3/24/17: ya'll, i don't know if anyone new is still reading this story but long ago (four years ago WOWZA) i was attempting to edit this but honestly I'm just going to leave it. The writing is awful and there are plotholes but it was my first real story and it's nice to look back and see how I've improved. so, yeah. and, also, at the bottom I mention how there is another chapter but that was when there was a sequel for this and I've gotten some messages asking if I'll eve finish but it is finished! i promise! love you all, thank you for always supporting me!

Okay, so this is a day late but because it was my b-day yesterday will you forgive me? Anyway, I just want to thank all of the reviewers from last chapter: theasianwonder, eeveeluvr, .US, Monochrome13, AdorableMe, Sapphayn, Fprmr1, LoveLoverGrl, SappirePrincess, and lovepeacehopejoyx

Thank you all so much! Now for this, if you cry easily get the tissues because even I was typing while typing this. Please, enjoy! Plus, I don't own Pokemon:)

Apparently there really wasn't anyone watching over me in heaven. I hadn't slept even a wink tonight… or last night or whatever you call it.

Drew had stayed until eleven at night and we parted with a kiss and an "I love you".

Sighing, I forced my heavy lids to open and glance at my clock; three in the morning. I grumbled to myself and decided to just get up now. It's not like I'd fall asleep anyway. I had so many things on my mind.

What was I going to do when I got back to California? I don't even have a plan. I need to decide if I'm going to tell all my fans the truth or not. Of course the paparazzi will be all over me but it'll blow over soon, right? And, I bet the news would get out soon whether I was the one who put it out there or not. Another thing I had on my mind that bugged me to know end was Brianna. I know that I shouldn't be worrying about her – or caring for that matter – but the thought always ended up creeping back in my mind. Was Brianna going to tell anyone? She already told Brendan. Not only that but when we met up again I couldn't help but wonder if we'd be on "friendlier terms".

I sighed again and tossed the comforter off my body and stumbled to the light switch across my room. When the little switch went skyward I quickly covered my eyes with my hands. Ouch, that was bright.

After about three minutes of opening my eyes and quickly shutting them – repeat – I was finally awake enough to be productive. Or as productive you can be at three a.m.

Somewhere between walking over to my bathroom I zoned out and started of thinking about hanging out with Drew last night.

"There," I had announced and wiped the imaginary sweat off my brow. "All done."

"May, you packed literally two bags. It took you less than an hour," Drew stated from his spot on my bed.

I rolled my eyes and walked to sit next to him. "You're such a party pooper."

Drew looked at me strangely. "This was a party?"

In reply, I simply stuck my tongue out and fell back on my bed with my arms above my head and hair splayed out around my face. I blew a hair out of my eyes at the same time I felt Drew fall back into the same position as me.

"So about your art project…" Drew began and I turned on my side to see him better.

"What about it?" I asked, not knowing what he was getting to.

"I am honored that you would base it off of me," he said with a wink.

My face immediately flushed crimson and it found a nice spot in Drew's chest where it could stay hidden. There weren't too many reasons why I should be embarrassed but I was. I just now realized I sang about me and Drew in front of the whole school. Now that wasn't necessarily a bad thing but for some reason, the fact that I sung about real situations between us made it all the more embarrassing. At least for me.

"You should be," I retorted, trying to brush off the fact that my face was on fire.

His finger lifted up my chin. "I'd give you an A plus." His lips found mine in a quick kiss. It wasn't anything special but it still made my legs turn into Jell-O.

"Hey Drew?" I spoke up after a couple minutes of laying in comfortable silence.

He hummed, signaling he was listening.

"What made you fall in love with me?" I didn't exactly know how that thought had come to me but it just did and I was growing curious. I had always wondered…

"That's random. Where'd that come from?" He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, it just popped into my head." Drew laughed.

"If I'm being completely honest I'd have to say how you were always blushing."

"My… blushing?" I questioned, my brows furrowing in confusion. That's what made him interested in me? My blushing?

