For Natsu, time seemed to slow down. Each ring seemed minutes, hours, apart. On the seventh ring Lisanna finally picked up.
"Hey Natsu, where are you? You ran off after school" she asked, sweetly.
"I'm at home" he lied, "there is something I need to talk to you about". He breathed shakily.
"Okayyyy, what is it?" Lisanna voice was slightly streched as if she knew what was coming. Natsu breathed in heavily, anxiety clutching his chest.
"Iwanttobreakup" he swiftly muttered.
"Sorry, what was that? The signals crap here." It pained him that he knew she wasn't lying. She was innocent, she didn't want to mock him.
He once again breathed in heavily and sighed before saying,
"I'm really sorry Lisanna but I want to break up. You remember Lucy right? My ex-girlfriend.
She commited suicide last night... She jumped" His voice broke halfway, he could speak no more.
"Oh god Natsu! Are you okay? Hows Erza, Levy and Juvia? Where are you, are you really at home? Do you want me to come? Its fine if you don't. I mean you did just break up with me." She rambled, you could tell by her voice she was crying or very near it.
Then suddenly a thought occured to her, something that could have been very true. "Was I the reason Lucy died!" Lisanna's voice was mortified, she wasn't concerned for herself anymore. Her full attention was on Lucy's friends, Natsu and Lucy herself.
"No-no! Don't think that. It was mine if anything! I ignored her I broke up with her even though I stil-"
"Natsu! Your such an idiot! Why did you date me if you loved Lucy? BAKA!" She screamed, she had guessed this fact ealier.
"I know... Wait! Lisanna how are you okay with this?" Natsu questioned knowing that many girls would be hurt, angry. Lissana confusingly was the opposite. She was selfless, she didn't care that her boyfriend had just broken up with her. She cared about his well being not her own.
"I guess I kind of knew for a while, the way you stared at her in class when she wasnt looking. Or when you glanced at her when we were in hallways." She had known a week after they had started to go out, that was the first time she had caught him stealing longfull glances at her. "Now that she is d-dead, I can understand why... There's no need for you to explain Natsu" Lisanna started to tear up again, she still didn't fully believe it, someone who once was so cheerful...
"Oh, was it really that obvious?" His voice was quiet, broken almost.
"Yes, pretty much everyone guessed or knew. Everyone except you... And Lucy." She had heard a very low key rumor about it, but it was never said to her face. They didn't need to, she already knew.
"Oh God, oh god. What have I done." He sobbed, hisvoice was the sound of remorse and heart break.
"Natsu! It wasn't just you! No offense to Levy and that but they also failed to notice Lucy's mental state!" Don't blame it on yourslef! Remember An Inspector Calls? The text we did in English last year? Think of that. Mr and Mrs Bumley, Sheila. There were many factors you may have had a big part in it but it wasn't just you!" She shouted down the phone, trying desperatly to make Natsu snap out of it.
"Yes, I do Lisanna. Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to go now, Goodnight." His voice was normal but it lacked the joy that was Natsu.
"Okay. Call me later if you need to." Lisanna didn't want to hang up one bit but she let it slide. She was sure Natsu mood for an arguement.
"Bye" Natsu said, ignoring her last comment.
He shut the call down before she could reply. He sank down the wall and sat down. He stared onto ground before him and silently cried. Tears streaming down his face, he found a photo on his phone on him and Lucy and gazed at it for a while.
