I made new one shot! :D But I have an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT later. Check it out, and review. Now, please enjoy the story...

~~~~~ Turning Point ~~~~~

Natsu's POV:

FLASHBACK...

Lucy giggled while blushing. "Oh, Natsu. You really didn't need to!"

I smiled and insisted. "It's our anniversary, and I want to spend every day of my life with you worth living." I said, then teased her. "Plus, you look cute when you're blushing."

Lucy punched my arm playfully. "You're such a teaser." But then, she smiled and kissed me. "But I love you for that. And the necklace is really beautiful—not to mention your choice of restaurant. You got help, didn't you?"

I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. "Well... Gray DID insist..."

Lucy laughed. "Or maybe it was YOU who insisted." She awed at my gift, as she looked at it. It was silver chain necklace with a yellow gem shaped like a star. In the centre of it was a red gem, shaped like a flame. Perfect for both of us.

A waiter arrived, holding a tray of food. "Your food, sir, ma'am."

Lucy thanked him while I fiested. Not bad for being one of Magnolias best restaurant. Tasty.

Soon, after dinner, Lucy and me walked through the park. I was walking her home. But what caught my eye was a flower store. Perfect—as always. It seemed the world made everything perfect today. I told Lucy to wait, so she sat down on the bench, while kids crowded her, asking if she was from Fairy Tail. Well, better hurry.

I went to the flower shop and found different kinds of, well, flowers! I didn't exactly know her favourite flower, so I just got every kind. I stepped out of the shop and bumped into somebody I didn't expect to see.

"Hey, Lisanna!"I greeted the white-headed mage. "I didn't expect to see you here!" I gave her a grin, and saw her blush a little. Or was that my imagination.

"Oh, um... Hey, Natsu." She said, giving me a small smile. "What are you doing here? Where's Lucy?"

"Lucy? Oh, she's over there!" I said, pointed at a bench where the kids decided to play with Luce.

"Oh..." she said. She looked at the flowers in my hand and I thought I saw her get washed with sadness. But then she replaced it with a smile. "And I bet those flowers are for her, right?"

"Of course!" I said. "She IS my girlfriend, after all."

She faced the floor and I looked at her in confusion. "Wow, Natsu... That's just... That's just great... You've grown up... Lucy is sure lucky to have you..." There are two things I noticed. One, it seemed she forced those words out. And two, I could smell tears.

"Lisanna..." I said, examining her. "Are you... crying?"

Lisanna looked up and smiled, tears streaming down her face. "I'm just... I'm just so happy you found someone you love..." Okay, she was only half lying. But I could tell she didn't mean the 'happy' part. "But can I just tell you something, Natsu? So I could just move on, knowing I said it, even if I was too late?"

"Um... Sure Lisanna! That's what friends are for right?"

Lisanna whipped her tears. "Friends..." She whispered, but I heard it loud and clear, thanks to my good sense of hearing. She faced me, her tears now gone. I waited patiently for her to speak. "Natsu... I just wanted to tell you that I..."

Instead of continuing, she surprised me by kissing me. I was too in shock to pull away. I was frozen in place. And I wish I have pulled away, because I regretted not to...

"Hey, Natsu. I was just checking to see if... Natsu...?" Lucy asked in disbelief. "Lisanna...?"

Lisanna and me quickly pulled away. Lisanna faced the floor in shame—and I am guessing because she knew I was already in a relationship, and you don't kiss guys in relationships. I stared at Lucy with wide eyes. Her eyes were tearing up. No, no, no! "Lucy! Let me explain! It was a—"

"Misunderstanding," Lucy finished, tears beginning to flow down her face. She looked away from me, which made me hurt even more. "It was all a misunderstanding. You kissed Lisanna, and you tell me it was a misunderstanding." She looked at me, hatred in her eyes—how I wanted to die. "Natsu, I thought I could trust you. You... You... You just wasted my time and faith. I'm out of here. You can be with Lisanna if you want to. You have my permission."

