Chapter 10: Lost it All
-Rogue's POV (Yes He's Back)-
It had been about six days since I had seen Lucy and for some reason worry filled most of my heart. She didn't come to school and every time I mentioned her to her friends, Erza and Levy had a look on their face like they were about to cry. I just didn't understand why they seemed so sad or upset. Sting caught me staring off into space most of the time. I would always tell him that nothing was wrong and that I was just having a rough day. I was feeling strange and I didn't have a single clue as to why I was feeling this way. It did surprise me one day when he asked if I liked Lucy. At first I brushed it off as nothing but the more I thought about it the more it made sense. I didn't even really know her but for some reason just the thought of her being into trouble or something being wrong with her made me feel like somebody had ripped my heart right out of my chest. She didn't know it but I cried the day I seen her scarred wrists. As the past few days passed I realized that what Sting said was completely true. The reason why I feel so strange and empty when I think of her was as clear as the water on the bottle in front of me. My eyes widened in revelation as I sat in the middle of the classroom.
'I….I have a crush on Lucy Heartfilia.'
-Laxus' POV-
Three days had passed since Lucy entered her into the coma that was claiming her life. I spent every day with her. Her father didn't act like he gave a shit so I was going to be the one to be there for her like he should be. The doctors told me that it was best if I told only her closest friends about what was going on so I told Erza and Levy. They came to see her as often as school would allow them. My grandpa did as well. This is how he found out we were dating. I hadn't gotten around to telling him with all that had been going on. He seemed severely concerned about Lucy for some reason. I was scared and concerned. I had read online that people who woke up from comas, if they did, had a high rate of memory loss. I was so scared that she would wake up and not have a single clue who I was. A sad feeling started tugging at my heart and tears started to well up in my eyes as I drove down the road. I was going to see her now. Erza convinced me to go home and shower, grabbing a few things and some flowers from the house while I was there. I was now back at the hospital making my way up the same elevator I had three days ago when the doctor first told me the news of Lucy's coma. I walked out of the elevator and made my way into the small room. I walked over to her bedside table and replaced the flowers in her vase with the fresh ones I had bought then threw away the old ones. I slowly sat down on the bed next to the fragile girl. I placed a hand on her cheek and slowly began to stroke it.
"Hey, Lucy. I put some fresh flowers in your vase. Please wake up Lucy. I miss you. I miss your smile, your voice, your' lips on mine. Hell! I miss everything about you. I miss being able to hold you in my arms. Please Luce! Come back to me!"
Tears started to fall from my face and stain the blankets covering the young girl. I lowered my hand from her cheek and found her hand, holding it in mine. I squeezed it lightly as the tears poured out of my eyes. I looked at the girl laying on that god awful bed. Her eyes lightly shut. I don't know why but for some reason it looked as if her eyes fluttered slightly. It must have been from my imagination from where I was crying. I glanced off and looked out the window but quickly jolted my head back when I felt a small tug on my hand. I looked down and starred astonished at what I seen. Lucy was squeezing my hand. I looked at her face and noticed she had parted her lips and was breathing harshly. The door to her room opened and nurses rushed in. They didn't even have to tell me to leave I got up and walked out of the room.
-Five Minute Time Skip-
I stood outside her door for what seemed like forever when the nurses finally came out of her room. They each gave me a slight smile which quickly faded into a frown. A slight pain came up in my chest as I walked into the room. I looked at the girl who was now sitting up in bed with her eyes wide open. She looked at me shortly after. Seeing those chocolate brown eyes brought tears to my eyes. The doctor was there with her and gave me an assuring smile. She was finally awake. I could finally hold her again. Or so I thought.
"Everything looks fine health wise Mr. Dreyar but, there is only one problem."
"What's the problem."
"She doesn't remember anything. Our fears have come true. She has developed amnesia. However she has been chanting one person's name over and over again for the past several minutes."
"Who?"
Lucy finally spoke but what she said totally caught me off guard and tore my heart in half.
"Rogue."
My eyes widened in surprise as I stared at my girlfriend. I felt like my whole world had fallen apart. I had completely lost it all. I ran out of the room as tears sprang from my eyes like a waterfall once more. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and immediately dialed Erza's number. It rang three times before she picked up. I composed myself enough to speak to the red headed girl.
"Hello? Laxus?"
"She's awake Erza."
"Oh my gosh are you serious! I'll get Levy and come down there right now."
"Erza…she doesn't remember any of us. She has amnesia. The only person she remembers is some guy named Rogue."
-Erza's POV-
I heard my phone ring and I stepped out of class so I could answer it. It was Laxus.
"Hello? Laxus?"
"She's awake Erza."
"Oh my gosh are you serious! I'll get Levy and come down there right now."
"Erza…she doesn't remember any of us. She has amnesia. The only person she remembers is some guy named Rogue."
A slight gasp escaped my lips after he gave me that tad bit of information. 'The only person she remembers is Rogue? Why Rogue?'
"Who is this Rogue character Erza?"
"He's a boy who just transferred here about a week and a half ago. Right when school started. Before you two started dating she tried to befriend him."
"Tell him what's going on and bring him down here. I want Lucy to be around someone she thinks she knows. We'll work on building back up her memories later. I need to blow off some steam though so I'm going home. Later!"
I heard the phone click signaling that he had hung up. I placed my phone back in my pocket and started to walk back into the room but the bell rung. I stood in the hallway and waited. I noticed a man with black hair walk out of one of the rooms down the hall. I rushed to catch up with him.
"Rogue!"
The young boy turned to face me as I finished walking up to him. 'Oh, boy. Here we go.'
"Rogue, I need to talk to you. It's about Lucy."
(A.N. And there you have it. It looks like we are stuck in a complex situation ehh. Please don't hate me. I promise that LaLu is not over. Lucy has amnesia and only remembers Rogue. I sense bad luck in the air. But hey at least you RoLu fans get some stuff while Lucy tries to gain back her memories.)
