Ban of friends chapter 6
“This has gone too far, get up, get up right now!!”
“Did you ever hear of knocking?” Gary screamed looking up from his pillow, as his grandfather stormed in to his bedroom.
“You are coming down stairs with me and we are going to sort this problem out.”
“I’m not sorting anything out with that…that…urg”
“Listen young man, as long as you’re staying under this roof, you follow my rules, so get down stairs and apologize to Misty”
“She’s the one who should apologize”
“You had it coming, Gary”
“O now you’re taking her side?”
“Gary, if you don’t apologize to her, then don’t even bother to come downstairs for dinner”
“Fine, I’ll do anything to get away from her” he muttered.
“Unbelievable” the professor exclaimed exasperated.
He walked out off Gary’s room and entered the one next to it.
“Ash?”
“Leave me alone!!” Ash sobbed, lying on his bed with his back to him.
“Ash, just come downstairs and talk to Misty. I’m sure she didn’t mean it”
“She’s right I wasn’t capable of saving Brock” he muttered. “I let him die”
The professor fell silent not knowing what to say.
“Professor, please just leave…I wanna be alone”
“Just come downstairs whenever you’re ready” he said, walking to the door.
“Ash, I just want you to that it’s not your fault Brock died.”
Ash didn’t respond and heard the professor leave.
He wiped away a tear.
“Stop crying you, pussy” he muttered. “She’s just a stupid fucked up girl … but she’s probably right though”
Ash stood up from his bed and walked to the window.
He looked at the playing pokemon down on the huge field. His eyes wandered over to the lake where a few horseas were frolicking.
“I sure missed this place,” he thought, watching the horseas absentmindedly. “But it has to many painful memories”
He took a deep breath and came to a decision. “I have to confront her, I have to know what she thinks about it….about me”
Misty wiped away her smudged mascara with a tissue.
She had spent the last hour sitting in the dining room crying, feeling guilty for saying those mean things to Gary and especially to Ash.
She pulled her hair band out of her hair and shook her hair loose. It was thick and fell just past her shoulder in soft waves.
“It’s okay for them to tease me, but if I say something back all hell breaks loose”she muttered, falling on her bed.
“Maybe it’s because you mean those things” a voice responded.
Misty looked at the boy standing in the doorway with a shocked expression.
“Ash?”
“Misty can I talk to you?”
She nodded and sat up on her bed. She noticed that his eyes were bloodshot and assumed that he had been crying too. This made her feel even guiltier.
Ash walked over to her bed and hesitated for a while. He didn’t know if it was okay to sit next to her.
“Go ahead” she whispered.
He sat on the bed , looking at her.
Misty twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, avoiding Ash’s eyes.
“Misty look at me” he whispered.
She let her eyes stroll over his face and then looked at her fingers.
“Please forgive me” he muttered.
“Forgive you for what?” she whispered, still looking at her fingers.
“For Brock”
Misty looked up at him
“I know that’s the reason why you can’t even look at me” he whispered.
She didn’t reply.
“Uhm, I see you don’t want to talk. So I’ll just leave you alone” he said quickly, faking a smile. He stood up from the bed and walked to the door.
“I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me someday”
He walked out of the room, sighing miserably.
“I can’t believe I actually thought she was going to forgive me” he whispered.
Misty stood up from her bed and ran to the doorway.
“Ash, wait please”she sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
“Please don’t go”
Ash turned around and a looked at her with a shocked expression upon his face.
“I never blamed you”she started, running up to him.
“I was just too sad and I wanted to put the past behind me. Seeing you and Gary again brings up some painful memories….but I guess I’ll just have to get used to that….I can’t live without you, Ash” she muttered. For the first time that day she looked him in the eyes.
“I need you, Ash” she whispered, as she buried her face in to his chest.
“I need you too, Mist” he whispered, tears welling up in his eyes.
He held her in to a tight embrace.
“You have no idea how much I need you”
“O god” Misty sobbed.
“Wow, you guys fuck each other yet”
Misty and Ash turned around and looked at the grimacing Gary.
“You know this reminds me of beauty and the beast,” he muttered. The strangest thing was there was no hint of laughter in his voice. He looked Misty straight in the eyes.
“I knew it. You have a thing for the pokemon master, ha?…Yeah I see you looking at him” he muttered, looking at the teary- eyed girl.
“Come on Gary, you know it’s not like that, we were just working things out. Something you should try to do as well” Ash said, trying to wipe away the last of his tears.
“Yeah right…try to sort out things with her?” he muttered still looking at Misty.
“And I hope Ketchum didn’t tell you, you look great with your hair like that, cause you don’t”
Misty looked at Gary with tears in her eyes.
“Gary, shut it” Ash whispered dangerously.
“Why are you sticking up for her? You can’t benefit from her. I mean look at her she’s as ugly as sin and she worships the devil”
Misty covered her mouth and screwed up her face in sadness.
“Misty, that’s not true,” Ash started.
She turned around and ran to her room, sobbing furiously.
“Misty wait” Ash exclaimed running after her. She shut the door in front of his face.
“Why do you always have to be such an ass!!” he spat at Gary.
“I don’t know…it’s kind of a hobby” Gary stated sarcastically. And with that he closed the door of his room with a loud thud.
Gary rested his head on the door. “Shit” he muttered, banging his head on the door.
“Now she’s never going to forgive…and she looked so hot just now…with her hair down and without any makeup”
“Wait a minute, what am I saying….I don’t like her!!!” he muttered, falling on his bed.
“I’m going crazy here…she looked terrible just now….right?”:
