A/N: Hey! So here is chapter 4... Enjoy! (Modern day AU)
Day Four: Smoke
Lucy P.O.V.
Ever since I broke up with Natsu I've been really depressed. Two months ago I broke up with him because I saw him making out with Lisanna at a party we went to. I seriously can't believe him. When we first started dating he promised me he would never leave me.
Flashback Two Years Ago
(Still Lucy P.O.V)
I woke up and Natsu wasn't in my room... or my bed. Huh, that's weird. Whatever. So I got out of my bed and took a bath. After the bath I opened the window and realized it was so hot. Well I guess it would be, I mean it is summer right now in Magnolia. So I put on my uniform for the bar/café that I work at called Fairy Tail. I walked in and Mira was behind the bar (as usual.)
"Hello Lucy, and good afternoon!" Mira said in a cheery tone. Hmmm... I wonder why she is so happy today.
"Hello to you as well Mira. Is Natsu here yet?" I asked her.
"No... He said he wasn't coming in today." Oh, that's disappointing. "Okay... Thanks Mirajane." I said in a sad tone. Anyway the work day went on and finally it was closing time. It was really boring without Natsu here. Plus, all of these drunk creepy old men would hit on me. Natsu would usually knock them out, so I had to fend for myself.
As I was about to leave, Natsu walked in with a huge smile on his face. Uh oh... What is he planning?
"Hiya, Luce!" He said.
"Umm... Hey Natsu. Where have you been... I was a little worried." I mumbled, but of course he heard me.
"Don't worry about me Luce! Listen I've been thinking a lot lately and I need to tell you something." I looked at him and asked, "Well what is it?"
"Well, I know we have been friends for a long time but I feel something more. I love you, like a lot and I was wondering if you would be my girlfriend...?" I was so happy! I loved him too and I've secretly been waiting for this moment.
"Yes Natsu! I love you too!" He ran and hugged me. "I promise I will never leave you or betray you."
"I know Natsu... I promise too." He then bent down and kissed me. And let me tell you, it was magical!
Flashback Ends
Lucy P.O.V.
Ugh! He is such a big fat liar! Anyway, all I do now is just sit in my room all day. Natsu tried to text and call me... I didn't answer. He never tried to come to my house though, I was secretly hoping he would. But Mira told me that he said he didn't want to hurt me anymore. I quit my job at Fairy Tail because I didn't want to see anyone.
I heard my phone, so I rolled over and answered it.
"Hello?" Who even is this?
"Lu-chan! Where have you been! I miss you!" Oh, it's just Levy.
"Sorry Levy... I've been busy." I lied. "Really? Lu-chan... I'm not stupid. Look listen me, Cana, Mira, Juvia, Erza, Bisca, and Evergreen are all going to Mage tonight and we want you to come." I haven't gone out with any of them in a long time. Should I go?
"Uh.. Levy-chan I don't know..." I heard her sigh from the other end.
"Please Lu-chan, we all really miss you and we are all worried about you. Just come out this one time and I'll never ask again." Why is she so persuasive?!
"Okay fine, I'll go."
"Yay! Okay see you soon, bye Lu-chan!" I said a quick goodbye and got up to get ready when my doorbell rang. I opened the door and all of the girls were already here.
"Guys, I'm not even dressed!" They just laughed and walked in. "Well we are here to help you." Erza said.
"Ugh... Fine!" So they dragged me to my room and went through my closet. "Lu-chan, how about this one?" Levy said as she pulled out this short tight red dress with long sleeves and lace. In the front it's open a little and reveals some cleavage.
"Levy! Are you kidding? I'm not wearing that..." Is she crazy? Does she want me to get hit on?
"Why not Lucy? I think you'll look super hot." Cana said. "Yeah Lucy, just put it on!" Mira said.
"Fine!" So I took the dress and went in the bathroom. I'm surprised it still fits. I looked in the mirror before I left and I have to admit, I do look kinda hot. When I walked out all of the girls screamed.
"Lucy! You look so pretty!" Levy said. "Yeah you look totally hot." Cana said, of course.
"You look very beautiful." Both Mira and Erza said.
"Juvia thinks Lucy looks very pretty as well." I felt so happy that I didn't feel ugly for once.
"Thanks guys!" So after that I went in the bathroom and curled my hair. I did a black smokey eye look and put on red lipstick. I went to my closet and put on black Mary Jane's with a little black bow that was on the clasp.
