A/N Hallo Loves!
We shall reply to last chapter's reviews!
Miss Jester61: *Head jerks to the side from the impact* I'm so sorry! D':
Guest: You're welcome. I feel bad for him too…
LavaWings: Okay =)
MeGustaZeref: I actually contemplated on that for a while.
The-Wolf-Of-Winter: Thank you.
AliceJBlue: I love bad boy Natsu too… and you no longer have to wait, it is here!
GRUgrace: Yes, yes I can. And you may read on now.
Guest: Y… T…? I don't compute…..
I sunk down in my seat. I looked around for Lucy but she wasn't here. I haven't seen her for a week. I switched my gaze from her usual seat to the window. It was snowing and sleeting prettily heavily. My thought slipped to the blond loved so much. I was shaken from my thoughts by someone literally shaking my shoulders. I looked to see Cana and Levi in front of me.
"What?" I growled.
"Where is she?" Cana demanded. "She hasn't been here and she hasn't been answering our calls."
"I wish I knew," I muttered. "She's been avoiding me for a freaking week."
"You live with her, how in the hell can she ignore and avoid you completely for a week?" Cana gripped my shirt and pulled my face close to hers.
"Ask her!" I yelled, drawing the attention of the other people in the classroom. "Ask her because she obviously isn't fucking talking to me!" I shot up from my seat and towered over the two women. I grabbed my things and stomped out of the classroom, brushing passed our teacher, Macao, who had just come in.
I slumped down in the seat of my car, the door closed. I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. There was a knock on the glass window. I snapped my head to the side, but growled when it wasn't Lucy. I rolled the window down anyway.
"I know you're upset, but you can't just run out of class like that," He looked at MiraJane Strauss, she was the guidance counselor.
"What do you know, Mira?" I spat.
"I know the look you have in your eyes," She smiled sadly. "She hurt you real bad, didn't she?"
I didn't answer.
"It happened to me, once too, you know." She shivered.
"Get in," I told her. She walked around and slipped in the car. She shivered, but soon stopped since the heater was on full blast.
"Like I was saying;" she leaned her chair back a bit. "I had this major crush on this guy, you see, he was one of those types that attracted all the girls to him. Anyways, not the point, the point is, one day, I confessed to him, right? And we started dating. One day I saw a girl kissing him. I thought he was cheating on me, so I ran, but what I didn't see was him push the girl off. I waited until he got home to confront him. Once I did, he freaked out because I was accusing him of such a thing. He stormed out the door and left me alone to stew in my thoughts. Anyways, long story short, we made up, got back together and now I'm married to him!" she showed me the diamond ring on her left hand.
"I really don't understand how that's supposed to help me, Mira," I ran a hand over my face.
"The point of that whole story is that even if it seems like it isn't going to work out, it will." She opened the car door. "Go get her, Natsu-kun." She reached over and ruffled my hair before running out into the snow and back into the school building. I got my phone out of my back pocket and looked at the notifications but saw nothing.
I started up the car and ore out of the parking lot.
I sped home and launched out of my car. I got inside and ran up the stairs. I flung open her door. My eyes widened.
Her room was spotless. And not clean wise. All of her things were gone. Her bed was stripped and the curtains drawn. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number I put it to my ear as I ran down the stair. She picked up on the third ring to my surprise.
"Lucy, where are you?!" I demanded.
"Natsu, I need to figure out what you are to me before I continue living with you."
"I want to know where the fuck you are, Lucy Heartfilia!" I started my car and tore out of the drive way.
'I'm apartment shopping." She told me. "I think I found the one I want." She sighed. "It has a great view of the canal too." She paused. "Natsu, I'm about to go sign the lease so—"
"Lucy, don't sign anything until I get there!" I told her.
"Natsu—"
-X-
I sat up in my bed and sighed. I looked around my room silently. I got up and started to pack my things.
I figured out what I was going to do. It's been a week since that happened. I decided I was going to get my own apartment. I might come back here in the future, but I just can't live her right now.
I placed my things in their original boxes. The task was easy because I hadn't really unpacked in the first place.
I had already called Igneel and let him know my plan. He said he was truly sorry to see me go, but he understood. His business trip had gotten prolonged since it started to snow very hard where he was, and was not able to fly back for a while.
I drug all my boxes out to my car and threw them in the trunk.
I drove to my first destination. Coffee.
-X-
And hour later, I was inside an apartment, it was big enough and it was also cheap.
I was about to go sign the lease when my phone rang. I looked at it, then to the landlady.
"Take your time," the old lady smiled at me.
"Arigato," I smiled at her. I turned around and picked up the phone.
"Lucy, where are you?!" Natsu shouted before I could say anything.
"Natsu, I need to figure out what you are to me before I continue living with you." I told him, not missing the pitying look the landlady gave me.
"I want to know where the fuck you are, Lucy Heartfilia!" I widened my eyes at his volume and curse word.
'I'm apartment shopping." I told him. "I think I found the one I want." I sighed, "It has a great view of the canal too." I took a breath. "Natsu, I'm about to go sign the lease so—"
"Lucy, don't sign anything until I get there!" He yelled at me.
"Natsu—"
"Fuck!" I widened my eyes as I heard tire squealing on the road.
"Natsu?" I asked.
"I love you, Lucy!" He whispered before I heard a crash.
I widened my eyes, "Natsu?!" I shrieked. My eyes started to drip. "Natsu?!"
"Oh my, look at that," The landlady called. I sped by her to look out the window. I saw Natsu's car, wrapped around a tree a little ways away. I instantly punched in 911.
"Nine-one-one, what is the nature of your emergency?" I heard a lady ask calmly. I started to breathe really fast.
"There was a crash down on Strawberry Street. 62nd and Peach, please hurry, I think he's unconscious!" I shouted as I ran out of the apartment building and down the street. I shoved my phone into my pocket and ran to the wreckage. There were already people surrounding Natsu's car. I tried to push passed the people, but they wouldn't let me through. The paramedics arrived minutes later.
They piled him onto the stretcher. I stood screaming for the people to let me through, but no one would. I watched the ambulance speed away through tears.
I got on my phone and called the one person I thought to call at this second.
"Lucy, you alright?"
"Gray," I sobbed. "Meet me in the ER, Natsu's been hurt."
-X-
"Lucy," Gray ran to the blonde who sat, sobbing in the Emergency Room waiting area. The woman looked up and saw Gray. She shot up and ran to him.
"Gray," She clutched the front of his t-shirt. "N-Natsu, he… He…" She broke into another fit of sobs.
"Calm down, Lucy, he'll be fine." Gray stroked her hair.
The blonde took a few deep breaths. "Natsu was speeding, and he slipped on a patch of ice in the road. He crashed into a tree," She sobbed softly. "He was unconscious when the paramedics got to him."
"He'll be alright, that Flame-Brain is a stubborn Jackass if I've ever saw one." Lucy nodded her head. Gray could feel hot liquid seeping into his shirt, but he didn't care.
"Natsu Dragneel's relations," A doctor called. The two teenagers looked to the man clad in white. They both made their way towards him, hearts barred for the worst.