He laughed again and trailed his fingers up my cheekbone. "That's why I got on your nerves; so I could watch you blush." That had made my face flare. "See? It's cute," he admitted and smirked at my flushed face.

"I guess that's sweet," I contemplated.

"Of course it was," he smirked. "And while we're on the topic what made you fall for me?"

"You're eyes," I said without a second thought. "They're just… I don't know how to explain it but I really like them." I blushed once again.

"Oh, was that why you mentioned them in your song?" He attempted to embarrass me.

My eyes narrowed. "Drew!"

I chuckled as I thought of yesterday. Somehow Drew would always manage to embarrass me to no end. Then again, I had plenty embarrassing moments while I've been here.

When I walked outside I saw Misty, Leaf, Dawn and quite a few other kids. Apparently some had free period now while others had it later.

The courtyard itself was so cool and pretty. The ground was grassy but had stone paths leading to stone tables and a little pond with trees. It seemed like a nice spot to hang out, do homework, or eat lunch. Or even better, play music. I sighed happily and then walked over to the girls and took a seat next to Misty on one of the stone benches that was attached to the table

"Hey May." Misty greeted me. "How do you like Miami Coast High?"

"I totally love it! Except this guy named Drew who is officially on my hate list," I said grumpily while crossing my arms.

Leaf laughed. "I see you've met the school jerk and lover boy Drew Hayden?" I stared at her curiously.

"Lover boy?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, the girls here are all over him," Dawn added in.

"But he's never had a girlfriend. Not really friends either. He hangs out with Ash and stuff but he's not really friends with him. You know what I mean," Misty told me. For some reason I was kind of comforted when I heard he's never had a girlfriend. I blushed slightly. I must have put something in my cereal this morning.

"Oh," was all I could say.

"May, you're blushing," Misty pointed out while smiling.

"Oooh, does someone have a crushy-wushy on Drewy-wewy?" Leaf teased in a fake baby voice.

"How cute! You know he is still a big jerk but you'd look totally adorable together!" Dawn cooed.

"Oh shut up!"

I laughed again thinking of my first day at school. If Mom heard me, she'd think I was insane. Standing in the middle of my room and laughing to myself and three in the morning – almost four.

Deciding I spent enough time for now thinking of my friends embarrassing me, I walked over to my closet and went inside. I pulled out skinny jeans, a white V-neck and red Converse. Comfy enough for a plane and appropriate for the mild and unpredictable weather of home sweet home.

I threw a glance at my clock and saw it was about a quarter past four now. About three more hours until everyone got here. Except Drew who made it clear he was coming at six and no later. I tried to tell him that it was fine but he wouldn't budge. In reality I was glad that he was coming earlier even if I didn't show it.

After changing, I went to the bathroom and began brushing my hair which turned out to be quite the challenge. Even if I didn't sleep at all I was still tossing and turning nonstop. It was probably one of the most restless nights I've ever had.

When my hair was tamed I grabbed my toothbrush and squeezed a pea sized amount of toothpaste on it. I began brushing and smiled at the memory when I saw Drew in the toothpaste aisle from what seemed like such a long time ago.

I walked in through the automatic doors and grabbed a little basket. First I went to the toothpaste aisle.

"Hmm, what kind did Mom want? Cinnamon or mint?" I tapped my chin and decided to go with the cinnamon flavored whitening kind. I got two tubes. Hey, I didn't know if I would use all my toothpaste tomorrow.

While walking out of the aisle I skidded to a stop upon seeing a pair of green eyes looking at me. It had been about a month since our encounter at the school and none of us has talked about it. Our bickering has actually gotten worse.

"Hey there, March." I rolled my eyes at Drew's annoying voice.

"When are you going to get it through your thick skull that my name is May? Can you say that? May," I repeated while puffing out my cheeks and getting in his face.

Drew stuck a hand out and put it in my face to promptly shove me back and deflating my cheeks in the process, making me spit all over his face. I smirked but Drew just wiped his face off.

