Chapter 1- Listen to Your Heart
Walking while holding each other's hand.
We couldn't do even such simple thing.
We can't go back to those times.
And it would be over just like that.
Dreaming of the past, that's what this heartbroken young lady has been doing for this past year. It seems that the shock from the incident happened is still fresh in her mind, and heart, she can't even talk normally or walk straight.
"I love you Lucy. Even after this I'll still love you. You don't need to force yourself onto me, you can be away from me, but please be away where I can still see you. You knew I can't hurt you, I can't kill you like I always say."
"What? Natsu you were thinking that way? You think that I know that you can't kill me? You really are a stupid shit! Do you know that I left you because I was afraid you can really kill me, and, the pain Natsu, inside my heart. I don't even know why or how you turned like some yandere but Natsu, I love you too. You don't need to say anything. I love you. And I came back not because I was forced or something." she smiled in her crying face, "I came back because I'm missing you, and that I still love you. I don't care if you say you'll kill me all over everyday every time, I just, love you like nothing." she kissed his forehead and continued crying.
"Lucy..." Natsu started crying too, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like this. "Please let us get back like in the past... I will be careful in what I say, I will..."
Standing up slowly, she turned her head to the window placed on the upper left side of her big spacious bedroom and sat on an automatic wheelchair just beside her bed. She sighed, blowing her bangs aside her gloomy face.
Lucy Heartfilia, 19 years old. Currently living with her parents in a silent, sad place she doesn't know, there's no reason to find out where. Her head is blank as her visage, rivaling the dull space under the silvery moon outside her confinement. She became claustrophobic. She became benignly insane. She's too scared to do anything, thinking that whatever she does may cause someone to get killed, like what she did to him… she forgot his name, of all people. Even though she always dreams of calling his name every other time, it's like her brain's programmed to forget it every time.
I wished that the path home we walk together
would never end, and continues.
Just like that lone blue blooming flower on the roadside.
Remembering the times when they had always walked back home, telling each other's corny jokes… made her tears fall involuntarily. Staring blankly at her sight, she sighed once again.
Your figure is reflected
on the border of the vanishing point.
Just like the warm light
shining to my dark room trough the window.
Tonight, in awareness that she'd turned into a heartbroken loner, she waits for her free imagination to work once again; to see his blurred figure cover the light of the moon…
"You…" she called out almost in a whisper, at the same time wondering if he heard her. "You… not dead?" she forced herself to sound like herself in the past… as what she sees herself in her dreams.
The figure shook its head, she could feel that's he's smiling.
"How many times… I've told you," the figure took a single step forward; she could recognize the color of his hair. Pink, she thought, tilting her head a little.
"… that I'm not dead?"
Even long after you forgot,
even if you left everything behind.
I will always love you, so I won't forget.
For now, it is just a farewell.
The piercing feeling of the afternoon sun hitting her skin woke her up. She wonders if he's not dead, like he always assures her. Maybe not. It's just her imagination working after all. When will she forget all of the happy memories that make her suffer? Should she just bump her head somewhere? If it's her psychologist talking about how she'd forget everything, the thing on how she could, is to say farewell. But she just can't. Her heart says don't give up, just get back to your reality. Thinking about her own opinion, hadn't she been in the reality all the time? Or not?
The night fell again. Wishing that her imagination would work again, she waited beside her window. And with that waiting, he appeared again, in a blurry figure, sadly.
"How are you?" he asked her with a goofy voice, making her feel nostalgia. She smiled, for the first time in months.
Closer, closer, even closer
Come to me and open my heart
Tightly hold my hand and follow me
To the paradise of love that is close enough to touch
What a realistic production of imagination. It seems like in her dreams, where she's able to talk with him comfortably about anything, only that he's the only one talking now. Her eyes started to glow, but still, her heart filled with an unknown feeling of loss, it's just her imagination working after all, again.
Every night, her mind worked on the imagination. Every night, his figure would become clearer and clearer, and he would come closer and closer…
One night, an unexpected reality happened. She saw some guards came running from afar while having, should she say, a conversation, with the pink-haired boy of her dreams and imagination.
He was quite startled when the guards started yelling, he cursed and ran away after biding her a good night.
"Did he hurt you Heartfilia-sama?" one of the guards worriedly asked her outside the window where she's always listening to him. She shook her head as she dumbfoundedly wondered why these guards were chasing him… then it came to her, she grimaced. She finally got to her reality.
As her heart said,don't give up, just get back to your reality.
Like the sunlight outside the window
Like the stars in the dark night time
From the start, you were right here
