CHAPTER 14- The Secret Door Revealed

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you," the young girl began.

"What is it? Tell me what is on your mind," he said and took her hands in his.

"Drew I lo—"

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Drew's eyes shot open, his heart beating fast from the sudden sound of his alarm clock going off. He turned his head to the side. 6:10am the digital clock read in neon blue.

Slowly he sat up and turned the blasted thing off. Wiping the sleep from his eyes, he made his way to the bathroom to take a long bubble bath before school.

A relaxing hour later Drew exited his en suite and headed downstairs for breakfast. As usual, a wide spread of food was set on the table just for him.

"Good morning Drew! How are you this morning?"

"I'm fine. How are you Alexia?" Alexia was like his babysitter in some sense. She was the one who raised him since he was small. Ever since his mother became a work-aholic, Alexia had been the replacement.

Her pink hair was always tied in a neat bun, and Drew always found her dressed in one of those French maid outfits.

"Alexia, can I ask you something?" Drew began.

"Sure sweetie. What's troubling you?" The 24 year old replied and continued to polish the silverware.

"What would you do if…let's say…you had a boyfriend right…and they turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to you; or so you think. Then suddenly they turn out to be the worst thing 'cause they cheated on you, and yet you find yourself still head over heals for them…then one day…you see someone, who looks just like them; aside from little details…And then you find yourself in love with this person, but, because they remind you of the disaster from before, you just can't bring yourself to be with this person?" Alexia blinked. It took her a little while to process all of that.

"Well Drew…Just because someone may look like someone else on the outside, doesn't always mean they're the same on the inside." She said and stood up.

"So if you love this girl, don't let something like her looking like Cassidy get in the way of your feelings…" And with that she left. Drew felt himself blushing; how had Alexia known about that?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

May stared out her window. Thoughts ran through her mind like wildfire. However, what she thought of the most was how Drew had acted toward her the day before.

She honestly didn't want to go to school. But she had no choice, as her parents wouldn't allow her to stay at home without a legitimate reason. May sighed and left the house.

Slowly May walked down the street. A drop fell onto her nose causing her to look up. The sky roared warningly, and began to drizzle ever so slightly. May looked back down, closed her eyes, and prepared to get soaked.

But as the rain began to fall dramatically; none of it landed on her. Opening her eyes once more, she found that a large red umbrella was now hanging over her.

May turned around and jumped at the sight of Drew standing there.

"Dre—" She began but he cut her off with a passionate kiss. May was caught by surprise, but closed her eyes, returned the kiss and—

CLANG!!!

"OW!" May exclaimed and held her forehead; she had just walked into a stop sign.

Angry, and embarrassed, she walked around the stupid thing. May looked up and realized that it was in fact about to rain. And just like in her daydream; an umbrella appeared over her just as the rain began falling heavily.

As expect, she turned around to see Drew behind her.

"Drew?" She said; hoping that her daydream would come true. But alas, it didn't.

"What are you doing here?" May asked not making eye contact. Drew, instantly seeing this; gently held her chin, and turned her gaze to his.

"Well me n' Gomez were driving this way when I saw you walking. My little laptop told me it was about to hail, so I grabbed my umbrella, jumped out when the car stopped, and saved you from getting soaked." May blushed slightly.

"Besides…I wouldn't appreciate seeing you all drenched; especially if it makes your shirt stick to you like glue; not pretty."

May frowned slightly, but was grateful for his help.

"But…I thought you wanted me out of your life?" She asked now saddening her expression. Drew sighed.

"I know what I said…I didn't really mean it. Look, come to my mansion after school today ok? I'll explain everything there." He handed her the umbrella and got back into his car.

May watched as the Ferrari sped off towards the school. She gazed up, and the clouds disappeared. The sun shone brightly once more, and May smiled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The school bell rang at exactly 3:30pm. As the students pushed and shoved out the door, Drew calmly stood at the foot of the stairs for his angel. He hid his smile when he saw her miraculously appear.

May was a little surprised to see Drew waiting for her, but decided not to question his actions. Neither spoke; but it was as if they knew what each was thinking.

When May reached the end of the stairs, Drew took one look at her; neither a smile nor smirk upon his face, just a blank gaze. He turned around and walked away slowly.

Without thinking, May followed him to his car. Gomez, who was sitting in the driver's seat, gazed at them through the tinted windows; his face showing a great deal of confusion and curiosity.

