The Truth Is Out

Chapter 30

"Gray " "Gray?" he heard someone calling him. That's when they began to shake him. He flustered his eyes open. "Oh thank goodness I though you die on me" erza said. Gray stood up we wish he had died because then it would save him all the pain he was gonna feel today but not really him but erza. "Uh no I was just really tired I didn't sleep well last night" gray said. "Why not? did I keep you awake I'm sorry" erza said. "No I .. Was just lost in thoughts " gray said. "You over think to much gray" erza said smiling and giggling. He sadden he was sure gonna miss that beautiful smile and laugh. She placed some pancakes on the table "there you go " erza said. He looked at it it had eggs for the eyes and bacon as the mouth. He would of though this was cute but right now he was just so worried his stomach felt knotted. He ate just to please erza but he didnt have much of an appetite. "There done it was delicious " he said. Erza smiled "glad you liked it" erza said placing the dirty plates away. "When am I gonna tell her?" gray though he couldn't tell her so soon. He decide first he spend all day with her and then tell her. "But wouldn't that hurt her more ?" gray though he was so confused it started to frustrate him he hit the table making erza jump a little and turning to look at him "is everything fine gray?" erza said. "Uh yeah sorry I was um .. Just seeing how strong this table was " gray said giving assuring smile. Erza made a face but decide to ignore it. "Hey um erza imma go to Mira cafe ill be back but in the mean time get dress because were gonna spend all day together" gray said. "Really !" erza said. He nodded. "Okay then !" erza said quickly washing the dishes and that's wen gray walked out the door. His smiled faded he walked out the door walking on the streets to get to the cafe that's when people saw him and were amused "OMG THATS GRAY FULLBUSTER!" They said. "OMG the famous singer !!" they said. "HE LIVES HERE!! WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE !" they said they rushed to him "can we have your autograph ?" they asked. Gray gave a sad smile "sure" he said and signed them and walked away. When he first came here he would have killed for them to recognize him and adore him but now he doesn't care now the only thing he cares about is erza and knowing he's gonna lose her kills him even more. He walked in the cafe and sat down. Looking down. That's when laxus rushed into the cafe "YOU BASTARD !" he said to gray lifting him from the collar. "Put me down man !" gray said. "Laxus what gotten into you put him down!!" Mira said. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ERZA ! WHY WOULD YOU LIE !" laxus said. That's when gray realized he had found out the truth. He looked down. Laxus noticed. "Laxus what are you talking about ?" Mira said. "Nothing " laxus said he pulled gray outside. "How long did you think you could last without everyone finding out your secret " he said. "Not long " gray said. "Why ? why did you do that to erza do you know how much she loves you ! why did you lie to all of us !" laxus said. "I do know and yes I know how much erza loves me and it hurt me seeing her so happy knowing ill be taking that away from her and .. I'm sorry I didn't mean for all this to go far" gray said. "If i hadnt read the newspaper today i wouldnt have found out i read them and then looked up and i found out more .. When are you going to tell her" laxus said. "Today" gray said. Laxus looked down. "You realize him much damage your gonna cause after all she went thru with the jellal thing your still gonna cause her more pain? Even I wouldn't do something like that" laxus said. "I know I know it just without even knowing I fell in love and so did she and I couldn't tell her I just .. Couldn't" gray said. They stood there. "But I am today and ..." His voice cracked he couldn't go on. "Who else knew?" laxus said. "Natsu, Gajeel and Lyon" gray said. "Is that's why Lucy and Natsu were fighting that one day was it because he didnt want to tell her your secret?" laxus said. Gray nodded. "Not only are you gonna ruin erza but you almost ruin a perfect marriage?" laxus said he shook his head. "I literally though you were better than that jerk but now you even more worse " laxus said and with that he turn and walked into the cafe. Gray signed an turned. Gray walked home he went in "erza you ready ?"he said she came out she was wearing a white winter coat that went to her knees looking like a dress she had her black legging an some boots that matched her coat an her hair was it a messy bun but with curl strands hanging out and her white beanie . Gray mouth dropped she looked beautiful. "Wow you look ... Amazing!" gray said. Erza blushed "thank you" she said they hooked arms and went out that started walking. "I LOVE YOU GRAY!!" girls said. Erza though that was strange " I helped these girls out and now they like me but don't worry I love you " gray said. Erza smiled and nodded. They went all over town looking at the Christmas lights and the Christmas tree in town square everything was beautiful they walked everywhere looking around erza face filled with amazement gray couldn't help but smile. After some hours it was finally 6:00 p.m they went to get some warm coffee and finally sat down in a bench. They watched the kids skate around and watched as the snow fell. "I can't wait for Christmas !" erza said. Gray looked down "me neither" he said but he knew Christmas he was not gonna spend with erza. "what's wrong gray?" erza said placing her coffee down and holding his hand. "It's just .." Gray looked up trying not to fall apart. "What is it gray please tell me I always sensed their was something wrong with you but I though not to push it but it's not alright for you to hold it in" erza said he looked at her eyes filled with concern. He looked away "no gray you have to tell her no more excuses " he said he took a deep breath then turned to look at her. "Erza I have to tell you something.. something I have kept a secret from you and the others from the beginning I lied to you from the start" gray said. "What is it gray your scaring me" erza said. "Before I tell you please just hold me once more that's all I ask" gray said. Erza held him it took so much from gray not to cry right then and now she held him from the longest time till they finally pulled away. They still held each other hands . "Erza I'm not who I claim to be I'm- "GRAY!!" a voice called. Gray eyes widen "no " gray though he turned around slowly and his eyes grew wider that when he was tackled by a hug. "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH GRAY!" Tried pushing her off "gray who is she and why is she hugging you?" erza said . "Excuse me ? do you not know who I am ??" she said. Erza shook her head. "Wow I think some of your fans are Retarted gray, My Name Is - " that's when erza interrupted her "Fans?" erza said. "Yeah fans?" she said. "You have fans gray?" erza said. "Don't tell me you don't know who he is ?" she said. Erza looked puzzled "OMG Liz was totally right no one knows you here! "she said. "Well for your informations this is Gray Fullbuster the worlds famous singer all around the world " she said. Erza eyes wide "famous singer ?" erza said. "Yeah look" she said showing erza her phone and a newspaper all about him. Erza eyes widen as she crushed the paper. That's when she remembered.
