Chapter 2: Natsu goes buzurk
I sighed (for like the 50th time today) as i sat down on my bed, pulling my knees up to my chest and burying my face in them.
"You should have never got your hopes up Lucy. Natsu would never feel that way. He only thinks of you as his partner and best friend, nothing more nothing less. All though, he is a major baka if he didn't see all the signs i was 'accidentally' putting out. I mean if Gray got it, shouldn't have Natsu? Or is he that stupid." I said to myself, burying my face deeper. A small tear escaped from my eye but I quickly wiped it away, getting up from my ball position on the bed.
"No i will not cry, i will not cry." I said to myself as i walked over to my dresser to get a pink set of underwear and a pink nightgown to go along with it. Then i strutted off to the bathroom to take a relaxing shower and then head to bed.
The next morning, i woke up and did my usual routine. Except today i wanted to make my self look better, at least to catch Natsu's attention. So i put on a light blue V-Neck T-Shirt, showing cleavage, and then some jean shorts. Then i walked to the bathroom and put my hair in a high ponytail, putting a light blue bow to finish it off. I looked at myself in the body length mirror and smiled. Then put my shoes on and walked out the door, locking it behind me, and heading off to Fairy Tail. When i arrived i threw the Fairy Tail door opened (like always) and of course received looks from the regular everyday wizards. As i walked over to the bar were Mira-Chan was waiting, i returned hellos to the people with manners and glares to the people who tried to touch me. When i was finally at the bar Mira-Chan gave me a look of worry. I raised my eyebrows and said, "If its about last night Mira-Chan, Then im fine...okay a little fine but hey, not like Natsu knows that kind of feeling." But as i said 'Natsu' Her worried expression became even more worried.
"Mira-Chan, is everything alright?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Its Natsu Lucy-Chan, ever since last night he..i don't know he changed."
"Changed...how?" I asked leaning in closer to hear her properly.
She shook her head.
"You'll see, he'll be here in a couple of min-"
And that's when the doors of Fairy Tail almost flew off there hinges. I looked back, startled, until i saw Natsu. No re-phrase that, a beaten down, Natsu. And it looked as if he was fighting something in him.
"See." Mira-Chan said. I ignored her and Natsus eyes locked with mines, making him walk, or more like fast walk towards me.
"U-Uh Natsu, Whats wrong are you okay? It looks like you haven't slept for days, is everything alright?" I asked when he was in hearing range. But he didn't answer, he just kept staring at me intently as he walked closer. Finally his eyes tore away from me and he sat down on the bar next to me.
"The...usual please...Mira" Natsu said, breathing heavily in between sentences. He set his head on his arms, and it still looked like he was battling himself. Mira-Chan nodded, hurrying to get Natsus order.
I looked over at Natsu with a look of pure worry sprawled all over my face.
"Natsu, are you okay? Whats bothering you?" I asked, but he just ignored me. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Natsu...-" He growled and shook my arm off roughly.
"Don't touch me." He Growled. My eyes widened in complete and utter shock.
"N-Natsu! What has gotten into you! She was just trying to help, the poor girl cares for you Natsu! Now apologize!" Mira-Chan said, slamming what Natsu ordered in front of him. He growled more loudly again, causing worried and shocked looks our way. He sat up, glaring at me then Mira-Chan who flinched. Then he started to walk away. I put my hand out to grab onto his wrist when he grabbed onto mine, turning around to glare at me some more. My wrist began to burn painfully as fire surrounded Our hands.
"O-OW N-NATSU STOP! S-STOP ITS HURTING N-NATSU! IT BURNS NATSU STOP!" I yelled trying to desperately pull his hand away from mine. Tears spilled out of my eyes as i thought 'Why? Why is he doing this!'
"NATSU THAT'S ENOUGH STOP!" Mira-Chan yelled, running around the counter to help me.
"NATSU STOP IT!" Some Mages yelled, getting up were they were to also come and help me. But It was as if Natsu hadn't heard them, he just kept glaring at me with a deadly look in his eyes. My wrist Burned more and more and i finally screamed out in agony, Making people gasp in horror and shock. And that's when gray entered Fairy Tail.
3rd person P.O.V
Gray busted through Fairy Tail doors, ready to make an entrance, when everybody was huddled around the bar. Doing something frantically. And then he heard the sobs. Gray ran over to the group and pushed people out of the way to see what was wrong. He almost fell back in shock when he saw Natsu Glaring at Lucy with his hand around her wrist tightly. Fire wrapped around there hands. Lucy was sobbing uncontrollably and Was desperately trying to pull Natsu's hand away. Then she screamed in utter pain, making shiver go down Grays back. And that's when he jumped and pulled Natsu away from Lucy, making Natsus grip loosen enough for Lucy to pull away. But Natsu wasn't done yet. He slapped Lucy hard across the face with the hand that was still on fire. Lucy fell back and screamed in pain again. Then Natsu grabbed her foot, making that too burn like hell. Gray couldn't take it anymore and punched Natsu in the head as hard as he could, making something snap in him and go unconscious.
Lucy's P.O.V
I staggered back into a wall, Tears streaming down my face like no tomorrow. My wrist felt like i dipped it a volcano, my cheek burned so bad, and my leg...my whole leg felt like it was also dipped in a volcano. I was in massive pain. 'What happened! what happened to Natsu! H-He could of killed me if it wasn't for Gray.' At that thought i sobbed out loudly. My sob was mixed with pain, hurt, and loss. Mira-Chan immediately Ran over to me. Tears spilled out of her eyes at what she saw. I looked at my injured body parts and gasped. My whole right leg was burnt really badly. Along with my left wrist which had skin already peeling. I looked to the mirror next to me and more tears streamed down my face. My right cheek had a large bruise already forming and it too, was burnt. I let out a loud sob again and leaned onto Mira-Chan, who quickly hugged me back. Soon Gray, And Master Makrov Were next to me. Wendy tried to bandage my arm and leg but i didn't let her, for i knew that it would hurt more then it already did. She nodded but suggested that i put a wet rag on them. I was still clinging to Mira-Chan when Gray went to touch my shoulder. I flinched, memories of what just happened seconds ago flooding back as if it was a movie. But once i noticed it was him, i pulled away from Mira-Chan and clung to him. Crying more louder this time. He rubbed the my hair, trying to sooth me. After hours, people had already left, leaving me, Gray, Natsu (who was tied to a chair) and Gajeel. Gray was the first to break the devastating silence.
"You loved him...didn't you Lucy." He was more like a statement then a question but i still answered him.
"Yeah...yeah i loved him with all my heart. But..But Gray he...He broke my...HE BROKE MY HEART GRAY! IT HURTS! MY HEART IT HURTS!" I yelled as i buried my face in his neck to control my sobs.
"I know Lucy...I know" He another hour, i was fast asleep.
