One more time! I'm back! Quick question, do I have any Girls Generation fans, and if I do, did any of you love their comeback as much as I did. Like OMG, they killed the stage. Well I digress. Lets go!

Without further ado: I do not own Fairy Tail. Hiro Mashima does.

After two hours of talking, Lucy found that she liked Yukino more and more. They both loved reading and had similar fascinations with astrology and the stars. The two girls even had the same key charm bracelet. A limited edition Heart Cruz item, the keys represented the 12 members of the Zodiac. Lucy had managed to get ten while Yukino only had three. The third was a rare key that came out later on in the year called Ophiuchus. The two girls laughed about the charms and shared their love for them and how they acquired them. Yukino attempted to give Lucy her three charms, telling the blonde 'they must be a complete set' but Lucy couldn't do so, seeing how attached the girl was to her respective keys.

The girls only managed to grow closer and closer, both becoming good friends in a short amount of time. She was so preoccupied with Yukino, Lucy almost forgot that Rogue was there. She looked up every now and again and found Rogue still there with the girls. He was leaning against Sting's car with his eyes closed and arms crossed. Just as she was about to tell Rogue to go back inside, Yukino disrupted her thoughts. "What is Sting-san doing? You've been out here for almost three hours, its time for him to be here with you. Wait here Lucy-san, I'll get him."

And with that, the white-haired girl walked right back into the club leaving Lucy alone with Rogue. She leaned against the car and stared at the night sky, waiting patiently.

"And you put up with this why?"

Lucy only chuckled. Here it is, just what she was waiting for. "What are you talking about Rogue?"

"Don't play dumb Lucy, I mean why the hell do you put up with Sting? You're the only girl I know who would let a guy walk all over her like this."

"I've told you before Rogue, I love Sting and I know he loves me. He just doesn't know the right way to show it."

"Lucy, you're way too smart to say something so dumb. The guys is a class-A asshole."

"Rogue stop it. He's your best friend and my boyfriend. You shouldn't talk bad about him."

"It's because I'm his best friend that I can say this. I've know you since you guys first started going out. I also know that you're a cool person and that you don't deserve to be treated like shit. I've bitched to him more times than I can count and every time he says he will do better. Has he? By tonight, I'm guessing not."

Lucy jumped up and looked Rogue in his eyes (that finally opened), "Why do you even care?! This whole thing has literally nothing to do with you."

Rogue never looked away from her as he stared back at her, "Because for 4 years I've watched my best friend mistreat a girlfriend most guys would die for. A girl who isn't picky, doesn't complain, and doesn't even bat an eyelash when her guy does something stupid. You've become like a little sis to me Lucy and I genuinely want what's best for you and Sting. Can you honestly look me in the eyes and tell me that you're happy being with him and him treating you like this."

She tried and tried to voice those words. She wanted to scream to his face that she was happy, but she couldn't. No matter what she did, he body wouldn't allow her to say it. She couldn't even look Rogue in the eyes any more. Finding a pebble on the ground that was much more interesting she kicked it around with her toes. Getting tired of her façade, she looked up at Rogue, desperation in her eyes.

"I can't say if I'm happy or not right now. But what I can say is that I'm still willing to try to find it. I still want to be with Sting and I won't give up on him."

Just as Rogue was about to speak up the doors to the club opened and out walked Yukino flanked by Sting, Rufus, Minerva and a now cleaned up Orga. Sting stalked over to the car, coming right up to Lucy.

"Could you any more of an embarrassment!? How fucking stupid can you be!? Why would you throw a fucking drink in someone's face like a you a little child?! Now everyone is in there wondering who brought you here?! Do you even understand how this makes me look!? THIS is why I don't like bring you places! You can't do any fucking thing right!"

Minerva, Rufus, and Orga snickered during the whole conversation. Yukino was walking forward to stop it while Rogue stepped in-between the two to try to give Lucy some space and allow her to think. Lucy just looked back and didn't even bother to apologize or quell the conversation. She was empty at that point. All she could do was walk away to the passenger side door and wait for the door to unlock.

Everyone else just watched her with a mix of surprise, intrigue, anger, and pride. Sting could only roll his eyes and step towards his door. He sent Rogue a glare, which the black haired male sent back to him. The others of the group dispersed with varying forms of goodbye. Yukino ran to Lucy's side and hugged for at least the thirtieth time that night. The two girls exchanged numbers and promised to meet each other again. With everyone walking away, Lucy's door finally unlocked.

Lucy just wanted to pretend the entire night never happened, and pretend, even more, that she didn't see the look of longing Sting gave Yukino as she walked away.

Wow that took a lot out of me. Here it is lovelies. Again, please read and review this chapter. Thank you all so much for reading this. See you next chapter.
