Hey Fairies! Welcome to the first chapter of Stage 2! Enjoy!

And my first two reviewers (and only reviewers XD), here are your replies:

Grizzly98: Oh, Natsu? We won't be seeing him for a while :)

Guest: The chapter/scene is completed, basically. Yeah, I honestly considered about Lucy having sex and stuff. I'm debating on whether she should be preggers or not…

Stage Two, Chapter 1

"Stage two is when the emotions hit you. You lay in bed for weeks, maybe even months. You cry so much that your face is naturally puffy and red now. You can't even begin to think about going out with friends."

3rd Person's POV

It's not until the third week when Lucy wakes up in another stranger's bed and asks herself, what am I doing?

She's suddenly filled with a mixture of emotions; shame, guilt, confusion, anger, bitterness, sadness. Mostly sadness.

"Hey."

The naked guy next to her sits up and grins at her.

"Wanna go again?"

His hands lightly trace her bare arm and she automatically recoils from his touch. He tilts his head, confused.

"What's going on? You don't wanna go again?" he pouts.

"Fuck off, creep," she hisses, grabbing her clothes from the floor.

Lucy dresses at lightning speed and runs out the door.

When she gets home, she slams the door and collapses in a sob. She misses him. More than she knew. She never really got over him.

Using the last of her strength, she crawls into her bedroom and pulls herself onto her bed, tears silently leaking down her cheeks. She curls up into a ball and closes her eyes, trying to ignore the ache in her heart.

Her phone buzzes again and again. Lucy growls as she reaches for her phone on her nightstand. Hundreds of notifications pop up.

Levy: Luce?

Levy: R u there?

Cana: Lucyyyyy

Cana: We miss yoooooo

Levy: Are you ok

Levy: Cana told me what the bastard did to you

Levy: I told Gajeel

Levy: shit I think he's gonna go kill Loke

Levy: shitfuckshitfuck I can't stop him

Cana: Luce wanna go out

Cana: Hey r u thereeee

Levy: Cana and I r here for u if u need us

Cana: I need to help Levy restrain Gajeel

She giggles in spite of herself, before seeing a message from someone she never expected. Loke.

Loke: Hey, I'm sorry. Do u wanna get back together? My new gf broke up with me and I rlly miss my old ex. Which is you. If you miss me, meet me at the Starlight Cafe. You know, our meeting place? I'll be waiting for you babe. Love ya 3

She stares at the message, stunned. She let out a shrill scream and threw her phone at the wall, shattering the front.

"I HATE HIM!" she wailed. "I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM, I HATE HIM! BASTARD! ASSHOLE! SON OF A BITCH! I HATE HIM!"

~.~

Weeks pass. Months even. She spends her days, locked up in her house. She orders a new phone to replace her old one and has it delivered to her house. She can't bear to face society. Not like this.

~.~

She's curled up on her couch, on her new phone, adding contacts she knew to it. Her old phone wasn't broken enough for it to stop working, so she scrolls through the contacts. Lucy sighs, feeling tired and exhausted. She puts down her new phone on her nightstand, and places her shattered old one next to it.

As she closes her eyes, there's a sudden buzz from her old phone.

Levy: Do you wanna hang out with me and Cana? We haven't seen you in forever. Or maybe we can come over? Wanna see how you are Lu.

Lucy: Not in the mood. Maybe next time.

She turns off her phone and places it face down, trying to sleep. What she didn't notice, was a certain message from a certain someone…

Wow. It's been a while everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review, favorite, and follow :D All of those makes my day :) Thanks for reading! Until next time! SoulHorse, over and out.
