(A/N: To be honestly speaking, I'm just glad people are reading my stories… I stopped updating cause I thought you guys didn't like my stories… Well, I don't really care anymore. You guys should just read or flame my writing just cause you want to ^^. Anyways, last chapter! Of part 1.)
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Pokemon. Or the characters. If I did, then I would have made it about May.
Chapter 4: It's Not a Paradise without You
A deep sigh escaped from May's lips. She held the heart of the diamond crusted necklace to her heart. The heart was open to the picture of May and Drew hugging. It was taken on the day May had won the Johto Grand Festival, not too long ago. Exactly a week ago, the festival was filled with coordinators who had won all five of their ribbons, including May and Drew.
"Drew… "May whispers. She looked up from the heart, focusing her attention to the sunset before her. The sun was setting on the beach, the beach where it all first started.
`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Beautifly, now use gust on the disc to make it spin!"
May threw three pink discs in the air. Beautifly successfully uses gust on all three, heading towards May. But the last one spins out of control and headed toward a sudden green haired guy standing on the balcony.
"Watch out!" May shouted in panic.
But before the disc could make impact, a hand shots out and the guy grabbed the disc between two fingers. The guy came down the balcony, coming to stand face to face with May.
"You're a coordinator? What kind of act was that?" the grassed head guy said smugly.
"You…! So what if I'm a coordinator?! I bet you're one too!" May shouted.
"Please… Don't put me in the same category as you. I'm a top coordinator." Drew finishes with his hair flip.

May smiles to herself at the memory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May sat in the waiting room waiting for the results of the first round; and to see if you made it into the second where she would face who she was going to be battling. As May looked down to her hands and red flower appeared in front of her. She looked up to come in contact with a thorn less rose.
" Oh, is this for me? Thanks Drew." May smiled as she took the rose out of his hands.
"No. It's for your Beautifly. Congratulations on passing the preliminaries." Drew answers flipping his hair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May tried to regain her smile. 'My first rose…' May thought.
May buried her face in both her hands. She was trying hard not to let any tears escape. But she was failing miserably. A tear escaped from her hands, finding its way on the sand. Another followed, and another, soon, May stopped trying and just let her tears find its own way. Then she wiped her tears away and began singing.
Because it's my heart that's not working,
I can't send you off like this, why?
Even if it looks shaky and risky,
I can't do anything but to hold you back, why?
I love you (you'll do that)
I don't (you wouldn't do that)
I only look at you
Stay here, I'll keep requesting it
I'll do better. Because I still can't send you off.
I, I need to live. I, I need to endure it
Since it'll stop soon (A/N: In case, it is the heart)
You need to be here for it to be a paradise.
This is a paradise where I lock you up against your will oh oh
A sad paradise where we can be together forever oh oh oh oh oh
I can only hold my breath and watch you
I can only do that because I feel like you'll shatter
You're looking at me (you'll do that)
You're not looking at me (you won't do that)
You're looking, it hurts
Stay here, I'll keep requesting it
I'll do better. Because I still can't send you off.
I, I need to live. I, I need to endure it
Since it'll stop soon.
You need to be here for it to be a paradise
This is a paradise where I lock you up against your will oh oh
A sad paradise where you can't leave when you wake up
A paradise where we can be together forever oh oh oh oh oh
I, who always filled my nights with you
Yeah, it's time to fill up my body with tears
A night with your arms wrapped around; your breath rising sharply
That's the best paradise, without you, it's a hopeless world
I'll hold you for a bit more
I'll look at you more, more, more until my heart freezes
I, I need to live. I, I even without you
I,I really need you for now…
Drew rush pass the contest hall. He could hear a faint voice in the distance. He squinted his eyes, seeing an opening between trees.
"You nee to be here for it to be a paradise…"
Drew realized who that voice belonged to. 'May. May! May! May!'
Crystalled tears formed from his eyes as he raced the last few meters. When he was through, he stopped and looked at the sun slowly setting before him. The sun was yellow orange, it's reflection reflected in the water; making the water mixed with all kinds of colors. Purple, pink, and blue, the colors blending in to light up the afternoon sky. A perfect, peaceful day, it seems to be saying. (A/N: How ironic :D)
Drew heard sobbing and looked to his right. And sure enough, May was sitting there with her face buried in both of her hands. She was trembling unbearably.
Drew walked over, standing in front of her and produced a red rose. (A/N: Don't ask he got it, or where did he get it from. I don't know. Use your imagination. ) Drew threw the rose on her lap.
May stopped and uncovered her face, starring down at the rose. She slowly looked up at Drew. Her blue pools eyes widen and she let out a gasp.
"Drew? Is that you? I thought you were dead? Aha" May let out a crazy laugh. "Or maybe I'm crazy."
Drew sat down beside her, staring straight at the sunset.
"Drew?" May whispers softly.
Drew turns toward May. His emerald jade eyes turned pleading.
"May." Drew's voice turning serious. "Do not start freaking out and listen to what I'm saying. And no. You are not crazy. Okay?" May just nodded.
"Ok. I know I'm supposed to be dead right now… Well I am… Just not at the moment I guess. I'm sorry if I scared you. But May? Will you listen closely? Please?" Emerald eyes begging. May nodded.
