Hello lovies! Sorry for the delay I got VERY lazy but I am back. When my school starts, I will make an update schedule! So here is Burn chapter 6. Also I realize I've been going rather quickly with character development with this story, so I want to apologize and try hard to make it up to you all. Soooo review, follow, and favorite you know the drill. :P
BURN: CHAPTER 6
We walk out of the diner and immediately Lucy starts teasing me about the Lisanna incident. "Ok that was too fun." Lucy says, poking a bony finger into my side. I roll my eyes.
"Yea for you." I say rubbing my temples. "She is way too much for me." Lucy laughs.
"You need to explain this to me." She giggles.
"Fine, she's just a childhood "friend" that has a crush on me." I say making air quotes around the word friend. "She is always near me. She's like my personal stalker. She's preppy, loud, obnoxious, and annoying. And I hate her."
"Oh lighten up.. Natsu-sama." She says laughing like it was the funniest thing she has heard in ages.
"SHUT UP!" I roar. I was not in the mood for this crap, but it seemed that Lucy was. She starts holding her sides and bends over laughing hysterically. She snorts and laughs even harder. I roll my eyes but I can't help let a smile creep onto my lips. "Are you done yet?" the sight of her laughter was unbearably adorable so I myself couldn't hold back a small laugh.
"yes…. Yea… I'm.. I'm done." She says catching her breath and wiping tears from her eyes. She was getting really close to the street.
"You know it wasn't that funny." I say annoyed. She giggles and nods. She falls backwards and in an instant I grab her arm and pull her towards me. Her fragile hands rest on my chest. For an instant the air goes still. There is only me and her. She looks up at me. I look down at her. We stand there for an eternity. Then…BANG.. A sharp pain pierces my head. "CRAP" I shout. The background lights on fire like someone flipped a firey light switch. I grab my head letting go of Lucy's soft wrist. I fall to my knees. I can't think right.
YOU'RE FAULT
The words repeat over and over in my head. I crush my eyelids together. My head pounds like a heartbeat. Everything was burning. I look around. Trees burnt to a crisp, grass turned an ashy grey, ashes falling down to the ground. Lucy… Where was she?
"LUCY!" I scream. "LUCY?" My head felt like it was about to explode.
YOU'RE FAULT… IT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HER TOO
"SHUT UP! LUCE WHERE ARE YOU?!" I scream at the top of my lungs.
YOU'RE GONNA KILL HER! LIKE YOU KILLED ME!
A woman engulfed in fire rushes to me and screams. It's her. She holds something. A body. She was carrying it bridal style. Blonde locks drape down the head of the body.
"LUCY!" I scream. The head turns to me and reaches out for help. I reach for it.
"Natsu…" Lucy whimpers. "Natsu…" I try so hard to reach for her. COME ON LEGS. WORK. Tears form at my eyes. I shut them and scream.
"NATSU" I open my eyes. The world is back to normal. Lucy is standing there crying. She's holding my head in her hands, tears fall down her perfect cheeks. My face was wet. I feel my face. I too was crying.
"What.. what happened?" I ask.
"You fell and just started screaming." She says, eyes wide. "You were calling for me and I was right here the entire time.. you.. you weren't there.. You weren't here." She says between sobs. I bring her close to my chest.
"I'm so sorry…" I say uneasily. She was shaking.
"I thought you were gonna hurt yourself" she says. That was a lie. I could tell. She was worried I was gonna hurt myself, yes, but she was even more worried that I might've hurt her.
"You know I will never hurt you, right?" I whisper into her small ear. She gives me a small nod. She gently stands up and reaches out her hand to help me up. I stand up slowly, my head felt like it was going to fall off. She puts my arm around her neck and helps me walk.
"Let's get u you home." She says softly. We walk slowly. I tell her when to turn, left and right. After walking for what seemed like forever we finally end up at my house. It wasn't much. Just a small 2 story house. Something was different. There was a car in the driveway
"SHIT." I swear. Lucy turns to me.
"What?" Lucy asks.
"My dad is home…" I say
