Two years passed by faster than they expected, Gray and Juvia were living together on her house and Erza was dating Jellal. Gajeel and Levy have plans for when she graduates. Natsu and Lucy's relationship was complicated, they have been arguing a lot for the last two months.

It was graduation night for Natsu, Gray, Cana and Erza and all of them were at the ball together. Juvia couldn't stop talking about her life with Gray and Lucy was kind of jealous, she wanted to live with Natsu too. Even though they always slept in each other's dorm, Natsu didn't showed any signs that he wanted to actually live with her and that was one of the reasons they argued about these months. Lucy got up from the table and Natsu followed her outside the hall. He wrapped his left arm around Lucy's waist and pulled her closer, kissing her neck.

"I'm not in the mood Natsu." he continued and she tried to stop him. "Stop it, I'm serious!"

"But I want you."

"You want me? For what exactly Natsu, huh? For sex?" he stopped and fixed his eyes on hers.

"Don't be fucking stupid Lucy, I wouldn't stay with you for two years just for sex."

"Wouldn't? Then what do you want Natsu? Cause our friends are moving forward, living together, getting married and we're stuck in square one." he tscked.

"Can you stop fighting about that? There's nothing wrong with us."

"Then why are you running away from me? The idea of living with me is so bad that you don't even want to think about it?! I'm not good enough for you?" Lucy started to cry.

"I thought you didn't want a prince."

"All I ever wanted was to have a life, a family with you!" he held her wrists tight as she tried to push him.

"Then stop complaining and stay with me! Why can't we stay as we are? You're making everything harder!"

"Me?! I'm tired of your "I'm scared" excuses! Be a man, Natsu!" both were yelling at each other.

"You should have married Sting, I bet he's a real man!" she looked into his eyes and Natsu knew he shouldn't have said that. Lucy's lips parted but she didn't said anything, just cried more. His arms tightened around her wrists as she struggled.

"Let go of me! Now!"

"No."

"You're fucking hurting me, stop it!" he dropped her hands and she gave one step back. She looked to her wrists marked by his force, then to him as if he was a monster.

"Luce I'm sorry, I swear.." She interrupted him with a slap in the face.

"You're a coward. Don't fucking touch me never again." He watched as she turned around and left the ball. His eyes filled with tears. What the fuck have I done?

Lucy took her shoes and ran to her dorm crying like a baby. I can't believe this happened. She opened the door and threw herself at the floor and screamed her pain away. I'm not the wrong in this story, it's his fault. "You should've married Sting" his words ran through her mind a hundred times and it seemed impossible stop crying. She walked to the bathroom and filled the tub. Why? They fought other times but never like that. She looked as the dress he helped her choose fell on the ground and entered in the tub. You're so blind, stupid girl.. He's never gonna change. Lucy was blaming herself for once think he would change and they would marry, have a child, grow old together. She let out a sigh and looked to her wrists still with red marks and cried more. I don't want to stay here anymore.

Three weeks passed, Lucy returned home and told everything to her family. As for Natsu, he barely left his dorm after that. He's supposed to start his training in the army in one month. Natsu woke up with Gray screaming.

"You fucking idiot, what have you done? Huh?" Gray lifted Natsu by the shirt and pushed him against the wall. Natsu was quiet, looking down. "Lucy told me everything. How could you?! You have shit inside your head instead of a brain? You're losing the woman you love and for what? For acting like a fucking kid? Answer me Natsu!" Gray punched the wall beside his best friend's head. Natsu looked to him crying. "I'm not here to feel sorry for you, I'm here to warn you. Lucy will marry Sting today."

What? L-Lucy.. will.. Marry.. Sting? I lost the love of my life?

"So if you love her and we all know you do, you better run before it's too late." Gray released the man, who left the dorm running. No. I'm not gonna let this happen, she's mine, only mine.

Lucy agreed to marry Sting for the sake of her father's business. He wasn't so bad, he's always trying to make her smile, tell her about his castle, his plans for life. Am I really going to do this? She couldn't look into her reflection in the mirror as the maids were placing the white veil over her blonde hair. Michelle was at her side and realized her older sister wasn't happy, not at all.

"Onee-chan.." she held Lucy's hand.

"I'm ok." Lucy gave her a fake smile. Lie. I'm not okay. She got up to finish the last details of the dress, her mind was spinning around, her heart was heavy, in pain. "I love you." she fought against the tears as she remembered him whispering those words. I still love you. I still love you, Lucy. I'm not gonna let you go never again. I'm coming, I promise you we'll be together" Natsu kept saying this to himsellf.

Lucy entered alone at the church full of people waiting for this big wedding, Sting was waiting for her in the altar, with a white suit. I want to run away so why do I keep walking forward? Where are you? Why aren't you coming to stop me? Natsu ran faster than he could and he was almost in the church when he stumbled, falling on his knees. Get up, you can't stop now. The priest started to talk, Lucy's legs started shacking as Sting held her left hand.

"Lucy Heartfilia, do you accept Sting Eucliffe as your husband?" Natsu, save me.

"I.." Her quote was interrupted by the sound of the giant frontdoor opening. Natsu?

A/N: you didn't see this coming huh?! Hahahah so, I wanted to do something different and unexpected and I came up with this idea, hope you like this chapter ;)
