Previously..
Wendy tapped me and I looked down at her.
"Thank you Erza-san! Today was the best day ever!" She thanked as she hugged me.
"No problem Wendy! I'm glad you had fun" I smiled.
"I wish you were marrying my brother instead!"
My mouth dropped open, and my whole body froze.
"W-WHAT?"
I was shocked. I stared wide eyed at Wendy, who had a bitter smile on her face, she looked back up at me, and I only stared at her with wide eyes.
"Erza-San, are you okay?" Wendy asked worriedly.
"I-I-I'm o-ok" I stumbled out.
My stomach felt like it was being punched, and my eyes started watering slightly.
"Erza-san! Lay down! I know some medical treatments." Wendy insisted me.
I layed down on the grass and stared up at the fireworks, shock was running through my body and I was just, confused.
"Married?! What the actual fuck?"
"I never saw a ring! Was I not looking hard enough? Was he only leading me on? Did he only see us as good friends?"
Millions of thoughts ran through my mind, until I heard Wendy's calm voice telling me to breath in and out.
I did as she told me to and took very deep breaths, then I sat back up.
"Erza-san, are you ok? Why did you have that reaction?" Wendy asked with concern laced in her voice.
"Oh... dont worry, I'm fine! I just, had a sudden stomach ache..." I lied.
Although Wendy was young, she could tell I was lying, it showed in her face, luckily she went along with it.
Mira scooted over, seeing me in distress and smiled.
"Is everything alright with Erza?" Mira asked Wendy.
Before Wendy could answer, Erza started talking.
"I'm fine, Wendy just told me something and I had a stomach ache at the same moment" Erza lied again.
"Wendy dear, what did you tell Erza?" Mira asked.
"Hmm, I told her that I wish she was marrying my brother instead of my soon to be sister in law."
Mira's mouth dropped, her bring really surprised as well.
"Your brother is getting married?!" Mira yelled.
Wendy looked down at her hands and started playing with her nails.
"Yes, he is, but I like Erza-san ten times more than her!" Wendy sighed.
"Awe, that's sweet!" Mira squealed.
The fireworks ended, and everyone started leaving. I didn't get up because my brain was still in shock.
Once most of the people filed out, our group got up and made our way to the exit. We all went to our separate cars after Wendy waved goodbye to the team, minus Mira and I.
Mira nudged me and whispered "Do you want me to drive? You still don't look too good."
I nodded and fished out my keys from my purse and handed them to her, we walked to the car and I got in the passengers side.
Mira and Wendy were chatting up a storm, while I was looking at the window. I couldn't stop thinking about Jellal. I couldn't help but start to feel anger towards him.
We arrived at the hotel and I miserably got out of the car and trudged to the elevator behind Wendy and Mira. Once we got into our room,I plopped down on the couch and stared off into space.
Wendy poked me and Mira giggled.
"Don't worry about her Wendy! She's just having one of her moments" Mira smiled.
The two watched TV until they heard a knock on the door.
"Ah, it must be your brother!" Mira announced.
My head popped up, but I soon realized I didn't have anything to look forward to. I slammed my head back onto the couch as Mira skipped to the door.
"Hi Jellal! Wendy! Your brother is here!" Mira called.
"Nii-san!" Wendy squealed as she ran into his arms.
"Hey Wendy, how was your day?" Jellal asked.
"It was AMAZING!" Wendy half screamed
Jellal smiled then turned towards Mira.
"Mirajane, is Erza here? I wanted to thank her again." He asked.
"Oh, uh yeah she's here! Let me get her..." Mira told him.
Mira briskly ran towards me and violent shook me.
"Erza, Jellal wants to talk to you"
My head suddenly popped up, and I looked at Mira.
"He...wants to talk to me?" I asked for reassurance.
Mira nodded her head, and I sighed and got up to go to the door.
"Hey Erza! I just wanted to say thanks again for watching Wendy today, it was really helpful." He thanked her.
"Mhm, no problem..."
"It's now or never Erza, you have to ask him."
"Why didn't you ever tell me you were getting married?" I blurted out.
Jellal looked shocked, and he almost looked scared.
"How did you find out?" He asked back.
"Your little sister told me."
Jellal looked at Wendy, who gave him a sheepish smile.
"I never told you because it never came up" Jellal told me.
"So? You've basically been tricking me this whole time! I actually thought we might've had a thing, I guess you were only leading me on so you could use me as a babysitter." I was on the verge of tears now.
"Erza, I would never use you, you're important to me, in fact I-"
"Never mind, Wendy needs to get her sleep, so you should leave." I snapped.
"Erza..." Jellal started again.
"Bye Jellal, text me if you need me to watch Wendy again" I sighed as I went back into my room.
"Hey...Nii-san...do you like Erza?" Wendy asked.
"I don't know Wendy, but I think I'm starting to" Jellal sighed.
Wendy smiled, thinking back to what Mira told her while Erza was getting the pizzas.
"Hey Wendy, do you know what love is?" Mira asked out of the blue.
I nodded my head, and looked at Mira weirdly.
"Don't you think Erza and your brother would make a cute couple?" Mira evily smiled.
"You want to set the two up? I'm in!" Wendy smiled widely.
The two high fived and started talking again, as if nothing happened.
Once I got into my room, I dragged myself to my bed, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, my tears started pouring.
I could only think about how stupid I was to think that I might've had a chance with him, or if that we had something going on.
I heard a knock on the door, and I didn't bother to try and hide my tears. Mira came in and walked towards the bed.
She sat down and put her hand on my back.
"Erza...I know you're...sad about Jellal but look. It's not over" Mira told her.
"Well, when I first saw you two together, there was a spark that I almost know 100% is stronger than whatever he has with his his fiancée."
I looked up with tears streaming down my face.
"What are you saying Mira?" I asked.
"I'm saying that no matter what, you and Jellal are meant to be. And I promise you, Jerza will happen." Mira smiled.
"J-Jerza?" I asked.
"Yes, Jerza" Mira smiled.
I slightly smiled and looked back at my pillow.
"Wanna bake?" Mira asked me with a sly smile.
I popped out of my bed and ran to the kitchen web my suitcase full of baking supplies in hand.
"I'll take that as a yes" Mira smiled.
