Chapter 2

{I'm too far gone now}

"YOU THINK YOU'RE WHAT?" Erza screamed over the phone. Lucy pulled it away slightly, wincing at her now ringing ears.

"Quiet down!" Lucy scolded her, checking her ears to see if she were okay.

"Quiet down? You tell me you're in love with him and expect me to calm down!" Erza exclaimed insidiously. Lucy felt her cheeks heating up, looking around to make sure no one was around before responding.

"I never said I was in love with him!" She shot back, a hand on her reddened cheek, adding quietly "I said I think I'm in love with him." She corrected.

"Oh I'm so sorry, you're right it is totally different." Erza replied sarcastically, the sound of rummaging on her side of the line.

"Shut up Erza!" Lucy exclaimed in embarrassment, fully red now. Erza snorted on the other side, murmuring a few words to whom Lucy guessed was Jellal.

"What are you doing?" Lucy asked after Erza hadn't responded for a while. Erza hummed into the receiver before clicking her tongue.

"I'm taking the next flight over there!" Erza replied determinedly. Lucy jolted in horror, fearful of the thought.

"No-No! Erza it's okay..I need to do this by myself." She said, surprisingly forceful. Erza stayed quiet on the other end for a moment before responding with a grunt, more whispering on her end.

"Promise?" Lucy prompt, crossing her fingers.

"Well if I did come, you'd probably already be with that idiot somewhere, so promise." Erza sighed in defeat. Lucy grinned cheekily before registering her words fully, letting out a hot "Hey!" in protest.

"I won't be with him!" She lied, she most certainly would.

"Oh come on Lucy we all know you miss him." Erza replied, slightly softer. Lucy stared down at her hands before sighing, nodding slightly before realizing Erza couldn't see her. She hummed a "mmm." Before looking over to her computer, checking the time. Noticing it was twelve o'clock she fell over in shock, jumping up and talking in a rushed tone.

"Erza! Erz-Erza? Erza I gotta go. Yeah, uhuh, okay I promise, yeah-yes-no! Okay bye." Lucy replied shortly before closing the phone, giggling softly at the worried Erza. She hummed a tune happily before skipping into her bedroom, walking over to her drawers and getting her necessities.

After pulling out all her clothes-which consisted of a simple soft sundress and cute hat with gladiator sandals-she walked into her bathroom and jumped in the shower, continuing to hum along to a song.

Once done, she turned the faucet off and jumped back out, drying herself off and slipping her things on, walking into her bedroom once more and blow drying her hair, leaving it down and putting on the hat. She looked at herself in the mirror, slightly proud, before looking over to her digital clock, noticing it was now twelve fifty five.

"Oh crap!" Lucy hissed, running to get her things before barreling towards the door and opening it.

"Where exactly are you going?" A chilling voice froze her in place, making her silently swear. Slowly she turned around, a cold sweat breaking out on the back of her head.

"T-the store." She lied, looking anywhere but his cold, calculating eyes. He looked at her sharply, a certain unamused look to him.

"You went yesterday." He called out her fib, making her flinch. She searched her brain for another excuse, panicking slightly.

"I didn't get all the groceries!" She laughed nervously, putting on a weak smile. He stared at her for a long moment before nodding in approval, waving her off. Lucy sighed, visibly relaxing before turning around and bolting out of the house, running down the sidewalk until she was sure she was out of his line of vision.

She sighed in exhaustion, putting her hands on her knees for a moment before standing back up, looking around in amazement.

"It's so beautiful.." Lucy trailed off in awe, staring up at the sky.

"It sure is." A voice next to her startled her, making her jump nearly ten feet in the air and squeal, until realizing who it was.

"Natsu!" She exclaimed happily, having to hold herself back from jumping into his arms, she subsided with a smile.

"Lucy," Natsu greeted cheerfully, rubbing his eyes and letting out a yawn before smiling sheepishly.

"Sorry, I just usually don't wake up this early..." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes again. Lucy giggled at his cute expression before rolling her eyes, tugging him by the hand and giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Oh but Natsu can we go to the beach? Puh lease~?" She begged, hands clasped together and lower lip sticking out. Natsu felt his heart pick up slightly and looked away, rolling his eyes and brushing it off.

"Fine," He chuckled, amused by her cute behavior. Lucy smiled in happiness, nearly hugging him again. She had never been to the beach here, but had heard lots about it.

"Great! I brought my swimsuit." Lucy rummaged through her tote, pulling it out with a smile.

"Okay but I have to go get my swimming shorts so we need to make a quick stop to my place." Natsu said thoughtfully, steering her around
