Chapter 1

She walks through the large door of the guild all staring at her as they greeted her. She only gives a faint smile. It's been afternoon but the guild is still at loud, she sat at the bar counter showing no expressions. " Lucy… " Happy said as he approach her. " Oh hey Happy. " She gave him a smile, but not the same smile she always shows. Happy only stare down then he left, he miss Lucy… The bubbly one.

She have change.. It's really obvious, the bubbly celestial spirit who always has this mile that makes everyone around her smile too without reasons is nowhere to be found.

" Mira, can I have some ice tea? " She said while looking at the bar maid with a smile but it didn't reach her eyes. " Yeah sure, just wait a couple of second. " The maid went to other side of the counter to get her drink. " Lu-chan are you okay? " Levi said as she sat next to her blonde bestfriend. " Yeah, I'm okay. Do I look sick? " She ask smiling, Mira handed her drink giving the bar maid a quite thanks. Mira give her a nod and smile at her as she left. " Nope, not at all. " Levi said before someone pulled her at the other side of the guild leaving the celestial spirit mage.

Lucy watch her guild mates partying. Making loud noise, drinking, and laughing. She smiled but not that wide for everyone to see. It's been a month since she became like this and everyone knows about it. Everyone knows what happen to them that makes her change all over. She shakes her head, she don't want to reminisce about it. Those memories makes her want to runaway, she feel like she's in verge of tears. It's been 2 hours since she's in the guild, she's still sitting at the bar counter alone. Yeah she's alone, but still someone approach she just want to be alone.

He's been staring at her all this time. He want to see her smile, not the fake one but the sweet one. He want to approach her, comfort her but he don't know how.

Gray saw him leaving the guild. He raise an eyebrow, it's too early to leave the guild. He follow her but not that she will notice him. When she's near her apartment, she walks through the ledge beside the lake. The sky is dark he didn't notice the sunset he's just staring at her. How she walks on the ledge he sigh shaking his head, he miss this side of her and he want to see all the things she always did before.

She went inside her apartment, Gray just stop in front of her apartment waiting for a minute before entering. Still he don't want to look like a stalker to her. After several of minutes he finally enter her apartment. " Yo! Luce. " He approach before sitting at her pink couch " Gray! " She shouted look surprise as she turn to him with wide eyes. " And what are you doing here? " She asked resting her hand at the side of her waist waiting for his answer " Nothing, why did you left the guild so early? " He replied staring at her. " I-Im just tired… " She answered as she looked away. Lie. " Yeah? Tired of what? " He asked raising an eyebrow at her. Annoyed of his presence she looked at him " Gray, you don't ha- " Gray cut her off " It is still because of it? " He asked as he stand up walking towards her.

Lucy close her eyes firmly. She don't want to remember it, it hurts like hell! Yeah it's been a month since it happen but still for Lucy it's still fresh. She feel her eyes hot, she don't want Gray to see her crying. She don't want to look fragile at him. When she's about to speak to Gray to leave her apartment she was surprised. All of a sudden she feel his strong arms, Gray is hugging her. She don't know why but she felt hot tears rolling over her cheeks, she's crying. " Cry, don't hold it back. It will never ease the pain. " He said as he tap her back, because of this Lucy can't hold it back anymore. She cry hard almost shouting as she hugged her back. Gray didn't say anything as she only listen to her cryings.

" He left me. He just left me. " She said in the middle of her crying, Gray didn't response he let her speak saying all she want to say.

" Without reasons?! Is it fair? He didn't say anything! "

" For 5 months?! Is he only acting? Did he even love me? "

" I think he's only toying on me! And I'm too stupid to didn't even notice it! "

" I hate him! He is really stupid! "

All of a sudden her voice became low " But I still love him. Ha-ha foolish me for still loving him. " She said with a fake laugh. At hearing those words Gray felt pain somewhere in his heart. She still love him? He sighed. Why? Why still inlove with that stupid saber's dragon slayer?! Damn it!

" You know there's someone else. Forget about him. " He said in a sincere tone as she look at her but in surprise, she's already sleeping. She's already tired of crying, but there still tears on her cheeks. He wiped it away smiling that she express it all. He carried her towards her bed, he laid her carefully and caressed her face moving her hair from her face. And then he kissed her forehead saying. " There's someone else, yeah I'm here. " He said before leaving her apartment peacefully.
