Chapter4

"Natsu" the white haired girl opened the room's door as her eyes fell on the pink haired guy who was sitting on his handicapped chair while looking at the blonde who sat in front of him and what she looked that she was sinking in tears. She quickly wiped them and looked down at the ground grabbing her bag tightly. Natsu snapped his head to the girl who had normal cold eyes on her face.

"What is it?" asked the salamander.

"There are some guys, two girls and one guy want to see you" she stated as Natsu became fully focused of what was she is talking about. He was shocked of what he heard from her, there were never someone wants to see him except for those annoying journalists who were always nagging on him to tell how his life became after he quit the basket.

"Journalists?"

"No, they said that they are your friends" she answered as she brought both arms behind her back and kept staring at him waiting the perfect answer from him that he could spell. Natsu -after quitting basket- he didn't have friends that would come over to where he was and visit him and that made him feel suspicious about that. He took a deep breath thinking who could them be that would come all the way to visit him. Natsu has pushed all his friends away from him and went away missing from their eyes' sight in order not to burden their shoulders more than they were already were. He had missed them so much but, he thinks that he will be regretting calling and telling them where he lived. Not to mention, he was living in the same city Lucy used to live in the past, and God knows why.

He sighed and rubbed his back of head meeting that ponytail he had thanks to the white haired woman "ok, let them come." The white haired left and then Natsu stared out of the window feeling nervous to meet those people who called themselves his friends. He started to guess that they would be his teammates and his coach, of course but he quickly removed that idea from his head because he knew that they will never know his place. He started to feel a little disappointed but why? Why is he feeling disappointed and he was the one to push them away and leaves the place he had lived all along. He was a human with flesh and blood like others humans and of course he would be feeling those feelings even if he was always hiding them and lying. The blonde suddenly stood up surprising the pink haired guy as he snapped his head towards her raising his head to look at her face. He looked at her with a shock on his face as but he never spoke as he waited her to speak first.

"I will get going now..." she paused as she kept staring at him feeling the tears that gathered again in her eyes, she had missed him and never wanted to leave his side again but her pride prevented her from doing so. Natsu didn't comment or even say a single word. As much as he missed her too as much as he wasn't able to hold her and telling her to stay by his side and never leaves him like she did in the past. He missed every single thing about her, her soft blonde hair, her chocolate brown eyes, her smile she wore whenever she was with him, her soft touch that she gave him when he was lazy sleeping and she wakes him up, her voice that was like a lullaby in his ears and her smell. Natsu looked down at his desk trying to control those feelings that would easily expose him.

"Ok... take care" and that simple sentence made her heart aches of pain. He wasn't the guy she knew years ago, he was different and she hated it. She hated seeing that dark black circles under his eyes that made him look tired. She hated that sad smile he wore when he look like he had enough of his life. She hated those meaningful eyes. She hated his calm cold self whenever someone hurts him so deeply. She started to wonder how much he went through these years. How much he had suffered? How much he tried to make himself busy thinking about something else? She thought if she was still with him when he got into that accident, he would try his harder to push her away. She waved her hand to him and started walking but suddenly stopped when her eyes met together with the three guys' eyes who looked really shocked to see her in a place like that. Natsu opened his mouth as he became shocked of what was happening in front of him, as well. He had two shocks in one day.

"Lucy!" the blue haired girl said with full eyes looking at the blonde who looked helpless unable to say a word. She gulped as she looked back at Natsu who looked to them with a very calm face. Erza's eyes moved to where the handicapped guy sits and tears started to form in her eyes. She wasn't able to believe her eyes. She smiled happily as she felt tears wet her cheeks.

"Natsu..." she said as she walked to where he sat stretching her arms out to him wrapping them around him and giving him a tight hug. Natsu had mixed feelings inside his heart, he wished to see his friends a minute ago but he felt strange after his wish came true. He was a little depressed because he was put in a strange situation. His hand was shaking as he was trying to raise it to hold and hug her back but he wasn't able to do so. His hand didn't listen to him and he wasn't forcing it at all. Natsu closed his eyes slowly and the memory of the accident day started to flow in his head making him feels more pain. He knew now another of the reasons of why he was pushing his friends and the people he loved away from him, he was afraid to get another pain in his life. He have had enough and didn't want to remember the horrible pain he had in his life. Natsu started to lower his hand slowly to his side after he was going to hold the redhead like she was holding him. He opened his eyes and moved them to fall on the black haired guy who was looking at him with glad eyes and that when the redhead titania let him and returned back to look at his eyes with a smile that was curled on her lips.

"Idiot, don't you know how much I have missed you"
