Hey guys we're back! Just so you know the story is a tragedy. Thats we we categorized it as such. Thanks for reading enjoy!

I took a step backwards, "I-"

My dad cocked his head, "Yeah?"

"H-He's nobody!" I stuttered.

My dad tipped his head back and laughed raucously, "Yeah right. You love him, don't you?"

I shook my head vigorously, "No! I-"

"Well, I sure as hell bet he doesn't love you back. Probably sees you as just an annoying freak of nature like everyone else in this goddamned world. 'Cause that's what you are. You're a goddamned slutty bitch!"

Normally I would have let him yell, but I was feeling unusually confident. A surge of rebellious anger swelled up inside me.

"Stop yelling! Stop yelling at me!" I screamed, "I am not worthless!"

As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted it. My surge of anger dissipated, leaving only fear and regret. My dad's face twisted into an angry expression.

"What did you say?" He roared, "DID YOU JUST TALK BACK TO ME?"

I stepped backwards, afraid, shaking my head, "N-No… I-"

He walked towards me, "DID THAT FUCKING NATSU KID TEACH YOU TO DO THAT? WAS HE THE LIAR THAT SAID YOU WERE WORTH SOMETHING?"

Tears were starting to leak out of my eyes, "Please, I-"

"THAT IS IT!" He screamed, grabbing a glass vase and chucking it across the room, "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! ALL YOU ARE IS A GODDAMNED WASTE OF SPACE! EITHER YOU GO UP TO OUR CEILING AND HURL YOURSELF OFF, OR YOUR PRECIOUS NATSU WILL GO FLYING OFF IT INSTEAD!"

A weight settled in my stomach at those words. Tears were coming faster and harder. I wished with all my heart that I had never talked back to him.

"You wouldn't," I whispered, all strength gone from my soul.

He laughed a dry chuckle, "Just watch me."

He turned to leave, "I'm going to the bar. You have until I'm back to pitch yourself off that roof."

He turned to give me a sinister look, "Or else."

A couple hours later, I found myself crouched on the edge of our roof, looking down below at the hard asphalt. A couple days ago, I would have had no hesitation. I would have thrown myself off this roof without a second thought. But now, I had Natsu, and maybe after a while, I could have Natsu's other friends. And it was this glimmer of hope that kept me from tumbling off this roof. Then I thought of what would happen if I didn't. If I chose to be selfish, it would be Natsu's body splattered on the asphalt. I would never do that to him.

I closed my eyes, sighing. I stood up squeezing my fists into tight balls of anger. "A few seconds and it will all be over, a few seconds and you won't feel a thing." I took a long breath to calm myself. I tried to step off, but I just couldn't make myself do it. I stopped to think about all the reasons why i should go through with this. All the reasons why this should be my fate. "Reasons why I should jump are if I don't he'll kill Natsu, and if I don't die now, he'll probably kill me some other way. At least this is quick." I continued to go through all the reasons why throwing myself off of a building was a good idea. I knew that no one would ever love me, so what was the point. I took another deep breath, trying to think of reasons to live. "Natsu…. Natsu Natsu Natsu…" I couldn't stop saying it in my head over and over again. "Natsu….. If I jump, he lives… if I live, he falls… only one thing to do now…" I closed my eyes and moved closer to the edge. I felt warm tears sting my eyes and cheeks. "Natsu…" I took one step closer allowing myself to look down at the hard cement that would bring me my fate. "Natsu…" I took a breath… "Goodbye Natsu…" My tears came faster. I began to lean off the edge...

(NATSU'S POV)

I walked out of the jewelry store with the necklace in hand. I knew Lucy would love it. She was sentimental. Even though she acted shy, I could tell it wasn't her fault. When she cried the night I got mad at her, it crushed me inside. I knew that I had to make sure nothing like that ever happened again. For her, for my Luce. I sighed. She probably didn't feel the same about me. I was getting my hopes up.

As I was walking to her house, I whistled thought of what I was going to say, and how I was going to say it. One odd thing I will say is that a car drove by, and I waved merrily at the man inside. It seemed as if he cussed under his breath as he passed, but I knew it was nothing. I turned the corner that lead to her street. I was coming up to her house when I saw a sight that made me stop in my tracks, the whistle dying in my throat. I immediately broke into a run.

(LUCY'S POV)

I began to lean off the edge…..

"LUCY!" My eyes shot open as I stared at the pink-haired boy running toward me. "LUCY!" he yelled again. With one quick jump he hopped on a nearby chair and onto the roof pulling himself up and grabbing me by the shoulders. "What the fuck were you thinking!" My tears ran faster. "Oh no not now…" "What….why?!" I pushed him away. "Natsu you should go…. I was just thinking….." "Thinking my ass! I'm not dumb Lucy!" I broke down and fell onto the roof, bursting into tears. "Please leave Natsu! Please!" I yelled, tears pouring down my cheeks. Natsu noticed my tears and his face fell.

He sat down beside me, "I'm sorry for yelling."

I sniffled.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" he asked gently.

I started to cry again.

"Oh, shit! You don't have to, Lucy. I'm sorry. Please don't cry! I hate seeing you cry!" Natsu said hastily.

"You have to go, Natsu," I begged.

"Not until you stop crying, and you're happy again," he said stubbornly.

I broke down in tears again. Natsu wrapped his arms around me and held me close to his chest.

"It's okay, Luce, It's okay," he murmured softly.

Once my tears had quieted a bit, I pulled away and stared down at the hard concrete again. What was I supposed to do now? My stupid selfish soul couldn't bring itself to just jump, here and now, at this very moment. I could probably do it before Natsu noticed, but I was just tired. Tired of trying and tired of fighting. I wanted to just sit here, staring off into the gray sky forever. Me and Natsu sat in silence for a while before he finally said something.

"Aim for the moon because if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

I turned towards him, "What?"

"It's a quote I found online," he said.

"What is it supposed to mean?" I asked.

"It means that you should always aim for happiness, for the things that are good, because happy endings do exist," he answered. I could tell he really believed that. I knew better.

"It's a pretty thought," I said incredulously.

"But not true?" Natsu asked.

"Happy endings really don't exist," I said, "My life is proof of that."

I started to tear up again.

"Hey. Lucy. Lucy, look at me. Look at me," Natsu said, tilting my face towards him.

"You are beautiful and radiant and you just sort of shine. You're like light in a way. All beautiful and glowy and stuff. But what really makes you light is that most of your light comes from inside. Geez, Lucy, don't you know how great you are. You're kind and sentimental and emotional. You don't look at this world, you feel it. You feel everything. You use your heart instead of your head, and that's what I love about you."

"Love?" I thought, my eyes widening.

Natsu realized what he had said, "Oh, geez. I'm sorry, Luce. I didn't mean to. I just… I do love you."

I know it sounds cliché, but I couldn't tell which of us started it, which of us leaned in first. All I knew is that his face was getting closer and then we were kissing. My first ever kiss. And in that moment, as his lips were on mine, all there was was us. No worries, no problems, no threat of my father's beatings, no threat of my death, no threat of Natsu's death. All there was was us sitting on that rooftop as the sun set. It felt like we were a million miles away from Earth. Our love, our kiss was all there was. And in that moment, I felt like I had reached the moon.
