"May," Drew began as he stroked my hair as we sat on his basement couch.

After he had carried me to his house, Drew had taken me to the basement and sat on the couch with me in his lap trying to calm me down. I had been in hysterics and mumbling things along the lines of, I'm so sorry and I-I was going to t-tell you I swear and even I wasn't lying when I said I loved you.

"Would you mind filling me in on what happened?" he asked and I could tell he was trying to stay calm for when I glanced up at him he was pinching the bridge of his nose with his free hand while his eyes were squeezed shut.

"Where do you want me to start?" I asked hesitantly as I bit my lip, trying not to burst in tears again. The last thing I wanted was for Drew to hate me. His hands lifted up from my head and to my dismay, instead of keeping his arms around me, Drew kept them at his side. Thankfully he didn't move me away from me.

"Why don't you tell me why you even decided to come here in the first place? Or maybe what you were planning to do once it was time to leave? And lastly, why didn't you just tell me?" The last question Drew asked, his voice broke and he stared ahead, not looking at me.

"I decided to come here when rumors were getting out of hand and I was just tired of everyone trying to get into my life. I'm a regular teenager just like you and I couldn't handle all the pressure. I actually wasn't sure what I was going to do. Really, I winged it. Finally, I don't know why I didn't tell you. I guess I didn't because I didn't want you to hate me…like you do now," I told him sadly and immediately his gaze went to me and his arms slid themselves around me as he quickly pulled me closer.

"How could you ever say I hated you? Sure I'm confused and a little angry right now but I don't think anyone could hate you," he whispered truthfully in my ear. A small smile came to my lips before finally I melted into his chest, knowing he'd keep me safe.

"Thank you Drew," I told him. "I really didn't mean for any of this to happen and I was about to tell you before Brianna came up to me, I promise you that," I informed him truthfully.

"Oh yeah, how's your cheek?" he questioned as he lifted my face up and searched my face for any marks. "It's still red and I even think it's swelling up a bit. You might get a bruise eve. That girl can hit hard," Drew said, wincing slightly on my behalf but also looking angry at the fact that someone had hit me.

"I know she can." Drew slightly touched my cheek but quickly pulled away as a yelp passed through my lips. He carefully lifted me up and went to the basement bathroom where he got a towel and wetted it with cold water. He came out and sat me in his lap again. Once he placed the cold cloth on my face I closed my eyes, thankful that the stinging stopped for now. My eyes opened again as he began speaking

"You said you were friends?" He asked with an arched brow.

"Yeah we used to be," I mumbled. Drew pursed his lips for a second before speaking again.

"You also said that something happened between you. I don't really watch gossip shows so…?" he trailed off, signaling me to explain. Involuntary I stiffened and Drew noticed it.

"Do you know who Brendan Birch is? And no, he's not the Professor's son, it's probably a coincidence." Drew rolled his eyes a bit.

"Yeah I've heard of him and I know he's not his son, a lot of people have that last name." I nodded.

"Well, a year or two ago he came into my dressing room because he said he needed to talk to me. Then he told me about his 'plan' which consisted of him breaking up with Brianna and then me and him getting together. Of course I said no but then he pushed me against the wall and… kissed me for a couple minutes and he wouldn't let me get away. Of course Brianna walked in, though, and she was crushed because they'd been dating for four years about. The press luckily didn't get too much information and the information that did get out, my agent cleared up. But still Brianna has hated my guts since," I told him as I finished my long story. Drew's eyes were narrowed as he held me a little bit closer.

"I haven't taken too much of a liking to Brianna after what she called you and after she hit you. And I never did take a liking to the actor guy," Drew said icily.

"But it's not her fault, she's just hurt and it's my fault anyway so I had to pay the price. Like how I have to pay the price for coming here in the first place. I did bad things so I have to live with it," I said as he gave me a curious look.

"How is the Brendan thing your fault? Also, I think you gained quite a lot from coming here." I smiled a bit and blushed. I knew he was talking about us.

"I didn't try hard enough. I should have just kneed him where guys do not want to be kneed," I chuckled before continuing speaking, "and yeah, I did gain a lot but what about when I leave? I don't want to forget you guys you know?" I asked.

