I would first off like to thank everyone who reviewed, it always brings me happiness to read them. And second off I would like to apologise for leaving this so long, I never actually meant to. But now I have left school and about to enter my A levels (I am actually doing art so if you want to see it my Instagram is the same as my user name) . So before September I would like to progress a lot with this story. Sorry if my writing has changed, I tried to get it the way I previously wrote it… as always, have a good day~

Previously~

Get a hold of yourself Heartfillia, it's time to enter the battlefield.

(Lucy's p.o.v)

Before class could begin, I took it upon myself to relax. Breath. Straighten my posture and look ahead. Yes. This was the way to do it, to move forward. Because if I couldn't control my emotions, how would I ever learn in controlling my actions?

Yet that did nothing in controlling my eyes from wondering. And that was the first mistake.

Allowing my gaze to land on him, I swiftly looked at him thoroughly, and took in every detail I could. If you couldn't see the mistake here, it was by gazing I noticed that he wasn't affected. Affected by what he did to me. No bags pulling on his eyes. No change in skin, always sun kissed, flawless. No change in aura, filled with a childish happiness that screamed naivety and love. Of course he wasn't affected.

I wasn't the source of his happiness to begin with.

My heart felt hollow, empty, bare. I felt stripped of everything I had. This was the truth. It was a one sided love. And to move on, I had to let go. Yet, I didn't want to. The conflict was never ending. even outside the matter of love, he was my best friend. For god sake,I didn't want to leave him.

And in the back of my head I heard it.

Yet he's already left you.

"Right class…"

Getting pulled out of my daze, I shook my head. No, I wouldn't let this be the end of me, not at the bottom of an endless sea. Breath. Straighten my posture and look ahead. Yes. This was the way to do it, to move forward.

Allowing a sigh to finally escape me, I carefully packed my things away before leaving the class and entering the hall way, to see Lisanna and Levy in my sight.

Frantically waving I headed towards them.

"Levy! Lisanna! Over here!"

And sure enough they turned to me with welcoming smiles.

"Lu! I missed you so much" She exclaimed before launching herself upon me, causing me to stumble back in order to balance the two of us. Giggling I hugged her back, enjoying the feeling before I pulled away to hold her at arm's length.

"Levy, we were in the same lesson, how did you miss me?" Before I could help myself, my eyes rolled in amusement. This, of course, caused her to pout and look to the side. I could hear Lisanna snickering at the side, enjoying this as much as I was.

"But we never spoke to each other!"

There was a small silence which flowed, before we all once again burst into laughter.

"Ok, Ok, so I know I was over reacting. But in all seriousness, how are you?" By the end of the sentence Levy was fidgeting, hands pulling each other in signs of restriction, preventing her real emotions getting through.

The silence returned. But this time it wasn't the same. It was uncomfortable, stale and unusual to be held between us. Lisanna wouldn't look me in the eye, but Levy made up for her gaze. Holding one so fierce, I felt safe yet unsure.

"I'm… fine?" Dropping my gaze to the floor, I couldn't stand looking at them. Convincing much? I didn't actually have an answer. Do I tell them about getting revenge? Do I tell them that I can't stand being around him and that I don't think I could help Lisanna? Or do I tell them that no matter how much I try, I still can't get over him, that the love he set in me grew roots inside of me.

I was being selfish, that much I did know. I also knew I wasn't going to get over this any time soon.

Peering back up to Levy, she slowly nodded her head in acceptance. I noticed the glumness on her face. No that isn't what I wanted. She probably thinks that I'm pushing her away. So without another though I grabbed her and brought her back into a hug, clinging onto her.

And that's all she needed.

I'm not leaving you.

Looking over to Lisanna I also noticed she had a dark aura around her, screaming regret. And before she could hang there any longer, I grabbed her and pulled her in, to which she let out a quiet squeal in surprise.

Yes, I'm selfish, but I can get through this and help others on their way.

Still, happiness can only last a short while. Before I knew it I felt eyes burning into me. Gently turning, I saw them. The eyes which no longer recognised me for me. But for some obstacle. And it wanted nothing more than to get rid of me.

"I warned you, Heartfillia"

Furthermore, I would later learn that this would be the day that would scar my memories. Making me a different person.

The day I let go.
