Here goes the post I never wanted to ever write.

-Lux-

I left without them noticing. I couldn’t be around them, not right now. It hurt too much.

I’m not sure how but I ended up in a bar, had a few drinks and left. I won’t say I was drunk but I could definitely feel the pain had eased up a bit. However, I only sat on a bench in front of the lake as the fireworks began to go off. I took another gulp from the bottle I had bought and placed it down beside me. As I took out the ring from my pocket, I looked it over. I had thought long and hard on what I wanted to get her, but I guess it wasn’t enough. I placed it back in the small box that it came in and placed it on the bench beside me as I watched the fireworks.

Man I guess I did a bit more damage to myself then I thought went I fought Snow. I was bleeding from my wrist and knuckles were bruised. I began to lick them as a familiar female voice came from behind.

“There you are!”

“Hmm.” I turned to see Shupple and Arc standing there.

“We’ve been looking for you! Why did you leave us so quickly?” Shupple asked coming up be side me.

“Hey Shupple I will be right back…” Arc told her as she excused himself.

She nodded and looked at me again, “Hey Lux answer me!”

I shrugged and continued looking off in the distance. “No reason really, just felt that I needed to leave you two alone.”

“Oh, well you didn’t have to.” She placed her hand on mine, “Your hands, they are really beat up….but you aren’t hurt anywhere else. You really beat Snow up didn’t you.”

“I suppose.”

She blinked. “You seem sort of evasive right now Lux. Well…I just wanted to thank you for what you did. You friendship means a lot.”

We can still be friends….

“Meh…” Friends she says? I, I don’t know anymore.

“By the way, how much alcohol have you had. You breath smells of vodka.” She asked pinching my cheek. I guess this was her way of teasing me but I only stood up and leaned on the fence as the fireworks kept going. “Lux you…you okay?”

“Yeah I am fine Shupple!” I smiled at her, “And about the alcohol I couldn’t tell you, I lost track after seven.”

“SEVEN! What hell Lux!!! That’s bad for you!!! Where is Hoom to scold you?” She slammed her hand on the bench and noticed the box. “What’s this? It looks like a ring box?”

“Humph, that is because it is a ring box Shupple.” The fireworks went off, it was a spectacular show to say the least.

“OH GOODNESS!! YOU PROPOSED TO HOOM???” Her voice was excited. “She said yes right? Of course she said yes? I am so happy for you Lux!!!”

“Yes she said yes.” I told her not turning around.

“Hoom is so lucky to hav-“ She opened the box and sat their in silence for a few seconds. I heard her sigh. “Lu-Lux, why is the ring still in here? You said she said yes? Where is Hoom?” I could feel she was nervous about my answer but honesty was all she probably wanted so I guess it would only be proper to tell her the truth though I am not sure she would believe it.

I turned to her and gave her an emotionless face. I think this was the first time she saw me without a smile or even showing emotion for that matter. Her look told me she was scared to hear the answer. “I am not lying, she did say yes, however, it was short lived by her breaking up with me and leaving my side for good.”

I then went on to tell her what happened and Shupple from time to time would shake her head and disagree but she knew it was the truth. Even for Shupple, I think it was hard holding back her own tears, I mean she just finished a fight with Shift and now this being brought on her, it was probably too much for her to bare. She lost her family because of Shift and now some good friends had left without saying and goodbye and to top it off here I was practically in depression in front of her which wasn’t making matters any better.

“So that’s the story, so don’t burden yourself with it.” I assured her, though I knew better she was hurt as well.

“Lux….I don’t know what to say?”

“You don’t have to say anything, it was stupid I even did that. Humph, so childish to propose.”

“I-its not!” She stood up shaking. “You poured your heart out. That’s strong enough to show that you really loved her. She knows that and so do I. If that makes you a child then so be it! I think it takes a real man to even get down on one knee and deal with the pain you are dealing with.”

“I don’t care anymore, besides you don’t know what I am feeling.” I muttered.

