And we're back. Let's continue our story…

Paul slowly took out a picture from his bag inside the tent. The picture had two people in it, cuddling each other; one was Paul while the other was a girl. Also in the picture, was Paul's Turtwig. The girl's name was Lea. She had light green hair, and brown eyes but the feature on the picture that stood out the most was her smile. And yes, Paul had thought that her smile was beautiful too; and maybe even more than Zoey's…

"No, I gave Zoey my word. I won't leave her for anything… Not even for her…"

Just then, Zoey had started to unzip the tent and Paul had quickly hidden the pictured back inside his bag. Zoey opened the flap of the tent and came in.

"Hey Paul… Is something wrong?" Zoey asked as she took a seat beside him.

Paul ignored her question and began to straighten out his sleeping bag with a big frown. Instead of Zoey being angry at Paul for ignoring her question, she became more concerned.

"Paul… you know you can tell me anything right…?"

Paul gave out a sigh before he turned around to face Zoey.

"Alright, I'll tell you what's been bothering me IF, you promise not to get upset."

Zoey was a confused at his request but decided to go along with it.

"Alright, I promise." she said while looking into his eyes.

"Let me see… it goes way back…" Paul started.

Sorry to cut you off short there. I'll be posting the story between Paul and Lea in the next chapter.
