Chapter four: Problems
"So how much longer do you think they'll take?" asked Drew.
Everyone was sitting at the table except Dawn and Kenny.
"Oh Drew, you know Dawn. She probably lost track of time fixing herself up," said May.
"I do know Dawn." Dawn lived in Sandgem Town until secondary three. Dawn and Drew have been best friends since secondary one. "Dawn is still later than she would normally be…" (A/N: Hi :). In case you're wondering, secondary 1-5 is high school where I'm from. Secondary one is grade 7 and secondary five is grade 11 and it ends there. Since I'm not used to the whole grade 7-11, and 12-for everywhere else (the system that everyone else has), in this story (as well as others), high school grades will be referred to in secondary's, and now you know. But in case you are confused, PM me, I'll be glad to clarify it… better.)
"Maybe something came up?" suggested Ash.
"Maybe…" answered Drew who was looking outside the window near their table and thinking to himself.
Five minutes of waiting later.
*ringggg… rinnngggg*
"It's Dawn," Drew announced as he picked up, "Hello?"
"Hey Drew, listen, tell Misty that we're sorry, but we can't make it."
"Why not Dawn?"
"It's complicating. We'll talk later?" Dawn hung up.
"Will they be here soon?" asked Misty.
Drew stared at his phone for a bit, "… she isn't coming."
"Why not?" asked Ash.
"I… don't know," Drew said, and then he proceeded to walk out of Everly.
"Drew!" May yelled after him. May followed Drew outside.
"Drew! Drew what's wrong? Where are you going?"
"Something's wrong with Dawn."
"Okay…"
"So I have to find out what."
"Are you serious? You're leaving me for her?" May was annoyed at the attention Dawn was getting from her boyfriend.
"No! May, I'm not leaving you. And there is nothing going on between Dawn and I, we're just friends, and that's all it'll ever be. I like you May, not her, you, alright!"
"Then why are you going to see her now."
"May, something is wrong with my best friend, and I need to find out what happened, hence the term best friend. And if this were the case with Misty, you would have done the same."
"Misty is not a boy Drew."
"NOTHING IS GOING ON BETWEEN DAWN AND ME!" Drew was getting mad. "Jeez May, a little trust can't hurt that much."
May just stared at him.
"May, I swear! Afterwards I'll make it up to you alright, I'll come see you."
"Promise?"
"Promise," Drew said as he kissed May softly. "I got to go now."
And with that, he got into his car and drove off to Twinleaf Town.

*ding dong*
Dawn opened the door, "Drew? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at Everly with everyone?"
"Supposed to, yes."
"And you're here…" Dawn raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
"Why~?"
"You didn't sound like yourself on the phone, I'm sure there is something wrong, so I came here to find out why. You haven't been the happiest girl in the world lately Dawn. I'm worried about you, what's wrong?"
Dawn waited a bit to answer. "Let's talk about this inside?"
"Of course." Drew walked in and Dawn closed the door behind him. Drew then sat himself on the long royal blue couch in the living room, Dawn followed him.
"So are you going to tell me what's been going on?"
Dawn sat herself down next to Drew but stayed quiet. "Come on Dawn," encouraged Drew, "we're best friends, we tell each other everything."
"Yes," Dawn chuckled, "that we do."
"So, out with it." Dawn sighed, "its Kenny."
"Again Dawn?" She nodded.
"Eesh, if things are going from bad to worse again, you should call it quits," Drew leaned closer to Dawn, "for good this time."
Dawn pulled away. "But I don't want to Drew. You see, when we're good, we're really good, but when we're bad things only seem to be getting worse. But even though those good times are rare, I know they can happen and it's worth it," Dawn said smiling, remembering.
"Dawn?" Dawn stopped smiling and turned her attention to Drew, "Yes?"
"Are you listening to yourself speaking?"
"Yes. Yes I am."
"This is outrageous Dawn, you deserve better!"
"Maybe…"
"Yes!" Drew was getting upset, "He's going to break your heart one day Dawn, and it'll be painful, knowing him. I'm sure you know it Dawn, why are you still with him?"
"Stop raising your voice! This is my life and my relationship Drew!"
"Dawn! I'm the one always hearing about them! I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall every time Dawn because you keep on making the same mistakes over and over again even after I warn you about them! Why do you keep torturing yourself like this?"
"Because I've been with him for so long Drew! I know you wouldn't give up hope if this was happening between you and May. You would make sure you kept things together and even if it means forgetting all the wrongs in the relationship. I know that he isn't the best boyfriend ever, but I love him Drew. We've been together for fifteen months; I don't want to throw that all away."
"So you want to continue on a bad relationship Dawn? Why would you forget all the wrongs? There are more of those than the goods. Come on Dawn." Drew grabbed her hand, "Dawn he's made you change for him. What guy wouldn't love his girlfriend the way she is? And why do you listen to him and change? Dawn you're an amazing girl, and if Kenny can't see that then he isn't the right guy for you."
"Thanks Drew." He nodded at her.
*beep beep beep*
"Sorry it's a text." Drew pulled out his phone.
: Hey Drew! So, when are you coming over? –xo May
"Oh, it's May, I got to go."
"What happened?"
"We got into a fight before because I left her at Everly with everyone else to come see you here to find out what's wrong."
"YOU DID WHAT?" Dawn's eyes widened, "Man oh man, Drew what the hell! May is going to kill me! Drew she's your girlfriend!" Dawn got up off the couch and started pacing.
"And you're my best fri-"
"Girlfriends come before best friends! Especially is the best friend is a girl!"
"I'm guessing it was a bad mistake?"
"YES DREW! This is May, oh boy will I hear it," Dawn looked at Drew, "Why are you still here? Leave!"
"Okay, okay! I'll go. Bye!" Drew said as he gave Dawn a hug, "but one more thing."
"Yes?"
"Think about what I said, okay Dawn?" Dawn chuckled, "yes, yes, I will. Now go!" She said as she closed the door behind Drew.

Also, If your confused, Everly is a hang out place for them. It's a café; sort of like a Dunkin Donuts or a Tim Hortons.
