DREW'S POV

May Maple. Miracle. Whatever. You never cease to amaze me.

My eyes followed her when she was moving on stage and the followed her when she walked out of the gym. I was about to get up to go talk to her but I was stopped by my lovely group of friends. Note the sarcasm.

"Drew!" Gary yelled my name as him and everyone else ran up to me from my spot on the bleachers. They'd all gone down to the floor to see May.

"Did you know about this?" Misty asked me, looking suspicious.

I rolled my eyes. "Why would I?"

"I don't know, maybe because you're May's boyfriend?" Leaf suggested sarcastically.

"Ex," I corrected even if it did hurt. It was true after all.

"Bull shit," Paul stated.

"Yeah, we all know that you and May are like this," Dawn said while crossing her middle finger over her pointer finger.

"Even so, I didn't know that May was doing this," I said truthfully just hoping that they'd stop bombarding me with all these questions. I really wanted to go and talk to May.

But then, Ash began talking. "Did you know that she was leaving tomorrow?" He deadpanned.

I contemplated on lying and saying no or telling the truth even if they did all threaten to kill me. I went with the latter.

"Yes."

"What the hell, Drew? Why didn't you tell us?" Leaf exclaimed.

"Seriously, we need to find her and talk to her," Misty stated with a roll of her eyes before she started looking around.

"No," I commanded.

"Huh?" Ash asked.

"I'll be the one that goes and sees her. You all can go later."

Almost everyone rejected other than Paul.

"Just go let him see her. We'll all see her later. Besides, she probably wants to see him first. Face the facts," Paul said with a careless shrug.

"Aw, you're right," Dawn pouted.

"Now, if you'll excuse me…" I told them before shoving past them and headed back behind the temporary stage.

Looking around, I didn't see her immediately but then caught sight of Caroline talking to Professor Juniper.

"Excuse me, do you know where May went?" I asked them. Caroline smiled at the sight of me.

"Oh, hello Drew! May? I think she said something about a courtyard?" she said unsurely before putting a hand on my shoulder. "You might want to go soon though. If I know anything about my daughter I know she's dying to see you," she told me with a wink. It almost made me blush. Not quite though.

"Thanks," I said before walking out the gym, through the halls and to the courtyard. As soon as I walked outside I saw May sitting on a bench and looking deep in thought. Her ankles her crossed and she kept biting her lip occasionally.

"May," I called out and her head snapped up to look straight at me.

"Drew?"

MAY'S POV

"May," I heard my name being called by an all too familiar voice. My head snapped up immediately.

"Drew?" I was right; it was him standing just a couple feet away from me.

For some reason unknown my eyes started to tear up. I stood on my feet and ran into him, causing him to stumble a couple steps back before finally gaining balance. He held me close to him and I held on to him for dear life.

"I'm so sorry," I told him, trying to get as much sincerity in my voice as possible.

"I'm sorry too," he breathed. "Mostly for breaking up with you for the stupidest reason on the planet."

A small laugh bubbled through my lips. "It's okay, I forgive you," I told him as I wiped the few tears that managed to roll down my cheeks. "It was my fault anyway. I mean, what should I have expected when I told you that I was leaving?"

Drew shook his head. "It's not your fault. I shouldn't have done that."

"You did the right thing! I was at fault. Not you." I was beginning to get a little angry. Why was Drew taking the blame for something that was my fault?

"I didn't and you know it," he stated, his bright eyes searching mine.

I frowned a bit. "You're right. You're a complete idiot."

"I know." His voice was becoming more and more teasing.

"You're also a big grass headed jerk," I added, making sure to take this opportunity to the fullest. Drew caught in quickly though.

"Just shut up, March," he sighed and then planted a long kiss on my lips that I happily accepted.

When he pulled away I chuckled. "You don't know how badly I've wanted to do that all week."

"Me too," he said with his handsome smirk. "I love you."

"Love you too," I told him with a foolish grin. I paused for a moment.