"Please, why would I want to remember that name anyway? I never liked that month. Seriously, April showers bring May flowers? More like, April showers bring May mud," Drew said while flicking his hair. I groaned in annoyance, resisting the urge to slap the look off his face.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"You know just waiting in the toothpaste aisle for you to come just so you can ask me a bunch of questions that I don't want to waste my time answering," Drew said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes again and walked away.

Or at least I tried to.

"May! You left your basket. Real smooth."

Gosh, I hated Drew so much back then. It surprised me even how much I liked him now. Er – I guess even how much I love him now.

I spit the now foamy paste out of my mouth and cupped some water in my hands to get rid of the foam in my mouth. Giving myself a satisfied smile in the mirror I walked out and laid on my bed, my arm draped across my eyes. Eventually I fell asleep.

The feeling of a person sitting next to me woke me up. I slowly rubbed my eyes and opened them only to see Drew being the person that made my mattress dip.

"Drew?" I mumbled tiredly.

"The one and only," he said with one of his charming smiles.

I glanced at my clock. It was five after six meaning I slept a little less than two hours. I hadn't expected that.

"Who let you in?" I was still half asleep and hadn't absorbed the fact that Drew was here.

He chuckled. "That's the greeting I get? Caroline let me in."

"Oh, okay," I said.

I lazily sat up and ran a hand through my hair, surprised that it wasn't in tangles. Then I looked at Drew and I was fully awake.

"Oh! Drew," I said in shock.

He smirked at me. "Haven't we already been through this?"

"Sorry, I'm just out of it. I fell asleep at four thirty," I admitted with a sheepish smile. Drew gestured for me to sit with him.

"Rough night?" He asked as he encircled his arms around me and I laid my head on his shoulder.

"Pretty much," I sighed. "I'm going back home today. There's a lot on my mind."

Drew tapped my temple with his index finger. "Stuff actually goes on in there?"

"Drew," I whined which made him laugh. The corners of my lips turned up into a smile as well and soon I was laughing with him.

When our laughter died down my stomach grumbled.

"I think it's time to go downstairs," I declared and stood up. I grabbed Drew's hands and pulled him off the bed.

Downstairs we were greeted by Mom who was making pancakes, muffins, toast, eggs, bacon and coffee.

"Mom, what's all this?" I questioned, pointing at a bowl or pancake batter.

"All your friends are coming over, right? They'll want breakfast," she said.

I nodded in approval. "You're right. Thanks Mom," I thanked.

"Thanks Caroline," Drew thanked as well but he threw in a wink making Mom laugh and me roll my eyes.

"Drew, you are such a nice and handsome man. I can't wait for you to come out to Los Angeles soon," Mom told him from her spot by the stove.

I rolled my eyes again though I was glad he got along well with Mom at least.

"Make sure we video tape it whenever he meets Daddy," I laughed and picked up a blueberry muffin on the counter.

Drew ripped off a piece of my muffin, ignoring the glare I sent him. I don't like it when people touch my food and he knows that.

"Is he protective?" Drew questioned us.

"You could say that," I said with a smile.

"You could also say that May's a Daddy's girl so it motivates him even more," Mom added. I nodded but blushed slightly at the 'Daddy's girl' comment.

Drew shrugged and smiled crookedly. "It'll be fine."

"Of course it will because you're the great Drew Hayden, am I wrong?" I teased.

He smirked. "You're actually very right. I am great."

"Shut up."

"You guys are just too adorable!" Mom suddenly squealed making me jump.

"Mom!" I face palmed so I could do two things. Cover up my blush and… face palm.

She put her hands on her hips. "It's true," she sang before turning back around and flipping a pancake.

"Why thank you, Caroline. I think May's pretty adorable myself," he said smoothly. My blush deepened but I knew he was just sucking up to Mom in the smoothest way possible.

Mom whirled around and pointed her spatula at Drew. "That, May, is an ideal boyfriend right there. If only your father had been that charming in college," she muttered the last part to herself but I still caught it and covered my mouth so I wouldn't laugh.

When I recovered I said sweetly, "Yeah, yeah. He's charming I know but I'd prefer if we didn't talk about my relationship right now. Please?"

I was saved by the bell – literally – as the doorbell rang through the house.

