Chapter 68 Forget Them [Follow Your Heart Extra: That doesn't sound good.]
May's POV
I was walking with Gary.
I was also thinking about the love letter.
"What you thinking about", Gary asked.
"Nothing", I lied. "Just that love is confusing."
"What do you mean", Gary asked.
"I'm friends with someone who likes me", I revealed. "But I don't feel the same way."
For some reason...Gary was smirking. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Jerk.]
"Is it Ash", he asked.
"No", I replied.
"Great", I heard Gary mumble.
"What", I asked in confusion.
"I mean", Gary started. "Of course it wouldn't be Ash. You saw the way he was looking at Sky earlier."
This made me stop dead in my tracks.
"What way", I asked.
"Oh you know", Gary started. "All lovingly."
This made me gulp sadly. And I had to fight the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes.
Suddenly...Gary put his hands on my face and made me look at him.
"Don't cry May", he said. "A pretty girl like you shouldn't be crying."
With that Gary kissed my forehead before giving me a hug.
"Don't worry", he reassured. "I'll help you forgot about Ash."
I just nodded. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Don't do it May!]
Ash's POV
I was rehearsing with Sky when I messed up.
"Sorry Sky", I apologized.
"You okay", Sky asked. "You seem out of it."
I was about to lie, then remembered that Sky seemed to be able to read me like a book in these type of situations.
"I decided to do something today", I revealed. "I decided not to tell May how I feel."
"Why", Sky asked.
"Drew likes her too", I revealed. "It just doesn't feel right going after a girl that my friend likes."
"I know how you feel", Sky revealed. "Once both Cora and I fell for the same guy."
"What did you do", I asked.
"We decided to both not go for him and he ended up dating another girl."
My mind immediately flashed to Gary.
"Great", I said sarcastically as I sat down.
"Didn't I tell you May's not worth all this", Sky asked as she sat down next to me. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Read chapter 65 to see what Sky is talking about.]
"She is worth all this", I stated.
"No girl is worth all this", Sky stated. "I know you like her Ash but maybe it'd be better just to forget about her." [Follow Your Heart Extra: You shut your mouth!]
"That's easier said then done", I stated.
Sky then put her hand on my cheek just like she did yesterday. [Follow Your Heart Extra: Also read Chapter 65 to see what Ash is talking about.]
"Don't worry Ash", she reassured. "I'll help you get over May."
I looked at Sky in shock before pulling my head back.
"No Sky", I said. "This feels wrong. If I got involved with you now you'd just be a rebound. And that's not right."
Sky sighed sadly.
"You're right. I won't do something like that again."
"Thank you."
One Hour Later
Sky and I plopped onto the floor in exhaustion.
"That was exhausting", I breathed out. "How do the coordinators do it?"
"No idea", Sky stated. "How 'bout you and I go and have dinner at the Pokémon Café tonight? We deserve it."
"Sure." [Follow Your Heart Extra: Oh no.]
One Hour Later
May's POV
I was working on my routine.
While I did I thought everything that had been happening with Ash.
"Actually. Is is okay if I have a friend in here with me? I'm very nervous and having a friend with me will calm me down."
"Ash. Would you come in here with me please?"
"You saw the way he was looking at Sky earlier. All lovingly."
I stopped just as Gary walked in.
"Hey May", he greeted. "I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner with tonight."
I thought about it for a moment before smiling.
"Sure. I'll go to dinner with you."
One Hour Later
I walked into the Pokémon Café with Gary...and saw something I did not want to see.
Sky and Ash on a date. [Follow Your Heart Extra: It's not what it looks like!]
One Hour Later
I was walking home sadly.
I stopped when I saw something.
It was Ash and Sky.
"Thanks for dinner tonight Sky", he thanked. "It was great!"
"She should do this again sometime", Sky stated.
With that I ran away...my heart now broken.
That Night
Ash's POV
I hung up a picture that Sky and I took at the Pokémon Café before sitting down on my bed with Andy.
"How was your dinner with Sky", he asked.
"It was great", I replied.
And then...Andy asked something that shocked me.
"Was it a date?"
"What", I asked in shock. "Of course not! What made you get that idea?"
"Well", Andy started. "When a boy and girl go out to dinner alone it's usually a date."
"Not in this case", I stated. "Sky and I are just friends."
"You sure", Andy asked.
"Dead sure", I replied.
"Okay then", Andy said. "Well. Good night. See you tomorrow."
With that Andy climbed off my bed.
I picked up my journal and started writing in it.
I'm glad I went out to dinner with Sky tonight. It helped me get my mind off of May.
I then started thinking about said person before writing in my journal again.
But now I'm thinking about her again. Great.
HotXbun: This is not good.
Challenge: Tell me what you think will happen between Ash and May.
My Answer: Hopefully they'll work everything out.
