NO ONE'S POV
The early morning sun crashed through Lucy's bedroom window and the whole room immediately lit up making everything seem brighter. Her eyes fluttered open from the sudden burst of light that flooded into her room from outside, jumping out of bed with lighting speed Lucy ran to the bathroom to get ready for the day ahead.
LUCY'S POV
I was wearing navy blue denim short shorts that ended just after my bum and was frayed around the edges, a pale white singlet with golden thread woven around the hem and straps, a white belt with a golden buckle around my waist with my signature whip and celestial keys attached and a navy blue denim jacket just a shade lighter than my shorts to complete the outfit.
My golden yellow hair was tied into a side pony tail letting my fringe hang down to my honey-brown eyes which seemed to sparkle in the sunlight. As I ran down the streets in my new pair of black combat boots, the guild fairy tail began to come into view and an even bigger smile appeared on my face.
Ever since I met Natsu and Happy and I was introduced to fairy tail, all my past misery and problems seemed to have become smaller with my new Nakama around me to help. I can't thank fairy tail enough for what they've done I get to go on mission every day with team Natsu and can finally move forward leaving the past in the…past.
Kicking down the Doors of the guild I was face to face with a happier and rowdier than normal fairy tail, and a girl around my age with short white hair resembling Maryjane quite a lot was in the middle of it all.
"Is that the girl from Edolas?" I asked generally curious if I was right.
Surprisingly the white haired girl was the one who answered my question.
"Hi, my names Lisanna and to answer your question yeah I am that girl"
Before I could reply she grasped my hands in hers and practically shouted with a large grin
"You must be Lucy, thanks for keeping Natsu and Happy out of trouble while I was gone, I hope we can be friends" "but he doesn't need you anymore" she added as she pulled me into a hug whispering those 5 words that continued to ring in my ear long after she released me from her hug leaving me in shock as she joined the cheering crowd once again.
That was almost 5 weeks ago, and since then Lisanna has been giving me silent threats while she wasn't being the centre of attention. Turns out she was a fairy tail mage and the youngest of the Strauss siblings before she went on a S-class job with Elfman and Mira and was believed dead but she was actually pulled into the opposite world Edolas and has been living there up until recently when Natsu, Wendy, Garjeel and I went to Edolas to rescue our friends.
I tried to ignore Lisanna's worrying threats for the first couple of weeks and tried to be her friend but that just seemed to make things worse…Unfortunately everyone has been ignoring me to hang out with Lisanna except Garjeel, Pantherlily, Laxus, Carla, Juvia and sometimes Wendy and but she's so nice and doesn't really believe that I'm being ignored by everyone except the said mages. Hell even master was ignoring me!
I felt alone, so terribly alone…and to make it worse is that all of team Natsu kicked me off the team, they didn't say anything but they let Lisanna join and stopped inviting me on missions, so when Mira called team Natsu I went over as well but… Mira just looked at me and said with that sweet smile of hers before bluntly stating…
"sorry Lucy but I just need team Natsu" that's when I first realised I was just a replacement until Lissana came back and to make it worse, it was the 1 year anniversary of when I joined fairy tail.
That's when I decided to quit I kind of foretold the outcome of Lisanna's return but I always hoped we'd end up being friends. Boy was I wrong. But what hurt me the most about leaving wasn't that I was leaving fairy tail, my family, my friends, my home, it's that nobody noticed that I had…
After arriving home that dreadful day I couldn't stop the overwhelming sadness that struck my heart like an arrow and the tears that burned like fire in my eyes threatening to fall down my pale cheeks, I was in shock. No one noticed and no one cared. I landed on my bed with a loud thump and then I couldn't hold back anymore. Burying my face in my pillow I cried I held it in so long. I tried to be strong, I tried not to give up but I don't have any hope to hold onto anymore, nothing to stop me from falling into despair…
After hours of crying nonstop, I slowly fell into a deep dreamless sleep. When I awoke the next day it was already afternoon but I could feel the inviting warmth of the sun on my back that was pouring in threw my window like the day before. Suddenly getting up as the memories of the past days began to swirl around my head like a hurricane, unable to focus on just one memory. A now familiar pang hit my chest one again and my vision begin to blur from the tears filling up my already red eyes.
"It isn't fair!" It felt like all my pain and sorrow was turning into anger in that moment before evaporating back into the same unwanted feelings that hadn't wanted to leave me in peace for the last two days.
"It isn't fair..." I whispered before adding in a wail… " haven't I felt enough pain, shed enough tears" when my mum died, when my dad pretended I hadn't existed for most of my life, how as soon as Lisanna came back everyone tossed me to the side like 2 week old rotten eggs.
"Mom what do I do now?" I questioned my deceased mother while watching the afternoon sun slowly fall behind the town's buildings from my bedroom window.
"It's so hard to lose the one you love" I began to sing…
Singing always helped me get things of my chest and mom use to always sing to me when I was sad and I joined in once I started feeling better so I guess you could call it an instinct. (A/N-the song is 'when the last tear drop falls' by Blaque)
"To finally have to say goodbye
You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin' on
And all that you can do is cry
Deep within your heart you know it's time to move on
When the fairy tail that you once knew is gone
When the last tear drop falls
I'll still be holdin' on to all of our memories
And all of what used to be
When the last tear drop falls
I will stand tall
And know that you're here with me in my heart
When the last tear drop falls
So now I'm alone and life keeps movin' on
But my destination still unknown, oh yeah
Will there be a time when I'll fall in love again?
When I was meant to walk these streets alone
If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight
It would be to have you right back by my side
Now it's time for me to find my happiness again
And the emptiness from missin' you
Will never ever end, baby"
I couldn't stop the small smirk that pulled at my lips, how ironic that a song I wrote full of sadness I sang full of hope…hope for a new beginning.
