Now on with the chapter! :D
Distraction
Brock's Pov.
My thoughts were interrupted by someone entering the Pokemon centre, and it was the last person I would have guess I would see.
Then I saw her tear streaked face, and I knew that this nightmare would just never end.
Ash's Pov.
What was Brock thinking? How could he expect me to wait here? Did he actually want Kenny to find her?
I was pacing in our room again, I just can't sit still anymore, especially with Dawn not here. It made me unhappy, it was always her smiling face that got me to relax.
I was annoyed at Brock, he just didn't understand! I want to find her, I need to. But it looked like Brock wanted the opposite. Almost like he was hiding something. But he wouldn't do that, we've been best friends for ages. He would never lie to me. That would be unlike him.
I still don't know where Dawn went. She wouldn't go to another region, would she? That was a ridiculous thought, I haven't even searched Sinnoh yet. I'm sure I will find her. But it was difficult to cope. I wanted her in my arms, I wanted to hear her voice, to touch her smooth skin. But that seemed like miles away. It was just so hard to stop thinking about her. Every second since she went, I've been pleading for her return. For her to run into my arms, and tell me she still loves me. How I wished that would happen at this moment.
I sighed. Surely Brock wanted to help me, so why was he acting different?
There was a knock on the door and Brock came in, along with...
"You!" I said angrily. Glaring at May. Why did she come back? Did she want to cause more problems?
"I'm so sorry Ash," She sniffed and wiped her eyes, which were probably fake tears. "If you would only let me explai-"
"Explain what?!" I shouted, "There's nothing to explain! I know what you did, and yet you came here expecting me to forgive you?" yeah right, I added in my head. After all the things she's done this past week and a half, she was expecting me to be fooled by her apology? That was never going to happen, not while Dawn's not here.
"Ash, just let her speak," Brock butted in. I groaned and rolled my eyes.
"Fine," I said, I watched her as she bowed her head.
"I'm so sorry Ash, for all the things me, Misty and Paul had done. But I have to be honest..." She said sadly, "I don't love you in that way," she looked up to face my confused expression.
If she didn't love me, then why was she doing this to me and Dawn? It didn't make sense. I didn't get it. Why would she do that in the first place?
"I only wanted to get Drew's attention," She answered my confused look, "He's been flirting with this girl, and I only wanted to make him jealous." She looked down again.
"So you were going to use me then?" I asked angrily, my voice sounded weird this time, almost like I never believed her. But that was the point; did I believe her? I mean, I've always thought she liked Drew. But what was all this carry on?
"I was going to fill you in on it, until..." she sniffed sadly.
"Until...?," I insisted, I was eager to find out what she was going to say next. I watched her, I could see tears fall on the ground. Disappointment washed over me.
"Until I saw you with Dawn," There was silence. Brock shifted uncomfortably, I hardly noticed he was still there. May never looked up to see my expression, yet I didn't know what was expression was, I was to busy trying to figure out why she was acting this way. "I saw how close you two got," she said breaking the silence and my thoughts. "Misty told me you were dating Dawn, and I knew that you wouldn't help me. And then when I saw it for myself, I was jealous. I wanted me and Drew to be like that," my eyes widened. I suddenly got it. After all this time she was only wanting me to help her.
"May you could have just asked me," I replied sighing, I was looking at the carpet where I could see tear stains. "I know me and Dawn are dating, but I could have still helped you, but maybe in a different way," she looked up.
"It's fine now Ash, I know Drew doesn't like me, never will to be honest, but I just want to say that I am really sorry. I didn't mean to get carried away." I nodded in understanding.
"No problem," I smiled at her, she smiled back.
"Well, I probably should call my mum, I'm going back to Hoenn tomorrow," I nodded, and saw that Brock shifted uncomfortably again. What was with him?
We went to bed earlier that night, May was sleeping next door. Brock was snoring, but I couldn't get to sleep. I was to busy thinking of Dawn. It just wasn't right without her.
I sat up and sighed. Everything was quiet. It was only twenty five minutes to midnight. I would normally be asleep by now, but this had been the worst day of my life. No wonder I couldn't sleep.
I stood up, grabbed my jacket, and shoved a pair of jeans on. I tiptoed quietly out the room. There was no point just lying there, I had already been lying there for hours. My thoughts just wouldn't leave me, so I had to get some air. Even if that wouldn't help.
I walked out the Pokemon Centre, looking behind me in case anyone was following me. No one was up. The cool air greeted me as I walked towards the shoreline. The sea was calm, and no sound was being made.
It was...peaceful. But I wished Dawn was here to share the moment. I almost felt...lonely. There was no one there but me. It felt like the world had left me behind. Just took everyone else and dumbed me into a black hole with nothing to live for.
I could feel my heart lightly thumping in my chest. But it wasn't whole.
// the next day \\
"Bye May," I said to the brown haired coordinator. She smiled at me and Brock. She was in a happier mood than yesterday; She had called her mother, and told her she was going back to Hoenn, then after that her mum said that Drew was wondering where she went.
May was glad Drew had noticed she was gone. Maybe Drew was just trying to get her jealous.
"No worries, guys. I'll be back to visit sometime." She replied, smiling at our sad faces. Brock and I nodded.
"Of course," Brock said. He seemed...odd today. Almost like he was looking for something to happen? He was probably just looking for a girl to flirt with. He always forgets to leave Croagunk at the Pokemon Centre before though.
"Well I better be going," May announced, distracting me from my thoughts about the weird breeder.
"Good luck with Drew, May," I said waving. I was trying not to think about Dawn. But that was going to be a massive fail. I had already thought about her ten times today. Who wouldn't? But May could probably tell from looking at my face.
"Ash, you don't need to worry. You'll find Dawn." She guessed right. Am I that easy to read? Heck, my face is like an open book.
I nodded, showing that I was listening to her, even though half of her words went in one ear and came out the other.
"Tell me when you do," She said, walking backwards towards the ferry. But her words didn't matter to me. I was looking over at the people entering the ferry. You could say I had been distracted.
Distracted by the person that had blue hair...
Yeah, I'm not proud of this chapter =/ But I suppose it has meaning...I think x'D Sorry it was so short D=