SLAP!

“Don’t you dare say you don’t care! You think I don’t understand? Of course I do, I went through the same thing with Mear, and you really don’t know much about that.” Shupple grabbed my jacket collar. “I know more then you think Lux.” Her tears were rolling down her face as I only stared at her.

“How long were you and Mear together? A few months right? I know damn well you have felt some of my current pain but not all of it so don’t say you understand. I have been with Hoom for over 2 ½ years! When you make the ultimate move to take a leap forward in your life and get shot down, then tell me how you feel Shupple!” I grabbed her hands and pushed her onto the bench. I grabbed her hair and began to pull it as I showed my fangs. The marks were taking over as the appeared on me appearing down my arms and across my face. I was losing control.“ You DON’T know how much I am dying on the inside! I would never hope that you go through this pain Shupple, NEVER! It’s unbearable!”

My rage was in full throttle, of course holding back some of my anger was unless now but going back was even harder, and she had fear in her eyes. What was I suppose to do now?

“Y-you better off without her Lux!” She screamed.

Again silence as I let her go and stood back up. “You know that’s not true Shupple….don’t lie to me…Sometimes you have to let the things you love the most go, I wish nothing bad of Hoom. I just hope she is happy, that all that matters. Her happiness is what I truly wanted.”

“Lux?”

“Tsk, what a pain, if it weren’t Estelle giving me this scar, now Hoom.” I lifted my claws to my face and held my forehead as I shook. “God why do I let the people I love scar me so much.”

“W-what are you doing Lux?”

I dug my nail into my scar on my eye and let the blood run down my face. I wanted no part in this anymore, no scar from Estelle, no scar from Hoom, at least, no visible scar. I could deal with looking at this knowing I gave it to myself.

“Ahh you idiot!” She tried to reach out to help stop the bleeding but I took a step back.

“Just leave me alone, right now my emotions are off the wall and I can’t control myself in this state of mind. Just go away.” I growled at her holding my marked up arm.

“I won’t-“ But she was grabbed on the shoulder by Arc.

His eyes were just as pathetic as mine as I stood there. The fireworks were still going on.

He let out a breath of air, “Come on Shupple let’s go watch the fireworks somewhere else.”

“But Arc!” She insisted as he wrapped his arm around her.

“He needs his space so let him be.” Arc told her and she only followed his command. As they both walked off he looked over his shoulder, “I sincerely do mean this Lux, I’m sorry for your lose.”

I spat on the ground and turned my back to them. Tsk. Who gives a damn? My lose? No. It was Hoom’s lose….

Who am I kidding? My heart is broken.

-An hour later-

“Hic…h-how..many…was that now? Sixteen? Burp.” Obviously I was drunk. The fireworks had ended and people were leaving. I only sat at my bench with the stupid jewelry box tucked back into my pocket. “HERES TO YOU HOOM!!!” I cheered lifting a bottle to the sky and taking another fucking fantastic gulp.

The crisp alcohol was delicious and was perfect to cover up some of the pain, but after so much time I couldn’t help let my own tears fall. Lucky for me, it was raining and no one can tell you are crying when it rains. The cold water running down my face from the sky, it was the only connection between the sky and the earth. Was the sky crying for me? Maybe, but it least it covered my tears.

Then it stopped. I blinked to see an umbrella overhead two figures nearby.

“Nya! Onii-san?” A young boy questioned. “You okay?”

“HUH?!? Who the hell are you?” I waved a hand at him and the girl with him, too drunk to figure out it was Raine. “I don’t have a brother!”

“O-o-oh Nyarth, h-he’s been drinking. Umm Lux it’s m-me Raine.” The cute one told me.

“Raine? OH HOW IRONIC!!! It’s raining and your name is Raine! Hic! Hahahaha!” I laughed. “Damn is this your doing girl….i-if soooooooooo, hic, good work!” Giving her a big thumbs up and a stupid grin.

