Chapter 11

Lies sure lead to mistrust. Lies are like the evil in you yet we can't stop them. It easy to lie than tell the truth. I know people say I'd rather be told the truth than be lied to but think about it when you say that remember that you too have lied once in your life to get out of the situation. So here's a question to sit on for a day or two: Is lying the worst thing in the world?

I've got one word for you, that means so much in this world that we sometimes take it for granted. We all go through life with people, with people that aren't family and those people we call our friends or our best friends and so on. It doesn't make a difference which one they are to you, they all have a friendship with you. Friends are always there for you no matter what and if someone fail to be a real friend then your relationship with them has no friendship.

Friendship is a strong thing even if we might not notice it. It's good to be independent and all but sometimes not all the time you need to rely on your friends and be sure to keep them close to you and not push them away. If you push them away or do anything to hurt them, be sure to make it up to them before you lose them forever.

Last time on Was it Fate or Destiny?:

"What do you want?" Came an angry voice

"I-I-I-I-I have n-n-no one t-t-o ta-lk to and I-I-I-I n-eed you" Lucy said stuttering

"What?" The voice

"I need you Sting" Lucy screamed "I know your mad at me right now but your all I have and I need you now. I'm at the beach at the hill where the big tree is. You don't hav-"

Lucy didn't get to finish her sentence it was too late. Sting had already hang up so she sat on the grass looking at the sunset crying.

Do I really have no one close to me? Lucy thought as the tears fell more than before

Lucy sat there crying not really knowing what to do. It was a good 10 minutes of feeling nothing but loneliness but she finally stood up and looked at the sun.

"Why me?" She said out loud

She was still crying but she was trying to stop. She felt terrible, today had started out so well and towards the end of it things were just blowing up in her face. It was like the world was against her or at least that's what she felt like.

What was he doing there? I can't believe him came! It's been what like 2 years. Why now? Just why? Lucy thought crying harder now giving up on stopping

Lucy felt like shit really. She had no one to rely on and she didn't feel like going home in case he was there. So she just stood there facing the now set sun as she cried into the night now. She turned away from the night and faced the tree in the middle of the hill still crying. That's when she saw him. She looked away.

Why is he here? She thought anger building up in her

Right now Lucy felt so mad at the world. Before she was crying but now she was just anger. She wasn't mad at the guy in front of her, no, she was mad at the world, she was mad at life.

It's really funny how sadness can change into anger after a while. Lucy thought and she face the person in front of her

"What are you doing here?" She asked raising her voice at him "I thought you hated me"

Lucy was scared to say those words afraid her voice might break because of the tears but it didn't. She knew she should be grateful that at least someone was here but she couldn't help it.

"You might sound anger but I know you've been crying" He said

Lucy whipped away her tears with her hand. They had finally stopped flowing down her face like a river. Now the only emotion she felt was anger.

"What's the point of crying anyway?" Lucy asked yelling

"It's a natural way of tell people your sad" He answered her

"I did but nobody came" Lucy told him feeling lonely again

"I came" He said again and step into the moon like so she could see his face

Lucy looked him straight in the eye, straight in to his sky blue eyes that were filled with worry. She should have felt happy; she should have felt relief and she should have felt cared for but what she shouldn't have felt was anger anymore.

"Just go away" Lucy screamed

"I know you don't want me too" Sting told her

"How do you know what I want?" Lucy yelled at him

Sting took a step forward and she took a step back. Sting sighed and ran his finger through his hair. He knew he should be the one yelling at her but she didn't know his story so there would be no point. It was her that was in need of someone and she called him. He was just glad his gramps had given him the keys to his new red BMW convertible. Sting looked at Lucy. She was red eyed from crying her hair was a mess and she was still wearing her school uniform.

"I don't know what you want" Sting told her calmly "but I know the only reason you would call me is when you needed to talk"

Lucy looked at him and she did remember why they exchanged phone numbers in the first place. She remembered his words: "If you don't want to talk about it now" Sting said "Text me, call me or email me anytime you want to talk".

"I don't need you" Lucy whispered looking at the ground

"Then why did you call?" Sting said

Since Lucy wasn't looking Sting took the chance to walk closer to her.

"I don't know" Lucy said tears staring again "You hang up on me though"

"I had to reach here fast" Sting explained

Excuses! Is what Lucy thought as she looked up at him tears falling like a rain on a stormy day.

"Baka!" Lucy screamed and tried pushing him away but Sting was faster and pulled her into a hug.

Lucy was shocked but she didn't give in just yet. Sting on the other hand just held her close until she would calm down. Lucky for him he was stronger and could stand his ground for longer.

