Chapter 8

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?

Life has mysteries heck it's a mystery itself. We tend to hate life sometimes but we also tend to love it. It brings us so much yet takes a lot from us. Life like humans has secrets. Some secrets we know and others we don't. A secret is something that isn't supposed to be known by other people. We all have secrets that we don't want to share that's what makes someone interesting or a mystery. All secrets are private and we should all respect that.

Secrets are almost like a way of us telling ourselves that no one has us figured out. It makes us feel like a mystery and that's sometimes good and bad. We all have secrets we just have to respect the each other enough not to want to know everything. You've got to take things at your own pace.

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

Sting and Lucy were making their way out of the café. It was now 12:30 and Erza's house was a 30 minute drive from the mall. They had a great time though Lucy still hadn't told Sting why she ran out, Sting didn't really care. He just really liked hanging out with her. She was not like other girls.

"I need to pick up Loke" Sting said "I was going to show him around a bit"

"Oh then we'll stop at your house first" Lucy suggested

Sting nodded and they got into her car. Sting really wished he had his own car one just like Lucy except a BMW and in red. He planned to talk to his granddad today; maybe they could negotiate something leading to a car.

They drove to Sting's house where Loke was waiting already up and really bored. When Lucy parked the car Sting walked up to his house and Loke stepped out already to go out somewhere.

Rouge, who lived next door saw Sting and got out of his house too. When Rouge saw Loke and Loke saw Rouge a glare war started. Rouge had heard stories of Loke from Sting and he for one didn't like him. Loke had been told that Rouge was Stings best friend and hated that Rouge took his place. Lucy was clueless to what was happening. She went over to stand by Sting.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked

"Childhood friend meets best friend" Sting told her

"You must be Rouge" Loke said with venom in his voice

"You must be Luke" Rouge said

"It's Loke" Loke told him "He's not very smart"

"At least I'm not a dumbass like you" Rouge commented

"So funny I forgot to laugh" Loke sarcastically said "Asshole"

Insults were thrown everywhere now. Lucy and Sting stood in the middle of it all. Sting sat down this was going to take a long time. Lucy sat down next to him. Neither blonde spoke to the other. Sting was racking his brain to find a way to fix this war and Lucy was staring at him.

So your childhood friend and your best friend are fighting. They both hate each other but they've never meet. Loke's an heir and Rouge's been there for you since you were 12. My only question is why did Loke leave your life when you were 11. You're a mystery. I mean everyone and FairyTail has a story. They've all grown up together or at least some of them have. They accepted me into their group just like that. They accepted you too. They don't care about my past and I don't care about theirs. So why do I care about yours? Maybe we've met before. I want to get to know you Sting. If you could just open up to me a bit I would love to get to know the real you. Good your hot, I wish I could kiss you right now….WHAT!

"Blondie" Sting said "Let's go or you'll be late"

"Oh yeah" Lucy said as she lost her train of thought. She looking at his two friends

Maybe you guys can tell me about him. Lucy thought

They all got into her car. Rouge at the front with her and Loke and Sting at the back. Sting made sure that happened. It took a while to get these two to stop fighting each other. Rouge was talking to Lucy at the front.

"So where did you two come from?" Rouge asked

"Oh" Lucy said not wanting him to know "He got drank at a bar and called me to pick him up. He spent the night at my house"

"Oh" Rouge said "Weird he has my on speed dial"

"He said he would have called you but didn't want to destroy your date" Lucy quickly said

That was great. She had just told his best friend that Sting was drank and spent the night at her house. What happens when Rouge brings it up with Sting?

At the back of the car, Loke and Sting are having their own conversation.

"So player" Loke said "Banged her yet?"

"Fuck no" Sting said "She's my friend I would never"

"Then I can bang her" Loke said licking his lips

"Stay away from her" Sting told him "What happened to I'm here to find love?"

"There two types of love" Loke told him "The couple love and the one night stand love"

"You are fucked up" Sting said

"I miss the old you" Loke said "The guy who was always there for me when a girl was being bitchy"

Sting said nothing. He missed Loke too but he couldn't always be there for him. He had to move here with his brother and grandfather and there was nothing he could do to stop it. It had been 6 years since they saw each other. Loke was spoiled enough to get a phone at the age of 10 so they kept in touch.

"Dude it's been like 7 years" Loke said "I miss my bro"

"6 years" Sting told him "6 fucking years and you're still horny"

"I started off when I was 6 then when I grew up I learnt about it" Loke told him

"I won't be surprised if you got a girl pregnant" Sting joked

"Don't even go there" Loke said

Sting faced him in shock. They were nearing the house and it was like everything had gone silent. To Sting everything was now in slow motion. He looked at Loke up and down before opening up his mouth.

"YOU FUCKED UP JACKASS" Sting yelled "HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT USE PROTECTION. YOU HORNY BASTARD. IT'S DAYs LIKE THIS WHEN I'M GALD I DON'T HAVE A SISTER"

Sting's face was still in shock and Loke took a picture. He was cracking up now. Laughing his ass off that Sting actually believed him about the whole girl pregnant thing. Loke was laughing but everyone else in the car who heard Sting's scream was in dead silence.

