Drip. A single tear flowed out of Lucy's eyes, followed by more of its grouped rushing down her cheeks. Soft sobs escaped her mouth, hiccups standing in line just behind. She sat in her fully dark apartment, curled up beside her bed. Her blonde hair was cascading messily on her sides, her usually cheerful hazel orbs now shone a dull color of tears. She could hear faint sounds of fireworks from her window, which told her that the festival had just ended. She didn't care. She used to love fireworks, love festivals, but this one was all screwed up, thanks to a certain blonde dragon slayer.

Sting Eucliffe, along with some other Sabertooth members, joined Fairy Tail after the Grand Magic Games threeyears ago. With Fairy Tail back on the top of the guild charts, Jiemma decided to disband Sabertooth and disappeared with no trace. Not knowing where to go, Fairy Tail welcomed their members with open hearts, and not long after, Sting and Lucy had gone out. There were some complications at first, including Natsu, Gray and even Loke to actually disagree with their relationship. But after a few convincing from Lucy, and a few huge knocks on the head from yours truly Erza Scarlet, they managed to live with the fact.

But then, Minerva came to Fairy Tail, and that was when Lucy's world turned up side down. Sting, who supposedly used to have feelings for Minerva, began to spend more time with the latter compared to Lucy. He started ignoring her, not returning her calls. He did not even bother to drop by her apartment daily, like how he used to do. Then it was that night at the festival that Sting told Lucy they should break up. Why? Because he didn't really have that kind of feelings for Lucy. He went out with her just to keep his minds off a certain dark-haired woman. And that was how she ended curled up in her room like this.

Knock knock. Lucy looked straight up when she heard knocks on her door. She rushed to it and swing it wide open, hoping to see an apologetic Sting standing in front of her, but was a bit disappointed when she saw Erza instead.

''Lucy, may I come in?'' Erza asked carefully, looking at her tear-streaked face and disappointed expression. She clearly was expecting someone, but not her.

Lucy gave a small nod and stepped to the side a little, letting Erza enter her apartment. When she closed the door, she slid to her knees and cried out loud, silently cursing herself for thinking that the idiot white dragon slayer would appear at her doorstep. He must be enjoying his time with Minerva at the festival, not spending his time to come over to her house and apologize. Then she felt warm hands embracing her, Erza's to be exact, she was patting her head while asking what's the matter with her, like an elder sister comforting her younger sibling. Slowly, she told the whole ordeal with Sting and Minerva to the red-head who listened attentively, not interrupting even once. When she was done, the scarlet-haired woman smiled knowingly at Lucy, then told her a plan in her mind. Lucy has some revenge to do, anyway.

THE NEXT DAY (T^T)

The usual rowdy Fairy Tail was up in the morning, where on one side some half-naked guy and a fire-breathing dragon slayer was busy arguing with each other and on the other, some other members were quarreling or fighting as usual. But someone was missing, to be exact some people were missing. A certain white-haired bartender, the scarlet-haired mage, the celestial mage, and the 'drinking queen' to be more peculiar. Then all of a sudden, there was a strum of guitar, coming from the stage, to where the whole guild's undivided attention were headed to. On stage was the four missing mages in the guild, each having their own instruments ready. Cana was on the drums, Erza on bass guitar, while Mira and Lucy were on electric guitars.

''STING EUCLIFFE!'' Lucy shouted into the mike set in front of her, startling the said mage from his conversation with Minerva, ''This one's for you, you bastard.'' At the end of her statement, Cana started to beat on the drums while the others started playing their instruments too.

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?

Lucy didn't know why exactly he chose Minerva over her. Their relationship was smooth, they rarely have arguments. It was as if they loved each other, truly. It was the two of them against the world, and nothing could stop them. Was it something she did, that made Sting still think of Minerva? Or was it something Sting always said to Minerva, then said it to Lucy, that made her so unforgettable?

Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

Lucy hated cliffhangers. She wanted to know the truth. Why. Why must it be her that he played with? There are tons of other girls in the guild. Why her? What did she do against him that he hated her to the extend of toying with her, merely using her feelings to his advantage?

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

She thought she knew him, she thought they would have the perfect happy ending. She thought their lives were intertwined in a fairytale . He was everything to her. Her charming prince, her knight, her everything. Why didn't it turn out well then? All the memories of them together flashed in front of her eyes, slowly fading into hollow darkness. All this pretending that he did, it gave her false hope. So much for happy ever afters.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they

But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

She had heard some things around. Many ex-Sabertooth members told Sting that I'm no good, that I'm trouble, that weak and pathetic. But they don't even know her, what gives them the right to judge her? She wasn't even sure they knew Sting all so well. There are things people hide from others, they may not know Sting from the inside. So what right do they have?

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one

It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

The tears that had gathered in Lucy's eyes trickled one by one down her cheek as she stared into Sting's dark orbs. She used to love getting lost staring into them, but now her own orbs stared hard into his, burning with hatred. She was serious with him, yet he was only playing around with her. They were done. Over. Nothing left between them. Nothing but burnt memories.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

By the end of the song, Lucy could see some Fairy Tail members glaring at Sting, as if trying to kill him with their glares. But she didn't care. She bolted out of the guild after unplugging her guitar. She found herself locked up in her apartment, sobbing out her frustrations. They were over. Nothing left. There are no happy endings. No happy ever afters. Just her, and the comforting sadness.

Serena's Talking Corner: Heya all! Sorry for the depressing fic yet again. I was kinda annoyed that the main storyline of the manga was delayed for TWO WHOLE WEEKS by side-stories, so the inspiration to write a one-sided fic came up! I kinda like StiCy, but Sting is so mean! I'm glad Natsu beat his ass in the tournament, cheers for Natsu! Anyways, was it good? Is there any mistakes? Is there anything I should change? I wouldn't bite someone for criticizing my story! Cookies for those who reviewed, favourited and followed my previous one-shot 'Back to December'. Thank you very much! So Sere-chan's out for the day and thanks for reading once again!
