Natsu's P.O.V

We had been there for an hour and it was driving me crazy. There was no way we could find out what was going on because Juvia's mom hadn't come out of those double doors yet. I stood up and started to pace... How much longer? I need to tell her I'm sorry, and that she means everything to me. I need to tell her she's my only reason for smiling and that I'm never going to hurt her again. She needs to know. I just wanted her to know I didn't mean any of it and that she was my best friend.

Just then, Jude Heartfilia and Sting walked in and came storming towards us. Sting readied his fist to hit me but Jude stopped it.

"Now now Sting, you will have your time to talk to Mr. Dragneel. But for now, he and I must have a chat." His voice had a tone that made the hairs on my arms stick straight up.

He had never been a kind man, especially not to Lucy. He never paid any attention to her, and he only did things that would benefit him. He could never be trusted, especially not with Lucy. I hated him.

He pointed to a couple of empty seats in the waiting room signaling me towards them and we sat down. His eyes were boiling a hole in my head, the blood rushed through my body, he was a scary guy. His eyes came off as someone who shouldn't be messed with but at the same time there was a lot of pain there.

"What do you want, Mr. Heartfilia?" I said with a quiet tone, man, I could not look him straight in the eyes without stumbling over my words.

"Oh Natsu, no need to be so formal. I'm just Jude to you. How have you been? Ah, but you don't really want to chat do you?" His smirk and tone were starting to piss me off.

"So, we'll get straight to it. You're fired. you're father still has his job, however, so have a nice day, oh, and stay away from Lucy. That's not a question. Your time with her is done."

He began to walk away when I grabbed his wrist. He looked furious at first but then became more calm. He didn't expect that from me or, maybe he did?

"Like hell I will I-" I stopped myself right there. Talking to him pissed off and angry won't help my cause, not with him anyway.

"Please don't do this... I never meant for any of this to happen. I can do better I swear, just don't make me stay away. She's my best friend!"

He looked at me with a smirk before speaking. I hated this fucking bastard so much.

"Natsu, have you fallen in love with my daughter?" I looked from his eyes to my feet. And began to stumble over my words. "I-"

He started laughing and grabbed his sides as if I had just told the funniest joke he's ever heard, prick.

"Look, you've done good so far but as far as I'm concerned, my daughter is in the hospital from what seems to be a suicide attempt because you somehow play a key role in this. Now, you're not in any trouble so just leave it at that. Your time of having to always have to watch over her is done. Don't you want to go on and have your own life? Go to college, find a girl, and settle down, live your life. Lucy can't be with you even if you wanted to, and that's why I sent in Sting he is the one I've arranged to marry her off with."

He then pointed to me in the direction of where Sting now stood talking to a nurse about Lucy, and she was handing him scrubs?! Why did he get to go in and see her?!

"Wait! I need to go in there! Mr. Heartfilia please, I have been with her this whole time its me who should be in there when she wakes up! Please let me see her just one more time please."

He mulled this over with a pensive look before he finally spoke again. And what he said, broke my heart into a million pieces before I turned, slowly grabbed my things and walked out the hospital door, and Gray ran after me.

"Natsu! Where are you going? You're just going to leave after all this?" He looked exasperated talking to me, my poor best friend.

"I have to go, you just don't understand. Mr. Heartfilia said I had too and that is that."

I slowly stumbled and walked away as my heart broke over and over again in the darkness of the night.