"Well," I started trying to discuss the hardest thing there was to talk about. "I'm officially leaving tomorrow. What are we going to do?" I didn't want to bring up the subject but I couldn't avoid it forever. Especially when I was leaving in less than twenty four hours…

"We're going to work our way through it, I promise," Drew said simply while pressing his forehead against mine and running his thumb over my cheek. The answer shocked me really.

But I still couldn't help the smile that played on my lips. "Really?"

"Really. It's not worth losing you," he said with his playful smirk on his lips once again.

A tear fell from my eye. Then another… and another.

"Are you really that devastated?" Drew teased. I laughed through my tears.

"Ever heard of tears of joy?"

"Well in that case, keep crying," he said with a one hundred watt smile.

"Jerk."

He smiled and then leaned down to plant a tender kiss on my forehead with his hand cupping my cheek. I could feel my face grow warmer. It was these gestures that still made me all nervous and giddy around him.

Drew seemed pleased with my sudden nervousness and gave me a charming smile. "What do you say about heading back to meet the group? They're about ready to hunt us down with chainsaws and daggers," he warned.

I gulped. "Yikes… Okay, let's go."

He entwined our fingers and we began walking. Just as we were about to leave the courtyard, an angry group of teenagers ran up to me.

"May, I'm going to kill you!" Leaf shouted while running up to me and grabbing me in a tight hug, ripping my hand from Drew's in the process.

"I'll help," Misty added and she too came and hugged me.

"Ditto!" Dawn exclaimed after she was already hugging me.

I tried to peek through the hug and I saw all the guys standing off to the side, looking confused and awkward but they were talking to Drew who was most likely explaining the situation to them.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Leaf asked me, her eyes teary. Tears almost immediately began stinging my eyes.

I looked at all three of my female friends and saw each of their eyes were glistening with unshed tears. Oh goodness, I was going to start crying.

"I'm sorry. This is the only way I could do it," I told them.

Misty wiped her eyes. "You could have just told us instead of blurting it out. We could have done so much stuff."

"But now…" Dawn trailed off.

The feeling of guilt consumed me. "Look guys, I'm so sorry for this but… I was scared to tell you. I thought that I wouldn't be able to go through with it and I need to go back home. I need to continue my career so, I went to easy way out," I explained, trying to be as honest as possible.

No more words were spoken between us and we just hugged it out for a moment before a certain boy interrupted us.

"Um, are you guys going to keep standing like that?" Gary asked, peeping into the circle.

Leaf's eyebrow twitched irritably. "You just ruined a perfectly good moment!"

"It's okay," I assured her with a little laugh and turned to the guys.

"Are you mad at me too?" I asked with a small pout.

Ash came up to me and rested his elbow on my shoulder. "Nah. We're guys. We let go of stuff after like five seconds," he stated.

"Ashy boy is right," Gary said, mimicking Ash's actions on my other shoulder. "Besides we aren't as dramatic as them." I laughed at the expressions of Misty, Leaf and Dawn.

"For the love of all that's holy, will somebody please permanently sew their mouths shut?" Leaf asked, her hands on her hips.

All eyes turned to Paul who simply raised a brow. "Don't look at me. Troublesome is the sewer, not me," he said while pointing at Dawn who was smiling creepily at Ash and Gary.

"That's right," she mused. "I do have an emergency sewing kit in my locker." They both gulped and made a run for it.

"Get back here you good for nothing jerks!" Dawn yelled and chased them out of the courtyard and into the building.

I wiped a tear from my eye from laughing so hard. "I'm going to miss you guys," I announced.

"Aw, we'll miss you too," Misty assured me with a playful wink.

"WAIT!" Leaf shouted. I whipped my head around so I was facing her. "What about the concert?"

"Oh," I said. "About that… I'm coming back for it…"

"EH?" Misty and Leaf questioned… rather loudly.

I rubbed the back of my neck and looked to Drew for help but he was talking to Paul. Wow, Grasshead.

Leaf latched herself onto me. "Why aren't you staying then?"

"Because I can't. And I'm only coming back for one night anyway, so I didn't want to tell you to bring your hopes up or anything," I explained. Leaf and Misty glared.

