Me: Yeah guys!
Drew: You haven't updated for a really long time.
Me: Yeah, I know. I just got really lazy. No excuse really.
Drew: Thanks for being honest with everyone.
Me: *shrug* Sure but either way; you'll love me or hate me!
May: *reads the chapter and looks at me as if I'm insane* What!
Me: I needed something juicy! You try being a writer and to impress them!
May: But really!
Me: It's just a story May, gosh!
May: Yeah, for you guys; it's fanasty! But for us, it's freaking reality!
Me: You'll be fine.
May: GAH!
Me: Yeah, guys...That's your spoiler for the chapter. Thanks a lot May...
May: What did I do!
Drew: Can we just start it? This is getting annoying.
May: Fine! Whatever! MKA does not own Pokemon!
Me: Okay! Go read...I'm seriously, stop reading the bold and read the chapter!
I sighed as the raindrops slowly dripped from the window, it was that time of the year again. That time of the year where I needed more strength and there was only one place to get that from. My parents' grave. Seeing the stone above the coffins always remind me on what they looked like and how they sounded. And I never wanted to forget that at all. But one of the main reasons on why I visited them was to refill my strength to take care of Max. But...perhaps I didn't need to anymore, Grandpa and Grandma could do that and I was no longer a guardian. I knew for a fact that I was going to keep going to the grave for the rest of my life. No matter on what day it is or what's going on. I will always be there and I needed to hear their widson on what to do next. I was confused on how I should handle this new change in my life.
I know I just got to New York; I'm still going to Petalburg no matter what. I told my grandparents that I would only be gone for a little while. Two days to the maximum, they allowed me to go and I quickly packed my bag for my short journey. I left after saying goodbye and went to the airport.
Luckily, they were boarding shortly when I arrived so I went through the lines and went to my port station. I sat in the seats and glance at my cell phone for any new messages.
Leaf:
Where are you May! :(
Dawn:
How could you go to New York like that and leave us here with a goodbye!
I frowned a slightest bit, how did she know I was in New York?
Misty:
May, I'm gonna beat your ass when we come to get you!
I gulped scared, oh my gosh. They were coming to New York? To get me? And I'm sure Misty isn't kidding on beating me up when she finds me.
Drew:
We need to talk.
I rose my eyebrow in curiousity and confusion, I excepted him to care the less amount. After all, he dumped me for Terra and she had him wrapped around her finger. I sighed and scroll down to see if there was anymore new messages.
Paul:
We are coming to get you, May.
Gary:
May! We are going to find you and drag you back here!
Ash:
I broke up with Mandy and we are going to the airport to get you back here! :)
Luckily, the intercom called my flight and I got up to get seated inside the plane. I spent most of my time on the plane ride listening to music and reading a maginaze. It got boring after awhile and I soon regret on not bringing more entertainment with me. But it was WAY better than the lady next to me talk happily about her ninety-four cats. It was actually unpleasant to hear when she told the story that fifteen pregnant ones gave birth at the same time.
I got lucky again when they announced that they were landing soon, I cried out an excited 'yes!' and pumped my fist up in the air. I pushed the crazy catlady out of the way, grabbing my bags and heading off to a hotel. I asked for one room and received a key.
I got upstairs to place down my bag, grab some cash and went downtown. I walked down the old sidewalks, noticing the familiar things along the road and some new. However, the warm comfortance of an old home was still here. Along my way to the cemetery, I stopped by a nice flower shop. I bought some roses which made me flinched.
Roses.
Drew.
I miss him.
I took a big breathe and sucked it in and continue on my way to the graveyard.
The place was nice and clean, not like those ones in the movies were there was fog all over the ground and owls screeching in your ears. No, it was a warm evening and the stars were out and there wasn't a cloud in sight. The grounds was clean and the flowers were nicely placed on graves. I knew where my parents where by heart, walking down the small path near a lake. The sprinkles of water lightly hit my face and there was the gravestone with clear writing on the rock.
Here lies two loving parents; Caroline Angeline and Norman Robert Maple.
Who stood strong through thick and thin.
2002 of the Tragic Death
That'll Never Be Forgetton.
I went to my knees and bowed down, even now I could feel their souls connecting with mine.
