Hey Buds! Naluloverforever126 is back with another chapter! I just LOVE making these to show my literary skills! It helps me practice before I start writing a book in my later years! Anyways, hope you enjoy. Please follow, review, and favorite! Love ya!

I DO NOT own Fairy Tail. If I did, Lucy and Natsu would have kissed when Asuka asked them to. Hiro Mashima, The King of Anime Trolls, is the creator of this awesome show.

Chapter 3

Natsu's POV

"What do you mean 'She's not supposed to be showing these types of symptoms until 2 weeks before she DIES!' What is freakin' wrong with her!" I screamed at Porlyusica. She stood up slowly, staring down at her feet.

"She has the same disease that killed her mother. She's had it for about a year now, not counting the seven you spent on Tenrou. About five days after the Phantom Lord ordeal, she came to me, telling me about how her stomach hurt so bad, her throat was as dry as a desert, her major migraine, and her shakiness. I diagnosed her, and she told me about how her mother had it. It must be a genetic disease that runs in her family." She told me slowly.

I stared at her with shock written all over my face. "She's…. been hiding this... for a year?" I slowly sat back down in my chair and put my face in my hands. 'How could I not have noticed! She's been with this pain since Phantom Lord! What type of friend am I…' I thought to myself.

"I hate to tell you this, but I checked up on her two nights ago. Her condition is worst than before. She only has" She took a deep breath, "About a month left now that this is already happening. I'm sorry. There's only one cure, but I don't believe it will work on her, and if it doesn't, she'll die from it." She said quietly at the end.

My breath hitched. My heart broke. "She's… going to… die?" I said with tears threatening to fall at the answer. Porlyusica nodded her head solemnly and I broke. I sobbed into my hands. "No! This can't be!" I kept repeating to myself loudly.

Suddenly, I heard the down creak open and in walked Wendy with a look of shock at the scene. "Natsu! What's wrong! What happened!" She said quickly as she rushed over to me. I didn't answer, for my words came out in gibberish.

Gray and Erza walked in and stared at me in complete shock. The only times they've seen me cry was as a little kid, but even that happened rarely, and when Lisanna died. They walked quietly over to my side and pat my back. "Come on, tell us what happened." They said soothingly. I pointed my finger towards Porlyusica shakily. They looked over to her questionally, wondering what she had said to make me cry.

"Lucy's sick. Has been since a couple of days after the battle with Phantom Lord. She only has a month left before she…" She said the last part in a mumble, but I knew Wendy heard it for I heard her gasp and tears begin to fall onto my lap with mine.

"What! What is it! A month before what!" Erza yelled, tired of having to wait.

"Until she DIES! Lucy's only got a month before she DIES!" I yelled into her face. Her face contorted to a look of sadness and depression.

"No… It can't be." I heard Gray say behind her.

"Uhggggg! My head hurts! Where's my medication?" I heard a familiar voice say weakly from the bed. Everyone turned their heads towards the bed to find Lucy sitting up in the white sheets, rubbing her head. I watched with shock as she realized where she was and looked towards us with the shocked eyes.

"H-Hey guys! What happened? Why is Porlyusica here?" She asked with a shaky voice.

"Luce…"

Lucy's POV

I heard Natsu say in a solemn voice my name and looked up at him. I gasped at the look in his face. There were tear streaks on his chiseled face and the look in his eyes told me he was sad and depressed.

I snapped my head towards Porlyusica. She looked down at her feet and said quietly, "Sorry. I had to." I shook my head quickly back and forth. "No… You promised not to tell until I die! Porlyusica!" I said.

I heard gasps from behind me and looked down at my hands. "I'm sorry guys. I didn't want you to worry about me. I'm so sorry…" I said, allowing tears to pour down my face and dribble onto the pressed white sheets.

This wasn't supposed to happen.
