"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM YOU SICK RAPIST!"

I felt myself freeze. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit...I'm fucked now. I knew I'd have to do some serious explaining to the two if I didn't act fast. I could either tell the truth and face a lot more than I was ready for...or I could play the part of the damsel in distress. It was one of those two options and time was running out. Maybe I should see how this plays out first... I thought to myself. That had to be the best decision in this circumstance. Before I could react I felt Gary pulled away from me before he was tossed some unknown distance away. My eyes were still closed and I was still too damn scared to open them and face this reality. However, I finally opened them when I heard Cilan's voice,

"Ash are you alright?" I opened my eyes and tears started to flow uncontrollably. I didn't know why I was crying, whether it be because I had been caught dead in my tracks committing one of the worst taboos ever or was it because I knew I was going to lose Gary again? My mind scampered over both of these things and I tried to pull myself together. "Cilan..." I managed to choke out, my voice weak. Behind Cilan's form I could see Iris's worried face as she held Pikachu who was squirming in her arms and Umbreon trying to help his master who had been shaken up considerably by being tossed a couple yards or so.

"Come on Ash, let's get out of here," Cilan says grabbing my hand before pulling me off in the direction back towards the camp. My body felt like dead weight and instead of my legs following, I collapsed on the ground. Gary, instinctively hurried over to me putting his hand on my shoulder, "Ash-," I heard him say just before Cilan pushed him away causing Umbreon to jump in front of his master defensively, the rings on its body glowing offensively. "Don't you dare lay a hand on him, you hear?" Cilan shouts defensively, causing Gary to retort, "Excuse me?!" he says, standing up quickly, clearly irritated.

Sensing the atmosphere and dreading the worst I quickly scrambled to my feet only to have Cilan pull me behind him defensively. "I don't know who you think you are, but no one! And I mean no one! Lays a hand on my precious baby!" I see the shock on Gary's face as he takes a slight step back letting his mouth drape open slightly before clenching his teeth together in frustration. He glances up and makes brief eye contact with me before looking Cilan straight in the eye, the rage there clear as day.

"Did you just call him your baby?" He says, his tone struggling to stay calm. I already knew how Gary was about me, he was the jealous type that tried to brush it off as nothing however this was more. And I'm sure after all this time he wasn't going to put up with anyone's bullshit. Cilan narrowed his eyes, "Yes, I did and I'm wondering why you have such a problem with that. And all I'm telling you is you need to stay away from him is that clear? Dragging him out here like this and trying to have you way with him disgust me." Cilan spits at the end of his comment, emphasizing his complete disgust and disregard for Gary.

I could feel the temperature rising and I glanced behind me with begging eyes to Iris, praying that she say something, anything to make this better. Looking back between them and then back at me she mouthed, 'that's Gary right?' I nodded quickly and he face filled with worry, knowing this wasn't going to end well if she didn't intervene, knowing that if I said something it would only make things much worse. Before Gary could say whatever he was going to say next she interjected him saying, "Cilan come on let's just go back to the camp now its over and we probably wont ever see this guy again anyway!" Following her statement she puts a hand on Cilan's shoulder trying to usher him away. However, before anyone could move Pikachu leapt out of her arms and ran over to Umbreon holding his ground with a firm, 'Pika!'

Oh shit, could things get any worse? I thought for I knew this would lead to more questions and the possibility of Gary's identity being revealed. "No," We all heard Gary stay causing us to all turn our attention to him as he stood there studying the ground with his fists clenched tightly by his sides. "No?" Cilan questioned. "No," Gary repeated again, "Not this time, I've come all this way to see Ash, my baby, and if I swear my name isn't Gary Oak than I don't what I'm standing here for. It's been too long and things have gone too far for you, of ALL people to stand in the way!"

We were taken aback and my eyes widened looking away from Gary quickly, wanting to break off and run. But Cilan was holding my hand way too tightly, he was being filled with a new anger now. "Did you say Gary?" Cilan glanced down at me with surprisingly enough, tears in his eyes. "He's the one isn't he Ashy? That did all those horrible things to you. That you didn't deserve and couldn't even talk about with me... He's the one isn't he?"

I knew all hell was about to break loose. I tore my hand away from Cilan's grasp and ran from the two of them. I needed to talk to them separately if anything. I bolted off away from everyone heading in some random directly with everyone in close pursuit after me. I sent a silent apology to Pikachu for leaving him behind. I knew he would be searching for me harder than anyone else, and if he was with Gary then that meant, there's a 90% chance that I'll run into him first. I tore through the woods at a breakneck speed not really having a destination in mind, that was until I tripped over an old tree root and found myself on the ground surrounded by old bricks and boulders.

This has to be the White Ruins...I must have covered more ground than I thought. I lay there for a moment trying to contemplate what to do. I didn't hear any voice or the sound that anyone was near, I was all alone. Just like before... I thought to myself as I dragged myself into an old building in the ruins. I must have really fucked up my ankle from tripping. Just another great thing, on a great day. I thought to myself sarcastically as I close my eyes, trying to catch my breath.

In the mix of it all I feel someone touch my shoulder and I feel my heart race causing me to jump up and flinch at the touch, snapping my eyes open only to realize it was only Gary. Without even thinking I locked him in a tight embrace letting it all out in his shoulder. "I know, I already know I fucked up! I just missed you so much and you were the only one I could think of! Even after I had started dating Cilan you're the only person I've ever loved or even wanted to love...I knew I shouldn't have said 'yes' to him! I just wanted someone to fill the empty void that was left in my heart after you...I tried to move on, I really did but-but," I was starting to choke on my tears, I hadn't even realized I had started crying.

I originally didn't plan on telling him the truth. I was originally going to make some crazy bogus lie about how Cilan forced me to be with him, but I knew it would it up 1,000 times worse when everything came out in the end. So, I stuck to telling the truth, there was no sense in lying to Gary anyway, he knew me way too well.

"Don't beat yourself up about it too much," Gary said laughing bitterly, "That's all I spent my time doing, beating myself up and trying to fix the past that couldn't be fixed." I loosen my embrace on him and look him in the eye before locking him in a passionate kiss.

The second our lips collided it felt like heaven, everything was right. This was how it was supposed to be...me and him just like this. But, I knew we couldn't be like this forever and I reluctantly broke the kiss before we got carried away. As soon as we broke the kiss Gary gently laid his forehead on mine lovingly, and said the words my heart was waiting to hear, "I've always loved you." "I've always loved you too..." I say in reply.

He lets out a sigh before closing his eyes and resting my head in his chest, cradling me like a baby. The sound of trees rustling quickly broke the peace causing us both to jump. I could hear voices and footsteps headed in our direction. "Gary..." I say softly, "I-," he cuts me off, "need time." He finishes for me. "I know," he says stopping as he stands up. "I do too. It's going to take a lot more effort to rescue my Juliet than I thought."

As the voice and footsteps get closer he turns to leave before un-zipping his backpack I didn't notice he had with him, handing me a sleeping Pikachu. I take Pikachu and hug him tightly, happy that he is safe as I watch Gary run off, but not before turning around and affectionately saying,

"Smell ya later Ashy-boy!"

Me: well that's was quite the returning chapter! Next is from Gary's POV!

Iris: why do have to be a harbinger of drama!

Me: yeah, yeah, yeah but its gonna get good! And aren't you rooting for Ash and Gary anyway?!
