He was here. In Azalea. Why, I asked myself, as I pondered on it.

"May?" I heard a voice.

I turned towards who was the source of the voice, only to find Max.

"What do you want?" I asked that nosy little brother of mine.

"Brendan's here, I thought at least you would greet him..." he trailed off.

I widened my eyes, pretending I didn't know.

"Really? I didn't notice." I lied quickly.

Max shrugged, as he closed the door to my room. I held my Torchic doll close to me, as I thought of the pain Brendan caused me, that so-called 'best friend' of mine. I sighed, as I put my Torchic doll back to where I took it, on top of the bottom-left corner of my pillow. I hesitantly opened my door, as I walked down the stairs slowly, those tears not falling, and they were un-noticable. I sat down as far away from 'him' as possible, remembering what happened two years earlier. I sighed sharply, as I waved a hand at him, then placed that hand under my chin, resting on it lazily.

"May, you okay? You're quite tired right now." My mom noted, as she saw my sleepy state.

"School was tiring, mom. Can I go upstairs now?" I asked my mom, a glint of hope to get away from 'him' in my eyes.

She nodded, and mentally, I was practically celebrating. I was really tired though, and I walked back up to my room, as slowly as I walked down. I opened my door, and grabbed my Torchic doll again, and laid myself on my bed, tucking myself in. I yawned, before I entered the dream state again.

For what seemed like a few hours to me, I woke up, looking up at the clock hanged near my computer. I was asleep for two hours. I walked down again, rubbing my eyes, and saw everyone seated around the table, ready to eat.

"May! You're awake! You're just in time for dinner!" My dad exclaimed, motioning me to the table.

I gulped, as the only chair left next was next to Brendan, and hesitantly took my seat.

"May, you seem a little pale..." He noted, as he looked at my face, worried.

I shrugged, as I drew my chopsticks to my mouth, devouring my rice. In a few minutes, I finished my dinner, and sighed, looking straight ahead at Max.

"Brendan's right, you are a little bit pale." Max noted, as he pointed a finger at me.

My mom was right next to me, and she put her hand to my forehead.

"You have a fever, May!" she exclaimed, taking her hand off.

I groaned, and I laid my chin on top of my hands, which were laid one on top of the other on the table.

'Great. A fever.' I thought, as I sighed lazily.

"What are we going to do about it, Mom?" I asked her.

"Here May, take this medicine." she said, pouring some liquid on a spoon, and put it in front of my mouth, trying to force it in.

I drank it, no matter how bitter it was. I sighed, as I looked longingly at my room, wanting to fall asleep again.
