A/N: Song "Goodbye to You" by Michelle Branch and I know I already used this song (or rather the lyrics in "Missing Misty") but I just had to use it!

________________________________________________

***Part 18***

Ash stared after Misty's retreating figure then back at the tape. Should he listen to it? He loved her... Yes, he still did, but what she had done was unforgivable...

"Aren't you gonna hear it Ash?" Brock asked.

Ash shook his head.

"Aren't you at least a little curious of what she made for you?" questioned Tracey.

Ash shook his head again. he had to forget Misty... He had to... Even if he did love her... but what did he have to love with just hearing a tape? He sat on a chair near him and pushed the tape inside the cassette player, pushing play as he stared up at Tracey and Brock. He just hoped it wouldn't break his heart...

"Ash... Look I know I've hurt you, and terribly and that you might never ever forgive me but please... done leave me alone like Shadow... I love you and you love me... Rudy just kissed me is all... And the moment he did, only one though came to my mind... you, Ash... So Sharon has asked me to sing this song to you... She says it's my last defense and she and I both know it will bring us back together... I love you... and... I'm sorry..."

Ash felt tears sting his eyes as she heard Misty's confession and apology... He loved her.. and she still loved him after all he had done to her. he had yelled at her, cursed her in the face, and scorned her behind her back... He done this to her...

He had driven her away for good and all because of his jealousy which had only called for an explanation not an explosion....Soon Misty's voice echoed into the tape... She was singing beautifully...

Of all the things I believed in,

I just want to get it over with.

Tears form behind my eyes,

But I do not cry,

Counting the days that pass me by.

I've been searching deep down in my soul.

Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old.

It feels like I'm starting all over again.

The last three years were just pretend,

And I said,

Chorus:

Goodbye to you,

Goodbye to everything that I knew,

You were the one I loved,

The one thing that I tried to hold on to.

I still get lost in your eyes,

And it seems that I can't live a day without you.

Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away.

To a place where I am blinded by the light,

But it's not right.

Chorus:

Goodbye to you,

Goodbye to everything that I knew,

You were the one I loved,

The one thing that I tried to hold on to.

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time,

I want what's yours and I want what's mine,

I want you,

But I'm not giving in this time!

Chorus:

Goodbye to you,

Goodbye to everything that I knew,

You were the one I loved,

The one thing that I tried to hold on to.

Chorus:

Goodbye to you,

Goodbye to everything that I knew,

You were the one I loved,

The one thing that I tried to hold on to.

The one thing that I tried to hold on to.

The one thing that I tried to hold on to.

And when the stars fall,

I will lie awake,

You're my shooting star...

Ash stood up as the song ended and the cassette player stopped, his eyes filled with tears but there was something different about his eyes... They were different... no... normal... Back to their original loving chocolate brown... He had to stop Misty from getting on the boat! He took off the headphones and stuffed it into his backpack.

"I have to stop Misty!" Ash nearly yelled letting his backpack fall into Brock's arms. "Take care of-!"

"Don't worry, Ash, we will." Tracey smiled taking Pikachu into his arms. "You better hurry. Misty left 20 minutes ago... The boat leaves in less than 10 minutes."

"Thanks guys." Ash sighed in relief and anxiety.

And just as he was running out the door, Brock called after him, "And Ash!" Ash turned to him. Brock grinned, "Don't come back without her!"

"I won't!" Ash shouted back.

He certainly hoped he came back with her, arm in arm... embraced as one... He loved her and couldn't end it like this... He just couldn't...
