Chapter 10: Fear

While replaying the image of everyone leaving my house I start to realize that I have seen this image many times with different people. Family, friends, and people I care for. Even if it isn't the exact same image, I can mentally picture the image. While reading Stings note over and over I start to cry again, He is the first person to come back to me….

As I slowly walk back to my bed I start to wonder what this irregular heartbeat is, whenever I go near Sting I get this tight painful yet warm feeling in my heart. I fall down on my bed while still pouring a few tears from my eyes.

Lucy's Dream:

As my child self runs up to my mom screaming her name I hug her from behind "Lucy!" My mom turns around to face me and kneels down to my level and asks "Do you need something" She smiles, for some reason I can't see her eyes, they are being covered by her bangs. "What should I be when I grow up?" I give her a warm smile

"Lucy, I can't tell you who to be or what your future will be, you have to be able to crave out your future yourself" My mom pats my head and walks away slowly

Lucy's Dream ends

Am I being haunted by the past? Why do old memories keep on popping up? I sigh as I look outside the window, "Ah… It's already the next day? I guess I cried so hard that I tired myself out" I sigh as I walk downstairs while stretching and yawning. My eyes widen to see a sleeping Sting lying down on a couch that I have never seen before. I look around my house and I see new furniture in my house, I wonder who did this.

As I look at Sting's silent sleeping face, I kneel down to his level on the couch and smile. "I should wake him up…" As I was about to reach my hand out to his hand to wake him up but I heard a small, spine shivering and quiet shiver say Do you want to get hurt again? I didn't understand what that meant but I made my heart hurt so I pull my hand back to my chest and lower my head. I bite my lip and force my eyes shut trying to cry and lift my head up to the ceiling telling myself quietly " I can't cry now"

Sting's POV:

Right now I guess I'm sleeping on Lucy's couch, I don't know if she bought this or if her guild bought this for her but all I know is that I want to say sorry for being partly responsible for breaking her piano. It happened again though, when I tried to help someone, I ended up hurting them instead…

As I slowly open my eyes I can see Lucy's sad eyes looking down at my eyes, her beautiful brown eyes have suddenly for a minute have turned into sad and cold eyes for a second they turned back to normal when I fully opened my eyes. Her face lit up like a candle in the darkness when I woke up. "Your awake now Sting!" She smiled and blushed lightly. From seeing her just smiling I slightly blush and cover my mouth with my hand while getting up into a sitting position on the couch.

I scratch the back of my head and lower my whole body while saying in a very loud voice "I'm sorry!" I raise my head a little bit a Lucy looks very surprised, she blinks and tilts her head while saying in a really cute innocent voice "Why are you saying sorry" As I explode from her saying it like that, I look away and sigh "Your piano broke because of me and you were crying over the cookies right?" I reach for the bag that I brought from home and give it to her while holding her hand out, her hand is strangely hot.

Lucy's POV:

Sting takes my hand and puts a bag in it, it was a really cute and colorful bag. I opened the bag and it was a rainbow was shot out of the bag, chocolate cookies were inside there. The whole room felt like it was sparkling from the wave of happiness that was formed inside of me. Sting smiled at me and patted my head, he pulled my head closer to his and whispered in my ear

"I like you…."

I don't remember what happened after that but it seems like I have passed out right now.

Sting's POV:

I couldn't keep it to myself anymore, I had to tell her that I liked her. I brought her closer to my head and I put my mouth near her ear and whispered the secret that I have I guess is dear to me "I like you…" I watch as Lucy falls to the ground from passing out… "LUCY!" I scream as I carry her to her bedroom, I feel the top of her head with my hand… She's burning up!

Lucy's POV

I passed out, guess I have a fever. I wonder if what Sting said to me was a dream, if it wasn't a dream I don't know how to respond to him, I would say I like you back but every time I go near someone I care for they always end up getting hurt or disappearing. I don't want Sting to end up disappearing like my parents and Natsu… I will admit, I did like Natsu for a while but after getting hurt, I don't think I can like anyone again for a very long time.

If I'm honest, I'm jealous of sleeping beauty when she's asleep, you don't have to feel anything while your sleeping and plus no one gets hurt this way, that's my opinion.
