OH SNAP! I had a feeling I was not going to get this up today, and technically I didn't because it's 12:14am but I did it! Oh boy, waking up at 6:30 will not be easy.
Anyways because I love you all I'm still up and going to proof read it one last time before posting, probably get this done by 1am and get 5 hours of sleep. Bingo will be something tomorrow :/. ANYHOW, enough about me, let's get on with the chapter! :D

Chapter Ten: Morning
Dawn woke up to the smell of coffee and pancakes. She looked over to the alarm clock placed on a night stand towards the side of the bed that was close to the window. 11:45 boy have I slept in. Dawn spent the night in the guestroom; the bed was queen sized and the room looked like it could be the master bedroom. Of course that wasn't the case since Ash gave her the grand tour last night and she saw his bedroom which was almost half the size of his place. Dawn was also very surprised at how neat Ash kept his place.
I think it's about time I got up. She got up and looked at herself in the mirror before heading out. She was in the pyjama's she had kept in her bag since she was usually never home. She wore a simple white tank top and short shorts that had pink and lavender vertical stripes; they were the easiest to keep in her bag. She brushed her hair and headed towards the kitchen.
"Good morning!" said an enthusiastic Ash.
"Good morning Ash." Ash was flipping pancakes. He flipped on high enough to be noticed and it landed back into the pan.
"Nice job there show off," joked Dawn.
"Pfft! It took me weeks to perfect that move." Dawn giggled. She then walked over to the kitchen table to sit down. She continued to watch Ash flip pancakes. Naturally for effect, Ash had to be shirtless. She chuckled quietly to herself. But damn, Misty has got herself a really hot boyfriend.
"The pancakes are ready!"
Dawn cheered which made Ash laugh as he brought her an empty plate and put the plate of pancakes in the middle.
"Thanks Ash!" She took two pancakes to start and then proceeded to drench them in maple syrup. She then took a bite and her eyes lit up, "these are the best pancakes I have ever tasted!"
Ash laughed, "Thanks."
*.*.*.*.*
When Dawn was full she put down her fork and knife onto her plate. "That was delicious! Thanks for the amazing breakfast Ash."
"No problem."
"Hey Ash, uh, I'm sorry for yesterday." Ash was done as well and started to clear the table. "What do you mean?" Ash asked while washing the dishes.
Dawn decided to help out so she dried the dishes. "Well, telling you that heavy load about myself. I mean, we only met about a week ago and I start telling you my life story. You probably think I'm some kind of nutcase right?"
Ash stopped what he was doing at the word nutcase, "of course not Dawn. How could I call you a nutcase? Why, because you feel that you could trust me?" He looked at Dawn in the eyes, "Dawn, I'm happy that you could trust me, and I feel like I could trust you ever since I called you that day about Misty." He went back to cleaning the dishes.
"Hey yeah, what happened with that?"
"Well-" *Ring* He checked his phone; it was Misty. "Sorry, I got to take this," he said as he closed the water and dried his hands. "Hello?"
"Hey Ash!"
"Hey Misty, how are you?"
"I'm really good, we just got off the boat, we're in Vermillion City now, and we're waiting for Violet and Lily to come pick us up."
"Ah, so you're still coming back tomorrow right?"
Misty paused. "I'm sorry, we're coming back Tuesday."
"Tuesday? I thought it was just for the weekend."
"I know, but we didn't spend seven hours to get here just to stay for less than a day, so we extended our stay."
"Well its fine with me, though, I'll miss you a lot more than I had originally thought."
"Aw, don't worry, I'll be back before you know it. – Oh, sorry Ash, I got to go, Violet and Lily are here! Bye!"
"Bye!" Ash hung up.
"So things went well?"
"No. No Dawn, they didn't."
"But you seemed just fine on the phone."
"Yeah," Ash looked down, "that's 'cause I didn't tell her."
"How come?"
"I don't know Dawn. She's so happy, and I overheard her talking to May saying that she felt something special. Dawn, I know now, I know that it's because of me, I'm doing something wrong."
"Is Misty your first girlfriend?"
"Yeah."
"Well, maybe you just don't know how sparks feel like, maybe you'll feel it when you haven't had that kind of affection from her in a while? I mean, now, she's in Cerulean City for a couple of days, for the time being, you'll probably miss her, and maybe when she comes back it'll reflect in your affection towards her. Maybe then you'll feel something."
"I love your positive thinking Dawn, but there doesn't seem to be a romantic connection, for some reason it seems fate doesn't want us together."
