Note: I'm bad at promising... Yeah XD

While I was riding the taxi, the really boring and silent taxi, I stared outside and hoped for something to come up, like a phone call or a commotion on the road or something like that just to break the really awkward silence. And indeed, something did come up. But it wasn't something I was happy and hoping for. It was something I became nervous and shocked of. I received a call, not a prank call or a wrong call, but a call from someone I once had a relationship. Natsu Dragneel.

"So, did you miss me?" He asked. There wasn't a sarcastic or an angry tone and he was speaking to me calmly.

"Natsu, we need to talk. We need to clear things out," I said with my feet and hands shaking because of nervousness. While I was saying all those to the phone, two questions only came up to my mind. Is he gonna ignore me? Or is he gonna talk to me?

He didn't answer, but he was still on the line. I could hear the radio from the other side and I could hear his voice from the other side. He was talking to someone, like his bodyguard or something.

"Natsu?"

"Lucy…"

"We need to talk," We both said together at the same time. We said things at the same time… It's like those moments in love stories where the lovers say things at the same time and they turn out to be together eventually. It's kinda cute, but sometimes it might just be a coincidence. Just a coincidence…

"Oh! If you wanna talk, we could always go to the park, at the usual spot! Hahaha!" Natsu laughed. His laugh was still the same. It's in the same way and it's still refreshing, as always.

"Wouldn't it be awkward? People are going to see us and maybe, it would ruin your career. Can't we just go to another place?" I asked nervously, with my cheeks flushed red.

He ended the call immediately and didn't answer my question. The nerve of that guy! Ending and dropping the call without even answering the question. But that's just like Natsu. When conversations become more climactic, or when conversations get to be more sensitive to him, he tends to cut it off and either start a new topic or just go away and drop it all.

"We're already at the park," The driver said.

"Thanks. Here's the payment." I gave the payment to him and hopped off the taxi and looked around the park to see if Natsu was there.

The park where I am now is the same place we broke up. The place is located on top of a cliff or a hill. It's an old park and it's been here since the 90's and it only has a tree, three benches, one slide, and two swings. But it's a pretty big park and you could smell nature in it. Though it's kinda old, many people mostly couples, still go here and talk about their lives. It's a nice place, more if it's Spring or Autumn, since the tree becomes really vibrant during these seasons. It's also a good place to go stargazing at night since it's on top of a hill.

There were people in the park when I arrived. But as predicted, most of them were couples. One couple was busy kissing under the tree, another couple both read books together, and another couple was just playing together. It's awkward. Since all of them are couples and suddenly, a single person like me breaks in and that's gonna be like… really embarrassing.

Natsu wasn't in sight. He wasn't under the tree. He wasn't on the slide and he wasn't swinging. He's not in the park, simply saying. So I went to our usual spot. It's a small hut that used to be very nice to stay. Natsu and I would just sit there and have a little chat. You could call it our meeting place but after a strong storm brewed in town, it was broken and jagged and people don't go to it anymore.

"N-Natsu?" I saw a guy wearing a long sleeved polo and tight jeans with his sunglasses and snapback cap backwards so I wasn't sure if it was him.

"You arrived! I didn't know you would actually come," He chortled. It really was him. He still has that awesome charm on him, the charm to get you blush because of just his smile or laugh or movements. It's still him, after all…

"I see… Your voice… It became deeper," I said to him. It made him smile to the eyes and… and… it's cute… cuter, to be specific.

"You see, my manager was really pushing me to train my voice for shows and movies, so this is the product of all that. I see that you also became a bit… smaller," He snickered. If it wasn't for his smile and if it wasn't for that break up, I would have smacked him right now.

"Did the people over there see you?" I asked.

"No. That's why I wore my snapback and sunglasses, so that they won't notice that it's me. Awesome, right? Plus I made myself a bit hideous when I arrived here so they didn't really give a damn about me," He explained, while adjusting both his snapback and his sunglasses.

"But that's not enough. I was even able to see through all that. If you're going to disguise yourself, you need to have an old school get up. You know, large shirt and slacks combo. That would make an awesome disguise, especially for you."

"Eew… You know I hate old school and I hate being unattractive. I guess this will do so no need to suggest anymore. Anyways, this will be our last chat so I don't have to disguise any longer," He said, giving me a shock. He said it seriously and he had this straightforward expression and you could see that he wasn't joking about it at all.

