~~~~~*~~~~~

May walked into her house with an angry dad behind her. Yes it was only about 1 o'clock which meant at least 2 hours of school left along with the football game. He knew she was the head cheerleader and she had to be there but he didn't get the memo about her getting kicked of the team.

"What happened, May? You were fine this morning."

"Well, I'm not. I thought everything would be okay when I walked out for school in the morning. Now I'm not feeling good."

"What's wrong? Why are you not wearing your cheerleading uniform?"

"Everything is wrong. My boyfriend cheated on me and I got kicked off the team in the same 24 hours."

"Wow. That sounds horrible."

"It is."

"I knew he was no good. Who did he kiss?"

May's eyes filled with tears as she sat on the nearby couch. Her hands covered her face as she said, "He didn't just kiss her. He slept with her."

"Who?"

"Sabrina."

"Sabby? Little Sabby Walker?"

"She's not so little anymore daddy." She looked at him uncovering her face to reveal tears still on her face. "She took the cheerleading captain away from me. Now I feel like a loner on the outside looking in. She embarrassed me like it was some kind of game. I just can't stand her. She took everything away from me. Daddy, I don't know what to do?" May cried louder while covering her face again.

"May," her father sat next to her and hugged her. "Don't let this get you down. You must have one good friend." May nodded her head. She had more than one good friend. She had Stephanie, Drew, and Dawn. She smiled at Dawn's return on Monday. "Plus I'd rather have one good friend rather than a million friends like Sabrina."

"Yeah I guess you're right." May sighed, "What about cheerleading captain?"

"I bet at that school they have another sport or program you can join afterschool."

"Okay. Thank you daddy," May smiled and started walking upstairs to her bedroom. Then she turned around and said, "Don't worry, dad. This won't happen again."

"That's my girl. We'll I've gotta go back to work. Stay out of trouble."

"Okay." Her father walked out of the front door and May continued up to her room.

~~~~~*~~~~~

May walked into her room with a huge grin on her face. She laid across her bed, turned her head and seen the picture of Brendan and her smiling together in the Petalburgh Cliff. She sat up looking at the picture with a blank face. Her fingers tightened around the frame and she threw it to the ground. The glass was shattered across the bedroom floor. She flinched when it touched the ground. Tears fell from her eyes once again. The events of the days came fluttering back to her mind.

"… sex with her boyfriend."
"May it's not what it looks like."
"You cheated on me… with Sabrina. Last time I checked she was my best friend."
"We decided to kick you off the squad."
"What about your rep? What about mine? We're perfect together. You've always cared about your rep. You're the head cheerleader. I'm the captain of the basketball, football and soccer teams. We're picture perfect."
"You let me go all the way last night."
"You can't break up with me."
"I love you."
"You can't break up with me."
"Hey she came to me."
"I'm the new cheer captain. There is nothing you can do about it."

Her eyes closed tightly. May screamed pulling her hair to inflict pain on herself. It was better than being hurt by them again. It was too much to handle. Her scream became louder and louder. Then she stopped. Her breath had gone away. She took deep breaths to try to get it back. Then the last words came into her mind.

"YOU NEED ME, MAY MAPLE."

