Lucy's POV

I lay on my bed, trying not to cry. There were tears streaming down my face, and I tried to figure out who... Who do I love? I tried to think about what Erza told me. I have to find love. I thought about each one of them, which one is really my other half.

Getting back to the guild...that was embarrassing. Everyone saw me run out. Soon everyone will be here asking me what's wrong. Just wait for it...

Suddenly the door opened. I didn't even bother seeing who it was. I just lay there. There were footsteps coming up to my bed. I felt some hands on my shoulder.

"Lucy?" Erza's voice sounded compassionate. I sighed.

"I feel like I'm making a big deal out of nothing," I whispered.

"Here. Move over," she said. I scooted to the right and she sat down on the edge of my bed.

"Are you okay?" she said.

"I just- maybe I'm not ready for love," I muttered.

"No one is," Erza whispered. "But when love hits, you become ready."

I felt a smile. "You're so wise."

"I love you, Lucy. And I'll understand if you choose Natsu over me. What happened in the closet-"

I got up slightly and turned so I could face her. "What happened in the closet was real, Erza. I do love you. I just love Natsu, too."

She sighed. "Please make your decision. Because I'm ready for love. No pressure-"

I put my finger in front of her lips. "Shh."

I leaned in to kiss her. We stared into each others eyes until she finally pulled away.

"Until you make your decision.." she said, and left.

Erza, don't go...please.