Surprising me, Lisanna stopped Lucy. "No, Lucy! You got it all wrong! Natsu is telling the truth! I kissed him!"

"Please, Lisanna..." Lucy said, not looking at either of us. "Just please stop defending him... I thought you already stopped loving him and accepted our relationship!" Then I could see her smile. "At least, what USED to be our relationship."

My eyes widened in shock. "No, Lucy. Please don't tell that—"

"Yes, Natsu. We're over." Lucy said, escaping from Lisanna's grasp. "I don't know what you want from me, but just do me one favour. Just please don't go to me. I just need some time alone." And with that, she ran off.

"Lucy!" I said, and tried to run after her. But Lisanna stopped me.

"I'm... I'm so sorry, Natsu... I didn't mean to... I just... I just got out of control with my actions!" She began crying. "It's all my fault. I'm sorry..."

I swallowed up all my anger and smiled at her. I guess I had to believe her. She was my friend, never the less. "It's... It's okay, Lisanna... I just... I just have to get her back, somehow. But just a question," She nodded. "Do you still feel for me?"

Lisanna shook her head. "I just needed to move on, knowing I was brave... I really didn't want to end your relationship... I really meant that I was happy for you... You and Lucy makes a great couple... I really want to support you..."

I nodded, and sighed, dropping the bouquet of flowers. I sat by a nearby bench and put my head on my hands. "I messed up... I messed up big time... How am I suppose to get her back this time?!"

Lisanna put a hand on my shoulder. "Talk to her tomorrow. She has to understand."

I nodded, determined. I swear to you, Luce. I will do anything to get you back.

The next day, I went to the guild and it seemed that Lucy wasn't there yet. Also, no one seemed to know about the break up. I came up to the bar maid, Mirajane, and asked her, "Mira, did Lucy come yet?"

Mia smiled and looked up at me. "Hello, Natsu. No, I haven't." Then she winked at me. "Why? Are you going to surprise her? Last time I checked, your anniversary was yesterday."

"Um... Yeah, it was. And, something like that..." I said, then waved good bye. "Just going to check on her." And I went off to her house. What I found was not in my liking.

Dear Natsu,

I just left this if you ever come here. And I bet you did.

Well, anyway, I just wanted to freshen up. I just forget everything that happened. I just couldn't take the pressure. Don't worry. I didn't quit the guild. I still love Fairy Tail very much. And don't worry about me hating you. I could never do that! I'll return in a few weeks! Just tell the guild I was going to visit the grave of my parents! That's where I'm going. Please do me a favour and don't follow me.

Hope we could still me friends!

Lucy

Well, at least we could still be friends. I just hope we could have our relationship back when she returns. Alright. I'll do my best! I hope you still love me, Lucy...

Few weeks later...

I was at the guild, fighting Gray as usual—and, of course, waiting for Lucy. I wonder when she'll come back. Anyway, the guilds reaction was asking me tons of questions, like, 'Why aren't you with her?!' or, 'Why didn't she tell us?!' I just shrugged. Of course, they were suspicious.

The door opened, and there I saw the person I have been waiting for. Lucy. My eyes widened and happiness washed over me. She was finally back!

"Sorry I didn't tell you, everyone!" she said, and gave a knowing smile to me. She was, of course, greeted by everyone and all. Once she came to me, she gave me a smile and whispered, "Sorry I didn't tell you personally, Natsu. I just couldn't handle that night. But all's in the past. We're still friends, right?" It seemed every spot of sadness was gone, and replaced with a new cheery one.

I nodded, smiling. Okay. Friend now, back again later. I'll tell her later. I will definitely. "Of course, Lucy."

She nodded, and hugged me. "Thank you." She said, and went off to Mira.

Gray went up to me and looked at me suspiciously. "Why hasn't she kissed you yet?" Oh, god...

"You know Lucy. She's shy around public." I lied, and gave a smirk.

Gray rolled his eyes and we began brawling again.

Later, when dusk broke in. I saw Lucy exiting the guild. I followed suit. "Hey, Lucy." I said, getting her attention. "Can I talk to you for a while?"

