Chapter eleven

"They can't be…"

Three words that seem not to fade from my mind. I couldn't sleep very well last night.

"But May I do like Misty it's just I had no idea why I kissed you" Ash said as he looked away from my eyes.

"He…he…he kissed me" I said as I was still in s a shocked state.

Then why did he kiss me then that night? Why did he look at my like that? Both Drew and Ash was looking and acting weird. So weird that I can't even know why they are acting like this. I look at the scoreboard. Showing me that I am next in just a hour. I have just beat Drew and now I am against Soledad. I look to my left and I see the rain drops colliding into the window. Then in the corner of my eye I saw Drew walking towards me. I stopped looking at the scoreboard and walk over to Drew.

"Hey Drew!" I greeted as I walked towards him.
"Hi May" Drew greeted me back.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked
"I'm here to wish you some good luck" Drew said

And out of nowhere Drew gave me an unexpected kiss on the lips. He wrapped his arms around me so I couldn't get out of his grasp. He was hugging me so tight that I had to put my arms on his shoulder so my arms wouldn't get hurt. Now we looked like we were a lovely dovey couple making out before the grand final. Then I heard somebody walking into the back stage. I opened my eyes and shifted them towards the door. It was Ash. He had a shocked reaction on his face. Even Drew stopped to look. Ash stepped a few steps backwards towards the door. Drew's grip was a little less tight and I was able to push Drew away from me.

"Ash!" I called out as I started to run towards him.
"Get away from me" Ash called out as he ran out of my room.
"Ash!" I called out as I followed him out of my room.

But before I could do that Drew grabbed my hand by behind and dragged my towards him. When I turned around I didn't think twice to slap him in the face. With that slap Drew's grip on my hand loosen and I was able to chase after Ash.

I couldn't believe it. those nightmares I try to avoid are coming to haunt me in real life. I ran out of my room and chased. I ran down the hallway but Ash was no where to be found. Then I ran outside in the rain. I felt the tiny rain drops falling down on my whole body.

"Ash!" I called out in the rain. "Where are you"
"I'm here" Ash said as he walked behind me.
"Ash" I said. "About what you saw…"
"Don't worry about that" Ash said as he looked away from my eyes. "I'm fine"
"Your lying" I told him as I grabbed his hand. "Your not okay"
"Just leave me alone" Ash replied as he pull his hand from my grasp and started to walk away from me.

I watched him slowly walking away from me. I couldn't help in anymore. I couldn't hold it anymore. If I didn't do it now I might not have another chance.

"Ash!" I called out in the rain. "I love you!" I called from the bottom of my lungs.

Does three simply words stopped Ash completely. He stood right in front of the doors. He turned his head to face me. But it didn't last long. After his look he walked into the building. Leaving me in the rain. All wet, All alone and confused. My legs collapsed and I fell onto the wet mud. I had my hand on my heart.

"I finally said it" I told myself.

I was glad to finally say that I liked Ash but there was another problem. I could feel my heart telling me that Ash doesn't feel the same way. I wanted not to believe it.

"Ash is in love with someone else May" My conscience told me.
"That's not true!" I yelled.
"That's life May. You like it or not you just have to accept it" My conscience told my once again. "Your in love with someone that will never love you"
"No…" I said in a low tone as tears started to come out of my eyes. "That's not true" I cried as I covered my face with my hands.

Then I heard someone coming towards my. Their footsteps coming closer to me. I took off my hands from my face and my eyes saw it was Drew. Drew knelt down to me and wrapped his arms around me. I couldn't help but to cry in his arms.

I liked it or not I had to accept it. Ash will never love me.

A hour after my confrontation with Ash it was time for my battle with Soledad. I did everything I could. I used my heart and soul but I didn't win. I lost again. I looked up at the stands and I saw Brock, Dawn but no Ash.

"If you came here for my Sinnoh championships I should go to the Johto grand festival"

Does words, meant so much to me. It gave me so much confidence. Confidence to win at this year's Johto grand festival. I was filled with joy that Ash was coming. I waved to my fans in the seats and walked off the battle area and walked into the back stage.

As I walked down to my room I saw Ash and his Pikachu in the main room of the grand festival. It was the room where you first enter the grand festival. Ash was sitting down on the chair with his head hiding behind his arms. His head was laying down on his knees. I hid behind a tall plant and tried not to make any sudden movement.

"Pikachu" Ash mumbled.
"Pika pi?" Ash's furry companion asked.
"I don't know why I'm acting like this to May" Ash told Pikachu. "When I saw her kissing Drew I felt anger going though my veins"
"Pikachu?" Pikachu asked.
"I don't know" Ash said. "If I can see her again. Not what after I saw"

I stopped hiding behind the plant and walked over to Ash.

"It's okay if you don't want to see me again Ash" I told him. "I understand"

Ash looked up at me. Then he quickly took his eyes away from me and got up from his seat. Pikachu jumped on Ash's shoulder and walked right past me. Not saying a single word.

