Twisted Realities

Authoress Notes: Okay, as of now, since I'm brimming with complete inspiration, I've decided to update. I believe my formatting will be changed, as I've started to use another word processor instead of my usual WordPad. Plus, it tended to tick me off. But if my hunch is wrong, it'll still be the same. –grin-
Anyway, shall we continue?
Disclaimer: Dudes, repeat after me: -says very slowly- FANfiction!See that capitalized area? It says fan! Therefore I'm a fan and not Satoshi Tajiri! Got that!

She stared blankly at the sleeping body of Brendan Birch. Then she did the only thing which came to mind.
"Ano…excuse me ma'am, but…who is the one with the antidote?" May questioned politely. (A/N: Yes, fine, I admit it. I used 'ano', which is the Japanese word for 'um…' alright!)
The doctor looked at her suspiciously, and motioned for her to come a little closer.
"Okay, I didn't want anyone to know this…but, the one who has the antidote for Cysrtaistis is…Maxie, of Team Magma," she whispered.
May was a bit taken back.
"I think I just heard you say Maxie had the antidote."
The doctor shook her head softly, "I'm sorry. That's why I didn't tell you sooner. If Maxie knows that Brendan, one of only two sworn enemies after he joined up with Archie, is suffering from the disease that he introduced, he'll never give up the antidote. I'm sorry, Ms. Maple. I know it must hurt to see your friend like this."
May wouldn't believe her, but she had to. Maxie had the antidote, and he would never give it to Brendan. He was weak, and she was going to go out of her way, try to set a deal with Maxie. Even though she knew that the likelihood of her succeeding was slim to none. But she had to take that risk. Because…she still loved him, even though he put her through that rejection.
"Well, May, we're going home now! Do you want to stay and watch over Brendan?" Mrs. Maple inquired.
May sighed, "I could just stay here. I don't want anyone to hurt Brendan by sabotaging the systems or anything like that. I'll just stay here, okay, Mom?"
May's mother smiled at her. "Yeah, it's okay. Well, we can't go here for about two days, so see you soon!"
The doctor looked at May, and sighed. "It looks like you'll stay with Brendan even through suffering, right?"
May put on a weak smile. "Yeah…I guess so," she murmured.
"In that case, I'll go get you a blanket and a pillow, okay?" the doctor smiled.
Then she exited. May got up from the couch-chair (which happened to be a guest bed in disguise) and stood up next to Brendan. She clutched his hand with her own, trying her hardest not to break down and start crying. It hurt her to see him like this, but she would stay there with him. Even though she knew he didn't feel about her the way she did about him…or a certain lie that he told to do this to her.
"Don't worry, Brendan. I'll save you," May said, and pushed the chair she was sitting in closer to his hospital bed.
She yawned, and put her arms around on the side of the hospital bed which Brendan wasn't sleeping in. She put her head on her arms, and she looked as if she fell asleep in school. She yawned again, due to her lack of sleep that day, and fell asleep on the spot.
The doctor walked in and found May sleeping. She smiled, and walked over to the girl, placing a pillow under her arms and a blanket on top of her.
The doctor whispered, "Good luck, Ms. Maple. You're going to need it."
She snickered, as she put on a Team Aqua bandana, and walked out of the darkening hospital.

A/N: -coughs- Jeez, this took me a while. Anyway, this gives a new twist to the story, right? Anyway, you should be happy I'm updating! –grins-