"Hello mommy, daddy," I started softly. "I really miss you and so does Maxy." Oh gosh, it's been a long time since I called Max by his nickname... "I know and feel you want me and him to go on. But I feel like I can't. I tell this same speech for every year because how can you assume for me to forget the most important people in my life? I would never forget you. I will forever mourn your death and how will I ever go on? I don't know what to do with myself anymore? I'm tired of fighting for myself and for Max. I accidentically found someone, Grandma and Grandpa, to take care of Max and I. Should I allow it or resume the process of being a teenaged guardian? It's hard. Very hard and I don't know on how much I can take any longer. I need rest. It's not like it's hard to take care of Maxy." I said it again. "He's a great kid, you'll be proud of how he grew up. It represents a lot like you two. It's a shame that you can't see it, though maybe you can from Heaven. But lately, I've been having some troubles lately. I was almost broken and I am heartbroken. I miss everyone. Leaf, Misty, Dawn, Paul, Ash, Brendan, Gary, and even Drew...the boy who broke my heart. Will I ever have any rest-" I was about to finish my prayer when a cold voice stopped me from continuing.
"Maybe you can, MayMay," it hissed. I snapped my head up and around and gasped, standing up in surprise.
Tony.
Tony was there for who knows how long, but it made me shriek back in multiple amounts of fear. The glint in his eyes reminded me of Sheldon, no, not Wally. Wally was only for revenge-a revenge over rage and jealously. Sheldon didn't know me at all and only was doing it for the thrill of killing someone. Hurting someone for their own glee.
Tony had the same look and the way his lips curved in a suggestion smirk that made my stomach twist.
"T-tony? What are you doing here?" I asked him softly, almost like a whisper. He shrugged, his eyes boring into my sapphire blue orbs. Reading my soul and emotions. I felt like an open book, exposed for my own misforunate.
"Oh, nothing, really interesting," he stepped towards me and a shiver ran down my spine. "Say, can I ask you something?"
Drew
I sat by myself, anxious to get May back and work this whole mess out. I grinned happily, looking at the the others. Leaf and Gary were forced to sit together; Gary didn't mind at all but Leaf was pissed as hell. Dawn looked uncomfortable with Paul who had a blank look on his face. Though there was a scowl printed on this face. Misty and Ash were together and neither of them were speaking. The only ones who were actually happy with the seating arrangements was Athena and Bredan that were cuddling. I snuggled into the chair and fell asleep happily; dreaming about getting May back and watching a movie together with her head on my shoulder...
Leaf
This really sucks, I'm being forced to sit next to...I can't even say his name. He's trying to get me to talk with him numerous of times which I ignored. But he's not a jerk as I thought he was. He left Mint just to come with us. I sighed, glancing Gary's direction and tapped his shoulder. He looked at me curiously; absentmindly, I scooted closer to him. Going deeper in his jacket, and without thinking, a question that needed to be answer for a long time.
"Gary?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you cheat on me?"
His chest rose and slowly went down, his fingers lightly circling my back.
"I don't know, baby," it felt good for him to call me that...it felt like it's been such a long time for that soft sound and for the eternal peace feeling, "I was getting something for my locker. I don't remember what it was, it doesn't matter though. Anyways, out of nowhere Mint comes up and started to flirt. I don't know exactly what happened truthfully, but the next thing I knew...well, you know what. When I saw the shock and hurt in your eyes; I knew that was the most stupidest and worst mistake I ever did."
It was silent for a while but he asked.
"Do you forgive me on what happened?" I looked up in his eyes and nodded slowly.
"I forgive you Gary...I missed you so much..."
Gary
I was reading a book quietly after my attempts to talk to Leaf which she refused to. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looking up was Leaf, she came closer to me which I autonomically allowed. She was silent for a while, either she was thinking about something or she was lonely.
"Gary?" she asked in her soft baby voice that I adored.
"Yes?"
"Why did you cheat on me?"
I froze and slowly breathed in and out, I explained what happened. She didn't move or interrupted. I couldn't tell if that was a good or bad sign. But I knew I chose my words carefully so I wouldn't upset, but I told her the truth so it didn't really mattered.
I had to know that she was thinking, the suspension was killing me from her not talking.
