Bold Italic- song

Italic- past


Natsu POV

I threw a foam ball up in the air. Catching it when it fell in back down. I was in bed, sick. I wanted to be out today looking to see if Lucy was preforming in the park today, but instead, I was trapped in my room. A empty bowl and a glass of water sat on my table that sat right next to my bed. Reaching for the cup, I knocked over the picture of me and my friends over on the ground. A loud crack came from the picture frame, glass shattering all over the ground. Groaning, I reached down to pick it up but ended up spilling the water all over the now exposed picture. Cursing, I carefully picked up the picture, trying not to tare it.

When I brought it up to my face was when it finally tore. Lucy, who was on the side of the picture with me next to her, was the one that fell on the side. Me and my other friends remained, smiling up at the picture. Setting down that half, I picked up the one with my blonde friend in it. I stared blankly at her smiling face. Every time I looked at this, I wondered if her smile was fake, along with the rest of the time she had smiled.

Leaning back in the pillow, I let out a loud sneeze followed by a weak wheeze. Closing my eyes, I clutched the half picture of my best friend to my chest as I drifted off to dream land.


Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused


Middle School

"Come back here Flame-breath!" Ice-brain yelled out behind me. I continued running down the school's hallway, trying to out run my enemy.

Gazing over my shoulder I stook my tongue out to the raven haired boy. Laughing when I heard him yell, I turned a sharp corner and started running up the sudden stairs that appeared before me. Finally reaching the the top I swung the door open and ran outside into the warm air, slamming the door behind me. I was on the roof. Panting, I looked ahead and silently gasped. A blonde girl stared back at me, her brown eyes widened as well. She had on the required school uniform.

I gave her a kind smile before walking over to her and plopping down. "Sorry, I didn't know someone else was up here." I apologized.

She shrugged, getting up from her seat she didn't glance at me. "It's fine, I was just leaving." she was about to walk away when I suddenly grabbed her wrist. She gave me a questioning look.

"Where are you going? Come hang out with me." I smiled up at her again as I pulled her back down.

She gave me a bewildered look. "Don't you know who I am?" she asked. I furrowed my eyebrows. Studying her, I told myself I really haven't seen this girl before. Maybe she's just weird.

"No, but if we're going to do introductions, I'm Natsu Dragneel."

She returned the smile finally. "Lucy."

"Well Luce, what do you usually do here?" I asked, getting curious why she was up her and not where everyone else ate. Her eyes widened once again before starting to babble on about all the important things she did up here. Luce talked a lot, but I didn't mind, I continued to smile and nod.

Looking down at my watch, I noticed the time. Getting up I saw Luce give me a confused look. "I'm going to go to my friends now."

She gave me a sad look. "Alright, bye." she whispered before turning away.

Tightening my lips in a tight line, I called out to her. "Hey, you want to come?" I saw her perk up to that. Running over to me, she followed me out of the roof.


I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again


High School

I was smiling widely. I had finally asked Lisanna out. It felt good. I was so distracted by my thoughts Lisanna called me. "Natsu, don't you have to be somewhere?" My eyes widened when I knew what she meant. Lucy.

"Oh! Right! C'mon, we'll go on our date after I talk to her." I said, pulling me along with her.

She giggled. "Okay." When we finally made it to the front of the school, I saw Lucy looking at up with wide eyes. She started running away in another way. I tried calling after her but Lisanna pulled my sleeve. "Natsu, the date." she pouted. Pursing my lips, I allowed her to drag me along with her.


Lucy didn't come to school for the last few days worrying me, Erza, and Gray. The day she finally came back she ignored my calls. A month later she started talking to us. But she never looked happy.


I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at faults
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends


That Summer

I smiled at my two favorite girls. "Okay, let's do a competition. Who ever plays the bass better get's to play in the band, sound like fun?" They nodded, both smiling. After the conditions, the band and I talked things over. "I think Lucy should be the new bass player." Ice-breathe suggested. Erza nodded.

"I think Lisanna should be the bass player." I whispered. Their mouths dropped.

"Her?! You've got to be kidding me, she sucks dude!" Erza again, nodded in agreement.

"Look, I'm the leader, I get to choose who plays what. I pick Lisanna and that's that." I stated, getting up to tell who won. After telling them, Lisanna squealed and jumped in my arms, giving me a kiss on the lips. I glanced at Lucy who was looking away. My heart cracked. She really was amazing, Luce. But I was so afraid that Lisanna would break up with me if I did. I was weak, I probably always will be.


I strummed the guitar, humming the tune that the music from my ear bud's provided. Just then the lyrics, 'I just shrugged my shoulders.' I shrugged, I always did that. Just then I heard thundering footsteps exit my garage. Looking over my shoulder, I saw no one there. Shrugging it off I went back to strumming my guitar.


Leaning back in my seat, I let out a long sigh. I broke up with Lisanna a while ago. She was always 'let's do this' or 'let's ditch your sucky band Natsu and go on a date'. What really stung at that last one. Just then Erza and Gray came running in. "Natsu, do you know where Lucy is?" Erza asked anxiously.

I shook my head. "Damn it, we were ignoring her the other day because we felt so bad that we didn't convince you to choose her for the bass contest."

My eyes widened. "What?!"


I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight


Present

We looked all over for her that day, and the day after that, for a whole year. She didn't attend our school anymore, or that's what I heard. It hurt. It should've been her, for the bass place, being right next to me, and being my...girlfriend.
