AN: I don't own crawling by Linkin Park. This does have Ritchie x female OC. This also might be a little dark. Just letting you know

Sarah's Pov

So we were walking and I was thinking about my past again. Lately I have been having dreams about my past. Something I don't want to remember. But there's one thing I don't wanna remember at all. I don't wanna go into detail but I still wonder why Ritchie, Ash, Brock, May, and Max become friends with me. Until then I heard Ritchie say Sarah lookout! And then I walked right into a tree and fell down and started clutching my nose.

A couple of minutes later. Ritchie's Pov.

So Sarah was holding an ice pack against her nose and she was looking at the fire Brock made and I looked at her eyes there were bags under them. So I walked over and sat down beside her and asked Sarah why there are bags under your eyes? She looked at me and looked back down and said you probably won't understand….

I say to her I will try to understand. Please tell me. I am always here.

So then I put a hand on her shoulder and she tensed up, which is something she never did before. When I used to touch her on the shoulder and then she looked at me and then we heard what's up loser and all of us turned around and Sarah said with venom in her voice You! The person looked at her and said yep that's me Josh. Sarah growled until Josh looked at me and said are you her boyfriend? Because the only use she has is her body. I growled and said I am not her boyfriend! Second of all. Girls should be treated with respect! Brock says I can agree! Girls can do the same thing guys can do! Josh says whatever their only use is their body and I Will just be taking Sarah back with me now and he walked up to her and Sarah was shaking until I got up and tackled the guy onto the ground and said Leave Sarah alone! Sarah looked like she was about to break down any second and Ash and May went over to Sarah's side. Sarah looked at me and then Josh got up and said Fine you win this one. I Will be back he smiled evilly to Sarah.

So then I ran to Sarah's side and then she hugged me and cried into my chest. I hugged her back as she started to cry even more and I said it's okay. Sarah sniffled and she hugged me even tighter.

A couple of hours later. Ritchie's POV.

AN: there is mention of self harm and other stuff. I might put this story into the M rating. Because it's too dark for the T rating.

So I was wide awake and I heard something and I got up and looked around and then I heard snoring and I went into Sarah's tent and saw a knife on the ground and I was shocked and saw a bunch of scars and I thought to myself is Sarah omg I gotta tell Brock about this! So I took the knife and took a couple of pictures and ran into Brock's tent and woke him and he asked what's it Ritchie?? I showed Brock the pictures I took and he was shocked and said I know this will happen and I asked him what do you mean? Brock says look at her past. She was bullied and forced to do things, She didn't want to do. She is doing this to take away the pain. Remember her Dad wasn't around a lot. She didn't have many friends. So she basically locked herself in her room. I asked Brock how she would have such an outgoing personality? if she was bullied.

Brock says probably to hide it. I nodded and we both went to Sarah's tent and went inside and she was up and said I guess you find out huh? Both of us nodded and I said why didn't you tell us? What was going on with you? We would have helped you. Sarah says I felt like I would be a burden. Me and Brock were shocked and I said to her. Never! I will always be here! No matter what! Everyone will! You're parents, you're Pokemon, and most importantly you're friends! You're never alone! No one is! Sarah, you are one of my best friends! Sarah looked at me and growled and said to me. I don't deserve self pity, I don't deserve anyone's friendship, time, and words. I deserve none of that! Until then I said I know what you deserve this I got down and put my hand on her shoulders and kissed her.

Sarah's Pov.

So I just sat there. Just letting him kiss me and I thought to myself damn this guy is really a good kisser wait what?! Dumb brain. So then he let go and he blushed and and chuckled and Brock was crying anime tears and said Oh come on! He is 15! I am 19! I should be getting the girls! Both me and Ritchie sweat dropped.

A couple of weeks later.

So all our heroes were eating and they found out what had been happening with Sarah. So May asks wait Ritchie you kissed Sarah?! Ritchie rolled his eyes and said yes and I will just prove it.

So then Ritchie grabbed Sarah by the shoulders and kissed her and she just sat there and May said she didn't even move and Ritchie nodded.

So Sarah got up and said I am just going to Walk around for a little bit. Everyone nodded and Sarah walked off.

A couple of minutes later.

Sarah's Pov.

So I was walking around and started singing

Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal

Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming, confusing This lack of self control I fear is never ending Controlling I sang while looking at the sky

I can't seem To find myself again My walls are closing in (Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced) (That there's just too much pressure to take) a voice said in my mind.

I've felt this way before So insecure (I sang while clenching my fists.)

Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me Distracting, reacting (I sang while looking at my hands)

Against my will I stand beside my own reflection It's haunting How I can't seem To find myself again My walls are closing in I sang while looking at the water

(Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced) (That there's just too much pressure to take)

I've felt this way before

So insecure Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing, confusing what is real There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface

Consuming (confusing what is real) This lack of self control I fear is never ending Controlling (confusing what is real)

So then I looked at the water again and thought to myself what the fuck, have I become? God I got on both of my knees and started breaking down and then I heard Sarah are you okay? I looked back and saw Ritchie and he walked over to me and sat down and said is it okay if I touch your shoulder? I looked at him and nodded and he put a hand on my shoulder and looked at me and said. I heard everything….

Then There was total silence between us and I asked have you ever felt like you're stuck? In your own head? Ritchie looked at me and said no not really. I said well everyday I feel like I am stuck inside myself and would never leave because I feel like I would break down even more without myself holding me back. I want to replace this pain with happiness. But what kind of happiness? Ritchie looked at me and said maybe being with someone that you love? Like a romantic way. I looked at him and asked what are you trying to suggest? Until then we heard So you are with your boyfriend again eh Sarah? Me and Ritchie looked and I got up and growled and said leave me alone Josh! Ritchie growled he didn't like this guy at all.

So then Josh came up to me and I growled and started clenching my fists and then he grabbed my waist and smirked and I froze. I couldn't move, I wanted to move but I couldn't.

Until then I see Ritchie growling and he ran up to Josh and pushed him to the ground and Ritchie grabbed me by the shoulders and said to Josh I am going to show you who Sarah really wants! So then he kissed me again. I started kissing back and Josh says fine you can have her. Me and Ritchie let go and smirked and Josh got up and ran off.

So I say I guess we're an item? Ritchie nodded and both of us walked back.

AN: Oh Lord wtf did I just write. Lately I have been feeling negative emotions. So I thought I would write this to get it out you know. This might be a little dark, sorry. Also a little cheesy as well XDD.
