I actually was not planning to do anything today, but I listened to a song and got lost in dreaming! I don't know why but I get inspired by what I listen too. . . . enough about me, lets get started on the story!
Summary: Lucy was accused of being a demon for killing her mom, ever since she woke up in her mother's dead arms. Barely anybody talked to her, they all feared her. She was a lonely, limpid, detached 17 year old that never gave much bothers to life anymore. Not until she met Natsu, a popular student that never noticed her until she saved him from a horrible incident. Now, both of their lives are changed; Lucy is also saved by him! What will happen between these two?

Prologue
Lucy's POV
The moon shined brightly and the stars glowed in the dark sky. Today sure was a beautiful day, for once. The only weather that had occurred these past weeks were rain and lightening, no sun.
I was walking on the stone sidewalk besides a tiny, shallow river and the town was almost empty; the only people I noticed were the usual fishers and an old lady feeding a stray cat. I smiled at the scene and continued to late-night walk.
Everything was tranquil, no busy cars rushing through the streets or loud crowds tonight. It was only times like this where I actually felt . . . happy. Well not really, I still felt that tiny, bitter loneliness but it was less of what I'd feel when I was in school or around people who didn't give a damn about me. The only reason that was because when it's this late, it gives me a reason to be lonely. No one would be up at this time, so I know no one would talk to me; they'll all be sleeping.
Humming quietly, I closed my eyes and continued my small, slow steps.
Then all of sudden, the calm night is erupted by a nerve-racking scream and ear-deafening crash. As if by instinct, I dashed over to where to sound was let out. My heart was smashing against my chest and my legs were pushing itself. Now, the only thing I could hear was an ambulance letting out it's siren.
I had no idea why I was doing this, something just told me to rush towards the disaster.
Finally, I reached my destination and my eyes grew to the size of pans. Only a few feet of me was a horribly damage motorbike and car; seemed like those two clashed . . . obviously.
Around those two objects was an ambulance with the back doors wide open. A body laid on a white stretcher and was being pulled into the ambulance. The person in the car didn't look injured and got out of the car staggering around a bit. The ambulance sirens went up again and is ran off quickly.
Again, an urgent throb in my heart screamed: Go after it!
So I did what was told. My legs went off again, but this time faster. I ran to the hospital, which luckily wasn't far from where the incident took place. The ambulance got there first than me so all I could do was follow to where the stretcher was going. I was stopped at the front desk, "Excuse me, Miss. But please tell us what your reason for trying to pass?" a nurse asked. She looked tired so I decided not to tell her about the need to come for no reason . . .
"I am just here waiting for someone." I informed her. She nodded and just went back to the computer that flashed quickly.
Not sure whether to stay or leave; I chose to stay. Why? I still didn't understand the reason why.
I went over to an empty seat in the waiting area and sat down. Looking around, I noticed that no one was sitting or waiting besides me. How empty I feel. There's no magazines either!
20 minutes past before the uncomfortable silence is broken by two doctors rushing out of the room where the human I was waiting for.
"He doesn't have enough money for that treatment!" one doctor with a beard exclaimed to the other one. His tone made me eavesdrop . . .
"Well, doesn't he have insurance or some sort? We can't let one of our patients die." and at the word die, I abruptly stood up from my seat. The chair was pushed back against the wall and the doctors turned their heads towards me.
I walked calmly over to them, was I really going to save a person I didn't even know? I guess so.
"I want to pay for this patient's treatment." I said nonchalantly even though I was sweating. The two doctors observed me first, then they gave me small warm smiles.
"Really?!" the bearded one gasped. Without a second thought, I nodded in reply. "You sure? It's quite a lot of money." the other doctor mused, rubbing his thumb and index finger together; gesturing money.
Okay, maybe it this isn't good. The way they said it sounds like it's more than I could afford. That thought of my is a joke though.
"How much is it?" I asked, raising one delicate eyebrow. The two men looked at each other before both grinning sheepishly. "It's 5,000 dollars." they said in a union.
I was taken back, only that little?
The doctors misinterpret my shocked face because one of them said, "I know, I know - it's quite a lot."
I shake my head back and forth, "No, it's not. I'll pay for it and all the expenses for anything else that has to do with the treatment." I told them. They look at me strangely, then one ran towards the desk, asking for something. A minute later he came running back with two pieces of paper and a pen. "Please fill this out as fast as you can, then we can start with the treatment. Please do it quickly." he rushed and placed the papers and pen into my hands.
Doing as I was told, I finished the form and returned it to them. They grabbed it from my hands and ran into an office by the front desk. Two minutes later they walk back to me, "It's finish, we have taken the money and placed it into the treatment payment." the beard one informed. I just nodded in reply, "I shall leave now, good bye and tell him I wish him luck." I said and turned my back to them.
"Wait," a doctor said, making me turn around, "thank you! You're an angel!" they told me. I simply smile, "You're welcome." I replied and took that as my time to leave.
I walked out of the hospital, an smile crept on my face. I don't know what I exactly just did, but I feel elated that I did.
Now I hope that the person I just saved feels better.
Natsu's POV
My eyes opened slowly to the sunlight that bleeds in the room. What comes into my view was not what I was expecting; the walls were white, the door was pale blue, bed sheets were white . . . this room was a white sea.
What happened? Am I in the hospital? My question was answered as I see a ECG beat to my heart.
I sat up carefully but was pulled down by needles stuck into my body all over. An aching pain was released on my back so I forced myself to lay back down.
"Hello?" I called out, my voice croaked as I said so. I got no reply so I repeated myself, this time a little louder. This time the response was a petite nurse along with two doctors walking in.
