Okay it has been a while since I was on the computer so be happy!
Drew: I really can't.
May: Why?
Drew: Cuz I'm here.
Me: Such a little whiner!
May: Rolyn does not own pokemon.
How to Say Sorry
May released a depressed sigh as she laid spread out on her bed. She was even more bored then the times Drew was actually there forgetting that he was travelling with her and completely ignoring her; at least he was there. Maybe May was a bit too harsh on the whole matter, he was just playing after all….but it was still an inconsiderate a cruel joke to play on a friend you promised to help in a time of need especially when the reason they needed the help was because a crazed fangirl of his had over-jealousy.
"Keychimp….do you think I made a mistake?" May asked stroking the monkey pokemon on the head. Keychimp rubbed its head against her hand and shook its head. It was not the smartest decision to ask the pokemon who sided with you all the time and held a grudge against Drew.
May felt as if something was really taken from her, like something was missing. She had never been around Drew for such a long period due to the fact they traveled separate paths in the past, but now, after being in his presence for so long she felt deprived of something important to her now that they were separated once again.
"Maybe now's a good time to go visit Rolyn and the others…" She muttered reaching for her crutches. Keychimp hopped onto her shoulder as she took her room key and stuck it in her fanny pack.
"Roselia, Rosel." The rose pokemon scorned shaking a rose hand in her trainers face. Drew rolled his eyes and fell back into his bed so that he was looking at the ceiling of his hotel room.
"I know I did it again." He agreed pulling a pillow over his face. Roselia hopped onto the bed and sat next to him patting his hand in fake sympathy but actually with each pat she was hitting him and she checked if he winced just to make sure it hurt.
Drew knew he deserved it. How many times was he gonna hurt May and create that wall in between them that existed so many times before. It wasn't like he couldn't help it; it was just that he enjoyed seeing her enraged expression. It was a hobby he had; to make fun of her to some extent or limit. However, when he passed that limit, the controversy would erupt and the conflict of it all was created.
He never really enjoyed seeing May hurt but that was just the way he is. He never expected to hurt May the way he did but that's the way she is. Until he really understood…..
"Until I really understand her, I'll just have to lay off." His sentence came out as a muffled jumble from under the pillow but Roselia could understand completely was proud that he finally saw the error of his ways.
"Roselia Roselia."
"I don't know how I'm going to apologize!" He retorted sitting up and throwing his pillow across the room. He couldn't just ask for forgiveness or come up with a rose like he had so many times before, that solution to their arguments was overused by now. She had the right to hold a grudge by now….
Roselia shook her head and walked over to Drew's backpack. She unzipped it and stuck her roses in. After much difficulty and a lot of tugging she finally pulled out May's glass egg case. The egg was still perfectly intact and safe just how Drew intended to keep it when May asked him to hold it for her.
"That's it! Roselia you are a genius!" He commented picking up the egg. Roselia flicked some pretend hair as if to mock her trainer and he glared at her.
May stood at the door to her friends room; door 200, and she felt hesitant to knock. Maybe it was rude to be bothering them; all they did was assist her in a hard situation so why should she feel obligated to go to them in a time of need? They had just met a little over six hours ago…they were not really close at all. Keychimp looked at its trainer and tilted its head in confusion as to why she was just standing at the door.
"NELLY THAT WAS MY COOKIE!!!!!" the sudden outburst from the other side of the door made May jump. Obviously this was not the best time and that voice sounded like it belonged to Cizzi. May didn't want to back down though so she lifted her fist to knock
"I'll just get some more." Another voice said, it was Rolyn. The door swung open to bring Rolyn and May face to face and in the background in the room Cizzi and Nelly were on the floor with Cizzi trying to strangle Nelly; all that for a stupid cookie. "May! What are you doing here?"
"Uh hey, I'm staying at the pokemon center too so I thought I'd just stop by for a visit." May said with a fake smile. Cizzi and Nelly got off the floor and went to the door as well.
"Liar." Nelly said seeing through her little façade. "What's really wrong?" May pouted as she let out a sigh. Cizzi frowned at the new expression.
"What's up May?" She asked.
"Well I'm not exactly staying at the pokemon center with Drew….I sorta split up from him." May winced at her own words as if they had caused her pain just to mention the situation. A wave of sympathy came over the other three girls as they could see the hurt that May was feeling.
"Aw May, what happened?" Rolyn asked in a soft tone. May shrugged finding no real way to explain it. They had already perceived the concept that Drew had done something mean to her.
"It's really all based on my own scorning after you guys left…and I made the decision to go to separate places." She said letting the last few words come out as a shaky sigh. Maybe making the decision was not the best.
"Well I've been a similar situation with a boy named Jason, I hate him." Rolyn said spitting out the words as her face turned to an angry expression. Nelly and Cizzi rolled their eyes at her.
"Yea right." Cizzi snorted crossing her arms. Rolyn's expression changed to one of embarrassment.
"What? You know I hate Jason! He's a total snob." She said placing her hands on her waist. May looked at the trio confused.
