The promise made but never kept

Chapter Forty Six

It's been a month.

It's our graduation tomorrow.

It's also been a month since the last time Natsu and I last talked.

Mom knows that Natsu and I got into a fight.

She found me crying when I ran to my room.

All I said was 'Natsu' and she immediately understood.

She refused to let Natsu in our home at the moment.

She took his spare key, as well.

He tried his best to talk or contact me, but I refused to see his face at this time.

Seeing him with her non-stop, makes my chest feel extremely heavy.

I know that I have no right to feel this way, but I just couldn't help it.

I pulled my laptop and contacted dad.

"Hey dad!" I greeted.

"Oh hey, Lucy!" he greeted, smiling.

"Dad, are you inside the car?" I asked.

"Maybe?" he stated nervously and I shrugged it off.

"Uh dad... about your offer..." I stated nervously and he sighed heavily.

"I understand, sweetheart. I know I was asking for too muc-" I cut my dad off.

"We're going, dad." I flashed a sincere smile at him and he just looked at me, still not processing what I meant.

After a whole two minutes, my dad started to grin from ear to ear.

"My family's coming back to me!" he cheered and I chuckled.

"I'll be home soon, I'll be picking you and your mom after graduation!" he rejoiced in triumph.

"Did you already decide in which course you'll take?" he asked.

"I did!" I wore my most brilliant smile and he looked exceptionally pleased.

"I see. Tell me about it soon, okay?" he smiled.

"Okay, dad! I've got to prepare for the graduation ball!" I smiled and he chuckled then waved goodbye.

After a few minutes, someone rang the doorbell and Virgo opened it.

I sneaked a peek, only to see my dad holding his laptop while smiling.

"Oh my God! Dad, you said you'll be here after graduation!" I rushed to give him a bear hug.

"Did you seriously think, I'm going to miss out on my daughter's graduation?" he chuckled.

"This is the best graduation gift ever!" I exclaimed excitingly.

"What's the commotion abou- HONEY!" mom screamed on top of her lungs while jumping up and down, before dashing towards us to join the group hug.

Right after chatting, I left mom and dad to give them some alone time.

I went straight to my room and looked for a dress to wear at the graduation ball.

Before I leave Japan, I decided to make a change something about myself.

I asked mom and dad for permission before leaving, they agreed but they were a little surprise at my request for a makeover.

I went straight to the mall with my sunglasses on.
