Erza POV
Flashback
After the mission on the way back to the guild, I notice that Lucy was quiet and look like she is in deep thoughts. I tried asking her but she just brushed it off. The next few days, Lucy was not in the guild as expected because of her injuries, but few days turn to weeks and Lucy was not at at the guild...that was not expected. I was getting worried so I decided to go to her apartment and but she ask me to leave her alone. Her voice sounds weak and looks like she has been crying. I had the urge to just knock down the door and ask her what happened but I refrained, it was rude so I gave her some time and maybe she will hopefully open up to me?
Even thought I said I give her time but I can't just wait so I go to her apartment everyday but she always give me the same answer every time. I felt hurt that I can't help Lucy.
Lucy was a great friend at first but slowly I find myself wanting her more. For example, sometimes I look at her lips wanting to kiss her when she's talking to me, feeling jealous when Natsu was talking to her and she laugh at his stupid jokes. At first I was so confuse, it was the feeling I felt when I first like Jellal. Till this day, I'm still a little confuse about it but I know that I have a huge crush on her just like I had with Jellal. It feels like I like her more than I did with Jellal. I wanted to confess to her after this mission but the situation now was not good at all.
So just like what I have been doing, I'm on my way to Lucy's apartment to check on her again even though she doesn't want to see me. "Hey Lucy are you ok" I said while knocking her door. 'Why is it so quiet?' I thought then slowly reach for the door knob, turning it. To my surprise the door was open so I decided to slowly enter the room.
"Lucy?"
"Lucy??" I said again but this time louder.
When I reach to her room I saw that her things was all gone. I started to panic, looking her closet, her drawers but I find nothing. None! Then I saw that there was a note on the desk so I quickly took the note and read it.
After reading it I felt something wet on my face I touched my face, am I crying? I felt my heart being ripped apart. Lucy said she was weak but Erza denied it. She was always there to help her whether when it was in a battle or a problem. Erza thought she was strong, stronger than her; Physically and mentally.
So with that she goes to S-class missions that required months. She tried to push the person she loves aside but at the end of the day she still remember her; every single day.
End of flashback
Lucy POV
So here I am, standing in front of the guild looking at the big door. 'Still the same' I thought smiling softly. It's been a few days since I saw Erza and I hope she has returned for her mission. I pulled my hood up covering my face then slowly push the door. Inside was still the same, people drinking beer and talking, laughing but the atmosphere around here is not what it used to be.
"Hey flame brain, watch where you are going!" Gray said. He hasn't change one bit. Well everybody in this guild has not change at all.
"What did you say!" Natsu said while walking towards Gray punching him. The two of them started fighting.
I make my way to the bar dodging the barrels. I saw my more 'sane' friends sitting on the long stool in the bar chatting. Reaching there, I hear Levy say something and her face now look concern. With that my friends went quiet looking down but not for long because Mira seems to notice me. "May I help you?"
"Yeah can I talk to Master?"
"Ok, follow me," She said as she looked at me suspiciously since I still have my hood. I followed her and up and towards door.
