My birthday (sings the birthday song)
19 years old........wow, I can't believe im that old now. It feels like only yeaterday that I celebrated my 12th birthday (the older you get, the faster time flies)
Well, this is a birthday present from me to me
A Drabble (kind of)
WARNING!!! lame drabble up ahead, proceed with caution
Four years, thats how long it's been since the last time May had seen him. Four Whole years, since he had left for his journey to become a pokemon master. Four years since the last time she had seen his smile, four years since the last time she heard his voice. She remembers the last time she was with him as if it had happened yesterday.
(Insert flashback ripple affect here)
"I knew i'd find you here" Said May as she walked towards a tree, looking up at a large branch which held a certain white-haired trainer. "Shouldn't you get ready for your journey tomorrow?"
"Already done" Said the white-haired boy simply "I just came to this tree because, well, as you know, this is the spot where I come to which I need time to think about stuff, or if I just want to be alone"
"Oh, I see" Said May looking a little dissapointed. Did she bother him? "Am I interrupting anything?"
"Oh, no, of course not. May, you are the only acception, which is why I showed you this place. I always have time for my best friend." Said the white-haired boy with a smile. "So, whats up? You're obviously here for a reason. So whats on your mind?" He asked with the smile still on his face.
"Oh, yea, that,.......umm, well, it's really not that important." May lied. She knew that she was there to tell him that she had a small crush on him. Just so that she could get it off her chest. But she couldin't. "I just wanted to tell you to be careful on your journey and not to do the reckless things that you usually do, and, not to forget about me."
"C'mon May, you think that I, Brendan Birch, future pokemon master, can forget somone as important as you?" Said Brendan as he stood up on the branch, then he droped down to the ground next to May. May haddn't answerd Brendan's question "No matter what happenens to me, wheather I become famous or not, I won't forget you, of all people, May, you aremy closest, longest, and best friend. And I want to give you something that shows you how much you mean to me." Brendan then reached into his shirt that he was wearing, and took off a necklace with a small ruby pendant, then he placed it in May's hands.
"Brendan, I can't accept this!" May was shocked that he was giving her the necklace his mom had given him when he was three years old. When his mom was still alive.
"Take it." Brendan insisted. "This way, when we do meet again, if for some god forsaken reason that I don't remember you, that necklace is proff of who you are and what you mean to me." May was speechless, she had nothnig left to say. "Well, I better get home, I have a big day tomorrow. May, take care, and i'll see you again, I promise" Brendan finished and gave May a hug, then started to walk off towards his house. May, however, was still frozen from what Brendan had given her.
(Insert flashback ripple affect here)
One year after that, May had started her own journey. She had traveled with her younger brother and several other trainers, along the way in her journey, she had found her calling, pokemon coordinating. As the years went by, her coordinating skills had improved, she was doing quite well for herself. But, something still hurted inside, and it only got worse as time progressed.
It was her crush on Brendan. Once he left, May then realized how much she had liked him, how much she had missed him and everything about him. The more that she wanted to drop the crush she had on him, the more it grew. It also pained her moreso when sahe would be at a pokemon center and listen to other trainers conversations and hear this:
"Hey, did you hear? That Brendan kid won the Hoenn League!"
"Are you serious? Man, he must be one strong trainer."
or
"Woah, did you hear? That Brendan kid who won the Hoenn League just won the Jhoto League!"
"What? No way, Man that kid has some talent, I see him going places in the future."
These conversations sometimes hurt May. They hurt her because he was acomplishing so much, and yet, she was not there for him. She was not there to congradulate him, she diddn't even see any of his accomplishments on T.V. There were sometimes in which she had found out that he was in town, but to her dismay, by the time she had gotten there, he had already left.
Now, May had decided to take a break and stay home for a few days. After all the traveling she had done, it did feel nice to be home for a while. One evening, she had decided to go visit Brendan's spot, to do some thinking herself. As the tree came into sight, May had noticed that somebody was resting under the tree on the roots. May could not make out who it is from where she was, but, as she had gotten closer, she noticed a green bandana, she had noticed white hair, a black with red designs T-shirt, and a pair of black pants under a pair of black shorts. It couldn't have been, after all these years. HE was right there, resting under "his" tree, listening to a MP3 player, eyes closed. But, it was him, it was.
"Brendan!" May said loudly so that Brendan could hear over his music.
Brendan did hear, he opened his eyes to see a very happy May standing over him. Wide eyed, Brendan shot up to his feet quicker than you can say 'peanuts' "May, wow, it's you!" Said Brendan as he gave her a hug.
"Hey Brendan" Replied May "How long have you been in town?"
"For about four hours" Said Brendan "Man, it's been too long, how have you been? How was your trip?" Brendan asked enthusiasticly.
"My trip so far has been really great; I decided to become a pokemon coordinator, and I traveled all around Hoenn and Kanto. I've entered two grand festivals, and I lost my first one, but I won the second time." Said May "What about you Brendan? Let me hear your story " May asked
Brendan had remained silent for sometime, then he spoke. "My journey, it started out great. I had decided to go for the Hoenn League. I won my first two badges with ease, but then, reality decided to slap me upside the head with cold hard truth." Brendan's tone got darker "It caused me to look back at my life and question everything I had done and to do some serious soul searching, however." His tone became normal again "Beacuse of that, I was able to learn things about myself that, otherwise, I would have never known. Then I came back stronger than ever and captcured not only the Hoenn League championship and the Kanto League championship, but the Jhoto League champinoship as well." Brendan finished with a big smile on his face.
"Wow, you must have seen alot." Replied May
"Yea..." Said Brendan, "There was one thing that I realized I was missing on my journey though. It was something that, untill that time, diddn't know that I wanted and needed, and it wasn't untill my realization that I knew that I had it, but was too ignorant to konw that I did. And it pained me every day for all these years to know that I had let it slipped through my fingers." Brendan finished.
May saw the concerned look in his face, and got closer to him and asked "And what was that?"
Brendan took a deep breath and looked may in the eyes "You"
May was completely cought off guard form that comment she gasped and took a step back "Wh..what do you mean by that?"
Brendan took one step closer to May. "It means that ever since we were smaller, i've had a crush on you, but, thats all I ever thought of it, a simple crush. But it grew, and it kept on growing. Then I left for my journey. It seemed to have died down a little bit, but then, on my soul searching, I found that I had more feelings for you that I never knew that I had. I found that I liked everything about you, your laugh, your smile, your eyes. When I realized this I knew that it was too late. I had to deal with that for all these years. Now that you are here, I feel that I have to tell you that I....................love you."
May could not beileve what she was hearing. his feelings, they were EXACTLY what she had felt for him. "Brendan.....I, I, you" tears started to come out of her eyes "I, I, I.....Brendan..." She couldin't say anything, she just threw herslef on him and held him tighly in a hug "I love you too." She finally managed to tell him in a soft tone.
Brendan returned his affection as he wraped his arms around May and held her tightly. Then he lightley kissed May on the cheek. May, then returned the kiss but not on the cheek, but on the lips, and as she was doing this, she could hear the song that was comming out of Brendan's MP3 player, the lyrics that were comming out caught May's attention
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here, in my arms
At this point, those lyrics couldn't be more true.

*sigh* done,
Yea, this took WAY longer than expected, I hope you people like this one, I put some serious thought into this one.
in the end, the lyrics are from an 80's song named "Enjoy The Silence" by an 80's band named 'Depeche Mode'
I need sleep......
