It was a bright sunday morning, an unusual day as it was only early February. Valentines day was soon and I didn't know what was going on for that day, it sat in the back of my mind among the homework I had.

Josh's dad was as bad as ever, with detentions every so often. My Mom was worried about my 'behaviour' and Serena wasn't happy that I was always in detention, because it gave us less time together.

Every time I looked at Sarah in the eyes, I could see our 3 years together and felt like I wanted more, I had to realize what was infront of me before I could shake the thoughts off. I think Sarah felt that way, except she was acting really strange around me and more flirtatious.

I stepped outside into the chilled breeze that kept the day at a perfect temperature. You could tell it was still winter, even with the sun out.

There was a few flowers blooming to suggest spring was upon us but it was still a few weeks away. I opened my gate and stepped past it. I then turned on my heels and headed down the street. I decided I was going to keep a little distance from Sarah and today, tell her to make sure she understands.

I knocked on her door and she answered it almost immediately. She swung the door open with such force that I nearly fell over. I kept calm and cleared my throat.

"I just came to tell you that if I seem distant, it's because as you know, I am dating Serena and with all this homework and stuff, I need to spend more time with her" I scratched the back of my head nervously, I felt like I was handling another girlfriend.

"I understand, Ash. After all I am not your girlfriend, Serena is" She sounded like the words hurt.

"Sarah, do you.. still have feelings for me? Even after all this time. I can tell from the way you are saying it" She stared at me with honest eyes, but only nodded and made an awkward smile.

So now I felt like I was choosing. I thought back to the memories I had with Sarah. So many great days, some bad days but 3 years of happiness. With Serena, we have been together a year and now a few months and have had constant problems with our relationship, sometimes there was a day were she was mad at me, then come back happy. Then there was the summer. She betrayed me for Calem. 'One stupid mistake' something that, even now I couldn't forgive.

There was an awkward silence as my thoughts overcame me. Suddenly, Sarah was in my face, holding my shoulders.

"Do you still love me Ash?" She said with a serious face. I felt like turning into liquid and just floating away. I couldn't give an answer, because I wanted to say yes.

"I love Serena and no one else" My head strained for a moment. I think Sarah knew I was lying but she took it anyway.

"Well, I love you Ash" She put her hands on my chest and I backed off a little. Suddenly she was in my face again and I found myself meeting her lips. The thought of Calem and Serena went through my mind and how betrayed I felt. I tried to release but she had her hands on me, like I was being forced into it. I decided to just slip onto the floor, causing us both to fall over. I sighed, just as a heard a voice that crushed my heart into a thousand pieces.

"Ash? What is this" I turned around and jumped to my feet. Serena had tears in her eyes.

"Listen, let me explain. It isn't what you think, she forced herself onto me!" I tried reasoning with her but instead got a handprint on the side of my face.

"After everything that has happened, you decide I am not good enough? Is that it. You probably don't even have detentions anymore" She ran off and I collapsed onto my knee's. I began to headbutt the ground over and over again. Why did Sarah come onto me like that? I turned with a few tears in my eyes and saw Sarah, who was staring at me, speechless. I turned back and ran full speed after Serena.

I saw her walking through the park "Serena!" I shouted. Instead of her turning, someone stepped infront of her. Calem.

I felt like digging myself a grave and jumping into it. Then, something in my body snapped. I felt angry, but at myself.

"You think it's ok to break someones heart, then act like everything is fine" Calem folded his arms and Serena turned to look from a distance.

"No?! Why would I do that? I didn't even kiss Sarah. She kissed me!" I tried to explain again but I was cut off.

"Ash Ketchum, I think I need to teach you how to treat a woman" He grinned as if to say he had won.

I clenched my fists and moved closer "Does that include shoving your lips into their face when you're drunk and they have a boyfriend?" I stopped an inch from his face.

"Now move out of my way, before I make you" I said threatening Calem.

In about a second I was on the floor. Something had hit me hard in the head and I looked up at Calem with a shakey fist. I looked back at Serena with a face that was apologizing. I tried to get her to see sense but there was another hard hit to my head.

Despite Calem trying to hurt me, I walked past him and went to Serena.

"Serena" I softly.

She looked me in the eyes, but said nothing. Her ocean blue eyes looked dead.

"You know I would never, ever, do something as bad as what you're thinking. I am never after revenge and never will be. Can't you see. You're still my one and only. It hurts to see you upset. Is there any way you can understand?" I stroked her soft, honey blonde hair as the wind picked up.

"Ash, I don't know if I can understand" She said with no emotion.

"What can I do to get you to see I am serious?" I was begging her at this point.

"Choose, Ash" Her eyes narrowed, she was serious.

"Sarah or me. Whoever you don't choose, you can never speak to again" Here it was. The ultimatum of my life. It was an easy choice at this point. Sarah still liked me but I didn't feel the same about her anymore. Serena was in the spotlight. The girl who's smile was more perfect than anything in the world. Who's ocean blue eyes were as deep and beautiful as the ocean itself. Her beautiful honey blonde hair. Her amazing body and personality. I wanted it all so bad a year ago and now I wanted it back.

"Serena, you know the answer already. You're the only one for me in my life now. If I have to forget about Sarah, then so be it" I put my hands around her body and she pulled in for a hug.

"Lets go get and drink, so I can explain everything" I asked and she nodded. As we walked down the street, she began playing with the pendant I gave her. Could we trust eachother anymore? I felt like things have changed. I just need to make sure that no more mistakes are made.

For Serena.

For myself.

For our future.
