Lucy stared at the photo on her cellphone. Tears poured down her cheeks. She didn't know why she was crying. She knew it was happening. She knew all along, but now that the proof was in her hands, it hurts. It hurts to see his hand holding another woman's. It hurts to see his lips pressed against hers, a smile clearly on his face. He looks so happy...
Lucy's boyfriend, Natsu Dragneel, had always promised her he'd be there for her. Only her. Another promise broken, another heart shattered, another cut to the wrist.
Lucy stared at the blood as it trickled across her skin and dropped onto the bedroom floor.
Again.
The cut was deeper, and the blood oozed out of her skin quicker and quicker.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
She stopped slicing her delicate skin open for a split second and noticed the real damage she had done. Blood was pouring from her wrist, and she felt herself losing conciousness. Lucy dialed her best friend's number, and when she didn't answer, Lucy stared at the screen bankly. She called the man who had caused all of this, the man she loved.
He didn't answer either.
Lucy pulled up her voicemail and clicked change. She knew they would call back.
But it would be too late when they did.
XXXXX
Natsu pushed Lisanna off of him for the last time. This little game had been fun at first. But lately he realized something. He didn't love this girl. He didn't even like her. He loves Lucy.
She's the one always caring for him, the one making him smile when he feels like he's about to cry...
Natsu stepped outside when he realized he had missed a call from the blonde. He threw a note that read "It's over" at Lisanna. The pinkette listened to the rings until finally, it went to voicemail.
And this is what he heard.
If this is Levy, I'm sorry. If this is Natsu, I know what you did. I'm not here anymore. I forgive you. I'm sorry it ended up this way. I still love you.
The beep echoed in his mind as his car stopped in front of their apartment. Natsu began to quiver in fear as he opened the door.
I'm not here anymore. Had she left him?
Natsu seen her stuff still there and smiled Not yet she hasn't. He stepped into their bedroom and immediately was on edge. Something wasn't right...
Natsu looked around and walked over to the closet. Something was behind it... The room reaked of Iron.
Natsu opened the door and watched in horror as his girlftiend fell over. She stared up at him. Blood surrounded her in a puddle. Natsu scooped the girl up in his arms and shook her.
"Lucy! Lucy... I-I... I'm sorry, b-baby..."
Lucy blinked weakly as she continued to look up at him. Natsu's whole body shook as he dialed 911 and immediately got an ambulance. He rocked her back and forth slowly, whispering his apologies to her, over and over.
When the ambulance arrived, they immediately began to transfer blood back into Lucy. Her head kept tilting back and forth as she went in and out of consciousness.
"What happened to her, Mr. Dragneel?"
"Sh-She... It's my fault."
"What did you do?"
"I fucked up. I cheated on the love of my life... and now she's dying."
"Well... You're right about one thing. She could die any moment, but you're wrong about her being the love of your life. If she was, you two would be happy. She wouldn't be here, now would she?"
"I-I... I'm s-sorry!"
"Don't apologize to me."
The doctor bandaged the cuts and finished transferring the blood. Lucy woke up slowly, staring at the roof of the ambulance.
"Apologizd to her."
