I have only two questions guys please hear me out!
To all the Manga readers, what happens after the tartarous arc?
Can anyone tell me about Christian weddings?
Chapter 6: Sleepover!
Previously...
Her words rung in my head, He cares for you.
Then why did he act like this?
I kept thinking about it as I walked my way back from that deserted hallway.
Did he really care about me? Then why? Why?
I was nearing my office desk now. The bright lights of the other room were drawing near. I ruffled my hair in frustration and silently a tear ran down my face.
I was just a step away from the lighted and lively open room. I was standing at the end of the hallway staring at the people working happily in that room. But the tears were threatening to fall down any minute now. I can't cry! I have to be strong and face this! There is no way that I can let anyone see me like this!
I brushed off the tears hastily and wiped my tear stained face with my hand. I put on a smile on my face. A fake one. I took a deep breath and walked ahead into the light.
Unknown to me Levy was looking at me from the other side of the room a frown covering her face with lots of worry. She ran to Erza's desk immediately and whispered something in her ear. Erza only nodded and picked up her phone and dialed Juvia's number who had taken a half day today.
I sat on my desk thinking the whole thing over again when something odd struck me.
How does Natsu know about Sting?
I was rethinking. Everything. Again.
Was it right to act like that?
Is it really my mistake?
He was just joking. Wasn't he?
I was the one who overreacted. Yet he's feeling responsible. I should apologize, right? No.
Why hasn't sting been able to find me yet?! I'm glad he hasn't but… is this because of Natsu?
And how in the world does he know about me and Sting so much? Uggh! This is all giving me a headache!
Who is he anyway?! The only thing I do know about Natsu is that he's bloody rich and my boss and probably my fiancé.
So I did what I should have done a long time ago: Google research about Mr. Natsu Dragneel.
The result appeared and I opened the first website I found. The Wikipedia page loaded.
My eyes widened with shock as I read the news in front of me. My fists clenched with anger and tears pooled down my horror-stricken face.
"Hey Lu-Chan!" I heard levy calling me.
I turned my head as she ran towards me. I was on my way out the office doors. Once we were out she said,
"We're having a sleepover tonight and you're coming!"
I sighed and said,
"Do I have any option?"
"Nope!" she said cheering!
"Fine. Just let me grab a few things first. K?"
She nodded in satisfaction.
I closed the door behind me before I glanced at the letter and the package on my desk again. I sighed and shook my head. I walked with my bag in my hand, to levy's car that was waiting for me outside my house.
"Time for truth and dare!" Juvia declared.
"No way you guys! I'm not playing" I protested.
"You have to!" Erza said looking at me with a scary face.
I flinched in fear.
"No way!" I protested again.
"Oh come on Lu-Chan why you are scared of truth and dare all of a sudden? Are you hiding something from us?" levy said
"w-what?! I'm not hiding anything!" I said stuttering a bit.
Levy looked at me with devilish eyes and said, "You are hiding something! Your eyes can't lie!"
I gulped.
Juvia said,"Why don't you play?"
Erza sent me a death glare now.
Another gulp.
"Fine." I said slowly.
Juvia cheered along with Levy.
Juvia went first and asked Levy, "I saw Gajeel buy something from the jewel shop the other day. What did he give you?"
Levy turned beet red. She answered stuttering a bit,
"A ring. We're engaged now."
Gasps echoed all around the room and all three of us congratulated her. When we were done doing so, she didn't waste another second and asked me,
"Why were you crying today?"
My eyes widened. I didn't expect anyone to have actually seen that.
"I-it was nothing. Don't worry Levy-Chan!"
"No tell me the truth. We all deserve to know it!"
Meanwhile, Natsu hopped into Lucy's apartment through the window. He was going to meet up to her and apologize for his behavior. Maybe she would hit him or shout at him. He didn't care. He knew it deserved it all. Heck he just wanted to see her no matter what!
But when he did enter, all he saw was an empty dark room. No Lucy. Her things were still in place. But then where was she? He found the switchboard and put on the lights in the room. Before he began to search for clues, a small package and a letter on the table caught his attention. He went over and picked up the envelope. In a fine handwriting it was written,
"To Natsu,"
He hurriedly opened the letter and his eyes scanned the beautiful letter. His eyes widened and tears formed in the corners of his eyes. One hand flew to his forehead in frustration and worry. Once he read the last line clearly, he tore open the package and gasped loudly.
It was the diamond ring of their engagement.
Tears finally fell drop by drop and his heart shattered into a million pieces.
I was about to make some excuse when the doorbell did it for me.
The doorbell rung wildly again.
I hastily got up and opened the door trying to escape the question. But levy beat me to it and opened the door. She froze in her place when she saw the person standing before her. I saw too. My eyes grew wide.
It was Mira. And she was crying.
"Come in!" I said.
Natsu stared at the mess in front of him that he himself had created. He smirked in satisfaction, evil coursing in his mind.
Files lay everywhere. Torn books and broken table covered the floor. The curtains hung half cut and pencils hung on the wall like iron nails. The frames on the wall were shattered and bits of glass stuck on Natsu's skin.
Blood trickled down from his arm.
The scene was horrible. But Mira had seen it all. She only ran searching for the only woman who could stop this madness of his…Lucy.
Mira didn't move when she was invited inside. Instead she pulled Lucy outside and whispered in her ear the only words she could muster before she fainted,
"Natsu…office….broken….injured…angry…Help him!"
Dear Natsu,
I have discovered of your true identity now. There is need to fool me anymore. I was a fool who played along to your little game long enough. Today's events have proved my suspicions. To think I actually trusted you and believed in you! My heart still betrays me but mind has taken control for now.
Are you happy now? Both you and Sting were brothers! You never told me! Any of you! Both of you played with my feelings! Are you happy that you actually succeeded? Did you know I was actually falling for your stupid little tricks? Well not any more.
Now that I know that the both of you had this planned through. I have decided to call this marriage off. It's time you realize that I am not some toy that the both of you can play with!
So I am giving this ring back to you. Find some other hand for this ring!
-Lucy Heartfilia!