Tears came from her eyes and she couldn't stop them from falling just like you can't stop the rain. Everything was changing too fast… way too fast. How could he? How could she? How could they? How could she ever trust anyone ever again?

~~~~~*~~~~~

It took her a couple hours to get into the mind state to actually stand. She stood then started to pace. She looked at the clock. It was 3 o'clock.

"May… May… It wasn't your fault." Tears welled up. "Maybe if I would have- no." She stopped herself from crying. "May stop thinking like that!!! You're not supposed to feel this way… Then how are you supposed to feel... Stop thinking like that. You never really liked him." May fell on the floor crying with her hands and head on the floor. Then she screamed, "Ouch." She forgot that the shattered glass was spread across the floor. Glass was stuck in her hands and blood began to drip unto the floor. She ran out of her room and ran right into her mom.

"Oh, hi mom gotta go." May tried to run past her mother but May was forced to stop when her mom called her name.

"May… Get back here. Don't you run away from me! Turn around and come back here and say hello to your mother properly."

May did as she was told and she hid her hands around her back not wanting to show her mother the blood on her hands. "Hello mother. How are you? When did you get home?"

"A couple minutes ago. I went grocery shopping. I got those cupcakes you love so much."

"Wow. Mom. Thanks." May said sarcastically.

"Why are you hiding your hands behind your back?" May was silent. "Let me see your hands."

Then the doorbell rang. "Oh let me get that." May hurried downstairs to get the door. When she held the doorknob, her eyes tightened in pain. The glass went into her skin deeper but she smiled and pretended it didn't hurt.

"Hey, Drew. What are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to drop off your homework."

"Umm… Thanks." Drew held out his hand to hand her the homework sheets. May held out her hand to grab them. Drew seen the blood on her hands and grabbed her hand. May scrunched her eyes in pain. Drew loosened his hand gripping her hands. The blood dripped into his hands as he held hers.

"Let me help you." May nodded and let him in.

"Mom, this is Drew. Drew this is my mother."

"Hello, ma'am."

"Hello Drew… May, let see your hands." May sighed and showed her mother her hands. A hand went over her mother's mouth. "Oh my gosh. I'm going to call the doctor." May's mother ran passed her and Drew.

"Where is your bathroom?" May lead him to the bathroom and they entered. Drew turned on the cold water in the sink and closed the drain so the cold water became a puddle in the sink. When he did, he placed May's hands underneath them. The blood spread in the sink. May scrunched her eyes in pain once more.

"It's cold."

Drew smirked, "It's supposed to be." Drew made sure her hands were placed in the water. When the sink was filled with cold water, he turned off the water and gently squeezed her hands. May felt more pain.

"Are you okay?" May just nodded as she watched the pieces of glass slip out of her hands. "Where is the hydrogen peroxide?"

"Underneath the sink in the cabin along with the first aid kit." Drew got the first aid kit and the hydrogen peroxide. He let out the water and poured the peroxide on her hands. It didn't hurt much. Drew then wrapped a rolling bandage around her hands. "You're not going to ask what happened."

"Are you going to tell me what happened?"

"… All I did was dropped glass on the floor and forgot it was there."

"Hmmm…"

"What?"

"Nothing," Drew said.

"Please don't start this again."

"What again?"

"Never mind."

"… You were thinking about Brendan. Weren't you?" May looked down and she was silent. "It's normal to miss him."

"I don't miss him… I was just thinking how naive I was to have trusted him. I should have seen it."

"You had no way of knowing."

"But that's the thing… I knew he was. I was just oblivious to the fact that he was. It's all so confusing."

Drew finished wrapping the bandage around both her hands. "… If you knew, then why didn't you break up with him?"

May started crying. "I don't know… I'm just so confused. The people I thought I knew, all the people I thought that I could trust. I now realize I can't. I don't know who to trust anymore." May cried even harder. Drew held her shoulder.

"May, you can trust me. What about Dawn?"

"I really don't know." May cried harder. Somehow Drew found himself holding her tightly as she cried. Drew lifted her chin.

"You'll be okay." May looked up into his eyes and seen a promise: he wasn't going to hurt her. Somehow the space between them disappeared and they shared a kiss. The kiss was passionate and long. When they pulled away, they smiled at each other. Then Drew remembered her dilemma. Drew backed away from her. "I don't want anything between us to happen right now."

"Drew what are you talking about?"

"I don't want you to be hurt."

"I don't understand."

"You still are getting over him. I don't want you or me to get hurt because of what we're rushing into."

May looked down. "I understand." Then she felt something lifting her chin. She looked up to see it was Drew. Their eyes linked and everything around them seemed to disappear.

"I do like you, May. I truly do and I want to be friends but it's too early to be in a relationship right now."

May nodded her head. He peeked her on the forehead. She deeply sighed in soft tone. She smiled. Then he backed away from her and opened the door for them to leave. The second May walked out of the bathroom, her mother came to them.

"May, we are going to the doctor so she can check your hands."

"Thank you for your help, Drew." May said.

Drew nodded, "No problem. I guess I better go. Goodbye, Mrs. Maple."

"Maybe we'll see you again, Drew."

"Maybe." Drew walked downstairs to leave.

"He's a nice boy." May barely heard her mother's words as her eyes followed Drew down the stairs. She sighed sweetly wondering how he made something so wrong so right.
