"Did you hear that she was the one who saved Fairy Tail?"

"Yeah, but I doubt she did it herself. I mean she always needs saving."

"Ain't that right?"

"Her magic does rely on others, doesn't it?"

I guess if they look at it that way, they are right. I did get help from the Celestial King by killing Aquarius...

I look at myself in the mirror, recalling the whispers I heard as I went throughout Magnolia. Tears are streaking down my face, my hair is sticking up in places I've never seen before, and there are bags under my eyes.

I never meant to break her key... Oh Mavis...Please forgive me if I ever see you again, Aquarius. I don't know what I would do if you wouldn't forgive me.

I get up away from my vanity and lay down on my bed. I look up at the blank colored ceilings, and wonder if I would ever see Aquarius again.

"Minna... Why did you leave me? Didn't you say you'd always be here for me? I at least thought you'd say goodbye to me. Am I so useless to not be considered their nakama anymore? Did you guys even wonder what I sacrificed to save you? Nope. You just left... Like everyone else does." I manage to say without sobbing... too much. I grab my pillow as the whispers come back to me.

"I think they were just covering up for her like they always do. Just to make it seem like all their members are as powerful."

"Almost everyone in that guild has had something tragic happen to them, except for her."

"You know nothing about me! Just stop already! Please!"

"She's just a ditzy blonde who knows nothing."

"Did you hear that she was left all by herself?"

"Please stop it! NO MORE!" I yell out as I grip my head trying to make them stop. Tears everywhere on my face. I hear a door open and I throw my blanket over my head. I feel a tug, someone's trying to take it off.

"Just go away... Whoever is there." I mumble. This time the tug is more than a tug and the blanket is now off me. I quickly close my eyes and bury my face into my pillow.

"Natsu, what do you want?"

"If you'd look at me, you'd know I wasn't Natsu." says an all too familiar voice.

"Go away Gray. Just leave... Me again." I say mumbling the last part.

"I'm not going to go away until you tel me what's wrong. I can't help y-"

"Who says I want help from you?! Or from anybody for that matter!" I say yelling as I throw the pillow on the floor of my room. I open my eyes to see Gray's shocked expression. I continue on my rant and say, "Where were you or anybody when I needed you the most?! Gone... All gone! Did you know that only Wendy and Charle said goodbye to me in person?! I have been there for everyone and no one was there for me when it counted the most , except for my spirits! Gosh, no one even asked me how I saved everyone from likely death! NO ONE!" I say with all my pent up rage. He looks at me with a guilt-ridden face and opens his mouth to say something, but only to close soon after.

"You should just leave Gray." I say muttering the last part. I watch as he turns his back to me before he looks back at me and says, "Gomen nasai, Lucy. I guess I should've said goodbye... I never meant to hurt you. He, Natsu, told me he would pass on my bye. But it turns out he left you and never passed it on." He closes the door and I cry out.

"I just wanted you to be there for me." whispering out to him. He opens the door and runs back to me.

"Lucy, I didn't want to leave you, but our love wasn't meant to be... You love Nat-"

"No, I don't... I have always loved you, Gray Fullbuster." I whisper iterrupting him once again. "Please just listen. I haven't told anyone yet. I feel that I can I tell you without you telling anyone else."

"Okay. I wasn't here for you before, but now I am. Let it out, Lucy." he says as I tell him everything.
