I woke up the next morning mentally exhausted. There were questions pounding around in my head refusing to stop, I had to have them answered and as soon as possible. I force myself to get out of bed and get dressed.
Deciding that my stomach was too filled with butterflies, I skipped breakfast. I lock my door behind me as I step outside.
I glance in both directions down the street, the whole thing just looked empty. I shrug my shoulders and walk towards the edge of the river. I step up and wobble a little bit, trying to catch my balance. Once I'm sure of myself I walk along the edge to the guild.
I pull my phone out of my bag to check my messages. Nothing. I shouldn't be that surprised, most of the girls did leave with a guy.
Now that I think about it, most people in the guild were with someone else last night. I wonder if it was just the party, or Juvia trying out another potion. If it was Juvia I'll have to pat her on the back because she did a good job.
"Be careful miss." I hear someone say behind me. I was surprised because the voice was right behind me, and not out on the water. My feet lose their grip in surprise, and I start to fall over the edge.
I hands grab my wrists and I look up to see a familiar pink-haired dragon slayer. He smiles at me and pulls me up into his arms. My face heats up and he lets me go, a little too fast if you ask me.
"So," I start to say, at a loss for words, "What did you want to talk about?" He cocks his head at me and stares with this confused look on his face.
"What do you mean?" He asked. He had no idea what I was talking about.
"Last night, you came to my house and said you wanted to talk at the guild today." He looked at me as if I were spouting nonsense.
"I don't remember any of that, Luce. Me and Cana had a drinking competition and I don't remember anything after that. Was it important?" He really didn't remember kissing me? I bite back the tears and shake my head no with a fake smile.
"You know Natsu, I think I'm going to go home. I don't feel that good." I try to keep the tears from bursting out.
"Are you okay? Do you want me to go with you?" He asks taking a step forward, a worried expression on his face.
"No, no. I'm good. I'll see you later." I turn around and walk away before he can say anything else.
Once I'm sure he can't see me anymore, I take off into a full sprint. I run until I can't feel my feet hitting the pavement. It helped block out some of the emotional pain I was feeling.
When I start to feel better, I start to head back to my house. When I reach the door I feel tears build up in the back of my throat. I practically fling my door open and run to my bed, which I fling myself onto. Once I'm sure Natsu isn't here, I let painful, horrible sobs out of my body.
How could he forget something so important? How can he not realize how much pain this is causing me? He is probably with Lisanna right now, but you know what? That's a lot better, because then I can try to forget him.
Try to forget the most wonderful man I have ever met. Who am I kidding? This is going to be horrible.
I fall into a dreamless sleep trying to forget Natsu.
