"I-i love you lucy heartfilia"
"I love you natsu dragneel''
It's school and ever since we confessed to each other it… well it gets awkward. We can't be in a room alone together without my heart beating in and out of my chest. I can't help but sigh while sitting in class thinking about it…
FLASHBACK
"I-i love you lucy heartfilia" natsu says as I say in reply "I love you natsu dragneel". The two of us staring deeply into each others eyes. Finally natsu the first one to look away looks down and says "I'm sorry" softly enough for me to hear. I stare at him waiting for him to say something. "I-I shouldn't of said that… can w-we… can we please forget about that?" natsu asks me. I feel embarrassed!I look down at the ground. "y-yeah me too It was by accident" I say as a blush goes on my face. An awkward silence fills the air. I stand up and say "good night" and start running inside. Natsu looking confused as I continue to run. I can't help but cry into my pillow when I reach my room.
I wipe the tears from my eyes and hug the pillow tightly. "I shouldn't have confessed so I wouldn't have to feel like this" I say to myself as I continue to cry into my pillow. I feel like shit really, just over a little mistake like a confession. I wipe my face again and put down my pillow. "I shouldn't have to feel like this" I say to myself and open my door. I walk down the long hallway and turn to the bathroom. I turn on the taps for water and splash it on my face. I grab a towel and wipe my face. I stand over the sink and look up at the mirror. I look into my reflection in the mirror. I sigh and look down. Why does he even like me in the first place? I walk out of the bathroom, bumping into someone in the process. I look up and it's igneel. In his pajamas, hair all messy. I never seen him look like this before without his hair all done up and dressed in a expensive suit.
"lucy? what are you doing up?"
FLASHBACK END
'DING-DONG' the bell goes as class ends. I walk out of the class room. I walk down the hall way as students flood out from the classrooms. I walk towards my locker and of course right on time. Natsu walks by with his group of jocks. We make eye contact and I look away to the side. Him still looking at me as he walks by. "tch" is all I hear from his mouth. I sigh and stop at my locker. I open it and levy comes rushing to my side, gajeel standing by her side also. "what'cha doing lu-chan?" levy asks me. I smile and look at her "nothing much you?"
Sting didn't come today since he's sick so I guess i'm walking home alone today. I push the doors open and start walking towards the street side.
As I walk someone runs past me fast and I get startled. I look and it's lissana running towards natsu. I stare as she runs and leaps on to natsu. I look away and decide to take a short cut. I turn left as the two disappear from my sight.
I walk in silence looking at all the stores. I pass by a music store and stop immediately. I look in to see if it's open. I walk in and take a look around. It smells of old paper and wood, everywhere is filled with music posters and local band performance posters, some famous ones also on the walls. "may I help you?" says a guy with yellow spiked styled hair and headphones on his head. A big jacket on his back held by his shoulders. He also has a huge chest and muscles."um no i'm just looking around" I say. I recognize who he is. "aren't you laxus dreyar from fairy tail academy?" I say as I look around once more. "yeah my dad owns the shop, it's my shift right now" He says with a husky voice. I continue to walk. I look towards the back of the store and see cello's and violin's aligned. I stare in amazement as I see different colors of cello's. One catches my eye, a baby blue cello sitting there with copper strings. I decide to look away since I'll be tempted to buy it.
I walk towards the further back and I look and find old music records. Mostly classical and Bach. I look at the price and they're only fifteen cents each. I grab my wallet and I count my money. I have about twenty in my wallet. I search the records. I got so many records from Mozart to bon jovi. I got some for my mom since she loves rock. I have about twenty five in my hands and walk to the checkout. Laxus sits on the chair calmly before I slam all of them on the counter, startling him in the process. "holy shit blondie, You into old music?" laxus asks me as he looks at all the records. "Uh yeah I guess so, I love classical music. The rock ones are for my mom" I say embarrassed. He laughs as he counts out how many there are.
As I walk home with the records in the bag, I can't help but feel happy and excited. I can't wait to listen to them all. I run my fastest towards home. By the time I reach the house I'm sweating so much and out of breath. "lucy is that you?" my mother calls me. "coming !" I shout as I walk up the stairs tired from the running. "lucy I got great news the-" my mom tries to say as I cut her off. "mom I found this music store and I bought a bunch of old records for us" I shout excited and shove the bag at her. She looks in and gasps. She lifts out a record and says "you got me guns n' roses?!" she hugs me and grabs all her records and walks away fast."wait mom! you were going to say something?" I ask before she runs to play them all. "oh yes! the people from the auditorium says the got enough musicians and you still got that part in the musical!" she screams at me. Frozen I can't help but scream and hug her. "whats going on here?" igneel says. We tell him about my part in the musical.
