***Part 14***

Misty cleaned her face when she first entered the room. Disgusted by the kiss, Rudy had given her. Sharon still had not come back. Apparently she was having a grand time with Greg. She smiled. At least Sharon was enjoying herself. Sighing Misty decided to check Ash's and Brock's room for Ash.

She knocked once and she heard Ash answer her, "Come in." Smiling she opened the door, exclaiming, "Ash! I've been looking every-What?"

Ash was sitting on the bed looking at Misty with a hard and angry look on his face.

"We need to talk..."

"Ohh-kay..." Misty replied wearily as she sat on a chair in front of Ash. He was looking at her with a weird look on his face... "Is anything wrong Ash?"

"Yes... As a matter of fact there is... I want you out Misty..." Ash replied curtly.

"Ou-Out? Out where?" Misty's heart began to race as it awaited Ash's answer.

"I want you out of the group, I want you out this island, and I want you out of my life." Ash snapped. "Or better yet, go cuddle up with you fucking lover!"

Misty gasped, "What?!"

"Don't act so innocent Misty cuz I know you aren't... And with what I've just seen, I'm sure it wouldn't surprise me if you actually weren't..." Ash snapped.

"But what-" Misty took a deep breath and then continued trying to steady her racing heart and breaking voice. "What are-you tal-talking about Ash Ketchum?!"

"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about Misty Waterflower! I saw you. Kissing Rudy and getting all horny on him..."

Misty gasped. Ash had seen when Rudy had kissed her? But surely he must know-?

"And here's me actually thinking you loved me for real... But I guess I was wrong... Now... Get the hell away from me Misty! We're breaking up and I'm dismissing you from the group. Now get packing. I want you on the ferry back to Cerulean City, first thing tomorrow. Goodbye..."

Ash said this so forcefully and unfeelingly that to prove his point he got up from the bed and went to the desk where the computer was and started it up, looking at the screen determinedly.

Misty put a hand over her chest to steady her racing heat. Could her one true love actually believe this? Then suddenly she realized something... Shadow... Ash was doing the same to her that he had done to Shadow... Her heart glowed at his reason of anger but she had no time for it. She walked up to his desk. She placed her sweaty palms upon it until he was forced to look up at her.

"Listen to me well, Ash and listen good. I will not leave you because I won't stay. I love you and I'm not ready to give that up. I'll fight you until the end of my days. And I know I've hurt you but I hope not as much as you're hurting me..." Misty whispered achingly.

"Damn you!" Ash shouted.

Misty flinched at the anger in the sweet voice of her love but she continued, praying that the tears threatening to come spilling down would stay in check, "I love you and I know you do too. I won't let you do this to us because of this. I'll stand my ground in this battle until you surrender and come for me. I only hope it won't be too late..."

"Are you finished?" Ash spat.

"No." Misty straightened herself up and went on, "One more thing Ash. I am not a Growlithe, Ash Ketchum; I am a human being. You can't order me because I-won't-obey!"

And with that she stomped off leaving Ash to wonder what the hell she meant by her last comment. Shaking his head, he set about to get a ticket for Misty out of this island.

But before he could do so, there was another timid knock upon the door.

"Come in!" Ash called out.

The door pushed itself open slowly as Brock and Tracey peeked in.

"We heard the fight..." Brock said awkwardly.

"Couldn't help it... door was open..." Tracey shrugged.

"Misty said you guys broke up, didn't say why..." Brock added.

Ash sighed, rolled the chair away from the desk and began to explain briefly of what had happened...

******

Misty ran outside, crying. However a surprise met her at the door. Brock and Tracey were standing there paralyzed with shock. She choked back a sob.

"We-... We broke up..." And with that said she ran into her bedroom across the hall, threw herself on the bed and began to sob hysterically.

Misty couldn't believe it... Ash had left her... He was gone...

"Mis-Misty?" A breaking voice asked from the doorway.

Misty looked up and saw a tear-stained Sharon standing there.

"You too?" Sharon asked, voice barely above a whisper.

Misty nodded. Sharon went over to her and together they cried, sobbing, nonstop.

Quietly they both began to explain how their broke-ups had occurred. Soon they sat side by side, not crying, nor sobbing, merely lost in though. Then quite suddenly, Sharon stood up, nearly upturning Misty.

"I have to go for a walk." Sharon decided."I can't sit here all day, moping.

Misty nodded, smiling.

"I'll stay here. Hope you figure things out Shar..." Misty replied.

"You too Mist... You too..." Sharon smiled and left the room, finally leaving Misty alone to think by herself...
