FTNG Love

Chapter 2: Hmmm...Let Me Think....

Nova's POV:
"Well maybe if you won't be sticking your di-"

"NOVA!" the whole table said to me as I was fighting with Uncle Gajeel. It wasn't right what he was doing. It just wasn't!!! You see, he took Gale out of the mission we signed up for because Uncle Gajeel thinks Gale is going to hook up with some kinky slut. Excuse me but he isn't that dumb! He does take things seriously...especially missions!! Plus he would be with Reiki...who the Hell doesn't trust Reiki!?

"Uncle, he is going to be Reiki. He will make sure Gale doesn't to something stupid. Honestly Uncle, how can you NOT trust any Fernandes' kids. They're both goody goodies." I said in a snarky way.

"Hey!" They both said. I forgot that they were at the table. Oh well...

"Reiki didn't stop him last time, now did he? He actually promoted it. Don't talk about things that you don't know little girl." said Gajeel. He had that look in his eyes like he just won a big battle and knew he was going to be rewarded afterward. Oh, this battle is just beginning old man.

"Let me think about that moment for a minute old man. Oh that's right. Reiki thought Gale meant something else. When Reiki figured it out, he searched for him and stopped him. Did that slip from your used brain? Your mind is starting to fade already. That makes me wonder how your bedside manner is now." I spit out at him. I crossed my arms and leaned on the table, my hip pressing into the edge. I waited for his remark but he just stood there dumbfounded. Ha! Take that old man!

"Nova, that last part was unnecessary. Just calm down and we will solve this later." Sylvia said to me as she rested her hand on my shoulder.

"I took it too far!?" I told her as I shrugged off her hand. "He took it too far by telling Gale that he can't go!? Sure, I said something bad..whoops. He did it clearly or Gale wouldn't be here. I'm not going to stop until he gets his head out of his rear and let's him go! Gale is a necessity to this mission and Uncle Gajeel is going to ruin it!" I yelled at Sylvia. I didn't mean to yell at her but I was fed up with Gajeel's safety shit.

"Nova, he lied to us while he was on a mission saying he was got up in fighting and couldn't come home for three more days. In reality, he just wanted a few drinks with some friends. A few drinks turned into us to come up there and remove him from the bar since he started eating the metal in the wall." Gajeel said to me.

The NG table started snickering but I shot them a glance and they shut up. I like being older but that isn't the point.

"He did that because he wanted to stay away from the likes of you!" I snapped at him.

"Stop it, Nova. You're blowing this out of proportions." Aunt Levy and Lucy came up behind me and grabbed my arm. I know what they're trying to do. But guess what bitches, I'm friggin mad and now the gated are open.

"Nova that was-" Gajeel started to say but I interrupted him.

"Are you just afraid that another incident like Victoria's death will happen again? That's it isn't it? Well guess what? Every time Gale goes out, there is always that risk of death. You can't stop it old man!!" I screamed at him. I heard a loud gasp from the back and I knew what I had done. I couldn't help it. I didn't realize what I said until I saw Aunt Levy grab Uncle Gajeel's arm and drag him to the back. I really didn't mean to do that honestly!! I looked at everyone and stopped when I saw Rosemary's face. She was pale and her eyes were huge. Tears were swelling in her eyes. Tears!? Oh God, I really messed up. Rose never cries or tears up. The guild followed my eyes and they were shocked too. She walked up to me and I couldn't look at her. Those big brown eyes piercing through me with tears was too much.

"Nova!! You took it too damn far!! Too far!!! You know how much she means to all us. How can you just disrespect her like that!? Why don't you just rip my heart out?? Will that make you feel more triumphant!?" She yelled at me. Everyone was watching her and were just as shocked as me. How dare she say that to me!? I trained her and gave her advice!!! But then again....she never tears up or cries. I was going to say something but she ran out and was wiping her eyes.

"Rose!! Wait!! I'm sorry!!" I yelled after her. "....Fine! Be like that!! Don't come back!!"

Reiki was the first one to bolt out after her then her parents followed. Everyone else just stood there in silence. What had I done?
