Chapter 1: A Hurting Smile
Lucy Heartfilia:
Another boring day at Fairy Tail, there was only two difference though. One: Lisanna is here. Two: I'm left alone and Natsu and Lisanna are out on a job. Well, make that three differences. Every since Lisanna came back, things changed. Lisanna and I are like love rivals for someone's love, I don't know who though. No one talks to me expect Levy-Chan, Mira-Chan, Erza, Happy, and Wendy. Sadly, my two best friends, my almost 'little sister', and my favorite cat are out on different jobs. Levy, Gajeel, Jet, and Droy went on some easy mission. Erza went on a job with Natsu, Lisanna, Happy, Wendy, and Gray. For some reason Mira-Chan isn't here today. So I was drinking on a table alone.
Every since Lisanna came back, I started drinking to get rid of my depression. The girls try to get me to stop, but I can't. The hardest thing on me is that I miss Natsu. I miss they way we argue, talk, fight together, and laugh. Now everything that we do together, he's now doing with Lisanna. I was just Lisanna's replacement.
"Hey, Lucy," said as familiar voice, I look behind me to see my best friend Mirajane right behind me. "What's that smell, it smell like Cana drunk a few barrels again?" Mirajane asked as she looked around. Then her eyes landed on me, she saw I had a mug of booze in my hand. "Lucy, you can't drink this much," Mira-Chan scolded me.
"I can't help it, every time I think of Natsu, Gray, and Lisanna, I crave booze." my eyes stung as I tried to hold back the tears. "They all think I'm a replacement." I whispered then took another sip of the liquor. The feel of the liquor numbs me as it slides down my throat. As the numbness comes, so do the tears.
"Lucy, you know that's not true," Mirajane said when she sat down next to me and caress my body to comfort me. "Mirajane, they treat Lisanna the same way they treated me. They all think I'm just dead, now." I cracked. Tears were shedding onto the ground. "They think I'm just a ghost that should just be ignored so that I don't haunt them." I commented.
Mirajane wiped my hot tears off of my red cheeks. "Lucy, I know they all care about you, even Lisanna. These idiots just need a push in the right direction." Mira-Chan sweet talked. This time, it didn't work. I still felt betrayal in my heart.
"They can't care for me. The only reason they cared for me is that Lisanna was gone so they need someone to replace her. You even said it, I remind you of Lisanna. Maybe if I came before she 'died' this wouldn't be happening." I reasoned. This time more hot tears shed off my face. These tears were of angry and betrayal.
"Oh, Lucy," Mirajane said as she caressed me tighter. Even Mirajane doesn't know what to say for this situation. "Damn them all." I whispered over and over again. Mirajane didn't stop me from saying that cause they deserved it. "Even Natsu, the one who brought me here. I just wish I declined his offer." I said. "He can be an idiot sometimes, but I didn't know he was this much of an idiot." Mirajane chuckled.
Me and Mira-Chan stayed like that for a while. Then Team Natsu came back. Erza, Wendy, and Happy rushed to my side. "Is she okay?" Wendy asked as she looked at my face. I held my head down with my bangs covering my eyes. The only thing you could see is warm droplets and my mouth in a unstable frown.
"It's the guild," Mirajane replied with a sigh. Once Mira-Chan said that a dragon slaying pinkette walked over. He had a smile on his face. I was suspicious, so I looked at Lisanna to see a smirk on her face. So what ever he says, Lisanna is controlling him.
"Hey Lucy," Natsu called. He didn't call me that nickname he made for me. "Can you come here?" Natsu asked. Mira-Chan, Levy-Chan, Wendy and Happy looked at me. I nodded. I wiped y face and walked over to Natsu. "What do you want, fire breath?" I asked rudely. My face still covering my eyes.
"I have decide to kick you off Team Natsu." Natsu stated in a proud way. "W-what?" I asked, this time my eyes were clear to his eyes. "You're just too weak. Your celestial sprit magic isn't powerful, it gets us into trouble and doesn't even help. Then you're complaining about breaking one thing or the other. Then you complain about your rent." Natsu reasoned. This guy is really making my blood boil.
"You creep into my apartment and breaking something so I have to pay for it! So you're the reason I complain about my rent! Anyways, you sneak into my room, trying to eat everything I got and sleep everywhere, so you wouldn't have to sleep in you're damn 'house' where everything is dirty! So if you want me off the team, then I want you out of my life!" I can't believe I said that without cussing. "Fine with me," Natsu said casually. "Bye bitch," I mumbled as I walked out the guild.
Erza Scarlet:
What the hell just happened? Me, Wendy, Mira, and Happy were in shock. Natsu, that heartless bastard! He just kicked Lucy off the team with no doubt or regret. What happened to those word Natsu said, "Not someone like you, Lucy it's gotta be exactly you. It just wouldn't feel right if we didn't have you out there with us, you know." I quoted inside my head. I can't believe he betrayed his own words. When our shock faces erased, Wendy, Levy, Happy, and I ran to find Lucy. We will make sure Natsu know it was a mistake to kick Lucy off the team.