Drew stopped in front of the car and opened the back door. As if on cue, May entered the car, and Drew followed soon after. Gomez greeted them both with just a simple 'afternoon Senior…Senorita'. Drew signaled Gomez to go, and greeted back with 'hey'. May in turn did the same.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Drew closed his room door behind May, he let out a small sigh. May sat down on the bed and Drew soon followed after.

"So, why weren't we talking on our way here?" She asked. Drew smirked.

"Well how should I know? I wasn't talking because you weren't," was his reply.

"But that's what I was doing!" May retorted. "But that doesn't really matter now. Why am I here in the first place?"

"Good question. Unfortunately I have no answer. I mean, you're the one who just randomly got into my car when I was just opening the door," Drew said and hid his devilish smirk.

May blushed furiously.

"But you're the one who said you wanted me to come over to your house after school! Also, I don't know where your mansion is, and even if I did, the guards at the gate would just think I'm some crazed fan girl trying to get in! Therefore they won't let me in, even though I'm well and truly not a CRAZED fan girl!"

Drew laughed slightly.

"Calm down May. I was only kidding. I knew you didn't know where I lived so that's why I was waiting at the edge of the stairs for you."

"I knew it…" May muttered to herself.

"Listen…About yesterday…I'm s—sorry. I don't know what got into me. I was in one hell of a state of depression. I meant nothing I said. I don't want you out of life! You're probably my only TRUE friend. The other girls…they—" May put her finger to his lips and shook her head.

"It's alright Drew…I forgive you…That's what friends are for, right?" Drew stared at her for a moment, then without realization, grabbed her in a hug.

May, completely caught by surprise, blushed, and stroked his back. Drew realized what he was doing and quickly let go.

"Um…you're welcome?" May said sheepishly and smiled. Drew smiled that smile. That smile May hadn't seen for a few months. That smile that was neither too big nor too small, but a perfect curve. A smile that showed a small proportion of his crystal white teeth. His eyes glistened with innocents, and seemed so energetic, so pure. But most of all; they showed hidden love.

"This smile…I show to no one, but you," Drew said.

This was one of the reasons May loved this boy. It was this smile that he hid from the world and only showed to her. The smile she called, 'The Drew Smile'. What made it special to her was that it was only shown to her, and it brought out the other side of Drew; the loving side. This, his beautiful smile, she wished he wouldn't hide. She thought that, if he perhaps shared his loving side and this smile with the world, he wouldn't be despised by so many boys. But on the other hand, she did enjoy the fact that this smile was for her and her alone.

"Well, now that that's over, I suppose I should go home." May said and got up. Although Drew, didn't want her to leave, not just yet. Therefore he gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down onto the bed.

May, now sitting back down, looked at Drew; confused.

"You don't have to go just yet. You can stay a little longer if you want." May smiled happily.

"Thanks Drew. Well, what should we do?"

"How about a movie?" Drew offered. May agreed. Drew put one of his big red velvet pillows against the headboard, and sat comfortably against it. May mirrored his actions but on his left side; where he would usually sleep.

Drew brought out the magic remote, pushed a button, and the TV screen made it's presents known.

"What are we watching?" May asked.

"Anything. We can watch any movie in the WORLD, in ANY language. Well, at least any language it's available in."

"Any movie? How's that possible?"

"Our satellite dish is connected to a special space satellite that sends a request to view a movie to the World Wide Movie studios. They then send an acceptance signal back along with the movie in the language requested."

"Oh ok."

Drew had let May decide on the choice of movie, and she had chosen, "Forbidden Love".

A/N: Forbidden Love is actually a story plot I made up. Copyright! It's about the devil's son and Prince of Hell, Felix (don't ask why that's his name), and the Princess of Angels, Sapphire, falling hopelessly in love. And if you think about it, that's probably as forbidden as it gets! Don't steal my idea! .

Halfway through the movie, May had felt a little drowsy; due to the fact she did some hardcore physical training in PE, earlier that day. And as expected, she fell fast asleep. But what she didn't expect was to unconsciously fall to one side, and end up landing on Drew's chest.

Drew's eyes widened when he realized what that bit of weight on his chest was.

He smiled. May looked so peaceful and content when she was asleep. Drew felt that he was in heaven. The girl of his dreams was asleep on his chest, and he had her all to himself. Carefully not trying to wake her up, he placed his hand around her waist and held her close.

In her sleep May smiled.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the hours passed, the movie had finished, and Drew and also fallen asleep. Now, he laid flat down on the bed. May was curled up against him with her head on his chest. Her left hand rested on his chest beside her, and her right hand around his neck. Drew's one arm was around her waist, and the other hand clenched her left hand.

