The last day
Juvia and Gray
Juvia woke up at the sound of her alarm clock. As sleepy as she was, she had to get up. She stood up from her recent position and reached for the alarm clock. Today, again she was to visit the Fairy Tail guild. Remembering her misfortune, she suffered a sharp pain on her chest.
" It's okay," she said as she held her chest tightly " even if he hates me, it's okay. Today is the last day."
She wipped her bitter tears, and the nurse came into her room. The nurse greeted Juvia who was still sitting on her bed, wires connected to her body. Juvia was to meet the doctor for her last check up. Before the doctor came in, the nurse held Juvia's hand and bitter tears went rolling down her cheeks, for this was the last time that she could see her. Juvia smiled generously, looking at the sobbing nurse.
" How are you doing Juvia?," the doctor asked as he entered the room, and consoled the poor nurse, who was still weeping.
" I can't say that I feel better," Juvia answered gloomly, as she glanced her eyes at the photo of her friends that was placed on the table at the end of the room.
" You're gonna miss them,"
Juvia nodded, but didn't notice the tears that rolled down her pink cheeks. The wailings of her tears wasn't heard, for she knew she was ready. The doctor stared at the nurse and Juvia for a while, and let out a sigh.
" Don't you wanna visit them for the last time?," the doctor asked.
Juvia and flinched, and looked at the doctor with a suprised reaction. Her face brightened, as she heard the offer. She nodded with all her happiness. The atmosphere in that room seemed to have brighten up.
Sooner or later, Juvia was able to visit her friends after a whole month in the hospital. None of her friends visited her, for they were never informed of Juvia's sickness. So, began Juvia's journey of freedom for the last day of her life.
The door of the guild was flung open by the energetic Juvia. The reaction of her nakamas wasn't very shocking, but they were glad to see Juvia all healthy after the gloomy days that went by. Lucy was the first person who greeted her and wailed about Juvia's health. Second, were her nakamas who weren't as worried as Lucy came up to her and lifted her spirits by giving her compliments. Lastly, Gray came up to her, he didn't look so happy. Juvis stepped back as he approached her with a dark cloud over his head.
" G-Gray s-sama," stuttered she." Please stop, you're scaring Juvia,"
As Gray's face was as close as it can get with Juvia, he lifted up his face and made a melancholic face. A blush went over Juvia's face, as she watched Gray's face change and the tears that went down his face.
" Gray - Gray sama?,"
Suddenly, Gray stretched out his hands over Juvia and pulled her closer. Juvia blushed, as she was hugged by her ' Master '.
" Juviaa!," wailed Gray.
" EEEHHHHH?! " said everyone, turning their heads towards the queer event that was going on around the lovely sad couple.

" Why is he so worried about Juvia?," asked she to herself.
Juvia sat at the opposite of the sobbing Gray. The atmosphere was too queer for Juvia to come up to him and console him. But everytime Gray let out a cute groan, Juvia couldn't help to lift her eyes and glance at Gray for a second. And everytime she would, she would blush as red as a tomato.
" Ahhhhh... Gray sama is too cuteee," thought Juvia, as she turned her face backwards, and placed her hands on her cheeks.
It was dangerous, but it was wonderful. She suggested that she should start a conversation with him, to avoid other akward silence that might occur. She hesitated for a second, but decided to start anyways. At the first try, she recieved no answer from Gray. The next attempt, Gray looked away and ignored her. But on the third attempt, Gray started off first.
" Don't do that ever again," said he, whipping off the dry tears on his face.
" Eh," asked she " do what?,"
" Don't just dissapear like that. Ever again,"
Juvia couldn't understand what he meant by that. However, she didn't want to put Gray in distress, so she nodded. The hands of Gray stretched out to Juvia to reach her hands that she placed on her laps. Juvia looked at him with a shy face, and he replied it with a smile. Not a smirk, but a gentle smile.
" It's nice to have you look all healthy after the storm,"
Something struck her after the comment from Gray. She gave an expression that showed that she was hiding something - which she is. The disease that she was diagnosed with was to end her heartbeat today. She let go of Gray's hand, and gave out a heavy laugh. Gray became worried of her queer actions. Gray offered to grab a glass of water for her, and she thanked him. So, off goes Gray to Mira Jane, leaving Juvia alone in the dining area.
Juvia was in distress. She had to make a desicion - to tell or not? Her life or her love? She plunged her face on her arms on the table, and began her desicion making. Suddenly, a thought of reality went over her mind.
" This could be a dream," said she, raising her head slowly" Juvia could be dreaming.. None of this could happen in reality.. Gray would never give this reaction,"
Bitter tears of realization went rolling down her cheeks, as she covered it with her hands. " None of this could happen," she keeps repeating. She continued making excuses to support her statement of her condition. Regreting the decisions that was made. But she could be true. This could just be a dream, a bad dream. But what was she supposed to do? Could this be a dream? Would she wake up, and forget everything, or would it happen all over again?