"Do you forgive me on what happened?" she looked up and nodded before saying "I forgive you Gary." she paused before adding "I missed you so much..."
I smiled and she cuddled back into my chest, "I missed you too."
Soonly after that she fell asleep and I resume to read my book.
Ash
Making conservations with Misty was never easy espicially when she tunes me out with her iPod, I kept giving her pleading looks for her to say something. I'm bored and I want Misty back; but as a girlfriend or just a friend? I frowned slightly, what did I want? The worse possibility for us to hate other and I most definitely do not want that. Misty can't hate me, she's has a huge impact on my life. Then I started to worry, did she hate me at the moment? She told me she is ashamed with me, am I a disappointment to her now? I really hope not.
She can't hate me!
I shook her shoulder violently, begging to get her attention. She pulled the earphones out of her ears and snapped a irriated "What Ash!"
"Please tell me you don't hate me!" I cried desperately, she softened.
"Ash..."
There was a long pause.
"...I can never hate you."
That warm my heart quickly like hot chocolate, milky and satisfying. Great, now, I'm hungry.
Though she could still be mad.
"Are you still mad at me?"
That was a stupid question to ask, I learned when Misty turned the color red.
"Of course I am! You took drugs, Ash! Drugs! Do you know how dangerous that is!" She stage whispered. I winced at her words.
"Why did you do them?" she asked a little softer. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair.
"Well, Mandy and I were becoming really good friends and she suggested them to me. I was really busy with homework, projects, and stuff like that. I had a lot of my plate and she said that she knew the perfect cure. She gave me something and slowly they came more and my grades become to drop. I didn't know what was happening but Mandy convinced to me that the treatments were working. I really sorry for what happen and the way I treated you," I explained softly.
Misty frowned, "Ash, if you needed help; why didn't you come to me? I would have pointed you to the right way; safer one too. But now, I know I need to take down Mandy even harder. No one hurts my Ashy."
She looked at me and smiled then I found myself smiling back. I pointed to the iPod, "What are you listening to?"
She gave me one of the earpiece and I place it in my ear, the familiar music of Caramelldansen came to me.
Misty
I'm ignoring Ash. I was suppose to as an angry ex girlfriend. But it was mighty hard with Ash begging me with those adorable puppy dog eyes. They could even beat a puppy's pout by a landslide. To make it easier on myself, I brought my iPod to my ears. From there on, I was in relaxtion.
Though the secure peace didn't last long when Ash violently shook my shoulder. I mentally groaned, taking out my earphones and hissed "What Ash?"
"Please tell me that you don't hate me!" he exclaimed, I felt myself softened at the desperate need of his voice. It concern me deeply..
"Ash," I whispered, I paused for a moment. Did I hate him? No. I couldn't. No matter how much I wanted too. My heart didn't allow for hatred to flow through Ash's name. And my soul was defending him. How could it be? Ash even made my own body betray me. My heart who was a part of me and took the scars when I got hurt; wanted to keep fighting for him. "...I can never hate you."
I can't believe I just said that...Oh crap..
"Are you still mad at me?" was his next question. I felt my face get hot from anger. How could he say that! Of course I'm still piss!
"Of course I am! You took drugs, Ash! Drugs! Do you know how dangerous that is!" I whispered so no one could over hear us.
He flinched.
I asked him way he did them and he ran his fingers through his hair. He explained that Mandy made him and he thought it was a stress relief. He told me that he was truly sorry for the way he acted towards me. I sincerely told them that if he wanted help that he could always come to me. I also said that I would have to beat Mandy up even harder and no one could ever hurt my Ash.
I smiled and he smiled back. Ash pointed to my iPod and asked "What are you listening to?" I gave him an earphone and we listened to Caramelldansen and some other songs for the rest of the flight.
It was a compromise, an agreement. We weren't exactly together but we were friends again. It wasn't really perfect but it was perfectly fine for me. Even though my heart was pleading for me to kiss him passionately.
Brendan
I guess you can say that Athena and I are really nosy...we are cuddling like most couples do but I bet that they don't spy on their friends. I mean, it should be like a civil war all over again. Leaf vs Gary and Ash vs Misty and Dawn vs Paul. You except screaming or the sounds of smacks.
