"I am scared Jack. I am scared of being alone. Even though I have so many friends who love me and care about me, this feeling of loneliness never goes away. I can't take it anymore."
"Look at me Sam" ordered the said Jack. The blue haired girl who he was talking to whipped her head up so as to oblige to his request. "You are not alone. I am and always will be by your side no matters what.
The said Sam and Jack were staring into each other's eyes slowing inching towards each other and just when their lips were about to touch when a very beautiful girl collided with them causing all of them to tumble down with a huge crash.
"Cut!" called out a very angry looking man. "Just who the hell do you think you are, barging in on my set like that and ruining my perfect shot?" The frightening blonde spat angrily.
With the lightening shaped scar on his right eye and his spiky headphones which he always wore, the people who didn't know him often mistake him for a delinquent.
"Sorry Laxus she's my assistant" said the previously supposed Jack an extremely handsome young man with messy black hair who was now trying to get up after the collision. Even though he said an apology on behalf of his assistant his expression and tone indicated that he was nowhere near being sorry. "and she's Mira's sister so you better talk to her politely like a gentleman."
"Not to mention your best friend too Gray" said the white haired culprit with a smirk knowing that her best friend wasn't defending her for the reasons he gave but for the one she mentioned. Gray just huffed and looked towards the opposite direction trying not to blush at her words.
"I am sorry Mirajane's little sis but you better have a damn good explanation for interrupting my shooting like that or even your sister won't be able to save you from the consequences." Laxus threatened.
"First of all my name is Lisanna and it's not that I don't respect my sister or anything, its just that I am my own person so my sister has got nothing to do with my work. And secondly I do have a very important reason so if you will excuse us I would like to talk to Gray. Alone." With that she left dragging a very confused Gray along with her leaving a very flabbergasted Laxus. Again out of nowhere her voice again came directed towards the blue haired actress, "Don't follow Juvia. This is important and private." The now very angry Juvia was glaring daggers at the white haired assistant as she ruined her kissing scene with "her Gray" and was going somewhere private with him. She was getting all sorts of wrong thoughts and was thinking of Lisanna as her new love rival.
In the meantime while be dragged Gray decided to question her assistant on her hastey actions. "What's going on Lisanna? What's so important that you couldn't wait for for two minutes till the shot was over?"
"Wait till we are somewhere private." With this one statement Gray understood that this had something to do with Logan. His one an only child was such a trouble maker that sometimes Gray had nearly died from a heart attack. Gray was Fiore's most sought after bachelor but the world didn't know that he had a kid. It was not like Gray was ashamed of him he just wanted Logan to have a normal life at least for now, till all of his issues are resolved.
Once inside Gray's dressing room, Lisanna started, "I just received two phone calls. The first one was from Ezra. She said that Natsu is coming back and will be arriving two days from today." On hearing Natsu's name Gray's previously annoyed yet worried face now displayed a teasing smirk. And before Lisanna could continue he interrupted her, "That is not as big news for me as it is for you and certainly not worth interrupting that shooting. Right Lisanna?"
Fighting the blush that was threatening to rise to her face she maintained a serious face and replied, "Now is not the time for this Gray. Hear me out first. The second call was from Alzack."
With the mention of Alzack's name Gray's face again held a worried expression.
"He told me he took Logan to the City Square." But before she could continue Gray again interrupted her. "The City Square in this weather? It's below freezing outside not to mention its a two hour drive from the mansion. What if he gets sick? Is Alzack trying to get fired?"
"Gray stop interrupting and let me explain. Will you?"
Gray just nodded in response and motioned Lisanna to continue. "Good. He said that he took Logan there because he was insisting he wanted to outside and wasn't eating anything. He took him to the city square because Logan wanted to go to Fun City which is as you know is at the city square. Now all your doubts are cleared let me get to the point. Just stay calm and don't worry after what I am going to say right now."
"What could have possibly happened that would cause me to worry?" Gray stated coolly but deep inside he was losing his mind with tension and worry.
Taking a deep breath Lisanna said, "He lost him."
"I'm sorry what?" gray said hoping he had heard his assistant wrong.
Thinking that Gray has finally lost it she repeated her statement loud and clear. "I said Alzack lost Logan."
Gray frantically started looking for his coat and asked Lisanna to take hers too and meet him outside. With that he left.
"Yep, he has definitely finally lost it."
Lisanna saw Gray outside the studio pulling out his sports car and got in on his indication.
"You never drive your sports car. Why the sudden change of habit?"
"I had a gut feeling this car would be needed today and look how right it was. It already is a two hour ride from here and with the amount of traffic Magnolia has I highly doubt we will get there in time before something bad happens. I should have bought my bike."
"Gray, you yourself said that it is below freezing outside. You can't possibly drive a bike in this weather."
"What should I do Lisanna? I am dying with worry here. Logan got himself in trouble again. He keeps doing this, begging to go outside and then running off to look for his mother. No matter how much help I get him or how much I try to find her, I fail. I feel like a complete failure as a dad, child, husband, friend, brother, everything. It doesn't matter that I gained so much fame and success in my career. I don't care. My own child hates me. What am I supposed to do?"
Lisanna on hearing Gray's sudden outburst looked towards him with eyes filled with worry. "No Gray you are a great person. The best friend anyone could ask for, the kind of child any parents would be proud of. The kind of brother any siblings would want. The kind of husband every woman desires and the greatest dad in the world. You work so hard so don't cut yourself short."
"Then why don't I feel so great" Gray said so quietly that Lisanna almost didn't hear him. His voice seemed so pained and it almost seemed as if he was crying. Even though his face betrayed none of his feelings, Lisanna knew from years of experience that Gray who never talks about his feelings was silently crying.
"That's because you are worried and its okay to be worried Gray. Logan is your son. Its your right no more like duty to be worried."
Just as she finished Gray parked the car and they both got out.
"Great it's snowing. It's going to really hard to find them. Lisanna call Loki and ask him to come here right away with Bixslow." Gray said ignoring all the squeals people were giving around them. "This situation will now be very hard to handle." Gray continued clearly annoyed by the people around them.
Lisanna nodded and quickly called Gray's bodyguards and quickly informed them of the situation. "They are on there way. But first you have got to calm down. Let's go to that cafe and ask around there have got to be a lot of people there since it is this cold" Lisanna said pointing to a petit cafe. "And Gray please don't snap at anybody."
Gray just nodded in response and with getting a place to start with they sprinted towards their destination.
