"Still, be careful."
Steven takes a deep breath. It's time to go.

Matt throws something on your bed, almost hitting Kirlia's head. You glare at him.
"This just came for you" He says before leaving. You sigh. He never showed you much love or treated you like a human being, but it seems to have gotten worse since that message from your mom.
You grab the box. Kirlia stops you before you can open it, trying to sense something dangerous you should look out for. She nods her head in approval.
Inside, you find a piece of paper and your favourite candy. You open the letter while Kirlia inspects the candy, to make sure it's okay to eat. As you saw the content of the letter, you gasped.
It was written in a language you and your dad developed when you were little. It came with a guide inside, just in case you forgot something. When you translated, the letter said:
Darling, help is coming. We know it is. But you'll have to go through dark times before the light comes. All we ask is that you fight with all your soul. Don't let them win. You are strong enough to fight them. We're fighting for you, too. And when this is all over, we promise things will go back to the way they were. You just have to hang in there for a little longer, but we promise the wait is worth it.
Love, Mom and Dad.
Your eyes were filled with tears and your body was shaking with fear. You felt dizzy with so much information, it was too much for you to process.
All that you absorbed, is that help is coming. And that's all that mattered to you at the moment.
• Extra Scene •
May threw her phone on her bed.
Stop ignoring me.
She wanted her thoughts to be heard by Steven. After dealing with his mess at the hospital, she wanted to grab him by the collar and yell at him until he cries. Instead, she's sitting on her bed in hopes he'll pick up the phone.
He will eventually, she was just worried it would be too late.
Max climbs up the stairs with a confused look on his face.
"Mom said there is someone at the door for you" He states as he enters the room.
"Is it Brendan? I'm not in the mood right now" May slurs out.
"No, I think it's that guy you got into a fight with."
May's eyes almost popped out of her skull. She didn't even answer, she just flew out of her room.
"I got it! Thanks, mom" She smiles at the woman, who goes back to work.
May closes the door behind her. Steven is standing by a tree close to route 101. She slowly walks up to him.
"I thought you would be gone by now..." She begins.
"Me too. But I ended up here, somehow" Steven shrugs. "Guess I couldn't leave you here without having you sure that I'll be okay."
"Your words don't make me feel more at ease."
"I'm trying, okay? Give me a break" Steven says softly. His rude words still affected May.
"I can't. You're walking into danger, if not your death! Don't do it, Steven, please."
"Sorry."
Steven approaches the small one. She engulfs him in a tight hug. It might be the last time she got to hug him.
"Be careful, yeah?"
He nods. There's no words to reassure her, so he didn't bother saying anything.
"Don't disappear. Text me, or give me a sign to let me know you're okay."
"I will, May, don't worry. If you ever wonder how I'm doing, just know I'm fine. I know how to take care of myself, thanks to my dad. And Wallace is nearby, you can always go to him when you need something."
May smirks.
"It's not like you take care of me or anything."
Steven pats May's back.
"It's not you without a smart comeback" He mocks with a smirk. "I need to go, now. (Y/F/N) is waiting for me, we're going together."
"Alright. Just... take care, okay?"
Steven nods. He kisses May's forehead before leaving.
Her heart sheds into a million pieces as she watches Steven head towards route 101. All she can do is to hope he and (Y/F/N) will be okay.
