I do not own Pokemon or Wanted by Hunter Hayes

Briana

I wanna make you feel wanted

I want to call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

Never let you forget it

Yeah I want to make you feel wanted

Briana groaned as her phone blared its ringtone waking her from a restless sleep. She pulled the covers over her head trying to muffle the sound to no avail. Briana sighed and kicked away the covers. The sun streamed through her window making her wince. She grabbed her phone her brow furrowed in concern reading a text from Ashley.

To: Briana

From: Ashley

7:00 a.m.

Meeting at the cabin ASAP!

Briana ran a hand through her hair trying to tame it; her mind however was occupied with racing thoughts on last night. She jumped out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. The instant she turned the light switch on her head began to throb painfully, almost as if she were being hit repeatedly with a hammer. Briana winced fully taking in her reflection. Her eyes were blood shoot from hours of crying, and her complexion was covered in red blotches. A slow tear rolled down her cheek and Briana quickly wiped it away. Briana turned towards the shower and turned the hot water on, and watched as the steam covered the small blue tiled bathroom.

Thoughts of last night's fight plagued her mind making her stomach constrict uncomfortably. The tears continued to fall as James angry and hurt expression flashed into her thoughts. Briana shook her head trying desperately to gain composure. Her phone rang again reminding her of the emergency meeting. She quickly ran through her morning routine in a zombie like state.

When she arrived to the cabin she was welcomed with angry shouts coming from inside. Briana instantly recognized May and Ashley's voice. They seemed to be having a very heated argument. She closed her jeeps door and began making her way towards the cabins entrance. Briana abruptly stopped seeing Esme sitting outside the cabins steps staring off into space, but her eyes were glistening with tears. Briana shifted uncomfortably on her feet unsure if she should say something.

"May found out I'm dating Sky," the girl whispered wiping her face. She turned her emerald orbs at her and smiled slightly, "Are you mad at me also?"

Briana looked down pensively and groaned inwardly realizing she was wearing two different shoes. She brushed the thought away and concentrated on her feelings towards Esme dating her ex-boyfriend Sky. After the Secret Keepers last performance Sky had approached her. The heart to heart conversation allowed Briana to forgive him to an extent, but she still felt apprehensive. However, she witnessed the way he looked at Esme with the same intensity as Gary looked at Ashley.

"No of course not Esme," she walked up to the auburn haired girl and pulled her up embracing her trying to give her comfort. Esme sobbed quietly into her shoulder leaving a small wet patch, and hugged her back fiercely.

Briana lightly stroked her disheveled hair, "I can tell by the way he looks at you that he truly cares for you Esme." She pushed her away slightly and held her gaze, "I still don't completely trust him but I trust you." She stated grabbing the girls hand and leading her up the steps and towards the cabins door.

The yelling seemed to intensify in volume the closer they approached. Briana squeezed Esme's hand, "Come on Esme I'll be by your side."

"Thank you Briana," she sighed gratefully before bracing her shoulders and stepped through the threshold of the cabin. Briana ducked as a projectile came flying towards her.

'Was that a pillow?' she thought bewildered. Briana shook her head in annoyance before taking a seat on the sofa next to Misty and Dawn. Esme followed her taking a seat on the arm of the couch, her eyes were wide

May groaned in annoyance she stared at the silver haired teen and shuddered, "Ashley please tell me you're kidding! I can't stand being in the same room as him!"

Misty glanced worriedly between Ashley and May, "This isn't going very well," she sighed exasperated.

Briana nodded in agreement as Ashley and May wrestled over a pillow. "Why is she even angry about the Sky thing?" She asked loud enough so that May could hear her.

May rounded to face her, "I'm upset Esme didn't trust me enough to tell me," she shoved the pillow into Ashley's arms making her stumble backwards into Misty's arms. "I had to find out this morning when I saw them making out in his truck." May stated her voice racked with sobs.

"May it's not that I didn't trust you!" Esme yelled frustrated.

"Then what was it Esme?" May asked wiping her face with a Kleenex.

Esme rose from the arm of the sofa and paced nervously in front of the brunet. She ran her hand through her hair making it stand upright in static shock like a mad scientist.

