"Wonder what he's up to" I sighed thinking about Garry. Every night I did this.

It's been months now. We were already in the summertime!

May was in the same state as me.

Wallowing in our sadness. I found Garry in everything I do more often then I'd like to admit.

May

I looked out at the tree. Honey slipped from the honey bee nest. Listening to their buzzing you'd think would make me cringe.

Instead I was strumming away at my ukulele.

You went and turned the red flag white, darling, and you waved it
You've always had a way with words
Why can't you explain it then?
I see your face in everyone, baby, and I hate it
Who would have ever thought I'd have to erase it? Uh

Every little thing is reminding me of you
Yes, I'll set fire to my whole room (Ah, ah, ah)

I don't want to let it show, but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?

I double take at every phone that rings out of habit
I can't shake the little things, they're harder to manage, woah
I can't bury the past, but I'll bury the hatchet
Can we just pretend that this never happened? Yeah

Every little thing is reminding me of you
Guess I'll set fire to my whole room (Ah, ah, ah)

I don't want to let it show, but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?

So what are you doing tonight?
'Cause I miss you and I, and I can't even lie, I need you
I could get on a flight, I could make up the time
I know I'm out of line, can I see you?

I don't want to let it show, but I still love you
And how do I let you know if I can't call you?
And I don't want to be alone another night
I don't want to feel this blue
How do I let you go if I don't want to?
Baby, how do I let you go if I don't want to?
How do I let you go if I don't want to?

The last strum I felt a tear roll down my eye. I had so many regrets. Why hadn't I seen it sooner?

Drew cared about me. It was his family.

Thinking back I probably made him feel worse about it. He was being forced to marry a girl!

I got up and pictured us together. Every day I would imagine a world where I had a force much greater. One that could bring drew back to me.

Misty

Today was all smiles. I was at ash's house helping his mom with dishes. We had a lot of fun but to be polite I helped her out.

"Ash has never been happier I think it's because of you misty" she made me blush.

"Oh thank you Delia I'm glad though I care about ash a lot" she smiled at that and patted my head.

"Your good for him" having her approval was everything.

"Hey mist the aquarium is officially open we should go check it out!" Ash said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Go on there's just a little bit more to do" Delia said.

Nodding I skipped to ash and held onto his hand.

We walked out hand and hand.

Dawn

This is so frustrating. The whole year I didn't get close to Paul and now I don't have any excuse to visit him!

He lived down the road from me and all I wanted was to go bother him.

How troublesome.

Groaning I stretched myself farther into my bed.

You know what just do it dawn!

I marched out of my house my mothers cat starring at me like a crazy person.

I marched all the way there until as soon as I got to the fence I stopped myself.

"Your crazy!" I yelled at myself. I began to panic and overthink and when I overthink my whole body just goes off on its own.

"Hey um are you okay?" Turning around I met familiar eyes. They looked just like Paul's but he was not Paul.

"Um is Paul here?" I asked nervously. Who the heck was this!

"Ah no he's off on a Pokémon battle he should be back soon though if you'd like to wait inside"

...

I found out his name was Reggie. Paul's older brother.

"So how long have you liked him" he asked as he sat down on the couch opposite of the one I was seated in.

"Well all this year but i doubt he feels the same" I said looking down at my teacup.

"Nah Paul's talked a lot about you well not to me at least he would never do that but he talks in his sleep" he laughed.

I blushed. Paul dreams about me?

"You should tell him Paul isn't much of a happy guy maybe you could be the one to be that for him" he said.

Starring down I began to get determined.

Why shouldn't I take a chance. I'll still live anyways!

We heard a car pull up in the driveway "that must be him" Reggie said.

My heart began to speed up.

Just go for it!

I walked out to greet him and I realized it's been a couple of weeks since I've seen him in person.

He was still dreamy.

"Paul I need to talk to you" I began walking closer to him. He looked at me puzzled.

"What are you doing here?" I ignored his question though and blurred it out.

"I like you! Like a lot!" It just came out. I stayed looking to the floor not wanting to meet his gaze.

He spoke no words he only wrapped his arms around me. My eyes widened and I realized this was his way of saying he likes me too.

Misty

the sun had set and ash and I were laying together. We were cuddling on his bed and I felt all warmth.

He was resting his eyes slowly falling into sleep.

Before he did I heard him whisper.

"I love you"

I looked into his eyes as he said that.

"I love you too"

He leaned down and we shared a soft kiss and it was passionate.

We went to sleep in each other's arms and I began to dream. I was in an old red mercadees in a red dress while ash drove.

I've seen the world, done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid-July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channeling angels in the new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you'd play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Dear Lord, when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes, tell me that you'll let him in
Father tell me if you can
All that grace, all that body
All that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?

Ash pulled over onto a small range overlooking a mountain. We sat on the hood watching the sunset.

Leaf

"Hey leaf!" I turned around to see Serena waving around a white slip of paper with the girls behind her.

I stopped to let them catch up to me.

"Look calem won a whole private plane to kalos to see the professors new lab!" Serena said showing me the ticket.

My eyes sparkled. All I could think about was seeing Garry.

I hugged her but there was still some small doubt in me.

What if he didn't want to see me?

Well too bad!

I already had made up my mind.
