Heyo peoples, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Can I just say I'm so tired. Ugh anyways, I'm sorry again for not updating sooner I'm trying my best. anyways without any further a due here is Chapter 11 You can sing!?Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy tail or any of its characters, I also don't own any of the songs used in this story, all I own is the the story line!
Lucy POV.
I sang my heart out not relalizing that there was someone who was listening to me sing. The song I was singing was Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman.
Cinderella:
[Verse 1]
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day and there's still work to do
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited
and I need to practice my dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"
[Chorus]
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
[Verse 2]
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"
[Chorus]
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone
[Verse 3]
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, "Dad, the wedding's still six months away but I need to practice my dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"
[Chorus]
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
When I was done I turned around and face planted into a very musceler chest.
' Shit shit shit! Did he hear me sing!?' I backed up tot see who it is,and sure enough it was Natsu Dick head Dragneel.
'SHIT! HE'S EVEN WORSE THEN ANYONE ELSE! WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN LEVY!' I mentaly was having a panic attack but on the out side I look like a stone wall, no exsression, nothing in my eyes, no nothing. At least that's what I think I look like but who knows oh wait Natsu knows!
" Shit." I wispered under my breath.
" You can sing?" Was all that Natsu said.
" Um, no, I was lip singing." I said quickly.
He raised one eye brow at me and said, " I'm pretty sure Steven Curtis Chapman is a guy not a girl."
" Ugh fine, yes I can sing but I don't anymore." I sighed.
He just stared at me in dispaleave.
" What!? Why don't you sing anymore? Your amazing, you should c-" He stopped in the middle of his sentence and looked at me straight in the eye.
" Lucy why did you stop, when it's aviece that you love to sing?" I look down not wanting to meet his gaze.
" Look at me." He said in a gental tone not in a comanding tone.
I slowly look at him.
" It's ok you can tell me." He said
" How can I trust you, for all I know your going to go around telling everyone why I don't sing." I growled at him.
" I know I've been mean to you, but you can trust me and tell me whats wrong."He sighed.
At this point all the tears I've held in for a very long long time came flowing out. My legs buckled under me not being able to support me anymore, just like to little skinny twigs couldn't support a large rock.
As I went down I felt something pull me towards them, and there we sat on the ground, me in Natsu's lap crying into his shirt, and Natsu holding me letting me cry into his shirt.
" It's ok if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. I'll give you time for you to decide if you can trust me or not." Natsu said softly while stroking my hair.
When he said that, that just made me cry even harder.
" Shh, I'm here, it's ok. There's no need to be scared."
* Flash back 7 Years Ago*
" Mommy, I'm scared! Please don't leave me!" 5 year old lucy cried into her mother's arms.
" Shh, I'm here, it's ok. There's no need to be scared." Lucy's mother, Layla Heartfilia, spoke softly and gently to the young girl in her arms.
" It will be ok, I promise. Listen Lucy, Mommy will have to leave soon, so I want you to look after the house and daddy for me ok?" Layla said with tears in her eyes.
" No, Mommy you can't leave! You promised that we would always be a family, remember!? You can't leave!" Lucy cried even harder.
" Yes I remember, but we will stay a family even after I leave." She said.
" When will you be back?" Lucy said looking up at her sick mother.
" I'm afraid I won't be back song bird." She said sadly. Lucy was about to start another round of heavy crying, until Layla said, " You need to promise me that you will look after Daddy for me ok?"
" Ok Mommy." Lucy replied.
Layla smiled sweetly down at the young girl.
" You know what would make me happy?" Layla said to her preseouis daughter.
" What?" Lucy asked.
" For you to sing me Kiss it all better by He is we, remember?" Layla said knowing that it was almost time for her to go.
Lucy's face lit up and said " OK mommy if it will make you feel better!"
" Oh it will make me better."
Kiss It Better"
He sits in his cell,
And he lays on his bed.
Covers his head and closes his eyes.
He sees a smoking gun,
And the coward he ran.
And in his arms is the bleeding
Love of his life.
And she cried,
"Kiss it all better,
I'm not ready to go.
It's not your fault, love,
You didn't know, you didn't know."
Her hands are so cold,
And he kisses her face
And says, "Everything will be all right."
He noticed the gun,
And his rage grew inside.
He said, "I'll avenge my lover tonight".
And she cried,
"Kiss it all better,
I'm not ready to go.
It's not your fault love,
You didn't know, you didn't know."
Now he sits behind prison bars,
25 to life and she's not in his arms.
He couldn't bring her back with a bullet to the heart
In the back of a man who tore his world apart.
He holds on to her memory,
All it is, is a memory.
Hey, hey.
He cries,
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Kiss it all better,
I'm not ready to go.
It's not your fault love,
You didn't know, you didn't know.
(Kiss it all better.)
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until i fall asleep,
Stay with me.
(Kiss it all better.)
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
Stay with me until I fall asleep,
Stay with me.
When Lucy finished she looked at her mothers sleeping figure. She was barely breathing, Lucy started to tear up again and croweled into bed with her dying mother to sleep with her one more time.
When she woke up, it wasn't to a warm embrace of her mother but a cold one, a very cold one.
" Goodbye mommy, I'll see you again. And I promise that I will be your strong little girl and watch over daddy for you." That was the last time she saw her mother when he came.
*Flash Back ended*
Lucy POV.
I look up at Natsu in shock, " What did you just say?"
" Shh it's going to be ok? Why" Natsu looked down at me starting to get worried.
" Oh sorry I thought you said something else." I sighed.
" Hey, I think you should take the rest of the day off." Natsu said still holding me in his lap, but known of us cared really.
" Natsu, about why I don't sing anymore," I started but didn't finish because Natsu interupted me.
" No, you don't have to tell me." He said shaking his head.
" No, it's ok I want to tell you." I sighed and then said " It was 7 years ago, will be 8 in 4 weeks, my mother was very sick. It was on my birthday when I went to her to say goodnight, long story short her last dying breathes where with me singing to her." I said.
" And that's why you don't sing anymore." Natsu said.
I nodded " Well part of the reason, the other reason is that my mother was amazing at singing as well, she was the one who tought me. My father said it was my fault because I sang to her. also I sound so much like her when I sing he just couldn't take it. After my mother's death he started drinking and after 2 years he start hitting me, just small little stuff like slapping me, but it kept getting worse and worse, till I packed all my stuff that I needed, like money, clothes, and my phone and moved away. That's how I gt here." I said not looking at him once, I was just staring at the wall. Until I felt something fall onto my face. My eyes went wide as I looked at Natsu, he was crying!
" Natsu, oh my god, I didn't mean to make you cry I'm sorry!" I started to panic when I didn't know what to do.
Natsu pulled me into a tight hug, while still crying.
" W-What N-Natsu wha-" I was cut off by him saying
" Please let's just sit here in silences ok?" Natsu said, I could tell he was trying really hard not to shake but I can tell that he's losing.
" Ok." I said laying my head on his chest, listening to his steady heart beat.
' Hmm, are hearts are in synic.' I thought to myself finding myself getting sleepy.
Just then I felt my heart speed up which was weird,
' What's wrong with me? No way, could I like Natsu? Nope impossoble I don't like him.' I thought to myself.
I felt Natsu's breathing become steadier and slower, but his grip never loosened. I look up at him to ask him to let go, when I stop when I saw that he was asleep with tears still on his face.
I wipe them off and smiled up at him and thought, ' You really did stay up all night last night didn't you? Well for now sleep, you pink headed dragon.' and with that I layed my head down on his chest and fell asleep.