"I was joking" Loke told Sting "I'm still a virgin"

"Fuck you" Sting said as he got out of the car

"Fuck you too" Loke said joining him outside

"So um…" Lucy started off saying "We're 10 minutes late and Erza's going to kill us so when we walk in stand next to Jellal"

Lucy locked her car and got her guitar. She made her way to the garage and knocked. Mira happily opened it for them Lucy was right Erza was mad. Jellal was next to her holding her down when he saw them walk in. Natsu was there talking with Gajeel. Cana was already drinking and Lisanna was eating something. Laxus was helping Mira with something. Levy had made her way over to Rouge pretty fast.

As soon as Erza saw them she tried to go to them and give them a piece of her mind. She had a lot to give. She couldn't get away from her drums though Jellal was holding her down by the waist. They had been dating forever sure but she got embarrassed when he was showing PDA, so she quickly calmed down. Lucy said a quick thank you to Jellal before setting up her things.

Sting and Loke went to the snack table first. Lisanna and Cana were there too. The girls looked and Stings charming new friend up and down. Loke smiled at them and picked a chip. Sting said hi and got a coke.

Loke liked what he saw from the two girls. They were both beautiful and both with ok looking bodies. He turned to his childhood friend and wingman since he first laid eyes on a hot girl and gave him a knowing smile. Sting noticed and shock his head smiling.

Old habits do die hard. I guess it's time to help a bro out. Sting thought

"Brown hair" Sting whispered so only Loke could hear him "She's Cana, drinks a lot but doesn't get drank. No boyfriend or ex. Perverted."

"Nice" Loke said smiling and nodding in approval

"White hair" Sting continued "She's Lisanna sister oh my brothers girlfriend Mira and she's single. Has an ex-boyfriend. Super nice and sweet."

"Dated for how long?" Loke asked

"5 years" Sting told him

Loke shock his head. Lisanna girl is a no show. Mira girl's taken. Erza chick taken. Blue haired midget taken. Lucy, Sting's girl. Cana chick is the ONLY one left. Wow, not that much fish in the sea around here. Worth a shot though.

Loke turned away from Sting and made his way closer to the girls. He smiled and introduced himself. Lisanna went away not really interested about Loke seeing as she was still into Natsu.

"Hi I'm Loke" Loke said to Cana "You are beautiful"

"Thanks" Cana said "Name's Cana. You're not so bad yourself"

"I'll get straight to the point" Loke said "You're hot and I want to take you on a date"

"No thanks" Cana said "I've got better things to do"

With that she walked away. Loke was left there staring after her. He had no clue what just happened. He was running answers through his mind to figure out what went wrong. Loke wasn't used to rejection. Girls always wanted to date him. Every girl he knew he had either dated or liked him. Cana might have been the first girl who could ever reject him but maybe that was a good thing. Loke walked back to Sting still surprised about what had happened a few seconds ago.

"She rejected me man" Loke said

"Lucked out" were Sting's words of reason "Better luck next time"

Loke just walked away to head outside. He needed to clear his head. It wasn't really the first time he was rejected. The first girl to really reject him was Aries. She was stunning according to Loke. Aries was a neighbourhood girl where Sting lived. She owned a flower shop. Aries had strawberry pink hair and dark brown eyes. She's shy. Loke sighed. She might have been the only girl he ever loved but she rejected him so he had to move on, though the pain of her words were still and always in his heart.

*Flashback to 3 years ago*

Loke's 15 and his walking around town on his day off from being home schooled. He walked through town and passed the flower shop he always passes. He enters to see the girl he has been looking for every day. This time he was going to talk to her. He walked towards the counter and stood in front of her, giving one of his killer smiles.

"Hey" Loke said "I'm Loke"

"Hi" Aries said shyly "What flowers would you like?"

"You know it's impolite not to tell someone your name after they've told you theirs"

"S…orry" Aries said looking at the floor "I'm Aries"

"An angel for a beautiful elegant girl like yourself" Loke flirted "You have the coolest hair I've seen"

"Thank you" Aries said blushing

"I can't talk much longer" Loke said looking at the clock "But I would love to get to know you better we can become friends"

Aries didn't say a word to him. She was confused. Loke noticed and smiled more. She was so innocent he couldn't wait to go out with her.

"How about next week?" Loke suggested "It'll be like a date"

"Sorry but" Aries started off saying "I'm….afraid…I…c….an't….ac…cept"

Loke heard those words and his smiled disappeared. He walked out of the story head down and made his way back home.

*Flashback end*

Loke went back inside when he heard the music playing. He whipped the frown off his face and stood next to Sting and Rouge. Little did he know that Cana was watching him the whole time.

Sure his hot and cute but his not my type besides I already have Bacchus. I just meet him a week ago and things have kicked off. The only problem is his a bad influence and if anyone found out about us. I don't know what my friends might do to him or to me. Would they even care about me anymore? Cana thought as she took a sip of her vodka.

The band was playing great and everyone was loving the music. Sting was having a blast and his eyes were kept on one certain blonde. That blonde not surprisingly was looking back at him while she was singing. Ironically it was a love song….not surprising a curtain pink haired lunatic noticed the whole thing and….

Secrets are kept for reasons. The one who holds the secret has a reason. It's not like we all don't have something to hide. Believe we do but we don't have to tell someone just because they ask us. I don't know about you but a secret is something that is private to a few ear. Secrets are a mystery just like life. We don't ask questions about life's many weird mysteries so why ask a person about theirs. So what's the point of secrets?
