Chapter Three Breakdown
~Levy~
Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! It was five minutes until my curfew and I was going to get home in about 12 minutes. My mom is going to kill me! While I was driving a thought came to mind. Why didn't the book tell me about my time at The Pit? Why did it work for Gajeel but not for me? As I was thinking about these things I noticed I drifted off to the wrong side of the road. A car came and I quickly turned over to my side. But, I came over too quick. My car slid over to the side and rammed into a tree on the side of the road. My airbag went off and hit me. "Dang it!" I yelled. I pushed the airbag out of the way and climbed out of the car. My windshield was broken right open and the right side of my car was dented in from the tree.
I wasn't hurt, thank God, but I did have a couple scratches. I pulled out my phone and dialed my mom's number. "C'mon! Pick up!" I yelled. But, she never did. I tried three more times. She always answers unless she's asleep, her phone is off or she has lost her phone, which happens more often then it should. I then dialed Lucy's number. It took her a while, but she answered. "Hi Levy? Wassup?" she asked. "Lucy! I got in an accident and my car is destroyed." I said. Then as I was talking I felt a couple rain drops. Oh, great! Why does it always have to rain when somebody is outside? The same thing even happens in movies! What the heck?! "I can't really get out of my house right now so I'll call somebody to get you. Just tell me where you are." Said Lucy. "Okay. I'm at exit 46 between 43 and 8." I said. Lucy then hung up the phone and the rain became worse. This sucks. Why did this have to happen to me? C'mon! These kinds of things only happen in books and movies. I took cover in the back seat of my car because that part wasn't that damaged and I would be out of the rain, mostly. My feet were getting wet no matter how tight I hugged them to my knees. Why is it always my feet getting ruined today?
I waited in my car for about twenty minutes until somebody knocked on the window. I looked over and it was Gajeel. Why did Lucy send him? I got out of my car and then got out into the rain. I looked over and saw that a tow-truck was there on the side of the road. Did Lucy also call a tow-truck? I looked up at Gajeel and I could tell he could see the confusion in my face. "My Uncle works at a tow company. Iron Tow." He said pointing towards the truck. I nodded while making an "o" shape with my mouth.
It took us 48 minutes but we hooked up my car to the truck and I hopped in the passenger seat. "Are you sure you can drive this thing?" I asked Gajeel. "Don't question me Small Fry." He said. "Ugh." I said annoyed at the nickname. Why did he always have to make fun of my height? Well, we've only known each other for a day but, still, he shouldn't make fun of me! "Where do you live?" asked Gajeel starting up the truck. "4478 Markway." I said.
"The apartment complex?"
"Yea."
Gajeel started to drive and the awkward silence was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. I have no clue what to say or how to start a conversation with this guy. "So… how'd ya crash?" Gajeel asked out of nowhere.
I told Gajeel about what I was thinking and how I had zoned out. He just broke out laughing. "WHAT?!" I asked throwing my arms into the air. "I-it's just *laugh* y-you're *laugh* so n-nerdy!" He said. I grew angry at his comment. I then noticed that we were at my place. Gajeel's laughs died down and he looked at me. "I'll drop your car off at the shop." He said. I just stared at him with a scowl on my face. "Whatcha waiting for Shr-" But he couldn't finish. Because I already slapped him across the face and walked out of the car.
When I got to the door to my apartment Gajeel was still there in the truck. He glared at me and removed his hand from his injured cheek, showing off a little red hand mark on his face. We looked at each other for a while before I blew a kiss to him and waved with an evil smirk spread across my delighted face. I walked inside before I could see his reaction. But, I kinda wish, I could've seen it.
~Lucy~
I was fast asleep on the couch with Natsu still on top of me. Then I heard a familiar tune. Beep, Boo, Boo, Beep, Boo, Boo. Crap! It's my phone. I reached and reached for the coffee table and Natsu's arm fell. He snored a little and I stayed still for a while because I didn't want to wake him up. I reached for my phone and then I finally got it. "YES!" I yelled. Then I remembered not to wake up Natsu. He rose and I slapped my forehead in stupidity.
Natsu was covering his ears and he sat up. "Lucy? Why do you have to be so loud?" He asked, stretching out the words with a moan. I just ignored him and looked at my phone. I clicked answer and put the phone to my ear. "Hey, Levy. Wassup?" I asked. "Lucy! I got in an accident and my car is destroyed." She said. Oh my god! Is she okay? Wait?! Why didn't she call 911? I looked over at Natsu going through my stuff and going to my bed. Sorry Levy. "I can't really get out of my house right now so I'll call somebody to get you. Just tell me where you are." I said. "Okay. I'm at exit 46 between 43 and 8." She said. I hung up the phone and pulled out my contacts. I scrolled until I found the one I was looking for. I remember telling us that one of his family members works at a tow company. I texted him.
'Gajeel! Can you get access to a tow truck?'
He almost instantly responded.
'Yea. Why?'
'Levy crashed her car.'
'...'
'GAJEEL!'
'Okay! Where is she?'
'Exit 46 between 43 and 8.'
'Okay. Wait! Why didn't she just call 911?'
'IDK'
Then he never said anything back. I'm assuming he's going to get Levy. Well, I sure do hope so.
