Hey guys! Sorry for not having updated sooner! I have excuses but you probably won't want to hear any of it anymore. But look at the bright side, here's chappie 21! I featured the song, The One that Got Away by Katy Perry, in this chappie. Read and review! Enjoy!


"Until college?" he asked in disbelief.

Summer after high school when we first met

I slowly nodded.

We made out in your Mustang to Radiohead

"That's a long time, May. Are you sure?" he exclaimed.

And on my 18th Birthday

I took a deep breath before I said, "My friends and my family have nothing against me going to New York. They're all supporting me. It's not like I'm leaving anyone important behind without making amends," Well, there is one person I don't want to leave behind. That's you, Drew. But I didn't tell him that.

We got matching tattoos

He looked at me straight in the eye as his lip formed into a straight line. He had this emotion in his eye that I have never seen before. He looked so…what's that word…crestfallen.

In another life

The rain pelted us both. My dress stuck to my body as if it was a second layer of skin.

I would be your girl

"And I expect you to support my decision like they have," I said quietly, barely audible in the rain.

We'd keep all our promises

I wonder… did he hear me?

Be us against the world

In a blink of an eye, that expression of his: the one I have never seen before disappeared.

In another life

He was smiling now. Grinning, actually.

I would make you stay

"Of course, May! I'm going to support you all the way. You are my, friend," Yup, he definitely heard me.

So I don't have to say

I looked at him at him in utter disbelief.

You were the one that got away

"Drew…" I said reaching out to touch his arm. He jerked away from my hand as if it was a clump of burning coal. I frowned.

The one that got away

"It's not like I have any right to stop you. Besides, I'm only your friend, May, nothing more," he said, still grinning. This time, I was the one who was feeling crestfallen.

All this money can't buy me a time machine

"Oh! Looks like the rain ruined my outfit," he laughed silently, "I better be on my way. This is Armani. Bye May. I wish you the best of luck,"

Can't replace you with a million rings

He gave me one final smile before walking off to the direction of his car. I watched him get into his Lamborghini Reventon, speeding off before my vision of him completely blurred, thanks to the tears rolling down my cheeks.

I should've told you what you meant to me

"Drew…" I muttered, "I'm sorry,"

'Cause now I pay the price


I trudged myself towards inside Cigam Stadium, where I was greeted by the grins of Misty, Ash and Dawn (Remember that Paul NEVER smiles) but it quickly vanished once they saw that I was alone. No Drew Shu beside me. I was soaking wet. My face was stained with tears.

My heart felt as if it was made out of stone.

"What happened?" Misty asked.

"I-I…," I muttered.

"Didn't he tell you that he loves you?" Dawn asked.

I didn't answer her. I just bit my lip and looked at the floor.

"May, don't tell me you rejected him,"

"I love Drew but I just can't be with him…I'm sorry," I said, tears streaming down my already wet cheeks.

"I can't believe this," I heard Paul say. I could see Ash's fist clench.

"Listen here, May," Misty held Ash back. "Don't you know Drew's been planning this for weeks now, huh? Don't you know that you're the first and only girl he's done this for? Don't you know how excited he was for this? Don't you know how uncomfortable these clothes are?"

Everyone kept silent. No one has ever seen this side of Ash before. He's never been this angry.

"Don't you know how hard all of us, Dawn, Misty, Paul, Drew and me, worked just to make this thing happen? Especially, Drew! And Drew is lazy, May! He's lazy like me! But he put his laziness aside so he could do this for you," Ash continued. "What did you do? You rejected him even if you love him!"

"Ash, stop," Misty said.

"I have my reasons, Ash. You don't understand my situation, okay?" I exclaimed.

"Of course, May! I will never understand! No one will. You know what? I think you don't even understand your situation," Ash said.

"Ash, just stop it already, okay?" Misty said. Even Misty looked nervous of what was going to do.

"Drew understands me, Ash, he does," I said.

"No, he doesn't, May! He's just pretending to protect his pride. He's pretending to act as if he's not hurt but he's hurt, May, even if he doesn't show it. He is an actor!"

"Ash, stop it. Leave her alone. Please," Misty quietly said. He just ignored her.

"May, but you know what I understand? I understand the fact that you broke my best friend's heart," he continued. "You may think I'm a dumb and lazy dude, but I know for a fact that you hurt my friend. I'm not that stupid!"

He was able to let go of Misty's grip.

"Paul, we're leaving. We're going to look for Drew," he said.

Paul, who never lets anyone order him around, didn't hesitate. He stood up and kept his trap shut.

Even Paul looked stunned by Ash's outburst.

Paul looked at us as if to say even I don't know what's wrong with him just let him cool off…he'll get over it but before following Ash.

They were headed towards the exit when Ash stopped in his tracks and faced us once again. He looked at me with a glare that sent shivers down my spine.

"You broke his heart, May. You broke it. Into millions of tiny pieces," he said before they left.

That was my breaking point. I crumbled to the floor crying.

And at that point, I knew my heart wasn't made out of stone because what Ash said hurt.

A lot.


Ooh! I hope I didn't make Ash that OC but I just wanted to show his other side that no one has ever seen before in the anime! I hope you all liked it! Review! Chappie 22 will be up soon!
