Chapter 14-

Lucy woke slowly, her eyes peeling open. Everything appeared blurry until her eyes finally adjusted to the light and focused on her surroundings. She glanced to her left, Sting was sitting beside her, she glanced to her right, Natsu was sitting beside her also. Lucy rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"Why are you both in my apartment?" Lucy screeched,

"We're not in your apartment. Idiot." Sting rolled his eyes mentally face palming,

"Huh?" Lucy looked around to discover she was in the infirmary,

"What am I doing here!?" Lucy asked,

"You were having seizures and stuff and then you turned evil and were trying to kill us all!" Natsu added smiling like it was a good thing.

"Don't say that like it's a good thing!" yelled Lucy, Lucy kicking Natsu off his chair…

"Is it just me or is she more violent recently?" Natsu questioned,

"Do you even remember anything that happened yesterday?" asked Sting who seemed annoyed by Lucy's presence as he did 85% of the time.

"I remember hearing a church bell when I woke up and then going back to sleep…?" said Lucy in confusion.

"That's helpful." Replied Sting,

"Why do always have to act like you hate me!" Lucy yelled at Sting hot headedly.

Sting stood up and left the room silently.

"Don't just walk away saying nothing!" Lucy yelled after him.

Sting kept walking as though he'd never heard her.

"Luce. He's been by your side ever since two days ago. Give him a break." Said Natsu as he got up to leave.

Lisanna walked in as Natsu started to walk out.

Did Natsu seriously just say that? Thought Lucy…

Sting walked out of the infirmary to find Rogue standing behind the door,

"At this rate. You'll lose her." commented Rogue.

Why can't she just understand I love her… It's Yukino all over again! Thought Sting.

"Maybe you should tell her that instead of making the same mistake twice then." Rogue said to Sting,

Sting kept walking and entered the guild hall, he sat down at the bar beside Cana and ordered a drink. Natsu entered the guild hall moments later, he walked over to the request board and stared at the jobs a while.

Meanwhile, Lisanna approached Lucy at her bed.

"Natsu's been here ever since you got sick to, you know that?" said Lisanna,

"I get it now," said Lucy, looking down with sadness, "They've been looking out for me for so long, and then I woke up and yelled at them…"

Lisanna sat down on the chair Natsu had been sitting at.

"Natsu misses you Lucy." began Lisanna, "He misses his partner, he misses who you used to be and the friendship that you had together."

Lucy began to cry. It was as though she'd forgotten how much the people in Fairy Tail cared about her. Lucy brushed away the tears and looked up at Lisanna. Lucy pulled Lisanna close into a hug. Lucy couldn't help the tears that spilled from her saddened eyes. Lisanna hugged Lucy back and let her cry on her shoulder. I was so wrapped up in becoming strong that I forgot why I was becoming strong. I forgot that I was doing all this to protect everyone else, so that Fairy Tail wouldn't have to keep rescuing me. Because for once I wanted to save them, I love Fairy Tail! I shouldn't have forgotten it! How could I!

Lisanna broke the hug, "Lucy, do you remember what happened yesterday?"

"Sorry, no." answered Lucy, "Do you know?" she asked Lisanna,

Lisanna explained to Lucy what happened. Lucy carried a sad expression as Lisanna continued to recount the events of the previous day….

"Thank you Lisanna," said Lucy,

"Why are thanking me?" asked Lisanna,

"Because you made me see sense again," Lucy smiled sweetly.

Lucy rose from the bed, but then fell back down again as sharp pains stabbed through her body. Lisanna helped her back onto the bed again and sat back down on the chair beside Lucy.

"Thank you again,"

"You're welcome!"

"Lisanna?"

"Mmm?"

"Would you mind calling everyone that was in here yesterday in for a minute please?"

"Of course not, I'll just get them."

Lisanna left the room and returned minutes later with everyone from the day before standing before Lucy.

"I want to apologise, everyone. For not being myself, being violent, and trying to hurt everyone. And I am sorry Natsu, for actually hurting you." Said Lucy, hoping for forgiveness,

Nobody spoke, but everyone crowded around Lucy and hugged her. Lucy smiled. I love Fairy Tail and everyone in it!
