Chapter 9: Cold Shoulders and Invites
-
The morning brought about promises and contentment for many who just had days that weren't their best. And for those who woke up to not quite the best. But this day brought about a whole swirl of new things for our young heroes, both in mind and heart.
It had been four days since the team arrived in Ocean Bay Town and so far everything had gotten extremely awkward. However none knew so more than Misty and Brock as they lay in the grassy shade of a large Oak Tree next to the pier in the park.
"(sigh) this has just gotta be my worst week ever!" complained the young red head.
"Feeling awkward?" the young breeder asked.
"Very! He's been giving me the silent treatment for the past 4 days now!"
"Sucks."
"I know."
-
A moment of silence
"So what's your story?" she brought up.
He laid there in the grass with the wind blowing the grass and the sun beaming through the tree.
"I woke up Monday morning in the same bed as Kasey."
"Oh."
-
Another moment of silence
"You mean that's it?" He asked
"What…?" she sighed
"I mean you don't find it strange for me say I woke up in the same bed as Kasey?" he wondered questionably.
"Nope….just explains why you two have been acting so weird around one another."
-
And yet another moment of silence
"You know nothing happened." He confessed.
"I know.." she answered.
"How?"
"Because neither one of you have been acting giddy or glowing from an amazing experience. So I figured….nothing happened." She responded.
"Oh."
-
And yet again another moment of silence
"I got a letter from Rudy." Misty began.
"Yeah?...What'd he say?"
"Basic stuff, he misses me, hopes the plan's going swell, and he wishes me the best of luck."
"Oh….so how is it going? We almost kissed Sunday night, and he's been acting weird since."
"Sucks."
"I know."
-
Man, these people just aren't talking much are they?
They lay in the grass for a few moments more with just their presence speaking all of each others problems.
Then a soothing tune filled the air relaxing the two teens even more than they bargained for.
"Mmm what's that tune? It's so peaceful." stated Brock.
"It's the new ring tone to the cell phone Rudy got for me."
"He bought you a cell phone?" he asked suspiciously.
"Yeah….said he didn't want another episode like the other night." She answered casually.
"Oh.."
"Hello?...Yeah I'm fine….nope just relaxing…..right!...Brock? Right here next to me……..yeah he knows every thing…….really?"
This caught Brocks attention even through his lazy state.
"No I didn't know……well do you think it'll be okay? I mean it won't mess anything up will it?...Ho-……oh well……I really can't say he hasn't spoken to me since Sunday…….I'm not sure maybe for the festival…..okay great!...Yeah sure!...I'll see you then……oh and Rudy…thanks again."
"So…..what's up with him?" Brock asked momentarily.
"Nothing really, he's coming for the festival that'll take place this weekend…..he told me that this is were the plan is really set into motion." She responded back.
"Oh….." he gazed up at tree branches, hypnotized by the light that colored in the blank spaces of the leaves. The wind began to blow lightly causing the light to slowly dance. "You know Misty, this is actually pretty fun!" he said happily.
"Fun?" she questioned.
"Yeah, fun! I've watched you two grow up through the years. I've seen the commitment you two put into each other and your goals. You two were practically inseparable!" he reminisced.
"Yeah, until my sisters called me back." She remarked.
"That's when May came into the picture…along with her brother Max who seemed to taken a liking to you." He thought back while rubbing his ear. Misty caught sight of this and began to laugh lightly.
"Hahaha….I guess I am good at leaving impressions." She admitted.
"Yeah a bit too good." He pouted.
"Hahahaha! You guys must've had a blast during that journey. I've been with Ash since day one and being away from him for a whole journey makes me wonder what I missed." She confessed.
"Not much I can guarantee that! And somewhere around the end of that journey Ash became…..somewhat mature." admitted Brock.
"So I've noticed! Is that all of your great influence Brock?" she asked sarcastically.
"Yeahhhh…" he dragged. "I taught him everything he knows." He went along.
They both laughed, enjoying the moment they shared with one another. They were always able to talk openly around each other which made their friendship even stronger. As time went on they continued to talk more about their past adventures their future plans.
Right about then Ash and Pikachu were out enjoying the sea breeze throughout the town. That was the advantage of being in a town that was next to an ocean. No matter where you went in the city or town, you could always smell the ocean as if it were next to you.
Ash walked throughout the town with a depressed look hidden underneath his cap all day. His mind was troubled over the events this past weekend, and he just couldn't decide. Was it the right thing to do? Misty went along with it but was it just heat of the moment or did she really mean too? Did he really mean too? Is it going to jeopardize their friendship? Nothing ever has. But what about all the cruel things he said to her within the past week? Can she or will she ever forgive him? And if so, can they really start a relationship? But what about Kasey? Does he have feelings for her or is it just hormones? All of these thoughts ran through is mind causing him to become confused even more.
Before he knew it, we was walking through the same park Brock and Misty were relaxing in, and for some reason began to lighten up a bit from his depressing state.
"Hey look Pikachu, the pier!" Ash brought up. "Let's go over there and-"
"Noooo I can't do that to him….I care too much about him." came a feminine voice.
"That voice" Ash thought. on Misty I'm sure Ash will understand. It isn't very often that you see the guy." said a male's voice.
"That's Brock! With Misty on the other side of that tree!...But who is he talking about?" he wondered. He crept behind the large tree on which friends sat just on the other side of. He stood with his back against the cool rough bark of the tree and tilted his head so that he may hear every single word as clear as day.
"Well he's on his way now so we can't really do anything about it now." Misty confessed.
"But who?" he continued to ponder.
"My main question to you though Misty, is….Do you love him?" Brock asked.
"What?" she asked back.
"Do you love him? I mean…I don't know very many people who would go through all of this trouble and confusion just over one guy. I f you ask me, I'd say Ash doesn't know what he's missing."
She gave a small blush to his previous comment and answered back.
"Maybe, but….until he finds out I'm just gonna give Rudy a chance. Who knows? His presence just may help all the tension that's been in my heart lately."
At that moment Ash felt like his heart stopped and everything around him went black. He didn't hear much of the conversation after that, everything was dark. Misty had admitted it out in the open, she admitted that she had feelings for Rudy. After all they've been through, after all moments they've shared, after…..that night.
His eyes began to burn and he closed them tight to make the pain go away.
"Pika pika…..piii Pikachu" he tried to comfort.
"No need buddy" he said in a mellow tone and began to walk away as to not be noticed by his traveling companions.
He fell back into his dark depression state and walked back to the Poke'mon Center.
He could hear his friends laughing behind him as he walked away. He lost everything in one week. His friends trust so they have to talk behind his back, Kasey's trust since she's been acting awkward around him, and his first love
He gave a small smirk as he continued to walk off. "Funny" he thought. "I was just wondering what that moment between us that night really meant. I guess know now."
He continued to walk off as storm clouds rolled in. It was going to be a crazy week coming up soon. And he knew of the possibilities that may occur.
He arrived at the poke'mon center and went straight to his room. He didn't feel the need for TV, for food, or even to change clothes as he climbed into bed. We was heart broken and rather his mind was playing tricks on him or he was just plain desperate but he could've sworn he could smell Misty's scent in his pillow.
He turned over on his back and stared at the ceiling as tears fell from his eyes.
"How could I lose you Misty? I thought I had it all worked out. I had a plan for you to love and all back fired."
He turned to his side and continued to cry, as he thought about the girl and he lost and his plan that failed until he finally gave himself up into sleep's spell.
