Chapter 14
Sadly I do not own pokémon. These next few chapters are a MAJOR part in the story, just saying. Onwards to the story!
Ash's POV
We were just about ready to leave for the bon fire; well except Iris who was meeting us there because she had to teach a class. Since it was going to be cool out I threw on a pair of light blue jeans, a black t-shirt with a red DC logo on it, a dark blue zip-up hoodie, and a pair of black flip flops so that my shoes wouldn`t fill with sand. Gary was wearing a pair of dark grey track pants, a purple long sleeve, and his pendent he had since we were kids. And to finish the look, a pair of purple Birkenstocks that he specially ordered of course. Drew was wearing practically the same thing as Gary without and a green long sleeve and Birkenstocks. Paul was wearing his usual Emo, Goth type look; consisting of black jeans, black flip flops, and a black hoodie with a skull on the back and hood up, hair covering his face.
The girls seemed to be taking a while; they know we need to leave at 5:45 because it takes 15 minutes to get to the beach. We had like a minute until we needed to leave. Just then I heard footsteps coming down the hall. "Sorry we took so long, May can't find her jacket." Misty told us as she rolled her head in May's direction. May pouted.
"Have any of you seen it, the red leather jacket that Ruby had got for me for Christmas?" she was looking at us with pleading eyes, when I noticed that she was wearing a pair of jean capris, and a long white tank top, with a pair of red heeled flip flops.
"Wait, who's Ruby again?" I didn't really remember being told who he was, or even mention.
"My cousin, he's like my brother." She was giving me her 'you are an idiot' look. I swear everyone gives me the same look at least once a day. I wonder why. Drew went over to the kitchen... ooooh the kitchen, there's food there...mmmmmm food. Once he came back he threw the jacket in May's face. Shae pulled it off her face and gave Drew a hug, a bear hug to be exact. "Thank you, thank you, and thank you!"
I swear there was a light pink hue to his face, "it's not that big of a deal you left it in the kitchen the other morning." May shrugged off is words before slipping on her jacket.
Dawn was fussing over her hair in the hall mirror when Paul dragged her away. "You're the one that wanted to go to this party so bad, so stop fixing your stupid appearance." Dawn was wearing a long sleeved pink and purple striped shirt with the strips on a bit of an angle, a pink mini skirt, and a pair of high pink boots. Her hair was tied up in a high but loose bun with her bangs swept to the side.
"I resent that! I do not look stupid!" Dawn threw our purple headed friend off her and marched off out the door. Purple, that reminds me off grapes...grapes go good in fruit salad. I miss my mom's fruit salad; I wonder if I could have her send me some.
Smack!
"Stop daydreaming about food! Let's go before Dawn gets lost." I hadn't really noticed Misty before, I don't know why because I always see her before everyone else. She was wearing one of those short sweater things, it was a light blue and underneath that she had a white shirt with a gold star in the center of it. She had a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and flip flops to match her sweater like thing.
Misty dragged me out of the dorm even though I wanted to stay in the kitchen. Maybe there will be food at the beach. Realizing this, I bolted of in the direction we were headed with the others walking behind.
We finally hit the beach and I saw the big bonfire and a giant stack of bags of marshmallows. I started to run over when something held me back. I turned my head to see a hand on my wrist and connected to that hand was Misty, my face suddenly felt hot. "Give others a chance before you go and eat them all." I nodded my head agreeing.
Drew nudged May's stomach with his elbow. "That goes for you too September." May gave him a death glare and dawn and I couldn't help but laugh at the interaction between the two. They were now just making fun of each other.
Leaf and Gary had already disappeared somewhere being all couple like. Ever since they got together they had left the group a lot to do stuff on their own; it was weird Gary and I were practically always together other than we were on the start of our journeys. I felt like a part of me was missing; eh, I'll get used to it.
"Hey Ash, you wanna go walk around and talk to some people?" I looked over to see Misty walking backwards towards the bonfire.
"Sure," I caught up to her and she turned so she could see where she was going. We began to talk to some of our friends from our classes. I realized that I had left Drew, May, Dawn and Paul alone...they should be fine. I mean what could possibly go wrong.
Paul's POV
Damn it Ash, you just had to leave with red and leave me with the arguing grasshead and month, and a laughing Troublesome. I still can't figure out what is with this girl she's so carefree yet she has had one of the people that meant so much to her die. It's as if she completely forgot about it all the time unless it was brought up.
Once Dawn finally stopped laughing at Drew and May she spoke, "I'm going to get something to drink from the table. Anybody want anything?" I shook my head and the other two didn't stop fighting. She shrugged and left to get herself something to drink.
I grew tired of hearing fighting so I headed over to a platform that was on the beach. I sat down and leaned against one of the beams on it and put my hood up. I sat there for a few minutes until I was disturbed by some giggling. That doesn't sound familiar. I opened my eyes and looked from under the hood of my sweater and through my bangs to see three girls wearing less than Troublesome, if that was even possible, standing there. "What?" I growled; they giggled some more, Arceus were they annoying.
Through the giggles, the bleach blond with way too much makeup squealed and asked, "you're Paul of the guys' band right?" huh, I never realized how much we actually needed a name, damn we should think of one.
