START

Chapter 5- Worried Well Wishers

Dawn finally caught up with Drew. She put a hand on his shoulder and mumbled "She'll be fine, look, why dont you be the first one to go see her? I am sure the others wont mind."

Drew nodded not looking at her "Thanks, I'll be fine I am just in shock."

Dawn nodded understanding. She felt a bit of shock too seeing how a harmless joke could turn against you.

They walked back to the room in silence each thinking their own thoughts.

Drew – God, I cant believe that was the May I have feelings for... wait! I do have feelings...now its confirmed...how can such a bubbly girl become so motionless? Shit I wont be able to sleep unless I hear her voice again today...seeing her lifeless was...shocking, to put it lightly.

Dawn- Oh please let her be alright, please let her be alright by the evening, please let her be perfectly alright by the evening adding more and more and repeating it over and over till they reached the room.

Dawn and Drew entered looking downcast to see Misty sleeping with her head on Ash's lap and the boy stroking her hair. When Ash saw the two enter his finger immediately went to his mouth indicating to them to be quiet and simultaneously nothing their glum faces.

He patted to two seats next to him telling then to sit down without actually speaking and the two sat down while trying to make as less noise as possible.

"So, what happened?" Ash whispered looking from one to the other for an explanation. Pikachu followed his actions.

Dawn looked at Drew and seeing he could not get himself to speak she took a deep breath and started explaining. "She is fine, but has a broken hand; Nurse Joy and Brock are working on her now and Nurse Joy will send Brock to us when May is fit enough for visitors, Drew will be the first one to go."

Ash looked at the green headed coordinator, noting his expression then nodded. "By the Way, Misty and I are together now."

Dawn squealed lightly "Finally, it took you guys long enough to realize" ; Drew just nodded to tell him he acknowledged what Ash said and then dragged his chair to the window to look out and worry about May.

Misty stirred and Ash whispered something to her and she nodded. Then she sat up and Ash gestured to Dawn to help Misty to go back to her own room which she shared with the other two girls.

As the two girls walked out Ash headed over to Drew. He placed his hand lightly over the younger boys shoulder. Drew shook his hand off. "Dont touch me!" He hissed.

Ash was not surprised at his attitude, apparently he had expected it. "Calm down, dude!"

Drew whipped around to face him, "I cant, I just CANT, dont you see I cant calm down, May is in there in pain and troubled and I cant do anything and you others dont even...oh! Forget it." He stopped and turned back to the window not wanting to hurt Ash's feelings.

Pikachu jumped off of Ash's shoulder and bolted out of the room to find Misty scared by Drew's tone of voice.

Ash did not seem fazed at all, "Are you done screaming?" He asked.

Drew instantly knew what Ash meant to do He meant me to pour it all out that's why he sent Misty and Dawn out, he actually... understands... The still slightly confused boy nodded.

"Good, now listen" Ash sighed and thought it was not easy but I had to let him take it all out otherwise he would not have digested what I will say. "May is gonna be just fine, Ok? Did you get that?"

Drew nodded.

"She only has a broken arm. Lots of people have got broken arms and need to have surgery but still come out unscathed from it. Dont worry think about something else for now and before you know it Brock will come in and cheerfully announce that May is just fine, all she needs is a nice rest." Ash comforted the boy and was hardly finished when Brock appeared.

Both boys looked up and Drew paled.

Brock smiled "She's just fine, but if you want to see her I should warn you she looks a little pale."

Drew nodded "I still want to see her... Is she conscious?"

Brock's smile vanished "Not yet but she should come around in approximately Fifteen minutes."

Drew nodded again and headed for the Operation theater. Brock called after him "She is not in the theater anymore she's in the room just before that, its the Recovery Room."

Drew put his hand in the air to indicate that he heard and just kept walking on.

Brock smirked "Some things never change."

"Umm... Brock, shouldn't we go get my girlfriend and Dawn and head to the room?" Ash asked carefully analyzing Brock for his reaction to the word girlfriend.

"Na, best leave them alone for...WAIT ! DID YOU JUST SAY GIRLFRIEND?" Brock's tone took a drastic change as he realized what Ash had said.

Ash nodded.

"Good for you boy, good for you. You finally realized." Brock grinned patting his Best Friend on the back.

Ash grinned "I realized it before but just dint have the guts to confess to anyone."

"Come on, lets go get them." Brock said, Ash agreed and both of them walked out to go to the girls room.

xxxxxXXX MEANWHILE WITH DREW XXXxxxxx

Drew walked towards the theater and turned into the room before it as directed by Brock. He gasped at what he saw.