"I just wanted to make our relationship official before I spoke to you about it." Esme slowly approached May her eyes were downcast in nervousness, "May I would trust you with my life. I am so sorry you found out the way you did."

May nodded slowly she grabbed Esme and pulled her down into an embrace. "I'm sorry I overreacted." May whispered into Esme's hair.

"Awww group hug," Dawn gushed already rushing towards the girls.

Briana found herself laughing for the first time since her fight with James as she felt herself encased in her friends' warm embrace. However, there moment was short lived as the boys walked through the cabins entryway. The girls separated as Ashley and May walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Dawn politely excused herself and walked outside stating she was going on a walk, but Briana assumed she didn't want to be around Paul. Briana noticed Paul quickly ran towards his room and return wearing a purple t-shirt, and rushed out the door after Dawn. Misty rolled her eyes at Ash but a blush lightly dusted her cheeks as he walked over to her to gather two t-shirts that were neatly folded on the love-seat.

Briana deducted the boys had just returned from an early morning swim as they created a puddle at the entrance. Their swim trunks dripped with water, and their bare chests glistened with water droplets that slide slowly down their toned chests.

Briana blushed scarlet and looked away from the boys, "Would it kill you guys to put a shirt on?" She stuttered keeping her eyes focused on her lap.

Gary chuckled, "Sorry Briana we weren't expecting the girls to be up yet."

Ash threw Gary a red t-shirt he'd grabbed off the love-seat, "Normally, on our days off Esme is the only one awake at this hour," he pulled a blue tank top over his head.

Esme laughed, "Yeah and I'm usually out on my morning run."

Briana smiled gratefully when Drew finally covered himself, "Well I um I actually have some important news to tell you all." Her voice quivered in sadness and all the light that had bottled up in her eyes vanished.

Ashley turned the stove off and took the eggs off the burner top. She leaned against the kitchen door, "Are you alright I was meaning to ask earlier but well you know," she trailed off shrugging her shoulders.

The boys glanced at her questioningly, "We'll explain later," May answered sitting in the love-seat with Drew.

Esme poked Briana teasingly on the side, "Does it have something to do with why you're wearing one pink ballet flat and a black one?"

Briana blushed slightly but nodded, "I um tonight's my last night performing," She announced staring into her lap too afraid to look at their faces.

"Briana don't tell us James and you are finally dating!" May gushed excitedly, "Owe Drew why did you poke me," she whined.

Briana glanced at Drew through her peripheral and noticed him reprimanding the pouting brunet, "December don't interrupt her," Briana laughed slightly those two reminded her so much of an old married couple.

She took a deep breath steadying her nerves and she looked up she was grateful that Misty was in her direct line of sight. That girl seemed to radiate nothing but self-confidence and serenity both of which Briana needed desperately.

"I um I told James the truth yesterday. He well," Briana trailed off she felt her face grow warm again and her skin felt clammy with sweat. Her pants now had two identical wet spots from the tears that silently fell from her eyes.

Misty crouched down in front of her and placed her hands on her knees. She squeezed them trying to comfort her, "He didn't take it well huh?"

Briana nodded, "He was furious he said he n-never wanted to talk with me," she managed to blurt out before bursting into sobs.

May quickly ran towards her and gave her a bone crushing hug, "Oh Brie don't I'm sure if you just try talking to him again-"

"No May it's pointless James is never going to forgive me," She replied her chin trembling with every word spoken.

Ashley walked towards the door her car keys in hand, "Hun where are you going?" Gary questioned.

"I'm going to have a talk with James," She replied over her shoulder before closing the door to the cabin.

"There's no point he won't listen," she groaned in annoyance and anger.

Esme shook her head, "No you're wrong Briana. There is always a point, a reason to keep trying. Don't give up when things get difficult; because in the end the only person you're letting down is yourself."

Briana stared at Esme bewildered her breathing gradually slowed down to a normal level and while her heart was still breathing abnormally fast she could feel it decrease with each breath she inhaled. She pondered the words Esme had said and slowly she gained resolve.

"You're right Esme I can't give up on him now." Briana spoke clearly no trace of weakness present in her voice. Briana wasn't sure how she would convince James to talk with her again, or if they could repair the damage she single handily had created. However, she wasn't going to give up without trying, because even if she failed she would know that she kept on fighting till the end.
