Hey Lucy. . .
"Don't forget to write letters!"
"Call me!"
"Visit us anytime you want!" A group of children crowded around their friend. She was moving due to her father's work.
"I will! Bye guys," the girl waved goodbye as the car drove farther and farther away.
"Hey Lucy!" A boy roared. "Don't you dare forget about us and the fun times we had!"
"Of course! Bye Natsu!" They continued to wave to each other until they could no longer see the car. Natsu lowered his arm.
"Don't worry, Natsu. Lucy always keeps her promises. She won't forget us." Levy comforted him as he started tearing up. Everyone started to sniffle.
"I know." One by one, the kids began to sob. "I know and yet. . .!"
I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest.
"I miss her already," he said instead.
You left me to soon. . .
Natsu was playing with his friends when they got the bad news.
Four years after Lucy had moved, other people began moving in. The Heartfilias had owned a lot of property prior to moving. When they moved, it allowed more people to move into the homes that previously housed a family of three and some servants.
The new neighbors would always hear of the previous landowners. From the good deeds and kind family to the large company and amount of servants, there was no doubt they were influential in the village.
Levy ran up to him as he played football with the others. "What's up, Levy? It's rare for you to be running, even if it's about a book."
"Where are the others? This is important."
"How?"
"It's about Lucy." That immediately made Natsu excited. Lucy! He quickly called the others.
"Hurry Levy, tell us. What about Lucy?" Gray panted as he sprinted towards them. "Is she visiting?"
"No, it's not that," Levy's voice trembled. "She was in a car accident."
"Then is she. . .?" Erza trailed off.
"She's alive," a collective sigh of relief, "but her mom didn't make it." Silence hung in the air. "Her dad called Makarov. She's in stable condition, but her injuries aren't what I'm talking about.
"She's lost oher memories of us, of here. She almost forgot who she is. He said to stop expecting letters and phone calls." Everyone knew what Levy was going to say. They wanted to stop her. "She won't be coming back."
Natsu looked at the ground. A pang in his heart, he willed himself not to cry. "Maybe if she comes here, she'll remember."
"That's true, but by the way it sounded, her dad is too scared to bring her to the village." Levy shook her head. They all knew how protective Jude Heartfilia was.
"So she won't ever remember us?"
"I don't think so, no."
That sentence alone killed his dreams of happily reuniting with his best friend. How did it end like this, Lucy? Why did you leave me already?
