May: "Hey!"
Me: "Spit out!!"
Drew: "Spit out what? (enters the room as well)"
Me: "Well, we've been waiting for a week or so; what happened when I said get a room"
May: "We got a room..."
Me: "And?? (Sparkling eyes)
Drew: "There has nothing happened if you want to know that badly"
Me: "Ow... (really depressed) and I thought I had done something right for once; so what did happen"
May: "Well as I said we got a room..."
Drew: "We stayed there, as you suggested..."
May: "But it became really boring...
Drew: "So we left..."
Me: "Boring huh?"
Drew: "Oh now, not that face again; she's up to something again"
Me: "You bet I am; but first the chapter. You know it's the same stuff but I'll repeat it one more time..."
May: "Riikani doesn't Pokemon or any of the characters, except those of her imagination..."
Drew: "And don't flame her because of her crappy English, it's not her native language..."
Me: "Flames will be used for the barbecue, please review"

Chapter 15; Didn't you realize all along?
"Sora can I ask you something" Drew asked.
It was morning already and they continued crossing the mountain.
"Sure, what is it?" she asked.
Drew frowned; "Why do you care so much about me, by insisting I tell my past to you?" he asked. May avoided his look.
"Because I know you are hurt and talking about something often soothes the pain" she answered.
Drew chuckled; "You're the one to talk; you better spit it out as well then" he said as a response.
May looked at him; her mouth slightly open. Drew's face turned serious; "Don't give me crap about talking about something. It's not been that long since you've got that scar right?" he asked.
May shook her head; "No, I have had it for about 2 and a half years now" she said softly.
"What happened" Drew asked.
"I don't want to talk about it (A/N couchhypocritecough)" May said as she turned her face away.
"That's no fair" Drew commented; "talking about something often sooths the pain right?" he quoted her earlier statement. "Why would that go for me, but not for you?"
May looked at the slowly rising sun; "Because there are so many people involved in this; and so many people's pain" she said.
Drew stopped; "There us something else; a professor in Geren said you might be the only one able to tell me where May is; but you said you didn't know where she was..."
May shook her head; "No, I said Max didn't know where she was"
Drew frowned as he felt his heart jumped up. "You know where she is then?"
May looked at him and for the first time she completely didn't feel like May anymore but as Sora, a girl with no history.
"In a sort of way, yeah I guess I do. But I'm afraid I've lost her" she said.
Drew closed his eyes; "You don't know where she is then? Or what happened to her?" Drew sighed; "It would be too good to be true anyway"
May sighed as well; "She is where you would expect her least, once you know where that is; you'll also know what happened to her"
Drew bit back a yell of frustration; "A riddle?! That's the only thing you can give me?" he asked.
May shook her head; "I guess I can't lie to you anymore; after you've been so honest with me" she said and raised her step, as if walking faster would make her disappear.
Drew stood still in shock; though it was a pleasant shock. Sora would, could tell him where to find May.
May took a deep breath; "Too bad though; you've been a few times so close without realizing" she sighed and slowly lifted her hand to her head;
"...and yet you didn't realize..."
She pulled of her wig; still not facing Drew. Her chocolate brown hair came from underneath it. May heard Drew gasp, and turned half around;
"...that my name isn't Sora..."
"May" Drew whispered. To him it looked like an angel had appeared right in front of him, as the light of the sun surrounded her.
No, an angel would be easier to believe.
"Why did you...where have..." Drew wanted to ask so many things. But right that moment a cloud blocked the sun as May turned to face Drew completely
The light was now cold and dark; just as the atmosphere, and May could see the horror in his eyes.
"I've been in the hospital Drew, recovering and I guess…probably hiding" she answered his unfinished question.
Drew was incapable of saying anything smart; he could only stare at her and ask the first question that popped up in his mind; "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked hoarse.
May grinned ironically; "Because I was afraid of how you would react; and I feared for a reason it seems; your reaction was exactly as I had thought" she said.
"I'm sorry Drew; but forget about me, please. I'm nothing more than a bit of faded glory" she said harshly and walked away.
Drew was one moment too stunned; too shocked to move. He only stood there.
It slowly dawned on him what had happened.
While May was getting further from him; running to leave her past behind, Drew was too shocked to move.
First the girl who had convinced him she was Sora; was actually May.
Second; all the things he told Sora he had actually told May; including about he felt for her and the hurt when he had went through when she had left.
For third; she had just told him to forget about her and actually ran away from him.
Drew frowned; 'After 2,5 years I actually found her and she just tells me to forget her. I already tried that but it obviously didn't work'
He regained the feeling in his legs, and ran after May; "I won't let her slip away this time" he muttered.

Me: "KAWAII"
Drew: "(Sigh) do you have to do that every time when you think something's cute?"
Me: (glares) "Yes!"
May: "Uhm..."
(Still glaring)
May: "Uhm Riikani"
Me; "Oh yeah that's right; I was up to something!"
Drew: "Did you have to remind her May?"
May: "Not my fault! I'm not the one who pisses her off every time"
Drew: "And I do?"
Me and May; "YES!!"
Drew: "Now, with what did you come up this time?"
May: "WHY DID YOU ASK"
Me: (grins) "yeah, why did you ask?"
(Pushes May and Drew in a empty room)
Me: "And you're not getting out until you figure out what I meant by GET A ROOM!!"
Ha; silence for once. Please review!!
