Chapter 1: The Letter...
"We are gathered here to say our last goodbyes to a very good friend of ours...
Lucy Heartfilia... She was a great girl. She was smart, funny, kind and beautiful. She loved this guild. She loved each and everyone of us. Some, more than others..." Erza paused and stared at me directly in the eyes, "She was strong. She gave everything she had to protect this guild. Our guild. She shall live long in our hearts." Erza finished and walked down the steps, staring at me with a saddenned look. She knew that the only person who could cheer me up was gone... The last time I had cried was when Igneel died... Before that, I only cried when someone had hurt Lucy bad enough to make anyone believe she was dying.
I stared at the casket.
"Lucy..." I stood up and ran out of the church. I heard someone call my name, but I didn't care. I didn't know where I was running, but I didn't stop to wonder. When I did stop,
I noticed I was in front of Lucy's apartment. I was about to run home when the landlay came out.
"I was wondering when you would come. Come on! There is something here for you." She grabbed my arm and dragged me into Lucy's apartment. Everything was still the same. Her scent still lingered in the air. The landlady sat me on the couch, handed me an envelope, and left.
I stared at Lucy's hand-writing. It was perfect. I eased the envelope open, careful not to tear it, and pulled a couple sheets of paper. It read...
Dear Natsu,
I don't know why I wrote this. I just felt I should. This is only to be read if something happens to me. I guess there is no reason to hide this anymore... Natsu, I love you.
I always have. Not as nakama. More like how a girl loves a boy when they aren't counted as family. I guess I am trying to say that I would have wanted to be a couple with you. I think us being like that would have been great. I've felt this way since you saved me from that 'Salamander'
guy... I'm sorry I never told you. Or maybe I did. I don't know. I always hoped you felt the same way, but you seemed to be too dense to notice my feelings. I wish I could be there with you, but it seems that I couldn't anymore. I guess my family wanted me home... As in family, I mean my mom and dad. I guess you guys want me back, don't you? Well, there is something I want you to get. When you go over to my bed, pull the mattress up, there is something under it. It is full of memories. Take it to the guild for everyone. I'm sure everyone will enjoy it. Natsu... Please... Never forget me. I feel that you forget everything sometimes. Just.. Please.. Always remember me. I want to live in your heart forever. Until the end. Maybe I will see you in heaven someday! I am sorry to put this all on you.
I guess I just needed to let you know my feelings. Tell everyone that I love them. Oh! If I am gone, give the next sheet to the landlady. I am giving you the apartment. I think you should have something to remember me. Natsu... I love you. And I am sorry..." I started sobbing. I was crying for ten minutes, then i got the Lucy, Happy, and I. I smiled at all the memories. I openned the door to find the landlady.
"Are you done?" I grabbed the paper and handed her it. She looked at it, grabbed a pen from her purse,
and signed it. "There. This is officially your apartment. The first time you destroy it, you will be kicked out." She put the paper in her purse and walked away. I closed the door and walked to the guild.