"Score!" I exclaimed happily and skipped to the door. I pulled it open and was greeted with six of my favorite faces. One of the faces already had tears streaming down her face.

"May!" Dawn cried out and latched on to me. Her legs were around my waist and her arms were around my neck. If she didn't have the tiny frame she did, I would have toppled over.

"Dawn," I laughed, "Why're you crying? I'm still here."

"I miss you already," she sniffed. I laughed again and she unwrapped herself from me and planted her feet on the ground.

Once I free from Dawn's grip two more people decided to latch on to me; Ash and Gary who were fake sobbing and both sitting on the floor while holding my legs. I arched a brow and gave each of them a look. Leave it to them to try and make every one laugh.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" Leaf asked dryly.

"My thoughts exactly," Misty said while slowly shaking her head.

"Shut up! We're having a moment here!" Gary exclaimed. The corners of my lips twitched.

"I miss you already!" Ash cried out. I broke out in a fit of giggles and fell on the floor in between them.

All three of us were clutching out stomachs and laughing like maniacs. I would miss Ash and Gary's stupidity so much when I was gone.

"What happened here?" I heard Drew as Paul. I was too busy lying on my stomach and slapping my hand against the floor to see him.

Gary and Ash were both in the same state as me. Ash had tears rolling down his cheeks and Gary was kicking his legs up in the air.

"Why are we even laughing, it's not even funny," I choked out, breathing for much needed air.

"I don't know," Ash answered between his laughs.

After five minutes all three of us settled down and were lying on the floor catching our breath. Everyone was staring at us with amused looks on their faces.

"That was probably the most amusing things I've seen in my life," Paul spoke up with a smirk etched on his face.

"I've got to agree with you there," Misty nodded her head in agreement.

"Food!" Mom randomly exclaimed from the kitchen. Both Ash and I shot up, looked at each other, nodded and ran to the kitchen.

"Wow," I heard everyone chorus along with their footsteps.

Once everyone had their food we moved to the dining room table to eat. Mom went to talk to Dad on the phone, probably to see when he'd arrive in Los Angeles from his business trip.

For about an hour we ate until we were about to explode and laughed about the stupidest things. Before I knew it, it was time to leave.

All of us cleaned up our messes and we were all about to leave.

"Wait!" Mom interrupted.

"Yeah?" I asked.

She pulled out her camera. "Can I please take one picture?"

"Sure," I said with a smile.

We all shuffled outside and positioned ourselves in front of the house.

"Ready? And click," The camera made the noise and flashed and Mom looked at the screen and busted out laughing.

"What is it?" Leaf questioned.

"You guys are crazy," Mom said with a laugh.

We all looked at each other and chorused, "We know."

The car ride was about thirty minutes before we pulled up to where my private jet was. Usually, I would be flying commercial in first class but Mom, Brock and I decided it would probably be best for me to go private considering I've been on a "vacation" for so long.

I'd ridden with Drew in his truck and Leaf, Gary, Ash, Paul, Misty and Dawn had all ridden together. Mom had gone in the car we kept at out temporary house.

When we arrived there, the jet was ready to go but I still had about thirty minutes to say my goodbyes and everything.

"May!" Mom called as soon as I got out. When I looked at her she was pointing to the jet. Brock was standing there with a big grin on his face.

"Brock!" I screamed and ran up to him. He grabbed me in a bear hug and my feet weren't even on the ground. "Why are you here?" I asked.

"I came so I could ride back with you of course," he said with his smile. "It's good to see you, May."

"You too." My smile was big when he set me back down on my feet.

Brock's squinty eyes shifted to where my friends were.

"Are those your friends?" Brock asked me. I nodded my head happily. "Which one's your boyfriend?" He whispered in a teasing voice.

I blushed. "The Grasshead."

Brock laughed and gave me a nudge. "Go say goodbye. I'll be waiting in the plane." He gave me another of his dazzling smiled before walking away.

I ran back up to all of them and was caught in a hug from Misty. I held on to her tight.

