Contestshipping AMV Oneshots

()Don't Fall in Love..() By:Yoshiforlife

This time I actually found an AMV for this song, but for whatever reason when I search for it through Wattpad I can't find the video. So I have attached the lyrics to the song. If you are interested on seeing the contestshipping AMV for this song search "May/Drew Terrible Things (Contestshipping MEP)" and it should appear. It's a beautifully sad amv and I hope I can do it justice with this contescontestshipping oneshot.

*Warning* This will NOT have a happy ending.

Here it is..

() Don't Fall in Love ()

I was waiting for my dad to get home.. When I was eight years old Grandma had given me a picture of my dad and mother on their wedding day. She tried to explain to me why I have no recollection of my mom, but I didn't want to hear it then. After my refusal to hear the information, she told me to ask my dad a when I had finally decided I wanted to know what happened to my mom...

Today was it. The day before my sixteenth birthday, I had decided that I wanted to know why my mom wasn't here and why I had absolutely no recollection of her.

So I sat there in the apartment, in the dark, just starring at this picture of my mom and dad on there wedding day. Tears began dripping from my eyes.

Dad was flying back here from Slateport city, where he had just finished judging a pokemon contest. He was a top ranked coordinator who won a few Grand Festivals. He eventually ended his coordinating days and is now considered to be one of the best retired coordinators of all time. He judges a lot of pokemon contests now a days, so that keeps him extremely busy. Though he makes enough money to more then take care of us.

I heard the keys unlock the front door and I jumped to my feet and put the picture behind my back.

"Welcome Home Dad!" I exclaimed.

"James, what are you doing sitting here in the dark?" He asked as he switched the lights on. "And what have you been crying about?!" He asked concerned after seeing my puffy irritated eyes.

I hadn't realized my tears were that noticeable. I wiped them away and handed the picture to my dad.

His eyes widened and began to fill with water as he saw the picture. "How did you get this!?" My father asked sounding enraged.

"Grandma gave it to me a while ago.. She told me to ask you when I was ready to know what happened to her.."

My dad just stood there. Staring at me.
"Okay." He sighed a heavy breath, "Take a seat and I'll be out in a second. "

I did as he had told me to do. I took a seat on the couch in our living room and waited for him to return from his room. A few minutes later he returned with a gigantic photo album in his hand and gave it to me. He took a seat in a chair facing the sofa.

I hesitantly opened the photo album, but when I did I was greeted with hundreds of pictures of my mom. Before dad, with dad, and after I was born. Up until I was near one year old, there were pictures of me with her.

"What happened to her? " I asked my dad, beginning to feel the water build in my eyes. "Did she abandon us?"

My dad shook his head 'no' frantically.

"Then why isn't she here!?" I raised my broken voice.

"She was at the doctors a lot when she was pregnant with you.." He began, trying not to choke on his words, "Thankfully when your mom started acting strange, she was at the doctors enough that they began noticing the differences in her behavior. ."

I sat there intrigued and yet saddened at the same time.

"They ended up diagnosing her with stage 4, terminal brain cancer after giving birth to you... But she didn't tell anyone about her diagnosis until a few months before she ended up passing on."

"Not even you? " I asked my dad cautiously. Seeing the visible pain in his eyes.

"Only a few weeks before." He admited, "Of course your mother didn't want me to sad about the thought of us loose her. She kept telling me that You (James) and I(Drew) were the greatest things that ever happened to her."

We both broke out crying.

We continued till we had no more tears to cry.

"Son, I don't want you to ever feel like I did. Love is weakness. Love sets you up for pain beyond your wildest nightmares. "

I looked him straight in the face and replied, "I'll is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all."
