A/N - Very sorry for taking so long to update this story, I had writers block, my computer went through some technical difficulties but is now up and running...for the meantime! I also started writing a Gakuen Alice fanfiction which will be uploaded shortly prior to this chapter so make sure to check it out! This chapter is mainly the letters Lucy gave out to Natsu, Levy and Mirajane.
Enjoy and remember to R&R!
Once again, thank you very much for all the follows, favourites and reviews, for all the support in general!

Re-cap
We turned to leave but i turned back and handed Master 3 letters, addressed to Natsu, Levy and Mira. I then handed him his own letter which included contact details. I hugged him one last time and walked out the door meeting Loke and Wendy. I smiled at them. 'Shall we go?' This time I took Wendy's hand as she continued to sniffle. We walked down the stairs onto the first floor, some looked at me with guilty eyes but a larger majority just glared at me. I exchanged glances with Levy for a brief second. It hurt that she as my best friend didn't do anything but I understood her. I left the guild and parted ways with Wendy and Charle. 'we'll meet you there okay Wendy?' She nodded as Charle flew her back to Fairy Hills.
Lucy's P.O.V
I smiled sadly as I walked through the doors of the guild for the last time, I felt somewhat at ease that I was finally able to do something that would help me move on but I was also nervous to be joining a new guild. I wondered if joining a new guild would be as easy as joining Fairy Tail.
'Hey Loke, what do you think the new guild will be like?' I asked whilst looking up at the sky.
'I don't know hime, we'll have to wait and see won't we? ...I also forgot to mention, since you're so intent on becoming stronger, Capricorn and I have agreed to train you' He replied.
I looked at him and smiled, for the first time in a long time I was happy. I pulled him into a hug.
'Thank you, thank you, thank you!' I giggled as we released each other. We decided to walk around Magnolia before leaving for good. We passed my favorite book store, magic store and the bridge I often visited over the course of the last 6 months. We stayed there for some time before heading towards the train station, when we finally got there Loke saw me off and I boarded the train and sat myself down in an empty carriage. I felt nostalgic as I boarded the train and nearly regretted my decision as the train left the station but I thought about the life ahead of me and smiled, scolding myself for being stupid. I began to feel tired as I thought about all the previous events.
'It sure has been a busy week hasn't it...' I said whilst yawning and stretching my arms out. I let my fatigue take over me and I fell asleep.
I woke up to a loud crashing noise and found that my suitcase had fallen to the ground. All my belongings were sprawled out all over the floor and I cursed. After 10 minutes I managed to successfully re-pack everything into my suitcase, I checked to see if there was anything missing and noticed my purse wasn't there. There was nothing on the floor except my suitcase and carry on bag so I got on my knees and looked under the seats. I prepared myself for dust bunnies and dirt but found that it was surprisingly clean! Also, to my luck I found it in the far corner, I reached under to pick it up when I noticed something. Carved into the wood was 'Natsu and Lucy's first official mission together! :) ' I grabbed my purse bumping my head as I hurried to get up. My heart thumped in my chest and I felt the tears pricking my eyes. I sighed and sat down staring out the window, doing everything i could to distract myself. Yet I still found myself thinking of the fire mage.
Wendy's P.O.V
'Hurry Wendy! We're going to be late! I told you we should've packed earlier!' Charle cried. I panted as I ran with my bags.
'I-I'm running as fast as I can! We can't miss the train!' I checked my watch for the time and scolded myself. 'Lucy nee-san must be there already!' We reached the train station with one minute to spare and I stopped in order to catch my breath. I looked up and saw a familiar face. Romeo. I could feel my heart speeding up in my chest as he walked towards me, but I composed myself and walked straight past him not bothering to look back as I didn't want to waste anymore time. I boarded the train and sat down patiently waiting for it to leave the station. Charle looked at me, her face filled with concern as a single tear rolled down my face.
'Baka Romeo, you should've come to me sooner.' I held Charle close to me for comfort as the train finally left.
Lucy's P.O.V
I finally got off the train at the last stop. Baslain villiage. I looked around and gasped. It was huge and on top of that beautiful, there was so much green yet it still had the unique beauty of a city.
'I didn't know Sabertooth was here! There are bath houses everywhere!' I said as i squealed in anticipation. I set off looking for Sabertooth only to realise Wendy was right, I saw it straight away, it was huge compared to Fairy Tail. It stood taller than all the buildings and seemed to be located in the centre of the villiage. So using the guild as my guide I set off towards it.
-At Fairy Tail-
Normal P.O.V
Makarov walked stormed out of his office and slammed the door angrily, he then climbed up onto the banister of the second floor. He was infuriated when he saw that everyone was laughing as if nothing had happened.
'SILENCE!' His voice echoed through the room and not a single person spoke. 'Today I lost 4 of my children. Lucy, Loke, Wendy and Charle left our family today. It was you that caused them to leave. All of you, so there is no point in pointing fingers at anyone! Why must I watch my children fight to the point that they are left broken and hurt?!' He clenched his fists and he was shouting again. 'You all should be ashamed of yourselves! I'm disgusted by your behavior towards your own nakama. Lucy gave me 3 letters addressed to Natsu, Levy and Mira. The three of you please come up and read your letters alone.' Everyone began to mutter and whisper to eachother as they turned to watch the people who's names were called out.
