Lucy POV

I closed the door behind me, as quiet as a mouse. How could he be here? I was afraid of just catching a glimpse of him but, this being his house… It's better than it being his old one where I found out about him and his "little" secret. But, still this is where he probably brought all his other meaningless "girlfriends" or conquests he used to call where he would whisk them away on romantic dates and then convince them to give him their innocence. I scoffed that's basically all he did for them giving them a good first time.

I heard sobs echo around the room, someone was crying? I touched my cheeks, they were wet with… "tears?" I whispered with surprising difficulty. I was the one sobbing, as I realized it, that I was the one crying, I was the one sobbing! I laughed, I laughed through my sobs and they were what made me crack. I started out laughing, REALLY laughing and the sobs were still there just with the laughter that bubbled up inside of me. My legs finally gave way and I slid to the ground, my head tilted up, back against the door, and that strangled sobbing filled with laughter. The emotions I had kept in when I arrived and when I finally saw him they burst out, I had finally cracked… Are you happy now "Gray..?" The sound hanging in the air, his name now echoing throughout my mind.

Gray POV

I had seen her, I knew it was her goddammit why else would she run? It's really her, after all these years she hasn't changed and unfortunately neither have my feelings. I thought I could finally get over her and then she comes here and tears up my resolve of even just getting over her. Never mind the prospect of even trying to forget her, I thought I could try to try getting over her. "Dammit." I muttered the pain I knew I felt seeping into my voice. You could hear it in every single syllable, I needed to get away from that house even with that shakiness in her voice, it still sounded as beautiful as it had always been. That voice haunted me and I needed some alcohol to get her off my mind.

I hadn't been paying much attention and before I knew it I was at that bar near Fairy Tail Park, the first place she had let me kiss her the soft pink lips that I never really had a right to kiss. I put my head in my hands and shook it off "No more reminiscing" I muttered to myself. I knew Loke and Natsu were probably already there, at least I won't suffer alone or be alone with Natsu. I walked them and gave the guard my card, this bar was only for upper class, on the rich side of middle class, or if you're family was important with some influence in the hard to get places for fairly new companies. Or basically anyone who was a prostitute or rich. I sat down at the bar of course Loke was bar tending and Natsu was sitting in his usual place sipping some drink every now and then.

Loke looked at me and I nodded giving him the signal for my usual. He got it pretty quickly and slid it over to me. Natsu looked at me and scoffed knowing immediately that there was something wrong. "So what's you're problem Gray and why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be meeting you're soon to be ah…cousin in law?" he asked. I nodded and took a sip of my alcohol savoring the burning in my throat being quenched for a second. "Nice to see you too Natsu. Well my "cousin in law" as you called her was someone unexpected." I replied Natsu raised his eyebrow and made the go on motion with his eyes and now Loke was listening too while doing the ever so cliché scene of cleaning out a beer mug.

"It was her" I replied vaguely hoping they wouldn't make me outright say her name, the thought made my stomach clench quite painfully. Loke stopped cleaning for a second and looked at me with a look caught between horror and shock giving me the clear message that he got what I was talking about. Unfortunately Natsu the forever stupid one didn't catch on and asked "Who?" I bit the inside of my cheek and clenched my fists, why was I friends with such an idiot?

"It was…Lucy" I growled out fire dancing across my eyes I could feel myself glaring at Natsu and I was in no mood for holding back. I could see that he realized what a big mistake he made, how that name held a massive place in my shattered heart, that name that was supposed to never be said again, to never be even implied. It was a given rule in our group of five. Never say, never imply, never ask, and never remind me. I gave out a breathy sigh, trying to calm myself down just a bit so, that I wouldn't pummel Natsu into the ground twice over and when that didn't work I took another sip of the alcohol that was so, appealing to me right now.

"It was really her?" Natsu choked out, despite being part of the bet he had become really close to Lucy, which is partly the reason we had fought so, many times for pointless times. I don't know but, when she retaliated I felt my insecurities disappear and just float away. Every time she denied it I could feel that feeling of insecurity float away…or at least for a while.

"So, you came here after she saw you and she is now unsupervised with you're stupid step brother who has the IQ of a vegtable?" Natsu asked a slight annoyance to his voice. I looked at him and could see that his bangs were covering his eyes. "Yes….?" I said adding that little pitch of a question. "YOU IDIOT! GET BACK TO YOUR STINKING HOUSE AND GET YOU'RE GIRL BACK. " Natsu yelled in my face pushing me off my chair and then pushing me out the door towards my car. Usually I would've yelled back but, I guess he convinced me. I smiled and ran towards my car, seeing Natsu and Loke getting in. I smiled a smile that turned into a smirk, I was getting my girl back and that's when I drove off at like 50km over the speed limit.

Lucy POV

The tears had dried up by now, I could no longer cry, not that I tried… I had begun to pack everything into my suitcase, I laughed a dry laugh, I had only unpacked this suitcase an hour or two ago. I stopped folding the dress I was supposed to wear to the wedding, it was absolutely beautiful I had worn it to all of the parties he had dragged me into… It was an Erin Fetherston dress specifically called Flora Dress. He had made me try on dresses without letting me look at the price tag so, when someone asked me if it was a Flora Dress during a party, I searched it up online and it actually was…there were so many memories wrapped up in that dress and it hurt just looking at. I felt the longing to cry but, I couldn't because my tears had dried up by now.

Anger bubbled up inside me I wanted to scream or cry out, to just break something. Just find someway to release the pent up anger and pain. I threw the dress away from me, not wanting to feel or see it for another second. The pain was horrible and I couldn't feel anything anymore I dropped to the bed and just lay there waiting fatigue to wash over me and give me that one release of sleep…

Dear people,

Hiya, guys wow this chapters end was horrible….Im sorry for not only the quality of this chapter but, the fact it took so long…. Yeah sorry about that. Well this is is just sad I. So many ways I am sorry for not doing to well…. I feel depressed now only am I listening to evanescence this chapter can only be described as depressing… Well anyways I thought of a new story should I do it? The summary is:

The Prince of Darkness is cold hearted and calculating, always finding new ways to torture his dark souls he is feared in both Heaven and Hell. He had a heart of iron shielded by the fire that burns anyone that gets too close. That is until he meets...his angel. Lucy is a kindhearted gentle angel with a heart of gold. Things happen and they are separated by society causing them to be your typical Romeo, Juliet love story.

So yeah, tell me if you like and it you do tel me who our Prince of Darkness should be, I was thinking either Natsu, Zeref, or maybe even Cobra? So, if you want to review about you're opinion for that and thanks for reading, once again sorry for quality, and bye!

Sincerely,
Clarissa Hunter xoxo
