WARNING: Attempted suicide in this chapter. If you like Serena, this chapter might upset you.

(Max's POV)
Now was the totally pointless fight between my sister and Serena. If Serena just wants a boyfriend so bad, she could come to me. I would treat her like she is royalty.

"How many Pokémon?" May asked.

"Two each seems fine," Serena said. I really wanted Serena to lose, so May could end up with Ash and I could have Serena myself. "Delphox, I choose you!" Serena shouted.

"Venusaur, I chose you!" May yelled. Oh no. Grass types are weak to fire types, and May forgot that, so Serena was easily going to win. She couldn't send out Blaziken, since it was also a fire type.

"Delphox, use Fire Spin!" Serena yelled. I had to do something to save Venusaur, so I jumped in front of it before it could be hit.

"Max! Are you alright?" I heard May ask, before blacking out.

(May's POV)
We were at the hospital, and Max finally woke up.

"What happened?" Max asked.

"While fighting Serena, she made her Delphox use Fire Spin, and you jumped in front of my Venusaur to save it," I explained through tears. "You could've died, Max!"

"It's okay, May. I forgive Serena, because I could never stay mad at her. Plus I was defending you." Max said.

"You love Serena, don't you?" I asked, laughing.

"Don't say that," Max was furious. "Okay, fine, sis. I do love her. I want you to win so you'd end up with Ash and I could have Serena."

"Aw, thanks!" I was flattered. Just then, Serena came running in.

"May, I apologize! I really didn't mean to do this to Max! Please forgive me, I really would never hurt a 10-year-old kid." Serena was crying what I thought were fake tears. "May, I'm really sorry! I'll let you have Ash, without a battle. I can take it."

"Serena, you're lying!" I shouted.

"No, I'm sorry!" she replied. Serena ran out crying, thinking I believed her.

(Serena's POV)
I was actually sorry for what happened to Max, but May didn't believe me. All I wanted was for all of this to end. I wrote a letter for Max, May, and Ash before running away.

Dear May, Max, & Ash,
I know I caused lots of trouble. I regret what I did. The best thing for me to do is stopping myself before I can hurt anyone else. That's why I decided to write this letter to you guys. It'll probably be the last you hear of me. By the time you try to find me, I'll already be dead. That's right, I'm committing suicide. I know that I'm a nuisance to you guys, so I'm taking care of it. Ash, I actually know you pretended to like me, and how dare you do such a thing. When I'm dead, I'll haunt you and make you wish you actually liked me. Anyways, I hope Max recovers soon. I don't want to hurt anyone else May loves dearly, so consider this a favor, May. I should've done this a long time ago. But please, forgive me of what I did. I'm protecting you, Max, and I love you more than you'll ever know. It sounds crazy but it's true.

I slipped it under the door of the room Max was staying in.

(Max's POV)
I found something under the door, and made May get it since I wasn't allowed to get up.

"It's from Serena," I said before reading it. It was a letter saying that Serena was committing suicide, all because she had hurt me. I cried, staining the letter.

"Wow, I'll never look at Serena the same again," Ash & May said at the same time.

"Guys, we have to find her," I told Ash & May.

"But it says when we try to find her, that she'll be dead. How do we go stop her?" Ash asked. I jumped out of the hospital bed.

"We're going to prevent her from killing herself, duh!" I snapped. Then I slapped Ash.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"Hating a perfectly innocent but troubled girl," I said.

"So where should she be?" Ash pondered.

"There's a cliff near here. It's know as Suicide Hill since so many people jump off it. She should be at the cliff." I explained, still crying.

"But Max, will you be alright? Your burns are fatal, and most of your left leg was burnt off." May worried.

"May, I'll be fine. Get some crutches and sneak me out of here. I'm not leaving Serena, the one I love, for dead!" I exclaimed.

(Ash's POV)
We went to the cliff, and saw Serena there, about to jump off.

"Serena, stop it!" Max yelled. She turned around, and walked up to Max.

"Max," she was blushing like crazy. "I'm protecting you,"

"No, Serena, you can't do this. I won't be able to enjoy life without you. I barely know you, but you're just so nice and pretty, no matter what anyone says." Max told her. Serena hesitated before responding.

"Really, Max?" she asked. Max nodded. "I won't do it, then. May, do you forgive me? You too, Ash?"

"I forgive you, Serena. I was just worried about Max, and was willing to blame anything for what had happened. I'm sorry this whole thing started. It was all because of some petty love triangle, and I don't care anymore." May said.

"I'm sorry, too, Serena. I used to think you would replace May, and I became sour at you for the very thought. But now I will look at you differently." I apologized. Serena wiped the teas from her face, and smiled. "Wait, May, what did you mean love triangle?" I asked.

"Uh, I kinda fought Serena so I could date you," she explained nervously. "Also, I might have a crush on you,"

"It's okay, May, I have a crush on you, too," I said, kissing her on the cheek.

"So, Serena, wanna go out or something?" Max asked. Serena never responded.

Now that we forgave her, all was well. I discovered that Serena was actually very funny and nice, and I should've given her a chance.
