Prologue
Authors note at the end (;
Today was the day. Today was the day that Natsu Dragneel was going to propose to Lucy Heartfilla. He had it all planned out in the living room of the apartment the two shared. There was rose petals across the floor and on the tables, A candle lit dinner in the dinning room, and slow jazz playing in the background (yes this was cheesy but he tried his best) He noticed she was running a bit late but not that much, 20 minutes later he decided to call her because he was getting impatient and hungry and those two don't mix when it comes to Natsu
"Hello?" said Lucy as he heard honking and muffled noises in the background assuming she was driving
" Hey Luce are you on your way home I have a surprise for you" he said nonchalantly.
" Ya I am sorry, I got held up at work. But aside from that, what did you say about a surprise?" she questioned.
" Oh just a small surprise I have for you. Nothing special".
"Oh really that means you can tell me if its not that big" she tried to pry but he wasn't going to give in.
"Well it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you so I'd rather not".
" Oh come on! not even a little hint?" she exclaimed.
" Oh no Lu-cy I- se-ms You- brea-king-up" he pretended as he was using his mouth to make static noises.
" Natsu Dragneel don't-"
"Bye Lucy I'll see you later!" as he hanged up but not without saying " I love you" and hearing her say the same to.
Little did he know...that would be the last time he would sat those three words to her.
One Week Later
Today was the Funeral
He didn't want to go at all honestly. It will just make his nightmare an actual reality. But it was like his body was moving on its own and by time he knew it he was dressed in a black suit and a almost dead like expression. He slipped on some random shoes not caring if it matched or not with the suit, grabbed his keys, and left to go face reality.
When he got there it was like all eyes were on him. The usual go lucky guy everyone seemed to know and love was replaced with a monotonous robot with a emotionless face. He walked to where the service was and took his seat in the front row next to Lucy's work friends his friends and some families who cared deeply for the girl. I mean who wouldn't care for her. She was so kindhearted yet sassy, So carefree but so fragile I felt the need to protect her from everything now thinking about it I was a very protective boyfriend over the 5 years we were dating. Funny how I never thought about these things when we were dating but now shes gone all the nostalgia is coming back at full force hitting me like a truck. A few minutes people were starting their speeches about how much they missed the bubbly blonde and what seemed like hours later it was his turn to speak. He was silent as he got up from his chair and wet on to the small platform where Jude was looking as stern as ever but in his eyes anybody would see sadness. As he stepped onto the pedestal he started.
"Lucy Heartfilla was one of the most beautiful, wisest, kindhearted , selfless and most importantly loving person I have ever met in my life. The day she got in the accident was the day I was planning on proposing to her" I stated trying hard not to choke up.
I heard gasps and sobs in the audience but I continued
"That day I wanted everything to be perfect. I had her favorite meals cooked not by me of course" I chuckled " I had help from Mira" I gently smiled at her in the audience she just smiled sadly. "Heck I even played smooth jazz to set the mood, I called her saying how I had a surprise for her she kept on prying and prying for me to tell her what it was but I kept my ground. Before I hanged up I said to her I love you and it warmed my heart when she said the same back. I don't want to say any more about that day but rather how we will all miss her. She was the love the love and light of my life and when she died it was like a part of me died. I could see one little thing that can relate to her and a burst of memories would come through like how I asked her to be my girlfriend in front of Times Square on Christmas 5 years ago or when We were playing pranks on teachers back in high school. I need to end this before I become a sobbing mess. Lucy Heartfilla Rest In peace and I loved you so much and I still do now, thank you for being the light in my life when I was in total darkness, thank you for being there for me when I thought i was all alone and finally thank you for loving a man like me I never knew what I did to deserve you but whatever it was I'm happy I did it". And with that I went back to my seat as people clapped. When I was seated they started to lower the casket into the ground where Lucy would stay forever. After that the funeral ended as people placed flowers on her grave giving silent prayers wishing for her to rest in peace. When they were gone I went up to her grave and placed a few acacias them being her favorite then with that I left because no more words could be said except for "I miss you"
When I got to our apartment turned the keys in the doorknob and walked in and as soon as I closed the door
I broke down and that's when I knew...I was about to start my stages.
Authors note
Okay that was the prologue I hoped everyone enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it. I apologize for any grammatical errors I may have made I'm not that good at writing but I wanted to try something new.
Please give feedback because I feel as if I rushed this chapter but this is the Prologue and the main story is far more detailed and in depth on Natsu's and Lucy's relationship and the aftermath or any other key points I missed or want to include
I will try to update asap but it may take some time because I want to make it Extremely Amazing next chapter
but for the mean time I hope you enjoyed this and stay tune for the next chapter ...Denial