I over heard them say something I couldn’t make it out, maybe it was the girl trying to explain my behavior and why I was so different. The brat was annoying anyhow so I didn’t care.

“Are you okay Nya?” The Meowth asked as he placed his hand on my knee.

“GET OFF ME!” I kicked him and got up. The little Meowth rolled in a ball a few feet away. Funny and entertaining. The girl really quickly ran over to him. “Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!”

“N-Nyarth! You okay?” She shook him and he nodded sitting up. “I-I am glad.”

I just drank from the bottle and pointed it at the sky. “OOOOOOOOHHHH so touching!!!” I clapped my hands mocking them, “Well since I don’t really remember or know you, I will be going…hic….I’m singing in the rain! I’m singing in the rain!”

I jumped and clicked my heels together but to my dismay I fell face forward into the pavement. I laid motionless, god did I wish I were dead.

“Lux-kun!”

“Just go away!” I cried gripping the ground in front of me, damn the bottle was broken in front of me. That was waste.

I laid on my side to look up at her, her eyes were so soft and yet so scared at the same time. “Lux, it’s me Raine…wh-what happened to you? Y-you’re eye…it’s bleeding.” I felt her hand gently grace my face and an instant I felt a psychic power. She quickly pulled back her hand in fear.

“Raine-chan? What’s wrong? You look like you seen a ghost nya!” Nyarth asked a bit confused as he brought over the umbrella and held it over Raine and my head.

I blinked and I turned my attention to her, why was she crying as she leaned over me? Why was she shedding tears for me? Here I was a mess, to say the least, drunk, devastated, broken hearted, and pretty much a wreck lying on the ground in a puddle of water and dirt as the sky continue to pour and this chick was crying for me possibly? Was it because-

“You saw it didn’t you?” I asked her struggling to sit up.

“I-I am so sorry. I didn’t mean too. I….I…..I….Oh Lux…..” An embrace followed this from this odd woman. “I’m sooooo sorry.”

“Nani? Nya? Lux stop stealing my hugs from her nya!!!” Nyarth moaned trying to act tough or something of the sort.

I am not even sure what got into me but I lifted my hands up and held her close….it….it felt like mom…..I admit I sobbed a bit in her arms as I buried my face into her shoulder. “Raine…I….I want to go home….” Everything went black.

“L-lux? Nyarth go get help! PLEASE!”

“On it nya!”

Those were the last words I heard in the distance as everything faded. I am not sure what happened to me next but just recollections what happened earlier that day kept replaying in my head. Hoom was officially gone and she was with Gil and the others. This by far was the worse day of my life.

“His scar is pretty fresh on his face, do you know how he got that?” It was a male’s voice. One I never heard before.

I was coming too a little as my eyes slowly opened. “Umm h-he’s always had it ever since I met him, though its possible he got into another fight.” I think it was Raine.

I was being carried, the scent was unfamiliar. As I slowly came too I saw a female with blue hair, she looked like a Dragonair. “I’m just glad that cute cat came and got us in time and the storm has subsided for the time being.”

“Nya! Go on!”

“Yeah but you aren’t the one carrying him…”

My god my head hurt.”W-where am I?” I finally muttered lifting my head up. The man carrying me was kind creepy looking and I quickly got off as we stood in front of the mansion. “WHOA I’m gonna throw up!” I ran to the bushes and did the nasty deed.

“Will he be alright Raine?” The Dragonair asked probably frowning from the noises of me vomiting.

“O-oh um yes he’s just not having a good day is all Damaris.” The Ralts girl assured her.

I walked back over a bit flustered, I guess I was feeling the hangover. I almost fell over again as the guy caught me from before. “Hey there let me help ya, the name’s Delin.”

“And you are?” I asked, he briefly explained what he was and where he came from, though to be honest, it went in one ear and out the other. “Ha well thanks for the lift…” I pushed his arm off and walked on.”

