Chapter 7

Memories, I would say are strong. You might have little ones, good or bad but they're sort of a reminder of your past, which you should never forget. They're a reminder on how Fate and Destiny played with your life in that short period of time. We all have memories of our past some we want to forget but some are just too precious to let go of. Memories, are they to keep or to be forgotten?

We're not the only people living on this planet, there a lot more all over this huge spare we live in. Since we're animals just more advanced, we have to find a way to get along with each other. In order to do that we have to socialize and get to know people. Once we know them then we can be friends. One thing I would say that makes any relationship strong would be trust. We have to learn to trust one another because you never know when you'll need a friend to talk to.

Trust is a key aspect in any relationship. I say it's a bit unfair that you have to earn it but that's how we know others can be trusted. Let's face it we just don't want to get hurt and the people we trust aren't the ones who are going to hurt us. It's funny though because trust is hard to earn but it's so easy to lose.

Lucy woke up at around 7:30AM. Her friends were still sleeping and would be out till about 9:00. She had time to go out and meet Sting. Band practice wasn't till 1:00PM so she was fine. It was just her and Sting for 2 hours. Lucy didn't know why but she was looking forward to see Sting and talk to him.

She tipped toed into the bathroom and took a bath with her special strawberry soap. She went in the bath and cleaned every bit of her making sure she didn't miss a spot. She also washed her hair with her vanilla shampoo. Once she was done in the bath tub she got out and blow dried her hair than dried her body. When she got out of the bathroom it was 8:30. Everyone was still asleep. She walked over to her closet and put on her undergarments before proceeding to choose what to wear.

It was just Sting but she felt like she had to try her best to look nice for him. So she put on her deo and lotion. She looked at the weather outside to help her decide and it looked sunny. She picked up a strapless green blue dress but then thought to put it back. Wear that and your friends will be wonder why dressed to fancy. So a dress is a no, no. She then went to get brown shorts and a green top. She also brought a jacket just in case it got a bit cold. The shoes she chose to wear were like sneaker except they didn't have the laces, the front of the shoes were too short and reviled her feet. The shoes were a cross between sneakers and flats.

Once she was done she tied her hair in a ponytail. When was the last time I cut my hair? It's half way down my back now. Should I cut it or leave it like this? I'll ask the girls when they wake up. Lucy went down stairs her brother already there, though in a robe and looking very tired.

"Hey big brother" Lucy said happily

"Why are you so happy?" Rufus asked "I sent you pictures of the pool party you should check them out"

"I'll do that later" Lucy said

She grabbed her breakfast which was toast with jam and juice. Then she made pancakes for her waking up friends. It was now 9:30. They were still asleep. Once the pancakes were done she went upstairs to her still sleep friends. She couldn't believe this.

"WAKE UP" Lucy yelled at them "GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF YOUR SLEEPING BAGS"

At the sound of such loud yelling who wouldn't get up. Levy was the first one to wake up and saw a calm yet already dressed Lucy standing at the door. Levy let out a yawn and went back to sleep. Lucy was irritated by this. She wanted them out of the house before she drove off to Sting's house. Who knows what they might about her and Sting next if they saw her?

Lucy went down stairs and got two source pans. Once she found two big ones she went back up to her room. She smiled evil before banging the two together. That woke them all up. The down side was that Erza was pissed.

Erza got up in an angry mode and looked towards Lucy who noticed her face. Lucy though scared stood her ground and faced her. Erza glared and Lucy glared back. It was her house after all and she had plans.

"What was that for?" Erza said

"You guys wouldn't wake up when I yelled so this was the next best thing" Lucy said

"Well it fucking hurts my ear drums" Erza told her

"I don't give two shits" Lucy told her "You guys my brother has people over so you have to leave now"

"Bitch" Erza whispered

"Oh so now I'm the bitchy one" Lucy commented hearing her "Blame my brother and his work"

Then they all started fighting. The others were trying to stop Erza from killing Lucy while Lucy stood there yelling back at Erza. Rufus was down stairs hearing the annoying noise coming from his sister and Erza. He was making his way to the stairs when he met Lucy. Lucy had come down to prove her point that her brother had workmates over, which was a lie. Her friends didn't know that though.

"Look" Lucy said to him "You have workmates coming over ok. I'll explain it all when they leave. Just please help me out here"

"Fine" Rufus agreed

He went upstairs with Lucy. Erza was being pinned down by Mira while the rest were huddled in a corner scared to death. Rufus swallowed. Erza Scarlet was a very scary girl indeed. Rufus had to do this for his sister, if she wanted her friends out of her house then whatever she had to do had to be very important.

