Previously On Love and Distrust

"The movie we're shooting right now is doing really well, so I've been busy and I'm probably going to stay over at the studio for a couple of days or weeks. Don't make meals for me and don't wait for me at night. ~Natsu"

Anger surged through me. I was too enraged to be disappointed, dejected or sad.

I need an explanation.

Now.

Chapter 4~ Till Death Do Us Part

I clenched my fists into a tight ball. I clenched it so hard the flesh of my own hands started to peel and bleed. My blood flowed down my fingers, staining the white carpet below. My eyes gleamed with a flame of anger that could not be extinguished. My blood surged angrily, burning inside my veins.

Rage burned through me so great that words could not describe it.

I didn't know anymore what to feel. Anger? Resentment? Disappointment.

I fell to my knees.

"How could you do this to me?"

I strapped on my seat belt and slammed the car door shut. I drove quickly, making sharp turns and drifts as my thoughts raced through my mind. Was I ready to know the truth?

There it was. Dragneel Studios was right in front of my eyes. Another unpleasant scene unfolded before my eyes. My husband, once again was passionately making out with Lisanna. I clenched my fists into tight balls. I gritted my teeth in fury. I could not believe this.

That's when Natsu glanced at me with a look of disbelief and shock. It was almost a look of remorse. I turned my heels and swiftly walked the opposite direction.

A pair of oncoming headlights raced towards me.

"Lucy!" Natsu's distressed voice rang in my head.

But it was too late.

The impact of the speeding car immediately crushed my hip, fractured my skull and broke my arms.

The pain shot through me and I could literally feel the impact of my fall distort my spine.

The scene was far from a pleasant picnic.

Blood was splattered everywhere on the road, a crimson hot liquid poured from many parts of my body.

I was pathetically lying on the big red puddle of my own blood, everything was happening so fast I did not have enough time to react to the feeling of agonizing pain that writhed within me.

Before I knew it, I blacked out.

"I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad,"

We were exchanging our vows at the church.

"The patient's in critical condition!"

"The patient is undergoing ventricular fibrillation!"

"In sickness and in health,"

"Bring me the defibrillator!"

"Charging the AED at 20!"

"Clear!"

"I will love you and honor you all the days of my life."

"Ugh! Charge it again."

"Charging the AED at 25!"

"Clear!"

"Until death do us part."

"Beep."

The line finally goes flat.

I was in front of my real mother's grave.

The rain was dripping softly off my umbrella, onto my shoulder.

"Layla Heartfillia"

"X748-X777"

" A Soul Loved By Many."

I read the words engraved on the gravestone.

"Mother."

"When death came to you, did you suffer?"

"Soon, I will know for myself."

"We got a pulse!"

"Bring me the heart lung machine!"

"Ack!"

"She's hemorrhaging(bleeding) from a different location!"

"She's convulsing!"

"She's going into cardiac arrest!"

"Stay with me!"

In The Hospital Waiting Room

3rd Person POV

"How is she doctor?!" Lucy's parents questioned the doctor with a worried tone.

The doctor replied with a look of sadness and remorse and hesitantly spoke.

"She might not make it."

Lucy's stepmother was now sobbing uncontrollably and her father only looked down, trying to hide his emotions.

Finally, Natsu spoke.

"What's her chances on surviving this doctor?"

"I would give her a 50-50 chance."

"Even with that being said, there is a 90% chance that she will be diagnosed with either Retrograde Amnesia or Anterograde Amnesia."

Amnesia.

After all, ignorance is bliss.

Chapter 5~ Who I Am

I woke up in a bright room.

White sheets, tiled floors, green curtains.

The smell of medicine wafted throughout the air. Was this the hospital?

What am I doing here?

"Where am I?"

"Who are you?'

"Who am I?
