Chapter 11: Answer part 1

If I'm honest, I'm jealous of sleeping beauty when she's asleep, you don't have to feel anything while your sleeping and plus no one gets hurt this way, that's my opinion.

I wake up to find that I was in bed, a grim evening was dawning upon us slowly, well that was what I could make out of the blurry window from my bed. With my blanket on top of me and a warm towel on my head it was quite hard for me to move to the side and look around my room. Breathing heavily I start to cry a few tears, it wasn't because of anything, it's just because I have a fever… I presume. (A/N: I don't know for other people I know but whenever I have a fever, I start to cry for no reason… haha)

I close my eyes again wondering, how am I supposed to respond to Sting? Should I tell him that I love him? Or tell him that I just want to stay as friends? I sigh as I open my eyes while putting one arm on top of my forehead and glance over to the new cookies he gave me. As I wipe my tears away with my arm I get up and go downstairs to find no one in the house, I thought he would still be here…

As I wobble to get to the chair to sit down still wondering who bought all this furniture for me? As I think about that big mess of things that happened, I lean on my chair and sigh "I hate being sick, this is the worst…" My eyes move over to the side of the table and my eyes seem to catch another note from Sting

Hey Lucy! I might not be around for around 2 days or 3, I forgot that I was supposed to go on a mission with Rouge and I bet now he is screaming at me. Until then can you please think about your answer to me? – Sting

As I turn off the water boiler and pour myself some hot water, I touch my chin and hope that I get better tomorrow. I drink my water and medicine and go back to bed, I close my eyes slowly thinking what will happen tomorrow.

Next Day

I wake up forcing my eyes open, I had a nightmare about Fairy Tail. I have my arm resting on my head, I was panting really hard. After my breathing was steady, I breathe in, sigh and look to the side mumble to myself "That was just a dream, thank god" I put my hand on my head "Looks like I'm feeling better already" I put on a soft smile and get ready to go to the guild.

I run downstairs and quickly make myself some toast while drinking a glass of cold milk. I put the piece of toast in milk and put on my boots, I run out the house while still eating my bread. The reason why I was really energetic this morning was because I think Wendy and Levy were coming back today! As I run to the guild I catch a sight of Lisanna, she was giggling at something. Oh well, I don't really care anymore.

It was still early so not a lot of people were here, as I creep slowly into the guild without anyone trying to notice me "Lucy…" I got goose bumps when I heard this, ah it's just the master. "Yeah?" I haven't talked to him in a long time. "I have something to ask you , come into my office" As he walks up the stairs with quite a quick pace, I question his expression, all I see is… sadness?

As I walk into his office, I hear Natsu and the others walk into the guild. Not wanting to be seen by them, I run inside his office. "Sit" He says in a slightly grouchy voice. I sit down with both my hands on my lap and say while leaning my head forward " So what did you want to ask me?"

Master stands on his table so that he is in eye level with me "I understand that there is something going on between you and team Natsu?"

"Yes, it has been going on for a while" I look at him with serious eyes

"So have you been able to solve it yet? Also I heard your house caught on fire, are you alright?"

"No I haven't been able to solve it and yes I am fine"

"Do you want me to talk to Natsu and the others?"

"No thank you… Even if I cry and get hurt, I want to be able to solve things within my own power…"

"If you wish but if things get out of control I will talk to them"

"Okay…I will be taking my leave now" I stand up and walk out the door but as I walk out I hear Master say "I'm disappointed in all you guys, even though she has nothing but you guys, you betray her…" Not wanting to cry I pinch my arm and bite my lip while walking to Levy and Wendy

2 days later…

For these past two days I haven't been doing anything too exciting, I have just been thinking about it by myself, but I feel quite refreshed, I haven't been harassed with horrible words. Well one reason for that was because instead of staying inside the guild I have been sitting outside enjoying the breeze just thinking to myself. Also since Wendy and Levy came back I have actually been able to have a normal conversation in the guild.

As I'm sitting down on a bench in the park eating my bento, I guess I was sort of staring into space. I dropped my egg back into my bento and just started staring "…Ne…LU-CHAN!" Levy was waving her hand in front of my face. "What are you thinking about?" She put her hand to her mouth and grinned at me while saying "Is it possibly love?" She started laughing at me while I was slightly blushing . Wendy popped beside me and asked me while giving a questioning face "Is it possibly Sting? I have heard rumors about you and him but I wasn't sure if it's true" She gives me puppy eyes signaling me to tell her the story. "I guess I will tell you the story then…

…..

"So that's what happened…" The was a slight breeze that made all of our hair flutter in the wind while the both of them were giving me intense stares, then Levy broke the silence "So how are you going to respond?" I look up to the sky and uneasily said "I don't know…." As I finish eating my food and saying my thanks I look at the both of them and smile "He is coming tonight I think… I will tell him tonight. Wish me luck!" I get up and walk away to my house while waving goodbye to them. As I walk away with a smile I hear the both of them shout "Good luck Lu-Chan!"

Time skip …

"Hey Lucy! I'm back from my mission" Sting bursts through my door giving a feeling of a sudden happy atmosphere. He rubs the back of his head and asks me "Can you give me an answer now? You can tell me if you need more time" I close my eyes and breathe in.

I open my eyes and say with confidence "Sting Eucliffe, my answer to you is…
