"Do you like me?" I whispered to the one that I loved. I looked into Ash's eyes, hoping to see the answer that I wanted to see or his famous smile, but I saw neither.
"Misty, I… don't like you in that way. You're my best friend, almost like my sister, but…nothing more," his words struck me as if it was a thunder shock. So it was true. Ash didn't feel anything for me.
I hang my head and allowed streams of tears pour down my face. I suddenly felt his strong arms around me.
"I'm sorry Misty. Please stop crying Misty. Please Misty, Misty…"
"Misty? Misty! Wake up Misty!"
Suddenly I felt someone shaking me by my shoulders and reluctantly I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Ash.
"Ash?" I whispered, shaking my head slightly.
"Are you okay Misty?" he asked me in a concern tone, helping me up.
"I'm fine. What time is it?" I asked.
"Pretty late. Why are you sleeping out here?" he replied.
Blinking several times, I looked up at Ash with a look of confusion on my face. I looked around me and realised that I wasn't in my sleeping bag, but outside on top of the hill. Exactly where I was last night.
Day after day, time pass away
And I just can't get you off my mind
Nobody knows I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I can't find
I looked back at Ash, now knowing what to say. How could I tell him that I had cried myself to sleep? Just then Ash peered closer to me and looked at my cheeks.
"Misty, have you been…crying?" Ash asked me quietly in a voice that I have never heard him speak to me in before.
Suddenly I remembered that I had cried in my dream, because it had seemed so real.
Embarrassed to have Ash notice me crying I quickly looked at the ground to escape from his gaze.
The courage to show to letting you know
I've never felt so much love before
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
"No, I…I…wasn't crying," I stuttered.
But Ash didn't buy it.
"Misty, don't lie. You did cry. Why were you crying?" Ash asked in a much more serious tone.
I felt vulnerable; I didn't want him to know my true feelings so I did the only thing I could do. I started yelling at Ash.
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
"I said that I wasn't crying okay, Ash? And when I say I didn't, I didn't," I yelled at him.
I stopped and waited for the usually retort, but it didn't come.
"Why would I bother lying to someone like…?" I continued, but was interrupted by Ash.
"Okay!" he shouted.
I almost backed away in fear.
In a much quieter voice, Ash added, "I was just worried about you."
My eyes widened in surprise. Ash worried…about me?
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me?
How will I know if I let you go?
Just then, I heard a familiar voice calling out towards Ash and I.
"Ash! Misty! Breakfast is ready. Come and get it!" Brock yelled.
"Coming," replied Ash as he stood up and rushed over towards Brock, leaving me.
Slowly I stood up and walked over to join Ash and Brock for breakfast.
Brock smiled at me as he placed a plate of bacon and omelette in front of me. My favourite dish, but I didn't feeling like eating anything. After eating about half my omelette I stopped eating and put my fork down.
Brock noticed this and began questioning me.
"Hey Misty? Something wrong with the omelette?" he asked.
"Huh? Oh, no Brock. It's great," I forced a smile at my older friend.
"Well eat up and then we'll head off," he smiled.
In an attempt to not hurt Brock's feelings I forced myself to eat the rest of the omelette, but I really didn't feel like eating anything afterwards.
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
This time both Brock and Ash looked at me curiously.
"Misty, what's wrong? You woke up late this morning and now you don't want to eat anything. Are you sick?" asked Brock feeling my forehead to see if I had a fever or not.
"I'm fine guys, really. I'm just not hungry," I answered.
"Well, do you think you can walk to the next town? We can rest for another day and head off tomorrow, Misty," suggested Ash.
I was about to agree with him, but I didn't want to slow Ash down from his travels so I said that I'd be fine.
Soon afterwards we set off to the next town.
Night after night, I hear myself say
Why can't this feeling just fade away?
There's no one like you, you speak to my heart
It's such a shame we're world's apart
The day was wonderful. The sun shining down on your back, but I wasn't feeling cheery at all. In fact I felt kind of sick in my stomach. As we kept walking on my legs began to feel weak and my head started to hurt. Slowly I began to lag behind, but I was determined to keep up with Ash and Brock. Brock turned around and walked up to me.
"Misty, you sure you can go on? You look kind of tired to me," he said.
"I'm fine. Come on, let's go," I urged myself onwards.
The trip seemed to take twice as long as it probably did. My vision was getting really blurred. Suddenly my legs gave way and I fell down, with my face lying on the ground. In a second, Ash and Brock were by my side.
"Misty! Are you okay?" I heard Ash's voice calling to me.
Painfully I turned so that I could see his face staring down at me.
"Ash?" I whispered hardly able to keep my eyes open.
"It's okay, Misty. Just hold on. We'll get help!" I heard Ash's concerned voice.
And that was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me?
How will I know if I let you go?
*~*~*~*~*~
When I woke up I was greeted by a blank ceiling. I noticed that I was lying in a small bed covered by a white bedspread. Confused I turned my head and looked around. I was puzzled to find that I was in what seemed like a hospital bed. What had happened? The last thing I remember was travelling to the next town with Ash and Brock. Ash! Brock! Where are they?