"Sorry girls" Rufus said "Got important people coming over and I need you so get yourselves home"

"Tell that bitch of a sister that she should bang pans to wake us up" Erza yelled from under Mira

"I shall not tolerate that kind of language in my house" Rufus firmly told her

"In this cause Erza really doesn't give a fuck" Cana told him while drinking something out of a bottle

Rufus thought it was water but everyone else knew about their drinking friend wasn't drinking water. Cana like booze, she could drink as many glasses as she could and wouldn't end up drank as fast as anyone else. Lucy sighed this wasn't going anywhere plus it was 10:30 already. Time was going by fast and she had 30 minutes to get to the mall. It was 30 minutes away.

"Ok" Lucy yelled "I'm sorry for how I woke you up"

"Oh so now the bitch is sorry" Erza said still struggling to get up

"Fuck this" Mira said looking around the room "Someone get a hold of Jellal right now"

Mira's face could kill with one look. Mira might seem cute and kind but when she's pissed she's a real devil. Erza was just a demon. The two girls were devils and demons at the same time.

At the look of their faces everyone dialled Jellal and when he heard what was going. He rushed over in his car. He lived like 15 minutes away from Lucy. He rushed in and went straight upstairs to his really, really pissed off girlfriend.

"Erza calm down" He said approaching her slowly

"Hell no" Erza yelled at him

Jellal signed to Mira for them to switch places, so Jellal would on top of Erza. Erza didn't notice what was going on she was still glaring at Lucy who was glaring back at her.

Since she was distracted Jellal took the opportunity and switched places with Mira who quickly got off her and ran out the door with Lisanna. Cana followed them. Levy and Juvia went home together too. Everyone left as fast as possible while Jellal dealt with the only girl on the wrestling team.

"Erza" Jellal said loud

"What!" Erza screamed at him

"Calm the fuck down" Jellal commanded

"I shall…" Erza started off saying but just blushed noticing their position

"Let's get you home" Jellal told her smiling now at his now embarrassed girlfriend "We'll talk more at my house"

Erza just nodded and the got up to get all her stuff. Lucy was happy but she was late it was 10:50. Erza got into Jellal care and they drove off. Lucy turned to her brother and sighed. She had to explain everything to him now. They went down stairs and sat down in the sitting room. Lucy told him everything.

At the mall with Sting.

Sting was early. Right on time and was already in the café looking like a loner. It was 11:10 and Lucy still hadn't showed up. He got up to leave but then Lucy walked through the door looking all over for him. Once she saw him she walked over to him as fast as she could.

Lucy was so disappointed in herself. She sat down and a waitress came to take her order. She got her usual and Sting got what he had last time. They didn't talk for a long time. Lucy was to ashamed to speak and Sting was slightly mad at her. Their drinks came and Sting couldn't take it anymore.

"So why are you so late" Sting said

"Sleepover" Lucy said "Erza got pissed then it took forever to calm her down that we had to call Jellal"

"Of course" Sting said not believing her "Doesn't matter. It's not like a date or anything so who cares of you were a bit late"

When he said that Lucy felt a bit hurt, I mean she had woken up and everything she even kicked her friends out of her house. It was like all her work was for nothing.

"So I did all this for nothing" Lucy said out loud

Sting didn't comment. He didn't want to. The only reason he called this date was to talk to her about her running out yesterday and they hadn't even mentioned that yet.

"About yesterday" Sting said "Why did you run off?"

"It's from my past" Lucy said

"Just like my last name" Sting said

"I guess" Lucy said "Your Loke friend didn't come"

"You said just me and you" Sting reminded her "I like it better this way"

Lucy was going to pretend she didn't hear that. She wanted to tell him but she wasn't sure she could trust him. Lucy phone beeped it was a text from Rufus but before she could open it Sting got her phone then after a few minutes gave it back. Lucy was a bit confused.

"If you don't want to talk about it now" Sting said "Text me, call me or email me anytime you want to talk"

Lucy smiled at him. He is so nice. Quoting everything I say like it's some kind of thing we have. I love talking to him his fun. Not like other guys, his trying to be there for me and I barely know him.

"There's the smile I love" Sting said smiling too

"You're smiling two" Lucy said "Better than your serious face that you always have on"

"Sorry" Sting said "We can't all be happy 24/7"

"I'm not happy 24/7" Lucy defended herself "I get sad sometimes"

"I noticed" Sting said

They laughed for a bit and talked. They were really getting along. Sting couldn't deny that he loved talking to her. He was looking forward to their date today and was a bit upset she came late. He had deoed and everything. He smiled at her and she smiled at him. Everything was just fine between them.

Maybe I can trust her/him. They both thought to themselves

Trust really does have to be earned and once you earn it never lose it. Sometimes you really can't get it back and you might have lost a friend forever. Humans are so complicated. Trust an important thing to everyone. Is it really worth losing a friend just because they broke your trust?
