The Emerald Crew: The Beginning Of Something Great

Confession

Chicakawaii87 was still shaken, but not as shaken as the night it happened. It's only been two days. She mainly drew on the tablet, but she decided to stick with her sketchbook for the time being. I don't have unlimited colors of color pencils, but this'll have to do. Cotton Sweets had also noticed this strange change.

"Hey there! You alright Chica? I CAN call you that right? Is it ok? Your name is a mouth full."

"Uh... Oh hi! I guess you can call me that. I don't normally get nicknames, but I'll let you. And I'm alright!" Only a moment had passed and Chicakawaii87 couldn't handle it anymore. "Ok, nevermind!! I'm not alright!" She was trying not to cry over something she thought was stupid. Stupid stupid stupid!! Don't cry idiot!!!

Cotton Sweets was surprised by Chicakawaii87's quick confession.

"Uh.. woah! Ok there pal, you want to tell me?" Chicakawaii87 nodded without hesitation.

"If I can stop trying to cry, yes." She mumbled. After a few minutes of trying to calm down and rubbing her eyes. Chicakawaii87 attempted to speak. But her voice continued to tremble.

"Ugh! Why can't my... Voice and thoughts cooperate!" Cotton Sweets looked at her sympathetically.

"It's alright, you can take as long as you want! To be honest I didn't expect you to confess right away and want to tell me instantly what was troubling you! Not many people do that, you're really something!" Cotton Sweets smiled and it and Chicakawaii87 feel better. I am something, aren't I. Cotton Sweets decided to train some more while she waited. Chicakawaii87 focused on what she was going to tell her. About an hour passed. Maybe two. Ok, I think I'm ready! I THINK I am.

"Hey Cotton Sweets!" Chicakawaii87 called. "I may or may not be ready to tell you now!" Cotton Sweets returned her Pokemon and ran over. Ok... This is it! I'm going to say something! Suddenly self doubt caught up to her. Or... Maybe this can sit another time...? I-I REALLY want to..... C'mon c'mon , just say something!!!!!

"So... The thing that's been troubling me...." Chicakawaii87 struggled to remember everything she was gonna say, even though she rehearsed it over and over, "so... You know the day where Sugar got better, and you introduced me to all your Pokemon?"

"Yeah......"  Cotton Sweets looked as if she knew what was going to happen next.

"Well, when we went to our dorm things for the night... I went to check my tablet to see what time it was." Chicakawaii87 felt her heart racing and her neck and face welling with sweat.

"I... I noticed I had alot of notifications." She floated her gaze away from Cotton Sweets. How could a confession be SO hard??? It looks hard, but it always seemed easy for me. Why can't I do it now?

"Hey, Chica! Calm down!" A voice Disturbed her from her thoughts. It was Cotton Sweets. "It's ok, you don't have to tell me."

"N-no, I want to tell you." The words slipped out of her mouth like a river. "I... Heard that if you tell someone what's going on, it'll make you feel better! It'll... It'll make you less of a mess... S-something like that! It's just that... It's taking me longer than usual...." Cotton Sweets looked at her. She looked as if she had some relation, but was mainly confused. Chicakawaii87 took a deep breath. "So... The notifications.... They were ALL from my family. I got scared... I freaked out. They were probably asking about my whereabouts and why I left. But... I didn't WANT to go back home. I... Want to stay here... Go where you go.... So I deleted everyone from everything they could use to contact me with. I got so nervous and scared that I didn't want to wake up, check my tablet, and find more messages from them. So... I went back to using my sketchbook." Chicakawaii87 looked up.

Cotton Sweets took in every word. She didn't know exactly what to say. Uh.. does chicakawaii87 really not want to go home THAT much?  She wanted to comfort Chicakawaii87, to ensure that everything should be alright now. But she didn't know how to. She was just amazed that she was willing to say.... ALL THAT.

"Hey... That... Took ALOT of guts to say. Heh, honestly... I don't think I'd be able to say and tell all that you just did. Heh heh..." She looked down. "You said you wanted to stay with me, right? 'go where you go'. Well... Then come on! Let's go... " She looked down at her pokeballs containing her Pokemon. "Let's go and beat the gym".