But no, Leaf was on Gary's chest sleeping happily which I don't know how that happened. Didn't Leaf hate Gary now? Where's the arguing? The only reason why I put them together was to see some action. A show for the flight. But no, they made up without even a shout.
I sighed, looking over at Ash and Misty. They were smiling and listening to Misty's blue iPod. Athena and I frowned disapprovingly. Really? I thought that they would been the most noisy out of all three of them!
"How could they have a truce so easily!" Athena exclaimed stress.
I nodded, "I except that Ash would of been smack with the mallet..."
Athena shook her head, "No, mallets or any weapon are not allow on the plane."
That makes sense...
Oh well, let's check on Dawn and Paul. We groan in unsion on how Dawn was sleeping on Paul's shoulder. He was just listening to his iPod, watching a movie. Man, no action at all..
I need some entertainment now.
"Hiya there sonny!" A voice greeted me. I turned to my right and cringed. There was an old lady with a lazy eye and her grey hair stuck in random directions. She was dressed in a nasty pink nightgown that looked like it hasn't been washed in a very long time. She also wore dirty bunny slippers as shoes.
I cleared my throat, "H-hi..."
She smiled and begun to talk about her ninety-four cats and how fifteen of the pregnant ones gave birth at the same time. It was a disturbing story and I really didn't need to hear it. This wasn't what I was talking about when I needed entertainment at all.
Athena
The ride to New York was long and boring. Brendan and I thought that making the ex sit together will cause a war but they acted like they were either friends or back together. It wasn't really fun to watch, adorable but boring. I was happy for them that they worked everything out but honestly, I was bored as hell.
Leaf and Gary was cuddling.
Misty and Ash were listening to some music.
Dawn and Paul were hanging out.
Drew was just sleeping.
Brendan was talking to someone or whether someone was talking to Brendan. I glance at the women and did a double take. The women was nothing but clean. She looked like that cat hoarder from the Simpsons. I guess that she was a hoarder but she had like ninety-four cats. Freaking ninety-four! Who has over ninety cats? This lady!
Poor Brendan, he looked like in was in pain as she told him a story about them.
Dawn
Since we were on the plane, I thought that Paul and I could solve our issues. But Paul was rude, really rude. He called me Troublesome and he would get in my face to tell me to shut up. He would growl when I try to explain on what happen.
"Then Reggie tried to-" I was cut off by Paul grabbing my wrist and bringing me closer to his face.
"Stop lying, you Troublesome brat," he hissed and with that, he let go off my wrist. I frowned, rubbing my now-red wrist.
"Paul, I'm trying to tell you the truth," I pleaded, sticking out my bottom lip. He wasn't buying it.
"I said to shut up, didn't I?"
I groaned, grabbing his cold hard hands, "Why won't you listen to me! Why won't you believe that it was Reggie! Why won't you understand that I would never ever cheat on you!"
He snatched his hands away quickly, "Because I put family first."
"Well! Why don't you ask Reggie then!" I shouted, I knew Reggie couldn't keep a secret when it's brought up. His voice would get all squeaky and high. It was a dead give away.
He grunted but agreed, I sighed tiredly as I lean back into my seat and fell asleep.
Paul
She was being Troublesome again, annoying and whiny. She wouldn't stop talking about what happen with Reggie. She tried to reverse and say what really happen but I already knew the truth. She flirt with Reggie and almost tried to kiss him. I knew the entire story.
"Then Reggie tried to-" she blabbed, I cut her off by grabbing her wrist and bringing here close to my face.
"Stop lying, you Troublesome brat," I snapped with her rants. She whined on how she was telling the truth. I rolled my eyes.
"I said to shut up, didn't I?"
A pair of warm hands grabbed mine, it was that Troublesome girl. My lips were into a snarl, I'm gonna punch her if she tries to touch me one more time!
"Why won't you listen to me! Why won't you believe that it was Reggie! Why won't you understand that I would never ever cheat on you!" she cried.
I pulled my hands away and growled that family always come first. She huffed and dared me to call Reggie and ask if it really happened. I agreed and went back to my movie on my black iPod. Dawn stopped talking and fell asleep, unconditionally her head moved to my shoulder. I stiffened, looking around to see if anyone saw. Dawn's head is on my shoulder. Wait, what's that strawberry smell? Oh no! No! That's Dawn's shampoo! I can't smell this odor or else it's be like I am accepting her scent like those animals on Discovery Kids.
