Chapter 59 Conflicting Feelings [Follow Your Heart Extra: That doesn't sound good.]
Drew's POV
One Hour Later
I was walking through the streets when Dawn ran up to me.
"Hey Drew", she greeted before she noticed my mood. "Hey. Are you okay."
With that I took a deep breath.
"No Dawn", I revealed. "I'm not okay."
"What's wrong", Dawn asked.
I took another deep breath before I told Dawn the truth.
"Yesterday...I went to go talk to Ash. I told him that I liked May...and he said he liked her too."
This made Dawn look at me in shock.
"Wow", she breathed out. "That's tough."
"I'll say", I said.
"What are you going to do now", Dawn asked.
"I don't know", I replied. "I thought telling Ash would make me feel better, but I still feel like I'm suffocating and I don't know why."
"Well", Dawn started. "Maybe it's not just Ash you need to tell about your feelings." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Huh?]
"What do you mean", I asked.
It was now Dawn's turn to take a deep breath before telling me something.
"I think you should tell May how you feel." [Follow Your Heart Extra: (does spit take) What?!]
I looked at Dawn in shock.
"What", I asked. "Are you crazy?"
"Maybe", Dawn replied. "But I think it's for the best."
With that I sighed sadly.
"But what about Ash", I asked.
"Look Drew", Dawn started. "It's honorable that you're looking out for your friend, but you need to look out for yourself too."
I thought about what Dawn said before smiling at her.
"You're right. I'm going to go find May."
Five Minutes Later
I ran up to May.
"May", I yelled getting her to look at me.
"Drew", she said. "What's up?"
"I have to tell you something", I revealed.
"What is it", May asked.
With that I interlocked May's hands with mine.
"I...I...I like you May. And not as just a friend. I like you way more than that."
This made May look at me in shock.
"Drew", she started. "I..."
"But", I said interrupting May. "I know you like Ash. I just...I had to tell you."
May looked at me sadly before she gave me a hug.
I smiled.
Even though I knew May didn't feel the same way about me...I was happy.
One Hour Later
I was in the Coordinator classroom when May walked in.
"Hey Drew", she greeted. "What's up?"
"I'm working on this routine but I can't seem to get it right", I revealed. "Can you help me?"
"Sure", May replied.
With that we got to work on the routine.
Just as we finished the routine...Ash walked in. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Oh shi...take mushrooms! That's a line from Spy Kids by the way.]
"Ash", I said in shock.
"Oh", Ash said. "Don't worry about me. I'm just going to go."
With that Ash left.
"I've gotta go", I said to May before I ran after Ash. "Ash!"
Ash stopped and looked at me.
"I need to tell you something", I revealed.
With that I took a deep breath before telling Ash something I know he wouldn't like.
"I...I told May that I liked her."
This made Ash look at me in shock.
And then...sadness. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Oh no.]
"Oh", Ash said sadly. "I see."
"But we're not together or anything", I clarified.
"Whatever", Ash said sadly. "I've gotta go."
With that Ash left...and what Dawn said earlier flashed in my mind.
"It's honorable that you're looking out for your friend, but you need to look out for yourself too."
But is it worth it if you hurt your friend.
One Hour Later
I was in one of Ella's classes.
"Okay", she started. "I am giving you guys an assignment. I want you to perform a routine based on a certain emotion, and I need you to try and portray that emotion using purely that routine. No words! Who would like to go first?"
With that I raised my hand.
"May I go first", I asked.
"But of course", Ella replied. "Please come onto the stage."
With that I did as told.
"And what emotion will you be portraying", Ella asked.
"I will be portraying...confliction."
"Confliction", Ella said. "Can you be more specific?"
"I want to portray the emotion of being conflicted over what to do in a situation", I revealed.
"That's a difficult one", Ella stated. "But let's see what you can do."
With that I performed my routine. I put every emotion I was feeling into it.
One it was done...everybody broke out into loud applause.
"That was brilliant Drew", Ella praised. "It's as if you were actually feeling the emotion!"
Because I was.
HotXbun: Poor Drew.
Challenge: Tell me what you think Drew should do.
My Answer: I don't know! I want him to be happy, but I want Ash to be happy too!