Unbeknownst to the two, one of Drew's Mechabots happened to be activated. Mechabots were small little robots. They had a round head, round body, and round hands. The hands weren't connected to anything, but hovered along side the body. Same with the feet.

This little Mechabot, which had been Drew's father's creation, hovered over the two; recording what he saw.

Alpha was his name. He was the 1st of the Mechabots series. Among him were Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Theta, Sigma, and Omega. Although they all had the same design, each had a different colour and symbol on their back and forehead. Omega was the latest one to be created, and the most powerful.

After a few minutes, he quietly flew off. Although the sound of the door quietly closing, had woken up May. May let her eyes focus, and she took in her surroundings.

"Where…am I? It feels like I'm on a bed. I must be on a bed. Wait a second…I remember. I was watching a movie with Drew. I must've fell asleep. By the way, where is he?" May looked up, and her face went bright red.

Only then did she realize how the two were laying with each other. May squealed on the inside. Not only was she in the arms of her love, just imagine how jealous those fan girls would be!

Slowly she sat up and stretched. May decided to let Drew sleep, and go for a little self-tour.

"Hm…I think I'll go check out his closet again. It's really cool!" She thought to herself, carefully got off the bed, and quietly made her way into his closet.

She admired his clothes and his sense of fashion. It was in fact rather catching and not to complicated. Yet at the same time not to simplistic. As she walked all around, examining the clothes and feeling the fabric, something caught her attention.

Gazing in its general direction, she realized it was that secret door! And to top it off, it was left open! Drew must've been in there one time and forgot to lock it.

May couldn't help herself. She just HAD to go in there. And she'd make sure she'd come out before Drew woke up. Heck, she'd come out of the closet before he woke up.

Slowly she approached the open door. The blackness from within calling out to her. She took one step inside. Then another, and another. Once she had been completely engulfed by the darkness, she clicked the switch.

May's eyes widened at the sight before her.

There, in front of her, was a huge portrait of someone that looked JUST like her! Although their hair was coloured black, and their eyes were green. The frame, as May would've guessed, was made from gold, and had diamonds all around; Drew's favourite metal and gemstone.

May gazed all around the little closet sized room. All along the walls were small photographs of her; some of which contained Drew. And boy there were many; hundreds, maybe thousands.

There was a small lamp on the desk, accompanied by lots of paper, some writing utensils, and a laptop.

May pondered who this girl was, and better yet, why she looked like May!

"Who is she? Why does she look like me?! I guess it's true when people say there's one other person in the world that looks just like you…" May said out loud.

She approached the photos. There were so many it was shocking. As she walked pass them, she let her hand gently glaze across them. She stopped at one of Drew and her in their swimsuits at the beach. It looked like Drew was holding the camera.

The girl hand her arms around his neck, and was winking at the camera. Drew was winking as well, and had a big teeth-showing smirk. May frowned slightly.

"Who were you? What was Drew's relation to you?" May once again asked out loud. Suddenly, she heard a growl from behind her. May's heart began to race wildly as assumptions of what was behind her entered her mind.

Slowly she turned around, and stared at the creature. In turn; it glared at her with it's beady black eyes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 14 came a little, well, a lot earlier than expected! I'm glad it did. If anyone reads this story, I encourage you to PLEEEAAASE review. Oh and I'd like people to also please guess what the secret creature might be! When guessing please put "A ninja/karate (insert guess here)". Yes the creature can do karate, and is a ninja...it was my friends idea...I'll be REALLY surprised if anyone guesses right! Find out in the next chapter!

CHAPTER 15 - Time To Remember, Time To Forget
DUE DATE - 15th November 2006

:/CHANGED/:

Drew finds May in his secret room and is very upset with her. Although, being in love with her and all, he calms down. May asks who that girl on the wall is, and Drew goes into a depressed yet pissed mood. As heart aching as it is, he tells her the story about how he had met Cassidy. He tells her how he knew it love; not that puppy-love shit you see in College kids. This was genuine. But the story takes a turn when he starts telling her about the betrayal.

When Drew finishes, May is in tears and can't believe the kind of pain he was put through. But doesn't pain lead to happiness? May thinks so. Just as she's about to leave; Drew does the unthinkable. He tells May how he's madly in love with her, MORE than Cassidy, and finally; kisses her rather than her kissing him. But during the kiss, he stops and says goodbye...May wakes up in her room. She doesn't know what happened the day before, but all she remembers is who Cassidy is. Drew wakes up in his room and has also forgotten the kiss. Worst of all, both forget they're in love; now they're back to somewhat disliking each other...