“He’s a lively one ain’t he.” Said a female Mawile.

I turned to her, “Shit another ugly tomboy.” My drunken state of mind was still in effect.

“WHAT THE HELL?! UGLY YOU GET YOUR ASS BACK YOU KITTY CAT!!! I WILL KICK YOUR DRUNK ASS RIGHT HERE AND NOW!!!” The Mawile roared as she was held back by the male strange looking guy who carried me.

“Great another Lupe,” I rolled my eyes and walked by everyone.

“Sorry about that, Lux is just not himself-nya.” Nyarth told the girl who was too tense.

“LET GO OF ME DELIN!” The Mawile demanded. “LET ME AT’EM LET ME AT’EM!!!”

“Ahh no can do since the guy is well drunk and all Maura.” Delin said as he held her down in his arms.

“Just wait a second Lux.” It was Raine so I stopped and looked at her with a deadpan.

“What is it?”

“Are you feeling better? I mean I know it still hurts b-but will you-“

“Raine I don’t want your pity.” I told her. “I appreciate you coming here but my head hurts really bad and I feel sick so if you don’t mind, I am going right to bed.” I began walking up the steps.

“He’s a bit rude.” The Dragonair named Damaris stated.

“Ahh?” I stopped and leaned over the railing. “You call this rude? Yeah probably is, but if you experienced what I went through, could you blame me? Actually I don’t really care honestly who any of you are you see, you will be in love and then one day you will just leave like all the ones before you. Here’s the thing,” I pointed at each an everyone of them starting with Delin, “I don’t care what your names are, stubby, Boobs McGee, and Tomboy. So why should I get to know you when eventually you will be gone? Tell me? Why? It’s not as painful for people you don’t know exit your life so its better that I don’t know you. Later!”

I will probably eat those words later and regret them. Once I got to my room I heard footsteps quickly approaching. I saw from the corner of my eye Nyarth running to me. “Onii-chan stop!!”

“Why?”

“Because everyone is worried about you nya!” He grabbed my hand but I pulled back.

“I don’t care, I don’t even know them and-“

“Raine told us.” Nyarth sternly replied. I looked at him in disbelief. “S-she told us what she saw in your mind-nya. So….so….we all understand. No one is mad at you.”

“Geez so my business is everyone’s business now? Tsk what a pain in the ass.” I shook my head and entered my room. “Whatever I am going to bed now.”

“But Lux!”

I glared, “GO AWAY!”

SLAM!

He pounded his weak paws against the door, “Onii-chan! Please! Onii-chan! Maybe…maybe Estelle can help you…”

No that would make it worse. I kept quiet.

I leaned against the door and heard his whimpers but those departed from the front of my door. I hated doing that to him, made me sick but I just I didn’t want to be around anyone anymore, so I locked the door. This was followed by throwing all my clothes on the ground, placing my glasses on the night stand, taking a quick shower, getting half dressed and crawling underneath the covers.

I laid there in bed with my arm on my forehead looking up at the ceiling. I only watched as the ceiling fan slowly rotated to keep a cool breeze down upon my bare chest. It was maybe midnight or one in the morning, I couldn’t really tell since my head was hurting so much and I felt disgusting. It really didn’t matter, all I wanted was this day to end. So much had happened in the last 24 hours it was like a movie. I guess I didn’t see it coming. Oh well. I pulled the covers over my shoulders and laid on my side, as my eyes grew heavy as I slowly went off to sleep.

-END-

There you have it. The end of the post. To be honest this was 9 pages so my entire post was 16 pages long!!! Longer then expected so Lux is pretty much good till November now! I wanted to add some others to the post so I hope I got them right for the most part. Sorry about him being rude but I had to think of how a guy must feel like when be broken up with and trying to write like you are drunk, well, NOT EASY!

Anyway, it’s official, Hoom and Lux are no more. I have cried my tears so yeah I have a single Luxray. Sorry but this was the best I could do so comments would be lovely.

End
