"Your words, not mine –'It would just be sex'." She says as she stares me down. "You don't know what you want!" She yells at me, tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. "You think you're the only person that's going to lose everything if this became anything more than what was agreed?" She asks and I sigh as I reach for her, but she turns out of my reach.

"You weren't down for forever and it's fine, I know, you know, we know, We weren't meant for each other and it's fine " JP Saxe – If the world was ending

"…Hello…" I frown as I look at the clock, the voice that greeted the phone now seemed like they just woke up.

"Lucy?" I ask into the phone and there is a moment of silence.

"Hey, hello?" she answers from the other side. "Natsu is that you?" she asks and it seems that I have just woken her up. It was the middle of the day and she was still sleeping, how the hell did that even work?

"Did I wake you?" I ask and I hear some scuffling in the back ground and then a small yawl escapes her throat.

"It's okay, what's up?" she asks and I feel like I am out of the loop, the last time I saw her was last week Friday, she wasn't at work all week and it was now Friday again and I was on my way home at 16:00, so many questions was running through my mind. Where was she, what kind of family emergency did she have, why was she sleeping now?

"I am supposed to ask you what's up? Haven't heard or seen you in like a week." I ask and at this another yawl escapes her throat. "Is everything okay?" I ask and I hear silence on the other side. "Are you okay?" I ask and I was actually worried about here. It's just not normal to not at least get one message from her every week. I sigh as the silence continue.

"Would you mind if I call you later?" she asks.

"Okay." I say and I wanted to press further for what was going on, why did she pull a disappearing act, but again I had to remind myself she was not my girlfriend and she was not my wife. I had no ground to even be concern unless it was in a capacity of a friend. I say against as I continue to listen to her.

"Talk to you later. Bye Natsu." She answers into the phone.

"Bye Lucy." And with that I end the call and I look at the screen, completely and utterly confused. Now there is one thing you should know. Laxus was private, Lucy was private yet she was an open book when it came to her life. I was an open book to her but private to the world. And it bothered me that I didn't know what was going on. Laxus wasn't talking so I didn't know what was going on his mind, not that I ever did. I place my phone in the door panel as I take a left.

I felt strange since last week because of how Lucy reacted when I touched her, and thereafter at my house when they mentioned her and Laxus being together. It irked me and I didn't understand why. I was feeling that I shouldn't and I could not understand why. I sigh again and look to the road. What was happening with me?

Things just felt like that they were turned upside down. My wife was strangely loving with me, Lucy was still in sight and in agreement with what we were doing and now Laxus wanted to officially make her his girlfriend. You can see why I seem to be frustrated. It was not like I didn't want my long-time friend, Laxus to be unhappy. I wanted him happy and in love but I didn't want him to be with Lucy. But who was I to deny him and her their happiness.
