"Laxus….."
I am immediately thrown into shock when I hear the voice on the other end of the line. I have not heard from Laxus for months and all of a sudden he is calling me!
"How did you get my number?" I ask
"Not even a hello for your ex-boyfriend Lucy?" I hear Laxus say over the phone.
"I'm sorry, you just shocked me. Hi Laxus, how are you?" I say, politeness ever taking over.
"I'm fine Lucy how are you? How's touring?" Again I am shocked, how does he know? But then I mentally smack myself on the head. Of course he knows. My face is plastered practically everywhere at the moment on the 'All Fired Up' tour poster! He knew I was in a band so he must have realised that we had grown popular.
"It's fine thanks. What are you up to lately? How did you get my number?" Again politeness taking over.
"It was still in my phone. I took a wild guess that you hadn't changed your phone number and I clearly got it right. An awful lot has happened since you and I last saw each other. You know how I was filming a movie? Well it's out soon and I want to invite you to the premier!"
My eyes widen in shock and excitement "Your first premier! Oh wow Laxus that is amazing! I would love to come! Can I bring the girls?" I ask
I hear him laugh over the phone. "Of course you can. I heard that you are touring with the boys from 'All Fired Up' so bring them as well. The more the merrier!"
"That is amazing thank you Laxus! But I have to ask one thing."
"Anything what is it?" My heart jolts as I prepare myself to ask the question that I have been stewing in my head for so long.
"Are you still mad at me about what happened back home?" I ask feeling nervous.
"Believe it or not Lucy, I would not be calling you if that was the case. I'm just glad that it never went through in the end and you got to follow your dream. Of course I am not mad."
I smile as my heart twitches a little from the sentiment and I let the big chip on my shoulder that has been there for 8 months melt away with that sentence. "Thank you Laxus. I just wanted to clarify. What are the details?"
"Tell me where your next destination is and I will send you the tickets. How many do you need?"
"4 for the girls and 4 for the boys… so 8 please!" I answer. I tell him where we are on the tour since we staying here for three weeks to record the album.
"Wow an album already! That's great Lucy! That's right near the premier too! It's handy since the premier is only a week away and I only got told now that I can invite people. Thank you for saying that you will come Lucy."
"I'm glad that I can come. But I have to ask, why me Laxus?
"Honsetly Lucy you were the one that got me to where I am now. I thought it would be apt to invite you to thank you for everything that you did for me." I can almost hear the smile growing on his face saying that. I can tell that he is thinking about when we were still together and how I pushed him into every acting audition available. It brings a smile to my face to know that we actually had good moments in our relationship before….that happened.
"I'm glad that I did it otherwise you wouldn't be where you are now! Thank you again for inviting us Laxus. I need to go but I'll see you soon!"
"I can't wait. Bye baby" I hear before we both end the conversation.
"WE ARE GOING TO A PREMIER?!" I hear from the other side of the room. Juvia is clearly awake and I scream in shock.
"JUVIA DON'T DO THAT!" I shout back "You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Gomine-sai Lucy-san. Juvia could not help but over hear the conversation. Is Lucy-san okay after talking to Laxus-san?" Juvia asks concerned. I hear her roll over in her bed to face me and I do the same.
I take a deep breathe trying to comprehend what just happened and take account on my feelings. "Surprisingly, I'm fine Juvia. Just a little shocked. I'm just glad that I got to clear the air with Laxus though." I admit sightly shocked. Despite the conversation being short and to the point, it was nice to talk to Laxus again.
"Juvia is glad." I see her smile and I smile back. She, along with all of the girls, have always been concerned since Laxus and I broke up since it wasn't exactly under normal circumstances and it literally tore us apart! I haven't been honest with anyone except them three about what happened. I always turned into an emotional wreck when I explained it. "So are you going to a premier for Laxus-san?" Juvia asks trying to change the subject.
I laugh at Juvia's promptness to the question. I smile at her. "As long as you all go with me."
Juvia is jumping up and down with joy when Erza and Levy appear outside our room seemingly running towards the loud noise Juvia made.
"What's going on Lu-chan?" Levy asks concerned
"I just got a call from Laxus." I say. They both stare at me with shock and concern.
"Oh my god are you okay?" Levy-chan asks
"Did he hurt you?" Erza asks.
"Girls I'm fine" I say answering their concerned looks. "Seriously I am fine. He has actually asked us all to go to the premier of his movie. Even the boys are invited!" The atmosphere immediately changes in the room! Erza and Levy-chan have now joined in with Juvia in jumping excitedly around the room.
"I'm going to go and tell the boys about this! When is it Lu-chan?" Levy asks.
"He is giving me the tickets soon! He said it is only a week away." I answer making the girls go frantic.
"We need to go dress shopping!" Erza shouts "As soon as we get our tickets, we are dragging the boys out to get suits and we are going to get dresses!"
"Wait! Before we go anywhere, we need to let Mira-Jane and Makarov know first.." I start to say
"Let us know what?" I hear Mira-Jane say as we turn around to see her outside mine and Juvia's room.
We all look at each other nervously shifting our feet from side to side.
"Well come on then, what are you lot trying to hide from me?" Mira-Jane prompts smiling.
Eventually I pluck up the courage to tell her. "I got a call from Laxus Dreyar."
Mira-Jane's eyes pop open wide. "You mean, your ex, the big movie star Laxus Dreyar?"
I nod. "He….has invited me to his premier next week that's near her. The boys are invited too."
"But I thought you guys had broken up?" I had kind of told Mira-Jane what happened, but she doesn't know the full story yet. It's too painful to really tell her since I still hold a place for Laxus in my heart.
"We..we did. Things didn't work out." I say. "But he just called me and we're back on talking terms and he invited us out to the premier. Can we go?"
Mira-Jane looks at us with concern. "What night is it?"
"Sometime next week. We are getting the tickets sometime in the next few days"
Mira-Jane puts her finger to her chin to show that she is thinking. "Since it would be in the evening like all premier's normally are, I don't see why not. Your evenings are all free for the next three weeks since you lot are recording during the day!"
We all beam back at Mira-Jane. That means that we can go! We all run to Mira-Jane and envelope her in a big hug before we all run over the boys's bus again to tell them the good news.