Drew told her about everything. About how he died, about where he was when he woke up from the darkness, how he learned about his dad's first love, about Forever, and about how he can live again.
"May, I want to be with you. I know I shouldn't ask you this, but May? Please? I died for you. And yeah, literally. Would you do the same and died for me? If you were in my place, would you have done what I did? Do you understand what I'm asking? I lived for you and died for you. I myself changed from when I met you, when I fell in love with you. You changed me somehow, in a good way." Drew took in a deep breath. "I love you May. Would you die for me?" Drew gazed into May's eyes.
Sapphire met emerald jade. In the instant, there was no hesitation in her eyes.
"Yes Drew. I would die for you. I can give up my life for you because I can't live without you either. I love you Drew."
Drew reached for May's hand and smile at her. Drinking in her features, remembering that a few hours ago, he thought he would never see his May again. He remembered how scared he felt, how he would have given up anything to stop the accident from happening.
Now he was sitting in front of her, holding her hand! But of course, every happy moment needed an interruption.
The necklace that May was holding floated up between their faces and glowed gold. Without warning, iit sucked Drew in, dropped to the ground and closed the heart immediately.
"Um… Drew?" May look around frantically. She picked up the necklace and tried to open it, but it was clamped shut, refusing to be opened.
Drew lay on the ground, facing the stoned floor. He got up and looked around.
'Oh great. Just perfect. It was white before and now it's just black. Just great. My favorite color.' He dusted his clothes.
"Katrina? You there?" Drew yelled.
A screen popped behind Drew and he turned around, his eyes showing shock. It was showing how Drew got into the accident and stopped when he was lying hopelessly on the ground, pools of blood surrounding him.
"It seems that May really do love you with all her heart and soul. Her words could be heard even in Forever. As promised, I would grant our other end of the deal. I'm happy the you were successful." Katrina waved her hand and Drew began to fade.
Drew looked at Katrina with soft jade eyes, meeting hers.
"Thank you Katrina. For everything." Drew managed to say before completely fading.
"Drew, you'll come again. After all, you're tied with me and Forever." Katrina grinned menacingly.
Drew lay on the sticky ground, he tried moving, but his body was numbed. So all he could do was lay there and wait for someone to notice him. The police were too busy trying to reason with Harley that they're going to have to take him downtown for questioning.
He slowly opened his eyes, just slightly and he saw a glance of a guy with purple hair, wearing a green cactus outfit- Harley. He was struggling, trying to free himself from the officers' grasps while yelling wildly along the lines of something he didn't do it. (A/N: Yeah right. I highly doubt that)
Drew could make out what happened after that because his unconsciousness took over.
When he finally came to, he heard sirens and crying and someone shouting.
"Mr. Hayden please holds on! We're almost there. Don't give up!" a voice said.
'Must have been a doctor' Drew thought.
"Drew! Don't leave me!" another voice.
'May? May?!' Drew became alert, but he was knocked out.
3 Days Later
'It's quiet… Why is it quiet? Ouch. My body hurts. Ugh… I have the worst headache ever.'
Drew struggled to open his eyes. After a few tries, he was victorious.
'What the…?'
His whole body was covered in bandages from head to toe, only leaving his face out in the open.
"Uh…" Drew's mouth opened, but no words came out. He tried again, but failed.
'May? May! I can't talk! Is this punishment?' an annoyed look was plastered on his face.
His arms and legs moved around frantically. Tears trailed from his eyes, tainting the bandages.
"Drew? Drew!" May rushed over to Drew and caught his face between her hands.
"Drew? Look at me! And calm down!" May shouted.
Drew relaxed, dropping his arms and legs and leaning against the pillow. He looked over at May. He was a live. And May, his May, was standing right in front of him. He let out a sigh of relief and snuggled into her hand. May reached and used her thumbs to wipe away his tears.
Drew looked at May and opened his mouth. 'May…' He reached for May and pulled her halfway in the bed. He moved over and patted the space next to him. May smile widely and scooted next to him. Drew blushed and produced a rose from behind him and gave it to May. May took it gently into her hands and brought it to her nose. She looked over at Drew and kissed his cheek.
Drew's smile broadened and he could finally find his voice to speak again.
"May? Sing for me. That song you love so much."
May looked at him and laughed. Her laughter brought music to his ear. "Okay Drew." May grabbed Drew's arm and snuggled into the pillow, smelling Drew's scent. His scent of roses. Drew rests his head on top of May's.
"A sad paradise where you can't escape… A paradise where we can be together forever oh oh oh oh oh…"
With that, they drifted off to slumber.
But not so far away, in Forever, Katrina stood staring at the screen of May and Drew sleeping. (A/N: Stalker much?)
"You think this is the end? A happy ending? That makes me so sick. There's no happiness in the world. You can't stay happy forever. Everything has to separate at some point. There will be an ending. But not happy one. Drew Hayden, this will only be the beginning, we will meet again. Muahahahaha"
First Part, DONE!
A/N: Didcha like it? Well I've got a surprise for you! It's May and Drew! As guests! So, nice to meet you couple. What do you think?
Drew: Uh… Well… That was umm… -blushes deeply-