I never had any one I could count on
I've been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin', so tired of searchin'
Till' you walked into my life
I started to get worried and quickly sat up, but suddenly I felt my head grow heavy and clutched my head. The moment I was up, Brock walked into the room.
"Misty, you're awake!" he cried as a smile crept up onto his face as he rushed over towards me.
"Hey Brock," I slightly smiled, still holding my head.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked as he pulled up a chair and sat next to me.
"I'm fine. My head just feels a bit heavy that's all," I replied. "Where am I?"
"You're at a Pokemon centre," he answered.
"Where's Ash, Brock?" I asked curiously feeling a sudden urge to see Ash.
"He's out. I think he said that he went to get something to eat."
"Oh," I responded in disappointment.
"You had us so worried Misty when you fainted," Brock said.
"I fainted?" I repeated.
"Don't you remember?" he asked.
I shook my head slightly.
"You fainted on the way to the next town," he began.
"I did?" I asked in surprise.
Brock nodded and continued.
"After you fainted, Ash and I began to panic and Ash carried you all the way here."
"Ash what?" I questioned in disbelief.
"Ash carried you here. It was a long trip, but Ash carried you here the whole way. He wouldn't let me take you at all, even when he was struggling to keep going. He was really worried about you, Misty. He kept telling you that everything will be okay and to hold on."
It was a feelin', I've never known
For the first time, I didn't feel alone
I felt tears threaten to pour down my cheeks. I never thought that Ash would do that for me. "He's been in here to check on you about 5 times since we arrived," Brock finished.
This time I couldn't hold back. I just let my tears out. For some reason I didn't felt so bad crying in front of Brock, probably because he's older than me.
"Hey, it's okay Misty. It's not a crime to love your best friend," I heard Brock say as he rested his hand on my shoulder and I immediately looked up at my older friend.
"You...you know?" I muttered. Brock smiled and nodded
"I won't tell him," he reassured me.
"Thank you," I whispered back, choking on my tears.
Brock smiled at me.
"You better rest for a while, Misty."
"I'll tell you when Ash comes back, okay?" he said kindly.
I nodded and thanked him. After Brock left I remained seated upright on my bed, thinking. Nothing entered my mind except Ash. I knew what Brock said was true, but it was hard to believe. Ash probably saved my life and I didn't even know about it. Ash was always the kind of person that is willing to help others, but I never thought that I would be the one to be helped by him. I smiled inwardly, wiping the remains of my tears away with my hand.
At that very moment I heard the door open and there standing in the doorway was Ash.
"Misty!" he shouted.
"Ash!" I grinned.
Ash was the only person I wanted to see right then.
"Are you okay now, Misty? You had me scared when you fainted," he smiled walking over towards me
"Sorry about that, Ash," I apologised, the smile never leaving my face.
I don't know where I'd be, without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense,
You're my best friend
You're my best friend
Just then Nurse Joy and Brock walked in.
"Misty, I see that you're awake. Are you feeling all right?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks," I answered.
"Nurse Joy, what was wrong with Misty? Why did she faint?" asked Ash worriedly.
"Calm down Ash. Misty's fine now, isn't she? You don't have to get all worried," Brock smirked.
I looked away for a second, feeling my face heat up.
It was a feelin', I've never known
For the first time, I didn't feel alone
"Brock's right, Ash. Nothing's wrong with Misty. She only fainted because of a lack of food. After a nice meal, she'll be just fine," smiled Nurse Joy.
"I told you that you should have eaten your breakfast, Misty," said Brock.
I looked away from Brock, embarrassed.
"Ash, why don't you take Misty out to get something to eat before you all go to sleep tonight? She'll probably feel a lot more refreshed afterwards," advised Nurse Joy.
Ash turned and faced me.
"What do you say, Misty?" he asked. I nodded.
Both Brock and Nurse Joy walked out as Ash helped me out of bed.
He reached for my hand and as embarrassed as I was, I didn't pull away. His hand felt warm and I felt myself lost in a dream the second his hand touched my own.
Slowly I pulled the bedspread off me and stood up on the ground beside Ash.
"You think that you can walk?" Ash asked me gently.
You're more than a lover; there could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh, we just get closer; I fall in love all over
Every time I look at you
"Yeah," I smiled at he and felt myself blush when he flashed me a smile back.
We decided to go to a small shop just around the corner. The food was delicious or maybe I was just extremely hungry. We ate and talked about the next town and Ash's upcoming battles. Soon we were finished and after Ash paid we left.
"Hey Misty, let's go for a walk in the woods," Ash suggested happily.
I was confused why Ash was so happy about going for a walk in the woods, but I just smiled and nodded.
When my world goes crazy,
You're right there to save me
You make me see how much I have.
Suddenly I felt Ash grab me by the wrist and start running towards the wood. To ensure that I wouldn't fall I began running beside him. I looked down at his hand on my wrist and felt myself blushing furiously. He was holding onto me firmly, but I couldn't feel any pain.
Was there something that he wanted to show me? Just then Ash turned and faced me and he grinned at me. I could feel my legs melting under me like jelly.
Nothing could be better than this. Running through the woods with my best friend and with the cool breeze blowing through my hair. But one thing could be better. If only I was running beside Ash, not just as his friend, but also as his girlfriend: if only that was possible.
You stand by me, and you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
