She was discovered minutes after the fall. An ambulence was called in vain. No pulse emminated from her wrist and her eyes stared into nothingness.
Her family was called at once, her Father asked for privacy while he realised that now he was all alone in this world. No one he loved was left.
He blamed himself always pushing her for good grades and not realising the state that she was in. He sat in the morgue, on his own, with tears running down his face.
The next to hear were Levy, Erza and Juvia. They had spent the night trying to get through the Lucy's phone as she had failed to attend a friends party, even though she had promised. Theu realised why she hadn't l
They broke down crying when they heard from the schol nurse, demanding that it was false.
Ezra had to be restrained by the nurse as she attemted to punish herself. They didn't return to lesson and their parents where called to inform them of what had happened.
As soon as the lunch bell rang, the three walked out tears clearly visable on their face.
Their friends asked what was wrong but they refused to tell anyone, knowing Lucy kept her Black Dog a secret for a reason.
They agreed they had to tell Natsu, who had once loved the girl who had just passed. They called him away from his girlfriend, and told him.
He first thought it was a sick joke, but then realised who would make a joke like that? They all went some where private and spent the whole lunch time discussing Lucy and her life. They cried for most of it and they all blamed themselves.
Nastu admitted that he still had loved Lucy even though he had gone out with Lisanna. He was an idiot and everyone agreed.
Natsu called his dad asking him could he pay his respects to her tonight. Igneel agreed and said he wanted to come too
Igneel had loved Lucy as a daughter so when Natsu had told him they broke up, he exploded asking why?
The response he got was he found another girl.
He had refused to talk to his son for a week but got over it and moved on.
The day drawled on slowly and only Natsu returned to his lessons, while the others stayed and talked in the nurses office.
They travelled to the Heartfilia estate after school they met Jude Heartfilia.
The pain was clear on his face, they all felt like crying again. The whole house seemed to have had the same demour, the staff were quiet ans mornful. To Natsu, the house seemed darker than when Lucy was alive,'
Igneel payed his respects while the other four showed themselves into the drawing room.
Surprisingly they found Gray in there,
"What? Why are you here Gray?" Asked Erza.
Gray was as close to Lucy as Natsu had been before they started dating, they were childhood friends after all. They hadn't noticed him at school today either, they soon realised why,
"I'm the one who received Lucys Note, it was posted, it came in the mail this morning". His voice was horse from crying, another surprise.
He looked nearly as tried as Mr Hearfilia, a look of guilt and pain decorating his face.
"Do you have it with you?" Natsu asked bearly audible.
"Yeh, I do. Its here." He took a peice of paper out of his pocket, treatly it delicatly like it was worth a million pounds.
"Thank you" Natsu stared at the cursive writing on the front. Tears already threatening to fall.
He read over it and tears leaked down his face.
"Oh Lucy, Im so sorry" he croaked as he finished.
"Can Juvia see Love Riv-Lucy's Note?" Asked Juvia.
"Here you go" He wisphered.
When Juvia had finished, she passed it onto Erza until Levy had began to read. The others had taken a seat on a sofa and Igneel and Jude were still talking.
Levy cried like the rest but noticed something that the others didn't. A tiny symbol that only she would understand.
The symbol came from when they were around 14 they had the dreammof becoming writers, and usually wrote thing for each other to read.
When something wasn't finished or if it was a draft they would put the symbol in the bottom right corner of the page. Exactly where one was now.
"This isn't complete..." She wispered.
"What?" Erza asked not catching completely what Levy said.
"This isn't complete, there's more of it" she said again louder, this caught the attention of everyone.
"How do you know?" Asked Gray. Levy explained their past habit and the others agreed that she was probably correct.
Jude Heartfilia and Igneel Dragneel entered the room at that moment. One in turn they payed their respects to Jude and they all say down.
"Mr Heartfilia have you read Lucy's note?" Juvia asked, meekly.
"Yes, yes, I have. There is another one upstairs adressed to myself, I will go and get it in a moment, you may look at it" he said somely.
"Oh no no, Mr Heartfilia. Thats private we cant possibly read it" Mr Dragneel protested. The rest of the teens knew that this was true but did not support him because of their curiosity.
"Its fine. I'm sure Lucy would have wanted her thoughts to have been shared, espeacially to her friends" He replied. They all mentally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now let me go and get it. I won't take long" Mr Heartfilia stood up, leaving the teens (plus Igneel) waiting wondering what Lucy had written and why she had put that symbol.
