Room Mates (NaLu)

Chapter 13 ~ Left Alone

"Lucy?"
"Lisanna?"

I sat, staring at the girl I once knew.

"Is... is that really you?" She asked, her voice was shaking a little.

I nodded nervously, my sweaty palms twitching on my lap.

"uhm, you two know eachother?" Asked Mira, face puzzled from the whole situation.
"Yeh, what did we miss?" Added Gajeel, also looking rather confused.

"We were really good friends..." I trailed off, eyes still on Lisanna. A few seconds of silence passed.

"Excuse us." Exclaimed Lisanna suddenly. She grabbed my hand and pulled me from my seat towards a door saying 'employees'. She gestured to a waiter to serve our table before entering the small room and pulling me in with her.

Her arms wrapped around me tightly in an embrace. Her face was burrowed in my hair as quiet sobs escaped her.
"I've missed you so much" she cried. I wrapped my arms around her in return. "I'm really sorry for what I did" she carried on.

Memories that had once been blocked out flooded back, the feeling of tears prickled at my eyes.

"Why did you leave?" Was all I managed to get out.

"I'm sorry. I was scared" she unleashed me from my hug and looked me in the eyes; tears still falling down her face. "After what I did to you, I couldn't forgive myself so I left and went to live in England for a year. By the time I'd came back, I had realised my mistake of leaving... but I guess it was too late"

"You were my best friend..." I trailed.

"I'm so sorry Lu, especially as I knew everything you were already going through." She looked into my eyes, tears streaming down both of our faces. "Can you forgive me?"

"Of course Lis" I said to her softly. I gave her a small smile. "Everyone makes mistakes, right?"

She hugged me a second time, tighter than before. I hugged her back before breaking it and grabbing both her hands. I gave them a gentle squeeze, before telling her that I had to return to the table and that I'd call her later. I exited the room and made my way to the table, looking at my feet as they walk. Good thing I didn't wear any makeup today.

Next thing I know I'm on the floor - A wild Natsu on top of me.

[Critical hit]

"Oh god I'm so sorry!" He said whilst helping me up. "I was going to see if you were okay and wasn't looking."
I laughed a little before grabbing his hand and pulling him in the direction of the table.
"It's fine, I wasn't looking either!" I replied.

I could tell he was looking at me curiously. He stopped in his tracks, making me come to a holt too. I turned around to look at him.

"What?" I asked as he carried on studying me.

"You've been crying. What happened? Are you okay?" He fired questions, voice laced with worry.

"Im fine. It's nothing" I assured, not wanting to think about what happened anymore. He carried on staring at me with knowing eyes.
"I'll tell you later..." I gave in before dragging him to the table.

The night consisted of lots of food, laughter and reminiscing moments at the water park; however, eventually came to a close.

"Bye guys! See you tomorrow!" Me, Natsu, Erza and Levy waved to the others as we walked through the parking lot to Natsu's car. We got in the car, Levy and Erza seated in the back once again. Eventually we set off home.

"Today's been great!" Levy said from the back seat. I looked at her reflection to see smile tugging at her lips and a light blush covering her cheeks. I giggled before replying.
