Lucy stumbled back, struggling to stand on her own two feet. H-how could this happen? I never got to say goodbye. But I hate him, so I shouldn't want to, right? But I do! He's My dad and I still love him... right? No! He did all those awful things. But he had the right to, I was the reason mom died. All he was doing was giving me what I deserve. Right?! Lucy was trembling by now. Hot tears burned the back of her eyes. Natsu reached out and steadied her by her shoulders. What if he did it because of me!? It's all my fault. Both of my parents are dead because of me! That's when she lost it. Tears that had been threatening to fall for years now fell freely. Screams that had been muffled by her dad for years now came out with all the strength she had left. Her limbs trembled harder than ever before. Her knees gave out causing her to crumple to the ground in a heap of sobs. Sobbing turned into weeping as lucy lay on the ground curled up, hoping to block out the world.
The more she tried the more she failed at pushing the world away. She struggled at figuring out the reason for her father's unexpected death. What about the funeral? She didn't have the money or the knowledge to plan that. Did he deserve one? Who would she live with?
Lucy felt strong arms wrap around her and lift her off the cold ground. She soon found comfort in the warmth this unknown source provided. Her sobs soon died down to quiet whimpers, and she found herself unusually tired. Curling closer to the heat that engulfed her, she let herself fall asleep.
Yes yes I know super short chapter but I decided to break the chapter I had originally had into two because it makes a bit more sense. I just wanted to let yall know that the next chapter will be the last of this story, but I do have another story out so if you like how I write or if you're like me and always seem to finish stories way too quick and have nothing to read there is always that one.
Also do you guys remember when I mentioned the alternate ending one of my followers wrote? Well I will probably be putting that out after I finish the next chapter.
Also, I decided that I'm going to start a bunch of little Nalu one shots and make a little series out of it. Here's how it will work:
You (The reader) make a request for the one shot.
(Example: Highschool AU or Modern day AU etc.) You can also request other things such as the plot and or events that occur. You can do this by writing it in the reviews to either one of my stories or PMing me.
Next I will write you request and post it within a week. All of the stories will in in one "Story" but each will have their own separate chapter. I will be sure to write the name of the person who requested the story on their specific chapter or story.
One of my friends here on FanFiction is making me a cover and so far it looks great! Her name is PixelPosT so if you want to go check her out.
Finally I would like to say thank you for everyones support for this story! I'm kinda sad to be finishing it but it is only my first one so I'm excited to start new ones.
