"All you want is to fill this empty feeling."

3rd Person's POV

The minute Lucy gets home, she takes a long shower. She washes away the effects of the night before. The makeup, the smell of booze, the sweat from dancing, the dirt on her feet, the sex with Natsu. All gone.

When she gets out, she feels refreshed. The pounding in her head is gone and she's fully awake.

Her phone buzzes on her nightstand. Still drying her hair with a towel, she picks up her phone.

Message From: Cana Alberona

Cana: Heyyyy didja make it home alright? And btw, wanna go shopping? If ur gonna keep hitting up clubs and bars w/me, you need clothes asap

Lucy smirks as she taps out a reply.

Lucy: Yup just got home. And sure, why not?

~.~

Lucy pulls up on Cana's driveway and cuts the engine. She strolls up to the door and rings the doorbell. The door swings open to reveal her best friend.

"Okay, let's go. You need some clothes," she says rather bluntly.

Lucy rolls her eyes and Cana tosses something at her. A pair of keys. She raises an eyebrow at the brunette.

"You're driving."

"Hey, wanna hit up a club tonight?" Cana asks. "A new one called Night Sky just opened up on Petal Dance Avenue."

"Sure. I have nothing else to do," Lucy shrugs.

"Sweet."

Cana's eyes gleam as her fingers move to send a text.

"How does this look?"

Cana looks up from her phone. Lucy's modeling a shimmery, hot pink dress that shows off her assets and hugs her curves.

"That'll be perfect for tonight."

~.~

In the end, Lucy comes out with five new dresses. One is the pink one, another is a vivid green and violet, a third is silver and electric blue, the fourth is a slinky gold, and the last is a striking red.

That night, Lucy dons her new, hot pink dress and Cana's in sexy black and white. The heels slid on and they strut out the door.

~.~

This goes on for days, weeks, months. Every night, Lucy and Cana hits up bars and clubs and goes out dancing and drinking. And every morning, Lucy wakes up in a strange man's bed and leaves to get refreshed and get drunk again the same night.

She loves the feeling she gets when she's drunk. She feels happy, carefree, wild, and free. It's addicting. When she wakes up again, she has to get get drunk and go out dancing. Because it's the only way to forget. It's the only way to fill that empty feeling.

And scene. This chapter marks the end of Stage One.

What is Stage One? The story is split into two parts: Stage One and Stage Two, as the story is called Two-Stage Heartbreak. Chapter 4 is the end of Stage One and Chapter 5 is the beginning of Stage Two.
