Chapter 24: I want to fix things
Thank you for letting me listen to that" Sting stepped back and smirked at me " I'm going to have to find a way to repay you"
I blushed at Sting's words "What kind of repayment?" I ask Sting while trying not to show how embarrassed I was. Using my right hand I fiddled with my hair while looking to the side. "Next time Sting can you play with me?" I ask while grabbing onto his hands. Sting chuckled "I will, I already told you!" He ruffles my hair and laughs. "Too bad I didn't bring my clarinet for today" Sting puffs his cheeks and we both laugh. For some reason, when I was playing that song I remembered the times when Fairy Tail. It hurt me on the inside but at the same time, I felt happy. Recalling happy moments we shared with each other and sad times when I thought everything was all over.
I stop laughing and look down at the floor, "Hey Sting, how long has it been since I got in a fight with Fairy Tail?" I sigh. "I'm not sure…" Sting covered his eyes with his bangs. "It's been too long right?" I laugh with a slight melancholy tone in my voice. I put my arm up to my face and put on a fake smile "I know that Natsu and the others might hate me but still… I love Fairy Tail! They saved me!" I put the hand that had the Fairy Tail insignia on my chest. "I have to stop wallowing in my worries! I must face them now right?!" I felt like crying but I must keep these tears in for later. "I wouldn't how you would feel but there is one thing I know" Sting rested both of his hands on my shoulder "I'll be right here okay! Don't worry, I can help you if you want" I shake my head in disagreement "Thanks Sting, really, thank you for everything you have done but this time I have to try and settle this by myself. But if I cry, can you be there for me?" I ask while still forcing my fake smile. He gazed at me with a painful expression and just nods his head and in return I give him the smallest and faintest smile I have ever worn on my face.
"Tomorrow I will try and sort things out… It might not turn out well but I think I should give it a try right?" Still forcing a smile I turn away from Sting and exit the room. Sting scratches the back of his head and looks towards the floor "…I guess… Just one thing Lucy" I turn to look into his blue eyes, they looked angry "Be careful, I have a bad feeling something bad might happen" I nod slowly and in response he sighs lightly. Sting grins at me "See you tomorrow! I have to go home now" I was slightly confused because it was still early, maybe he had to go do something?
Sting heads towards the exit while I follow behind. As Sting exits my house he quickly whips his head around and kisses me on my right cheek "Wah-!" He just winks at me playfully and runs away while waving as usual. I hold my right cheek and blush lightly, smiling as I see him fade away from my line of sight. My smile fades slowly as I think about what will happen tomorrow. I go upstairs and close the door behind me. I lean on the door and cover my mouth trying to resist crying.
"I'm scared…" I whisper to myself. I breathe in and out trying to calm myself down. It worked after five minutes. I guess I should try and refresh my skills on the piano. I first brought the music box upstairs on my desk so that I could listen to it while I fall asleep. After that I took a bath so I can relax and become clean. I dress up in really comfortable clothes because I know that I wont be going out today. I put on a pink hoodie and black shorts.
After I dry my hair I head towards the piano room… again. (Insert your favourite music piece here) I played song over and over again to get my head ticking and working again regarding music.
After I play the piano for four hours I stretch my arms and hands upwards and let out a big sigh. I stand up and tie my hair up to "I guess if I'm not doing anything today except playing the piano then I might as well… Clean my house!" I say enthusiastically while holding a vacuum in my hand. I run backwards and forwards in my house continuing to clean all of the junk in my house.
When I finish I let my hair down and giggle "Finished!" I jump on my bed and roll around on my bed. I stop rolling around and hold up the picture I found while cleaning. "This was before the seven year gap…" I smile as I look at the picture of me, Natsu, Happy, Gray and Erza all together. I was laughing, Natsu was hugging me from behind, Gray was stripping and Erza was giggling slightly at all of us while Happy flew above us. "Now I really know that I want to fix things between us!" I fall asleep while hugging the photo.
Next morning
As I walk towards Fairy Tail, I'm thinking about what I should say when I enter Fairy Tail. I decided to stop over thinking it and just go all out and say what's in my mind. I open the door with all of my strength and lower my upper body towards the floor while squeezing my eyes shut.
"Whatever I have done I am sorry!"
