Me: This chapter is dedicated to everyone who has lost some one they loved- cousin, brother, sister, best friend, boyfriend, anyone. It was so hard to write.

May: To answer some thing, the reason that there is so much more Ikarishipping, Oldrivalshipping, and Pokeshipping right now is because this story is getting ready for the Contestshipping Bang that happens during the play, unfortunately for me.

Dawn: This chapter may be sad, so grab some tissues if you need it. All of you who have a long-lost best friend will take this to heart. Maybe… but you are warned.

Misty: That's sad. I need a tissue.

Leaf: I know! SurferGurl14 doesn't own Pokémon!

Paul, Gary, Ash, and Drew: What the hell?

Me: Chapter 14: Worth Saving Me. Ikarishipping! Paul will be OOC

A teenage girl that was about sixteen stood in front of a brown wooden door, carrying a duffel bag. She had brownish-orange hair and she wore a green and yellow hoodie and jean shorts. She placed a smile on her face and rang the doorbell.

Misty immediately opened the door. She stood there taking in the strange girl, "Uhm, hello?"

The girl smiled, "Hello is Dawn Berlitz there?"

Misty nodded, "Yeah, hold on. DAWN!"

Dawn came running down immediately, "Yeah?"

Dawn stopped when she saw the girl at the door.

She gasped, "Leona!"

The girl, Leona, smiled. "Hey Dawn," she whispered softly, "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Yeah, it has!" Dawn said, embracing her friend. "I haven't seen you in forever!"

Leona laughed, "I planned on surprising you."

"Well it's a huge surprise!"

Misty's eyebrow twitched as the two girls laughed, "Dawn, mind explaining who this is?"

Dawn's eye lit with realization that her friends had no idea who Leona was, "This is my childhood best friend, Leona. We've been friends since kindergarten!"

Misty smiled at Dawn's enthusiasm though something seemed wrong about this girl, Misty couldn't put her finger on it though.

"Well," Misty turned to Leona, "there's a guest room upstairs that you are more than welcome to stay in."

Leona nodded in thanks and followed Dawn as Dawn led her to the room.

Just then Leaf and May walked in laughing with Zoey, Misty and Marina, who had become a part of their group.

Misty caught their attention with a snap, "Dawn's friend is staying here for a bit."

Then she turned and went upstairs leaving the other girls to look at each other in confusion.

The girls ordered take-out and May, Leaf, Zoey, Melody and Marina met Leona. But only Misty found something strange.

This girl…her smiles, her laughs-they were fake.

School was different, Dawn was a lot happier but May was angrier and was extremely fired up whenever Drew would walk by and ignore her or make an arrogant remark. Marina was adjusting to their life as Leaf, Melody and Zoey explained what had previously happened.

Everything was fine, until when Dawn woke up on a Saturday to ask Leona if she wanted to go roller skating but found the guest room empty. The bed was made up and everything was clean besides a blue bag that sat on the corner of the bed.

Dawn shuffled toward it and saw inside was a photo of Dawn and Leona that was taken yesterday and a note.

Dear Dawn, It was so great to see you again but I have to go back to Twinleaf. Sorry for the scare but it was urgent.

I love you, and miss you. Goodbye.

Love Leona.

P.S. Here's the bracelet of mine that you always loved.

Further inside was Leona's favorite bracelet that Dawn always wanted. She immediately put it on.

Well Leona was gone, but they would meet again.

Three days later, on the way back from school, Drew and May were arguing again.

"I swear I'm going to slap that smirk right off your face, Drew!" May was yelling at him.

Drew scoffed, "That's very un-lady-like but then again so are you."

Misty screamed and Drew and May immediately shut up.

Misty smiled, "Well I have to go."

Gary cracked his neck, "Where to?"

"Oh I'm helping this lady who just moved here."

Drew looked surprised, "That's very considerate of you. I bet May would never do something like that."

May glared, "Watch your mouth cabbage! I would so do something like that."

"Cabbage? How immature but then again so are you."

May had to restrain her hands from killing him right on the spot, "At least I don't use the same comeback over and over again."

"May, how naïve you are."

"I hate you Drew!"

Whenever, wherever. We're meant to be together.

All talking and arguments, courtesy of May and Drew, stopped as Dawn's cell began to ring.

Dawn picked up the phone and everyone listened to Dawn's side of the conversation. (Normal is Dawn and Bold is her mom)

"Hello?"

"Hi Dawn, its mom."

"Oh hey mom, what's up?"

"Honey, I don't know how to say this but Leona…"

"What about her?"

"Dawn, she committed suicide."

Leona…committed suicide. Her best friend since forever was gone?

Dawn's phone fell from in between her trembling fingers and tears immediately started forming in her eyes. All the girls and even the guys immediately came to her side.

"What happened?"

"Dawn?"

"What's wrong?"

But Dawn, struck with horror, slowly picked up her phone and continued to talk to her mom.

