CHAPPY 7 IS HERE (PS: The number 7 is my SUPER unlucky number) I left off with y'all probably pumped and on the edge of our seats didn't I? And if not then i'm sorry for making that a disappointment. Writing this chapter was a bit of a drag, but I hope you guys enjoy otherwise. Requests are postponed in the mean time, but if you do have some I'll be happy to look at it. :) Thank you for taking time to read this!
Also, another thing- this chappy is very emotional and stuff, so be prepared.
CHAPTER 7: BIS SIE VERSTEHEN
(3rd Person P.O.V.): It had been a week since the suicidal attempt of the heir of the Strauss company, Lisanna Strauss. It had also been a week since she received her first kiss- with the popular, sexy, and idiotic Natsu Dragneel. Not only that, but it had ALSO been the day when Sting, heir of the Eucliffe Company, started to feel guilt for the outburst he had with Ms. Strauss. Many things had happened that day, and neither of the three tried to resolve it. Well, after seeing Lisanna almost jump off the cliff Natsu is of course concerned, so currently one problem is trying to be solved. Sting tried calling Lisanna an infinite amount of times and was worried when she didn't come to school. So that problem is also, in a sense TRYING to be solved. The question is, however, how much effort will the two boys give willing to spend time with the broken and scarred Lisanna they don't even know that well? And who will repair the relationship first? (Also, know that I think about it, thats two questions, but for the story's sake let us put "one" question.)
NATSU DRAGNEEL P.O.V.: I raise my fist to knock on the door, but I stop. I sigh as I cuss to myself in annoyance. Currently Lisanna had locked herself in the guest room of my house and had stayed their for a whole week. She didn't want to talk to anyone, and didn't come out to eat. I would, 3 times a day (3 meals a day) lay the food tray outside her door. And she would creak it slightly, giving me a "thank you" as she took it and closed the door. She needs some cheering up I thought earlier, and I let her be because I knew she needed to calm down.
But I find a week plenty of time to calm down.
So here I am, about to knock on her front door.
I take a deep breath as I remember what had happened. It was horrifying, to see someone I see at school, about to jump off a cliff. Course, gladly I had time to push her back to stable ground. And I don't know why but I was angry - and in a sense, who wouldn't be? Why would you kill yourself? Is life that hard on you? Your smart, and i envy that, so why...
Then I kissed her.
What the fuck?
I honestly didn't know why the fuck I kissed her. It was a hot kiss and all, and she was a pretty good kisser...but that wasn't the point. I don't have a clue why, I had kissed her. Was it her first kiss? And if it was then I should be lucky then, but I don't think I would be the one she would want her first kiss to be - but I'm getting off track. I had thought at the time, maybe if I kissed her, she would come back to the reality that she couldn't, just kill herself like that. My head starts to ache as I'm filled with questions and frustration.
I knocked on it three times, "Lisanna? Can I come in?" I tried asking politely, but my voice sounded more like an order.
There was silence before I heard shuffling coming up to the door, "Give me 30 seconds." She stated blankly as I heard the sounds of shuffling and thumps here and there. She was most likely cleaning up the place.
"29,...28,...27,...26..." I started counting down as I heard her sigh in frustration which I found cute. (CUTE?! WHAT THE FUCK!? WHEN DID I FIND SIGHS CUTE?!)
"10...9...8..."
"Seconds are not supposed to be counted that fast," She hissed on the other side of the door as I smirked.
"5...4...3...2..."
"ONE! OPEN THE FUCKING-"
Lisanna opened the door, her hair was brushed, as can tell and she was wearing a tank top and shorts, she looked more calm. She stepped aside and let me inside. I walk inside, everything was like a hospital. It was so CLEAN. I sat on office chair, technically mine as I stretched. She closed the door, taking a seat on her bed, silence between us.
"Well, what is it you need from me?" She asked in her normal, blank, emotionless voice.
"Answers, reasons, forgiveness, answers...wait, I already said that." I mutter as I saw her face palm herself mentally.
"Before that..." she replied as she looked down to the ground.
"Thank you, and...I'm sorry," she uttered, "I'm so sorry."
She said it in a gentle voice, one that I never heard from her before. That's when it hit me - I didn't know anything about this girl. Maybe her name, which class, grade, academic skills, yet again I personally didn't know anything. And she probably didn't know much about me.
"It's not okay, what you tried doing," I state firmly as my eyes lock with her sapphire ones, "it's not."
Her hands turned into fists as she nodded.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" I ask as I look away from her gaze.
"After you answer my one question, Natsu Dragneel."
I stand up as I lean onto the wall, we were now face to face.
"I'm asking you to answer my question first, Lisanna." I stated firmly.
She looked down to her hands as she nodded slowly, "Go ahead. I won't guarantee that I will answer everything you throw at me though."
"I was curious, was that your first kiss?" i asked jokingly as I saw her look away, trying to hide her blush. She said nothing as I smirked.
"Guess that was," I laugh as she sighs painfully.
"Did you like it?"
"I'm not answering that."
"Would you like to do it again?"
"Hell no."
I shrug.
"Are those all your questions, if so then leave." Lisanna commanded about to get up and open the door for me to exit.
"No, it wasn't close to nearly all the questions I want to ask you." I tell her as I block the route to the door. She stares at me pitifully. She walks back as she takes her previous seat while I take my place on the wall.
"Lisanna..." I say her name, it was pretty name, and it felt good as I said it.
"Don't sugercoat things." She commanded. As she commanded, I sticked right to the question.
"Why did you want to kill yourself?" I ask painfully, anger, frustration, curiosity all over my voice. And she didn't look surprised.
