September 7th
Natsu was mad and sad. And the rain that was starting to drizzle didn't help. He was waiting for Lucy to show up only to have her call saying that she couldn't make it and asked to reschedule the date. She said something about her father coming and how they had to go somewhere. He sighed. He guessed he shouldn't get so mad if she wanted to spend time with her father. He understood that feeling and knew it well.
Luckily since it did start raining, his original plans wouldn't have been ruined. He had gotten a picnic basket and filled it up with snacks and takeout from a Chinese place he found. It was a little pricey but he was willing to pay since it was a special occasion. He had to quickly get the food and eat the food before it would go bad and become a waste of food. And money. Money was going to be tight for him if He didn't do something about it soon.
The rain started to pour and Natsu quickly went to the spot where the basket of food was hidden. No animals or people had noticed it and all the food was still there. He was kind of glad Lucy wasn't here so he could eat her food too. He started drooling but realized he probably looked weird. He was drooling and was getting poured on. He was definitely weird.
Natsu hurried to a roof where he could take shelter. He had found a little roof that was hanging off the side of the building and he sat down there.
Natsu realized he would have to walk back home too. He also was starting to walk to school these days since he was running low on money. Natsu has super bad motion sickness and he buys these Troia pills to help him stay normal. But he ran out and now he had to walk about an hour and 30 minutes to school and walk back.
It sucked but Natsu decided that he would get a job somewhere to help with the situation he was in. He was lucky that he didn't have to pay his rent for another year being a high-school student.
Natsu dug into the food and it tasted amazing. It was fried rice with orange chicken. It was just glazing so much you can see its reflection.
He started scarfing the food down and he finished all the food in under 5 minutes. He probably had about 12 normal servings in under 5 minutes. That was pretty incredible.
Maybe he could do eating competitions for money. That seemed easy to him. What was also easy to help was to plan the date. He wanted to stroll around the park, then eat and then take her on a boat ride while looking at the stars. He had asked a certain short blunette about what she liked.
Though what he saw in a restaurant window in the next 2 minutes was something he would never like.

Lucy was mad. Scratch that. Lucy was infuriated. Not only did her son of a bitch father come home but he had made her cancel her date with Natsu Dragneel. His father was surprised that she had a date but he didn't care. He had other plans for his daughter. She was going to find a husband and get married to a rich family. Not only would it be beneficial to him but also for her.
He had a business meeting today with Mr. Regulus at a restaurant near Magnolia Park. Originally he wasn't going to take Lucy but when he heard that Mr. Regulus had a son who was around Lucy's age, he didn't mind bringing her and possibly starting a relationship between them.
The car ride there was quiet and when they got there, it had started raining. They were escorted in but then separated to do two different rooms. Lucy, having no idea what was going on, was confused. Why was she going to eat without her father? But little did she know that she was dining with a rich brown-haired boy himself. Loke.

Natsu watched in horror as Lucy and Loke were clearly on a date together and laughing together. Lucy was in a red body-tight dress where it showed off her big tits. Rage overtook him and his fists started clenching. So Lucy had lied to him about seeing her father just to go out with a boy with money? What a fucking bitch. Look at what she was wearing. She clearly was just playing with him. Maybe she knew that he was listening to her that day and decided to do this to him. Maybe she was a wicked witch who would just play with his feelings. Now Natsu didn't like Lucy like that but he definitely was attracted to her. Keyword. Was. All that was thrown out the window with what he saw. He wished he was a fire dragon and wanted to go on a rampage through the city, burning everything in sight.
But Natsu tried to calm down and told himself that maybe this was a misunderstanding. But it clearly wasn't as his eyes widened with what happened next. Loke had gotten up and kissed Lucy on the lips. He was straight up kissing Lucy. And then she noticed that Lucy was kissing back since she put her hand on his face. That was where Natsu couldn't take it anymore and ran back into the park, not caring if it was pouring. One thing was going through Natsu's mind. All girls are the same.

"Fuck" Loke bellowed.
He had just gotten slapped by an enraged blondie.
"How dare you fucking kiss me? How dare you touch me without consent?" The blondie was Lucy and she was cursing at him. He had kissed her without warning again but this time it crossed the line. He kissed her on the lips. It was her first kiss and it happened without her consent. She was mad that he took that away from him.
"Lucy I thought you wanted it too," loke said nervously. She slapped him again.
"No, I fucking didn't Loke. It was just a facade. I was just acting kinda nice because my dad will kill me if I don't. But I don't care if he kills, you fucking kissed without consent."
Loke was shocked and had no idea what to do. No girl has ever done this to him before. Lucy felt angry and guilty. How was she going to go on a date with Natsu if she had just gotten kissed by Loke? She just felt guilty. Fuck. She needed to clear her mind.
"Fuck you, Loke, never talk to me again."
Lucy left the restaurant and entered the park as the rain started going crazy.

