Going back into my apartment all the lights were out and it was silent."Levy?" I called stumbling around trying to find the lamp. After the events that happened with Natsu I could no longer sit or walk properly so giving up on searching for the lights I went straight to my room. Flipping on the lights in there I got my nightgown out and took everything off my bed before deciding to take a shower to wash off the events of earlier. After my shower I decided to continue working on my assignment sitting crosslegged on my bed with a messy bun, my glasses, and my nightgown I displayed all the research and my sources around me and took out my phone to get the voice memos and the video notes. When I looked at my lock screen there were multiple notifications. There were 3 from an unknown number, 6 from Gray, 2 from Levy, 12k from instagram, 24k from twitter, and 18 from Natsu. First I started with Levy, "Hey lu, I was just wondering how your date is or was depending on when you hear this but have fun but not to much" her voice said coming through the phone. "Just so you know I won't be home tonight, I'm going to a friend's dorm to finish up a project and help them study." her next voicemail said sounding a lot more rushed as I heard giggles coming from her. Choosing to ignore the unknown number I went to Gray's messages. -Hey lu, I was wondering if you wanted to get dinner again?- -It's ok if you don't- -call me later yeah?- ~ missed call from Gray~ -WTF ARE YOU DOING ON CHANNEL 3??!!?!- -WITH NATSU DRAGNEEL?? LUCY WHAT'S GOING ON?- Reading these I panicked and ran to the living room going to Natsu's messages and dropping onto the couch turning to channel 3. -I'm trying something new next time look at these and enjoy, cause it'll be you- ~6 missed calls from Natsu~ ~11 attachments from Natsu~ 

"SPOTTED. Natsu Dragneel with blonde mystery woman." the anchor woman said passing the mic to the waitress from the restaurant as a picture of us walking to the doors was plastered in the corner of the screen.

"That bimbo?" She laughed. "Well she was wearing a dress that was obviously too small so she could show off her cleavage and seduce him. She went a little heavy with the makeup to like, sis no one told you to look like a clown. You know what? Based on how they were acting that was probably her job, and he bought the least expensive thing on the menu for her there's no way that he did that for her. He probably did it for himself so when she did what she's getting paid to do she won't be on an empty stomach and hurl on him." She laughed "He also bought the most expensive bottle of wine just for her, he was just throwing all his money at her so he'd have to pay her less when he was done with her. Also so that he'd be too fucked up to see what she looked like" she sneered again a wicked grin plastered on her face where a sweet smile used to be. 

"Back to you john" the anchor woman said after taking the mic back from Katie. After that I turned off the tv and went back to my and went straight to instagram. There were only about 8 post but they were all about me, it was pictures people took of me and Natsu compared to pictures of me from a few years ago. Some people tagged me in the pictures and others had vile captions, at this point my head was spinning and I could feel the tears about to fall. I had hundreds of thousands of new followers and thousands of comments under my pictures along with a bunch of DMs. Going out of that I went to twitter, every single tweet was about me and many of them were sweet but others were just as vile and malicious as Katie and what she said on the news about me. Every news channel and drama source online were discussing what was happening along with other celebrities defending me. 

"Guys none of this is about us or has to deal with us, what Natsu does with his time has no effect on us. And for one I think she looked gorgeous in that dress it was a little tight but in all the right places. Just because she looks good doesn't mean she's a whore." One of the people on TMZ said in a video with a caption saying "#letherlive #sheshuman #heshuman #stop" there were over a million retweets and people were tagging me in it which gave me almost a million followers. Celebrities were IMing me saying it would be ok and everything would blow over soon, but how could it? It's different when you're the topic of discussion and the whole world has something to say. Never would I have even dreamed that I was in this position.

"LUCY OPEN UP! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE! PLEASE LET ME IN!" I heard through my sobs, someone banging on my door. Going over to the door I unlocked it and flung my arms around him. "Lucy" he breathed into my hair sighing holding my head to his chest and his arm around my waist.

"Gray" I choked out as he let me go so he could come into my house. "I don't understand how this happened" I cried dropping to the cold hardwood floor going into the fetal position not caring that my nightgown was ridding up or that I didn't have anything underneath, my hair fell out of it's bun and all over my face and onto the floor next to me.

"It'll be ok lu, eventually everything will be just fine" he said placing a glass of water next to me as I felt him grab me and pull me up in between his legs. Stroking my hair as he held me, he kissed the top of my head and my forehead.Repositioning us so I was now sat crosslegged in front of him he began pushing my hair away he grabbed my face and placed another kiss on my forehead and this time on my nose.

"I'm not a whore!" I cried my mouth dry tears still cascading down my face. 

"I know Luce, I know" he said never breaking eye contact, he smiled slightly and wiped the tears from my face as he picked up the water and gave it to me. "You never have to explain yourself to me" he grabbed my hand not holding the glass and rubbed my hand softly.  

"He called me. He wanted to continue the interview. He called me 20 minutes before picking me up. We didn't have enough time last time. I wanted to know more" I partially lied so I wouldn't have to tell him the actual reason. If I told him what really happened he'd never see me the same, and I couldn't live with myself then. 

"You don't have to explain yourself, ok? I love you." he breathed before stopping, his eyes going wide and his body going stiff. He dropped his hand from my face and retracted his hand from mine. "I'm sorry. I know you just broke up with Sting and I didn't mean for this to happen or for me to tell you like this in such terrible circumstances and I can leave now" he said getting up going to grab his jacket and his shoes so he can leave. I sat there not saying anything before he grabbed the door knob. "Bye Lucy" he whispered. Before he could twist the knob I ran over to him and grabbed his face kissing him. First he was stiff and unresponsive before he dropped his jacket and wrapped his arms around me kissing me back.

"Stay with me tonight. Please?" I asked dropping back to my original height, keeping on hand on his face and the other hand intertwined with his waiting for his answer.