"Everyone ready?" They all nodded. They were already dressed before they came... pretty sneaky. So we took my Gold Lamborghini Veneno. Yes, it's a lot of money. My uncle took over my dad's business after he died and now he is super rich, so for my 21st birthday he bought me one. I absolutely love it. I've been living with him for a while because after the break-up, I wasn't taking care of myself and he was worried. The only reason i worked at Fairy Tail was because I wanted to have a normal life after my dad died. But I guess I just wasn't cut out to be "normal."
We pulled up and people were already staring at my car. The valet took my car and the girls and I walked to the front of the line. My uncle, James Heartfilia, is only 10 years older than I am so he goes to this club often. Before I left he told me that my name is already on the list.
"Whoa, wait a minute... name?" The bouncer said. "Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia." He just looked at me and my friends, and then the list.
"Oh, I'm sorry... go right ahead ladies." The bouncer said.
"Thanks!" We all said. I honestly hated the way all of these perverted men stared at me. It made me feel like I was an object, not a person. If Natsu was here the-
"HELLO? LU-CHAN... YOU IN THERE?!" Levy yelled at me because it was so loud in here. Thank god she did because I was starting to think about him again.
"Yeah, sorry Levy-chan." I laughed. We went to the bar and got some drinks. We then sat down in the VIP area. Most of the girls came from wealthy families and they worked at Fairy Tail to feel "normal" as well. After about an hour of dancing, I wanted to go home. I'm not ready to hang out with anyone right now.
"Hey guys, I'll be right back." I said to the girls. "Yeah sure!" They all replied. Ever since the break-up I started smoking. It's honestly become a really bad habit. So I went outside to smoke, but I realized that because the girls rushed me I didn't have my cigarettes. Damn. I really needed them!
"Need a smoke?" Someone asked me. I couldn't see their face but their voice sounded really familiar.
"Yes, please!" I honestly have a really bad problem.
"Here you go, you know... smoking isn't good for you." Yeah, yeah. I already know that.
"Yeah, well then why are you smoking?" I asked smugly.
"Ever since my girlfriend broke up with me, I've developed a really bad habit. It takes away a lot of the stress I have and the guilt over the break-up. So why do you smoke?" His story is just too familiar to mine.
"Well, it started when I broke up with my boyfriend. I couldn't handle the pain so I started smoking. It takes away the stress as well and maybe some of the guilt. When I smoke it takes away the loneliness that I feel every day. I've just been sitting in my house all alone until tonight when all of my friends dragged me out." I can't believe I felt so comfortable telling him that.
"Wow." Yeah, I'm such a fuck-up.
"I honestly want to just get out of here. I don't really like people anymore." I felt my phone buzz. It was a text from Levy.
Levy: Hey Lu-chan, it turns out the guys were here so we are going to go out with them because I know you want to go home. I'm sorry for dragging you out. But I'll text you later kay?
Me: Yeah sure, I did have fun with you guys though... and thanks :)
"You wanna get out of here? Maybe get some coffee? My friends are leaving with these girls we know and I honestly don't want to be here anymore." He sounded said.
"Yeah sure let's go." Since it was 2 am it was really dark and I still couldn't see his face. I called my uncle first to tell him to come get my car for me because we were going to walk to the coffee shop. When we got to the coffee shop, I thought I was going to cry. He brought me to Fairy Tail. I haven't even been here in so long! Wait... isn't it closed? He has a key, maybe he is a new person who works here.
"You coming, or what?" He said. Why does he sound so familiar?
"Yeah sorry." I laughed awkwardly. He walked in and turned on the light. We looked at each other in shock.
"N-Natsu...?" No way!
"L-Lucy...?" I thought I was going to cry. But instead I ran up to him and hugged him. I don't care if I'm supposed to be mad... I missed him. I started crying in his arms.
"Lucy, what are you doing?" Natsu said confused. I pulled away from him and looked him straight in the eye.
"I'm sorry... I should've answered your messages and not been so stupid! These past two months have been the worst without you around. What I sad at the club was true and it was about you." I said while crying a little.
"No Lucy it's my fault not yours. When we were at the party that day, Lisanna confessed to me but she didn't know we were together. When you walked in was when she forced herself upon me. I felt horrible because I let it happen. I don't like her and I never have. The only person I've ever loved, and still loves a whole lot is you. I should've never let you go. I was afraid of what you would think if me. I was afraid that you moved on." I couldn't speak. I felt so horrible.