"Who said you had to forget?" Drew asked seriously.

"No one but won't it be hard if I'm across the United States and I'm famous and go on world tours?" Drew thought for a moment.

"We'll figure it out. You can't leave your besties," he joked as I laughed at him.

"You're pretty amazing you know that?" I asked him. I smiled at what he did next. Drew flicked his hair and winked at me.

"I know I am, but don't forget that you are too," he reminded me as a red hue took dusted over the bridge of my nose and cheeks once again.

"Thanks," I said quietly.

"You know, you wouldn't think a celebrity would be so shy," Drew said as he looked at me. I bit my lip for a second.

"To tell you the truth, I only get nervous around you," I said even quieter, my voice growing faster as I spoke.

"Oh really now?" Drew asked as he smirked. How he loved me embarrassing myself. For once though I didn't care, I was just glad things were already back to normal.

"Yes," I mumbled again, my blush increasing in redness. Drew laughed before leaning in to brush his lips against mine.

"Well looky here! How cute!" A girly voice squealed. Immediately, both Drew and I leaned away from each other and looked for the person who spoke. He still kept me in his lap though.

As my gaze searched the big basement I saw the same thirteen year old girl that made me jealous.

"Hey Caitryn," I said sweetly. She smiled back at me and folded her arms behind her back.

"Howdy Maple, you look gorgeous in your dance attire," She replied while smirking. My jaw dropped and Drew silently cursed under his breath.

"Caitryn, do not tell me that you've been spying again," Drew said in an older brother type voice. I knew because it was kind of life how I spoke to Max.

"Why would I ever spy, Drewy Bear?" She questioned as she cocked her head the side, batting her lashes.

"Because Mom was foolish enough to get you all that spy gear for your birthday remember? And Cate, that cute and innocent look worked when we were kids not now," he replied while imitating the smirk that she gave him moments ago. She narrowed her emerald orbs and he did the same with the exact same eyes. They were like twins and it was kind of creeping me out.

Suddenly, Caitryn's eyes wandered over to me and she smiled before bounding over to where we were sitting.

"I just knew you two were dating! You can't pull anything over me!" She warned us.

"Last time I came here we weren't though," I reminded her. She waved me off.

"Technicalities… Besides, what's even better is the fact that my sister-in-law is going to be May Maple. I always liked you," she smiled and winked at me. In return, I smiled too. She was just so funny and quite the character. Then my breath hitched and my throat and I coughed.

"Wait… Sister-in-law?" I clarified as I tried not to look at Drew. My face was probably bright red by now.

"Of course, why wouldn't you guys get married?" She asked, honestly curious.

"Uhh," I trailed off, not knowing what to say. Drew then poked my arm.

"What's so bad about me?" He asked as I took a risk and looked at him to see that his expression was teasing.

"Nothing! It's just that- that… I don't know." I quickly slapped a hand over my mouth before I could say anything else. I was already embarrassed.

"It's okay, May. You'll have plenty of time to figure it out. Hey, you'll probably meet someone else better anyway," she said as Drew glared at her.

"That's not happening," Drew told her and probably me too.

"I'd never dream of anyone but you," I sarcastically told him but kissed him on the cheek anyway.

"Oh, you know I'm kidding. But seriously, May can I please be a bridesmaid?" she asked me while pouting. I smiled and lifted myself of off Drew before holding out a hand.

"It's a deal if it happens," I promised her. Smiling, she gripped my hand and firmly shook it before walking off.

"Drew?" She called over her shoulder.

"Yeah?" He called back as he stood up off the couch to stand next to me.

"Now that you know May's a singer, shouldn't she know that you are too?" She asked innocently while flashing Drew a devious smile. I curiously looked over at my green headed beau. Caitryn quickly dash up the stairs, laughing all the way.

"What was Caitryn talking about?" I questioned. Drew's cheeks were tinted a light pink and I smiled at his expense with a thought suddenly coming to mind.

"That's right! You did say you've written songs before. Mind serenading your girlfriend?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around his neck trying to butter him up. I didn't necessarily know if Drew could sing or know but I wanted to hear either way.

