Chapter 1:
LUCY'S POV.
It felt surreal, laying in my bed, thinking about tomorrow. It all hits you all at once, how far you've come. I can still remember the first day of my freshman year in high school, all wide-eyed and naive. Now I'm entering my senior year. It's almost unbelievable. Main nostalgic train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of my cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Lucy," my friend Erza answered, "Could you pick me up some chocolate? I really need it right now," she asked. I found myself smiling, no matter what changed, Ezra was always the same.
"Must be that time of the month. Alright, I'll head over now," I said, picking up my bag and heading out of the house.
"Thanks so much! Love you," she said hanging up. I slide into my car and drove to the nearest gas station, as I had done many times before. I knew where the Snickers were without even looking. I grabbed more than one, knowing Erza would not be satisfied with only one. By the time the boy at the counter rung me up, I had my card in hand and ready to be used.
I swiftly swiped my card and began on my way to Erza's house. I parked in her driveway and made my way to her door with her chocolates. By the time I reached, Erza already had it open and was excitedly waiting for me to come inside.
"Thank you so much, Luce, you saved me," she said grabbing the chocolates. I laughed, whenever she was on her period, she craved anything chocolate like a pregnant woman.
"Do you wanna watch a Nicholas Sparks movie with me?" she asked, throwing herself onto her couch. That was another thing she did when she was on her period, binge watch Nicholas Sparks movies.
"I'd love to, but I can't. I have to finish my summer reading log before school starts tomorrow," I said watching her open a chocolate bar and eat it like it caused her taste buds to perform acrobatics in her mouth.
"You're such a nerd, Luce," she said laughing. I shrugged. I wasn't a nerd, I just had goals in life. I could never reach those goals without working hard.
"See you tomorrow, Erza," I called as I walked out the door.
"Bye!" she answered from her couch. When I sat back in my seat, something caught my eye from the backseat. It was a dress that I borrowed from Juvia. I remembered putting it in my car so I would remember to return it to her.
I figured now was the best time to take it by. I hoped it wasn't too late, seeing as it was nearing 11 o clock. I went up to the front door and walked right in. I was her best friend, I had my rights. Although, when I think about it, it probably wasn't too good an idea. I looked around the downstairs and didn't see her. So naturally, I thought I'd just leave it in her room.
I stopped short of the door, my body frozen, half from curiosity and half from utter shock. Someone was having sex in there. Okay obviously, I thought, berating myself. I turned around to leave, as I am not one to peek on a friend's sexual practices. Unfortunately, I heard something that made me turn back around.
"Oh, shit Gray," I heard a voice like a gasp of air. It was then, only then, that I realized what was truly going on. My body went numb as my fingers clenched around the knob. When I heard a loud groan, I got a sudden surge of anger. I stormed into the room, the door slammed against the wall from the sheer force of my anger. They gasped and quickly pulled away from each other, staring at me in shock. I had never felt so utterly disgusted in my life.
"Lucy! It's not what you think! Let Juvia explain!" Juvia yelled, pulling away from Gray, who sat there with a stunned expression. Every muscle in my body clenched as I willed myself to keep the tears in.
"Oh, I know. You were washing his throat with your tongue and cleaning his dick with your vagina. Don't worry, no need to explain," I said throwing the dress at her. I couldn't bear to say anything more, or I would break down. I sat in my car, unable to drive. My hands gripped the steering wheel and my head fell forward. I couldn't believe that my best friend since 1st grade and my boyfriend of 2 years would do this to me. I would never forgive them.
When I was finally able to move again, I drove back to my house. I needed something… I needed a change. Today marked the beginning of a brand new era.
NATSU'S P.O.V.
I arrived at the mall with words on the tip of my tongue and a pretty girl waiting to see me.
"Lisanna, we need to talk," I said walking up to her. She stood up from the bench closing the distance between us. I made sure to back away far enough so she wouldn't be able to kiss me.
"About what?" she asked smiling way too much to make this situation easy. I had to make sure to get out of here before she tried to talk me out of it.
"I think we need to break up," I said, keeping a poker face.
"What? Why?" she said, her voice breaking.
"Look, I just realized I'm not quite ready to be in a relationship right now," I said, which isn't exactly a lie.
"But, we've been dating for 2 months. I love you… " she spoke in a voice so quiet I almost didn't hear. I felt bad, I really did, but I couldn't go into my senior year in high school with a girlfriend.I decided that was my cue to go. I drove off and didn't look back.