"Dawn, sweetie, I'm really sorry."

"Mama…"

"Her funeral is in a week, I give you permission to fly down here for it."

"Thanks Mama, I'll be there."

"Take care Dawn."

"Bye."

Dawn hung up and ran into the house, leaving everyone struck with worry.

Drew began to walk over to the house but was stopped by May, "Where do you think you're going?"

"To check on Dawn."

"Not in my house you're not."

"She's one of my best friends!"

May glowered, "She was mine first."

The girls rushed inside the house. Dawn's door was locked.

DAWN POV:

Leona was dead. She took her own life. She wasn't coming back.

Why didn't I see it? Her smiles, her laugh, it was all fake. She didn't want me to see her pain. But why?

The tears in my eyes fell. I sniffed and wiped my tears. I had to be brave.

I quickly threw some necessary clothes and hygienic products into a duffel bag and booked a ticket to Twinleaf Town that was leaving tomorrow.

I crossed my room and held the picture that Leona left for me. I looked up and took in a deep breath. My hand trembled and dropped the picture.

I bent to pick it up, when I noticed there was a folded piece of paper behind the picture. I carefully took it out. It was another letter from Leona, only this was her suicide letter.

Dear Dawn,

By the time you find this, I'm dead. I'm sorry but I couldn't stand it. I didn't know what to do. I felt abandoned. All the hurtful words I heard began to seem like the truth. After a while, I believed them. I was worthless. I had to meaning to this world. My world was enveloped in darkness, it was black. And I couldn't escape.

The proof that I was alive…vanished. It disappeared completely and I became invisible.

But the silence is over. And hopefully I'm at peace. But I want you to move on and live, for both of us.

I love you, you're the best friend I ever and still have.

Love, Leona.

Leona…

I'll never see her ever again. Our paths will never cross again.

My heart broke and my courage faded. I let all the tears out.

I opened the door and walked out. I needed fresh air. I found myself walking toward the park. Leona and I first met, first became friends…at a park.

I sat down on a swing and looked at the light and happiness around me.

How could these people still smile? How could they still laugh? How could the sun still shine? How could the earth still turn round? How could day still come?

On the day Leona died, why didn't the world die with her?

The day was still coming. The sun would still shine. Miracles would still happen, but Leona won't be here to see them.

The earth will still turn but without Leona.

Maybe it should turn without me.

Third person POV:

Dawn left for Twinleaf Town the next day.

Lunch was dead silent. Leaf and Misty found Leona's suicide note together and they added two and two and told Drew, who was very worried.

May forgot about everything but Dawn. She needed Dawn to come back.

May choked on her words, "I'm going to go get some water." She walked toward the vending machines.

Drew immediately walked over to the table, "How's Dawn?"

Leaf looked at the guys who followed him, "She left for Twinleaf Town last night."

Drew nodded, "She walking and talking?"

Misty bit her lip, "Walking, yes. Talking, no."

Marina nudged Drew, "Why did you come right when May left?"

Dawn rolled his eyes, "Because that bitch would have chewed me out the second I came five feet near this table."

"Is that what you think?" a voice from behind Drew asked.

Drew turned to see a hurt May.

"May…" Drew stood from the table.

She shook her head, "Forget it." May brushed past him and walked off.

Zoey scoffed, "Good going Hayden."

Drew put himself together and went after May.

Dawn stood there as Leona's body was buried. She needed to be with Leona again.

Johanna became worried as her daughter didn't eat and sat in her room and stared out the window all day.

Dawn was losing her soul, her will. Dawn was losing her life, wasting away in pain.

"May!"

May turned hearing her name but regretted it when she saw Drew running toward her.

"What?" she asked him, rather bitterly.

"I'm sorry," he choked out.

"Sorry doesn't cut it." May turned and started walking away.

Drew sighed and grabbed her hand, turning her around and he slipped a hand around her waist so she couldn't escape. "I'm really sorry."

Drew gently kissed her forehead.

"I-I forgive you," May stuttered.

"Good," Drew breathed, leaving a rose in her hand.

They walked together towards the girls' lunch table.

Upon spotting them, Gary whistled softly, resulting in a blush on May's face and a punch from Drew.

Dawn ended up coming back from Twinleaf three days early. She couldn't stay in that town, where she held so many memories. All of them turned to dark.

She was beginning to fall into a state of depression.

Misty walked into Delia's apartment, "I'm home!"

Delia was making cookies in the kitchen, "Hi Misty,"

Misty dropped her backpack on the ground and straightened her back, "So what should I do first?"

"Well I need help with the cooking; my son is coming for dinner tomorrow."

"Okay!" Misty immediately began to chop some vegetables.

"Say Misty, why don't you join us for dinner tomorrow?" Delia asked with a twinkle in her eye.

Misty pondered, "Yeah, I'll come."

"Where is Dawn Berlitz? It isn't like her to miss rehearsals," Rowan asked Paul.