"Actually, I kind of wrote it as a duet. I had a feeling that you could sing," he replied as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I perked a brow before breaking out in a smile.

"Then let's do it," I said as I quickly placed a peck on his lips. Drew walked away from me to get a sheet of music and his acoustic guitar that I saw him playing that day so long ago.

"I'm telling you now, it's different than what you usually do though," he told me.

"Don't think I can do it?" I scoffed while crossing my arms over my chest.

"Never said you couldn't," he pointed out and I smiled. "Here," he handed me the sheet that he picked up. I read over the lyrics and a blush painted over the bridge of my nose.

"Wow, Drew. These lyrics are really… amazing." Drew flicked his hair as he sat down on the floor and then began strumming in a downward motion. Sitting myself across from him on the floor, I stared at him waiting for him to sing.

"Do you hear me? I'm talking to you. Across the water, across the deep blue ocean under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying," Drew's voice filled the basement and my eyes widened. He wasn't good at all. He was fantastic. Quickly, I recovered and began singing as I read the music. He sure was right; this was so different from my usual music.

"Boy I hear you in my dreams. I feel you whisper across the sea. I keep you with me, in my heart. You make it easier when life gets hard," as soon as I finished singing my part we both jumped into the chorus.

"I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to be comin' home again." I felt the blush creeping up again as I sang this and noticed what it was implying. Smiling to myself, I looked at Drew who was staring right back at me with those green beryl eyes of his.

"Ooooooooh," we both sang, our voices harmonizing perfectly. The next part we sang was kind of a round and I inwardly applauded Drew for having come up with such an excellent piece of music.

"They don't know how long it takes, waiting for a love like this. Every time we say goodbye, I wish we had one more kiss. I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will," we both held the note before going into the chorus once more. Of course though, Drew had to hold the note all fancy like.

"I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to be comin home again." Without thinking, I moved myself forward so the only thing between us was his guitar. Grinning widely, I finished the chorus with him.

"Lucky we're in love in every way, lucky we have stayed where we have stayed. Lucky to be comin' home someday." Drew had given me a wolfish grin as I kept staring at him and smiling and I began laughing. I was having too much fun singing with Drew and I was thoroughly enjoying it. Drew began singing again and the blush returned on my cheeks. Having him sing to me was so sweet.

"And so I'm sailing through the sea, to an island where we'll meet. You'll hear the music fill the air. I'll put a flower in your hair," he sang just as he paused from his playing and stroked the rose he'd put in my hair earlier. Then he went back to playing as I started to sing.

"Though the breezes through the trees move so pretty, you're all I see. As the world keeps spinning 'round… you hold me right here, right now," I finished while arching a brow at Drew before moving myself so I sat directly next to him. As we began singing the next verse had turned his head and looked at me, giving his dazzling smiling.

"I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to comin' home again. Lucky we're in love in every way, lucky to have stayed where we have stayed. Lucky to be comin home someday."

"Ooooooooh, oooooooh oooh," we finished while harmonizing. Soon, I realized that our faces were mere inches apart. Feeling my face heat up, my eyes wandered down to his lips then back to his eyes and I saw him smirk before planting a gentle kiss on my lips.

"You're good," he murmured, though not breaking our kiss. The corner of my lips tugged upwards into a smile.

"So are you," I told him, still not breaking the kiss but he sadly did pull away much to my dismay. He laughed openly.

"You just can't get enough can you, Miracle?" He chuckled but my eyebrows furrowed.

"Now that you know that's not my real name why do you still call me that?" I asked. Drew looked taken aback by the question before he seemed to notice that he called me Miracle. Quickly, he recovered and set his guitar down before facing me and throwing me the classic Drew smirk.

"Even if it isn't your real name it has meaning behind it," he explained.

"What do you mean?" I asked, still not getting it. He said before sitting across from me once again.

"You'll always be my Miracle because you truly were a miracle in my life," he told me with no trace of doubt in his voice. My breath hitched in my throat as my face grew hot once again. Once his words fully processed in my mind though, a smile broke out across my face and I tackled Drew to the floor.

