I'll Be Right Here

Chapter 5

Gray woke up and quickly got dressed. He fixed his hair and out the door he went he locked his door and then turn and saw erza also out the door they turned and looked at each other . They both turned away and continue to walk that's when they realized they were both gonna go in the elevator together . Erza didn't want to be in the same elevator as him after all the thing he said . She sign an turned left . Gray watched her . That's when erza began walking downstairs . Gray eyes grew wide . It was probably gonna take her 50 minutes or even more to get down those stairs and with heels even worse they were the highest floor number 17 so it take her quit a while . "Who care why do I care she's mean anyways " gray said . He got in the elevator and rode down he was thinking about his career . "I should have never done what I've done .." Gray said . After a while he finally got downstairs he stepped of the elevator and looked at the stairs to see if she had finish an sage wasnt there . "She probably still coming down and with heels .. That's gonna take her Alot " gray said . He got out and into his car and drove off to his work .

Erza was still going down by know she must be on the 11 floor . She was exhausted especially with these heels . Today wasnt a good day all night she couldn't sleep just cause what gray said because what he said brought her memories of Jellal . She never knew just one man can hurt you so much you never want to love again . It's all been horrible since then her life became awful . Erza took one more step and that's when her heel broke and she fell , she finally caught herself from another fall and she was on the floor . She looked at her knees they where scraped and she gotten a few little bruises and her skirt was torn . She laid her head back . "Dammit .." She said . She looked at the time she was already late and she can't go like this . She grabbed her phone and called in . "Hello " " Hey I can't come to work today " erza said . "Oh okay ill let the boss know " "thanks " erza said and hung up . She got up slowly and began to make her way upstairs limping and half time walking .

It was about an hour and gray was taking photos and creating images for the new magazine . After he was down he looked around he saw no signs of erza . "It couldnt possibly take her that long to get down those stairs ?" gray said . He went to the front office . "Hello gray how can I help you ? " Te girl said . "Uh I just want to know why erza isn't here yet " he said embarrassed that he was asking about her . "Oh she called in saying she's not coming " she said . "Not coming ? oh okay thanks " gray said . Even if he was pretty mad at what happen yesterday he still was worrying and that kept him from full putting his time in his work . After that it was over and he went to the cafe . "Good afternoon gray what brings you here ?"Mira said . " The food " gray said . Mira laughed . Gray looked over and laxus was giving him an awful stare . "Thanks for helping me again laxus " Mira said . "You sure you don't need more help I can stay if you want ?" laxus said not wanting to leave her alone with gray . "No I'm fine thanks " Mira said and gave him a kiss on the cheek and laxus blushed . "See you around Mira "he said and left . "So how's it been at work and are you and erza getting along ?" Mira said . "Is been okay and not at all .." Gray said . "What? what happen ?" gray said . Gray told her about what happen with erza yesterday . Mira shook her head . "What ?" gray said . "Gray no wonder erza slapped you " Mira said . "Oh so your saying its okay to slap me just cause I gave her a simple hug ?" gray said . "No not that it's just .. Erza had some issues in the past and Ever since then she never again let a man touch her or anything. Its been a long time since someone hugged her and she probably didnt know how to respond . she locked her heart away and became cold . Till this days she won't let no man in her life or touch her or ever love her " Mira said . "What happen to her ?" gray said . "Well I can't really say and I don't know all of it " Mira said . Gray was shocked and after he called erza a heartless bitch and all the things he said . "I didnt know .." Gray said . " It's not your fault " Mira said . "But I said awful things to her .." Gray said . " Maybe you can make it up to her ?" Mira said . "But how ?" gray said . "I don't know that's for you to decide " Mira said . "Thanks Alot " gray said sarcastically .