"Ah, you're awake Mr. Dragneel!" a doctor with glasses said, a large grin appeared on his face. I smiled back weakly, my body and face felt sore.
The two doctors whispered to each other, then one with a beard walked over to me. "I'm Dr. Colome and congrats on being alive!" he told me very directly. I raised both of my eyebrows, what does he mean being alive? I have no memory of getting hurt. I tried to recall my memory but all I remember was hearing sirens and seeing too many covered faces.
Dr. Colome noticed my confusion as smiled grimly, "You almost died a few days back."
I almost died a couple of days ago? How - how did I get injured and how did I live?!
"How?" I asked, directing the question towards my thoughts. The quiet doctor coughed then spoke, "You were in a crash, a terrible one. Luckily for you though, someone saved your life."
Someone saved me . . . a person literally took their time or money and gave me another chance! But who is it?
"Who was the person?" I mused, eager to thank the person. Dr. Colome stares at the paper for a moment then back at me. "The female's name was Lucy Heartfilia, or so stated . . . are you planning to thank her?" he said. I nodded and sat up, the pain had diminished. Then, I remembered I had no idea how this girl looked like or if she even lived in this town.
"Does it say where she lived, or her number on the paper?" I asked. My fingers were crossed and I was hoping that it did say that on the paper. The doctor looked back at the paper, "Yes it does, but sadly we are only allowed to give her number." the quiet doctor explained.
That's good enough!
"Great, can I have her number then?" I asked. Dr. Colome moved his head over to the nurse and he muttered a few words to her. She nodded and scurried out the door. It was silent for a couple of minutes until she returned with a piece of paper and pencil. She handed it over to Dr. Colome and he scribbled something on the paper, I'm guessing it's Lucy's number.
Dr. Colome then went over to me, placing the paper on my bandaged hand. I glimpsed at the paper and then crushed it into my hand, hoping I won't lose it later.
"You understand that you cannot hand that number out unless she allows it, right?" he said. "Yes." I drawled, I just want to get out of her and call this girl already.
"Can I go now, I feel much better." I told them, stretching my hands, even with the needles still pricked into me. The nurse blushed, is it because of me or is it because it's hot on here. The two doctors analyzes me body, "Your bruises are gone, and you been here long enough to be healed. So yes, just let Nurse Amu remove those needles and all." Dr. Colome retorted, already walking towards the door.
"Also, good luck on finding her Mr. Dragneel." the quiet doctor said and followed Dr. Colome.
Once they were gone, Nurse Amu rushed over me and removed all the needles in one motion. "Wow, thanks, you're really good at this." I complimented, staring at my needle-free arms and legs. She blushed and helped my off the bed.
"Your clothes are over there." she mumbled and pointed at my clothes and shoes on the corner table. I thanked her and stripped the hospital suit, placing the number in my jacket pocket.
"Eh, I'm sorry! I'll take my leaving now!" Nurse Amu embarrassingly shouted and rushed out the room.
I shrug my shoulders and change into my regular clothes and put on my shoes. My eyes looked around the room, but it stopped at the clock that hung over the window. Today was a Sunday, and it was 10 AM, is she a sleeper? Eh, doesn't matter, me thanking her is more important than her sleep.
The moment I think I was ready to leave, I did without hesitation. I eased my way out of the hospital and took out my phone and number from my jacket.
"Okay . . . 5 . . . 5 . . 5 . . 6 . . " I continued on with her number and when I finally dialed it, the phone was picked up it a second.
"Hello?" a sweet voice greeted.
My heart skipped a beat, and I felt myself dry of words.
"Hello?" it said again.
I shook my head, tryin' to focus. "Ah, hello! My name is Natsu Dragneel and I would like to thank you for saving my life." I told her, a grin plastered on my face.
There was a long silence, was she going to hang up?
"S-Saving your life . . . wait are you the one from the crash a few days back?" she asked, I had a feeling that her eyebrows were collided together in thought; she said it with a serious tone.
I nodded, however, I remembered that she cannot hear me. "Yeah, and I wanted to thank you in person." the last words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it.
"I-In person?! Uh, I'm sorry. I don't think I could do that." she croaked.
Was something wrong? Was she crying? Was I scaring her?
"Why?" I once again let that question slip out of my mouth.
Normal POV
Lucy's mouth formed into a thin line as he asked that. She didn't want to tell him the reason. No, it wasn't because she was frightened of him, it was because she might ruin his reputation. Yes, he had one. The moment he mentioned his name, she knew who he was exactly. They went to the same school, but they were both different people. He leaned over to the popular side while she fell over on the not-so-popular side. If he was seen with her, his life might be ruined. She couldn't allow that to happen.
"I can't. I have plans already." she explained to him, which wasn't a complete lie. She did have plans, not any that could stop her from meeting him though. She was planning to read and study.
Natsu, who was on the other side from town frowned.
"Oh, I see . . . well then . .. thank you, again." Natsu said softly. He thought it would have been better if he did it in person, he could show how grateful he really was.
There was another awkward silence, none of them thought of any words to say left, and for some reason, neither of them wanted to say good bye. Natsu liked Lucy's angelic voice and Lucy liked the way he talked.
Lucy eventually thought it was pointless so she just snapped her phone shut and returned her eyes back to the massive book on her desk.
Natsu did it at the same time without knowing, he wished he didn't.
The blonde teen decided that she'd try to avoid him, it was best for him.
The pink haired teen chose that he'd try to find her, even if it was just meant to say thank you.
Any ways, she did save his life, right? If it wasn't for her, he would never be able to live again. He was determined to find her, no matter what. She was his savior.
I finally finished typing the chapter! I have been at this for three hours, and wow do I feel proud!
