Surprise! Another chapter just for you guys! I worked hard to make sure that it was good for you guys. Again, thank you guys for liking this story. Wellllll without further ado, here is the next installment!
I do not own Fairy Tail, its characters, or its plot line. All of that belongs to Hiro Mashima.
With the fight still going on full swing, Lucy took the opportunity to go to the bathroom. She made sure that her outfit was still nice and that her hair still looked good. A few years ago, she may have even worn a dress to the outing, but Sting always said he looked a mess in dresses.
Once again satisfied with her appearance, Lucy made her way out of the restroom. When she got into the hallway, her phone rang Sting's ringtone.
"Hey honey."
"Nice to see that you can answer your phone now."
The bitterness in his voice surprised her. "Sting… is everything okay?"
"Oh yea~ everything's fine Lucy. Just wondering why my girlfriend can't be bothered to return a simple text message."
'Shit!' "I'm so sorry! Right as I was sending the text message back to you Gildarts was coming back into the room. You know how much he hates phones. I must have forgotten to answer."
"Yea okay so wh-"
Right when Sting began talking Natsu came bounding down the hallway towards Lucy screaming her name. He a party popper in his hand and popped it next to her. She laughed at his antics but quickly shewed him away, showing him that she had a phone call. When she got back to the conversation, Sting was quiet.
"Sting? Honey are you there."
"Who the hell was that?"
"That? Oh that was Natsu! He just arrived at Fairy Tail Academy today and I was appointed as his guide. I'm in charge of showing him around and helping him get used to the area."
"Where are you now?"
"I brought him to the Lounge. He fit right in-"
"If you're job as guide is to bring him to his classes then why the hell are you bringing him to the Lounge?"
"W-well I thought he'd enj-"
"Dammit Lucy! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH A FUCKING WHORE!?"
The malice in his voice caused her flinch away from the phone.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't meant it. I-I didn't know you'd be upset."
"Don't give me that bullshit! You knew damn well that I'd be pissed. You did this shit on purpose!"
He kept getting angrier and angrier the more he spoke. Her eyes burned with unshed tears. All she felt was fear and shame. While she knew that what she said was the truth, she couldn't help but have to side with him. She always did something wrong. She was always fucking things up in their relationship.
"I'm sorry. You're right, I shouldn't have brought him here. I just wanted him to love the school and I wasn't thinking straight. I-I won't do it again. I'm so sorry."
"Whatever. I'm coming over there in 15. Be ready."
"Okay. I lo-"
*click* He hung up. Lucy leaned against the wall and buried her head in her hands. Guilt. Embarrassment. Shame. Sadness. All of those emotions passed through her all at once. Not only had she made her boyfriend mad, but she'd started flirting around with another guy. Sting was right, she was nothing but a whore.
"Lucy, why do you bother staying with that guy?"
She turned around at the abrupt question and saw Lisanna standing there looking at her, worry shining in her eyes. Lucy quickly pasted a fake smile on her face and started laughing.
"Oh Lis! What are you doing here? Gotta go to the bathroom too? Well its open."
"Lucy. You know we all love you right?"
Lucy couldn't take it, the sadness and worry shining in those crystal clear blue eyes were killing her. However, no matter how much she wanted to break down and cry, she couldn't. She wouldn't let her friends think the worst of someone she cared about.
"Of course I know that. Listen, if this is about what you heard, don't worry. I just messed up that's all. I shouldn't have been alone with Natsu that much. I knew better. I just have to stop being so close to him."
"Lucy don't you dare do that." The look in the white haired girl's eyes changed from worry to anger. "You can think you did something wrong all you want to, but deep down you know you didn't and Natsu didn't either. Don't stop being friends with him just because Sting got mad. You're the first friend the guy has made since coming to Magnolia. Do you really want to make his first memory of this place a bad one? No matter what Sting says, Lucy, don't stop being friends with Natsu. He doesn't deserve it."
For the first time since she met her, Lucy couldn't look Lisanna in the eyes. She wanted to but just felt sadness and guilt hit her even harder. The only thing Lucy could do was nod, mutter a small 'later', and quickly exit the hall to get her things.
I'll make this short. Please review, if you'd be so kind.
