[Juvia POV]

It's safe to say today might've been the worst day of my life. After every embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me, this was the end all be all!

The only thing that cheered me up on this depressing walk of shame home was that I could at least listen to music while I let out my sad emotions. I'm thankful I remembered to bring my ear buds with me for once.

Music was a way for me to escape from the world, especially in my hardest times. My brother was always connected to music and ever since he was in my life, it was like he rubbed off on me.

Whenever I cried with music playing in my ears, it kind of made me feel like I was in some angsty music video. Somehow it made me feel even more better than usual.

A single unfamiliar drop of water splattered on the top of my nose bridge. It wasn't coming from me, my tears were warm, this water was frigid. My brows furrowed as I looked up to check the clouds in the sky with my hands out above my head. It didn't look like it was going to rain, I think it was supposed to be clear skies all day.

Just then, it started pouring rain before I knew it. With my luck, Mother Nature is doing it just to spite me. It's like the sky knew exactly how I felt on the inside.

Great! To top it all off I didn't have my umbrella on me. In the past, Gajeel would force an umbrella on me at any moment when the weather channel said anything about a chance of rain. So, I was never without one. I've been neglecting to remember lately.

Well now that I think of it, I don't think I remember the last time it rained around here. It's been nothing but clear skies since I moved in with Ultear and Gray. What a horrible day to forget my umbrella.

It was down pouring so hard, you couldn't even tell I was crying earlier. My salty drops of tears mixed with the rain pouring from the top of my head to the soles of my shoes. Literally, inside my shoes. I swear I had my own pool of water in each boot. Soaked down to the bone. The wind didn't help either.

It was just the cherry on top of a horrible afternoon! What a treat, am I right?

Much to my dismay, I had to throw my earbuds back into my backpack to make sure they didn't spontaneously combust from water damage. It made getting home less bearable, so I picked up my pace to get there as quickly as I could.

By the time I ran all the way back, as soon as I stepped foot on the driveway the clouds cleared and the sky was fine again. Of course that would happen to me! Just my luck, it only rained on my way home. My clothes were dripping wet, I looked like I just stepped foot out of a swimming pool. If I had known it was a short storm I would've just endured it and walked!

I waddled inside, while tracking water inside with each step. I'll be sure to mop that up later! Straight to the shower I go. The best thing I need right now is to clear my mind and get out of these cold wet clothes. I tend to do my best thinking in the shower anyways.
