All three girls stepped out into the cold night and shuddered from the
cold. Gary wrapped his arms around Mia who snuggled up to him gratefully.
Brock threw his jacket around Keya's shoulders, receiving a smile in
return. Ash attempted to offer his to Misty but she just stared at it
blankly. Gary, shrugging, gave Misty his own, which she gladly accepted.
Ash glared at him but Misty had already begun walking as Gary shrugged a
reply. Mia responded to her brother's reactions with a sigh and a slight
shake of her head. He'd never understand.
They all gasped in awe. The restaurant was enormous and was obviously very classy. "To think my brother was going to walk into this place with jeans and a week old T-shirt..." muttered Mia, putting a hand to her forehead. Gary smirked and they both leaned against the wall of the restaurant in thought as they waited for the others to move.
'Why did I forgive Keya so easily? And why is she being so nice all of a sudden?' she wondered. "Because you know what it's like feeling as if you don't belong and she's being nice because she had a good chat with Misty," replied Gary casually. Mia blinked blankly and may have blushed at realising she'd spoken out loud. If she did, it disappeared faster than it came. "How the heck do you find out about this kinda stuff?" she asked, not for the first time. Gary smiled secretly and turned away. Shrugging, Mia did the same, watching her brother. Ash hovered around Misty nervously, trying to think up anything he might be able to do to win back her affection. He couldn't work under pressure, his brain turned into scrambled eggs.
Keya was frozen stiff and Brock turned to face her when she gripped his arm with all her might. "Keya?" he asked uncertainly. Seeing this, Misty floated into view. "Keya, Keya, you alright?" she asked worriedly. Even Ash looked concerned for a moment. Gary, noticing who Keya was looking at walked over closely to Brock with Mia tailing behind him like a dutiful little puppy. Tilting her head, Mia asked, "What's wrong?" No one answered but Keya turned swiftly and made her way to the door, pulling Brock with her. But it was too late.
Laying back casually in his seat, he noticed some people enter and turned to see whom it was. Not that he was interested, it was an impulse thing. However, when he saw who it was, a sly smile began to form. Licking his lips, he rose. "Come, Ashley, why don't we head out to greet our friends?" he said coolly. Ashley looked up at the face of her date. He had blond hair with brown highlights and beautiful blue eyes. The perfect guy. He wore a grey silk t-shirt and black pants. Ashley smirked when she saw where they were headed and got up to follow.
She herself wore a low cut red dress a few sizes too small and had a thong back. Her dress came up a bit higher than the skirt Keya was wearing previously. She had brown hair and green eyes. She wore very long, dangly earrings and even more make up than Keya. Her bright pink shoes clashed horribly with her dress and eyes. All in all, she looked like fashion chaos. Though she wore the latest designs, she'd managed to make the whole outfit look trashy. "Keya," he called out in his smooth voice, the one that most girls swooned over.
Keya stood motionless; rooted to the ground. Slowly she turned; Brock with her. As predicted, he growled and attempted to lunge at him, but Gary held him back. "Not here," he whispered into Brock's ear. Brock attempted to push him off but, while doing so, saw Mia and hesitated long enough for Gary to talk some sense into him. Then he turned to Mia and hugged the suddenly innocent, naïve little child who had taken her place. She hugged him back, fear and confusion in her eyes.
She recognised this guy. She knew him only too well. He was the very same person who kept eyeing all of the older female students and flirting with them. When he first appeared, the beginning of a whole line of rapes began. When he left, Keya took it up. That's why she could let Keya go so easily. This was what she had to put up with. Mia embraced Gary tighter and he hugged her back tightly as if attempting to protect her.
"Now now my darling sister, where on earth do you think you're going?" he asked. Keya tore her eyes away from her brother and looked in shock at his date. "A... Ashley?" she stammered, stunned. Ashley looked Keya up and down, and smirked. "You've decided to become a nun or something, have you?" she asked spitefully. Keya blushed and looked down. Misty grew annoyed, "What's with the handkerchief, skank?" she shot back angrily. Ashley turned and tugged at Jack's sleeve in a whiny manner. Jack smiled. This one was feisty and seemed edible enough. Besides, he was getting bored of Ashley. "Come now, sister dearest, introduced us to your friends," he said, looking straight at Misty with his intense blue eyes.
Mumbling the introductions, Keya still looked at the ground. Brock and Ash held each other back in case one decide to defend his sister, the other the love of his life. Spotting a familiar figure, Jack smiled evilly and walked over. He bent down, "Well now, what do we have here? A little baby girl in white. Aww, how adorable," he said, in a honey-sweet voice. Gary growled and led Mia to stand behind him. "Back off," he snarled, making Jack laugh and advance towards Misty. He gave her a dazzling smile, "And who, may I ask, is this gorgeous lady?" he asked, giving her a wink. Misty blushed, "I'm Misty, pleased to meet you," she greeted, letting herself drink in the sight so that she didn't notice her surroundings. She didn't notice the guys and Ashley seething with anger. She didn't notice Keya and Mia scared to death. All she noticed was the cutest guy she'd ever laid eyes on. In hopes of getting attention, Ashley stormed out of the restaurant and slammed the door behind her. When no one noticed, she stormed away, no one even noticing her disappearance.