Before his eyes lay May, her hand done up in plaster and a tube attached to her shoulder through which she was probably getting her nourishment and her face OMG Her face is the worst ! She looks so pale I would have thought she was a ghost if I had not known better!

Drew walked over to the pale girl, sat beside her bed and stroked her hair. It was soft, very soft, even though she had an accident her hair is as soft as it looks and is in perfect condition.

He sat there stroking her for a while and just thanking god that she was alright and partly hoping she would wake up, partly hoping that she would not. Then Ash, Misty, Dawn and Brock walked in.

Ash, Misty and Dawn gasped like Drew had done when he had seen May but after the initial horror they calmed down and also after Brock reassured them that it was not as bad as it looked and that she would be well enough to go to Silver in the evening even though her arm would still be in the plaster.

Surprisingly though Drew spoke up, "I dont think we should go by this ferry, the girls should have some rest."

May apparently had woken up and heard what Drew had said "No!" She said in a horse whisper "We have to go, we have to help them; we have to do it for the world not for us, not for our friends for the people we dont know and maybe our future friends. If you dont go I will go on my own."

Drew looked worried. Misty was the person to reply to May's speech- "I agree with May, what if we are hurt there are many people who may get hurt worse than us if we dont help them."

Drew nodded knowing what they were saying was true but not wanting to risk May getting hurt again he made himself a promise. I will protect her with all my heart. If anything happens to her then it will be my fault. I will protect her from now on, I will never let her go on her own anywhere dangerous. If anything happened to her my name is not Drew Hayden.

May sat up and nodded determination showing in her sapphire orbs. Drew's heart leaped Her eyes look so beautiful right now.

"Who all agree on going today?" Brock decided to take a vote. Each and every hand went up. He grinned "Well I guess that settles it."

May grinned too "I feel a lot better." she said stretching out and her hand hitting Drew on his head as he was sitting on the bed next to her.

"Hey! Watch your hand, your the most clumsiest person on this earth!" Drew shot at her looking annoyed.

"Oh, right" said May rolling her eyes "and your the most annoying"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am too"

"Are not" Drew grinned as May slapped her head.

"Can you guys stop bickering long enough for May to rest?" Dawn said.

"Though it certainly shows that May and Drew are both back to normal" Ash chuckled.

May looked surprised "What was wrong with Drew?"

Misty giggled "He was worried about you."

May looked at Drew disbelievingly waiting for an explanation.

"Couldn't loose one of my rivals now could I?" Drew said, just like that; watching her reaction from the corner of his eyes.

May felt a little hurt, but hid it well; not realizing Drew was testing weather she liked him or not. Why do I feel hurt? Even though I know I like Drew its only a little crush...right? He can never like me back that way... But I guess I want him to... maybe its more than just a little crush after all. I'll give him a chance. If he likes me then he will take it otherwise...actually I dont want to tink about that.

May shook her head and Drew looked at her queerly. "What?" she asked.

"Nothing," Drew said tearing his gaze away from her sapphire orbs.

"Come on guys we can take May back to the girls room. She is fit now. You can walk cant you?" Brock asked.

May nodded and got up them stumbled and was about to fall when Drew caught her. He pulled her back up and she muttered "thanks" turning slightly pink.

Drew chuckled Test one pass "Anytime." He said smirking at her blushing face.

May walked to the room with Ash and Brock in front of her leading the way, Drew beside her supporting her and Dawn and Misty behind ready to catch her if necessary, Though it was certainly not because Drew helped her as much as he could and Misty and Dawn chuckled to see it.

Once they reached the room Drew helped May to get on the bed and she was given the news of Ash and Misty being together.

May laughed happily and clapped her hands "Yay! Finally, I am so happy!"

Drew smiled inwardly to see her so excited.

Misty smiled "Thanks, you were a great supporter."

"Come on lets leave the girls alone to rest and we boys will go to our room." Ash said giving Misty a goodbye peck on the head and dragging Drew and Brock back to their room.

The girls watched the boys leave and then Misty said "He like you."

"Huh?" May was confused. Dawn just nodded.

"May, Drew likes you, he was worried sick when you got hurt." Misty explained patiently.

"I dont believe you, even if he did then I will wait till I get the chance or he makes the first move though I will act better."May said weighing the possibilities of what Misty said being true in her head. The possibility was high.

Dawn giggled "I think that's for the best May, Misty was not asking you to go and kiss him now!"

"Oh!" May blushed.

"You should get some sleep, we all will also rest. We will wake you up in enough time for you to get ready for the ship." Misty said.

May nodded "Thanks."
