Everlasting
Love
(Authors Note: I know not lots' of AAML, but it will show sometime in this fiction, I know it will! I hope you liked the first chapter and got to know our characters well, as that chapter was basically written to develop our two characters. I hope I did a good job on that, and so let's start Chapter Two of 'Everlasting Love' As I said before this whole entire fiction is dedicated to the victims of the WTC and Pentagon crashes.)
Chapter
2 – Marriage –
**Ash
POV**
I
leaned back on the leather seats in the limo I was sitting in, waiting for the
arrival at the airport, "How long until we are there?" I asked being impatient,
I just hated waiting I just had to do something to make me feel occupied, even
on my journey I just walked and walked aimlessly so I am not just laying around
waiting for some information or whatever…
"Mr.
Ketchum, about another ten minutes, so do you think you might get married with
that girl I saw in front of your house, Ms. Waterflower?" The driver said,
trying to spark up conversation, I had no problem talking about my girlfriend,
I was glad too.
Marriage
he is asking though? I never really thought about marrying Misty before, I love
her of course, but I just never thought of getting married, we knew each other
for eight years, maybe it is time that I bring the subject up to her as we know
each other so well and we are madly in love, maybe it is time that I should
marry her, I can surprise her when I come back with that, sure I will do that!
"Thinking
of it." I responded to him, once the idea popped into my head, well I did think
of it, just not for a long time.
I
had dreams before about marrying Misty and having a wonderful life with her, I
just never thought of actually marrying her, I do not know why. My mom got divorced
with my dad, maybe that is why I tried to avoid the subject when Misty tried to
bring it up, I fear that if we do get married it will only lead to us breaking
up and I know I would not be able to handle that since it took myself so long
to say to her, 'I love you'
That
day when I said it and until this day was the best time ever in my life, just
saying it four years ago, when we first became a couple was the best time in
our life… I remember it just as if it was yesterday…
(*) - Flash Back – (*)
"I guess I should be leaving now, Ash…" Misty said to me, outside of the rented house I was living in at the moment near the stadium for the Pokemon League, as I was planning to stay there for another week or so then start my training of maintaining my title of Pokemon Master, "No point of being here any longer…I don't think so." She said, forgetting about her bike, it does not matter not like I was ever planning to give it to her. Tears were created in her eyes just because of this sad event, she beginning to cry.
It
was not going to end like this I wouldn't let Misty go. I thought about it
forever, had dreams about it, I was ready to finally admit to her. I gathered
my emotions up, push them to the side of her reaction just not caring, I had to
spit it out into the world, I just know she is just waiting for me to say this,
"Misty you can't leave, I have something very important to tell you…" I said
trying to get her attention.
"What
is it, Ash?" She sniffled trying to keep the tears in, trying to give me her
full attention, as she knew this was going to be important, I think it was just
by the concentration her eyes were set on me, which just made me more nervous,
but I had to say it.
Just
letting her leave will make me regret this for the rest of my life, letting her
leave is the wrong thing to do. I just never paid for her life so she would
stay with me, as I always thought sometimes if I gave her the money to buy a
new one she would just leave me just like that and I will feel the fullest of
rejection.
"Misty…"
I said taking a gulp in my throat, this was nerve wrecking for me, but I knew I
had to do it sometime or she would leave me and never know, but I know she got
to know, "Misty…I love…" the words just did not come out of my mouth, I tried
to force them out, but nothing it was just so hard to say in front of her, I
knew I had too.
'Gather
the courage to do it Ash' I told myself in my head as I looked at her, she
looking at me confused, probably thinking, 'Love who?' So finally I got to say
it, quickly so I could not stop myself, "Misty-I-love-you!" Geez that was so
quick I thought it was the wind whistling.
"You-you—you."
That was Mistys' response, like that sounds very useful, "You love me?" She
said as she stopped crying and sniffled looking at me a way she never looked at
me before, "I always loved you too, Ash Ketchum." Misty said as she ran over to
me and just gave me a big hug, she threw her arms around my neck and held
herself close up to me.
"You
do?" I said a she just nodded in response, I hugging her back. I felt a
sensation going through my body, I never felt like this way before, it must be
the one and only thing I never had until now, love.

"Mr. Ketchum." The driver said as he opened the back door of the limo, I just blinked a few times out of confusion. Oh we are at the airport! Man that seemed quick. I exited the limo once he opened the door and I recognized I should leave now, so I did. 'Fuchsia City International Airport' it read on the doors of the entrance into the airport.
It
was not a huge place as this was only a small city. It had only a few terminals
and a few planes going from it to other places and some coming here, this was
not a huge attraction except for the Safari Zone and of course I living here,
the most powerful Trainer.
I
threw my bags on the scale at the desk where I got my ticket, I only got a
coach seat, as I did not want to be noticed by all the people and everyone
going into shock, so I just kept low and did not make myself noticed.
The
bags were checked in, well so I do not need to hold everything on the plane. I
was not even a good flyer so I don't want to be surrounded by all the banfgs
around me, what happens if the overhead collapse there is one simple answer, I
die. Well I can die, I may just go into a concussion, but that is still
horrible!
I
took a seat on the plane, buckled my seat belt and wait for the flight to
begin, just let this get over with…
