May was excited to get home, impatient to tell Gary that 'The Brendan Birch' was now her boyfriend. After work, she went straight home, ignoring her officemates who asked if she wanted to grab a drink, coffee, or dinner with them. For the first time in months, she wanted to see her lazy—ass-brother.

When she walked up to her door, she heard yelling. One voice was obviously Gary's, but other was surprisingly Leaf's.

She went in and she was right. Gary was standing at one side of the apartment. Leaf on the other. Both were searing with anger.

"Why do you get to the keep the car?" Gary growled, in frustration.

"Because I bought it!" Leaf yelled back.

Gary gave her a look of disbelief, "I BOUGHT IT! Not you!" He yelled back.

"It was in MY name!"

"Because I bought it for YOU!"

"Yes, meaning I OWN it!"

Gary growled and threw his hands in the air in frustration, and anger. "You already got the house, why can't you just give me the fucking car?!" He snapped at her.

"Guys?" May finally spoke, trying to maintain composure.

"Because you received most of the money!" Leaf argued back.

Gary scoffed, and shook his head at her, "So, this is all about money, now? Well, I can't say it was my fault. You were the one who joined our accounts together." He said, painfully.

She sneered at him, "That was when we promised to share everything including love—which, I-I don't feel for you anymore." She looked away from him.

Gary froze at that sentence. His face went pale, and he suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and the expression he wore on his face was unreadable. "Then marrying me was a mistake too, huh?"

Leaf didn't answer him, she avoided all eye contact with him.

Gary scoffed again, "Right. Can't say what you really feel, now huh? Have fun with the car, Leafy." He told her bitterly, grabbing his coat and walked out, passing May and slammed the door.

Tears streamed down Leaf's face, and she let out a scream of agony and walked out herself, also passing May, not even giving her a single glance.

And in that moment, May could tell that things wouldn't be the same. She felt like she lost both of them in her life, even though Gary's her brother. She was honestly caught in utter shock. She's never seen Gary or Leaf get mad like that. And it just finally hit her like a ton of bricks that her brother and her best friend were getting a divorce. She's known it all this time, but she never wanted to fully accept it, thinking it was a fluke for the both of them. But seeing them go at it at each other, triggered that the once adorable love of Leaf and Gary, is ending. It broke May's heart. She needed someone to talk to. She needed someone to be with her tonight.

When a knock on the door was heard, breaking her out of her thoughts; May ran for it.

"Oh my Arceus!" She pulled him into a hug before he could even speak.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Drew asked, surprised to see her this way.

Tears then started to fall down May's cheeks. Drew knew that he didn't need to say anything. She just needed someone to hold her. So Drew scooped her off of her feet, closing the door with his foot and sat her down on the couch with his arms wrapped around her, cooing her gently until she calmed down.

When she finally calmed down, with just a bit of sniffles Drew had made her some hot chocolate and sat down next to her, listening to her talk.

"I mean, I always known that the divorce was going to be final. But I never—" May bit her lips. "I swear, if you saw their anger towards each other and the look on my brother's face—Arceus! I can't—"

Drew wrapped his arms around her again pulling her towards him, she nuzzled up against him and glanced up at him, with her tear stained face.

"I mean, you remember them in high school." She added. "They were so perfect and adorable and sweet and romantic. And they were best friends. I remember wishing I had a relationship like theirs. I remember adoring Gary for being such a good man in handling his girlfriend. And now—I mean, if a love like theirs can end, what about mine? Apparently the love they had in high school doesn't exist anymore. So, how can I find the love that I want." She whispered her fears, and thoughts out loud to him.

Drew kissed the top of her head gently, "May… listen to me. You are not Gary. And you are not Leaf. You will find a man someday that will love you so much, that people will want YOUR relationship. You deserve it. You deserve everything. You know what I see? I see you with the most romantic man in this world, who will tell you how beautiful you are every day, because you are. You're beautiful, May. And your heart is as beautiful as you are. You deserve what you dream of Maple. Trust me, you will get the love you deserve." He whispered to her, really, really wishing he was the man he was talking about.

May looked up at him with her sad eyes, which broke Drew's heart. "How are you so sure of that?" She asked him softly.

"Because—I just am…" He grinned down at her.