"Okay… So what are we gonna talk about? Umm… You can start first since I can say mine later. What do you wanna say?" I asked, pretending that I was okay. But I wasn't. Deep inside, I'm hurt of what he said. That this would be our last conversation. It's sad, and it's… unexpected at all.

We sat on the grass, and looked at the view of the city and there we started the conversation.

"I actually have a girlfriend now. I didn't tell anyone about it since it would create a controversy and I only said it to you to end this. End this relationship we had. End all the sufferings and pain. End our rollercoaster ride," he said, while flowing out some tears.

"Really!" I acted like I was happy for him but it's the totally the other way around and I tried to stop myself from pouring it out. "So who is it?"

"You're not mad? You're happy about it?" He asked.

"Of course. Why would I be mad? I've got no reason to be mad, right? And who am I to be mad, after all? I'm happy for you. I hope that your relationship would turn out… well," I said with a smile on my face, but I wasn't happy at all. I'm not mad but I'm like crestfallen. It's really something depressing. It's really, really heartbreaking for me.

"You're joking… I can tell Lucy. That smile on your face is not the smile of happiness. It's a smile that's showing another emotion. So tell me the truth. Are you mad about it? Are you really happy about it?" His tears kept on running down his cheek and he was biting his lip.

"What's wrong with my smile? I'm not faking here and I'm really happy for you." It's hard to pretend, sometimes because feelings really would get in the way and it might just ruin it all. "So who's the lucky girl?"

"She's also an actor, like me. We became close because we were the protagonists in a movie. A romance movie. She's really pretty and she's—"

"You weren't in any romance movie. Natsu, I know almost everything about your career. About how you never wanted to be in any romance movies or shows. About how you're always in action, adventure and comedy movies. About how some of the other actors hate you because you're such an attention whore." Thanks to Levy, I knew all that. She's really a big fan, isn't she?

"Oh yeah… I forgot. We met in a horror movie. She was the antagonist back there and I was a supporting character and—"

"Which horror movie? You only did one horror movie and the antagonist there wasn't a girl. It's a monster and we all know that it's a guy who's under that monster costume," I said, debunking every lie he said. He's such a bad liar, right?

"Enough! I have a girlfriend right now and I forgot when and where we've me so shut it," He snarled, with a frown on his face and his vexed expression.

"Fine. You have a girlfriend and you forgot where you guys met. It's awesome. Totally awesome." That was obviously sarcasm. It's not awesome, really.

"Okay, so I've said what I wanted to say. That I already have someone I love and cherish. So, you can say yours now," He said in a calm tone. That was easy for him to shift expressions. From that really annoyed and mad expression to a calm one, whoa…

"Umm… where do I even start?"

This is the moment. The moment I've been waiting for two years. I'm finally saying to him my feelings, my true feelings. But I don't know where to start? There are just so many things I wanna say to him that I can't even decide what to say first. It's like picking what dress to buy? It's hard… And I mean really hard.

"Natsu, can you explain it to me?" I asked, with my nervousness almost dominating over me.

"What do I need to explain to you? I already explained myself that day. Didn't you understand all those?" He asked, with a bit of an angry tone.

"Please…"

"Fine. As you can remember, we were prom dates. We danced all night long, we really had fun and it was the best night of our lives. The night ended at exactly twelve midnight and some went to the afterparty. I was one of those people who went to that party. At first, I thought that it's gonna be like a normal party, but it wasn't…" He stopped and looked at the setting sun. "It was a wild party. People went drunk and they all became crazy, literally crazy. They forced me to drink so I got drunk as well. I didn't know what happened next."

"What about the girl?" I asked.

"By the moment I woke up, I found myself in her room half naked. She was lying next to me and she was also half naked. She said to me that we made love and I removed her from her virginity that night and that I made her…" He stopped again and sobbed.

I wiped his tears with my handkerchief and patted him.

"Is it true?" I asked, while wiping his tears.

He removed his sunglasses and held both my hands. His hands were warm and his eyes were watery but it's still sexy. He stared at me, with those coal-black eyes and caressed my cheek, with his warm hands. We both stared at each other then suddenly, he leaned his forehead to mine.