Finally some good news. I grab my cello and records and head towards the study. They have a record player in there I think. I clutch my cello, I haven't played it in awhile I think to myself. Ever since that moment in the garden I think, even before that.
Finally I reach the study. I put my cello down on the desk and look for the record player. I look and see a white record player sitting on a table. I walk towards it and put a record in it. Music floods the room and I sit down and close my eyes. Imagining a musician playing the notes. I can't help but think about the musical I'll be playing in. As the song ends I grab my cello and start practicing once again…
It feels nice to play the cello, It's calming to me. It's like the notes take away all the stress until the song is over. I finish my solo and I breath in slowly. Droplets of sweat go down my forehead and face. I put down my cello and my 'magic wand'. I like to call it that since it's better than calling it a bow. I sigh and look out the window behind the study desk. It's dark out, I check the time. 6:04 shows on the screen of my phone. I stretch my arms out and put my head back. I guess another record wouldn't hurt. I grab the records and search for one to listen to. "String Quartet No.1 in D major, OP 11" title shows on a record. Only one song is on it called Andante Cantabile by Alexander Kniazev. I walk towards the record player and insert it. The song comes on, It sounds calm and soothing. The song goes slow. I close my eyes and put my head back and continue to listen to the song.
The song gets interrupted by a knock on the door. I say "come in" before the person walks in. "So this is where you were hiding all this time." grandine says as she walks towards the record player. I stifle a laugh "yeah I've been practicing for my solo" I say as grandine turns to smile at me. "I just came down to say dinner's ready" she says as she walks back to the door. "can I eat down here? I want to keep practicing" I say before she left. She nods her head as she shuts the door. I sigh in relief because truth is. I don't want to see natsu's face. It'll embarrass me and I'll feel like shit again. I walk to the recorder and shut it off. I walk to the door and head upstairs for dinner.
As I reach upstairs I see natsu walk by. He looks at me with wide eyes. "I-uh" he says before I interrupt him by walking by fast. "shut up" I say as I go by him. I hear him almost growling at me. I stop and turn to look at him. I give him a look and continue walking to the kitchen. Teaches him I think to myself as I grab a plate from the cupboards.
As I garb a bite from my plate of food I look at my music notes and study them. I brought them when I was heading down here. I chew my food and swallow. I wipe my hands and get up from the chair. I walk towards the huge window behind me. I look outside, the view is amazing. I look around and everywhere is filled with city lights, buildings, and suburban houses. This is the best house yet. nice views and is amazingly huge. I gasp as I look down towards the door. I see natsu walking out with a red hoodie and gray sweatpants. He kicks the grass and shouts loud enough for me to hear. He looks up and goes inside again. I turn my back on the window. I clench my fist and bring it to my chest. My heart thumping loudly. Stupid emotions… Why do we even have them? Every one is heartless anyways. I sigh and grab my cello and start to play again.
I yawn tiredly. I've been down here almost half the day. I haven't even checked my phone either. I unlock my phone, two new messages from sting and levy.
"Did I miss anything today?
- sting. E"
Guess what lu-chan! Gajeel invited me to his practice! txt me later to see how it goes!
- bookworm levy"
I laugh at levy's message. Everyone knows they like each other, I guess now they're finally now starting. I message her back.
"how did it go?
-lucy heart"
"good, gajeel was so tired after it so we didn't get to do anything after
-bookworm levy"
"so it was a date?
-lucy heart"
She didn't text me back yet. probably mad or something. I yawn again and put my cello back in it's case. I set it down by the desk and I set the song over again on the recorder. Once more shouldn't hurt. I sit down again and look out the window. I gaze out and close my eyes. I imagine this time I'm playing the notes fast and then slowly. Touching the strings and playing the song. The song comes to an end. I flutter my eyes open. I stretch my arms. I hear the door open. I notice who it is.
"natsu"
I wrote this chapter twice since I couldn't choose an ending. This came in late, soorryy!