I glanced at Drew again and he looked at me and smirked. "You didn't tell me about coming back either." With that, he turned back around and continued chatting with Paul.

"Drew, I am SO going to get you for this, you stupid Grasshead!"

"May, we're coming to your house at seven o'clock. There's no way we're missing your flight," Dawn stated.

"Even if it is on a private jet," Leaf said quietly with a tone of sadness.

I smiled. I knew how bad she wanted to get on my jet. "Okay. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

I gave each of my friends a hug except Paul. I gave him a fist bump and he smirked in return.

"Ready to go?" I turned to Drew. We'd told Mom earlier that he was going to take me home and hang out with me for the rest of the evening.

Luckily, Mom had left a while ago so I could finally be alone with Drew even if it only was for a couple minutes.

"Yep, let's go," he said and wrapped an arm around my waist before whisking me off. I sent a wave over my shoulder to my friends. Gosh, I didn't want to leave them but I had to.

When we got to his truck, he trapped me against the door, both of his arms on either side of my head.

"Did I ever get the chance to tell you that you look stunning?" He asked me. My face turned red to my displeasure and I shook my head.

"No." I was still dressed in my concert outfit. Makeup, hair, shoes; everything.

Drew smiled at me. "Well you do," he stated before closing the gap between us and kissing me gently on the lips. Almost like, he was cherishing it because this was probably going to be one of our last kissed for a while. Pain tugged at my heart at the thought of that.

When he pulled away he kissed me once more on the lips and then pulled away completely. He sent me another dazzling smile and walked around the car after opening my door for me. Nice, at least chivalry wasn't dead yet.

I buckled myself in and Drew started the car.

"I'm going to miss you more than anything," I told him, trying to ignore the tightening of my throat and the stinging in my eyes.

"I am too. I really am." His eyes left the road and flashed to mine quickly before turning to the road once again.

Even though it was short when we locked eyes, I still saw the pain in his eyes. My vision grew blurry and I felt one tear slip down my cheek. I decided not to talk until we stopped at my house.

Once we were there, Drew turned the key, making the car grow silent. He turned to face me after unbuckling his seatbelt and I followed suit.

"Don't cry," he murmured and wiped the saltwater away for the second time today. "It's going to be okay, we'll work it out. I promised you that, didn't I?" I nodded numbly.

"Yes, but… but, I'm doing exactly what I told you I wouldn't do," I said, thinking back to the night of the dance. It seemed like ages ago.

The night he told me everything. He said that he loved me even though he tried so hard not to because he was afraid of getting hurt. End result: he did get hurt. He told me that he didn't want to have to be chasing after me like in the movies. End result: he would be chasing me but he'd never catch up to me considering I'd be across the country.

It's not like I wanted Drew to break up with me again. Those were the worst days of my life. It was unbearable and I wasn't going back to that, no matter how selfish it sounds. But, I did want him to know that I'm sorry.

"May," Drew started but I held up a hand.

"Don't confuse yourself please. I want to be with you more than anything. We're not breaking up no matter what," I clarified, looking deep in his eyes. Emerald meets sapphire.

"But," I continued, "I do want you to know I'm so sorry. I'm grateful that you fell in love with me but I'm so sorry that it ended up hurting you. I'm also really sorry that I'm running away from you when I told you I wouldn't. I know we're not going to be away from each other forever. There's winter break and summer and everything but still. For now… I'm sorry. But you know what's even worse and completely selfish? I'd do it all over again as many times as I could just because I got to have the opportunity to fall in love with you and you love me back. I truly love you with all my heart, Drew. And all I want you to know is… I'm sorry," I whispered the last part of my long apology.

The tears were freely flowing down my cheeks now and my face was buried in my hands, shoulder shaking from my silent sobs.

Then, I felt Drew pull me into him and he kissed my forehead, letting his lips linger there. I cried into his shoulder – probably soaking his shirt – and he hugged me tightly until my crying ceased.

"There's one thing I want you to know," Drew murmured into my hair.

"What's that?" I asked, peeking at his face from his shoulder.

