Say it! Tell him everything, let your heart speak, don't waste another heartbeat! You will loose him forever! A voice kept yelling in her head.
"Just stay away from me." Lucy finally said while desperately swallowing her true feelings.
There was a moment of silence until Natsu walked away. That was it. The ultimate breaking point of Lucy Heartfilia's heart and soul. She fell on her knees and started screaming as loud as she could as the unbearable agony took over her completely. Natsu could hear her screams which caused him to start crying too.
Two days had passed since then. Lucy spent the night in that meadow and had returned to her apartment the next morning and now she was sitting in one corner of her bedroom, curled up in a ball.
One afternoon there was a knock on her door. The stellar mage dragged herself towards it. It was Lisanna.
"What do you want?" Lucy asked
"YOU BITCH!" The white haired girl screamed as she slapped her
The fragile blonde crashed on the ground, not even trying to soften the fall. Lucy had grown so weak it didn't take much effort to put her down.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Lisanna hissed "Playing the broken wimp juts so you can make Natsu pity you?! Well I have news for you, he is mine and mine to be! You have lost your chance so stop trying! You're just making him feel guilty and that bothers ME!"
Lucy lied there without moving, shadow covering her eyes. That pissed Lisanna and she grabbed her right wrist (The one Natsu had injured) and pulled her up, causing Lucy to whimper in pain.
"Give up on Natsu. You have no chance!"
The stellar mage laughed weakly "Does that make you feel good?"
"Huh?"
"I asked if hurting me like that makes you feel good. Honestly, what have I ever done to you? It's not like he cares about me anyway." Lucy laughed again "I'm a nobody now. You have taken my life long ago. Weird, isn't it? I actually thought we could be friends, good friends in the matter of fact."
Lucy's gaze, who was hidden by now finally revealed. For the first time since a long time her eyes showed emotion, a lot of emotions.
"I never meant to get in between you and Natsu. That's why I tried to keep my distance, but how can I help it when I feel this way? You are happy with him, but I'm not. Do you know how agonizing it is to see the man you love with another girl?" Lucy was calm and felt kind of relieved to be able to tell someone, anyone how she felt.
Lost in thoughts, Lucy got startled by Lisanna's voice "Well do you know how agonizing is to know that your boyfriend is in love with another girl?" The blonde's eyes widened as Lisanna fell on her knees, next to her.
"Lucy he is crazily in love with you!" The transformation mage said trough tears.
Her grip on Lucy's wrist disappeared. The stellar girl smiled softly as she caught Lisanna's hand.
"Please don't cry. Don't scar your pretty face like I did."
Lisanna sobbed "How can you be so nice to me after the way I treated you?"
"Because I know how it feels. Even tough the things you said really did hurt me I understand why you did it. It's even more painful in your case… Come now, let's get in, it's not really polite to leave my guest outside."
Lisanna didn't respond, she just threw herself in Lucy's arms, crying her heart out.
A few minutes passed and the girls were already sitting around the table in the kitchen.
"Sorry, but all I have is tea and some old cookies." Lucy apologized awkwardly as she placed a cup of hot strawberry tea in front of Lisanna.
"N-No problem, I don't mind." The whitehead was obviously disturbed.
Lucy sighted as she sat on the opposite side of the table "Look Lisanna, I'm not mad at you because I know how it feels. I don't hate you either, if that's what you think."
"I still don't get it. You really are an amazing person Lucy, just like Natsu said." Lisanna smiled "To tell the truth, our relationship was doomed from the beginning. Yes, at the start I did love him, but this lasted too long. It's a little embracing, but I only liked the feeling of being Natsu's girlfriend. We even stopped kissing a few mounts ago."
"What?!" Lucy was truly shocked "Then why did you react like that, I mean…"
Lisanna laughed slightly "I guess I'm jealous of you. For making Natsu feel like I couldn't. And also for being so strong and kind. You are the best girl Natsu could have. Please get together!"
The two girls sat in comfortable silence for a while, but then Lisanna broke it
"Hey Lucy?"
"Hmm?"
"The thing you said earlier, about you hoping us to be friends, did you really mean it?" She asked hopefully.
Lucy turned her gaze towards the window and smiled brighter than she has ever smiled and then spoke so confident, leaving no doubt in Lisanna's mind "Yeah, and I still mean it. I would love to be friends with such a great and honest person like you, Lisanna."
Blue eyes watering in joy. "Thank you Lucy!"
"Hey, Li-chan," Lucy smiled at her "Do you want to go for a walk?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah."
The two girls left the apartment. As they walked trough a park they spotted a certain pink haired boy, sitting on a bench. Lucy smiled and walked over to him, followed by Lisanna.
"Hi there Natsu!" Lucy cheered
"Look Lucy, I… Huh, Lisanna? What are you both doing here?"
"We were out for a walk." Lisanna smiled.
"What?! Together?!"
"Yeah and why are you here all by yourself?" Lucy tilted her head
"I'll se you later guys." Lisanna left, sending Lucy an encouraging smile
The blonde sat next to Natsu, whose head was bent down.
"Look Lucy, I'm sorry. I should have realized my feelings for you earlier instead of toying with both your and Lisanna's hearts. You probably hate me." He gritted his teeth in order to stop himself from crying.
Lucy smiled I never thought you could me so mature and immature at the same time. She thought. The blonde leaned and placed a sweet kiss on Natsu's cheek and then rested her head on his shoulder.
"You're such a kid Natsu. Why does it always have to be the hard way? Just say that you love me."
His eyes widened. "What?"
"Just tell me what I want to hear so I can tell you the same thing."
Suddenly Natsu cupped Lucy's face placed his lips over hers. The kiss wasn't something passionate or special, but it still was Lucy's first so it made her blush. The feeling of his warm- no hot- lips made her melt. After a few short seconds Natsu pulled away.
"I love you, Luce."
Meanwhile at the guild…
"Oh, hi Lisanna!" Mirajane greeted "What's up, you seem quite happy?"
Lisanna smiled "Natsu and Lucy are finally a couple."