"He really hates me doesn't he?" I asked myself.
"What do you think?" My conscience replied.

I continued to walk to my room. When I got there I opened the door. To my surprise it was unlocked. I pushed the door slowly. When the door was fully opened I saw something on the table. I walked over to the table and grabbed the item into my hands. It was wrapped by a white cloth. Then I slowly dragged the white cloth away from the item. I soon saw it was the half pink contest ribbon I won back with Ash in Kanto. This ribbon was Ash's other half. I looked at the table and I saw a note. I dropped the ribbon on the table and read the note.

I'm sorry
I have to do this
I need to do this
If I want to move on
I'm sorry
Thanks for the great memorise you gave me
I will never forget them
And goodbye
May
From Ash

"Goodbye?" I told myself. "No…this can't be happening"

It was real. What was happening was real. What I felt was worse than any nightmare I had ever have. Ash wanted to forget me, for good. I grabbed the ribbon from the table. This ribbon in my hands was the only thing that made him remind of me. This ribbon was the only thing that made us both remind us of the great times we had together and the friendship we had since Hoenn and up to now. I put the ribbon against my heart. Then out of nowhere I started to cry. Then memories started to flood back into my mind.

"What was that for?" I asked.
"I just want to say something to you" Ash told me.
"What is it?" I asked as I walked closer to his body.
"This" Ash said as on the cheek which I was not expecting from someone who was super dense at love. I immediately blushed red as a slugma. "Thanks for a great day" Ash smiled at me. "You really made me forgot all my problems today"
"That's okay" I replied as I gave Ash a kiss on the cheek back and made my best friend blush. "I had a great day as well" I smiled. "Now lets head back and see the others okay?"
"S-S-Sure thing May" Ash replied with a huge red blush across his face. Ash found it hard when a kisses him.

Then Ash grabbed my hand by behind and dragged me towards his body. Then he put his arms around me. I felt my heart beat fast and felt my face blush bright red. Then out of nowhere on the lips. His grip was so tight around my arms I had to release them and put my arms on his shoulder. It felt like we kissed forever but time didn't stop for us both and the kiss only lasted a few minutes.

"Just come with me" I said as I grabbed his hand. "We will be back before the rest will know" I winked.
"Umm okay then" Ash replied as he got off the bed holding my hand.

"Thanks Ash" I told myself. "For the memories you gave me" I said as I grabbed my other half of the ribbon. "But if I don't do this I will never get over my feelings for you" I said as I got the white cloth from the floor. "Goodbye" I said as I wrapped the ribbons in the white cloth. "It was always a pleasure knowing you"

Then I got my bag and put the ribbon at the bottom of my bag. And I used my other items to cover the ribbon. Then I put my bag over my shoulders. Then I walked over my room without looking back. When I was about to leave the grand festival I saw my rivals and my friends waiting at the door. Even Ash was there.

"Hey May?" Dawn asked as she walked over to me. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine" I told Dawn. Trying to put a smile on her to make her convinced that I was fine even I wasn't.
"Well where are you heading now?" Brock asked me.
"I'm going back to Petalburg for the meanwhile" I replied.

Then I looked at Ash. He was against the wall with his arms crossed the he was looking away from me.

"Let's go" Ash said as he started to walk off outside.
"Already?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah" Ash replied to Dawn.
"Are you okay Ash?" Brock asked.
"I'm…fine" Ash replied as he walked out of the grand festival completely.
"Well bye May" Dawn waved at me as she chased after Ash with Brock following.

And that was it. They were gone. Ash was gone. He was out of my life for good.

"Well until next time" Harley said to me.
"Until then" I replied.
"Hope we get to fight each other again" Soledad told me.
"I hope we do"

Harley and Soledad left the building leaving Drew and me alone. I didn't feel like talking to him. Drew was right behind me. I had my back facing him.

"May?" Drew asked me.
"Don't take another step closer" I told him. "Because of you my life is over"
"What do you mean?" Drew asked.
"What I mean is that Ash is out of my life for good!" I yelled as I turned to face him.
"Wait.. You mean that…"
"I mean Drew is that I don't love you!" I yelled. "I'm in love with Ash!"

I could see it in Drew's eyes that he didn't like what I said. We stood a few meters away from each other. Looking at each other without saying a single word. I couldn't stand near him anymore and walked away from him. Then Drew said something I didn't expect from him.

"May…before you go I would like to tell you something" Drew told me as he walked over to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "I love you"

I was shocked to hear those words. I looked over to Drew's direction.

"I'm sorry Drew but I can't repay your love for me" I said as I put my hand on his cheek as I kissed him on the lips.
"Please stop loving me because I will never love you" I said as I broke our kiss. "Goodbye Drew"

Then I left Drew alone in the grand festival without looking back. I walked over to the port. I was glad that I was going home. I decided to take a break from contests and maybe help dad near the gym so I can refresh my mind. Forget what happened here in Johto and hopefully erase my feelings for Ash. When I got to the port I looked up at the huge cruise ship.

"Home we go"
