The Bookworm and the Beast- Fairy Tail Oneshots

Ch.14: Hired Girlfriend (NaLu)

I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry.

I chanted this to myself as I ran down the hallway, tears threatening to fall out of my eyes.

I stumbled and hit a wall, my eyes blurry with the tears in them.

The pain in my head stung too much, and I let go of all the tears I tried to hold back.

My back to the wall, I slid down the wall until I was on the ground, a sobbing mess.

Even though I had prepared for this, my heart still shattered. My tears wouldn't stop.

I shouldn't have fallen for him. I knew that, but even though I put the fences up around my heart, he broke them all so easily and I fell, hard.

I sobbed louder. Stupid Natsu.

I knew he only hired me as a pretend girlfriend, so his ex, Lisanna would get jealous for leaving him for another man. He wanted her to come crying to him, begging him to take her back, and then he would leave her like she left her. I knew all that, but I still fell for him.

I only was there for the money, at first.

But, the more time I spent with him, his smile, his bright attitude, his eyes, everything, my defenses crumbled.

I wondered how Lisanna could ever leave him.

I knew I never could leave and I wished to be someone more than a hired girlfriend.

I thought maybe he felt that way too. I was wrong.

I was walking home when I saw them, Lisanna and Natsu.

They were talking and she was begging him to take him back.

I watched, hoping he would refuse, after all wasn't this what he wanted? Lisanna crying to come back to him?

His hesitance spoke for everything I needed to know.

I ran away from there, not wanting to hear anymore.

I knew it would probably end like this, I won't pretend I didn't see the longing in his eyes when he spoke of her.

After all, they were together almost since they were born. How could I have ever thought that I could come between that type of bond?

My tears fell harder as it finally hit me. Natsu and I were never meant to be.

It would always be only him and Lisanna, and nobody else.

I smiled, a sad longing smile.

I got up, and went to prepare myself for tomorrow, after all I shouldn't be crying when he tells me the news.

I should smile and wish them the best, even though my heart would be screaming in pain.

I know he was going to leave me for Lisanna, I should've known.

I was foolish to believe otherwise.

Tomorrow was the day I would be thrown apart and broken.

Tomorrow's the day I'll finally realize it, that he never felt anything for me.

To him I was just a hired girlfriend.

(A/N: I just wanted to know if you wanted me to write another chapter to this. I have one in mind, but it depends if you want to keep it like this, or if you want me to change it to a happier NaLu story. Thanks XD.)
