Note: I got ten reviews so... I started writing this before I finished chapter 8 because the idea struck me and I just had to write it.
Chapter 9
There's Nowhere We Can Hide
Levy was feeling a bit down today as she walked towards the guild, perhaps Gajeel could make her feel better? It was a long shot, but he usually did something to lift her spirits, if only slightly. She walked inside and over to Gajeel, Lily was amazingly not with him. She swallowed hard before tentatively stepping forward and making a noise to attract his attention.
"Gajeel?" She whispered.
"What Shrimp?" Gajeel snapped; he was not in the mood to be bothered today. "Did you just come over her to ask me to solve one of your stupid problems with your lovers or what? You're freaking annoying, you know that? I don't need some smart, weak, shorty hanging off me all the time."
"I was just coming to say hi, I guess I'll leave you alone now." Levy ducked her head, tears already threatening to spill onto her cheeks. Levy turned and walked quickly towards the back door of the guild, she hid in the small barn the tears finally making their appearance. She cried for what seemed like hours, her sobs echoing to just outside the barn doors.
"Hey Natsu, I was wondering if you might want to go on a job toget-"
"No Lucy! I don't want to go on a job with you ever again. You always end up complaining about how I destroy everything and you're still not able to pay your rent. It's annoying, all I ever get is a complaining Lucy out of every mission we do together. Just go find someone else who will help you get your dang rent because I'm obviously not any help."
"Natsu-" Lucy tried.
"Shut up Lucy and just go away," He growled; Lucy nodded lowering her head as she took the same path as Levy out to the barn. Lucy heard Levy's tears and quickly joined the smaller girl.
"Can I join you?" Lucy asked sitting down next to Levy, tears spilling from her eyes as well.
"Yes… Was yours Natsu?" Levy whispered.
"Yeah, and yours was Gajeel?" Levy nodded and the girls wrapped each other in a hug their crying reaching slightly farther than before.
Lisanna was helping her sister maintain the bar when she heard the topic of conversation at Laxus' table.
"How could I ever like Lisanna? She was supposed to be dead and I think it would've been better for the Strauss' if she had stayed that way. She's so annoying trying to help her sister around this place; she's not nearly as good as the others. Her magic is also weak compared to her siblings; I mean, what's so great about being able to turn into an animal? We have enough of those around the guild; I wish she'd just bugger off honestly." Laxus ground out, to the rainjinshu. The tray of glasses fell from Lisanna's outstretched hand. It cascaded to the floor in a shower of liquid and glass. Lisanna quickly bent down apologizing profusely as she hurriedly cleaned up the mess. Once she was done Lisanna told her sister she would be outside, then she ran for the back door. It was moments later when she joined Levy and Lucy in their crying. Today was just a day for broken hearts; perhaps the next day would be better?
After a couple of hours the girls cries had silenced to sniffles, it was growing dark and they decided it would be best to head home. The girls exited the barn together, sniffles and small whimpers escaping their lips at various moments. They were walking towards the front of the guild when three hulking figures stepped out of the shadows, it was the Dragon Slayers they had been insulted by just hours before. They screamed at the sight, each girl running in a different direction towards their houses. Perhaps it was a bit much to run from them, but they had been insulted by those they loved and it created a sore spot. Apparently there was no where they could hide.
Note: I was listening to some depressing music while writing this. Now I feel all sad inside. Sigh. Ten Reviews maybe?
I'm doing a limited time offer. If you've ever been curious about me then here's your chance. You can ask me any question you want in the reviews and I will answer them. Even if you're a guest you can take part, I'll post all the answers and questions on my profile so you can go and see the answer to your question there. I won't post your name or anything though. So if you want to ask me any questions just do so, though if I personally don't deem them appropriate, or as a too personal question I am allowed to veto the question. Thanks! Leave me a review! ~May
