(Natsu's POV)

Time of train arrival: 9:58 PM

I arrived at the train station a two minutes before the train showed up. I needed to make sure I caught this train, since it was the last one of the night. My shoulder became sore from having my bag rest on it for so long so I switched it to the other one. In the distance I could see lights coming up the tracks, the train was right on time.

I quickly boarded the train the minute it came to a stop. I chose the second car of the train. I wanted to get a seat by myself, I really didn't have any interest in sitting with anyone. I guess I wasn't the only one with that idea because when I stepped on it was already packed. I sighed and started to walk down the aisle, looking for any open seats. I spotted one next to a woman. "Excuse me is it ok if I sit there?" I asked politely. She looked at me then shook her head. "My friend is getting on at this stop, sorry." She responded. "It's fine." I continued down the aisle and entered into the next train car. I walked a little ways in until I spotted a seat. There was a boy who looked like he was around my age of eighteen.

"Excuse me." I said. He didn't respond. I noticed he had headphones so I tapped him on the shoulder. He looked at me and removed one of the earbuds. "Mind if I sit?" He shook his head. "Go ahead." I stared at him for a second. He had a really cute face. His eyes were hypnotizing and his lips looked so soft. I wonder what it would be like to kiss him. Wow, listen to me fantasize about kissing a stranger. "Are you gonna sit or just stand there?" He asked. I came out of my daydream and sat down mumbling a sorry. I finally removed my bag from my shoulder, giving it a break. The boy had already put his earbud back in, tuning out the world I suppose.

I pulled out my phone and selected the app Trivia Crack. Lucy was currently beating me, which wasn't a surprise. Practically everyone I was playing against were beating me. Sure I hated being beat by others, but the game was so addicting I couldn't help but to keep playing it. I landed on Entertainment. The question was about The Legend of Zelda. I chuckled to myself. Well there's no way I'm going to get this one wrong. And as predicted I got it right. I spun the wheel again and landed on Geography. "Damn it." I mumbled. I stared at the screen. I wanted to get this one right, but I had no idea what the answer was. "Germany." I perked up at the sound of a voice. I looked at the boy next to me. "Huh?" I questioned. "The answer is Germany." He said. My eyes widened in surprise and I quickly selected Germany as the answer. It was correct. I got the next one wrong so it was Lucy's turn again.

I turned to the boy sitting next to me. "You know it's rude to look at another person's phone." I said. His eyes shifted over to me. "Sorry, just thought you might need some help on that question." He said. That made me feel a little guilty. "Thanks for helping me, though." He mumbled something which I believed was either 'whatever' or 'You're welcome'. "What's your name?" I asked trying to be polite. "Gray." He answered and looked out the window. "Cool." I said. After a moment of silence he turned back to me. "Whats your name?" He asked. "Natsu."

"That's a cool name, I guess."

There was another awkward silence. Gray pulled out his phone. "What's your user on Trivia Crack?" He asked. "It's Salamander." I answered. "I don't have any lives left but I'll add you as a friend for now and start a game later." I nodded in response. "Ok."

The conductor came on the speaker. "Next stop, Magnolia."

I had lost track of time, had it already been a half hour? I glanced at my watch, it read ten-thirty. Gray stood up. "Well it was nice to meet you Natsu but this is my stop." He said and stuck his hand out to shake. I grabbed it and we shook hands. "This is actually my stop too." I said, "Do you live in Magnolia?" He nodded. "Yeah, you?" I nodded as well. "Yup, that's weird that I've never seen you around before." I mentally screamed, this guy lives in my town. He's so hot, how could I have never seen him before?

"Yeah, I've never seen you around either. We should hang out some time." He said. I nodded in agreement. I handed him my phone. "Here you put your number in my phone and I'll put mine in yours." Gray handed me his phone. I quickly found his contacts and added my number. Once I finished I noticed Gray was holding my phone back out to me. Score! I stood up and we both swapped phones. "There all set." I said.

I stumbled a little and fell forward. Thankfully Gray caught me. I was almost one hundred percent positive that my face was as red as a tomato. "Thanks."

"No problem."

I went to move away when I realized Gray's arms were still wrapped me. His arms were freezing! Honestly how could someone be this cold and not even be shivering?! I looked up at his face. "Uh, Gray?"

"Yeah?"

"You can let go now."

Gray panicked and quickly let go. "Sorry." He said, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. I swore I saw him blush. "It's fine." I reassured him with a smile.

The train's whistle blew which signaled we were coming up on a crossing. I glanced out the window. I saw a huge truck heading straight for the tracks and it wasn't slowing down. "Don't tell me..."

"What?" Gray asked hearing the concern in my voice. He looked out the window and all the color drained from his face. "Shit." I heard him curse. "Get down!" He shouted and grabbed my waist pulling me down with him.

The next thing I knew the truck impacted with the train, causing it to derail. The terrifying and painful screams of others filled my head, as did my own and even Gray's.

Time of crash 10:33 pm

When I came to, I noticed the window Gray and I had been looking out had shattered. The glass was spread out on the ground, proving that if Gray hadn't grabbed me, I'd be dead. I also noticed I was on the ground, leaning against the seats I had previously been sitting in. Moving slightly I realized there was a weight on my shoulder. I turned my neck and saw Gray's head resting there. I was practically sitting in his lap! I looked at Gray's face to see if he was showing any signs of life. His eyes were closed and he had blood dripping down his face. I couldn't tell if he was breathing. I started to panic. "Gray?" I said quietly. I didn't get a response. I tried again, except a little louder this time.

"Gray?!"

"Don't move a muscle." He responded. Relief flooded through my body. "Oh thank Mavis, I thought you were dead."

"We might be soon, if we don't get help."

"Why?" I asked, "We aren't that badly injured, just a few cuts and maybe some broken bones." He laughed slightly but I didn't see the reason to be laughing at a time like this. "I'm surprised you haven't noticed yet." His voice was calm. "What could I have not noticed? I'm sure if I was badly injured I would have felt an extreme amount of pain." I said annoyed. Gray repositioned his head slightly on my shoulder. I could feel his hot breath on my neck. "You're in shock, so it's not a surprise you don't feel it." He took in breath, hissing in pain.

"There's a pole piercing through both of our abdomens."

I'll be posting the second part soon! Hopefully if I'm not too busy it will be posted on Friday.