"I won't allow you to be sorry because this isn't the last time we'll see each other. Sure, it's painful now but like I said, we'll work it out… but I'm selfish too. I'd do it time and time again too because you fell in love with me. Not May Maple, May Miracle or any of the months but May did. Only May fell in love with me. Saying that, I don't care you're famous. Screw all the press and shit because they don't own May and May can come to me any time she needs me because guess what? I'll always be chasing after her, no matter what."

My eyes widened and I hugged him even tighter if that were possible.

"Drew, that was the… sweetest and nicest and loving thing anyone has ever said to me," I said as more tears began running down my face again. But this time, they were tears out of pure happiness. "People always use me because I'm famous and they… they… Just… you're amazing."

"I am one of a kind aren't I?" Drew teased and I heard the smirk in his voice.

I laughed and looked up at him. He wiped the last of my tears away and smiled down at me. I mirrored his actions.

"No matter what the situation you always make me smile in the end," I told him.

"I know. It's because I like it when you smile," he said, offering an extremely attractive smile of his own that was even bigger than his previous smile.

"Do you think it's possible to explode with love?" I asked with a laugh.

Drew kissed my cheek lovingly and I almost melted. "You're weird," he teased. I smiled even wider. How I loved this guy.

I glanced at the clock in his car and saw it was only around one-thirty. School had been released after my concert because there was no way the teachers could calm the students down after that.

"Come inside?" I asked Drew and placed my hand on one of his cheeks.

"Of course," he said. I chuckled and planted a short kiss on his lips and then hopped out of the car and met Drew on my porch.

"Let's go." I tugged at his hand and we walked inside and headed to the kitchen.

"Mom?" I asked when I saw her at the table. Her reading glasses were on and her mouth was hanging open as she read something on the computer.

"May…" Mom said slowly. Worry spread throughout my body. "Come look at this," she said and ushered me over with the wave of her hand.

Drew and I exchanged glanced before we both went over to join her in front of the screen. I almost fell over at what I read.

May Maple and Brendan Birch Officially a Couple?

"Holy! Mom, who did this?" I asked her.

She shook her head. "I wish I knew. Oh gosh, I need to go call Brock." Mom got up and went upstairs to discuss what was going to happen with my agent.

I took her spot at the kitchen table and scooted over so Drew could sit with me. My eyes scanned over the article on the home page of the website.

Could Hollywood's favorite stars be an official couple? Luckily, we have the scoop. Sources say that Brendan has constantly been talking, texting and video chatting May nonstop while on the set of his new movie. "May's a really great person to be around. She's hilarious and kind and let's face it, beautiful," Brendan told us when we asked him about his relationship with her. Ooh-la-la, at least we know what Brendan thinks. As soon as May comes back from her vacation all answers will be revealed!

"I'm going to kill him," I muttered and angrily slammed the poor laptop shut. Then, I remembered Drew was still with me so I turned to face him. "Drew, none of this is true, I swear!"

"Hey, I believe you. I know it's not true anyway," he tried to reassure me.

I sighed out of relief. "Thank goodness." I blinked and held up my pointer finger. "Wait."

Drew gave me a look but he realized what I was doing once I whipped out my phone and angrily pressed on Brendan's number. While it was ringing, Drew perked a brow at me.

"You have his number?" he questioned and folded his arms. Oh, he sure looked sexy when he was jealous.

"I used to be his friend. I never clear my contacts anyway," I said. Drew pursed his lips but then let it go.

"Speaker," Drew commanded and I complied.

"Hello?" Brendan said after I pushed the speaker button.

"Brendan," I growled.

There was a pause. "Oh crap. You saw it didn't you?"

I laughed sarcastically. "Yeah indeed I did. Now tell me why the hell did you give them reasons to call us a freaking couple?" I exclaimed into the phone. I felt arms wrap around me and Drew rested his chin on my shoulder in a way to tell me to chill out.

"Whoa, hold on Maple. They twisted my words! I swear! I said you were funny and kind. Nothing about you being beautiful."

"That boosts my self-esteem," I said flatly.

