Chapter 15: Mistake
Brendan continued to stare at her, dumb founded, astonished, disbelieving. The words, I like you continually repeating in his head.
They were childhood friends. When he was a child, he always thought that their future was friends. Forever friends. But alas, love took its toll, and fate chose a completely different direction.
Emotions come in countless different shapes and forms. Forever changing, forever blooming, or forever wilting. Some deepening, while some continue to move further apart.
Emotions could bloom into something beautiful that only the two people share, or perhaps, turning into only negative feelings of hatred for the other.
It's the path you choose, however, what's meant to be will find a way. Always.
She looked so serious, her eyes filled with truth. A deep, violet abyss that Brendan became entranced and lost by. Somehow, he now viewed her in a different light, his heart no longer in its state of denial. She seemed so much more beautiful, like a graceful swan in its peak of radiance. As white as snow, untainted and pure.
He had made a mistake. He had not loved May, but had loved Kimberly all along, cloaked away behind a wall of denial. He had made his decision. There were two choices. Two that lead to completely different paths, and could change everything.
"I like you too" he muttered, as he pulled her into a warm embrace. Her violet eyes shimmering with happiness as she returned the hug.
They both stared into each other's eyes, sending each other signals. He then pulled her into a soft, tender kiss.
May sighed contented at the romantic scene. Her 'best friend' had finally found love, like she had. She touched her lips slightly, a blush immediately appearing. She was embarrassed to admit it, but she yearned for more.
She slapped herself. She had fallen for him. Definitely. She had her future set out, it was so clear, it was supposedly meant to be. But everything changed, little by little, by small actions filled with emotion.
She didn't know what to do to simply say. The future was a mess, unclear and vague. It was like going through a maze with no exit, walking round in circles, in complete darkness.
She immediately wiped her thoughts away. She wouldn't worry about it. She would just go with the flow of what 'fate' had installed for her. She chuckled to herself.
She had adapted to Kimberly's spying habits. I hang around her too much…thought May.
"Probably she'd be saying awww why didn't I bring a camera to catch a golden moment!" said May, mimicking Kimberly.
She began to burst into fits of laughter. May realized fate's changes. She'd found love. She'd made a best friend. She could now laugh away her worries about lack of money.
"Fate… is a strange and confusing thing…." murmured May, as she crept away from her hiding spot, and began to walk back to the castle, continuing her chores as a maid.
However, she walked pass the large cherry blossom tree, immediately remembering Masquerain and Beautifly. She hurriedly climbed up the tree, and was met with a stunning sight.
8 tiny little wurmples squirming around in the nest, all wiggling closer to their mother and father to be fed.
"They're so cute" murmured May, as one crawled onto her shoulder, nuzzling her neck.
However, it lost footing as it was still young and starting to fall. May immediately grabbed for it, but was too late, as her face contorted into horror. However, a pink blur ran from behind the tree, catching it on its back.
"A-a cat!" exclaimed May, as she climbed down from the tree.
The sight that beholded her was the pink creature chasing it's tale. "C-cute" she exclaimed as she walked over.
She examined the wurmple, which was unscathed. "Thank you" she muttered to the creature.
Skitty sounds like a name suitable for it… hopefully I get it right ! thought May.
"Is your name.. Skitty?" she questioned as the Skitty turned to face her. "Nyaa!" it responded, leaping into her arms. May beamed as she placed the wurmple on her shoulder.
She then, climbed the tree, placing the wurmple into its rightful home. Realization hit her when she stared at Masquerain.
"I have to tell Drew" she murmured, as she took off to find him.
Drew watched the clouds from the large, arch window of his room. He had thought of countless reasons to convince his parents, but all of them seemed to end in failure.
"I guess the best thing to tell them would be… how I feel about her… words of the heart…" he muttered, immersed in his thoughts.
Suddenly, he heard his door slam open. He whirled around immediately to face none other than May. He immediately blushed, touching his lips, remembering what happened the other day.
May, in her state of excitement, forgot about what happened in the other day. "Drew! Come, I want to show you something!" she exclaimed as she grabbed his hand and began dragging him to the cherry blossom tree.
He blushed crimson at the sight of their entwined hands. "Where are we going?" he questioned.
"You'll see" she responded.
They arrived at the foot of tree, May climbing up first. She climbed up to the branch that held the nest, and signaled for him to follow. He climbed up in pursuit, shocked to see the sight.
His Masquerain.. her Beautifly… wurmple….. it added up to be……parents and children!
Drew's outer façade immediately faded, softness over taking him. "They're cute…" he murmured, petting them.
May beamed, able to see the true Drew behind the icy façade. "Let's name them!" suggested May, as Drew nodded.
They began to become engrossed in their naming spree, laughing and having a good time.
There was the usual 'No! I hate that name' , 'No, you can't name this cute one Bob!' , 'I like this one… let's name it Wiggly!' , 'No, Wiggly is too girly, and as you can see this is a boy!'
And so, it took quite a while for them both to agree on 8 names, however, they loved every minute of it. It gave them a chance to talk naturally, to bond. They were acting just like first time parents.
They forgot about their worries, happiness radiating from then. I hope things can always be this way and last….they both thought.
Sorry for the filler-ish chapter! I just wanted to answer some of the questions that I left hanger in previous chapters…
And, I also answered Kimberly and Brendan's relationship :D
The next chapter will continue on with the actual plot where Drew asks his parents .
Tune into the next chapter!