"Baka, Baka, Baka, Baka" Lucy said each time getting louder as she tried to push Sting away from her

Lucy cried and cried and cried still yelling the same word over and over again. This time though she was getting quieter each time till she stop try to push Sting away and just cried in his arms. There was no need to fight anymore. So she stood there crying hands on her side and head deep into his shoulder.

"Baka Stingy" Lucy said once more

"Stubborn Blondie" Sting told her smiling

They stayed like that for a while until Sting felt like Lucy had stopped crying. He found that out when Lucy started to hug him back.

"Stingy" Lucy said quietly "Thanks for coming"

"What are friends for?" Sting told her

"I thought we weren't friends anymore" Lucy said

"I was just mad at you for a reason you wouldn't know" Sting told her

"Sorry for what I did" Lucy apologized

Sting let go now and looked at the blonde in front of him and smiled. She still looked like a mess but he was glad to have her as a friend now, there was no doubt about it. She smiled back at him but it wasn't a sad smile it was a happy smile, it was her famous smile.

"Enough about me" Sting said "Why are you so sad?"

"My dad came to visit" Lucy told him

"What's so bad about that?" Sting asked clueless

"Can we sit down for this?" Lucy asked

"Ok" Sting said not sensing the pain in her voice

They walked over to the tree and sat down. Lucy took in deep breathes. She felt fine telling her story to Sting it wasn't going to be that bad and Sting would be able to understand. She trusted him well enough.

"You see my mum died when I was small" Lucy begun "Rufus was going to a boarding school at that time so I had no one to comfort me the maids around the house were great but I really needed my family to be there for me since we were under such a great loss."

"Maids?" Sting asked

"My names Lucy Heartfilia" Lucy told him "Of the Heartfilia Mansion. My dad's Jude Heartfilia and my mum's Layla Heartfilia. My 21 year old brother is Rufus Lohar since he was adopted."

"So you're like Loke" Sting said "You're from a fucking rich family"

"Yea" Lucy said "Anyway. I need family to be there for me but my dad was too busy with work and he neglected me. He ignored me. I lived with him though, under his house following his rules but one day he called me into his office to talk. He wanted to talk about marrying me off and I was just 17. Rufus was already in my dad's businesses and he had a job so I ran here to live with him. I ran away from home. I had had enough with the whole not caring thing and I ran away."

Sting took in her story and understood why she couldn't bare seeing her dad now. He ignored her since she her mother past away and now he comes back all of a sudden after he tried marrying her off to some dude.

"Pretty tough huh" was all Sting had to say

"Yeah I guess" Lucy said looking up at the stairs "Gosh I feel like shit"

"You look like shit" Sting joked laughing a little

"Hey!" Lucy said punching him playfully on his arm "So what's your story?"

"For another day" Sting said turning back to a serious expression

"Oh come on" Lucy whined "Whatever"

They stayed in silence. Sting would tell her his story sooner or later he just didn't feel like telling her today. He trusted her sure but today wasn't the day. It was late and they had school tomorrow and besides it was about her not him.

"So let's get you home" Sting said

"No thanks" Lucy said

"You can't keep running away from your problems" Sting told her standing up

"Why not?" Lucy asked

"Because they'll follow you till you face them head on" Sting told her

"I'm not ready too" Lucy said

"I'll stay with you till you talk to him" Sting said "You know you love your dad deep down and he loves you too"

Lucy thought about it. Maybe deep, deep, deep down like the bottom of the ocean deep she really did love her dad. So when she looked at Sting outstretched hand to help her up she smiled and took it. She couldn't ask for a better friend.

You're really something aren't you Sting. I can see why Loke and Rogue enjoy your company. I enjoy it too. Lucy thought as they made their way to his car.

Lucy didn't ask where he got the car from. She liked it and all that was going through her mind was her dad and how she was going to talk to him. Sting drove towards her house neither of them saying a thing.

Sting's house. With Loke.

Loke heard the doorbell ring and he went to open it thinking it was Sting in case he left his keys behind since he was in such a rush to get out of the house because of one phone call. He walked to the door and opened it. He was greeted with a smile on the girls face.

"Loke" She said "Gosh I've missed you"

With those words a still tiered Loke to time to process who she was and didn't realized she was hugging him the only words that came out of his mouth was her name before the door closed.

"Aries!" Loke said as he hugged her back

Friendship is a great thing that we should keep close. I mean sure you entered this world alone and you're going to live it alone but as you walk on this earth you not going to be walking alone like same loner. Friends are important too. It's great to be independent that's what our parents teach us to be but friends are great to have too. Who else is going to understand you're weirdness?
