Chapter 15

Lucy's POV

I looked into the eyes of the man before me. Loke, the boy whom had saved me from suicide over a parental death. He has my thanks, but never had i imagined meeting him here in Dragneel manor.

"Lucy! It's been so long since that time..." He said while looking down to the floor, thinking exactly what I was.

"It has been long..." I said as a flashback engulfed me.

Flashback

"It's so lonely..." I said to myself as the echo of the pattering rain filled the mansion's hallways. I smiled sadly after all no one was around to hear me or comfort me, "If only she was here, then I would've spent my days smiling and playing happily..." I whispered to myself as memories of my mother ran through my head like water. Her long blonde bangs and locks and the neat bun at the back of her head. Her chocolate brown orbs that were capable of stealing any man's heart and her small peach colored lips.

Slowly the once crystal clear images started to fade. My eyes widened as I realised i couldn't see what her face looked like anymore.

I cried, the tears trailing down my pink cheeks. I didn't want to live here. I didn't want to live anther day without her. I spent my life with her. Without my mother, could I have really been Lucy?

I staggered towards the balcony as the rain drenched me. No-one cared for my exsistence. I reached for the balcony bars and held them tightly. I looked down, it was such a long drop I'm bound to end it here like this...

I pull clloser the nearest chair and hesistantly stepped on it. The top of the balcony was now up to my waist, enough for me to hop over and jump.

I take a last look at my surroundings and thought hard. Do i really want to do this?

I lifted my small fraile body and flipped to the other side of the balcony where i stood on a thin platform of glass. I looked down to see a ginger haired boy standing with worry, "Don't interfere!" I shouted.

I leapt. But instead of falling straight to the cold wet earth and die. I survivded with a soft cusion like body underneath me.

"You're to young to die..." Came a weak voice from under me.

"..."

Flashback End

I looked at Loke again. The small scar on his arm represented his bravery. The small boy that had saved me, he's all grown up and devoted to protect me. All this time he's been silently protecting me.

He brought me into a hug, "I missed you so much, you've matured a lot since back then."

"Same goes for you." I smiled.

"I heard you're getting married? Lucky girl." He pulled back and smirked.

"I am. He's here, you can meet him later."

"I'll be glad to hear that I'll be meeting him soon." He grinned.

I walked back into the bedroom that Natsu and I shared. I staggered to the bed because of my tired legs. As I neared the bed, i felt an unknown presence behind me. I swung my head around to see Natsu. He pushed me onto the bed and pinned me to the matress.

"I knew you were lying this whole time..." He said with an angered expression.

"N-natsu!" I stuttered.

"What do you have to say?"

"I don't get it? What are you talking about?" I said while blushing. His face was merely inches from mine.

"Who was that ginger haired man?" He said as his hand travelled up my belly.

"Who? Loke? He is an old friend of mine." I started feeling uneasy.

"A friend? Then explain to me why he hugged you?" He said as his hands gently grazed my breasts and moved up to the collar of my dress. He traced the floral pattern on the brim of the fabric and tugged on it, causing it to rip slightly.

"..." I couldn't think properly. I was aroused.

"If you won't answer, I'll continue..." He said with lustful eyes.

I didn't answer. He sighed and ripped my dress in two from the collar. All that was left was the corset from this morning.

I lied on the matress powerless. With no effort Natsu lifted me up and untied my corset making it fall back onto the matress.

I blushed and gained control of myself. I quickly covered the mounds with my arms only to be pushed and pinned down again.

"Last chance, tell me who he really is..." Natsu threatened. Though we both knew that we wanted this. We both wanted to continue. But i wanted to explain first...

"Loke is just a friend whom had saved me from suiciding when i was little and had lost my mother..." I whispered while looking to the side.

Instead of any major action. Natsu held me in his arms, pressing my naked chest against his. Whispering in my ear, "I remember the countless times I had no one to comfort me because of the same accident for my mother too... No-one, No-one realised i was even there. My presence was air..."

As he said the painstaking words the similar feeling of a knife jabbed into the deepest pits of my heart. I knew what he mean... My eyes stung and tears dribbled down my cheeks. Natsu sat up and brought me along. He released the embrace and looked at my face. Slowly he brought his face closer and licked at my tears and slowly made his way to my lips. Without a moment to waste he captured my lips.

I know this is a late update. But i was thinking from now on maybe I could update twice a week? Occasionally it would be thrice.

It's the second last week of school so there are those exams that still bother me to the ends of earth. Sorry! :(

Thanks for reading!
