Missing My Other Half:  Chapter 4

	Misty ran out of the gym as fast as she could.  She got into her car, heading to the 
Pallet Town Hospital.  Misty could not believe what she heard on the phone.  The same 
message replayed through her head.  She felt the thoughts of everything that happened 
play through, from the party, to the gym, to the phone call.  Her whole body went numb.  
She was paying more attention to her thoughts, she didn't see the large gaping hole in the 
middle of the road.  Misty's car flew into the giant gap.  Luckily, Misty wasn't hurt, but 
there was no way she would be able to make it by car.  She hopped out and sprinted 
towards Pallet Town.

	A storm started to move in on the running girl.  Rain poured down and lightning 
filled the air.  She continued to run, the freezing rain not slowing her at all.  High winds 
picked up, slowing Misty's pace.  However, she did not get up.  She had to make it to the 
hospital, before it was too late.  

	It was extremely dark by the time Misty reached the hospital.  Misty ran inside, 
drenched from the rain.  Everyone that was there looked at her.  She didn't care what they 
thought.  She had to see him.  She had to see Ash.

	Misty pushed her way through the saddened crowd.  She asked Ash's mom where 
she would find Ash.  Ash's mom pointed down the hall, and started to cry.  Misty felt 
tears coming in herself.  She ran down the hall and opened the door to the room that 
contained Ash.  Ash was lying without moving.  Misty stared at Ash.  BEEP BEEP 
BEEP!  She didn't want to lose Ash, not now, not before she got the chance to apologize.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

	Ash's heart rate quickened slightly.  Misty walked to Ash's side, and held his 
hand.  The heart rate quickened

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…

	The doctors sighed.  "That's it," one of them said quietly.  Misty started to cry.  
She bent her head forward to Ash's chest.  She started to grab her hand.  Apparently, Ash 
recently attempted suicide.  Well, committed suicide.  Misty cried.  She was considering 
suicide herself.  Then, only then, would she be reunited with Ash.  However, Ash was 
clinging to something.  Misty felt a slip of paper in Ash's hand.  She opened it up and 
read it:
	
"Misty.  Yes it is true, I am going to attempt suicide.  I couldn't live through the pain I 
have caused u at the party, and I couldn't bear what I saw at the gym.  I have considered 
this for a long time, and I have now decided to act.  Please, live your life on.  You have 
many things that you must accomplish in life.  One day, we will be reunited.  But until 
then, live on with your life.  I will always be watching over you.  And one last final thing.  
I, well, I loved you, ever since I first saw you.  I still love you, and, I will always love 
you.  –Ash-"

	Misty held the note to her heart, and cried more.  She apologized over and over 
for what she had caused Ash to do.  However, she promised to herself, and to Ash, that 
she would live on.

	It has been four years since Ash died.  Misty is now married and has two beautiful 
children.  Misty has accomplished many things in life.  However, even though she has a 
growing family and almost everything she ever wanted, she still feels partially empty.  
She reads the note that Ash left her the day he died.  Nothing could ever fill the hole that 
was left in Misty.  She would always be missing her other half.