"Y-You still l-love m-me?" I sad while stuttering. Stupid stuttering!
"Yes, always have, always will." He said with a smile. I just laughed and I kissed him. It was a quick kiss because I wanted to tell him something.
"I love you too, always have, and always will." I said with a smirk.
"Luce... I missed you so much." He said. He then pulled me into a hug.
"I missed you too, Natsu." He pulled away. He looked conflicted. "What's wrong, Natsu?"
"Ahh... still can read me like an open book. That night after the party I was going to ask you something. I know you told me you weren't going to drink and neither was I so I was going to bring you to the park and... ask you to marry me." I looked at him. He looked so sad and now I was too.
"Y-You w-were...?"
"Well... yeah... I love you with all of my heart and I don't want to be with anyone else but you for the rest of my life." He said full of confidence.
"Yes." I said.
"What?" Natsu said.
"I will marry you. I only want to be with you and only you for the rest of my life as well. I love you so much I can't even put it into words, Natsu Dragneel." He looked extremely shocked. He then got down on one knee and pulled out a box from his pocket.
"Lucy Heartfilia, will you marry me?" He opened the box and to say the ring was beautiful would be an understatement. It was drop-dead gorgeous. It was black banded with two dragon heads on each side of the ruby and in the center was a ruby. On the inside our names were engraved.
"Wow... it's so beautiful. Yes, Natsu I will marry you." He slid the ring on my finger. It was so beautiful. "Thank you Natsu, I love you so much."
"No problem Luce! Let's go home." Natsu said.
"Sure! Wait... home?" I asked confusingly.
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you that I got a new job a while back and I live in a really nice house now, but it's too big for one person... so maybe you would li-"
"YES! Ah ha... sorry I've just been living with my uncle and I kinda don't like the rich life anymore." He just smiled.
"No problem Luce, I'm glad you said yes again." He laughed.
"Let's go get my stuff and get settled... kay?" I said.
"Sure thing Luce. Man, I missed calling you that!" I laughed.
"So how are we going to get to my uncle's house? My car is at home now. You do have yours right?" He just laughed nervously.
"I actually got a ride from Gray… and he left the club a while ago." I gave him a glare.
"Ugh… now I have to call my uncle." I said while pulling out my phone. "Yes, hello is James Heartfilia there? Yes this is his niece, Lucy. Hello uncle can you come pick my fiancée and I up from Fairy Tail? Uh huh, yeah thanks." He didn't even seem worried about the fiancée thing. Weird.
"So what are we doing?" Natsu asked.
"My uncle's butler is going to bring a car to pick us up then I'll go home and pack my things into my car and then go to your house… kay?" He just nodded. The car came right after that so we left.
Time Skip: One Year Later
Lucy P.O.V.
I looked at myself in the mirror and I was in shock. I had on a white strapless dress and a long train with big ruffles in the back. On the side there was a white bow and my veil was connected to a headband and it had three blue flowers on each side. My bouquet also had blue and white roses with a blue bow at the bottom keeping them all connected.
"Lucy, it's time." Erza said.
"Thanks, Erza." Since I don't have a father to walk me down the aisle, I asked Gray to walk me. He was my second friend I made when I moved to Magnolia. So when I walked out of the room and Gray saw me he smiled.
"You look nice." Gray said.
"Thanks." I said.
"You ready?" Gray said.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I said. He hooked our arms together and I heard the music start. The doors opened and everyone stood up. Gray and I started to walk down the aisle to Natsu. He looked very handsome. His suit was gray on the inside and had a white jacket with gray pants. He had his scarf that Igneel gave him on top of all of that.
We finally made it up to Natsu and Gray kissed my hand before he sat down next to Juvia.
"Wow, Luce you look... stunning." He said while blushing.
"Thanks, Natsu you look very handsome as well." The priest then started the ceremony and we both said our vows. Natsu put a black band with a dragon on it while I did the same because we had a matching set.
"Do you, Natsu Dragneel take Lucy Heartfilia to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do." Natsu said. And the priest asked me as well.
"I do." I said. We then kissed and everyone cheered. We pulled away and walked back down the aisle and back to the rooms to change. Natsu looked at me when we were in the room.
"This is the happiest day of my life. I love you so much Lucy Dragneel." Natsu said.
"I love you too, Natsu Dragneel." I said while smiling. We then got changed and walked down the stairs and into the room where the reception was.
And to think this all started with a smoke.