"Whoa…" he said as he took in our position. I had to admit, it wasn't the best time for me to do this considering I was wearing a strapless mini dress and we were unsupervised as he was holding me and I was pinning him to the ground.

"Drew, there are no words to describe how much I love you at this moment," I truthfully told him as happiness flowed through my words. I could tell my eyes were bright too.

Arrogantly, Drew kissed me and murmured against my lips, "I know and I love you too." Once again, I smiled as he kissed me but this time I pulled away and smirked.

"But don't get used to hearing that too often," I told him as I rolled off his body and sat up next to him.

"May," he warned.

"I'm just kidding, you grass headed freak," I teased before capturing his lips once again.

Mentally, I scolded myself for ever thinking that Drew would hate me once he found out the truth. I mean, we were May and Drew.

The hard part though was telling my friends.

I bounded down the stairs, butterflies in my stomach before dashing out the door without even eating breakfast.

"May, where are you going without breakfast?" Mom's voice echoed from the kitchen.

"School," I replied quickly before planning to escape again.

"Not so fast. Why are you off to school this early?" Max's voice came in now and he and Mom both walked out of the kitchen. I scratched the back of my neck and began to stutter.

"W-Well you see, after the d-dance some s-stuff happened that..." I was going to finish explaining about Drew finding out about me before Max stormed over to me.

"Did he get you pregnant?" Max boomed while cracking his knuckles.

"WHAT?" I screeched while waving my hands wildly around and shaking my head quickly. "No! If you'll let me go to school I'll explain it all after today once I get home from Drew's, okay?" I asked, hoping I could just head to school. I was afraid I would chicken out of telling everyone else the truth unless I got out of there now.

"Why would you go to Drew's?" Max questioned again. This whole protective brother act was getting quite annoying, but it was sweet nonetheless.

"We've had a biology project we've been working on all semester and we're finishing it up this week," I explained.

"That better be all you're doing," Max growled before Mom pulled him away with a look of disapproval on her face.

"Max, that is enough. Stop being so rude to your sister," she scolded him before turning back to look at me with a smile on her face. "Go ahead honey and have fun with Drew. But be back for dinner okay?" she requested as I nodded my head and smiled gratefully at her.

Bursting out the door I practically ran to school. When I woke up I had shot everyone, including Drew, to be at school thirty minutes earlier. Unhappily they all agreed.

After about five minutes of sprinting I saw my friends sitting on the steps in front of the school. Panting, I walked up to them.

"What took you so long?" Gary asked rudely. Leaf turned around and punched him in the gut for she was sitting on a step lower than him and sitting between his legs. It was a very cute sight to see if you ignored the fact that Gary was now coughing for air.

"Shut up, Oak. I think it's important because if I know May, she doesn't like waking up early," she laughed as I joined in too.

"Both of your points are true Leaf," I told her and she smirked smugly at Gary who rolled his eyes, still recovering from her punch.

Drew came up beside and wrapped his arm around my waist before kissing my cheek. Since Friday night, we had been even closer and affectionate than before for two reasons. One; we didn't want to let any moments go to waste because we didn't know what would happen at the end of the semester. Two; That night we just bonded and grew closer than ever.

"Well then what are you here to tell us?" Misty asked from her spot beside Ash.

"Yeah, isn't it something bad?" Dawn asked, concerned.

"If you look at it from a certain angle it can be," Drew butted in as I threw him a glare. He just smirked back like everything was fine. Leaf began talking in a loud voice that scared all of us.

"Whoa!" She stood up, hands on her hips as she approached us at the bottom of the steps. "Drew already knows? May, what happened to Chicks Before Dicks? That's like number one in the girl handbook," Leaf practically whined.

"Well, if you were in my situation it was kind of impossible to avoid," I muttered as Drew narrowed his eyes. I threw him a sweet smile.

Gary came up and pulled Leaf into him and it was then I noticed that all my friends had come up around us.

