Ya this chapter is shorter but the next one will be longer. I'll eventually start updating weekly. I might start now so expect the next chapter later.
I came to the guild house, avoiding Grey and Natsu.
"Hi Cana," I said as I greeted her.
"Ah, Lucy," Cana said. "Ready for your first drink?"
"What? No!" I exclaimed.
She should know me better than that!
"Then what ya here for?" Cana said sounding a bit drunk.
"Well..."
"Yeah?"
Levy and came and sat down next to me. Oh great!
"Hi," Levy said. "Whatcha guys talking about?"
"Lucy's going to drink for the first time!" Cana said excitedly, despite what I said.
"Lucy!" Levy said in that shocked, motherly tone.
"Cana! I am not drinking!"
"Good," Levy said relieved.
"I need some... advice," I said.
"About what?" Cana asked.
I doubt she's concerned.
"Well, yesterday I overheard Gray say he didn't really like me," I said trying not to cry again.
Levy and Cana gasped.
"But Natsu does?" Cana asked.
"Yes."
"Well I'll tell you who not to pick," she said.
"Who?"
"Natsu."
"What's wrong with Natsu?" Levy asked Cana.
"He's too annoying. I can't stand him!" she yelled. "But that freak Juvia might kill you!"
"Shut up you drunk ass!" someone called throwing a beer bottle at her.
She ducked and walked over to the guy. Soon enough a guild fight was happening. I left before Master came to break it up.
"Wait, Lucy!" Levy called.
I stopped and looked back.
"I can't help you but I think Erza can."
"Where's her house?"
xXx
I knocked on Erza's door at Fairy Hills and waited for her to come.
"It's open," Erza yelled.
I opened the door and stepped in. There was a glass table by the door that I sat at. Erza walked into the room I was in.
"Oh hello Lucy," she greeted me.
"H-hi," I said. "Umm Erza, why would you leave the door open without knowing who the person was?"
"Oh I heard someone and assumed it was you."
"What?"
"Nevermind."
I shook my head at her.
"Well, what is it?" she asked.
I explained everything that happened in the past two days. Tears dripped down my face.
"Oh, Lucy," Erza tried to say in a comforting way.
"Who do I pick?" I desperatly asked.
"Well, let's see," Erza said thinking. "How do you feel about Gray?"
"Well, as of now we are dating so I still have feelings for him. But my heart broke when I heard what he said."
"And Natsu?"
I smiled and started laughing.
"Natsu..." I said. "He's funny, determined... at times annoying. He-"
"Lucy," Erza interrupted. "You have an important decesion to make. I can't decide for you."
I put my head down and stared at my feet.
"Right," I said. "Well umm... bye."
I got up hand put my hand on the door.
"Thank you," I said walking out the door.
Before I closed the door, Erza stopped me.
"Wait, Lucy," she said. "You obviously love Natsu. It's clear he loves you too."
I nodded at her and left. When I closed the door I smiled. It's almost making sense to me. I turned around and opened the door again.
"Erza, thank you," I said.
"Anytime Lucy," Erza said smiling.

I stared at my diary that layed before me on the ground. It mocked me, tempting me to write in it once again. Tempting me to write my secrets down for someone else to read.
"You cause this," I said to it.
I still couldn't resist. I picked it up and grabbed my quill pen. I stared at it for a while and wrote:
Today I talked to Virgo, Cana and Erza about... Natsu and Gray. Virgo was no help, neither was Cana. Erza told me I'm right for Natsu. Oh my gosh! I'm late for my date with... Oh well. I don't care!
I stopped writing and put my diary away this time.
"Should I go?" I asked myself. "No."
