"Don't show up, don't come out, Don't start caring about me now, walk away, you know how, Don't start caring about me now" Dua Lipa – Don't start now
She was sitting outside, she had her phone to her ear as she spoke in a low voice, every once in a while she would look around and then she would focus again and continue talking. I watch her as I bring my smoke to my lips and in inhale. I narrow my eyes as I continue to look at her. I take a step closer and then another as I can soon hear her voice even if it is low.
"I guess everything is fine…" she says and then she holds and listens to the person on the other side of the phone. "Yeah, but I had to go. I just knew I had to when they called me." I listen to her as I take another step closer, hiding behind a tree so she can't see me. "I wish I had more time there but sadly not. I would love to vacation there sometime." I hear and then I frown as I inhale again. What was she even talking about. I take a step to the right and then I watch as she looks to the ground, her hair covering her face as she takes a deep breath.
She slowly looks back up and as she look up again and then she casually looks from one side to another and that is when she notices me standing a few steps away from her. She gives me a soft smile then she motions to me to take a seat across from her.
I move slow as I take a few more steps and then I take a seat across from her, I reach for my cigarettes and pop one in my mouth and light it. "They said they would call me, but I asked them to rather contact his parents instead." She continues to talk and I frown as I listen to this one sided message. "But we can talk about this when I see you this weekend." She says as she smiles. "Talk later. Bye." She says as she ends the call and as soon as the call is ended she sighs and she places the phone on the table.
"What was that all about?" I ask and she looks up, her eyes meeting mine.
"Just my friend needing an update." She says as she reaches out her arms and she stretches and that makes her shirt tighten over her breasts and I need to gulp at that view.
"So what happened? Or are you going to leave me in the dark too?" I ask as I take a drag from my cigarette and place my packet of cigarettes on the table with my cell phone and car keys. She looks from side to side and then sighs like she just didn't want to repeat herself again.
"Maybe…" she says and then her eyes meet mine. She seemed nervous and on edge and like she was hiding. She sighs again and then shakes her head slightly from side to side. "So there was an incident, and I am still listed at Chaise's next of kin. They called me and asked me to come and because it was so serious and they couldn't get a hold of his parents, I went." Her eyes meet mine for a second and there is a sadness in them but she had a smile on her lips.
"Did he get hurt or what?" I ask not really understanding what was going on and why she would do this.
"I can't say much other then what was showed on the news but yeah he ended up in ICU. They called me to come." She replies placing her hands on her lap.
I lock my eyes with hers. "And you just went?" I ask a bit agitated. The sudden burst of jealousy that went through me caught me off guard. I was agitated that she would just up and leave for an ex-boyfriend who treated her like shit. I was getting angry.
"Yes. But I only stayed until he got out of ICU. And we didn't speak or anything, I mainly visited him when he was sleeping. I contacted his parents as well so now they know too. That's when I left." Lucy states and the more she talks the more I get agitated. Because he treated her like shit and she still ended up going to him in his time of need.
"Why would you even do that Lucy? After everything he put you through?" I ask and then my eyes meets her eyes again. Her eyes bored into mine as she stared at me.
"Why are you getting angry?" Lucy asks and she tilts her head to the side. She was asking why I'm getting angry… he is her ex, he royally fucked her up and broke her, he doesn't deserve her to even worry or care about him. Those words popped up in my mind, but when I wanted to say it I couldn't because I was nothing of her to act the way I was in my mind.
"How do you think Laxus would feel knowing this?" I ask and at the Lucy sits back and sighs again.
"He isn't going to find out." She says before looking up to me, her eyes finding mine. "Or should I worry about you telling him?... so much for venting to a friend." The last part she said under her breath but I heard it. And it hit hard.
"No. It's not my place." I say and at this Lucy giggles, it's humourless and almost sad. "Even thou I feel jealous and angry about this I can't help but feel admirable towards you, your always there trying to help and assist." I say and at this she smiles and looks to me.
"You know I'd do the same for you." Lucy replies as she reaches over and lightly strokes my hand, when her skin touches mine I almost melt. She was soft and smooth. "I think I'd do more for you." That was low but I heard it. I smile at this and look down.
"So you had no problem paying for the flight and accommodation just to go check on him?" I ask more questions popping into mind as I run the scenario.
"No, I didn't pay, they flew me out since I was listed as his fiancé." This made my blood boil as I stare at her in complete surprise. "And I wasn't there long. I was in the hospital room once when he was awake and aware. But I explained to his Sergeant everything and they all were still under the impression we were still together. But it is sorted out now." I stare at her and her face seems characterless. Something wasn't right about this or her.
"What did you tell Laxus and the work for your absence?" I ask and she looks to the side taking in a deep breath.
"Just a family problem." She says and then she places her hands on either side of her and she pushes off of the stool. She looks from side to side and then she looks to me a soft smile on her lips. "Let me head inside." At this I rise as well and I reach my arms to her in an effort to hug her which she gracefully accepted and she stood in my embrace longer then she should have but it was what she needed.
