Chapter 15

Hope comes in different forms and we need hope for lots of things. Hopes a great thing to have and we shouldn't lose it. How important is hope to someone?

Have you ever done something and then felt guilty about it. I hate guilt it's not something I love to feel after I do something that felt worth it for a minute and then turns to guilt. Guilt's a great, it helps us know what's right and what's wrong. I hate feeling guilty we all do but sometimes we can't help it.

Guilt comes and it doesn't go unless you confess to your crime. Not confessing leads to guilt just eating you up and that's not the best feeling in the word. Guilt's strong and it won't go down without a fight. Guilt lives with you no matter what but some people are strong enough to treat it like family. I can't tell if they're lucky or brave.

Last time on Was it Fate or Destiny?:

What? Does he know I was lying? Can he see right through me? Those eyes that are just pouring into my soul. Those entrancing blue eyes that belong to the guy I love. Yes I love him I guess. I don't know why it took me so long to notice my feelings, I couldn't accept it at first but now in do and I'm afraid of how to act around him. This could ruin our relationship. Lucy thought

Lucy let a sigh of relief when Sting walked out of her house door. She was glad he didn't ask any questions about her dad and that he didn't see straight through her lie. She was however sad to see him leave but she couldn't take it anymore. The feeling of knowing she was being untruth worthy was killing her but she couldn't tell him the truth she didn't want to bother him anymore.

Lucy made her way to the kitchen for another cup of hot coco, she made more than usual just in case. She poured it in the cup she used before and went to watch some TV but the doorbell rang. Lucy flinched and put the cup down facing the door.

Please, whoever it might be, let it not be Sting. Just please not him, not now. I'm not ready. Lucy prayed and unwillingly went to the door

She took slow breathes before opening it. She was praying on her lucky stars that it wasn't him. She opened the door with a smile on her face and meet with Natsu smiling his toothy grin.

"Hey Luce" Natsu said "I saw Sting drop you home and I felt like checking up on you"

"Thanks' Natsu" Lucy said "I'm fine"

"So what's up with you and Sting?" Natsu asked stepping inside "I mean you guys are getting really close and I worry for you. He doesn't seem like the good guy you know."

"Sting's awesome and we're just close friends that's all" Lucy told him closing the door

At the sound of her own voice saying they were 'Close friends' Lucy's heart cried a little. She wanted so much more than just that but she couldn't have it.

"Why do you care?" Lucy asked curious

"I love you" Natsu told her "You're like a sister to me and I can't bear to see you get hurt"

"You're like a brother to me too Natsu" Lucy told him smiling "Besides Sting's not a bad guy"

"I know but don't you think it's odd that Laxus only introduced him to us last week after how many years" Natsu pointed out "I mean no one knew Laxus had a brother not even Mira"

Lucy thought about Natsu's words. They were true but that's doesn't really matter. It was true the only people who knew Sting were people from his past and all. Sting was a mystery too but so were Loke and Rogue. No one knew Loke's last name, not even Sting. Rogue didn't speak much or show that much emotion. The three of them were interesting and they were all connected.

"True" Lucy said "So are Loke and Rogue"

"I know but Sting's the one closer to you" Natsu said "Think I'm thinking too much?"

"It's normal for you to worry about your friends" Lucy told him "It's what we do best"

Natsu laughed at this and so did Lucy. They were best friends and they understood each other the most. Natsu was always there for Lucy and Lucy for Natsu.

Natsu was just glad he cleared things up about his feelings for Lucy so he could work on getting Lisanna back. His heart broke each time she ignored him and when they weren't together. He sighed sadly out loud and Lucy noticed.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked

"Just" Natsu started "I miss Lisanna"

"You guys broke up" Lucy told him

"I know but" Natsu said "You never realize you love something until it's gone"

"I know that feeling" Lucy agreed "So get her back"

"I'm not sure if she loves me still" Natsu told her

"She loved you for 5 years, I think she can love you forever" Lucy said

"You think?" Natsu asked smiling slightly

Lucy nods and the doorbell rings. She stands up to go answer it and its Levy and Rogue. Levy smiles and Rogue looks at the ground. Levy had clearly talked him into coming over but Rogue didn't want to come. Lucy welcomed them in and Natsu decided to go home and finish his homework.

"Lu-chan" Levy started off "How ya feeling?"

"Everyone keeps asking me that" Lucy said "Except one person"

Rogue looked up to see what or who she was talking about and she had a longing, loving look in her eye and she was smiling. He knew that look from anywhere. After all he always had that look when he was around his best friend excepting the loving bit, Rogue wasn't gay.

"Why're you both here?" Lucy asked

"It's about Sting" Levy said

"Everyone keeps asking me about him" Lucy said shaking her head

"He does that to people" Rogue suddenly said "Always leaving people wondering about him, caring about him and weirdly enough curious about him"

"Why does he do that?" Lucy asked

"It's just Sting" Rogue told her

"His a closed book, one of those guys who's a mystery" Levy said and Lucy nodded in agreement

Rogue looked at the two girls in front of him and couldn't help but fight the right to laugh out loud. He just found what they just said funny and completely wrong at least in his point of view.

Levy and Lucy noticed the emotionless teen laugh and were shocked. They were of course completely clueless. Levy was a bit anger that he wasn't going with the plan and trying to distract her from it.

"What's so funny?" Levy asked

"You couldn't be more wrong about Sting" Rogue said catching his breath

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked

"Sting's the most open book I've ever meet" Rogue told her

"That's cause you've known him forever" Lucy told him

"True and False" Rogue told her standing up "I know him to well and that's why I have to leave right now"

"Rogue what about telling Lu-chan about Sting" Levy asked

Rogue had a choice revel everything to Lucy about his best friend and Levy will forever be grateful but Sting will forever hate him. He loved Levy sure but if he betrayed Sting then he would feel guilty about the whole thing. He shook his head, he was over thinking the answer was clear, so he just walked out the door.

It's close to that time of month again. His can't deal with drama. Rogue thought and left

Levy was surprised but she understood. She shouldn't have made him do this in the first place, now she felt like a bad girlfriend. She looked at Lucy who was looking at her anger and she flinched. Lucy never got anger at anyone that easy and she had to have a good reason too.

"Levy!" Lucy yelled "You made Rogue do what?"

"Lu-chan, I was just trying to help you out with the whole Sting thing" Levy said "No one really knows him and I knew you wanted to know him more since you like him and they only way was through Rogue or Loke or Laxus and my connection was Rogue"

Lucy shook her head she couldn't believe Levy, of all people. Sting had a past maybe no one knew about it and only three people knew but maybe he wanted to keep it that way. Lucy sighed and took deep breathes. She felt guilty that everyone was so worried about her and Sting seemed to be the bad guy in all of this. She sighed and picked up her phone. She wasn't one to handle guilt well and she knew it was killing her knowing that she lied to him.

No, I can't let him worry about me anymore. If he keeps worrying, I'm going to stay in the friend zone forever and I don't really want that to happen. Lucy thought and she put her phone down Guilt will just have to live with me forever.

"I'm sorry Lu-chan" Levy said

"It's fine" Lucy told her "But let's plan together, how I can get Sting"

Levy smiled at this and they started planning. Both very experienced and knew all the best tricks after all they learnt from the best teacher, BOOKS.

A/N: Not my best chapter and I apologize for that. Next chapter will be long (I hope) and more interesting (I pray). Sorry for mistakes, it's not beta read and I don't have a beta reader so yea. I feel like this chapter really sucks. *Sigh*