Paul looked down from the professor's penetrating glare, "She's sick."

Rowan shook his head, "Then my boy, go take care of her, or something really bad might happen. We can't have rehearsals today anyway without Georgiana Darcy."

Drew and May were sitting out on campus, cutting third period. They were talking about Dawn.

They were both horrified over what happened.

Drew stared out into the distance when he noticed some purple hair, only it wasn't Paul. It was Harley, with a video camera, recording them.

May leaned against Drew, and Drew was thinking what to do. He couldn't let Harley get that footage and win, for both their sakes.

Drew moved over a little and straightened his back. May's head feel from its comfortable position on his shoulder.

"What was that for?"

"We can't do this, May."

May was shocked, "What?"

Drew swallowed his guilt, "I don't want,"

May was horrified, "What is this! Are you bi-polar or something? First you're really nice and then you turn into an extreme jerk. We were fine a week ago and then you blow up in my face over something you don't even tell me and today you're nice to me because you were being such an asshole and now, I don't even know what the hell you are. How is it with you?"

Drew fixed his stare on Harley with the video camera. Harley looked upset on where the conversation was headed.

But Drew needed it that way.

"May," Drew said pointedly, "Just go away, now."

May's face turned red with anger and she turned her heel and stalked away.

Drew watched her the whole time until she disappeared into the school. Then he went into the corridor that held his locker and punched another dent in the same locker he had last week.

"My, my. Why do you keep putting these nasty dents into my locker?"

Drew growled at the voice and turned to see Harley smirking at him.

Drew snapped. In three long strides, he met Harley, picked him up by the collar and punched him dead on in the face.

Harley grabbed Drew's next punch, "Nuh-uh now. You don't want the secret of your little crush getting out now do ya?"

Drew dropped Harley and began to walk away in anger.

Harley called out to him, "That's right Hayden. With your little secret, I'm untouchable."

Dawn's POV:

I can't do this. There's a part of me missing.

"I want to see her. I want to see Leona," I whispered to myself.

I walked out of the house and started my way towards the cliffs. I felt someone's presence behind me, but I was too much in a trance to notice.

Where are you Leona? Where can we meet again?

Maybe I should follow you.

I stood at the end of the cliffs and stared into the water. I saw Leona, she was laughing. She was beckoning me to join her.

Don't worry Leona, I'm coming.

I leaned forward and started to fall off the cliff when a hand grabbed my and hand and held me close.

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was a blur of blue and all I could smell was refreshing cologne. It was Paul's cologne.

I picked my head up and saw Paul staring at me, with his hands around me. His eyes seemed to be holding back tears.

Paul…was crying.

Suddenly I broke from my trance. I almost killed myself, but Paul saved me. May was right, maybe he does love me.

Paul's voice was cracked and rough, "Don't ever do that again."

Tears started to fall from my eyes. I hugged Paul very tight, "I'm so sorry."

I could feel Paul nodding against my head.

I held onto him tighter, "Don't leave me."

Paul locked his eyes with mine, "I don't make the same mistake twice. I'll always be with you. I love you."

My face brightened, "I love you too."

Paul picked me up and w started walking back to our houses. There was a strange silence.

"Well?" I asked timidly, "Aren't you going to ask me to be your girlfriend?"

Paul looked over at me with an annoyed expression, "I assumed the 'I love you' was asking you."

"Oh! Uhm okay!"

Paul smirked, "Troublesome girl."

I smiled, threw my arms around Paul's neck and kissed him. He wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed back, until it started to rain.

"Aw shit!" Paul yelled as he dropped me home, then he ran to his house.

I walked inside with a sincere smile on my face. I was going to heal from Leona's death and Paul would help me.

Third person POV:

"Drew, I propose a bet."

Drew sighed as Gary and Ash walked towards him, dragging Paul along.

"What is this bet for?" Drew asked.

Gary smirked, "Now that we found out Paul here, has lost the contest, I want a bet to see how long you'll last."

Ash smiled, "I got twenty bucks down for two weeks."

Gary slapped twenty bucks down on the table, "Two weeks? I give him two days!"

Paul pulled out a twenty and laid it on the table, "The play."

Drew pulled out a twenty from his wallet, "I bet that I'll not lose the contest and I'll win."

There was a silence until Drew's companions burst into laughter.

"Yeah right!" Gary wiped his eyes.

Ash shook his head, "Come on! How can you say that? I lost, Gary lost, and even Paul lost!"

Paul shrugged, "I don't care. I got the girl."

All noise stopped as the guys looked at Paul.

"No way…" Gary trailed off.

End! Sorry this was probably a really bad chapter. But in my defense it was kind of hard to write.

But anyway Ikarishipping! Paul and Dawn are now together!

Next chapter: Foreign and Familiar. Pokeshipping!

Misty goes to have dinner with Delia and her son. When Misty figures out that Delia crushed her heart, can Ash convince her otherwise? TOTAL POKESHIPPING.