"Lucy, you know Lisanna and she would do anything just to ruin our relationship. Of course, she lied. Yes, it's true that we did that thing that night but about that pregnancy part, she made it all up. She even started that rumor. And you know why, because she wanted us to part ways," He whispered, with our foreheads leaning on each other.

"How do you know?" I asked and shoved him off.

"What kind of pregnant girl would have a flat belly after six months? At first, I thought that it was true that I really made her a woman and that I made her pregnant but… it was too late for me to realize that." He stopped and looked at the yellow orange sun setting.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because we've already ended. We're already finished," He said and lied on the grass after.

"Natsu…" He stared at me, making me nervous. "I'm sorry I didn't know. I'm sorry I didn't hear you that time. I'm sorry I wasn't able to understand all that. I'm such a… I'm such a fool!"

Tears ran down my cheeks and I can't even manage to look at his face. I'm just so embarrassed of what I did that time that I feel so, so annoyed of myself for doing all that without even having to hear Natsu's side. I was like an idiot, never listening to anything the teacher said but in the end, it turned out to be so easy and it turned out unexpectedly.

"Thank you." I held his hand, thinking of all the times we had when we were still a couple. The times when he would say stupidly romantic stuff and the times that he would lift me up and the times that he would hold my hand tightly. It makes me tear up, remembering all those things.

"For what?" He asked.

"For our little infinity. For everything we've done for a whole year together. Thank you for that wild rollercoaster ride we had. I… I will always remember you till my last breath," I said with wave of tears running down my face. Maybe a wave of tears is an exaggeration but it just shows that I'm really sad about it all. And by all, I mean all of it.

"I was always thinking of you in Singapore. There was never a single minute that I forgot about you. You're just… so unforgettable, you know that? I don't know why but even though my mind keeps on saying to myself that I will let you go, it's like this part of me can't take it. It's contradicting to what my mind says." He pointed to his chest and put my hand onto it.

"Stop it. You're embarrassing me." I laughed, despite the sad mood.

"Lucy, can I tell you something?" He asked, while raising himself to a sitting position.

"S-s-sure." I stuttered.

"Forget about me, please. Just forget about me, my family, my world and everything about me. Let me go and be the Lucy before she met Natsu Dragneel. Be the girl who was once free and the one who never thought of loving someone," He wept while pleading. He was telling me to set him free, with that not-a-joke expression on his face.

"I can't be the Lucy Heartfilia before I met Natsu Dragneel. I can't be the person who used to be free from this hurtful love. You know why?" I stopped and Natsu looked at me with that eyes looking for the reason. "Because this Natsu Dragneel has changed me a lot. I can't let you go because I still am into you and I can't be the person before I met you because you taught me how to love and to care to someone deeply."

"Caring too much will hurt you Lucy. So please, grant me this one last wish." He begged.

"I… I—"

"Hello?" Natsu suddenly picked up his phone and interrupted me. "Okay, I'll be there by thirty minutes. Sorry I'm late. I have to deal with something."

He closed his phone and stood up, while wearing his sunglasses back on.

"Bye." He waved his hand and ran, leaving me on the grass speechless and shocked. He just said that, without even saying it the proper way and ran. He didn't even let me finish and he left just by that. I wasn't even able to also say goodbye to him.

"Goodbye, Natsu." I said to myself. I said that not in a way that I felt so heartbroken but I said that in a serious and straightforward way. I said that because I think Natsu was indeed right. That caring too much will just hurt me. I said that because I think that I can finally let go of him and set him free. I said that because I promise myself to grant Natsu's one last wish.

Note:

I'm really bad at promising… Maybe I shouldn't promise to update in three to four days or in a week again XD. The schedule's really tight for me and there are a lot of school projects I need to submit. That explains why I updated the fanfic for almost a month.

Oh yeah, I finally finished the one-shot that I was thinking of. Just need editing so maybe I could upload it in an hour, or a day, or a week or even maybe a month XD. But instead of Jellal and Erza, it's gonna be Lucy and another guy. Hope you'll read that one!

I think I have a lot of grammar or spelling mistakes in this chapter since I just typed this the other day (Nov 23) and I didn't look through it again.

Got that 'little infinity' thing somewhere…. XD

NaLu ends here…. Yeah, it ends here. Don't hope for more moments next chapter LOL

Okay, that's all.
