The Truth in Lies
by Kyoto-chan
A/N: Alright, the title sucks, the summary sucks, and most probably, the plot sucks. ...Part of this plot thingy was already used by DarkAngelTorchic in "Don't Tell Me", so, well, you get the idea. Anyway, 'tis my first time writing a Hoennshipping /without/ Pokeshipping, and you can see how fustrating it is right now.
Fiery: Oh no, don't tell me, another rant.
Naw, no rants this time!
Summary: [hoennshipping] The best of friends, but May's keeping something bottled from from Brendan. When she starts getting nightmares, she decides to tell him, before something bad happens, then she has to deal with her worst fear; rejection.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, all those legal creeps own it. Now people, you can't sue! BWAHA!

Chapter One
"NO!" came the soft cry of a certain sleeping brunette. She quickly woke up to a start, only to find out it was all just a dream. "Man...these nightmares are starting to creep me out...like it's telling me something...maybe...I should. I should tell him. Tomorrow." the girl told herself. And with that comment, she quickly tucked herself back into bed, trying not to think about her nightmare; the nightmare about a certain white-haired trainer.

Morning came in just a few hours after May's nightmare, and she woke up abruptedly, by her alarm clock. She wiped her eyes tiredly, as she took off her covers, and walked out her door, and after brushing her teeth, downstairs, only to see her whole family, doing their usual things. She mumbled as she yawned, "Morning." "Good morning, sis." came a rather hyperactive Max. May took her seat at the breakfast table, and began dosing off. When she woke up suddenly, she saw worried looks coming from her family, and Mrs. Maple asked, "May, this isn't normal...you haven't been getting enough sleep for about three weeks now! What's going on?" May replied, "Nothing, Mom, I'm fine." Mrs. Maple let out a defeated sigh, and then just gave up, and handed May her breakfast.

May exitted the door of her house, and hesitantly started walking next door. She kept trying to keep her self esteem up, but telling herself things like, "May, you can do this." and "You've come too far, don't back out now." She reluctantly knocked on the door, and the all-too-known Brendan answered it. "Why, hello May!" he said cheerfully. May couldn't look him straight in the eye, for precautionary fears of blushing. She walked in, her eyes still glued to her shoes. The white-haired trainer then remarked, "You're rather silent today, May." It was that moment that May looked up at him. Of course, no one was there at the moment, and the Birches were still sleeping. She took in a deep breath, and then asked him confidently, "Do you sometimes think of us more than friends? Before you answer, I want to tell you, that I do." (Phew! Now that wasn't as corny as the original line!) Brendan then broke his direct gaze at May, and looking down, not wanting to show his unemotional face, he said one little word, "No." May's heart shattered right there, and she couldn't pick up the pieces. Trying to hide her sadness, she pretended to be understanding of Brendan's reply and plastered on a fake smile. "That's alright, but this won't mess up our friendship, will it?" she asked hopefully. Brendan replied, "No, it won't."
May walked out the door of the house, leaving her broken heart inside the very room she and Brendan just spoke in. She bit her lip to keep the threatening tears from falling, and then secretly wiped her eyes. It just so happened, that it started raining, as May walked into the door of her house. From trying to keep the Maples from getting too worried, she put on another mask, and pretended to still be happy.

Now outside around dark, May started silently sobbing, her tears watering the grass with the rain under her umbrella. The only one who saw her, was in fact Max. May listened to her tears so much, that she didn't see the pair of car headlights...heading towards her. Then, her world blacked out there, leaving her bleeding and unconcious.

When May awoke, she found herself in a hospital room, surrounded by her friends and family, not to mention, the one that caused her to be sad in the first place. "May's awake!" came Misty, who was sitting down on top Ash's lap. (Ahem, forget what I said about /no/ Pokeshipping, but this, this is just a minor pairing, so it doesn't really matter.) The group of visitors turned their attention from whatever they were doing, and looked at May. "May, you okay?" Brendan asked her, in a worried tone. (Okay...that last quote rhymed! xD Anyway, is it considered a hint to be worried about your best friend? NO.) May nodded slowly, as she turned to her mother, who said, "May, your father and I have decided, that the streets here in Hoenn are too dangerous, and we're going back to Johto." May had mixed emotions; half of her, being glad that she wouldn't have to see Brendan everyday anymore, and the other, sad that she would have to leave her friends in Hoenn. May nodded again. "May, we're going in a week after you get released." Mrs. Maple told her. "Okay Mom." May replied, then looked up at the ceiling.

The rain was falling on the particular day May had to leave Hoenn. It had been two weeks since the incident, and she stepped into the moving van. He didn't realize it until after she left, but sure enough, Brendan had feelings for her.
