Chapter 1 – To believe in you

Normal POV

One day, Lucy walked to Natsu to ask him out since it's her birthday. Juvia, Gajeel, Wendy and Carla are the only ones who greeted her and no one else remembered her birthday. "Hey Natsu, wanna hang out with me since well… um, you know, it's my-", asked Lucy but was interrupted by Natsu. "Oh sorry Luce, but I promised Lisanna to hang out with her today, maybe tomorrow." And then he ran off to where Lisanna and Happy is. Lucy felt lonely after Natsu rejected. The four members, who greeted her, saw everything that happened. "Lucy-san, don't mind him." Wendy said. "You know that ash brain, bunny girl, he's an idiot." Gajeel pointed out. "But he never forgets my birthday." Lucy's tears flowed down her cheeks as she said it. "Lucy-san, don't think of him for now. Let's just celebrate your birthday." Juvia said to make Lucy feel better. "Let's just go somewhere. This guild is busy with that white haired chick." Gajeel said. And they were off to celebrate.

The group decided to go back to the guild when the sun sets. The guild was rowdy as ever. Lucy looked for Natsu but one guild member told her that Natsu just left the guild a minute ago. Lucy decided to go after Natsu. She found him and when she was about to call for him, she saw a white haired girl with him. To Lucy's point of view, they look like a couple. Natsu's arm was around Lisanna's neck and they look happy together. This idea made Lucy jealous, so she decided to follow them. Moments later, Natsu began to look in Lisanna's eyes seriously and said, "I really missed you! I love you!" and then he kissed Lisanna on the lips, and she kissed him back and they started to make out. Lucy saw everything. She was shocked that she forgot that she was hiding and she left the alley. Natsu suddenly saw a blonde haired girl in the corner of his eye. He was surprised to see Lucy with tears flowing in her cheeks. He suddenly took a step back away from Lisanna to go to her. Suddenly, Lucy started to run away from them."Lucyyy!" Natsu shouted as he ran after Lucy. Lisanna was confused on what happened.

Lucy ran towards her home. She locked the door went to her bedroom and cried on the edge of the bed. Lucy can't believe on what she just heard and witnessed. She felt betrayed. She felt alone. She saw her mother's picture beside her bed.

Lucy's POV

'No one really loves me, Mama. Why do you have to leave me? You're the only one who loves me. After you died, Papa never loved me. And Natsu… he did not love me at all.' Lucy thought. My thoughts were stopped when I saw a pink haired boy opened my window and jumped in.

"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" I said with an angry voice.

"Lucy, I can explain. I-I…" he said while walking towards me and touched my hand.

"DON'T TOUCH ME! I WANT YOU OUT OF THIS ROOM!" I said pushing him out of the room like a crazy man.

"No Lucy, you don't understand. Those words…" he said as he tried to calm me down.

"NO I UNDERSTAND! SO GET LOST!"

"HEAR ME OUT!" he said grabbing my arms to stop me from pushing him towards the window.

"I'VE HEARD ENOUGH!" I said as I ran inside the bathroom and locked the door.

Natsu's POV

She ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I heard things were falling on the floor. I tried to open the door, but it was no use because she pushed a cabinet behind the door to prevent me from opening it.

"Lucy, please just listen to me." I begged.

"No! You listen to me. I want you out of this room, out of this house and OUT OF MY LIFE!" she said.

My eyes widened when I heard the last words. I can't imagine life without Lucy.

"You've been very cold towards me. You don't pay any attention to me since Lisanna came back. I thought that you've only missed her and you're childhood friends so I shrugged off the idea that you love her more than me. And since she got back, everyone in the guild ignores me. But I was right all along! I was right. I was just a replacement of Lisanna. You did not love me!" she burst out crying.

"Lucy, I loved you and I always will! And you're not a replacement to Lisanna. Everyone loves you back at the guild. They just really missed Lisanna, that's all. And the words you heard a moment ago they-" I tried to reason out while trying to open the door. I was thinking that I should kick the door with my flames but I thought that she might get hurt when I do that.

"You're lying! Get out! Now!" she said with an angry tone.

"I'm not lying Luce! I mean, those words were for friends. I never meant to sound it like in a relationship way. It's just in a friendly way. I'm really sorry Luce. I-"

"What about the kiss? Don't tell me that friends do that to each other? Just give me a reason to believe in you. Just one reason to make me believe that what I saw is not right." she asked still crying.

"T-That, I-I j-just…" I stuttered. 'I do love Lisanna but as a younger sister, I love her but not as much as Lucy. I don't know what's gotten into me. I also don't know why I did that.' I thought.

"Stop fooling me! Get out! Get out! Get out!" she yelled.

Then I heard a glass breaking to pieces. I'm afraid that something bad happened to Lucy.

"Lucy, open the door please! Lucy, Lucy, open up! I panicked and try banging the door.

"GET OUT!" she said.

I heard her last words and shouts. It became quiet, I only heard her sobs. Suddenly I felt uneasy when I sniffed the air. My eyes widened when I smelled blood, Lucy's blood, and a lot of it. I quickly kick the door open and what I saw was a broken mirror shards scattered on the floor and Lucy, who was sitting in the corner of the bathroom, unconscious, with her left wrist covered with blood. I ran towards her to carry her and rushed her to the hospital.
