Can't turn back now...I'm haunted

Chapter 1:

Erza's POV:

Have you ever wanted something so badly it hurts?
For most girls it's a kitten or a new dress.
For me, it's someone: Jellal Fernandez - the most beautiful man in the world.
Everything from his soft smile to his blue hair drives me crazy.
I've never wanted anything more.

I've loved him since I was nine-years-old. He was eleven. Now, 12 years later (technically 19 years because I was on Tenrou Island for 7 years, but I didn't age) we're finally together. We've been through so much together and, when we got together, we both agreed it was a long time coming.

To most people, he's quiet and distant, but to me, he's kind and sweet and gentle. Even during sex, he's so careful and won't do anything without a condom, so I'm grateful. Especially since I only lost my virginity two weeks ago. I wanted to lose it before, but he wouldn't let me until I was completely ready. But I respect him more than anyone, so I listened. And he's promised me, one I turn 22, in three months, he'll marry the hell out of me.

One day, I'm sat in the guildhall with my best friend, Natsu, he's quiet for once. Usually he's up fighting with my other best friend Gray, but today Natsu's quite calm. At least I can eat my strawberry cake in peace for once without it getting knocked on the floor and destroyed. God knows how many times I've gotten mad at everyone for ruining my precious cake.

I finish my cake and yawn. "I fancy strawberries!" I say to Natsu.
My best friend smirks. "You always want strawberries, Erza."
"So? I want more!"
He laughs and pets my head.
"Don't do that!"
He panics and says, "Yes, ma'am."
I smiles sweetly. "Good."
Then, my attention is drawn to the doors of the guildhall. There stands Jellal. I grin, stand up and run over to my boyfriend, jumping into his arms.
He spins me round and then, after placing me on the ground, kisses me. I kiss him back with passion.
I look up at him. He's a lot taller than I am, but he is technically 9 years older than me.
He used to be 2 years older, but when I spent seven years on Tenrou, not aging all that time, and he was still here, he got seven years older - so he's 9 years older. He's thirty and I'm twenty-one. He pets my head like I'm a cat. I nuzzle into him. I don't do that to anyone but him. He's practically claimed me at this point and it feels great.

It makes me sound naïve, but I think I truly love him...

Two weeks later, I come back from a job with Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Happy and Carla. I'm exhausted, so I go back to my room at Fairy Hills while the others go straight to the guildhall. I actually just want to go see Jellal - he said he'd be there when I get back from the job.
I open the door and call, "Jellal, I'm home."
No reply.
I look around the whole apartment and he's not there.
Tears brim my eyes. I hardly ever cry. I don't want people to see the vulnerable. The only people I cry in front of are Jellal, Natsu and Gray.
"Jellal..." I whisper. He swore he's be here. He broke his promise. How could he do that?
I sit on my bed and hug my knees.
I cry myself to sleep.