Lucy smiled, as if she didn't experience any pain. "Sure, Natsu. What would you like to talk about?"

"Listen, Lucy... About that night..." I forced out, hating talking about it. "It really was a big misunderstanding! Lisanna just tried confessing, but she couldn't control it! But she doesn't like me anymore! I swear!"

"Natsu..." Lucy said, her smile disappearing. "I don't want to talk about it anymore..."

"But Lucy," I said, insisting. "I promised, remember? I told you we would be together forever, right? I won't accept that you aren't mine anymore. I just... I just can't handle it... I just want to be with you again, Luce... Please..." I began tearing up.

"Natsu... I'm... I'm sorry... I really am... But... I just need to forget about it... I know you're sincere. I know I can believe in you again. But I don't want to experience that kind of pain again. Please, just... Just stop... I know you can find someone better than me..." And with that, she left me alone in front of the guild. I hate myself so badly...

End of flashback

I leaned onto the cherry blossom tree, sitting as I hear the people gossiping about the marriage tomorrow. I grimaced when I heard his name.

"Hey, did you know that there is a mage of Fairy Tail and a mage of Sabertooth getting married tomorrow?" "I heard! But I thought the two guilds were rivals?" "I know right!" "I think it was a stellar mage and one of the Dragon Duo!" "Oh, I know! It's Lucy Heartfilia and Sting Eucliffe!" "I heard he proposed one month ago!" "They say this is going to be one of the most epic marriage ever." "It's like a perfect love story! Two people from rival guilds experience true love!" "But what happened to that guy who was dating the girl? The Salamander, I think." "I heard they broke up 2 years ago."

That's it. I stood up and wondered across Magnolia. Eventually, I ended up at Lucy's apartment. I was thinking about going inside, but then I heard his and his friends voice there, along with Lucy's.

"It was Rogue's fault. I swear it was Rogue's fault. Look—he's trying to hide it!" Sting's voice said.

"Stop blaming me, Sting. Lucy knows it's you. And I always hide my emotion!" Rogue replied.

"Geez, Sting... Try being careful next time." Lucy said, then laughed. "I won't hit you today, so be thankful."

"Yeah. Be glad your pretty face is important for the wedding, Sting." Rogue said, laughing along side with Lucy.

"Of course!" I could almost imagine Sting smirking. "What kind of groom like me, should get a bruise on his best day of a life time?"

I could hear Lucy giggle. "Oh, you are too sweet Sting." And I am guessing they kissed, since Rogue said...

"Get a room! I'm still here!" I could imagine him roll his eyes.

I stepped back from the apartment and ran to my house. I can't take it anymore. No, Lucy. You're wrong. I can't find someone better than you. You're all I've got. I still love you.

I always thought I would be the one proposing to you. I always daydreamed about how you would squeal and jump to kiss me and scream yes. Of how I would kneel on one knee and hold out a ring for you to wear.

I always thought how you would look perfect on that wedding dress. How you would walk down that aisle, arm to arm with gramps. You are, but it's different. Your groom wasn't Sting. It was ME. It's supposed to be me! I'm supposed to be your fiancé. I'm supposed to be your groom!

But, no. Not everything turned out the way I thought it would. You didn't squeal when I proposed to you. You squealed when Sting proposed to you. You jumped and kissed him not me. Rogue is the best man. Not—I admit—Gray. You're marrying a Saber not a Fairy like you.

Sting means the world to you. Not... Not me. You love Sting. You don't love me.

I always thought the world goes on MY way. It goes the way I WANT it to go. I thought it was fine. It was PERFECT, actually. But faith took a turning point, and everything's messed up—for me.

I wish you still could've loved me, Luce. I really do. I wished I didn't go to that damn flower shop. I wish you were still MINE.

I love you, Luce. I will forever.

But it seemed you may not feel the same way for me. Well, tomorrow's your big day. Good luck.

To me.

~~~~~ The End...? ~~~~~

That was emotional... Anyway, YES there is a question mark on the "The End" thing. So here is the important announcement...
