Chapter 7:

Lucy's Pain

Lucy Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 12:44pm next day*

"I'm going home," I said to Levy while I saw Natsu and Lisanna get cuddly and I got up, "I need to pay my rent. See you guys tomorrow!"

"See tomorrow, Lucy," a lot of people yelled back as I left the guild.

"Hold up Lucy, I'll go with you," Happy said, "See you later Natsu."

"Thanks Happy," I replied after he caught up with me.

"Lucy," Happy spoke as we walked.

"Natsu, he's kind of cheating on me and doesn't really know it," I responded, "Its makes me so upset and it hurts so damn much." After that, tear spilled out of my eyes and hit the ground.

"Lucy, I wish I could help," Happy replied then he rubbed my shoulder.

"If only he remember that I'm his girlfriend then I wouldn't hurt so much," I responded.

"Maybe you should take a solo mission," Happy suggested and my tears halted.

"Thats a great idea Happy," I said and I smiled, "I'll go on a solo mission tomorrow." Then I ran off toward my apartment.

Natsu Pov.:

"I wonder whats wrong with Lucy," I spoke with cinfusion.

"Lucy must be having harder time with Natsu's memory lost then she lead us to believe," I over heard Mirajane whisper to Levy.

Levy nodded as I heard her say, "Ya, only a few days ago they confessed to each and they were suppose to do the dragon slayer you-know-what when they got back from that mission. But since Natsu can't remember that he confessed, they can't do that."

"I feel so bad for Lucy, she must be going through a lot pain but she would never show it," I heard Mirajane reply.

"Ya, but she doesn't want Natsu to worry," I heard Levy respond.

"Ya, Natsu is probably listening to us right now and will probably go and confont Lucy right," I heard Mirajane say.

"Yep," I heard Levy say then they broke out into giggles. 'Damn right I'm going to confont her about it,' I thought as I got up and I walked out of the guild while Mirajane stopped their laughter and they watched me walked out.

*TIME SKIP 10minutes later*

I walked up to Lucy's apartment and I heard Lucy sobbing as Happy said, "There, There, Lucy. I promised I'll help you throw this. I'm here for you Lucy."

"I know," Lucy replied as she sobbed.

"I'm sure he'll remember soon," Happy replied.

I took a deep breath then I knocked on the door. "Who is it," Lucy asked while she tried to the fact that she had cried.

"Its Natsu," I replied, "Can I come in?"

"Actually, this bad time so no," Lucy responded and her voice cracked a little.

"Lucy, I want to help," I said, "Please let me in."

"No, go away," Lucy yelled. 'Alright, Lucy, if thats how its got to be then I'll do it the hard way,' I thought as I walked away from the door and went to the window and bragged in.

"Lucy, I want to help you, please," I said as I walked up to her as she sobbed into her pillow and Happy patted her on the shoulder.

"Natsu, you can't make better. Cuz it will only get worst if you try to help," Lucy replied and she sobbed hard into her pillow.

"At least tell me why you left the guild," I responded.

"To pay my rent," Lucy said and continued to sob into her pillow.

"Thats not the only reason," I replied, "Lucy, there is more so tell me."

"NO," Lucy yelled while she cried even harder.

"Lucy," I said then I put my hand on her shoulder, "Please tell me, I don't why know why but it feels like someone is putting needles in heart when I see you crying like this."

Lucy Pov.:

'He is really that bothered by this. Maybe Levy was right, his brain doesn't remember but his heart may,' I thought as my blood-shot eyes looked into Natsu's sad eyes. "I left mainly because seeing you cuddling Lisanna the way you were made me very upset," I said and I saw the shock look on his face.

"Why would that make you upset," Natsu asked.

"You'll have to remember who I am to you on your own," I replied, "But for now, you can hold me until I feel better." A moment later, I felt Natsu's strong warm arms wrap around my waist and pull me close to him. 'I wish I could tell him that he is my boyfriend but he has to remember that on his own," I thought as drifted asleep.
