WARNING! Strong language.

"Go. I'll stay here with Steven" May says, as she plays with Steven's light blue hair.

"You sure?" (Y/F/N) asks. May nods, smiling.

"Yeah! Go find your friend, she really needs you right now."

May smiles kindly at your friend. (Y/F/N) leaves the room against her will. She doesn't trust Steven after what he did to you, but can't stay here just to scold him when you're in danger.

"Ah, today is a good day!"

Matt rips the blinds open. The sun shines on your face.

"For you."

"True" Matt shrugs. "You won't like what we'll be doing today, but it's not like I care. Come on, get up. We have a long day ahead of us!"

His cheeriness pisses you off. You had no idea what he was planning, nor what you had to do with it.

•••

Steven places a hand on his forehead. His head is pounding with pain and it feels heavy.

May turns around to look at him. She can sense he's awake, but she's not sure if it's okay to talk to him. Their friendship still is in bad terms.

"Where am I?" He asks.

May's heart shatters a little. He sounds like a totally different person...

"At the hospital. I brought you here, because you were thinner than usual and had signs of dehydration" May explains.

Steven gets agitated. He shots open his eyes, desperate, and proceeds to try removing his iv.

"Steven, what are you doing?" May rushes to his side, holding his hands. "You need to stay here, or you are going to die!"

"(Y/N) needs me. I don't care if I die, but I care if she does."

"I don't know what you're saying, Stevo. I need you to calm down and tell me everything you've heard and saw, yeah? Then maybe we can help find (Y/N)."

She stares sweetly into Steven's light blue eyes. He looks away, still too hurt from what he saw the other day.

Flashback
Steven's P.O.V

It's odd that my father hasn't called yet. I wonder what he is doing right now. It must be important, for him to forget about me. Not that I enjoy being next to him.

The door is barely open. I don't know if I should knock or just come in. Either option sounds scary.

"Yes. Just do what I say, Matt."

Matt? I've heard that name somewhere.

"I am doing what you say! She's fragile, though, I'm afraid she might die before the big day comes."

"Hm, that's not good... Is she eating and sleeping well?"

"She works out twelve hours a day, if not more, and does not have a lot of time to eat and sleep properly."

"Crap..."

I hear something being thrown at the floor. Who are they talking about? That's what I want to know.

"Do you want to change her regimen?"

"No, keep going. If she dies, Ron and Julia will calm down, at least."

Ron and Julia?! Aren't those (Y/N)'s parents?

My hands start shaking. What do I do?

Think, Steven, just think...

Who am I kidding? There's no point in thinking. (Y/N) might be in danger.

I grab my phone to call Wallace. We might have had our rough times, but I know I can trust him.

"Steven!"

I close my eyes. At this point, I'm not scared of him anymore. I just deal with him. Sounds scarier this time, but it's not like I care. I probably should.

"Coming!" I yell back.

I send a text message to Wallace, just hoping he would see it and know that I'm in big trouble.

End of Flashback.

3rd person's P.O.V

May's eyes were blinded with anger. Not at Joseph or Steven, but Wallace. She even felt her eyelid twitch.

"Give me one damn second" She growls, walking out of Steven's room.

She stomps her way to the waiting room. As Wallace lays eyes on her, he stands up to ask if Steven's fine. Instead of words coming out of her mouth, her hand lands on his cheek.

"Ouch, Maylene! What the heck?!" He yells out, grabbing her hand.

"Steven texted you! He gave you a sign! And you waited a full week before coming to me!" May cries in response. She couldn't stop shaking. She's in disbelief.

"What do you mean? I haven't received anything" He states, lowering May's hands. "May, you seriously need to calm down. Take a deep breath and tell me what is happening."

"What's happening is that you ignored your best friend, now him and (Y/N) are in serious danger" She spits out, before heading back to Steven's room.

"Good job, Poochyena. Come back!"

You retrieve Poochyena and walk out of the chamber. You were tired, your bones felt like weights, and you just wanted it to be over.

"Not bad, (Y/N)" Matt claps. "Your score is..."

"Stop it" You raise your hand. "I don't want to know. Leave me alone, please."

You put Poochyena's Poké Ball inside the healing machine before walking away. Matt follows.

"Young lady, you know you shouldn't talk to me like that!" He hisses.

"Yeah, and what will you do about it?" You smirk. Ever since your mom sent that message, you took every opportunity you had to piss Matt off.

"You little brat! I hope Joseph takes good care of your parents!"

You stop walking. Matt widens his eyes, just realizing what he said. You stomp your way back to him.

"What the hell did you just say?" You grow, shoving your finger on his face.

Matt smirks, even though he's terrified of you at the moment.

"Exactly what you heard" He teases. You step closer, grabbing him by the shirt.

"You said Joseph would take care of them. Joseph who?" You ask on a threatening tone.

"Well, who do you think?"

You let go of Matt. Your (E/C) eyes trailed off to Steven's father.

Shit, shit. Not him. Please, not him.

You growl at Matt before going back to your room.

Final A/N

Look who's finally updating, huh? Sorry it took me a week, it's not usual for me, I had a goshdang writer's block. I'm back now and good to go! I have two more chapters written and ready to post, it'll probably take me a few more days to edit, add images, choose a theme song, yada yada, all that good stuff ^^

Luv, Angel.

Small edit: I do have an extra chapter expanding Steven's backstory. If you'd like to see it, just let me know. I'll probably post it after the main story.
