[_Lucy's POV_]
Another day just means one more day closer to the weekend. At least that's what I always say. I pull my car into my parking spot in front of the school. Light blonde hair is seen outside my window. I roll down the window and stare up at the boy and smile.
"Hey Sting!" I grin.
"Hey... How are you?" He asks hesitantly.
"Just perfect now that you're here." I grin even bigger.
"You better not smile any bigger because if you do I think your face will freeze." Sting laughs. "Now get out of the car we're going to be late for first period."
I roll up the window and open the car door and slide up next to Sting while his arm wraps around my shoulder.
Walking into school I see Natsu and his girlfriend, Yukino, chatting with Gray. It's completely obvious Yukino isn't paying attention to a word they were saying because, for some reason, she was looking in Sting and I's direction. Natsu glances at me and I stick my tongue out at him. Sting guides my chin into a position where I'm staring at him then drops his hand. I give him a questioning look and tilt my head.
"I need to talk to you later, okay?" Sting says and looks everywhere but my eyes.
"Ya sure." I say still giving him a questioning look.
"Meet me by the Sakura tree after school." And with that Sting walked off to find his best friend Rouge.
All day I couldn't focus. My mind kept wandering to what Sting might want to talk about. Countless times Natsu tried to pick a fight but I just ignored him and stared out the window at the falling petals of the tree.
<-After School->
I decided to be a nice girlfriend and not be late so I arrived in front of the tree a little earlier than I needed to. I lean my back against the soft bark of the tree and admire the beautiful falling petals.
Five minutes later I look away from the tree and see Sting approaching me. I smiled at him but for some reason his face looked... Sad.
He was standing right in front of me now rubbing the back of his neck. He struggled to say something but after awhile he just looked solemnly at the ground.
"Lucy..." Sting sighed.
"Yes?"
"I...I have to... Break up with you..."
Crack
"What why?!" I say frantically.
"Because I'm not in love with you anymore.."
Crack
"B-But I love you Sting!"
"I'm sorry... I'm in love with Yukino..."
CRACK
And with those last words Sting walked away and never looked back. I was standing there all alone with a broken heart.
I can't take this anymore.
My life is a mess. Just one big joke. I was a fool for thinking that love could ever be real. I was just a child still clinging to that one small thread of hope. Believing in 'fairy tales' and 'happily ever after'. It was all a lie.
There was an intense throbbing in my chest. It felt like there was a bomb inside of me just about ready to explode. I took off running. And I didn't look back. The broken bits of what was left of my heart were bouncing around inside me breaking into smaller and smaller pieces. Until it was gone. The sudden realization made me stop. Hot tears were streaming down my face before I ever knew they were there. I was at a park one mile away from the school. I find a small secluded tree at the back of the park and sit down. I curled up in a ball with my back to the tree. I cried. I cried the hardest I had ever in my life. I cried more than when my family had died. I didn't cry for Sting. I cried because I had given up on love. I cried because I knew there was nothing that could change that.
