Past The Point Of No Return

Chapter 1

(Natsu is currently 21, and Lucy is currently 20)

They look into each others eyes, and took in the other's appearance.

They were both breathing heavily, battle scars riddled their bodies from having just won. Their opponents lay knocked out on the ground, far away from them, obviously not getting up anytime soon. The skies above started to gather dark clouds as if to foreshadow that something bad was about to happen. But even though they just finish their mission and should be cheering they just stood there, staring at one another. You could hear their ragged breaths and gasps for air after finally getting a break. But their minds were not thinking the same thing. Flashbacks of their previous drunken heated up moments flashed across the male's mind and a look of lust appeared on his face. You could see the fire in his eyes as he stared at his "prey". His onyx eyes sparkled in the moonlight as he stared at his best friend. His Lucy.

But that look of lust and desire wasn't mimicked on her face. She bared a face of hurt and anger. A look of disappointment and betrayal flashed across her eyes as well. He couldn't understand it, "Why does she look like that? Doesn't she feel the same way? Why isn't she looking at me the way I'm looking at her? Why does her face look like she got hurt? Did she get hurt badly during the fight?" These thoughts snapped him back into reality.

"Hey Luce, you alright?" He asked curiously. But this "innocent" question just swelled up anger in her.

"No. No Natsu I am not 'alright'. I'm anything BUT alright. That look that you give towards me... Towards my body. I-I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! We JUST finished a battle and you look at me like I'm your next plate of food! And what's even worse is that..." She hesitated... Tears start to form in her beautiful doe brown eyes... Her eyes that always shined with such happiness and grace now clouded. She says her next sentence with a pained look on her face, as though she had to force herself to choke out the next few words, " What's even worse... Is that you are with her." She stared at the ground as she continued to spit out these next words, finding more interest in the dirt around them rather than Natsu himself. "You are in a relationship. You are dating your childhood best friend, and... And you still think that I'm someone that you can fuck anytime you want!? Like I'm some skank you'd found off the street?! I'm not some whore that you can pay off so that they will keep their mouth shut. I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND NATSU. Or was anyway. You are not Natsu Dragneel. You are not MY Natsu. The Natsu Dragneel that I knew would NEVER try to take advantage of me, my body, or anyone for that matter. My Natsu... Doesn't even seem to exist anymore... Or at least disappears when we are alone. I can't go on like this anymore Natsu. Not when this new Natsu is always lingering in the corners wait to come out once Lisanna leaves." Tiny drops of water fell down to the cold hard ground. Her words cut through him like a hot knife going through butter. She knew that. She knew that what she saying was tearing him up inside, but she needed to let it out. If she stopped now she knew she would never continue uttering the words that have been burned into the back of her mind. Never letting her completely rest, since it was like a ghost. Haunting her.

"I can't just go around thinking about you. When I'm about to go to sleep, you should not be what I think about to have a good dream. YOU ARE NOT WHAT SHOULD BE IN MY MIND DAY AND NIGHT WHEN I KNOW YOU ARE NOT MINE TO THINK ABOUT!" The longer she spoke the louder she got, by the end she was screaming at the top of her lungs. Tears started to fall down her face as she continued on and the weather seemed to match her mood. The clouds decided to join her in sobbing as if someone was ripping out her heart, and to her, what she was doing was coming pretty damn close. Especially since she was revealing how she felt about their rather forbidden situation. "AND I CAN'T BE THINKING THIS IS JUST A CHARADE YOU'RE PUTTING UP, ABOUT GOING OUT WITH LISANNA! I CAN'T JUST TRICK MYSELF INTO THINKING THAT SHE IS EVIL, MEAN, AND CRUEL, BECAUSE SHE IS NOT! SHE IS SWEET AND NICE AND CONSIDERATE BUT I CANT HELP THINKING THIS WAY AND I HATE IT! I HATE THAT I THINK THIS WAY!" She was now visibly shaking. It was a sad sight, because it looked like heaven's purest angel was falling from her place up in the sky. She was breaking right before his eyes and he couldn't do anything about it. Its horribly ironic really. He always said he would never make her cry, and that he would hurt anyone that did and here he was... A douche that made his beautiful, sweet, and caring best friend cry. He is a jerk. "I HATE... I HATE... I hate..." Her body shook with every loud wail that tore itself from her throat to fill the dreadful air. The grey clouds showed no mercy and started pouring down on us without any restrictions.

"... Luce? W-What are you sayi-"

"YOU DO NOT GET TO CALL ME THAT ANYMORE!"

"Luc-... Lucy.. What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying..." She took a deep breath and finally looked up from the dirt to look him straight in the eye. "I'm saying I'm done with your bullshit. Goodbye Natsu."

Hello! I am really sorry for not updating my stories often at all and sadly just like the others, updates will be rather scattered few and far between... My life is not making it easy to do the things I love to do, BUT HEY ITS NOW SUMMER! I've had a lot of inspiration for this story so the next chapter should be out relatively soon (the majority of it has already been typed). Also in terms of content, the size of this chapter is about what people should expect when reading a new chapter. But my excuses aside... Thank you so much for reading my story and I hope you have a wonderful day/night. (Review are always appreciated) Until next time... 3
