68: Hatred

"Lisanna this… Lisanna that—"
"What the hell is your problem?" I heard my so-called boyfriend yelled after me as I stormed out of the kitchen.
"My problem? You're the one with a problem!" I growled back at him, hearing him following me; I forced my foot through both of my sneakers before storming out of my apartment.
I continued storming down the street, looking for some place to get away for a few hours; the guild was in the other direction. 'Nice one, Gray...' I punished myself mentally as I kept my pace, not slowing down.
"G-Gray… wait…" I could hear Natsu getting closer; the familiar warmth soaking into my skin as I sighed before exploding on my boyfriend: "I've been busting my ass trying to get you see only me and move past her! Why can't you see that? I'm in love with you, idiot!"
Lisanna had been Natsu's previous girlfriend; she had died the year before we started dating and ever since then: I've been trying everything to get Natsu to stop bringing her up every time things start going well for us. I felt something warm slide down my face; am I crying?
"Gray," a tug on my t-shirt and then, "I do see only you… I'm sorry that when Lis—I say her name… It's not because I'm still in love with her," his cobalt eyes nervously looking up into my onyx ones, "I love you Gray… and no one else…" He smiled softly.
Before I could speak I heard something that seemed to yank at my chest; "She'll always be important to me but not... ever in the same way you are."
