Chapter 1

Comeback

Two years. Two years and he's back.

Why? Why did he come back?

Is he really back?

A question that wouldn't leave my mind and a question I will not ask him. He left two years ago after we said each other good bye. After I broke his heart and him, letting me go.

I shut my eyes tightly as I remembered it. I'm weak and I can't fight for him that time.

And I'm sure up until now; I still can't fight for him. Him, being here in Magnolia as a University professor tells me that we aren't for each other. It's prohibited. Forbidden. Illegal. It only tells that I can't have what I really want in this cruel world.

And after two years, I still have these feelings for him. It should be gone. How long does the heart can move on? I sighed as I opened the door of my apartment. I live on my own right now. I just moved in last year. Since Gajeel and Levy are serious about their relationship, they decided to live together in a new house. They both insisted me to move in with them. I'd love to but part me tells that I should live on my own. And that's what I exactly did.

It took me quite some time to convince both of them because they seem to worry too much about me. And here I am, living on my own. Independence is what I needed. It's not that I'm going to isolate myself from everyone. I just want to grow up. I feel like I'm depending on the people around me too much. That's why I decided this. To grow, independently.

I opened the door. My apartment isn't that big. There's one room for the bedroom, a bathroom and shower room. It has small kitchen and a bar counter. I have a couch in the living room. Perfectly fit just for me, it's comfy and I like it.

As I've entered, I quickly fall into my couch. I sighed. It's been a long and tiring day. I closed my eyes and put a hand on my forehead. Every moment from the past became memories. And memories fade. Like a photograph, they get old. They blur but why it isn't like that for me?

Suddenly there's noise in my house. I looked around. And down at my bag, it's my phone. I groaned in annoyance. But I thanked whoever the caller is; it distracted me from my painful thoughts.

"Hello? Juvia! where are you?"

My eyes widened from surprise. It's Levy's voice and we're supposed to meet this afternoon. But I skipped my class and here I am, at home.

"Oh God!" I gasped as I sat down. "I'm sorry, Levy. I'm at home."

"Huh? Why? Aren't we supposed to meet? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Levy-"

"No, it's unusual. You never forgot something like these...even if it's just the two of us." Levy said on the other line. I bite my lip. Yes, that is true. I never forgot any meet-ups with friends. I'm not much a forgetful person.

I sighed. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Juvia. I'm just worried." Levy said on the other line. "Well, I'm on my way downtown. I called Gajeel. We'll meet in the café Duran. You should come with us."

"Okay. I'll come with you."

"See you."

I dropped the call. I sighed. I need to go out. I looked around my house. It's quiet. I love this. But right now, I need noises. I need distraction. I don't need these thoughts from the past.

So I got up from the couch and went to my room. I get my towel and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

Two years ago, we were all surprise with him, leaving Magnolia University as well as Magnolia. I felt that it's my fault. The guild was shocked too. He didn't properly said goodbye to them. Mr. Makarov is just the one to tell them, us. Natsu, Erza, and Lucy were furious. I was left broken. I blamed myself for it. But they said it wasn't my fault. It wasn't anyone's fault.
