Reasons of the Heart – Why do I love you?

“Did too!”

“Not!”

“Too!”

“NOT”

“TOO!”

“Guys stop,” Brock said abruptly.  This was a normal everyday occurrence for the gang.  Ash and Misty would fight like a couple of two year olds, you would hardly believe that they were both fourteen, and Brock and Pikachuu would do everything in the power to keep the disagreement under control.  Usually they succeeded as long as Ash didn’t say anything stupid.  “Can’t we settle this with a nice quiet discussion and a cup of tea?”

“He/She started it,” Ash and Misty replied at the same time.

“Excuse me!” Misty gaped.  “I started it?”

“Yeah,” Ash replied cautiously.

“Well if I’m not mistaken -” she said calmly pausing for only a second”- YOU’RE THE MORON WHO KEEPS GETTING US LOST!” she yelled at the top of her lungs.

“We’re not lost,” Ash replied calmly. “If we were lost I wouldn’t have the slightest indication of where we are.”

“Then where are we brainiac,” she asked smugly.

“We’re lost in the Viridian forest.”

Brock quickly grabbed onto Misty’s arms trying to keep her from doing anything that could severely injure herself or others, namingly Ash.  He motioned for Ash to move but Ash made not hint of moving form his spot.  Misty quickly struggled out of Brocks grasp and stalked over to where Ash was standing.

“Misty isn’t this a little rash?” Brock asked cowering away from her.

“Just be thankful I have my priorities straight,” she muttered.  Kill Ash now, Brock will get his later.  “Ash if you weren’t such a dimwit we could have been out of here hours ago.  Gary’s probably long gone,” she added just to see Ash cringe.

Ash groaned inwardly at the sound of his rivals name and clenched his teeth.  “If you’re such the genius Misty, why don’t you lead the way?”

“Because you’re such a selfish stubborn little twerp and hog the map,” she replied raising her voice.

“I’m the selfish one,” Ash said nodding his head sarcastically.  “You see, I’m pretty sure that I’m not the selfish stubborn little RUNT who has been following me around for the past four years because of some stupid bike.”  Bad move Ash, VERY bad move.

He saw Misty step back and watched her eyes cloud over but somehow he couldn’t react, he was paralyzed.  There were so many things he could have called her, idiot, bitch, whore, but no.  He called her the one thing he knew would hurt her more than anything, the one really hurtful thing you could ever say to Misty.  Runt.

But it wasn’t just the word.  It was also the fact that he had said it.  The one person she cared for more than anything else in the world.  Her best friend.  She couldn’t believe that the only person she had ever loved could hurt her that way and stand there doing nothing, like it didn’t matter.  Like she didn’t matter.

“Fine Ash,” she said quietly.  “Just forget about the bike.  I’ll get a new one in Cerulean.”

Then she did something that hurt him more than anything ever said in their childish banters.  She bent down and she packed her things.  He guessed it was only fair; he hurt her so it was payback.

“Good bye Brock, Pikachuu.  I hope I see you again someday,” she said.

“Togepri” ((Mommy I don’t want to go, not without daddy)) the baby Pokemon cried.

“We’re not wanted here anymore,” she told her quietly her voice on the brink of tears.  She bent down and grabbed Togepei in her arms.

“Wait, Misty I . . .” Ash started.

Misty turned and shook her head cutting him off as tears welled in her eyes.  “I just thought you should know,” she said pausing to keep herself from crumbling into tears in front of him of all people.  “It was never about the bike.”  She quickly ran from the scene tears streaming from her eyes ads he ran Togepei clutched to her chest

Suddenly the promise of love is gone

Suddenly breathing seems so hard to do

Carefully you planned it

I got to know just a minute too late

Now I understand it

All the times we made love together

Baby you were thinking of him

Why do I love you?

Don’t even want to

Why do I love you like I do?

Like I always do

You should have told me

Why did you have to be untrue?

{Love you like I do}

Why do I love you like I do?

Ain’t going to show no weakness

I’m going to smile and tell the whole world I’m fine

I’m going to keep my senses

But deep down where no one can hear me

Baby I’ll be crying for you

Why do I love you?

Don’t even want to

Why do I love you like I do?

Like I always do

You should have told me

Why did you have to be untrue?

{Love you like I do}

Why do I love you like I do?

Can’t go back

Can’t erase

Baby your smiling face

I can think of nothing else but you

Suddenly

Why do I love you?

Don’t even want to

Why do I love you like I do?

Like I always do

You should have told me

Why did you have to be untrue?

{Love you like I do}

Why do I love you like I do?

(Why do I love you? Westlife)

“What have I done?” Ash asked. 

“I’ll tell you what you’ve done,” Brock scowled.  “You just let the one you love run out of your life without even letting her know how you feel.  The only one you’ll ever love has gone and it’s your own fault.”

“She’s right,” Ash sighed.  “I am the brainless moron she always said I was.  How could I do this to her?”

“Love makes you do stupid things,” Brock told him.  “Some stupider than others.  Where are you going?” Brock called as Ash began to run off in the same direction as Misty.

“I’ve got to find her,” Ash told him grabbing his stuff and Pikachuu.

“Then I’m coming too,” Brock told him.
