DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL :P

~~~εиנσy~

"Come on Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed.

They were in grass field. It was the start of spring an the flowers were in full bloom. They were currently playing tag. Natsu ran away and waited for Lucy as he couldn't see her anymore. When she was finally in sight he ran faster.

"Natsu!" she exclaimed trying to catch her breath.

They felt like little kids running in a playground. They smiled and laughed as they ran. It was weird though, they were happy, for the first time in forever.

"Am I too fast?" he teased

"Don't get cocky pink-head!"

She ran across the field chasing Natsu like cats and mice.

She sprinted as she saw Natsu stop trying to look for her.

"Got ya!" she screamed as she got to him.

When she reached him she fell right on top of him. She screamed out of shock.

They both laughed as they stared at each.

He gazed into the blonde's chocolate brown eyes. He pushed away gently a piece of hair that was on her face. He laughed seeing pure perfection.

He kissed her.

Their lips lingered on top of each other for a while.

They slipped a little tongue as they started to sit up.

They pulled away as their bottoms touched the ground.

"I love you, Lucy"

"I love you too, Natsu"

They smiled at each other for a while then they finally stood up.

They walked away as they held hands.

"So, where exactly are we going?" Lucy asked.

"Where ever the wind takes us I guess"he said.

They laughed again as they walked out of the field.

~~~εиנσy~

I woke up noticing Virgo at my feet.

"Princess, you're finally awake, would you like some breakfast?" she asked.

"How long have you been here?" I asked.

"Just a few minutes, princess"

I sat up and grabbed my phone to check the time.

"Uh, yeah sure, I'd like some breakfast" I said.

"Princess are you okay?" she asked

"I'm fine, why?"

"Nothing you just seemed awfully fidgety while you were asleep."

"I was dreaming, sorry if I made you worry"

"Dreaming, princess?"

"Uh, yeah"

"Oh that's why you were smiling" Virgo said and left.

I was smiling? I thought to myself touching

My phone vibrated which shocked me enough to drop my phone but thankfully it landed safely on my bed. I sighed as I picked it up again.

"Lucy I'm sorry, I just wish you gave me the chance to explain everything to you"

I flinched as I read the text.

It was from Natsu, how could I not see this coming? I thought twice if I was going to reply, but I ended up going through my contacts list and changing his name to the red 'x' emoji, just a reminder that I should never reply to him.

The dream wasn't new to me though. I've been having dreams about Natsu and I for the last few months, which made it harder to get over him. My mom was right; I do need to take care of myself. I mean he left me like a mess. I have to forget him.

It was currently spring break so I didn't have to face Natsu five days a week.

But it was already the end of spring break and tomorrow was the first day back to school. I hate school and on top of that I'm forced to see

Natsu every day.

I promised myself that I'd be over him by now but I'm still having

dreams about him and I being together...happy.

But I guess it's just a dream, more accurately a nightmare.

Maybe I should rethink about Switzerland...

~~~εиנσy~

I sighed staring blankly at the fridge in the convenience store.

"What do I get?" I mumbled.

My eyes searched and lingered on strawberry milk.

"You should get the strawberry milk" a familiar voice.

I blushed as I turned to the direction of the voice.

"Natsu...?" I said under my breath.

"I mean that's what you got that last time we went here" he continued.

"Oh..."

The memories rushed backed to me and overwhelmed me completely.

I held back the tears and hurridly grabbed the milk and rushed to the counter.

"L-Lucy!" he said.

I paid quickly then proceeded to go out.

"Lucy wait!" Natsu said.

I saw him run after me and yet again took a hold of my wrist.

"Please Lucy, just listen to me! Listen to me and I'll stop bugging you!

Listen to me now and you'll never have to hear from me again, I swear on my mother's life! Just please give me the chance!" he said, desperately trying to cling on.

I sighed, looking at Natsu. I swallowed my pride and finally spoke "F-

Fine" I said as my sweat dropped.

~~~εиנσy~

We sat down in the park at one of the benches near the lake.

I could sense him staring at me, but all I did was ignore him and continue to sip my milk.

"You got the strawberry milk, huh?" he finally broke the silence.

"Yeah, I mean it's my favorite" I said.

It was awkward again.

The silence grew for a few minutes, but I guess I'm used to that by now. It's always like this between us. We never actually talked anyway. But this time was different. It was weird. We weren't used to it. It's like we're completely different people. Like we were strangers trying to ease into a new friendship.

"So I won't be able to face you when saying this, so I'm gonna turn away from you"

I nodded and he turned away looking at the opposite direction.

"So um, It started about six months ago. Gray and I had a bet that I could actually make you fall in love with me. So I agreed and about two weeks after that I found your phone number and then I texted you. I guess you know the rest of the story"

Hearing Natsu's voice again and explaining everything hurt like knives. You could literally stab me multiple times and it would hurt less. Everything was a lie. All of this was just a plot to mess with my feelings. It was sheer cruelty. I always thought no one knew about me, but I guess everyone was just playing along, trying to trick Lucy Heartfilia, the girl in the shadows.

"Anyway, during the relationship I started developing feelings for you. Until finally, I fell. I fell so hard, Lucy. Too hard that I couldn't live with myself knowing that our relationship was built on lies, so I decided I was gonna end it, for you to not get hurt"

He was gonna break up with me?

"What?" I turned to him in shock "Why would you do that?" I nearly screamed.

"I didn't want to carry on with a relationship that was built by lies"

I stood up completely infuriated.

"So what? You were just gonna leave and say nothing?"

"I didn't want to hurt you" he tried to pull her back to the bench but I pushed him away "Leaving without saying why is just as bad as lying to me!" I said try to walk away but he took grip of my wrist. "Lucy I'm sorry! Let's forget about all this and start over!" he tried to pull me again.

"Stop!" I said and he loosened his grip.

"Don't you see?! I can't forget all this? It's messed me up! Every other day I wake up and your still in my head! It hurts, Natsu!" I exclaimed trying to run away so Natsu stood up and grabbed my arm.

"Then forgive me! Maybe then you'll forget about it!"

Tears built up in my eyes but I held them in "I can't okay!? I don't know how! Every time I see you I'm reminded of all of this! Being next to you, it's too stressful!" I let the tears run as I said the last word of the sentence.

"I can't do this anymore" I wiped my tears but they still kept running.

"Goodbye Natsu" I said.

I ran away from him yet again. I couldn't even catch my breath. All of this was too confusing. I tried stopping my tears but they just kept flowing like a river. I did this before, only now the difference was it wasn't raining. It was a bright sunny day. I guess the universe was celebrating.

I ran back to my house, stumbling trying to get up the stairs and into my room. I cried again, but silently this time.

I couldn't take it anymore. I just can't...

I grabbed my phone and dialed Lisanna's number.

"Hey Lucy!" Lisanna beamed and I bit my lip.

"L-Lisanna?" I said, slightly breaking down.

"What's wrong Lucy?" she spoke in a more concerned manner "Why are you crying?" she continued.

"I-It's Natsu" I spoke