Betrayal and hurt were all Natsu felt. He was upon a very tall big tree while the rain was flowing down. He didn't care. He just felt pain and betrayed. Why did Lucy have to play him like that? He should have put it together that she was dating that rich boy when he had kissed her on the cheek. He should have just realized it there. It made no sense why Lucy would do this to him. Why did she want to ask him out when she was dating him? Did she want to get with me and him at the same time? Maybe she did just want me for my looks. Natsu shuddered as he started to remember what happened the last time a female just wanted him for his looks.
He was trying to shake off the memory but the rain wasn't helping. Nothing was helping. He wasn't crying but the rain made it seem like he was. Flashes of him getting raped appeared in his eyes and made him feel even worse. He felt so down and really let down. Lucy was supposed to be different from the rest. But clearly she was just a regular slut and bitch that wants people for their looks and money. He felt so stupid and felt so weird. She really seemed so innocent and a nice person. Everyone in school had told him. But maybe she just told them not to tell anyone her true color and bribed them with something.
Natsu had no idea what to do and did not want to walk home. The rain was just getting worse and worse so that didn't help. He was getting poured on and was getting colder by the second. But he didn't feel a thing. He was just in shock that a woman would play him like that. After all the trouble he went through. Setting up everything. Finding the place to eat and even asking Levy for help. All for nothing.
Natsu didn't understand why people with money were so important. They were all humans. They all breathe the same air. Why are they more special than regular people? Why does money defy us as a person? He sighed. He couldn't believe that he let his guard down again and got hurt but this time only mentally. He couldn't believe that Lucy was really this person. She was just a big facade to him now. A stranger. Attractions to polar opposites. He wanted the opposite of her.
Natsu had no idea what to do. He was just broken and mad. He was mad at her for playing him that. He was mad at himself for not protecting himself. He was just mad. He knew that he had to separate himself from Lucy. That would mean not seating next to her ever again. Talking to her. Or even being near her.
He needed time and space to cool off. But he was going to explode very soon.
"Natsu?"
His eyes twitched and fists clenched. He knew that voice. Maybe if he didn't say anything. She would go away.
"Natsu I'm sorry!" Lucy said
Natsu didn't say anything. He didn't care. She was just lying and just wanted to play him again.
"I'm sorry for canceling short notice."
He didn't say anything again and Lucy got nervous. She knew it was Natsu from the white scale scarf and the pink hair. Why wasn't he responding?
"Natsu are you okay? Please say something" She had to yell since the rain started to pick up.
Natsu started laughing.
" I don't know Lucy." He said harshly.
"Am I okay? I really don't know. It's not every day someone lies to me, cancels a date just to kiss a rich boy at a fancy restaurant."
Lucy's eyes widened and was in shock that he saw that.
"Wait, I can explain…"
"Cut the bullshit, Lucy."
Natsu dropped down in front of her and he was covered in water. His face was so scary, Lucy couldn't find her words scared that Natsu would hurt her.
" I know you are fucking playing with me. I know you overheard me the other day and it worked perfectly with your plan. I fucking hate people like you. All they do is play with your fucking feelings. Stay away from me. Don't ever talk to me again. You're just as bad as the girl who raped me. Why because I bet your rich boyfriend doesn't even know about me or us. You lied that your father was coming into town because you most likely forgot that you had a date with your real boyfriend. Just stay away from me. You are the people I fucking hate." Natsu yelled, making sure she felt his pain.
He walked away, disappearing into the rain. Lucy fell to the ground. Sobbing away. She was too scared to say anything and she felt horrible. She had no idea he was raped. She realized that this was the reason why his guard was so high. He didn't want to get raped again. She had no idea how to explain this to him or even get back the relationship she had with him. It was a big misunderstanding. She never kissed Loke, he kissed her. She realized that it might have looked like that since Loke put his hand on her face. She wiped her tears as she found out a solution and hopefully she could win back Natsu's trust as this would be a tricky one. Otherwise, Mira would just use Natsu for her coping. She doubted she would date Natsu for a while because her late sister had liked Natsu . Finding her new confidence she got up and started hatching a plan to save Natsu from the clutches of Mira.
