Chapter 103

Honest Truth

After searching the normal places, her apartment, her favourite bookstore, ect, Natsu finally found her perched on the river's ledge, watching the water surge below. Carefully he settled down beside her and the two sat in silence.

"I'm sorry." Natsu finally mumbled.

"I know you are." Lucy's word came out as more of a sigh then anything. "I just don't understand. Why did you get so upset at Daisuke-kun?"

Natsu contemplated coming up with some grandiose excuse. Something cool that involved loan sharks and a devious plot to steal Lucy's kidneys but eventually he decided that the truth was best.