Finally Ash walked out as well, not bearing to see Misty with another guy. Brock followed, fists clenched. Gary sighed and took Keya by the hand, leading her out the door slowly, still keeping Mia close as if she would vanish if he let go. Jack and Misty took no notice. They went and sat at Jack's previous table to talk for most of the night.
By the time they got back to the hotel, the wind had cleared their minds and woken them up. Mia had returned to her old self and Keya could walk on her own. Offering Mia his jacket, Mia shook her head violently, pretty much forcing Keya into accepting it. She did, grateful of the child for a change. When Gary saw Mia shiver, she stubbornly refused to admit that she was cold. Upon entering the hotel, however, Gary could see that Keya still looked pale from the ordeal and Mia looked ill. Still, he kept silent; afraid of any sort of outburst either girl might make if questioned.
Picking up their pokemon at the daycare the hotel provided, they returned to their room silently. Inside, however, was filled with anger and yelling. Mia groaned, "Oh man, why does he have to choose today to throw a tantrum?" she said in annoyance. Keya stared at her and nodded blankly. Gary had already gone inside so the girls followed him.
"What?" roared Ash, "You mean to tell me you let me walk out of that door while Misty was still there with a rapist?" Brock nodded tiredly, "What else could I do? Encourage you to throw a few punches?" he demanded. When the other three walked into the room, Ash started on them too for not staying with Misty. "Just stop, please stop," whispered Mia, tears rolling down her face, hands covering her face. She felt ill and tired and Ash wasn't helping with her headache. Keya just let him yell at her while she stared blankly into space, clearly not hearing a word he said.
Finally, Gary couldn't take it. "Ash! Shut up, all right? You were the one who lost Misty. You were the one who left first. Ok? So don't go blaming us!" he bellowed angrily. Ash blinked, amazed at the sudden turn of events. He wilted and sunk to the ground, looking as if life was lost. Misty chose this time to walk in.
As she stepped in, Misty stopped and looked around. Gary was trying to comfort Mia, Brock was trying to revive Keya and Ash had turned to face her. His eyes were blank and his face was pale and daunted. Not that she noticed. Her amazing evening with Jack completely blinded her to all else. "Am I interrupting something?" she asked. "Not waiting for a reply she added, "Oh, well, sorry," and glided into the bathroom humming.
Keya froze at the sudden change in Misty's attitude. This was the work of her brother all right. He could make miracles happen. But he only worked miracles for one reason. To shatter them. She looked up at Brock. He was talking, she could see his lips move and the worry in his face. But she was beyond help now. She couldn't hear a word he said.
She stood, "Shut up already, I'm fine," she said, her sarcastic sneer plastered on her face. "You know, Ashley's right, I think I am turning into a nun. Guess I better get changed," she said, throwing back her head and laughing. Then, she grabbed one of her new outfits and got changed, not even bothering to go to the bathroom. She saw Brock staring at her in disbelief, and smirked. "Like what you see?" she purred suggestively. Brock stared at her coolly, "No, just amazed at what a bitch you can be," he shot back before walking out and slamming the door. She glared at his retreating back and looked at Mia. She was shaking and frightened. Keya felt a pang of sadness but pushed it away, walking out as well. 'This is the real me,' she told herself, 'I'm not some goody two shoes, I'm Keya. I'm a player and I love it.' But something at the back of her mind kept nagging her, 'Are you? Are you really?'
Gary looked from Ash to Mia, Mia to Ash. He sighed in annoyance and walked over to crouch in front of Ash. "Look Ash, you're the one who messed up. Now she wants to go off with some guy she doesn't even know. Are you really going to let her do that? Are you going to let her walk out that door tomorrow to meet some rapist?" he demanded. Ash stared at him. His blank look seemed to dissolve in anger. He jumped up to his feet, "If he dare lay so much as a finger on Misty I'll..." he roared. Gary put his hand on Ash's mouth to shut him up. "Stop acting like a jealous ex boyfriend then," he hissed, "You're no longer that anymore in her mind, got it? She won't listen if you act like that. Instead, act like a concerned friend, if you're even that anymore, got it?" Ash tried to struggle free but he eventually calmed down to consider what Gary said. Defeated, he gave a nod and Gary let him go to tend to Mia.
((Heyya!! Melinda, it's not my fault we get the same ideas. I'd just like to point out I invented Crystal before you and Keya was a one off thing. Plus, she was created when we started the arguing and back then I didn't even know you wrote! Ok? Finished.
Ash's sister is named MIA and Keya's brother is named JACK. Sorry, it took me until a few days ago to realise I wrote Jack and Jake for the same guy... Sorry!!))
They all gasped in awe. The restaurant was enormous and was obviously very classy.
