The Love I Have For You
Chapter 1: When It Rains, It Pours
She must be dreaming, right? That's the only thing she could think of now. She couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. Heck, she doesn't even want to see it.
A couple hugging while kissing intimately. The man had his one hand on the back of the girl and another on the back of her head. The girl had her arms around the neck of the guy.
This is not true. She said in her mind as her tears drop from her face. She didn't even realized she was crying.
Yeah, that's right. It's only a dream. A dream and I will wake up sooner or later then it's all gone. She convinced herself.
"I love you, Natsu."
No Natsu. No. Please.
But when the words she doesn't want to hear slipped out of the guy's lips, she knew her world is falling.
"I love you too, Lisanna..."
How could he do this to me?
She hicked at the wrong time. The couple faced her, shocked that she was there, seeing them confess to each other.
"Lucy?" The guy asked with a shocked voice.
"I-I -" she didn't want to hear him anymore.
"Lucy..." This time it's her friends voice.
"I'm sorry. I just-" her voice failed her.
She took a step backward. The guy raised his hand and opened his mouth to say something but he can't.
After all, he was caught two-timing by his girlfriend.
She took a step again, and again, until she was running. Running from her worst nightmare.
She ran and ran. She didn't know where she is going. She ran until all of her energy is drained from her body. Her knees buckle under the extreme pain from running for hours.
She dropped from exhaustion and lied on the hard ground. The black clouds hovered the sky and rain drops can be felt on her face. The rain began to pour over her body but she just lied there, feeling numb all over her body.
"Juvia can be a little mean sometimes. Why of all days?" She tried to joke but it was all useless.
Tears are still flowing out silently from her face. She can't stop crying.
She thought she was strong enough to face this if ever it happen.
And it happen.
The boy of her life, falling for someone else.
The boy she though she would be with forever, in the arms of her friend.
And the boy she gave all her love, now breaking her by loving another one.
Life sucks. She thought.
"Hey. Are you ok?" A man's voice could be heard.
She couldn't speak. She could just see a silhouette of a man just a few steps away from her. He was holding an umbrella.
"Hey. Are you- Lucy?!" The man exclaimed.
The man rushed over her, throwing his umbrella and raised her body.
Who needs an umbrella. He's an ice mage for god's sake.
Leaning her to his chest, he started to shake her gently.
"Lucy, what happened? Why you're on the ground? Are you hurt? Who damn fuck did this to you?" He asked, too many questions in his mind and anger can be heard in his voice.
She can now see the man's face. It was one of her closest friend, even bestfriend.
"G-gray..." She whispered. Her voice dull and have no life.
"Lucy! Please tell me what happened!" He said. His voice laced with concern.
"N-n-nat-su..." She whispered while tear started again to flow out of her eyes.
"Natsu? What happened?" He asked.
"He ... Lis-sanna ..." She sobbed and cried on to his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly.
He could see this coming.
It started when Natsu and Lisanna came back from a mission together. Lucy can't be seen since she was with Erza on a mission(the demon dragged Lucy actually). He raised his eyebrows when he saw them smiling and giggling(in Lisanna's case) and skinship can be seen. It really disturbed him. He thought that they were just reliving the past when they were kids. And when Lucy came back, Natsu didn't even kiss his girlfriend(he knows. Lucy didn't call him bestfriend for nothing, much to his dismay). They didn't even date(he really knows). Now that Salamander have really done it.
Damn fire breathing bastard.
If it wasn't for the girl he loved, he would have broken all the bastard's bone and freeze his whole body for eternity so that he couldn't lay one finger on his love.
But he knows she would be sad if ever that happened.
If only you've seen me first, then you're not crying like this...
He was still hugging her until he felt the body he was hugging became limp. He panicked and checked if she fainted but when she seem to be sleeping, he sighed in relief.
He saw her closed eyes, while breathing hoarsely. The frown on her face, it looked like she was in pain even in her sleep.
The world where she was safe and sound, now haunted by a dragon worse than the Acnologia, the dragon who broke her heart.
He carried her like a bride and went to her house. He knew he would be trespassing again her house but with grave matters in his hand(or arms he thought), he didn't care anymore.
All he wish is that his loved one will smile again.
Lucy!
Huh? She looked around. There were green everywhere. Tall trees, lovely wild flowers, green grass and the vast blue sky. It's all picture perfect scene.
Then she saw him.
He really looks good. She thought.
The sun is shining down on him. His salmon colored hair that sways gently with the wind. His white scarf, a signature accessory of his. And his big smile, all for her.
He was the reason she had a life now, a guild she called home. He introduced the wonders of having friends who will stand up for her no matter how grave the situation is.
An example of that is when she was captured by Phantom Lord who was paid by her father. She didn't realize how strong the bond of each wizard of Fairy Tail and how much they were willing to sacrifce their lives for their nakama.
Then after all of the things that happen, through good or bad times, he was always with her. She can depend on him, being an idiot but true friend.
There were times that Natsu made her feel special. That's why she fell in love with him(although she tried to deny it) and when he confessed to her, how happy she was. Her heart was full of happiness and love. The hugs and kisses that they've shared is enough to send her flying to heaven.
It's all because of Natsu.
She smiled and ran toward him but she stopped on her tracks. A silver haired girl came by and held her loved one's hand. She was smiling at her.
Then he said something that would break her heart even more.
We are getting married.
The world spinned.
You must be kidding me, right? She thought.
She reached her hand toward to the couple but they were gone.
She's all alone.
Alone.
She opened her eyes, wide with fear. She gasped for air, as if she can't get enough oxygen in her lungs. She could feel sweat on her forehead as she sat up. She looked around the room, she was in her room.
The rain didn't stop. It got heavier and more grey. The coldness that surrounds her is enough to break her bones. She covered herself with her comforter more. Then she looked at the man who was sitting or sleeping on her sofa.
Gray...
He didn't wear clothes again... He will catch cold if he always wear nothing.
She smiled, a tired broken smile.
Then memories rushed in her mind, painfully reminding her of what happen
Natsu with Lisanna.
Tsk. What a joke this life have brought her.
She didn't realize tears dropping from her eyes. She covered her mouth to supress her sobs, not wanting to wake up the man in her room but she failed.
He woken up to the sound of someone crying. He looked at the bed and saw her. She was covering her mouth while looking at him. He rushed over and carefully hugged her.
He didn't mind the tears in his chest. He didn't care if she was crying because of someone else.
All he wanted to do is to heal her broken heart.
And that's what he is going to do.
They sat together on her bed, leaning on the headboard. She was leaning her head on Gray's shoulder. His head on top of her head. They were holding hands, the girl squeezing his' tightly as if she needed energy.
She needed energy to go on with life.
The rain started to lighten up.
