Remember Me
(AU - Story)
Chapter 2

IMPORTANT NOTE

If you can't handle tragedy, or are sensitive around this kind of things, don't read.
I have warned you though, so if you get scarred.. it's not my fault.

Why? Why her? Why couldn't it been me instead?

" Charging 200 volt, clear! ", the sound of the the volts hitting the body on the cold metal plate wagon echoed in the operation hall, as masked men and women was surrounding the bloody weak pulsed body with the lifeless blonde hair. The eyes was closed, as the sound of the machine's hard wheezing signed the heart wasn't beating still. " Charging 300 volt, clear! ", the voice from the left side of the metal wagon shouted out again, as the lifeless body jerked upwards again, and the machine's wheezing died out, giving instead a soft tone of beeps, telling this time they had heart rhythm. " We have heart rhythm , people, good work. ", the voice said again, as some of they all sighed out, relief washing of their face expressions, as the operation could continue once again.

The time went by behind those swing doors to the operation hall where Lucy now was laying, heart rhythm, but not a single sign of movement yet. The pinkette himself was sitting in the waiting room, grabbing the head times over, while the fingers tugged the short hair of his in anger and frustration, part of that he was the reason his team mate had ended up on the hospital and was right now fighting for her own life behind those doors, each minute as seconds passed by.
" .. I sho-ould ha-ad dri-ive in to-o the-e nea-are-est mo-otel .. why-y di-did I fe-ell asle-eep? Why-y? ", the whimpering voice of the salmonette was the only sound you could hear , except from the fan's low buzzing attached to the high ceiling above him. " .. Lucy please .. be alri-ight ..", he begged for himself, eyes blood shot of the lack of sleep as the rested on the operation's swing doors.

Suddenly the doors swung up, as a white dressed male looked around the waiting room, before his dark blue eyes landed on the horrible conditioned salmonette. With only three firm and long steps, he stopped right in front of him, as the green blood shot emeralds to eyes looked up, met those dark blue in silence. " Mr. Dragion. ", the doctor said, as the salmonette flinched a bit, but flied up from the chair, grabbing the hands of the other male in front of him at the same time, while the eyes got larger then it had been a second ago. " Ho-ow i-is sh-he?! "

The doctor got taken back by a shock of the sudden reaction the salmonette had done in front of him, as he cleared the throat and swallowed , the dark blue eyes closed for a moment, before they got revealed again, giving off the 'doctor look', which was hard enough to know if he had bad or good news, something even cops sometimes had when it was something very serious they needed to talk about. " Mr. Dragion ", the doctor said again, as he signed softly. " The operation vent by well, we lost her once but could constantly get her heart back on track again,she still hasn't woken up yet, but her head got a rough hit when she crashed into the driving window's front, and in the rough fall slammed in some way also the head again when she hit the car hood, which also caught and stopped her from falling even more. She had lost much blood, so we had to give at least five bags, but her heart is beating, and she is okay for now. " , he finished, as a long silence followed the end of his words. Natsu was deeply in thoughts, as the words from the doctor slowly sunk into his head piece by piece, before he suddenly broke the silence with one question he had begged deep inside for so long to be able to get answer on this time since they both had arrived to the hospital, he with mayor small bruises of glasses cutting his skin, part of his air bag had activated and stopped mostly the damage he could had got if he didn't had it, like Lucy.

" ... Ca-an I se-ee he-her? "

The dark blue eyes reflected something for a moment, before the lips broke to a tiny smile, as he nodded. " Yes of course .. follow me, Mr. Dragion. ", he replied back, turning on the feet, as he walked off to the elevator, pressing the button on the side, as the salmonette followed tight by, the legs trembling like he always did outside the car, but this trembling was still a after shock from what had happened him and Lucy that late evening.

Because it was well another day? Wasn't it?

Natsu didn't know anymore. If he had passed a week or not, he still couldn't even think or count it out, because all his heart and brain screamed was to see Lucy, be by her side , hear her laughing , see her smiling in that cute way she never shows anyone to , then him, hear her voice calling his name once again, seeing those golden orbs watching him in silence while he was repairing the car, or the way she looked at him when he was driving and ..

The sound of her scream suddenly echo inside his head just he thought about driving or seeing his car with her beside him. Whimpering low as he stepped into the elevator together with the doctor, the salmonette hugged himself to calm down. Her scream had been so filled with fear, shock, a heart ripping one which hurt him deep inside just by remembered it.

" .. We are here.. Room 401. Good Luck Mr. Dragion. ", the doctor said, as he gave a soft push on the back of the salmonette, which stumbled forwards , as he spun around, still trembling in worry and fear of the suddenly memory from the crash he had been in with Lucy. " .. Doc- ", he stuttered out, but the elevator's doors shut themselves and continued upwards, leaving him all alone on the fifth floor. " .. Room 401 .. ", he mumbled low for himself, as he watched each room's door number he passed, before stopped at one. " .. Room 401 .. ", he whispered this time, swallowed hard, before pushed down the handle of the room's door down and stepped in together with the pulse pounding hard in his ears.

The room was simple, carrying a tone of old fashioned, but still had some updates from the century they was in still. The faint light from the little lamp on the night desk beside the bed close to the window across the room caught his eyes. There she was. Wires and hoses attached to her nose as arm pit exposed how pale she actually was right now. Dark bags below the closed eyelids exposed lack of sleep, but also something else he knew about - Blood lost. The low buzzing from the machine, together with the soft beeps from the heart monitor, Natsu forced his legs to move forwards, as he reached the nearest pulled chair beside the bed, the heart still pounding inside his ears, blocking out mostly of the other sounds he could hear before.

It was his fault she was here, in this bed, in this state.
If he only had pulled in for a motel over the night ..
If he only hadn't fell asleep behind the wheel .. If he ..

His hands trembled softly together with the rest of his body, as they grabbed hold of her pale one, squeezing it softly, together with his other hand's fingers stroking away some of the blonde bangs from the eyelids and forehead of hers. " Lu-ucy .. I-I'm .. so-oo.. so-orry .. ", his words was low, while the eyes filled up with salty tears, which fell down the cheeks of his, some even landed on his paled hand he was holding. " .. Lu-ucy ple-ease .. wa-ake u-up .. I .. I lo-ove .. y...o-ou .. "

The eyelids suddenly fluttered open, as the blonde suddenly sat right up with a loud gasp, the widen golden eyes looked around the room with fear and confusion reflecting inside them, as her lips trembled. Natsu's ears picked up the loud familiar gasp as his eyelids fluttered open, the tears filled up the view once again, as his arms slammed around the blonde's neck, not even thinking of he would pay for that later. " LUCY! THA-ANK GO-OD YO-OUR ALRI-IGHT! ", he whined out, but something was wrong.

The blonde froze of the pinkette's suddenly movement , as the hands trembled , while the voice together with the eyes still reflection fear and confusion, the pinkette froze and pulled back just to look at his best friend in shock , wondered if she actually was joking with him right now. " Lu-ucy-san.. ? "

" .. Who are you, and who is Lucy? "
