That's when it got quiet erza stood up an looked at the door way again gray eyes were facing forward with fury in them. "What are you doing here?" Gray said. "What are you doing here?" Jellal said. Now both of them were out there. "Why can't they just leave me alone" erza said falling to her knees. "Leave he alone after all you done she doesn't want to see you " jellal said. " You think she want to see you you done so much to " gray said. "You hurt erza and I won't forgive you" jellal said. "And your not guilty ? you hurt her too and I'm not letting that slide either " gray said. "You better fucken leave or ill kick your ass" jellal said. "Try me ass hole I've been wanting to kick your ass ever since I found out what you did to erza" Gray said. Thy were about to swing at each other when the old lady came out "both of you leave poor little Erza !" she said her white cat following behind. They stopped. " Haven't y'all done enough to her ! and you Gray my boy I never expected this from you" she said. Gray looked down. "I'm sorry" he said. "I'm sorry ma'm" Jellal said apologizing. "Now both of you leave before y'all make it worse " the old lady said. They were both leaving "Gray" she said. He turned " I saw you in television ... I heard what happened " the old lady said. Gray looked down. "My boy lies always come out you should have known " she said. "I know " Gray said. "The thing is .. Everyone lies there is not one person in this whole world who has not told a lie once but you have to accept the truth and confront the lies before anything else I know you meant well but you should have never done what you've done my boy loves not a game we shouldn't treat it like it's a roll the dice game love is respect, trust, honesty, and it's a full commitment for life not a pass around time " the old lady said. Her words got to Gray " but I know theres love I see it in your eyes you're in love with her now son I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things .." She said. "If you really love her then don't stop trying and stay by her side" the old lady said. "I'm trying but my world your is almost here and I want her to open the door so I stay instead of leaving because I leave it all for her or if not .. I take her with me but I just know she won't forgive me after all I've done I deserve what I'm getting " Gray he turned and walked away. "My This boy is Just like you John ... Just like you" the old lady said looking up. she turned and walked away.

Gray got on the elevator he looked at his reflection on the mirror. He then remembered him and erza always on with him he recalled the few times they were on the elevator.

They walked into the elevator it was really awkward both of them . "So um anything good " gray said avoiding eye contact "not really " erza said . That's when the elevator shook making them both tumble and gray caught erza to keep her from falling . Erza hands where on gray chest and gray had his hands on her waist they where looking at each other blushing . Erza quickly removed herself from him and distance herself . " Maybe this is a bad idea I - "no come on I want to get to know you " gray said . "Why do you want to get to know me I'm not special " erza said . "Well I think you are " gray said erza eyes widen and she turned . "Something about you .. Interest me and that's why I want to know you "
