her ear.
"Who did this?" He cried to the people, his face contorted with rage, now that his worrying had got past. "I said, who did this!"
He shouted across the room, his voice booming with power. Everyone stood still. Suddenly, there was a movement in the crowd, and Ruby stepped out. "She did it!" She pointed an accusing finger at May and the crowd gasped. Drew stepped forwards, glaring at Ruby, "How dare you accuse May of such a thing?" He pushed her backwards and Ruby stumbled, her pretty face covered with hate, for whom nobody knew.
May still stood there gaping at Ruby, but Rodger had stood up, and in two strides cleared the distance between him and May.
Slap!
The sound echoed across the room. Mays eyes filled with tears as she held her hand up to her stinging cheek. Rodger glared at her, "Why did you do that? I used to think that you were just some commoner with no manners! But this!" He pointed at his unconscious wife, his finger quivering, "This is beyond anything that anyone could do! If she… If she doesn't make it, I hold you responsible!"
Tears fell from Mays eyes, eyes that were filled with hurt and sadness. More tears fell, each making a mark on the deep red carpet. May curled into a ball on the floor without making a sound, though the tears still came.
Drew's heart felt like it had been stabbed as each of those tears fell. He pushed his father away from May. "How dare you accuse May of such things? You don't know anything that happened! How dare you just listen to this…" He shooted Ruby a dirty glance, " This… b…foul creatures poisonous words! May is innocent, she would never harm mum! They were friends! Ruby is evil!" He crouched down next to May, pulling her into a hug, stroking her hair and wiping away her tears. "Don't cry May, it's alright, it's alright…" Rodger shot his son a glare before shouting to him, "I don't care, she is only a commoner, but Ruby is of high blood! You will marry her and you will like it!" He turned and marched away.
Cameras flashed but he just smashed their camera lens in. This new conference is over!"
----------------------------------------------------------
There was no one left in the room except May and Drew. Anna had been taken away to hospital and the news reporters had left.
May and Drew sat together, May curled up against Drew and he hugging her tightly.
May looked up though teary eyes. "Drew, is it really my fault that this happened? He is your father after all, I feel so bad to have broken you up…" Her words were broken off as Drew kissed her, and she closed her eyes and kissed back.
They were silent for a few minutes, before May broke off. "But Drew, I really didn't do it! I didn't!" More tears poured out of her eyes, but Drew only smiled sadly at May, " I know you didn't May, but everyone else does! We have to be strong! We will get through this, I promise! I loved you from the first time I met you, everything about you was loveable. I can't let you leave me like this, no I just won't let it happen!" Suddenly, the coin around Mays neck started glowing. May glanced at it, surprised.
You must stay strong, for if your will power fails, you will never be together!
A voice suddenly started talking, and then ended just as suddenly. May and Drew looked at each other, and May knew that she loved Drew with all her heart. But as she looked at Drew, she knew that maybe their love wasn't meant to be, and with that thought, she suddenly pushed away from Drew and ran away, tears streaming down her face. She had to find a way to stop their love entirely, or this would end up even worse.

Bing-bong. Number 502,you may now come to the information desk.
"is my wife going to be ok?"
"Who exactly is your wife?"
"Anna Andrews.
"There seems to be nothing wrong with your wife Mr. Andrews, though she may have forgotten some thing, she will be fine, but treat her carefully and let her get some exercise. She is in room 78." Rodger nodded, Anna was going to be fine! That was all that mattered! If she had forgotten some things, he was sure she would be able to remember them soon enough.
As he walked down the hall to Anna's room, he thought back to the news conference. Maybe he had been wrong? He thought back to his son's angry face, Mays tears, and he felt just the littlest bit guilty. Maybe he shouldn't have listened to Ruby so quickly, but he felt the urge to listen when she looked at him with those eyes, they made him feel weak, and his will break down. He shook his head, Anna was first priority right now! He stumbled into the room and smiled as he heard his wife's voice.
"Hello!" Her voice was weak but she smiled. Rodger rushed up and hugged her, "Thank goodness you're ok! Do you know who did this to you?" Though not wanting to push her, he was still anxious to know.
Anna looked at him, "Actually, I don't. I remember everything clearly, the news conference and everything. Then there is this blank and I can't seem to remember anything!" She shook her head sadly, "Maybe it will come up sometime!"
Rodger nodded at his wife, trying not to hide his disappointment at not knowing the real person behind this.
"Do you feel strong enough to get to the car? The doctor says that another patient needs this room!" Anna grinned, "Yeah, I think I will manage!" And with that, the two set off to the car.

4 days later…
Brendan had decided.
He knocked on Mays door anxiously, holding a huge bunch of flowers.
He nervously fingered the box in his pocket. Maybe he still had time to run back to his house before she came to the door. But before he could make any further actions, May opened the door.
"Oh, Brendan…" Brendan got down on one knee and pulling out the little box, he flicked it open and in there shone a diamond ring. May gasped. With shock? Happiness? May saw it only as a chance to break her love with Drew, there is no other way, she told herself over and over again, as she accepted and kissed Brendan.
So why was it that when Drew walked up the front path to her house and saw her with Brendan that her heart felt like an icicle had been stabbed through it?
Drews emerald eyes filled with tears as his hair flopped over his eyes. His worst nightmare, his only true love, marrying another man. He turned, walking slowly, before losing control and running, running from all the hurt, running from all the pain, Maybe this is for the best…And yet even though he thought that, he couldn't control the tears running streaming down his face.
