"Natsu, you make me happy. And I don't know how I could've gotten through this week without you. Even with me not being able to speak you didn't plead with me to get me to talk or force me to talk. It made me love you even more for that." I paused f...

Lucy POV
Let's start with the good parts of last week. My car was officially finished in time for school and lunch with all my friends. I've literally spent all of last week just cruising around town learning it's new differences from while I was away. It gave me the peace and relaxation after.. well I'm just gonna call it "that".

I was beyond proud and thankful for everyone around me. Levy, my bestest friend who bought me my beautiful mustang. Whoms payback will be setting her up with Gajeel. Hehe. Mostly Juvia and Gajeel, as well as their dad because without that she'd still look like she just came from the scrap yard. Ezra and Gray, all of them really, being my moral support. I got all my paperwork sorted out for school, and finally got a chance to meet with Mira about when she wanted me to start. Which she was confused at first but then realized she completely forgot to tell me my start date and started apologizing over and over. I ended up walking out with a free donut and she said for my first month working there I could have anything for free. I'd really just been spending my time at home reading since I didn't need to work on my car anymore, but Juvia told me her dad said I could bring it back and work on it if I ever needed to.
What was I doing right now? Trying everything in my power to stall going to lunch. That's probably the bad part of my week. I've been doing my best to avoid everyone because of Natsu's outburst at me. When I fell to my knees screaming that day Erza and Levy ran to my side. I heard Gajeel and Juvia around somewhere but I couldn't really hear anything other than myself. And the sound of his engine humming down the road into the distance. I herd Erza on the phone with Gray, saying something about meeting them at the shop and then storming to his house to punch the sense into him. That he'd finally gone too far. Yada, yada, yada. I felt Juvia at my side stroking my hair, saw Gajeel run after Levy before she ran into the road, and walking back to us with her under his arm. She had a very unamused expression as well as a small blush on her face. If I wasn't heart broken I would've died laughing.
Gray showed up in his silver 70' Chevy Nova which I'd never seen before. His car had black stripes like mine but only on the hood. By the time he arrived I was semi calm. Levy and Juvia at my sides holding me. Gajeel was leaning against the building behind us. When Gray got out of his car he looked at me and then Erza who was walking up to him. Gray was definitely instantly pissed. He looked in the direction Natsu took off in and then to me. Erza told Levy to get in his car which she squeezed my arm and did as she was told getting in the back seat. Erza pushing the seat back after Levy got in and sat down in the passenger seat closing the car door. Gray was about to get back into the drivers seat but he came over and hugged me, kissing my forehead like any brother would and left his hand on top of my head for a moment looking into my eyes. I returned his gaze as if begging him to go easy on Natsu but also showing how broken I was. I heard him sigh and shake his head. As he stood back up he ruffled my hair a bit and the got in his car and drove off leaving me with Juvia and Gajeel, who I finally noticed started washing my car for me.
