Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or the song Things I'll Never Say by Avril Lavigne

Paul might be slightly OOC!!

Zoey is 18, Paul is 19

Thing's I'll Never Say is a very beautiful song. I suggest listening to it while reading it.

I wrote this in about half hour, so don't kill me if it sux.

A scarlet haired 18 year old gir looks down on her outspread palms that rested on her legs. She'd tried to tell him again.

And failed.

The girl is Zoey Bruno.

And in love.

"Why can't I just tell him?" she thought aloud fingering the acuestic guitar that sat next to her on her white comforter.

She hesitantly picked it up and held it the way someone would as they were about to play it. She strummed the strings absentmindedly.

She sighs and sings whilte guitar without realizing she even was,

"Ladatadata
ladatadatadadadatadada
dadadadada

I'm tuggin' at my hair
I'm pullin' at my clothes
I'm tryin' to keep my cool
I know it shows

I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
And I'm searching for the words inside my head"

She flashes back to earlier that day. She stood before him, him being Paul Samuels, and stared at her shoes.
Her face was burning. She couldn't find the words to speak.

She ended up making something else up and leaving.

"'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it,
you're worth it
Yeah..."

'He is worth it...' she thought sadly.

'If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say"

If she made a list of everything she would never say to Paul, she'd use up a good seven or eight sheets of paper.

"It don't do me any good
it's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
what's on my mind?
If it ain't comin' out,
we're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care?

'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it,
you're worth it
Yeah..."

He did know how she felt...

Right?

"If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I wanna see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say"

As she thought about all the times she'd tried, tears welled up in her eyes.

She didn't notice her bedroom door open as she sang the rest of the song,

"What's wrong with my song?
These words keep slipping away
I stutter I stumble like I've got nothing to say

'Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it,
you're worth it
Yeah...

I guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

These things I'll never Say..........."

The person came into her room. She looked up and gasped, immediatly looking away and wiping her eyes.

"H-Hey Paul." she stammered as he sat down on her bed next.

He shoved something into his pocket and said, "You okay?"

"Actually, no, no I'm not okay."

"What's wrong?"

Zoey hesitated, but said, "I don't know why I can't tell you what I want to."

"What do you want to tell me?" Paul asked, tracing what he had in his pocket with his hand.

"That..." she looked at the ground and lost her words. She opened her mouth but nothing came out.

'Not again...' she thought.

She tried again, but the same thing happened. She tried a different tactic.

"If I could say what I want to say I'd say
I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say," she sang quietly.

"Zoey..."

"Paul, I-" she was cut off by a pair of warm lips on hers. When Paul pulled away from her, she stood up.

"PaulIloveyou." she finally managed to say. Paul smiled and also stood up. He took both her hands.

"You do?"

"Yes."

"You know those things you'll never see?"

"Yeah, what are you- oh..." she stopped when he got down on one knee. She lost her breath as he pulled the thing out of his pocket-

A black velvet box.

The tears came back to her eyes as he opened it up.

It was a golden ring with a turquoise gem.

"Zoey, I love you. Will," Paul swallowed a lump in his throat and went on, "Will you marry me?"

Any breath or words Zoey had to begin with were gone. She was frozen. When she finally snapped out if it, she smiled, dropped to her knees, and hugged his neck tightly. He hugged her back.

"Paul... yes! Yes, a million times yes!" she cried, giving him a teary smile. Paul smiled back.

"Really?"

"Really!"

Paul took her right hand, and took the ring out of the box. He slid it onto her fourth finger from the left, second from the right. She threw her arms around him again. She cried happily into his shoulder as he hugged her back.

She said what she wanted to. Then she saw what she wanted to. And they lived happily ever after...

NOT! You really thought I was gonna end it just like that? Nope!!

Four years later...

Paul and Zoey Sameuls sit on a black couch in their house, watching their twins run around in giant circles.

One was a girl with chin length scarlet hair and black eyes named Dorinda. The other was a boy with brown eyes and short purple hair named Zachary. Both were three years old.

Paul put his arm around his wife's shoulders and held her close to him. She nuzzled his side and sighed contently.

The radio was playing in the background. Paul heard it and smirked.

"What?" Zoey asked, seeing his face.

"I seem to remember a certain night with this song playing." he answered.

It was called Things I'll Never Say.

Zoey smiled.

"You know what? I saw what I wanted. I said what I wanted. Because I did, I've got this great life. I love you, Paul." she said.

"I love you, too."

They listened to the song, remembering their times as younger teenagers. Zoey felt near tears from all the memories.

This, was definatly her good luck song.

The End.
