After a breath taking break up with Levy, Gajeel finds out what it really means to loose the one you love... Trying something new please give me feed back ? The story was inspired by Trey Songs 'Pretty Girls Lie' which I inserted in my story.. if you didn't hear the song, please feel free to do so.. and again please leave feed back tell what you think so far!
The Giant wooden doors creaked as I entered to the guild hall. 'Da fuck am I doin here!' It was so hard being there, knowing I wouldn't be greeted by the sweet smile from the bluenette anymore. I made my way to the bar where a smiley Mira waited with a extra large helping of iron and a large glass of beer to wash it down.
As late as it was I didn't want to be at home, being that lily wasn't there and had spent the weekend at some kind of cat retreat at Wendy's with Carla and Happy. I sat down and she placed them both before me. I looked up to meet her gaze and smile as she place her warm hands over mine as if to comfort me. I guess she could read the torment on my face or something. That or she spoke to levy. I sighed, and groaned low under my breath. I guess she took it as a thank you because she nodded and took her leave to continue her duties.
As I sat there nibbling on the hearty helpings, I could hear the commotion taking place behind me as usual.
"Hey you take that back you bag of ice!"
I smirked as I watched natsu smack the life force out of grays bare back. With a high pitched Ah, grey gasped as he lost his breath. He stiffened up like a board and fell backwards out of his seat from the sting of the impact.
" Natsu! What the hell! You didn't have to hit him like that!" Lucy squeaked out trying to recover the dazed gray back in his seat.
" Next time he'll watch what he say about my farts, they don't smell like gasoline and he knows it!"
"Hehe, I swear those son of a bitches are in love."I chuckled to myself and turned back to my iron snack. As the guild doors swung open, I was frozen in mid chew. My body started to tense as I smelled a sent that I tried so hard to forget. Strawberries and honey. My eyes widened as I gulped the remaining iron that was in my mouth. 'Levy...I thought she was on a mission with those idiots.' I closed my eyes and clinched my hands into fists as I tried so hard not to let the lump in my throat form into tears.
Flash back
' "What up shrimp, I can't make any moves until I know what I did to hurtcha."
Levy sighed, " it's nothing Gajeel I just don't wona be bothered right now."
He sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "Look I'm tryin here you just gota bare with me, I ain't good at this romance shit it confuses me. Let me take ya out somewhere... movies, dinner, to the beach for a picnic just the two of us. Come on I ain't seen ya since ya left a week ago for ya mission."
Reaching for her hand, he whispered " levy please I miss..."She snatched her hand away full of remorse as she spat out, "There's someone else Gajeel ok there I said it so...just leave me alone."
Gajeel felt his heart stop as he chocked on his words. "Wh-what...you serious...why...I..."
"I never really loved you gajeel, at first I thought I could but just didn't anymore. I wasn't really on a mission I..."
Gajeel chocked on the lump in his throat as hoarse words hit his lips. "Ya went...to see'em."
She nodded and looked away. "I'm sorry Gaj..."
"Pshaw!" He threw his hand up to stop her talking. "I opened..my heart...let ya in..let my guard down...ya made me happy for once in my life...I was happy!" He watched her as she placed her hand over her mouth. "Levy you were it...I c.." He sighed and looked away realizing that What ever he said now wouldn't change the fact that he was once again a throw away. "I can't... I'm sorry for wastin ya time." Without another word he left towards his apartment.
"Gajeel wait, gajeeeel!" '
"Gajeel? Ga-Gajeel." Soft words ripped me from my memory. A arm wrapped itself around mine and forced my hand to except the one that was willing to touch it. I knew that voice,...bunny?
"Breathe Gajeel breathe." I exhaled not realizing that I was holding my breath. I didn't dare look at her. Another warm hand came up to my face and turn it towards their own. She brought my head down slightly, l open my eyes releasing tears that formed beneath my eyelids. She must have known because she was ready to catch them with a small handkerchief.
'What the fucks the matter with me? I'm sitting here basically in tears over shit that happens everyday. Getting comforted by one of the people I hurt most. I gota be loosin my fuckin mind.'
"It's ok just take a long breath. I'm here for you I'm not going anywhere." 'Da fuck ya ain't!' I thought as I shifted uncomfortably on the stool. As much as I wanted to protest, I didn't want anyone to see me in this weak state so I bared through the thought of someone wasting their time being concerned.
As the guild hall emptied out, it was only the usual crew inside plus Mira that I could smell and 'the bookworm'. 'Ok enough of dis shit!' I groaned to myself as I moved to stand and she removed her hands from my hand and face.
