Juvia continued on and on with her explaining. He looked angry. No, more like pissed.
'Maybe I should tell him how I feel about him...That might calm him down.'
She blushed at the thought of confessing her feelings to him, but she had to do it, sooner or later.
"But Sting, the truth is that...that I...I love you Sting. And I..."
His eyes widened at first, but then he started laughing like a maniac. He looked down at her and rolled his eyes. Well...that's not a reaction she expected to see. She was shocked. What does this mean?
"Look Juvia, I'm not like that. I want you to be mine, only mine. I want all of you for myself, got it? I don't want to see you with those ice princesses, but you just can't decide between me, Gray and Lyon."
Juvia looked at Sting with disbelief. This is not happening. Why is he being like that to her? She just confessed to him and he says those things.
"You rejected me?"
She asked, hoping to hear what she wanted.
"Yes."
He said calmly as if nothing's happening, but that broke her heart in half. Her eyes started to water and she wanted to curl up in a ball and cry.
"And you hate me?"
He looked at her confused.
"What? I don't hate you."
"But you do."
"No, I don't."
"Then what's the problem? Am I not good enough?"
'Was she listening to anything I said?'
"No. What are you talking about? You're...perfect."
He whispered and she was hoping that he would take his words back and be with her. Her eyes lit up with hope and he wondered why was he suddenly so nice to her?
"But we can't be together until you clear your mind."
He continued and she looked down sadly. He started caressing her hair softly, which calmed her down a little. He was feeling guilty, even though this was all her fault.
"I know that you love me, but you love those ice bastards too. Am I wrong? Or am I too selfish to want you for myself? I don't want to share you with them, Juvia."
He let go of her hair and she immediately missed his touch. He expected her to say something, but she stayed silent and he decided to continue.
"See...that's what I'm telling you. Decide between us or else..."
He stopped to think about something. He was deep in his thoughts for more than a minute and yet she didn't say anything. His face darkened and he suddenly became a different person.
"But maybe you want all of us. Maybe one isn't enough for a girl like you!"
He screamed at her. He looked at her with pure hate. Many emotions were seen on her face. Confusion, hurt, sadness, fear and finally anger.
'A girl like you...'
She kept repeating these words in her mind and hoped that it's not what she thinks it is. She tried to explain to him. He didn't try to understand.
"Girl like you, huh? Are you telling me that I'm a bitch?"
"Look, let's forget it. Do you know how many girls would kill to be in your place right now?"
He didn't want to answer it. Running away seemed like a better opinion than answering, but he couldn't escape Juvia that easy.
"I don't care about them. Answer my question Sting!"
She snapped at him. Now it was her turn to yell and be angry. Who does he think he is? He can't have any girl he wants. Idiot.
"I don't want to."
"Then let me answer it for you. You called me a bitch, right?"
He seemed taken aback by this. Saying that out loud sounds harsh if it's meant for Juvia. But then again, that's what he wanted to say.
"Yes! If you want all of us, then it's a yes!"
He yelled at her. She opened her mouth to speak, but stopped to think. What and who does she want?
"But...I don't want all of you...I want...I..."
She whispered softly. She wanted him, but for some reason, she couldn't say that. Why?
"See. You can't even say that you want me, but despite that, I still love you. But how can I call you mine, when you have a crush on those ice idiots? I will say this one last time. I want you only..."
And that's when she slapped him. She's crying, but her eyes were full of anger. Her fingerprints can be seen on his right cheek. He lifted his hand to rub it. That's when reality hit him. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He overreacted and it might be too late now. They were supposed to have date today, be happy, hold hands, kiss...not this. And who is he to call her a bitch? That might be the biggest lie he ever said. No one is stupid enough to think about her like that. He just wanted to bent down and kiss her, but it wouldn't be right. He doesn't deserve her. He wanted to hug her at least, but she started yelling again.
"I get it. Okay? You want me to be yours. I want it too, but all you did was...well...you didn't do anything. Gray and Lyon are desperately trying to win over my heart, while you're doing nothing. You wanna call me yours? Then do something! Make me yours. I heard what you're doing to other girls. One-night stands, huh? I'm not sure if I'm just one of them and yet I'm still here with you. Isn't that enough?"
She whispered the last part, silently crying.
'How could I be so foolish?'
She knew what kind of guy he is. He was popular in Fiore. He was in every single magazine. She investigated about him yesterday. List of his ex-girlfriends couldn't be written on a single page. And yet she tried to believe that he changed. She changed for him. Why couldn't he do the same? It hurt her to stand there, in front of him.
He just looked at her speechless. She's right. He has to do something, or she might just walk away from him. She might end up with Gray or Lyon.
"I..."
"Save it! I don't want to hear anything from you!"
She turned around and ran away. He just watched her. Sure, he was faster than her, but he didn't have strength to move. He let her go.
