Tough Iron Heart (Book 1)

Chapter 12

FAIRY TAIL BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA!

Lucy's pov
I suddenly gained consciousness, but couldn't see anything it was pitch black.
"It's alright she will be FINE!"I heard a man say.
"Oh really then why isn't she awake?"I heard a voice say and I recognized it immediately, Gajeel.
"I am awake."I tried to say, but no words came out.
"Please Lucy wake up I know you've been out for only two days but please wake up."He pleaded.I was so upset about him wanting me back and me not being able to say anything that I wanted to cry, but still no tears would present themselves.
"Gajeel I miss her too but you really need to rest you haven't slept for almost three days now."I recognized that voice too, Levy.

*4 days later* (one week)

Everyone in the guild has come by to see me, even Laxus has been here.
Levy brings flowers everyday and Gajeel is here when no one else is.
I don't know why I can't move or do anything I know I got shot twice in the stomach and once in the head and I'm surprised I made it through that, but now it seems there is no reason for me to keep going.
"Hey."I heard Gajeel say.
"I really miss you Lucy and I don't know if you can hear me or not, but I love you."Gajeel continued, his voice breaking up.
"I-I'm just sorry I couldn't protect you I was standing right there and you still got hurt this is all my fault."He blamed himself.I wanted so badly to tell him how I felt, and how it wasn't his fault.
I knew I couldn't, I knew I wouldn't be strong enough to tell him how I much I miss and right now I just wanted to let go and let him be the last person I hear before I die, that was until I heard something no one has ever told me before.
"Lucy please wake up I miss you I need you I love you and even if you don't believe me, I want to marry you start a family with you I want to stay with you until the end of time so please stay alive, not just for your friends or for me, but for yourself too."He said with the most emotion I have ever heard him express.This is it, this is why I NEED to live, be strong, and wake up.

Gejeel's pov

"For yourself too." I finished.I loved her so much and I missed her so much that I figured I should tell her how I feel, while I still had the chance.Still no response I sat there for a few minutes wondering what I should do I can't go on like this I sleep every other day for about 3 hours and even still I'm at the hospital every second I'm allowed.That's what I was thinking about when it happened.

Lucy's pov

I could tell Gajeel was still upset and he might not have known I have heard everything he just said, but I did.That's why I gathered all of my strength,every little bit I had and grabbed his hand.As soon as I did, I heard him gasp.
"Lucy?" He asked with hope.
"G-ga...jee-el"I managed to say.
"I-I'm here, Lucy I-, what do you need anything food water a blanket?"
"Gaj-e...el"I said stronger this time.
"I can get a nurse or I could call your friends or-"
"Gajeel."I demanded.
"What?what is it?"he asked.
"I...I need...y-you."I stuttered.
"M-me you need ME?"he questioned.
"Yes,of course...I do."I finished.
"Okay then I'll stay with you."
"Hey Gajeel?"I asked.
"Yeah?"he responded.
"Why is it so dark?"I asked.
"Is the light off or do I have a bandage on or something?"I finished.
"You can't see anything?like nothing at all?"he questioned.
"No why what's wrong."I asked.
"Oh my god Lucy I am SO SORRY this is all my fault."Gajeel said before he started to actually sob.
