Pulling through ( An amour shipping story)

Fixing the problem

Well that title wasn't creative at all, sorry for not updating, I died for a bit guys.
—————————————————————————
We now see Serena, Ash and his worried Pikachu in a medical room in the poke center. Only problem was, they were worried because Ash is currently unconscious and Serena can't help but blame it on her self.

There was actually a history behind the real reason she blamed it on herself, it reminded her of when her mom and father left her when she was 8 it hurt her to talk about about it but when she saw the "she" had put Ash in, memory's couldn't help but flood her mind.

You know what's about to happen. flashback time!
Flashback
Serena is eight and her father died 3 months ago from a mugging, Serena and her mom Grace were deeply disturbed by his death but Serena's mother seemed like she took his death the hardest which was understandable considering that she was his wife and all. Serena often tried to comfortably her mother and understood what she was going through even at her age, but her attempts where all in vain, recently Grace began to come to the house very late which left Serena alone in the house most of the time which was scary for her at that age especially. When she did come home her mom did act a little drowsy and unfocused, and Serena noticed it was getting worse as the days past. Until one day on a cold winter night Serena was still awake waiting for her mom and was shivering from the cold. She heard the door swing violently open, she was getting kind of happy at first because her mom had come home, but the way she ripped open the door concerned Serena. Her smile smile quickly faded and resembled fear as she heard her mom call out in a creepy sing-song. "S-Serenaaa, come out- *hiccup*" she said, Serena foolishly came to the door not knowing what to expect, "mom, what took you so long?'' Serena asked getting a little cautious. "Don't you talk back to me you little brat!", Grace said. Serena was shocked, she was used to the verbal abuse, but this time she didn't think she did and thing majorly upsetting. "this is all because of you! Lysandre would be alive if it wasn't for you- you... waste of life!!" Her mom yelled frustrated at nothing. Serena was bawling at this point, she felt like she wasn't doing enough to help around but thanks to her moms words she did indeed feel worthless. She didn't know what to do and ran to her moms room and locked the door. She panicked as she heard Grace step closer and closer until she saw the landline on the bedside table and dialed 911 (just pretend she can dial). "911 whats your emergency?'' The operator said. "M-my mom isn't acting normal a-a-and I don't know what to do" She said sniffling and shedding tears mid sentence. "stay right their young lady, we'll track your call and be on our way". "please hurry" Serena said before cutting the call.

Long story short Serena hid under the bed until the police arrived, they took Grace in and also took Serena for questioning. After a few days of court and verification Grace was put to deal 7 years in prison for child abuse and endangerment. Serena was put in a foster home until the old lady who took her in died of natural causes, after a few months of being closely monitored by child support she got her first starter Pokemon at the age of ten. The rest is a non-creative blur.

----------------——End of flashback -------------------

Serena was in her thoughts as Ash was beginning to flinch and regain conciseness, she didn't notice this until Pikachu cried out which broke her from her thoughts.

Ash: Mmmfmfmf.... where am I? Pikachu?

He looked around and identified the room he was in as a Pokémon center hospital room. He looked around more until he saw Serena looking at him with a blank expression.

Pikachu: "Pikaa!!"

Ash: "Pikachu? whats wrong buddy? What are you doing here Serena?"

Serena: "Oh- I- umm... I'm sorry!"                                                                                                                                She yelled out with her eyes tearing up but Ash looked at her confused 

" Sorry? What do you have to be sorry for? Ash asked perplexed"

Serena:" Y-you don't remember?"

Ash: "Apparently not, I'm in a Poke center room right? How did I get here?"

Serena:"Well...--"

She began to explain everything that happened from the Eevee story to how he ended up here, she kept on saying it was her fault every sentence and Ash just smiled while listening to her.  

"Your really brave you know Serena'' Ash exclaimed. "W-wait what? Aren't you mad?" Serena asked still recovering from the compliment. "How could I be mad? You saved that Eevee from Pokemon hunters, you stayed here the whole while I was recovering, AND your blaming it on yourself. You have anything to be sorry for Serena, I reality I should be the one thanking you" Ash said. Serena started tearing up and blushed at his kind words as she wasn't really used to getting complements from others. "Hey hey hey, why are you crying?" Ash asked in a comforting tone. "S-sorry, I'm just not really used to getting complements that much" Serena said. "well you should," Serena blushed at this, why was he being so nice to her? When everyone that knew about her problems stayed away from her why had he tried to to comfort her?. She deiced to keep these thoughts to her self for now. Ash stared at her blank face and thought: "Shes pretty cute", "wait what! When did I start thinking about her like that?" He thought. Serena evenly snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Ash who was still starring at her, the two quickly found themselves in a very awkward situation, Pikachu noticed this and looked at the two and snickered. Ash, in a desperate attempt to end the awkward moment"Oh that's right what happened to Eevee?". "I haven't actually checked up on it in a while" Serena replied. "Well don't both of us check up on it?" Ash suggested. "Sure why not?'' She was about to leave the room before she realized that she shouldn't have asked Ash to get up as he still might be tired, "wait Ash don't get up you still need to rest" Serena said. "But I feel fine really, I only hit by a double edge from what you said and that's not a particularly strong move so I should be fine" Ash answered. "O..kay I guess". They walked over to nurse Joy and requested to see Eevee again, she brought out Eevee's Pokeball and walked over to an empty battlefield to call out Eevee but Ash took a step back as he knew Eevee wasn't very fond of Ash as much as Serena is.

"Eevee Come on out"