"Shut up, you know you're beautiful," he sighed. Drew muttered something under his breath that sounded like, "Watch it buddy".

"Thank you. Aside from that, what about keeping in touch with me nonstop?" I questioned. I wanted this sorted out so at least I knew what was going on.

"I've actually been getting calls from Brianna so after a while I answered them and she told me all about your little gig going on and why she went there… don't worry, though, I won't tell anyone." Thank goodness.

"Oh… Wait, why was Brianna talking to you in the first place? Unless you guys are…" I trailed off, growing excited. How I loved romantic situations… even if they were with some of my least favorite people…

"No, you of all people should know that we're over and have been over. Wait, how did this change from some stupid article to me and Brianna?" He asked.

"You're right… back to the point, you swear that you had nothing to do with this? And you're sure you don't… you know…" I began slowly. I could tell Drew was listening more intently now as well.

"I swear I had nothing to do with it. Cross my heart and hope to die. And what? Like you, love you, whatever it was?" Brendan's voice sounded teasing and I couldn't help the blush on my cheeks.

"Yes! Now, do you…?"

He laughed. "I don't think I do. If I did that would be extremely awkward though."

"Why would it be awkward?" I questioned. Brendan coughed nervously.

"No reason. I got to go. Nice talking to ya Maple." The line went dead after that.

I sighed out of frustration. "He always is so secretive," I commented lowly.

"What do you think he meant?" Drew spoke up. I shrugged.

"Brianna most likely told him about us so I guess it would be weird if he liked me now," I said.

"I guess," Drew sighed. I cracked a grin and put my phone on the table so I could talk to Drew.

"You aren't jealous are you?" I teased.

"As if," he scoffed.

I squeezed his cheeks and he glared at me. "You're cute when you are."

"Shut up." I laughed and let my hands fall down to his hands.

"May!" Mom called from upstairs, ruining what could have been an intimate moment.

I made a face and Drew laughed at me and kissed my nose. Smiling, I led him to the bottom of the stairs to see what was up.

"Yeah?" I called back up just as she was coming out of her room.

"Brock is going to call you later tonight because he wants to talk to you about what's going on. He's talked to me but he wants to talk to you as well. Sound good?" She asked.

I nodded my head. "Of course! I haven't talked to Brock since I've came here pretty much… Also, I really want to talk to him," I admitted with a huge smile breaking out on my face.

"Isn't Brock your agent?" Drew asked from behind me.

"Yes, he's practically family!" I explained cheerfully, turning to face him.

"On another note…" Mom's voice sounded once again. "You," she pointed to me, "need to pack."

I groaned followed by a roll of my eyes but complied anyway. "Okey dokey," I said and bounded up the step, tugging Drew with me.

"There's not much to pack though," I reminded Mom.

Drew furrowed his brow. "Why not?"

I faced him once we were in my room. "There wasn't much I brought in the first place. I only have to pack like half my closet and things like my toothbrush," I explained with a shrug. I also noticed Drew was looking around my room.

"First time I've been in here," he told me.

"I know that," I scoffed. "But it's not like I've been in yours either," I teased playfully.

"True," he said and came up to me to wrap his arms around my waist. My arms naturally went around his neck, relishing the feeling of him. After tomorrow, I wouldn't see him for a while… well aside from the orchestra concert but, still.

"You're distracting me," I muttered into his chest where I'd laid my head.

He openly laughed. "Ah, dear May, I'm always distracting you. This isn't the first time."

"Shut up," I exclaimed and slapped him.

He narrowed his eyes. "You need to go to a therapist about your violent actions."

"Aw, you know you love me, violent or not," I stated.

Drew sighed but nodded his head and then kissed my cheek and turned me around to face my closet.

"There, now you're not distracted by my sexy self and you can get some work done," he teased.

"You're so arrogant," I said while crossing my arms over my chest.

"You know you love it," he mocked me. I rolled my eyes but smile nonetheless.

"You're right, I do," I told him, my back still facing him. He came up to me and hugged me from behind.

"Love you."

"Love you too."

If anyone is watching over me in heaven, please don't let tomorrow come.
