Hi guys! Here is chapter 12! I'm about to go out of town, so the next chapter might be kinda late. I have been working really hard on some short stories for my Creative Writing class, and completely forgot about about this (sorry) Please tell me where you want the plot of this story to go, I love your feedback. Let's get on to the story! Enjoy!
Juvia woke up to the sound of a hotel door opening. She opened her eyes and was greeted with the sight of the blonde woman and the hooded girl leaving the room. They noticed Juvia's consciousness.
"We were never here," the blonde hissed. Her eye makeup was gathered in the corner of her eyes and some mascara littered her upper cheeks in flakes. Juvia wondered what her name was. She must of told her. Juvia strained for the memory, but all events of the nights reappeared in her mind blurry and disoriented. Juvia tried to ask her, but when she looked back to the door her and the other girl were already gone.
Juvia felt something move next to her. It was Gray, naked. That fact didn't surprise her considering his stripping habit, and Juvia herself was clothed so she assumed nothing happened between them last night. She was slightly disappointed. She had secretly hoped this party would be the thing that brought the two of them together. Gray stirred in his sleep.
"Gray-sama… Wake up!" Juvia shook her arm. Gray grunted.
"What the hell Juvia?" Gray rolled out of bed. He walked towards the window. Juvia cleared her throat.
"Your clothes… Gray-sama…" Juvia mumbled, hoping he isn't flashing too many people.
"Shit!" Gray exclaimed, closing the curtains and searching for boxers. He pulled them on, his face bright red. Juvia giggled.
"What happened last night?" she wondered out loud.
"We got high with a bunch of strangers," Gray muttered, "We might as well be college Natsu"
Juvia giggled again at Gray's poke at Natsu. People called him Salamander for a reason. Gray put on the rest of his clothes as Juvia watched from the bed.
"Do you see Juvia's shoes down there?" Juvia asked.
"Nope,"
"Could you check the bathroom?"
"Sure," Gray walked to the bathroom. Juvia curled up under the covers, enjoying the cold spot where Gray previously rested. She could still smell his minty scent. She heard an odd noise in the bathroom.
"SHIT! Juvia call 911!" Gray screamed. Juvia rushed out of bed to the bathroom. Inside she saw Gray, frantic, running her hands through his hair. His body blocked the bathtub, and Juvia peered over his shoulder and screamed.
The redhead lay in the bathtub convulsing. Blood covered the tub's wall and her head, probably from the force of her falling and her skin breaking.
"What happened?" Juvia breathed out.
"I don't know… She must of O.D-ed or something-" Gray's voice cracked. He fumbled around her pockets as Juvia looked around the apartment. The nubs of joints littered the carpet, and the girl with the hoody's backpack still was the ground (Probably filled with whatever pills the redhead took). Juvia took the phone out of Gray's hand.
"We can't call 911 on one Gray-sama's phone," Juvia's hand was shaking.
"What the hell?! Why?!" Gray was shaking.
"Drugs are everywhere! Juvia and Gray-sama are the only ones in this room!" Juvia dropped down to her knees, sobbing on the floor, "Oh god… What are we doing?"
Gray looked at her, a look of utter terror on his face. He ran his finger's through his hair again and let out a deep calming breath.
"You're right… We can't be traced back to this," Gray looked down on the girl, still convulsing in the bathtub. He cringed. She must've lost a blood. Who knows how long she has been like this. "We can find a phone booth and call 911 from there,"
Juvia nodded and wiped her nose.
It took them twenty three minutes to find a working phone booth. Juvia spoke on the line, making her voice deeper and (and hopefully) unrecognizable.
After they called, they rushed back to the hotel, waiting in the lobby to see when the paramedics came. Juvia slumped on a chair, a magazine covering most of her face.
"Juvia thinks she hear sirens," she whispered.
"Took them long enough," Gray muttered. He wondered what the red head's condition was. The paramedics rushed in with a stretcher. After nine minutes, they returned in the lobby. The contents of the stretcher were covered by bag.
"Oh god…" Gray whispered.
"Is she…on the stretcher" Juvia whispered back, horrified. They leaned in, listening to the paramedic's mutters. Gray froze the moment he heard the word "Dead".
"No…" Juvia rushed out of the lobby. Gray watched her leave, her bare feet stood out against the dark carpet. He took long, deep breaths, trying to calm himself.
"She would've died anyway… It doesn't matter that we called so late… She was unsavable…" Gray whispered to himself over and over. Juvia re appeared in front of him.
"Juvia and Gray-sama killed her," Juvia covered her mouth to stifle a sob.
"No… She was a junkie. She would've died anyway…" Gray tried to convince himself more than her. Juvia shook her head at him.
"No, Juvia and Gray-sama didn't help her. Juvia and Gray-sama were the last people to see her alive…. and now-" Juvia whimpered. Gray jumped up.
"No we were not! We were never here, agreed? Gray grabbed Juvia's shoulders, and spoke again in a softer tone, "This is a big deal, we could get in real trouble. This might count as manslaughter or..." Gray stopped, lost in the thoughts of the crimes they possibly committed. He turned back to Juvia, "No one can know about this!"
Juvia wiped her eyes and looked at the stretcher. The redhead wasn't visible, and Juvia wondered again what her name was. She tried thinking back to last night. She must of mentioned it at some point…
"Juvia! Promise this never happened!" Gray was on the verge of tears. His black hair was matted with sweat, and his body was shaking. Juvia took his hand in hers.
"Juvia promises,"
