Serena POV

I cried for such a long time after I got in my room. I loved him so much and I have this unimaginable hurt inside of me that won't go away. I just feel so broken. I squeeze the pillow I'm crying into harder and harder. My hands are starting to hurt and at this rate they're gonna bruise but I don't care.

Ash admitted he loved a girl today so casually and with such ease it broke my heart. He sounded like he loved her and not only that but he recognized his feelings and told her, just like that. The girl accepted and they started dating. It's not even like its a small thing, the girl he liked was his best friend for years. How could I compete with a girl who has held this high position in his heart. He also said she was his first friend. I thought I had that against her but I forgot something important to do with that. I considered Ash my first friend but Ash forgot about me and always thought he had no friends until she came.

"Serena?" A voice says right before gasping as he looks at my crying form. It's Clemont.

I don't want him to see me like this. I'm such an idiot for crying so hard over this. He probably thinks I'm overreacting.

To my suprise he just gets next to me and wraps his arms around me. I turn around and cry into his chest while he holds me tight.

"It-It hurts so much." I sniffle out after my crying decreases.

Clemont doesn't say anything but he holds me even tighter until I stop crying all together and just take deep breaths to calm myself.

"Serena I know it's hard and I can understand what your going though. The girl I love happens to love someone else and everyday I have to pretend to be ok with it." He whispers close to my ear.

"When will the pain go away?" I asked, my heart cracking more with every word.

"All the pain lessens day by day. Eventually you'll find a guy that loves you much more then you'll ever know."

After he said those words all my sadness started to form some sort of hope. I was still tremendously sad but I now had a little optimism for the future. Before I know it, a little hopeful smile makes its way up my face. "Thanks Clemont." I whisper just loud enough for him to hear before falling into a slumber.

"And just maybe you'll find your way to me Serena, I really hope you do."