"You know that you and Jason both like each other with a passion!" Nelly accused. Rolyn's cheeks flushed scarlet and May giggled.
"NOT TRUE! We hate each other with a passion!" Rolyn retorted. Cizzi shook her head.
"If you don't mind me asking, who is Jason?" May asked holding back any more giggles. She seemed distracted from her depression.
"Jason is a trainer from me and Rolyn's home town. They've disagreed on everything since they were like five. Jason thought gym battles were better, Rolyn liked contests, Jason liked night, Rolyn liked day, Rolyn liked ice pokemon and Jason liked fire types. They are opposites but Jason has had a crush on Rolyn since the day they met and Rolyn and she felt the same way, he was just at the last contest and was rooting for her." Cizzi explained. Rolyn blushed deeper and crossed her arms shaking her head in disagreement.
"I never liked Jason and he wasn't rooting for me, he was yelling critiques on my battle style!" Rolyn said in protest. Nelly shook her head.
"I didn't even know Rolyn and Jason for that long and it's obvious that they love each other."Nelly laughed poking Rolyn on the cheek. Rolyn swatted her hand away and furrowed her brow.
"We are not talking about my love life; we were talking about May's." She said directing the spotlight off of her. "And as I was saying, I'm sorta in your position May. Drew in some ways, is like Jason but in the end I just have to learn to forgive and forget. You don't have to feel obligated to, but that's how I was raised, no matter whom the person was I would forgive them. Drew seems like a pretty good friend, and you two seem close, despite what we said earlier about him being a jerk you should really just forgive him….if he says sorry that is…..Jason never said sorry." She said pouting a bit.
"Yea, but you forgave him anyway! You love him!" Cizzi said, Nelly busted out laughing. Rolyn let out and aggravated sigh before pushing Cizzi and Nelly back into the room and shutting the door.
"I was getting cookies, would you like to join me?" She asked as she reached into her jeans pocket for money. May nodded to say yes.
The two coordinators took the elevator down to the center lobby and Rolyn began to look for the food court. Both her and may weren't paying attention when Keychimp jumped of her shoulder and went scampering over to the front desk, latching onto somebody's leg.
"Ah! Keychimp, not again!" May called out crutching after her pokemon. Rolyn followed from close behind. May stopped when she saw the person that Keychimp had hooked itself to. Rolyn bumped into her back.
"Hey May…."
"Oh what a coincidence! It's Drew, we were just talkmfghhfgfffghhhghgh!" May clamped a hand over Rolyn's mouth before she could finish her sentence. The rest of her words came out as muffled craziness that turned into angry muffled craziness. May removed her hand and Rolyn glared at her.
"I can tell when someone wants me to shut up….so I'll just go get those cookies, see ya later May, Drew." Rolyn skipped off and May released a sigh of relief. Keychimp detached itself from Drew's leg and re-pearched itself on her shoulder.
"So…." Drew muttered avoiding eye contact. He never actually felt this awkward talking to someone he considered his closest friend, or maybe even more.
"So…" May repeated. She let her eyes wander and noticed her egg in Drew's hands. She gasped at the fact that she would forget it so easily. "My egg! I'm such an idiot. I forgot I left it with you, I hope I didn't cause you any more of an inconvenience than I already am." She said letting the last few words come out harsher then she intended. Drew got the hint that she was still mad and Roselia just rolled her eyes nudging the back of his leg making him take a step closer to her.
"Uh, yea. That's why I'm here. I wanted to give it back to you." He said holding out the egg. May looked at the egg then at him. He thought for a second and retracted his arms. "Oh yea, crutches."
"Yea, I sorta can't hold anything without falling over." She laughed. He laughed as well and Roselia smiled in a pleased way.
"The egg isn't exactly the only reason I'm here though. I came to apologize." He said in a tone just above a whisper. May's eye brows shot up in surprise.
"YAY!"
May and Drew looked around to see who had the sudden outburst and spotted Rolyn nibbling on a cookie. They both glared at her and she smiled sheepishly before running away.
"Okay that was weird, as I was saying, I'm really sorry. What I did was definitely wrong and I know you must think I'm the biggest jerk and I blame you if you're mad at me but I just wanted to get it out there that I'm sorry."
May stared at him blankly for a moment as if to process what he had just told her and then she finally smiled, released her crutches and hugged him making him fall over. He held the egg over his head to make sure it didn't break while she beamed at him.
"To be honest, I was hoping you'd apologize sooner than later." She whispered before giving him a kiss on the forehead. Roselia's eyes bugged out and she soon began to snicker to herself. Drew glared at her while his cheeks were overwhelmed by a blush he couldn't fight. May giggled.
"I'm glad you're not mad at me anymore, but could you please get off me?" He asked putting no regard to the fact that she had just kissed him on the head. She nodded and managed to get her crutches back and she got up. He got up as well still holding the intact egg.
"I promise that I'll try harder to be nice to you in the future May." He whispered giving her a one-arm hug. She blushed before smiling brightly again.
"I know Drew."
