Hi Everyone!
Hope you'll like my story :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail
"We'll meet her tomorrow" Gray said as he took the flash drive out of his laptop
I walked away from him heading for the door. The video brought me unwanted memories.
"Meet who?" I stopped my tracks
"The girl in the video" I heard him close his laptop
"W-what?" I turned around, my eyes widening as I clutched the door knob
"She's the new house mate of the girls." He continued as he arranged his things on the table
"Levy gave me this video saying she wants it recorded in an actual studio, they're coming here tomorrow" he looked at me and raised an eyebrow
"You okay man?" he inquired, staring him down
"Y-yeah" I made a deep breath "Do I need to go?" I paled
"Are you an idiot? The studio is right here in your house" Gray stood up and walked towards me "Besides, she's a hottie" he patted my shoulder and walked away "Maybe she'll take your mind off the past"
'She's my fucking past, you bastard' I thought grimly "I don't want to. I feel sick" I lied
"Stop whining, Erza personally asked me" Gray looked back at me and sighed "I'm going home, prepare the studio tomorrow"
I was there all alone, I decided to go to the studio. The studio was underground. It has complete set of instruments, drums, guitars, bass, keyboard and equipment used for recording. It also has chairs, a sofa and a room.
Meet her?
Me?
Meet her?
Me?
My hands were shaking. My breathing was fast. I couldn't believe it, I was going to meet her after 4 years. Wait. She's here. She was here all along? My thoughts were scattered. I was confused.
I shook my head and went inside the room. The room has a one-way mirror, I can see whoever was recording without them seeing me, it was good place to observe people then I saw a bed. I recalled Jellal saying he placed a bed there because there were other nights he would sleep here due to projects at school. I took my necklace off and laid down. I stared at the necklace as it hung down from my hand.
A smile formed my face.
"Here" she placed something on my hand and giggled "That is yours and this is mine" she dangled a necklace in front of her "Together we have a matching set" she smiled brightly at me
Mine was a G clef and hers was a crescent shape moon with a musical note. The two had different shapes but they were still a perfect fit.
"Why's mine this one?" I asked her confused but she smiled
"That's because, you are my G clef. You're the one who makes the pitch and tempo of my melodies. When you're sad, I'm sad. When you're happy, I'm happy. And my melodies are only for you and yours alone. My musical note can stand alone and your G clef can also stand-alone but without each other music can never be made" she placed the necklace around my neck
"Why this necklace though" I teased her making her pout "Does it have some kind of magic?" I laughed
"Yep!" She smiled wider
"Even when we're apart, we can always find each other no matter where we are as long as we wear the necklace" she played with my necklace
"But if one is lost though, we can never see each other" she looked up at me and smiled
"Don't lose it okay?"
My eyes hardened as I clutched the necklace when another memory resurfaced
"Why are you doing this?!" I asked desperately tears forming "Why?!" my voice was shaky
"We're not meant for each other." She spoke, her eyes hidden behind her bangs
"What?!" I was confused, hurt, and angry.
"Tell me the truth! Damn it! I want answers!" I grasped her shoulders and shook her
"I'm leaving okay! We're moving a few weeks from now" she raised her head and tears streamed down her face, her voice cracking in the process
"I'm not sure when will I be back! If I'm gonna be back! We're moving far away from here!" she started sobbing
"N-no way" My hands shook as they fell
"I don't think we'll meet ever again! I don't want to hurt you if I don't come back!" she wiped her tears with her hands as she tried to catch her breath
"We'll just have a long distance relationship! I don't care!" I argued fists forming my hands
"No. We can't contact each other. I'm leaving the country!" she cried
"T-Then I'll come to you!" I begged her
"You can't come to me!" she cried harder
"Why? Tell me why?" I was desperate
"I'm sorry Natsu, I'm so sorry" she bowed her head and cried
"I'll wait for you!" I hugged her
"Don't do this to me. I don't care how long will it be. I'll wait" I buried my face on her neck
"We just need to wear our necklaces right? Then we'll find each other no matter what" I hugged her tighter
"Okay" she hugged me back and cried "Okay"
I gazed at the ceiling and recalled yet another memory. The day where everything was ruined, the afternoon before her departure day. It was a day filled with emotions that I couldn't bear. I was hurt, betrayed, confused, angry and sad at the same time.
It was our last meeting at the bridge.
"I'm breaking up with you" she said as she faced the river, taking her necklace off
"I thought we talked about this" I said as I faced her. She was looking at the horizon
"Here" She handed me her necklace "I can't be your melodies anymore" her face was stoic, no emotion, nothing at all…I couldn't read her. She forced he necklace unto my hand.
"You're joking, right?" I clutched her necklace "Stop it! Now!" My head was hung low
"Goodbye Natsu" she turned around about to walk away
"If you go now, I'll throw this away" I raised her necklace and dangled it over the water. She stopped her tracks and instead walked towards me.
"I knew you were –" I stopped when she grabbed the necklace and threw it on the river herself
"Goodbye Natsu" she repeated with bangs covering her eyes and she ran away towards a car waiting for her.
"W-wait! Stop!" I ran after her car. I tapped on the window "Stop! Stop right now!" but the car drove faster. I couldn't see her inside. I chased it down until I was tired. I ran until I couldn't run anymore. I ran until I collapsed unto the cold hard ground. She didn't stop. She didn't come back. She left. She left me.
Tears escaped my eyes.
Why are these memories coming back?
I raised my hand as if trying to reach her. 'Goodbye Natsu' I slammed my hand back down.
How hateful
I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.
Morning came but I refused to get up. I had no energy. I was feeling lethargic. Ignoring my ringing phone I returned to sleep.
My sleep was disturbed when I heard someone badmouthing me.
"The idiot didn't prepare the studio at all!" a deep voice said
"You can just sit down there okay" a woman's voice said
"Where is he?! I'm gonna murder him!" another voice full of venom said as she entered the room
"Shit, Erza's here" I whispered to myself.
Begrudgingly, I sat up and I saw a face I thought I'd never saw ever again.
"No way" My eyes widened as I saw her. I thought my heart was gonna explode. I couldn't move. I can't move. I was afraid. Damn.
There she was. Sitting there, all alone. Looking through a familiar spring book filled with words and notes.
"Lucy" I breathed out
So... How was it?
