Lucy's pov
Last two years...
So since i left magnolia I've found a new life for myself, it's not the same as the one in magnolia. But since I've left, no one has really contacted me from the guild, I know they have but they don't really know where i'm living now, since i didn't say my goodbyes to anyone. So since i left I've had a good life, my hair has grown quite a lot, i've changed, i don't really do missions anymore it bring back to many bad memories, i haven't really summoned my spirits since I've left magnolia, now and then they come to help but i've asked them not to show up this week, since i didn't need their help with anything just yet. However, i don't want the guild to find my whereabouts, i've used some of my fathers money that he left for me after he passed, missing him quite a bit.
So i'm living on the edge of a small village, that i've been to a couple times, one of them when i came to live here with my mother and father before my mum passed away, when i was 4 still surprised i remembered it…I work in a small inn or hotel to what others call it, the landlord knows me but I've told her that i'm not looking for special treatment since i told her i don't run with fairy tail anymore, when i said it, it broke my heart, but it looked like she knew i was lying, she's been kind enough to let me have a room here, which is a bonus. My room is on the top floor, it quite small to my other house in magnolia, which i still rent 'Lucy's eyebrows twitches think about the money, she sends back to magnolia for the house'. So my little room in this hotel is cute, little bathroom with a bathtub big enough for two, which is shocking, the bedroom has a large bed, a desk which i was happy about, as well as a nice size wardrobe.
As your reading this i'm walking through the town i now live in, the people here are amazing their so kind and polite, and the moment i heading off to get some food for the week with the very little money i earn, but that's what i get for having a house in magnolia 'lucy laughs to herself'. I lived here for nearly two years now, and i've meet loads of people, but i wouldn't really call them friends or even family, some people i talk to because they knew me from fairy tail but more because of my family name. Sometimes i feel like a celebrity depending on the time of the year.
After living here for quite for sometime, I got a weird letter about three months ago, from one of my friends from fairy tail, she finally found me, but i'm guessing she didn't know where exactly where her letter has gone, 'thank god' i decided i wouldn't write back because i wasn't ready to head home yet. well, head home back to magnolia.
After going out for the day, i had been shopping for food and window shopped for new outfits, i hoped one day i will get but i knew i wouldn't be able to afford them. As i walks home with the shopping in my hands, something stopped me in the street, I certain smell, i remembered it, i turned round but no one was there, i knew it was the time of the year when it reminded me of when i left magnolia a few years ago, but i shook my head and continued to walk back to my house, removing the smell from my head because i didn't want to be reminded of those days.
As she entered the hotel her landlady greeted me "hey lucy sorcerer weekly has been delivered this week do you want one" she turns round "yes please, i wonder what the guild has done this week to end up in this" as she shakes the magazine in the air, and smiles towards her landlady and walks upstairs.
As she reaches her room, she stops "something doesn't feel right, why?" she opens the door but nothing seemed to be different. As she walks into her room, she closes the door "it's good to be home after the day i've had" she puts her shopping in her little kitchen " what to have for dinner" she pull different types of food out of her bag and lays it on the table, "hmm" she holds her chin in her hand "i can make beans on toast" she thinks to herself " it would be a change to all those takeaways i've had". She begins to cook her dinner.
After lucy had finished her dinner she decided it's time to tell her mother hows shes been and what been going on, in her life since the last time she wrote to her.
Lucy grabs her papers and sits at her desk, and begins writing… 'dear mum,
''So it's few years since i left with no goodbye to my family at fairy tail, it's been quite hard leaving them without saying anything. After natsu left i didn't have a purpose being there missing him, before i left, everyone at the guild stayed united after zeref's monsters attack us, however after i left the guild one day, i got home and found a letter from natsu and happy, saying there were going on a long mission to improve their magic, but i wanted to go but they left me, why?.' lucy cries as she writing to her mother, last few months her last letter have been about natsu. Lucy stops writing so she could cry, missing the man she loved, the man who told her 'he loved her' and would want to spend their life together.
After Lucy finished the letter to her mother, she decided to read sorcerer weekly so she could see what fairy tail had been up to this week, but nothing? "Had they gone quite or something" Lucy sat there questioning the magazine, not even Mirajane was in the pictures any more. Lucy decided to take a bath to comfort her disappointment from not seeing them for the 7th time in the last couple of months. She sat in her new bathtub at work, she lived in the hotel she worked at, since it wasn't that far to go and it was cheaper living there than somewhere else.
As Lucy laying in the bath she remembers how natsu confesses his love to her and how she confessed to him it was just as natsu finished one of Zeref's monsters that he told her. Natsu came up to her and hugged her tightly and said
"Lucy I lo..lov..love y..you"
and with that he kissed her passionately, she kissed back knowing the love he put to that kiss, suddenly Lucy woke up from her daydream, she realised she wasn't with him and he wasn't kissing her, she start to cry, she draws her knees up to hug them and sits there crying away.
Remembering the guild hurt her, but remembering him killed her, her heart would ache for days, he was the love of her life, best friend, first friend even though he annoyed her, she hated missing him, if only he would come back and take her to her real home back in magnolia, back to fairy tail, to where Erza, Gray, Juvia, Wendy, Levy, Gajeel, Mira and the rest of the gang were, but somewhere in her gut she realised that wouldn't be happening, because it only happened in fairy tales, and she knew natsu wasn't her prince and she wasn't the princess being trapped by the big bad monster in the big castle.
after she stops crying she decides to get out of the bathtub and head off to bed, as she left the bathroom she imagined happy and natsu were out on the couch eating her food but it was only when they had disappeared she realised her mind was playing games with her. As she sits on her bed she look over at her dresser and saw the letter that natsu left before he went, she kept it so she doesn't forget how much he meant to her. She grabs the letter and pulls it out of the envelope and she decided to not let herself cry as she begins to read it.
'my dear lucy, i love you so much, and it hard for me to write this knowing you'll be home soon as well as how broken you'll be when you read this, but i'm leaving magnolia for sometime and i don't know when i'll be back, but i promise to always protect you with all my will, i love you my dear lucy, natsu xx'
as she reads it she heard her heart break, knowing it can't break anymore, she can't stop the tear leaving her eye, the only tear, she put the letter in it envelop and back on the dresser. she gets changed into her pyjamas to gets into bed and as her head it the pillow she drifted off to sleep.
Times have changed since she left magnolia, she misses her family so much, but is someone out there hearing her wish to be back home. Maybe wishes do come to those who wish hard enough.