A few hours later, May woke up with her head rested on Drew's chest and his arms still wrapped around her for comfort. She must have dozed off and so did Drew. She blushed at the thought and looked out the window and saw that it was still dark.

"Shit!" She sat up abruptly, waking up Drew in the process. "Gary!" She called out and stood up walking around the apartment looking for her brother in a frenzy. She only then realized that she allowed her brother to walk around the city in a devastating state. "Gary!" She screamed again, not wanting to panic, but she was panicking.

"June, what's up?" He asked in a sleepy voice, stretching his limbs.

"What time is it?" She asked desperately.

He glanced down at his watch, and looked back at her. "Almost one in the morning."

"Gary's not here." May reported. Her face full of worry. "He's not here Drew, and he's a wreck!"

Drew stood and went up to her grabbing her shoulders lightly. "Okay, okay. Don't panic. Try calling his apartment. Maybe he just went home…" He tried to think of all the places Gary would be.

She nodded, taking in deep breathes, while Drew's arms moved down to her back rubbing circles around it. "Okay, maybe you're right I'll call him." She walked over to grab her phone and dialed his number, silently praying that Drew was right. But the phone just kept ringing and ringing until she finally got his voicemail. "Gare? Gary, you there? If you are, pick up! Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, PICK UP! GARY!" She hung up. "UGH!" She turned back to Drew. "He's not there!" She whined.

Drew frowned, "Maybe he's sleeping." He suggested.

"Trust me when I say this, he's a light sleeper!"

Drew scratched the back of his head, trying to gather his brain for thoughts. "Okay, give me his address, and any other place in the city he would go too, I'll look for him." He spoke, determined.

She frowned, "What about me?" She asked, and felt slightly degraded that just because she's the girl, she has to be the one who stays put.

"Well, he might come back here. And it would be less awkward if you were here and not me…" He explains to her.

She sighs softly, knowing he was right. "Good point…" She admitted in defeat.


She's been waiting for hours and she hadn't heard from Drew nor Gary. She checked the time, and it was already six am. If Gary wasn't back or found by seven, she'd call in sick for work. She paced back and forth in her living room, clutching her phone for dear life. She's never been this worried over he brother since he broke his arm when they were younger.

She should have gone after him when he left. But now, she just had to be too caught up with her own damn feelings. Who knows what could have happened to him? Then again; May didn't want to imagine the possibilities.

Just then, someone buzzed in. She practically ran for the receiver. "Hello?"

"Hey, it's Brendan." He spoke. "Listen, I think I have something you may like…"

She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, "Um, okay…" She buzzed him in.

May answered the door at the sound of knocking, wondering what Brendan would want or have that would like at this time of day. She found Brendan in a white muscle shirt and sweat pants at her door, with an arm around her wasted brother.

"Shit! Gary!" She reached over and helped Brendan carry him in. "Brendan, where did you find him?" She asked in desperation.

"I was taking my morning run at the park, and I found him sleeping on a bench. He had a bottle of Jack in his hand."

They both lay Gary on the couch.

She leaned over and felt his forehead and sighed softly, "He has a fever." She turned back to Brendan. "Thank you, for bringing him home. He's been gone for hours." She whispered, clutching her chest.

Brendan nodded his head at her, "Can I ask what happened?" He glanced at her, seeing her dark circles under her eyes.

May sighed again. "He and Leaf had a big fight. And—I don't. They both said some things that probably set him off." She paused, tears forming into her eyes. "I should have went after him!" She covered her face with her hands.

"Hey…" Brendan went up to her and peeled her hands off of her face, kissing both of them. "This isn't your fault." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head.

"Please." May sobbed. "I should have known that though, especially with what he is going through, all we have left is each other…"

"And he's lucky." Brendan said, trying to comfort her. "Look, the good news is, you found him. He's safe and no harm had been done."

"I guess." She shrugged. She looked up at him, "Thank you for bringing him home…" She whispered, smiling lightly at him stepping on tippy toes to wrap her arms around his neck.

"No problem." He grinned down at her.

She pecked his lips lightly, "You're my hero."

He chuckled at her. "You want some breakfast? I could pick some up."

"Yes… ugh you're a life saver." She giggled, thinking how lucky she was to have a boyfriend like him.