"I knew you were going to ask me that, no matter how much of an idiot you are." she muttered as she stood up too. My eyes never left her figure as she stood their, her eyes only staring at me, as if she was trying to find the words on how to answer that question.
"I have many reasons, but I have 5 major reasons why. But, I will only share two of them with you," she affirmed.
"Fine, whats the 1st-" I cut off as she pinned me down to the wall. Physically I could over power her easily, but her eyes were terrifying, ruthless, and threatening. And all I did was there, curious t what she was going to do next.
"1st, my life is a lie. It has always been that way. My very existence, is in fact a lie. The words i say are truth though - isn't that strange? I say 'my life is a lie' but since i never lie it is truth. Of course, you don't know me well enough to counter that." She explained as I try to make everything sink in.
"But if-"
"2nd, you. But not just you, the people that I bump into in Japan when I'm on the bus, the people at school. There only two exceptions- my older brother and older sister. Everyone else, your all lying to me. Those are simply my reasons."
"Lisanna Your life is not a lie-"
"Then tell me, Natsu Dragneel. You were laughing with them weren't you? Spreading lies and more lies, gossiping with them, thinking I was a joke. But you know what? Until you know what I'm going through, out of that school campus and walking in the hallways, don't judge me. Unless you looked through these eyes of mine, experienced what I went through in the past and now, and cried as many tears as me, back off! You have absolutely no idea. What it means to be worthless, what it means when someones life is a lie, you have absolutely no clue how that feels? Being beaten up everyday, not knowing what you deserved. Being beaten up everyday, to the point where I didn't want to live anymore, and to the point where no one was there to help me. And even if you didn't spread those rumors and gossips about me, you heard them from your friends: Lucy, Levy, Gray, Gajeel, Jellal, and your other 'friends' your haven't you? You didn't stand up for me after the 20 'daggers' they threw at me didn't you? Of course you didn't! You don't even know me that well, and if you know one legit thing about me, it wasn't until you met me just now right? TELL ME NATSU DRAGNEEL- WHAT IS THE POINT IN LIVING WHEN THE WORLD REJECTS YOUR VERY EXISTENCE? ISNT IT JUST BETTER TO DO AS THE WORLD WISHES- DISPOSING OF THE 'WEAK'? That's what society does anyways. I hate people like you. I HATE THEM! People who don't understand what it means to starve because they have everything. People who don't understand how much your lies hurt, because they can't distinguish the 'lies' with 'truth' since they had been around the 'truth' for all this time. I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO THINK THEY KNOW A PERSON WHEN IN REALITY THEY ONLY KNOW THEM THROUGH GOSSIP, RUMORS, AND LIES! I HATE YOU I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU!" She screamed as she started to punch my chest, " IF YOU HATE ME SO MUCH WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET ME DIE! THATS WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT?!"
I had no words to say, I just stared at her. That's all I could do at this point. I wanted to hold her tight and say sorry, but was that enough? And it wasn't. I hurt her...to the point where forgiveness isn't enough. Guilt swelled within me as I stared at the broken girl in front of me. I've never seen her throw a tantrum like this, and she was probably trying to hold it in. As much as she could. At first she seemed pretty composed, but...of course it didn't last long. She continued to yell and scream at me, but I had no right to retort back. This was my punishment, but it probably wasn't enough to make her satisfied.
She stopped punching, gripping onto my shirt tightly, burying her face in my chest, "Why...did you save me...why were you there...Why..." she whispered as I felt a tear sink into my shirt.
I made her cry.
And it was my first time making a girl cry.
And it was a horrible feeling.
I opened my mouth but closed it. What could I do at this point? 'I'm sorry" was no where close to how much that had hurt...the pain of going into the classroom everyday. And abuse too...What fucking right did I have?
And for once I felt helpless.
And that too, was a horrible feeling.
My arms made it's way to her waist, as I hugged her into my arms, I felt teardrops on my shoulder as I felt her body shake. It was all my fault...and I can't do anything to make her happy...I'm so useless.
That's when I asked the weirdest question ever, and I didn't have a clue why,
"Can...I kiss you?"
LUCY P.O.V.: I stared at the open seat that would usually be occupied by the Fairy Tail vocalist. Was he okay? Was he sick? Then again he hadn't came for a week to school, yet the other Fairy Tail members came. i asked them but it seemed Natsu had recordings for a new album release so he won't be able to come to school in a couple of days.
"Lucy's love interest is not coming today to huh," Cana yawned as I jump in surprise, and blush furiously.
'I was just worried, thats all." I explained as Cana gave me a "nu-uh'
"You miss the hot-head sexy bastard don't you?" Cana teased me as I cross my arms over my chest.
"No i don't!"
"You want a lip smacking kiss with him don't you?" she teased once more. My frustration went to its peak.
"NO I DON'T" i yelled, standing up as the other classmates looked at me with the "what the fuck?" face.
Embarrassment is written all over my face as I sit down quickly, shuffling in my seat. The Fairy Tail members started to laugh and tease me as I pouted in annoyance. I look to the seats next to the window, finding Lisanna's seat empty.
"Is Lisanna not here today?" I ask as Levy scratched her head.
"Wasn't she here yesterday?" asked Gray as I shrug.
"Whatever, she's anti-social and stuff so she's probably alone by herself somewhere," I explain as we continued talking and hanging out.
But even then...
"Natsu..." I say his name in a hushed whisper looking out the window, "Just where are you right now?"
Should I make Natsu kiss Lisanna? YES OR NO?! Also sorry if this chappy was shorter than last time, I was a bit lazy so...sorry about that!
Hope you liked it, and see you in chappy 8!
BAI!~