Natsu's P.O.V
I sighed. She's such an attention seeking little shit. Rolling my eyes, I walked up the stairs and took my letter out of Gramps' hands. I noticed that he was glaring at me but I turned away and shrugged it off. I opened the letter and read it.
Natsu,
For the past 6 months I watched Lisanna take you away from me. Well, I suppose you were never with me to begin with. It's bad, but sometimes I ponder upon what life would be like if she never came back...Would I be happy? At first I thought she had replaced me, but then I realised that I was the one who had replaced her. But, now she's back and nobody needs me anymore. You made my dreams come true the day I met you. You brought me to Fairy Tail and even though you're the one that's driven me out, I won't forget all the times you believed in me and stood by me no matter what. Even though you were obnoxious and loud, whenever I found you waiting for me it made me so happy. But now she's back and you stopped looking at me, visiting me, annoying me. I hope one day i'll be able to forgive you and make amends with you. You've hurt me in ways unimaginable Natsu, because of you, i'm broken. Goodbye Natsu. Lucy.I growled as I read her letter, where the hell does she get off thinking about her own selfish needs for attention all the time? I was about to rip the letter up but I got distracted by Happy as he flew over to me sobbing. I frowned at him with concern as he landed at my feet. I crouched down beside him.
'What's wrong Happy?' I asked him.
'L-Lucy...' He started to cry even harder so I patted his head and smiled at him.
'Don't worry Happy, she won't bother us anymore!' I grinned and walked down the stairs looking for Lisanna.
Lisanna's P.O.V
I sat patiently as i watched Natsu ascend the stairs while smirking. When he spotted me I grinned and ran towards him.
'Natsu!' I clung onto his arm and he gave me his signature grin. I pulled him over to our bench and sat on his lap. He watched me carefully as I fixed my hair in my compact mirror.
'Take a picture, it'll last longer baaakaa' I said, sticking out my tongue at him playfully. He pinched my cheeks in return and just as I was about to lean in to steal a kiss Mira cleared her throat. Everyone looked up at her standing on the second floor. I saw she had been crying and I frowned angrily.
'Why would you cry over that bitch Lucy' I thought to myself. She cleared her throat again.
'I-it seems the letter wasn't addressed to me but to the whole guild, so i'll just read it now.'
Fairy Tail Minna.
Thank you for being the family I never had, the family I needed. Joining Fairy Tail really was a dream come true for me, but my dreams were crushed. You all hurt me. Spread rumors about me. I couldn't stand it anymore so I left, along with Charle, Wendy and Loke. I am going to make it clear that I did not force them in any way shape or form to leave. It was a choice made from their own free will.
Even though you all treated me like shit I just want to say that I loved Fairy Tail and everyone in it. You were all my family and you made me extremely happy. When the guild was destroyed because of me you all stood by me and I am very grateful for the memories we shared together.
Thank you Fairy Tail.
Goodbye.
Lucy
I giggled and pecked Natsu on the lips before leaving the guild followed by Natsu. I smirked as I saw people break out in tears.
Normal P.O.V
Gajeel held Levy in his arms as she sobbed into his chest. After a while she managed to look up at him and he smiled at her weakly.
'You still need to read your letter Shrimp' he whispered. She nodded and opened the envelope carefully. She pulled out 2 pieces of pink paper and a photo of Lucy and Levy eating ice cream together whilst Natsu, Gajeel and Gray fight in the background. Levy smiled to herself sadly as she stared at the photo. She looked at the letters and thought to herself.
'Pink, Lu-chans favorite colour.'
She unfolded the paper and read it slowly and carefully.
Dear Levy-chan
You probably already know, but i've decided to leave Fairy Tail. For good. I can't handle it anymore. All the bitching, bullshit rumors and neglect i received from you guys really tore my heart apart. It was so so hard. You all forgot me as soon as Lisanna came back into the picture
At first it was okay you know? Everyone was catching up on the 3 years they missed without her. But 6 months Levy. For 6 months I was left in the dark! Do yo have any idea how hard it was for me to watch you guys continue your lives so easily without me?!
I'm not mad at you Levy. Just hurt. You're my best friend, you weren't there when you were supposed to be! I only have one question. Why? Why did everyone do that. Why did YOU do that to me?
You're the only one that knows about my feelings for Natsu so please don't tell anyone even though you hate me. And since I promised, you'll be the first to read my novel. If you still want to that is...It's in the first drawer of my desk. I hope after reading it you'll have a better understanding of my life and how I felt over these past 6 months. I still wish to keep in touch with you since i still consider you my best friend. But only you and no one else. If you want to write to me, Master has all my contact details, but please don't visit me without my consent.
Love from Lu-chan.
P.s I know Gajeel likes you so ask him out already! :P
Gajeel and Levy turned bright red as they read that last line. Levy looked away and smiled to herself but the tears still fell.
'I don't hate you Lu-chan...I'm so sorry. Thank you for keeping your promise even though I couldn't keep mine...'
