Geez... I didn't think my fic was that good. From the replies I got, it sounds like some of you really like it! Well, enough of me talking, on w/ chapter 2!!



~!^*Chapter 2: What I've Been Hearing*^!~



The next morning when I woke up, I looked at the clock and it read 9:47.

I yawned. I overslept just a little... I laughed.

Too lazy and tired, I just threw my pink robe with blue bubbles on it over my cerulean striped pajamas, and headed into the lobby.

When I arrived, I saw Ash, Brock, and ugh...May (who was sitting next to Ash), sitting at a table, eating a breakfast Nurse Joy had prepared for them. From the way Ash looked, he had just woken up too. He still had his pajamas on too, and he yawned lazily.

"Hey Mist," Ash said tiredly. I gave a lopsided smile in response. Ha, take that May! He said 'hey' to me not you! I thought childishly.

Just then, May put her arm around Ash's shoulders and laid her head down on his right shoulder. I just stood there, frozen in my spot, in shock. He'll tell her off for that- I thought, but my thoughts were interrupted by Ash putting his arm around May's shoulders and smiling at her. What?! I couldn't believe it! It was too much. I rushed down the hall, back into my room, and shut the door loudly behind me. I plopped abruptly onto my bed and sobbed.

"How could he do that?! She's so...AH!!" I screamed into the pillow with sadness and rage, as I pounded my fist. A few seconds later, I heard a knock on the door and heard Brock's voice through the door.

"Misty? Are you okay? Can I come in?" Brock asked.

"Sure, fine," I said, quickly drying my tears as he walked into my room.

"What's wrong, Misty?" Brock asked concerned. "Is it May and Ash?"

"May. She's just so..." I said, not knowing what to say.

"What?" Brock asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

And I, I wanted to be

Giving you everything she's not givin'

"What does that...that, thing offer for Ash that I don't?" I said, then slapped my hand to my mouth, realizing what I just said.

"So is that it? You like Ash?" Brock asked.

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to protest, then thought What's the point of lying anymore? I lowered my head and quietly said, "Yeah."

"Well, this probably won't help anything but..." Brock hesitated.

"What?" I said, bracing myself for the bad news.

"Um, Ash and May are kinda..." Brock paused. "together."

"You mean....they're, like, TOGETHER?" I said, shaking with anger.

"Yeah. I'm sorry, Misty. I know how you feel," Brock said boldly.

"Ha, I know you do, and I'm the one who causes it!" I said mischievously, eyeing him.

"I know," Brock said coldly, rubbing his ear.

"Oh," I said, realizing what I had said. "I'm sorry, I'll try to cut down on the ear technique!" I squinted my eyes and laughed.

And I, I wanted to see

Cuz I didn't believe what I've been hearin'

Changing the subject, I said, "So, this whole, 'May and Ash' thing, I have to see it for myself."

"Okay, be my guest," Brock said as I got up and left the room, followed by Brock. I could tell he wanted to see this.

As I walked into the lobby, I had already seen enough. Ash has his arm around May's waist, and May's arm was around Ash's back. They were having a conversation with Nurse Joy, but I wasn't close enough to hear what they were talking about, and apparently, I really didn't care.

My eyes filled with tears as I turned on my heel and ran down the hall, past a sympathetic-looking Brock, went into my room and slammed the door loudly. I collapsed on my bed and cried even harder than the first time.

I heard someone knock on the door again, expecting it to be Brock. But I asked anyway, "Who is it?"

But instead of a deep, mature male voice, I heard a annoying, girlie voice. "It's May, can I come in? I need to talk to you." said May.

"That depends on what you want to talk about," Misty said loudly.

"Misty, I want to talk to you about Ash," May said impatiently.