"Okay, I think I'm speaking for everyone here but I'm really confused," Ash said tapping his chin before his eyes grew wide and he started cracking up. Pointing an accused finger at me he shouted, "You're pregnant!" My jaw dropped to the ground and Drew's face turned bright red. Leaf and Misty were cracking their knuckles while Dawn was squealing about the baby shower she was going to plan. Gary and Ash were rolling around on the ground while laughing and tears were streaming down their faces.

"What the hell, Drew! I'm going to kill you!" Misty threatened as she pulled out that random mallet.

"You guys are all idiots shut the hell up!" Paul intervened. Everyone turned and stared at him and I smiled at him gratefully. Drew composed himself and glared daggers at Ash.

"Why would you think she's pregnant? It's not like she's a whore. Let them finish the damn explaining," Paul said exasperated before putting his hands in his pocket and turned his gaze away from the group.

"Thank you," I heard Drew mutter. An awkward silence took over the group.

"Okay, well I'm not sure how to explain this. Drew?" I turned to Drew and gave him puppy dog eyes. I had no idea how to explain to them who I really was. Drew nodded and flicked his hair before talking.

"May never told you this but she's leaving at the end of the semester," Drew began.

"What?" Everyone asked at the same time except Paul who had a knowing smirk on his face. Somehow, I had a feeling that Paul had always known who I was.

"There's a reason behind it though," Drew continued. "Maple's not who you think she is," Drew finished, hoping that they'd all get it. Five of my friends all stared at me with blank expressions. Finally Paul intervened once again.

"She's May Maple obviously," he explained while smirking. All of their reactions were priceless.

"Eh?" Leaf had asked, too stunned to do anything else.

"No way…" Misty murmured as she shook her head back and forth slowly.

"…!" Dawn hadn't said anything. Her hands covered her mouth and her eyes were huge.

"Holy…" Gary trailed off before Ash covered his mouth so he couldn't drop the bomb.

"Well that's something," Ash had said calmly.

"I knew it all along," Paul spoke up.

"How?" We all asked.

"It's kind of obvious especially when you're little sister worships May," he said. I cleared my throat.

"Well, now the truth's out. I'm sorry I lied to you guys but you have to know that I love all of you guys, okay?" I told them all, hope etched into my words. Suddenly, Drew and I were attacked with a huge bear hug.

"May, we love you too!" Leaf cried.

"Yeah, why wouldn't we?" Misty questioned. I shook my head amazed.

"I just thought you'd all hate me," I told them truthfully before the squeezing got tighter. "Guys…I can't…breathe…!" I gasped before I managed to escape the hug.

"We're sorry, we just want to let you know that we're not mad," Ash told me while smiling. Nodding my head, I walked to Paul and gave him a quick hug before pulling away.

"Thanks for keeping my secret!" I thanked him and flashed him a smile before skipping back to the huddle of my friends, all their mouths hanging open.

"What?" I asked. Gary spoke up.

"She-she…hugged Paul and he didn't kill her," he said in amazement. I rolled my eyes but smiled anyway before skipping back up to Drew and wrapped my arms around him. My eyes drifted across all my friends, Paul included, and then finally on Drew.

Overjoyed I smiled and answered all the questions my friends had. At least now once Brianna told the press about this I know I'd be able to handle it with the help of my friends.

My eyes drifted once more over each of them and I saw Gary flirting with Leaf, Misty laughing at something Ash said before swinging at him with that random mallet again and Dawn running up to Paul.

My friends sure were interesting… maybe it would be better handling this by myself come to think of it… I laughed to myself before ridding the thought and joining in with their craziness.

Did that live up to your expectations? I really hope so! I finally got this typed up after numerous attempts so if there are any typos I'm sorry!

I don't know if you guys liked it but I had to put Ash saying that she was pregnant. I was laughing for like five minutes as I was writing this!

Okay now I need some opinions from you guys: Brianna leak about May to the press or should she keep being a complete biyotch to her?

2. Which song do you like better?: Sparks Fly or I'd lie - both by Taylor Swift

3. When May leaves what do you guys think should happen to her friends and most important, Drew?

Those are all the things I want to ask! Again thank you all so so so much for the awesome reviews! We're almost to forty! Do you think we can get ten reviews this time around?;)

I'll try to update ASAP! Type ya later my fellow dorks:)