But it smells so nice!
Ugh, stop it Paul! You are acting like Ash! You aren't an Ash! You are Paul! Damnit! Should I shove her off? No, I can't do that...
Looking down at Dawn's sleeping figure and a small soft smile made it's way to my face. She looks like an angel...
My angel.
Even if she may didn't do that with Reggie. I might still has feelings for her, I can't just forget a person like her.
No POV, Plane
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts! We are landing shortly and thank you for choosing Air Bending Flights Today," The intercom announced, the people on the plane did so and the group (who was still awake) smiled. It was time to get May back!
May
I tried to swallow the huge knot in my throat, he is coming closer to me. I'm scared, I am really scared. Tony wants something from me? What would that be? Money? Jewelry? My...oh no, anything but that! No! No! No! I took a step back and whimper, which made him come closer. Eventually with a iron grip hold of my wrist, he yanked me to his face.
Someone help me!
I screamed in my mind! There must be someone there to be my shining knight! I don't care who it is! Please get me away from him! His dark eyes loomed over my body which allow me to become really uncomfortable, his breathe smelt of acohol. The scent was strong and it literally made me gagged. My struggles were oblivious to him, then he said it.
"Become mine."
I can't! I don't belong to him! I won't be his bitch! I won't be his! I will never be his toy therefore when I'm still in love with Drew!
No.
I didn't just say that, did I? I don't love Drew, I shouldn't after all I've been through with him. Plus, he had Terra to bring him happiness. I won't say I'm in love.
But I do. I can't lie to myself, I need to face that.
"No!" I screamed, Tony growled and tighten his grip. I gasped in pain, that hurts. That really hurts!
"Let me go, Tony!" I shout in his face, hoping he got the message. The glare hardened, either it didn't or did which deeply upset him.
"You are coming with me if you like it or not."
I really don't like it...
"Even if I have to drag you there," he added. I rose an eyebrow to myself.
There? There is a 'there?' That means...oh no, he plan this entire thing! Shit! I looked around for anyone to shout out to or somewhere to run. I wriggled out of his grasp and sprinted to get anyway from the graveyard. But he was way faster and caught up to me, knocking me down when his fist collide with my back. I gasped as I fell to the floor but was quickly brought back up to Tony.
"Don't you ever do that again and if you do; I'll beat your ass so hard, the angels would start crying," he snarled, I gulped as my only reply. Too speechless to say anything, too afraid for him to strike again if I report back smartly. I can't struggle. I can't talk. I can't move. I can't see May, Misty, Dawn, and Leaf again. I can't any of my other friends. I can't see Max or my newfound grandparents again. I can't... I won't be able to see Drew again. Not to feel his comfort touch of his soft warm skin against mine. I can't hear that angelic voice of his when he talks to me. I can't see those brillant green eyes of his or that grand silky hair for me to ran my fingers through. I can't hold him for one more last time.
Tony threw me over his shoulder and begun to walk out of the cementry; to a red van. He place me inside quickly and tied my hands together. He went around the truck and started the car, I sighed.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked.
He looked annoyed and rolled his eyes, "What?"
The voice was cold and bitter, I looked at him.
"Why me though? There was many girls in the city, tons more beautiful than me. You could've had them but yet, why me?" I asked shakily, he just gave me the evil grin and shrugged.
"Think of it as a request from someone," he snickered. My eyes widened, what!
Me: Cliffhanger! I guess. I haven't done one in a very long time.
May: See! What did I tell ya! MKA is freaking insane!
Me: Wasn't that chapter amazing! You should bow down to me and praise me for the queen of writing or something.
Drew: No.
Me: I couid make Tony rape and then kill May, you know.
May: What! What did I say! It's reality for us! Do you know how much embarrassment you authors put us through! The other animes always laugh at us for it!
Drew: She's right.
Me: Do I look like I care? No? Then that answers the question, now doesn't it?
Drew: -.-
Me: Whatever! Go sing S+M by Rihanna in Centerscore High!
Drew: *frowns* Your bitchin' today...
Me: *rolls eyes* Sure.
Drew: R&R