"Ya, so" they squealed more.
"Do you think that your band could play a song for the school?" another one with hot pink hair asked.
"No."
"But why?" the last girl, who had a bright blue colour for hair, whined.
"Don't want to. If you want it so bad, go ask someone else."
"But you are the most persuadable."
"How?"
"Cause you are the only one that needs attention from a girl. We can provide that." The blond again said, this time in a seductive tone. She climbed onto my lap facing me.
"Get. Off. Me." I told her clearly enough. If she didn't listen I was going to making her hate me.
"Not happening babe." And there is the not listening. I pushed her off me easy enough having heard a thud when she hit the ground I got up and began to walk away. "You're an asshole you know that!" I gave a two finger wave as I continued to walk away.
Once I finally found a spot away from everyone, I sat down in the sand and closed my eyes as I leaned against a palm tree. I head some footsteps then had sand thrown at me. I wiped it from my face and looked up to see my band. "Cynthia wants us to perform a song that could get the party started more. Let's go," Gary told me as I stood up.
"We're going to be playing one of my songs." Drew said as we began to walk in the direction of the school's party. Once we finally got to the stage which I was apparently sitting at earlier, we got up and set up our instruments.
I had my guitar there already and Gary had his bass. I'm hoping Cynthia had got them from Iris or something because Iris should be here by now, otherwise this will have me worried. Drew walked up to the microphone and tapped it to get the crowd's attention. Once all eyes were on us Drew spoke, "okay so we were asked to play a song to get everyone all riled up for the party now that exams are over. So we're going to play one of the songs I wrote about a very special girl I know." There were high pitched screams as he said that then flipped his hair, all the girls thinking it was for them.

[Drew] I don't patronize, I realize
I'm losing and this is my real life
I'm half asleep and I'm wide awake
This habit is always so hard to break
I don't wanna be the bad guy
Been blaming myself and I think you know why
I'm killing time and times killing you
Every way that I do
Did you say please just follow me?
I thought you wanted me 'cause I want you all to myself
I can try and suck it up, I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
Please just follow me
I thought you wanted me 'cause I want you all to myself
I can try and suck it up, I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
I'm under the gun, you're like the only one
I just can't decide what I'm running from
This isn't what I wanted but
I can't keep my filthy fucking mouth shut
It's not enough, it's never enough
And I wish I could breathe without getting it stuck
Can't focus it but I try it over and over again
Did you say please just follow me?
I thought you wanted me 'cause I want you all to myself
I can try and suck it up, I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
Please just follow me
I thought you wanted me 'cause I want you all to myself
I can try and suck it up, I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
Please just follow me
I thought you wanted me 'cause I want you all to myself
I can try and suck it up, I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like {2x} did you say please just follow me?
I thought you wanted me 'cause I can't stay with someone else
I try and suck it up, I just keep fucking up
I want you all to myself
The crowd cheered and we put our instrument down and got off stage. We went up to the girls of our group and began to talk to them. It then occurred to me, Dawn wasn't with them. Come to think of it I hadn't seen her since she went to get a drink and that was almost an hour ago.
"Have any of you seen Troublesome?" I questioned out of the blue.
"She wasn't feeling well so Conway took her back to the dorm." Leaf told me. Took her back to the dorm she doesn't have a key. And she was feeling just fine; on top of that she wouldn't leave a party she wanted to be at even if she didn't feel good. And Conway...Damnit!
"What the hell?! She can't get into the dorm! Did you not think of this! How long ago did they leave?!" I grabbed Leaf by the shoulders and shook her. Gary pulled me off afraid I was going to hurt his girlfriend.
"They left right before you performed." Misty told me the sound of worry in her voice. I pushed past them and ran through the crowd of people pushing people to the ground on route towards the school. Why am I so worried and stressed about this? I never care for anyone this much. What is going on in my mind? Ugh, this is so aggravating!
I finally hit our dorm and opened the door. There was no one there. I knew it, that bastard! I ran towards his dormitory; he would always tell Dawn his room in case she got 'lonely'. Once I finally reached the dorm, I could hear giggling and squeaks from the other side of the door. I tried to open the door, locked. I began to slam my shoulder into the door in order to break it open. It didn't budge. I continued to slam it. The door needs to open; I can't have Conway doing anything to Dawn. But why am I thinking this way?
Finally the door broke off the hinges. I regained my balance and looked into the room, no one was there. That was her giggle and squeak. What is going on? I heard the sound again and walked into the room following the sound. There on the coffee table was a tape recording of Dawn. And a note: So you really do care about her. Well, you are going to need to try harder in order to find your precious troublesome girl. I'll enjoy the time I have with her, I'm sure she'll enjoy it too...You know who this is from so why bother signing. "Damnit! Where is she?"
I feel bad ending it here and I feel this chapter was kind of rushed too. I'm sorry. But I have been doing everything in order to be able to write this, I just keep running out of time. Sorry for the late upload I was going to try to make this for last weekend but again I had no time.
I'll be updating legends soon for those that are wondering, latest of next weekend.
