So as you've all noticed that this story has no chapter titles, reason being because I felt that it would be better for the story. But if I were to give this chapter a title I would name this one "Fix You".
Also I have officially decided whether or not I will rate this M or not. But I wouldn't post that decision until my next post.
KhaalidaNyx: I'm glad you think so!
H8rslovemecauseI'mawesome: Thank you! I really thought it added effect to the scene.
Kyto Touche: No, Gray was not crying...sorry.
leoslady4ever: A lot of people want them to be together, and to be honest, I am slightly undecided. But I am not making any promises. Also I wish I could have hugged him as well.
Guest: I am so glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that as well! He seriously shouldn't have given up.
ninjapanda16: I'm sorry, but fair warning expect more cliffhangers to come.
Guest2: I'm sorry for no Lyvia yet...it should come along later. It will take sometime, alright? I'm sorry though.
Guest3: Awww I never meant to make someone to cry. No worries things will get better, ok?
lizzysakura21: I know it's sad, but it'll get better.
OoooO
Gray's POV
I stared down at my phone for the longest time. My eyes boring into it, I lifted it ready to call Lucy. I really need to talk to someone after all this shit that happened.
My head rose as the sound of knocking entered my ears. I turned slightly to see the door, with a sigh, I pushed myself up. My feet shuffled slowly to the door, not even bothering to take a glance at who was there, I opened it. To me surprise there stood the very blonde who I was going to call.
"Luce?" My voice cracked slightly as my eyes grew wide.
She shyly looked up at me, slight relief came over her features. "Hey there," she waved quietly a half smile lingering on her pale pink lips.
"What brings you here?" I pondered as I stepped aside to let her in. My overwhelming emotions didn't let her speak though, I quickly shut the door and stepped in front of her. "Good thing you came, I actually wanted to talk to you about something."
She glanced up at me for a moment, but her look didn't say "Shoot", it said something else. She then dropped her backpack beside the couch and let out a deep sigh, "I was wondering if Lyon's home."
My body stiffened at her words. Why would she want to know? I calmed my nerves down and let myself breathe, "Yea, why?" I knew it came out as if I didn't give two shits, but how could it not? Lucy is my best friend, what does she want Lyon for?
Lucy shifted awkwardly, she was chewing on her bottom lip now. Not a good sign. "I actually came here to see him." Her eyes finally gazed up to meet mine.
I was stunned. I blinked several times as her words sunk in. "Oh," I mumbled in sheer disappointment, "He's upstairs in our room." I turned away and jumped onto the couch. "I understand." My voice became monotone. It was completely dead.
I heard her feet climbing up the stairs. I felt a slight hint of betrayal swirl within me. I ignored it though. Finally, once I knew for a fact she was up at the top, I turned around to the staircase.

Lucy's POV
I gently knocked on the door, my hand trembling as my knuckles carefully came in contact with the door. I gulped as I awaited for an answer.
"Go away, Gray!" A coarse yell came out.
I sighed, but reapted the action.
"I said go! I don't want to talk right now!" Another shout came from the other side.
I knocked again.
The door flew open as he stared at me with anger. "Gray! I don't want to be around you at the-" His words were cut short once he realized whom was before him. "Lucy..." he breathed.
"Lyon," my voice whispered as I looked into his bloodshot eyes. My lip trembled as I tried to form words.
"Wha-what are you doing here?" His eyes widened.
I figited for a moment, my fingers tangled in each other. I suck in a breath and mumbled, "We need to talk."
To say he was shocked was an understatement. His whole body tensed and his eyes widened even more. His mouth hung open, he blinked once, then they went wide again.
I took matters into my own hands. I shoved myself in and quickly shut and locked the door. My body shifted in order to look at Lyon. My breathing heavy and unsteady; shit, not now, anything but this. I quickly calmed myself down, shutting my eyes and pressing my palms against my temples.
"Lucy, I do not want to talk to you."
My head lifted up to see Lyon. His eyes were now narrowed, arms now crossed. I stared into his eyes, "But I really need to-"
"Listen. I have no interest in talking to you, so be reasonable and take your leave." He stated coldly.
My heart dropped. All my pride had dried up and all my gusto disappeared.
"I have no intent in hearing what you have to say, I already know ypu don't actually care."
A sudden rush of sheer pain and fury hit me.
I shut my eyes as anger rose within me. Taking in a deep breath, I slowly opened my eyes. My temper flared, my foot collided with his face sending him into a wall. Shock quickly etching into his facial features.
"Lyon! Stop being selfish! Listen to what someone else has to say, you might actually learn something about someone!"
My body shook and trembled as my hands balled into fists. I felt hot tears trickle down my flushed cheeks. Multiple emotions climbed to peaking heights as I screamed at the silver haired Fullbuster.
I felt my breathing grow unsteady again, I closed my eyes in order to help control it. My eyes opened, soon gazing over at Lyon. He still looked too stunned to speak.
My voice became soft as I lowered myself to his level. "Lyon," I barely said above a whisper, "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to scream like that or kick you." Guilt stung at me, it pinched at my skin. "I just want you to listen."
His head hung down shielding his face from me. I sighed, "Lyon..."

Lyon's POV
I can't look at her, I just can't. The way she spoke, how soft her voice was, I could tell she was sincere. That she was genuine.
I felt like an idiot. All my anger and rage had boiled, it spewed and oozed out. Swirling around only to burn and singe someone did not need to feel any pain.
Suddenly, her forehead was pressed against mine. "I know it hurts...I can tell you feel alone..." she whispered. I gently glanced up only to be struck with tears landing upon my face. "I know how much it aches inside...I get it..."
Her eyes now shut tightly to suppress the non-stop tears flowing. A hiccup escaped her mouth as she stumbled to speak, "But you don't have to feel so alone. There will always be someone there...someone to give you a hand. Let me help you, let me give you a hand..."
My mouth opened to speak, but no words fled. A couple more tears fell from her eyes. Hot tears of my own flowed down as a hoarse cry left my dry throat. I whispered, "How would you understand such a thing?"
Her eyes stared into mine just as her hands wiped away her stray tears. "Because I know how it feels to be broken."
As my eyes locked with hers, I saw the truth. I saw it all. Water resurfaced into my eyes, I cringed at my stupidity. I had caused her pain, I inflicted wounds upon her without realizing it.
She did not befriend me for Gray, no, she did it because she wanted to. She just wanted to know me. That's all...
Her soft hands cupped my face, her thumbs wiped away the tears that dared drip down from my eyes. I allowed a few choked sobs emit from my throat. A soft and humble smile curved onto her lips.
"Since you're having a hard time fixing yourself, at least let me try a fix you as best as I can." Her forehead pressed against mine once again. "Please...?"
Her soft fingers still lingering upon my cheeks, my body trembled as I gave a small nod.

As it all came in such a sudden rush, a blossoming promise will soon be poisoned and tainted by blind passions. When four hearts crash into the thorns, blood shall be spilled like a never ending rain. Wild tempers, unknown reasons, and shattered emotions power the empty shells that once was filled with souls.
OoooO