"Oh gosh Ash, stop talking like that! You know what? You think too much, stop thinking!"
Ash couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, alright, we'll do it your way then."
Dawn let out a chuckle then nodded her head, "good! Oh hey, could I use your phone? Mine is about to die."
"Sure, go ahead," he said handing her his phone.
"Thanks." She walked out of the kitchen and into the guestroom. Ash decided to go watch TV in the meantime.
Dawn dialled Drew's number. "Hello?"
"Hey Drew, its Dawn."
"Dawn? What the heck are you doing with Ash's phone?"
"I'm at his house."
"At 12:30? What time did you get there?"
"I spent the night." She embraced herself for the response coming.
"What the- Dawn, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING SPENDING THE NIGHT AT MISTY'S BOYFRIEND'S HOUSE?"
"Oh God Drew, calm down, you're overreacting." Dawn started to pace.
"Does Misty know?"
"I don't know."
"DAWN!"
"WHAT?"
"Okay, let's cut down to it, where did you sleep? And please don't say in his bed."
"No! I slept in his guestroom."
Drew let out a sigh of relief. "A little faith won't kill you Drew."
"I guess, but I don't want to see you get hurt again."
"Oh wow, Drew, first of all, like you said, he's Misty's boyfriend. Secondly, the only reason I'm here is because you weren't home last night!"
"Huh?" Dawn stopped pacing and lay down on the bed, "I went over to your house yesterday and you weren't home. So Ash, who was conveniently driving down your street to avoid traffic saw me and we talked and he let me stay at his house the night since I didn't want to go back to Twinleaf Town."
"And why didn't you want to go back to Twinleaf?"
Dawn paused. "Well, because… well," she started crying, she couldn't take it.
"Dawn?" Drew started worrying on the other end.
"Because Kenny broke up with me!" More crying.
"What? I thought you guys were on break?"
"We were! But he found another girl who's obviously better than me!"
"Dawn, no one could be better than you. Besides in less than a day he couldn't have found a better girl-"
"No, it had been for like three weeks! And yes there is! Her name is Zoey Jennings!"
"No way, I cannot believe he cheated on you! And this Zoey Jennings chick is just some slut, no need to worry right?"
"I guess…"
"Kenny definitely did not deserve you, and you shouldn't be crying over him because he was an asshole to you since two months into your relationship. Move on."
"Drew, I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's been fifteen months that we were together. I loved him and I'm not over him yet. I just need some time to let it sink in and to think a little bit."
"Alright."
"I'm going to go Drew, Ash's battery is low."
"Alright, call me when you leave?"
"Okay. By the way, where were you last night?"
"At May's."
"Oh, I better hear more about that later. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Dawn wiped all of her tears and went to the living room and sat down next to Ash. "Here you go," she handed him back his phone, "your battery is low, sorry."
"Its fine," Ash reassured her with a smile.
"Hey Ash, I just wanted to say thanks, for everything."
"Oh, it's no problem, really. Just helping a friend."
"You're such a sweet guy, Misty is really lucky to have you."
"Thanks Dawn." They looked at each other for a moment, and then Ash broke the silence, "I hope you find someone who deserves you Dawn. Don't you waste another second with Kenny thoughts."
Dawn looked down; she got uncomfortable with the mere mention of his name. He's right, he and Drew are absolutely right. I really do need to clear my head of all the thoughts involving Kenny… and all the memories… Dawn was starting to tear up. Ash held her close as an attempt to comfort her. "Dawn, my ears are open, whenever you need to talk, I'll be right here. Okay?"
Dawn just nodded and kept on crying in his arms.

Hello :). I probably should warn you guys of something before I get a ton of hate mail. This story is a more "realistic" story and the story revolves around their emotions and it progresses solely on that. So honestly don't expect anything rash to happen that would disrupt the flow of how this story is going. MEANING, this story is all planned out and I got this all under control, GOT IT? great :)
Also, I know it has been a while since I last updated, hopefully all this craziness will die down and I'll have more free time. LOL who am I kidding -.-' . But I'm not doing nothing :) Whenever I don't have computer access I'm working on my other story. Yay for notebook and pencil :D!
SO HOW WAS THE CHAPTER? Was it so freaking awesome that it was mind blowing? Probably not, but the next one will be. :) Be anxious! :D But the chapter was still awesome right? Yeah, thought so.
Keep reading & Review, it makes me feel good about my story AND you get a cyber hug! win/win :D?
