Chapter 2: I Missed You

Normal POV:

Lucy woke up to a very annoying beeping sound. Deciding she had enough of the god forsaken sound, Lucy grudgingly opened her eyes. She found herself being blinded by white room, which looked a whole hell of a lot brighter due the crazy amount of light that shone in the room. Between the sun shining through the window and the dozens of bright white lights, Lucy's eyes basically burned from the amount of light her eyes were taking in.

Once Lucy's eyes were semi-adjusted to the light, she tried to take in her surroundings. 'What the heck happened? Where am I?' Lucy thought to herself, confused.

Quickly pulling the blonde out of her thoughts, she heard a door slowly creak open and someone step in through the door.

"Ms. Heartfilia?" she heard the voice ask. The voice was calm and gentle, but not as comforting as the voice she had heard right before the car crash.

She ignored the question for now, only to quickly return to her thoughts. 'That's right…the car crash. That guy too; I wonder who that was he sounded way too familiar,' Lucy thought, "He had pink hair too…W-wait! Pink hai-' Lucy's thoughts were rudely, she thought as least, interrupted by the same voice from before.

"So, Ms. Heartfilia you are up. Good to see you are awake and well," said the voice.

Turning her head towards the voice, Lucy found that the voice came from a doctor who stood right next to her. He wore a long white coat that looked like something a scientist would wear, along with bright green scrubs.

Finally, to answer his question somewhat, Lucy nodded her head slightly.

"You are very lucky, Ms. Heartfilia," he said "If you were hit just 10 mphs faster your leg would have had to be amputated."

'Geez, don't you think that a little much.' Lucy thought.

"Oh!" said doctor in a voice that was a little louder than it needed to be. "There was someone here waiting here with you because we could not get a hold of your parents. Plus, that guy would not leave the room, we basically had to drag him out and keep him out." He said with a sweat drop.

'Who could have been wanted to be here so badly…' Lucy thought with a smile and a small chuckle. As fast as it came it left, leaving Lucy to remember her dead parents.

"Yea…u-umm…my parents both died, so that's probably why…" Lucy said in a whisper.

"Oh well I am very sorry to hear that. I am sorry I brought it up. Would you like me to send your visitor in, Miss?" the doctor said.

"Yes please."

After holding out for almost 24 hours, Natsu could not wait any longer. He had to see her. She was his best friend, and always would be, whether she likes it or not. Seeing her in that car accident really engraved that fact that he was going to be by her forever and Natsu was going to protect her no matter what. Just like he had promised in sixth grade…

Flashback
Natsu's POV:

We watched the sun just setting on the school through a giant window in our classroom. I noticed how it made her hair even look orange and gently flowed in the wind. It looked kind of pretty if I was honest. Though I would never admit that to her.

I made Lucy stay after school with me. I was beyond surprised that she stayed. She always was needed at home. I knew that, but when she came into school with bruises, it made me wanted to just bring her home with me every day. So, it were days like these that I loved the most. Actually, just any day with the blonde was my favorite kind of day.

Lucy, the only girl I ever wanted to spend time with. She was my best friend since day one. Always helping me with my homework because with just one glance at her you knew she was a genius. So, we'd spend hours upon hours at school trying to homework, but that always ended up in the ice cream shop and unfinished homework. Always making time for me even when she had no time. Lucy was Lucy and she was amazing. So amazing to the fact that she got me to fall in love.

Before Lucy came into my life, I never spared a second glance for a girl. Never. Yet this weirdo changed that. I loved her, she was my best friend, but it wasn't until second grade when I realized that I really, really like her. Yea, I know what you thinking, "How could a second grader fall in love?" Well, it's not impossible because it happened and I haven't left her side ever since.

Looking over to my blonde best friend I decided I needed to break this silence.

"Hey, Luce?" I asked.

"Yea?"

"Do you think we can stay like this forever" I asked before I could stop myself.

Lucy then turned towards me, her big brown eyes boring into my onyx ones. She didn't answer for a while, instantly making me regret what I said.

"I wish we could, Natsu. I wish we could…" She whispered.

My eyes widened at what she said and whipped my head to see her face. I looked at her for a while to signal her to continue.

"Natsu, my dad is a bad man. No, not just my dad, this whole world. This whole world is bad. Life won't go the way we want sometimes…" Lucy said trailing off and turning her head back to the forgotten sunset.

I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it once I heard little sobs from the girl next to me. I looked at her with sadness, but also with most love and admiration.

"Lucy…" I said moving closer to her.

Once she noticed, she quickly turned to me with tears in her eyes and closed the space between us. Crushing me in an enormous hug.

"Shh…It's going to be okay, Luce." I said trying to quiet her, "Things will work out."

After sniffling a few times, she looked up at me with teary eyes and said, "W-what if they don't?"

"Well," I started, "If they don't work out, I'll just have to protect you forever. How about this?"

I looked down to Lucy, silently asking her if I could continue. When I got the look that she wanted me to continue I spoke.

"I'll stay with you forever no matter what. I promise. I won't leave your side. I'll always be with you." I said hugging her even tighter.

She buried her face into my shirt fast, but not fast enough for me to see her cherry tomato face.

"I'd really like that…" I heard the blonde mumble.

I ruffled her hair and smiled. Yeah, I definitely loved days like this.

I let the silence wash over me and just listened to her to trying to calm her muffled sobs. I wanted to hold her like this forever, tell her everything was going to be like this forever, but life is a bitch and luck was just not on our side this time….