"Misty, I'll miss you so much," I whispered in her ear and added, "Thank you. Thank you for making me realize that I loved Drew." I was referring to that day in Spanish class when we were passing notes.

"I'm not kidding! But think about it. I'm thinking you guys have a lot of chemistry even if you have known each other for a short while. You know the saying love at first sight? It's worth thinking over.

-Misty," was what the note read. For some reason I still remembered it.

"I'll miss you too. And no problem," she pulled back and winked at me. "You're amazing and I might even start watching those celebrity shows just because you're on them." We both laughed before we parted and she went to go and stand by the car she came in.

The next person I said goodbye to was Gary. We hugged and when we pulled away he ruffled my hair in a friendly manner.

"Next time I see you, I still expect you to be your perverted self, got that?" I joked.

"I'll always be a pervert," he scoffed and hugged me again and went to go join Misty.

I smiled at who walked up to me next. "Ash," I said and he pulled me into a brotherly hug. "I'll miss you and your comedic acts with Gary," I told him truthfully.

He laughed. "I'll miss you too. You're pretty much a chick version of me."

"You got that right," I smiled and gave him a high five. I flicked the bill of his hat before he left to stand with Misty and Gary.

"I'm already crying," Leaf laughed as she walked up to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Aw, you're going to make me start crying too," I murmured. My eyes had already been stinging ever since I said goodbye to Misty and now the lump in my throat was rising.

"May, you're one of the most amazing people I've ever met. I'll miss you so much," Leaf told me and I smiled at her words.

"You're amazing too. All of you guys are. Don't forgot though, I'll be back with my violin," I reminded her and she broke into a huge smile.

"Yeah, you will." She gave me one last hug before giving me a teary glance and running over to Gary and she hugged him.

The next person to say goodbye to was Paul.

"Hey Paul," I said casually and he let me hug him.

The thing I learned about Paul was he wasn't as cold hearted as he seemed. He just didn't know how to express his emotions well.

We pulled apart after a couple seconds and he looked me in the eye. "Thanks Maple. You got me and Dawn together and I want to thank you again."

I smiled at his words and pulled something out of my pocket. A piece of paper.

"No need to thank me, it would have happened sooner or later," I told him truthfully and handed him the note. He looked at it questionably. "It's for your sister. Give it to her, okay?" I asked and he nodded.

"See you around," Paul said and walked off with his hands in his pockets.

I turned around and saw Dawn. She'd been standing over in the corner and she had tears running down her pink cheeks. I'd definitely been the closest to her aside from Drew.

"Dawn," I said and the tears I'd been holding in began to race down my cheeks.

We grabbed each other in a tight hug and we were both crying.

"You're one of my best friends and I'm going to miss you really much but I know it's not goodbye forever… but I'm just really going to miss you and I already can't wait to see you again," Dawn told me. I smiled at her words.

"You're one of my best friends too. I'll keep in touch with you guys every day and know that we'll see each other soon okay?" I tried to reassure her.

Dawn wiped her tears away and smiled. "Okay. But, go see Drew. I know you want to see him the most," she said with a giggle. I blushed at her words and she turned and skipped to join everyone else who was chatting.

I looked for Drew but didn't see him so I walked behind his truck and I saw him. He was there because no one would be able to see us.

I wordlessly walked up to him and threw my arms around his neck and pulled him towards me so I could kiss him. He immediately responded back and he wrapped his arms around me so he could bring me even closer to him.

When we pulled away our noses were still touching.

"I want to give you some things," Drew told me and opened his door and pulled out a bouquet of beautiful red roses.

The thorns were gone and the petals looked so soft.

"Drew… what's this for?" I asked shocked. I looked into his eyes and he smiled.

"You thought I forgot about giving you roses right?" I laughed at that. "Well these are for every day until we see each other again," he explained to me and my mouth was open. It was so sweet of him.

He then pulled out a box.

"I also have this for you," he told me.

He opened it and inside was one of the prettiest rings I've ever seen. My mouth fell open even wider.

"What…" I couldn't even say anything. Drew took the ring out of the box and held it between his index finger and thumb.

