It was the only option for me, I swear. No one would ever listen. The pain, the deep, deep pure agony that ripped through my heart would never go away. I waited. I waited for years for it to go. But every time I felt better, or even a little happy, the image of him twirling her around with a joyful smile on his face burned right through that. I never thought I would be left here, alone. While they lived their happy lives. I left the guild for it, left all my friends. I traveled. I learned new things. But I could never get over him. Nobody ever tried to be my friend. I was alone, and useless. My spirits even went away, as my magic eventually faded into nothing along with my happiness. Eventually I couldn't do it anymore. So I went back, just one last time. Saw the guild hall, so full of life. Grays and Juvias children running around, playing with Erzas. Natsu laughing at something she was saying. He looked up, our gazes meeting briefly. His face registered shock. My eyes brimming with tears. No, I couldn't do this. It was too much. I turned, running toward the park. I could hear feet hammering on the ground behind me, but I never looked back. I went straight to the bridge, quickly climbing on top. I couldn't let him change my mind, or say anything before I could do this. I couldn't let myself go through that. I deserved that at least. I heard him calling my name, surprise and anguish in his voice. His voice was echoed by my old friend's voices. But they couldn't stop me. I closed my eyes, and allowed myself to drop.
