AN: This takes place after The finals after Sarah loses to Tobias. This does have Ritchie x Female OC. I don't own Castle of glass by Linkin Park. Sarah is feeling pretty down about her so close League win. She feels like a failure and a disgrace to her family. What will Ritchie do? And no he is not doing what you think you all are twisted lol.
Sarah's Pov.
So I was sitting in my room sulking yep that's what I am going to know for the whole day yeah!
Anyways I heard someone knocking and I got up and walked to the door and opened it and I saw Ritchie standing there.
He asks, Sarah want to go for a walk?
I looked at him and sighed and said no. I don't really want people seeing you with the trainer. Who can't even win a league even though I have parents who are strong trainers.
Ritchie looked at me and said You're not a weak trainer, no one is!
I said to him, Ritchie , I am a disgrace! My parents are powerful trainers! What about me!
Ritchie looked at me and took a deep breath and said sorry.
I tilted my head and asked sorry for wha? Until SMACK! Ritchie slapped me. I was shocked and I looked at him as memories of my past started coming back.
I felt the spot where he slapped and I kept looking at him.
Ritchie says This isn't you! We all lose! That's fine! You don't have to get all sulky because you lost in the finals!
I growled and said angrily Shut Up! You don't understand! Now everyone thinks I am weak! I growled some more and turned away and started clenching my fists.
I tried not to cry not in front of him. I couldn't. I started breaking down. Did I care what he thought of me? No. I just needed to cry and I growled and started shaking with anger.
He took a deep breath again and asked I am pretty sure your parents lost leagues as well.
I walked away from him and growled and said no, I see the trophies.
Ritchie was shocked and joked I guess it skipped a generation.
I sighed and said probably everything skips a generation for me. Everyone just forgets me. Now that my younger brothers are born. I know they need my parents, But still I need some love or something, I just need a hug or something, anything. My heart has been broken so many times. I am just a crack in a castle of glass.
Ritchie says no you're not! Not to me!
I looked at him and asked what do you mean?
Ritchie says I have seen you grow into a powerful trainer with equally powerful Pokemon! I see you grow into a beautiful strong trainer!
I blushed and Ritchie blushed as well and I took a deep breath and started singing.
Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again
Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
Bring me home in a blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything else I need to be
'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
For you to see.
I looked back and sat down on the bed and Ritchie did too and we both looked at each other and smiled.
Ritchie was looking forward and said you know. That was the best battle I have seen yet. I am impressed.
I looked at him and blushed and said R really? Oh god why am I like this now! Why do I have to have a crush on him gah!
I thought to myself.
Ritchie says Yeah, why are you stuttering?
I blushed again and said Wh what are you ttttalking a about?
Ritchie says Your doing it again.
I said W well I am not used to people saying that you know.
Ritchie looked at me and said you deserve it really.
I looked at him and said I really don't. I don't deserve anything.
He looked at me and said You deserve a lot of things. Some stuff you didn't get. But I know what you deserve.
I asked what?
Ritchie says a league win.
I looked at him
Ritchie says really, You deserve a lot. Love, happiness, and other stuff.
I sighed and said I didn't get those things at all in my childhood. All I got was ignorance. I never really got much happiness except meeting Charizard's trainers all around the world.
Ritchie nodded and said it's time for the ending ceremony, wanna go watch with me?
I nodded and we both ran off.
