Chapter 1

[Normal POV]

"I'm so sorry Lucy" says Sting, looking anywhere but at her.

Lucy is left speechless, not wanting to believe what Sting was telling her, "Wh..what do you mean?" she stammers, trying to hold back her tears.

Sting sighs "I can't do this anymore. I still do have feelings for you but I'm in love with someone else."

Hearing him say that, her heart breaks into a million pieces. "Who?" she asks.

He hesitates for a moment but answers, "Yukino".

All she could come up was "Oh".

He feels bad seeing the hurt look on her pretty face knowing that he shattered her heart.

After a moment she asks, "Since when?"

"It has been some months now. She feels the same way about me." mutters Sting.

She takes a shaky breath and puts on a fake smile "I guess this is it then. Thank you for everything Sting. Stay happy. Goodbye." And she leaves, finally letting her tears fall.

Sting stands there with wide eyes, shocked. He was sure Lucy would throw a fit but he had been wrong. Even if she's hurt, all she want is for him to be happy because that's how much she loves him, selflessly willing to sacrifice anything for his happiness.

[Lucy POV]

I feel numb. My heart aches so much, it feels likes a knife twisting in my chest. I did everything I could for him. I loved him with all my heart. I still love him. I thought he was happy. He said so himself. What went wrong then? Was I not making him happy enough? Was he not satisfied of me?

"I can't take it. It hurts so much..everywhere. Why? What did I do to deserve this? Is it wrong to love someone as much as I love him? Oh God, I love him so much. I need him." She cries desperately sitting on the floor in her room, hugging her knees and clutching her chest.

After hours of crying she falls asleep with tears still flowing from her eyes, whimpering in her sleep.

Later at night, Natsu sneaks into her bedroom through the window. Searching for Lucy to tell her about his mission with Happy. He then panics seeing her on the floor looking as miserable as ever. He carries her to her bed and shakes her awake.

She groggily opens her puffy red eyes, "Natsu?" His stomach flips seeing his bestfriend like this.

"Luce, what's happened?" he asks with a stern face, ready to rip apart whoever hurt his bestfriend.

A blank look on her face, she stares at him saying nothing. He holds her close, comforting her "You know you can tell me anything, right? I'm your bestfriend. I'm always here for you. So tell me Luce, what happened?"

Finally, her tears starts to fall again as she looks at him straight in his eyes and says, "He left me."

Natsu strokes her hair with his fingers, trying to make her talk to him "Sting? What did he do to you? Tell me so I could pummel his face."

She stares at nothing "He broke up with me. He said he's in love with Yukino." she mutters with an emotionless face.

Natsu clenches his fist and grits his teeth. That asshole. Oh! He would have the pleasure ripping his head off. He sighs deeply. But for now, his bestfriend needs him so he'll be here for her.

"Shh..Let's talk tomorrow okay Luce? Right now, you need to rest. Sleep. I'm right here with you."

She just nods and closes her eyes, feeling nothing since she still can't believe Sting left her. 'It's just a dream. When I wake up, he'll be by my side, smiling at me' she thinks to herself and finally drifts off to a restless sleep.

Natsu held her until she fell asleep, deciding to talk to their friends tomorrow. Before falling asleep, he promises to make Sting pay dearly for hurting his friend.