I looked down at those soft brown eyes staring back at me and sighed softening my pained expression and rubbed the top of her head. "I ain't no charity case."
She smirked and took it as a thank you. I walked around the bar and saw levy in the far corner reading her book with a serene look on her face.
My heart dropped into my stomach as I made my way to the large cold stage. Mira figured out what I was about to do and turn on a spot light and dimmed the remaining lights in the guild hall. Grabbing my stashed guitar from a previous performance, I walked to the mic and adjusted it to my hight.
I could feel the heaviness of eyes watching me as I closed mine and took a deep dying breath,brought my mouth to the mic and let my feeling show from 3 weeks of with holding it all.
She grew up without a father
Never knew how to love a man
mmm
She's addicted to breaking hearts and moving on oh lord
So I never really stood a chance noo hoo
And the sparkle in her eyes
They shine so flawless I'm amazed
Blinded by an angel's face oh oh oh
It's the sweetest poison in one kiss
And now you got the venom in your veins
Believing everything her lips say
Pretty girls lie
Lipstick and a smile
Makes you want to believe
But pretty girls hide ohho oh
Pain so deep inside
She can't even see
Pretty girls lie
Pretty girls lie yea
Oo
Got you walking through a maze, yeah
Eyes closed tryin' to find your way oohoo
Got your arm's reached out
Hoping she gon' make a sound
But she don't wanna be found
'Cause she'll tell you come anyway oh oh oohoo
And you don't know the difference
From the real or the fake
Devil in the chest, but an angel in the face
Never ever yours but it's only for today
Is it real when you calling my name?
Pretty girls lie
Lipstick and a smile
Makes you want to believe
But pretty girls hide
Pain so deep inside
She can't even see
Pretty girls lie
I want to give the benefit of the doubt
The best in her I wanna help bring it out
I know something's missing inside
If she let me I can show the proof
Girl there ain't no running from the truth
She says I'll be there
Girl don't just tell me what I wanna hear
Pretty girls lie
Lipstick and a smile
Makes you want to believe
But pretty girls hide
Pain so deep inside
She can't even see
Pretty girls lie
Such a pretty face
She can't find her way
Such a beautiful girl
Lost in the world
Can't trust what she says
After so many break-ups and make-ups in life
Could've been making love and end up in a fight
Oh tell me why
Pretty girls lie
Stepping away from the mic, I put my guitar back where I found it and proceeded to jump down off the stage when I heard the guild door ease open. I look towards the sound and saw levy leave without a second glance.
I groaned low in my throat from the instant pain that formed itself around the place my heart use to be. 'Figures.' I thought as I made my way over to the bar, Mira turned the light back on reveling a gut wrenching sight. Natsu's head buried n grays arm and Gray's head on the bar as they sat, Lucy,Ezra and Mira with hands to their mouths crying.
I stood there in silence as the girls watched me. I huffed and pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Hey stop it I'm fine...I got it out ok.. No water works."
The last thing I need was another sympathetic hand on my shoulder. As I looked up they had come to me and put their arms around my neck, back and chest. I closed my eyes for a brief moment and took it in.
I'm not gonna lie I enjoyed it and needed it, the comfort that is. When they finally let me go. I took all three women's hand and kissed it. They smiled and let me pass them only to be tackled by Natsu and his hideous crying.
"Uuaaaahhhaaahhhuuuuuhhh I'm so sorry man, let me make it better!"
I growled audibly, "what!...god no!... Eww...shit!... Get off... Ok, I get it, I get it!"
"I can help, I'll kiss it better!"
"Oh hell no!" I gulped seeing how serious he was as he leaned in.
I pried him off only for him to latch himself on my arm then on my leg. I stood there with arms crossed and cursed under my breath while grey tried to get him off me. The girls stood back and watched in shock and burst into laughter. I looked back at them with a slight grin on my face until Natsu tackled me to the ground.
"Uhhhaaaaahhuuhaahh! Gajeel aaahhhuuuhhh!"
"What the hell... get off!" I yelled while I struggled to release his grip from my neck. They joined grey scrambling to get Natsu loose. I screamed as I felt my body being dragged across the floor as they pulled Natsu away.
" Natsu let him go crazy bastard!" Lucy screamed as I clawed my way to the door.
"I just wona help him, aaaahaauuhhhoooaaahhhuhh! Let's fight Gajeel let's fight I'll help you!"
"Get off fire for brains!" I shouted feeling his nails sink through fabric around my ankle. When I felt his grip leave my left foot, l bolted for the doors. As I looked back, I saw Ezra cradling him in her armed bust." Ack your chocking me!" Natsu squeeze out. I was finally out of there.
