Complicated Love

Chapter Four

Ash woke up at 6:00, since he had went to sleep quite early. Ash stretched his arms, as he lifted himself out of bed. Suddenly, his stomach growled. Ash then remembered he didn't have dinner last night! Ash quickly rushed down, hoping to find any leftovers from last night. I mean, how can Mom eat all the food fit for three people. Anyway, Ash got to the kitchen, to find his Mom cooking breakfast. Delia turned round and was surprised that Ash was up so early today. But, her surprise went away, as she remembered Ash went to bed early last night.

"Good morning Ash!" Delia said, "I thought that you might come down early to eat last night's leftovers. So, I made you a warm breakfast."

"Oh…thanks Mom!" Ash said, hugging his Mom. Delia hugged back and released him, since the eggs were ready.

"No problem, now Ash, just sit down," Delia said, taking her son to the table, " and be prepared for a breakfast."

"Ok Mom," Ash said, "Thanks again!" Delia put eggs, sausages and bacon on the plate, then placed it in front of Ash. Ash grabbed his fork and knife and started to eat the things on the plate. In 30 seconds flat, the food disappeared into his stomach. Ash took the plate and pleaded for another plate of food. Delia took the plate and filled it up with food. In 10 minutes, 30 plates of food was in his stomach. Delia wondered how Ash never seemed to get any fatter. Delia shrugged it of, as May entered the kitchen. She was looking quite famished. Delia sighed and started to make some food for May, even if she didn't even like her. Delia decided to go to sleep after May had breakfast. But by the time May finished, the doorbell rang. Delia then realised that she arrived. Before Ash could answer the door, Deli was already there. Delia opened the door, revealing Duplica. She was wearing a peach coloured dress, with flowers on it. She was also wearing matching shoes. On her face was a warm smile. Ash, of course, being a good friend of Duplica, gave her a kiss on the cheek, before embracing her in a hug. May got jealous and thought of the wrong thing. She thought Ash loved her. May ran up the stairs to her room. Ash released the embrace and noticed May wasn't standing where she was a second ago.

"Where's May?" Ash asked, "She was here a second ago."

"I have no idea, maybe she went upstairs," Delia said.

"Oh ok…anyway, Duplica, why are you here?" Ash asked, "Why are you in Kanto?"

"Your Mom said I could come and visit," Duplica said.

"Oh did she?" Ash said, "Mom, can I speak to you in the kitchen for a second…"

"Ok, be right back," Delia said, before she was dragged into the kitchen.

"Why did you ask Duplica to visit?" Ash asked.

"I told her to visit while you were in Hoenn," Delia lied.

"Is that so?" Ash said, "Then you won't mind if I asked, or would you?"

"Not at all…" Delia said, as she told Duplica why she wanted her to visit. Ash went back to Duplica and asked her if she was told by Delia to visit a while ago.

"Yeah, when you left for Hoenn, I phoned her to talk to you, but you weren't there. But your Mom said I could visit soon." Duplica said, lying through her mouth.

"Oh…be back in a sec…" Ash said, running back to the kitchen, where Delia was still standing, "Sorry about not trusting you Mom. I had a crazy idea that this was a plan to make me break up with May."

"It's ok Ash," Delia smiled, " Anyway you better get back to Duplica and show her around the house. Then show her Pallet Town."

"All right, Mom," Ash said, thinking how Duplica will like Pallet Town, "I'll see you later then!"

"Later then," Delia said. Ash ran out of the kitchen door and back to Duplica, who was quietly waiting for him.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting," Ash apologised, "I had to deal with something. Anyway, do you want a tour around the house?"

"Yeah, that be great," Duplica smiled.

"Ok, let's go," Ash said, "Let's finish before lunch ok?"

She nodded. Ash showed Duplica from the first floor to the second floor. He finished touring Duplica around before 11am. It took him a few hours because Ash kept on showing her everything. Such as his trophies, medals and his old video games, that he loved playing when he was a kid. Before Duplica knew it, Ash had raced back downstairs to have a snack. Duplica rolled her eyes and followed suite.

Meanwhile, a certain someone was crying in her room…

May sobbed into her wet pillow again, after having the thought of Duplica and Ash together. She kept asking the same two questions: Does Ash love me? and Does Ash love that…that…girl? It hurt her head thinking about it. Her eyes were as red as blood and her hair was a mess. It looked like she got into a fight.

"I can't let anyone see me like this…" May managed to say. May got up from her bed and walked to the door. She unlocked it carefully and before she even knew it, she was racing out and into the bathroom. May was relieved as she locked the door behind her. Within ten minutes, May had wiped her face and brushed her messed hair. Just in time, as Ash called out, "Hey May, it's lunch! Come on down and have some sandwiches.

May replied, "Ok, be right down!"

"Ok, hurry up!" Ash said and the voice was no longer heard. Before going down May checked her eyes to see if they weren't red anymore. Thankfully, the eyes weren't red now.

"Ok May, keep cool…" May breathed out, before unlocking the bathroom door and walking down the stairs. May got to the kitchen to find Ash eating some sandwiches. Duplica wasn't in and either was Delia. 'This gives me a good chance to talk to Ash' May thought, before sitting down by Ash.

"So Ash, tell me, do you have any feelings for Duplica?" May asked.

Ash stared, "Why are you asking me that?"

"Cause you sorta hugged her when you saw her…" May answered.

"What! You think I like Duplica?" Ash shouted, loud enough for Delia and Duplica to hear.

"Well, yeah," May said, "I mean, you don't usually see someone kiss someone in front of your girlfriend!"

Now, Ash was angry by now, " How can you think that? Duplica's an old friend of mine and there is nothing wrong with giving a friendly kiss on the cheek, is there?"

"There is, to me it does! Don't you love me?" May shouted out.

"Of course I love you!" Ash shouted into her face.

"Then don't do it again then!" May said.

"Fine, then I won't be your boyfriend if you boss me around," Ash said, "I should have gone for Misty…"

"What did you just say?" May asked with a angry tone.

"Nothing! Just leave me alone!" Ash spat out into her face, before taking a few sandwiches and pounding upstairs to his room. Then the room door banged shut. It was so loud that it could heard all round Pallet Town. The citizens of Pallet kept on wondering who made that loud noise. All of a sudden May heard a shout, "Ash you ok?"

"Are you alright?" Another person said. May raced out of kitchen to see Delia and Duplica running up the stairs to Ash's room. May heard the door open and shut after. May then realised that because of this argument, they might break up. May ran upstairs and got to Ash's room. She banged on the door loudly, but no one answered. So instead she looked through the keyhole. All she could see was Delia and Duplica. 'No point looking at them…' May thought, and placed her ear on the keyhole, to listen to what they were saying.

Delia was saying, "See? I told you that your relationship with that girl will end quickly!"

"Yeah, I wouldn't trust her if I were you!" Duplica added.

"I don't know what to do ok!" Ash said. Was he sobbing?

"It's fine. I know someone worth you instead that…that girl!" Delia said.

Ash's face lifted up and turned to Delia, "Really? Who?" May could see his face now. His messy hair was more messed up, his eyes were really red and his face had turned pale. Are these signs that he cares for her?

Delia spoke out, "There are all kinds of people Ash! Like Duplica here or Misty..."

"Maybe…but no one will be like May. She's a one of a kind person!" Ash said. 'He still likes me! But why?' May thought. Suddenly the door unlocked and it was opened. In a few seconds, she was no longer in front of the door, but instead, she was standing in front of Ash.

"May…" Ash whispered.

"Ash…" May whispered back.