"I know we haven't been dating for long but this is a promise ring. I want to give it to you so that when we're not with each other you'll still have this," he explained to me. "And so they'll know you're mine," he added with a playful grin. I nodded numbly.

Drew gave me the ring and I looked at it more closely. It was a beautiful white gold ring with a cluster of diamonds in the center making it appear to be a flower. Two more strings of diamonds wrapped around it. I marveled at it at for a while more.

"How much did you spend on me?" I asked him. This had to be at least two hundred dollars.

"Don't worry about, I have connections with the store," he assured me.

I slipped the ring on my ring finger of my right hand. Since this wasn't a pre-engagement type of thing I decided not to put it on my left hand.

"Where'd you get my ring size from?" I asked him curiously.

"Caroline," he said with a smile. That's probably why Mom was talking about me and Drew being all lovey-dovey this morning.

"Really, Drew, I don't know what to say. Thank you," I murmured and brought his lips to mine in a sweet kiss. I was the one to pull away.

"Love you," I told him.

"As do I," he said and I kissed him once more.

Drew tucked a piece of hair behind me ear. "I'll see you later, okay? It's not like its goodbye," he reminded me with a smile.

"Thank goodness it's not," I giggled. I kissed him one last time on the lips making sure I put everything into that kiss. When we pulled away I kissed him on the cheek.

"See you later."

With one last embrace I turned away from him making sure to get my bouquet. I walked over to Mom who was in front of the small plane.

"Are you ready to go, sweetie?" She asked me with her bright smile. I nodded my head and tried to ignore the tightening in my chest and the sting on my eyes.

"Wait, can you please give me one more minute?" I asked pleadingly. Mom nodded her head with a soft look in her eyes.

Before I could even comprehend what I was doing I was running towards my friends again and when I got there I looked at each of their faces.

Drew, Paul, Misty, Ash, Leaf, Dawn and Gary. Those six people had made such an impact on my life and I'd never forget them.

Soon I was in the middle of a giant group hug and we stood like that together until we all pulled away.

"I just want to say that you all have made such an impact on my life. The only friend I ever had ended up hating me so meeting you guys made my life. I love all of you guys," I told them truthfully.

"We love you too, May," Leaf assured me as she wiped away her tears.

Misty cleared her throat. "See you later," she said with her signature wink. I gave a small laugh.

"Right. See you later," I mimicked and gave them all one last wave before turning back around and at first walking slowly to the plane. It turned into a jog and then a sprint until I reached the steps of the jet.

I turned around and waved at them and gave them a reassuring smile before getting on board. I made my way across the white carpeted floor and sat down in a white leather chair across the aisle from Mom and Brock and glanced out the window.

Dawn was sobbing into Paul's chest and Misty and Leaf were each crying in their respective boyfriends' arms as well. Paul had his normal look on his face but he somehow seemed content as well but not in a bad way. Gary and Ash looked like even they were trying to hold in tears because the both kept blinking rapidly and rubbing their eyes. My eyes finally landed on Drew who was standing with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face.

I looked down at my ring and twisted it around my finger before smiling.

You'd think I'd have a lot of thoughts going through my mind right now. I thought I would too but I only had one thing that kept repeating itself.

I love you, see you later.

Smiling contentedly I looked at Mom and Brock and gave them a thumbs up.

"I'm ready to go home because I know it's not goodbye."

"That's the way, May," Brock said, looking proud of me.

The jet began to get ready for takeoff and as we sped down the ramp and went up into the clouds I wasn't nervous about anything anymore. All my fans would understand and the paparazzi would blow over eventually as well. And of course I'd see my friends and Drew again. I was coming back in about a month anyway even if I would have to leave anyway.

Instead of worrying about all of those things I was actually excited to see what tomorrow would bring.

The end.

Hahahaha, just kidding! We still have ONE MORE CHAPTER! (lies, there's no next chapter this is it!) So, how did you guys like the random memories? That was spur of the moment thing xD Along with the question I really want you guys to answer: Did this chapter live up to your expectations? I hope it did:)