Little did I know, she would transfer out of Fairy Tail Academy a week later. My best friend walking out of my life for a very long time, along with the promise I made that day…

Flashback End
Normal POV:

Natsu was done! He was done pacing around the damn hospital. When another minute went by with no information about how his blonde best friend was, his patience broke. Natsu stormed over to the front desk and demanded to know how Lucy was.

"Miss, I really need to see my friend, now" Natsu demanded

"Sir, that is the sixteenth time you have asked and for the sixteenth time I will say, "You cannot see her yet." So, please, Sir, sit down." Said the woman.

The woman looked young. She had black hair that was tied up into a neat little bun. Her small brown eyes decorated with a pink pair of glasses. Then to add to all that, she had the most annoyed look on her face. What a nice looking lady, huh? Yea, no and not to mention she was being really rude.

"Please, lady," Natsu practically begged, "I'm begging you."

The lady stood up, clearly pissed at the pink haired idiot standing in front of her. She was a about to say something, but a doctor in a long white coat and green scrubs stopped her from doing so.

"Natsu Dragneel?" The doctor asked.

Natsu whipped his head toward the doctor in surprised and answered a little too quickly, "Yeah, Yeah! That's me!"

"Ms. Heartfilia is okay. You may be allowed to see her now" The doctor said with a gentle smile.

"Yes!" Natsu cheered, "Can you take me to her?"

With a nod the doctor turned towards the direction where Lucy was and started down the hallway.

Natsu went straight after the doctor not before giving the nasty nurse at the desk a victory smirk. 'Haha bitch!' Natsu thought. (God, Natsu! xD So mean!)

Natsu practicly ran down the hall, trying to get the doctor to move a little faster. When he realized it wasn't working Natsu just grudgingly walked with him. Once he stopped in front of a door, room 212 to be exact, it dawned on Natsu that he hadn't seen the blonde in years. He stare at the door and was caught thinking about what her reaction would be?

'What if she doesn't remember me? What if…what if? Damn it, Natsu! Get your ass in there!' Natsu thought to himself.

Noticing he was all by himself in the hospital hallway, he decided to take a deep breath and open the door.

Peeking into the crack he saw her sitting on her bed in all her glory, staring out the window. She had the blondest hair, just like when they were younger. He didn't fail to notice, how it shined the same way it did way back then when the sun's light hit it.

Natsu opened the door quietly, to try to get a better look at the girl. His eyes traveled down to her body. She had a curvy body, one that any girl would die for. It was complimented with a big, busty chest. That he did not remember, but she was just as beautiful or maybe even more than he remembered. And just like back then he wouldn't admit that to her.

Finally, gaining the courage to do so, Natsu opened the door all way. He leaned in the door way, waiting for the blonde to finally notice that he was here.

Deciding that he couldn't wait any longer, he carefully knocked. Seeing that the knock had gotten her attention, he watched her whip her head in his direction.

She looked at him with those big, brown eyes that he knew and loved ever so well. That was the one part of her that would never ever change, no matter how long she lived. Her hair would eventually turn gray, sure. Her porcelain skin would come to have wrinkles in it, yeah, but her eyes would never change. They'd always be that chocolatey color. The chocolatey color that made you want to snuggle up with her by a fire and drink hot chocolate on a cold winter day. They were, if I had to pick, my favorite part of her.

I gave her a warm, toothy smile and finally broke the silence, "Hi, Luce!"

Lucy was quiet for a while, trying to process what was happening. Her best friend from nine years ago had showed up at the hospital she was in. Standing right in front of her, it was like a dream. His hair was still that girly pink, or salmon like he always called it, she remembered. His dark onyx eyes bored into hers, as if he was trying to read her mind. That smile. The smile that only Natsu could do. The smile that made her insides melt. Her eyes were pulled to his well-toned body. From what it looked like, through that tight red shirt at least, he had huge muscles. Those including some pretty nice biceps and a nice pair of abs. He looked like an abercrombie god. Oh, and that white dragon-like looking scarf, he still had that exactly like she remember.

Lucy brought her hands to her mouth in shock, tears slowly making their way into her eyes.

She mustered up all the courage she had and croaked out, "N-natsu?"

"How ya' doing?" he answered back, that giant smile still stuck on his face.

Before she could even realize it, she was ripping off all the cords and tube connected to her. Once Lucy got all those damned those off, she ripped the white hospitals sheets off of her and hopped out of bed. After stabling herself, Lucy raced to the pink haired boy to give him a crushing hug.

She hit him with so much power that they both crashed to the floor, Natsu breaking their fall.

Natsu stared wide eyed at the girl on top on him, who was currently crying into his shirt.

'Lucy…' Natsu thought as he brought he arm up to face to cover up the burning blush that was coming to his face.

'This has to be dreaming…I'm definitely dreaming…' Lucy thought.

"Natsu…" Lucy cried.

"Shh, Lucy. I'm here; you are going to be okay." Natsu said, reassuring the blonde.

"I missed you, you pink haired idiot," Lucy said, looking up at the said boy with the biggest smile on her face.

"I missed you too, you weirdo." Natsu said looking down at his best friend, giving her another one of his toothy grins.

He then laid his head back on the cold floor. Smiling to himself, Natsu closed his eyes to check if was indeed dreaming. When he found out he wasn't, he smile even wider, if that was possible, and closed his eyes again, letting a single tear, a tear of happiness, fall down his face.

'So much. I missed you so much, Luce'
