Chapter 10
Lucy's POV
"Natsu…" I said quietly as I stared down at my hands, not daring to look up at the angered fire mage punching the wall in front of me. His fist flamed with rage, giving me a gateway into what he was thinking. "There's no way to stop this. I knew it would happen eventually, and i'm ready." I whispered and suddenly, he stopped punching the wall.
"YOU DON'T KNOW THAT! THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY TO MAKE YOU STOP THINKING LIKE THAT! THE CURE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITHIN YOUR GRASP, BUT YOU NEVER TRIED! JUST BE HAPPY, GOD DAMN IT!" He screamed, fire burning around him. I looked at him confusingly, for I didn't get what he was putting down.
"What are you talking about? I got this genetically from my mother. I can't just 'be happy' and it would poof away, Natsu. That's not how diseases work." I said blankly to him, getting up to face him head on.
"YES! IT IS! THIS ISN'T A GENETIC DISEASE!" He hollered at me. I froze and stared into his onyx abysses. They screamed seriousness and sincerity. He looked at me, realizing what he had just said and covered his mouth.
"What do you mean by that, Natsu? What are you hiding from me?" I asked, slowly creeping up to him, with shaky steps. "Oh, it's nothing that you need to know! How about you just lay back down…" He said quickly, trying obviously to skip my question. He began to push me towards the cot I was previously in, but I quickly hopped to the side. I stared at him with, what everyone called, the 'Erza Stare', which pretty much made anybody confess and cower in fear. This time was no different. He flew to the corner of the room and covered his eyes, repeating to himself that he wouldn't tell.
"Oh really? Then I guess i'll just have to go behind the bar and grab some pills I saw while you were carrying me in here! I'll watch you in heaven!" I said in a singsong voice as I walked towards the door, not lying at all. I would do it if I wanted to.
Suddenly, There was a hand on my shoulder and I was gently put against one of the walls. Natsu's hands were on both sides of me, preventing me from escape.
I watched as he slowly lowered his head to my ear and whispered,"Don't play with me, Luce. This isn't a game that you can just manipulate. I'll tell you everything that Porlyusica did. Just get back in the cot." He brought his left arm down and allowed me to move from the space, maneuvering me back to the cot."
I sat back down on the cot, allowing Natsu to also sit. He sat down roughly and began.
(AN: I don't want to write this, so if you forgot, just go back to Chapter 6. Sorry!)
When he finished,I was in a state of complete shock. 'Why would Porlyusica hide this from me? I could have been cured by now!' I thought deeply to myself, not paying attention to Natsu as he stood up and walked to the door. It wasn't until I heard the door close that I realized that I was alone again.
In the back of my head, I heard a voice telling me to go to the bathroom. I obediently followed the voices' order and walked into the bathroom. There was an open window and I hopped out. I didn't need the voice anymore to know what I could do. There were so many possibilities, but I had one that was worthy. There isn't anything to overthink. I was doing this.
And no one is going to stop me this time.
Natsu's POV
I walked out of the room and quickly had Mira make a sandwich and a smoothie for Lucy, for I knew she hadn't had anything to eat in a while. After Mira handed me the tray with a sad smile, I made my way back to the infirmary. I pushed the door open with my back and entered, a smile on my face. 'I hope I got to her and she'll stop trying to…' I began to think to myself before I dropped the tray. Lucy wasn't in here.
I ran out of the infirmary. Everybody turned to me with questioning glances.
"Lucy's not here" I said before I dashed out of the guild, looking for the stellar blonde's scent. I found it and ran.
'Even after I told her everything, she still tries!' I screamed in my thoughts as I ran down Strawberry Street, the street that Lucy lived down.
After a couple of minutes, I found myself in Lucy's bathroom. There was a ladder leading up to a hatch, which I knew led to the roof of the building. "No…" I said as I scattered to the ladder and rapidly climbed up.
When I reached the top, I saw Lucy sitting on the ledge of the roof, looking down at the bustling streets and people. There was a couple kissing on the bridge over the river. There was a bunch of people gathered underneath the complex, looking up at her.
Then, she shakily started to stand and said in a quiet voice, "Natsu. I know you're there. I want you to stop, please. There's nothing you can say or do to stop me. I can sense the guild would be here any moment and stop me, so I have to jump. I can't take this pain anymore. My mother died, then my father! This is all happening because of my stupid emotions! I've been delaying this since a week after finding out. I was actually going to commit… this… that day that you guys found out. I was going to the guild one last time before I was going to head home and jump gracefully of of the cliff over the ocean, but then I fainted, and you know the rest. I still have a list of other ways if you ruin this one. I can hang myself, I could drown myself in the river, I could even just run until my trachea…"
I ran over to her and cried. I cried harder than I ever did before. When Igneel left, when Lisanna died… Those tears couldn't add up to the ones I was shedding then and there.
"Please… I can't lose you… Not like you did before.I promised your future self I would protect you and your future. I guess i'm protecting you from yourself. Just stop. Please. I love you with all my heart. If you died, I don't know what I would do. Maybe kill myself to be with you." I said into her shirt, holding her as close as I could and sobbing. I heard a gasp when I finished and felt tears dribble onto my head.
"Okay. I love you too, Natsu. You've got me in a sinch. I don't think that I can do this if you say you'll kill yourself if I die." She said as she smiled and genuine smile. I smiled back at her and lead her to the hatch leading back down to her bathroom.
Suddenly, there was a yellow glow around her and she shrieked.
"LUCY!"
There we go! Cliffhangers are the best, aren't they? This took forever to write since it is 4th of July and I had to *ugh* socialize. I know, right!? So annoying! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and please support! The more the merrier!
Random Question: If you had your own dragon that taught you, what would it be (element) and what would it's name be?
My Answer: My dragon would be for water and it's name would be Apalalas, which was a water-dwelling dragon in Buddhist mythology.
Buh-Bye!
