Platinum Love (Jerza fanfic)

Chapter 12

ERZA'S POV

After my self created anger had washed away i made my way out to the balcony located on the second floor, it was restricted but i am the chief of police so i have been granted access.

The workers worked on the new prisoner exercise area while talking and laughing at the same time.

Lucy and Natsu were holding coffee side by side walking in the garden both looked to be extremly happy.

When have i ever been that happy? Oh right 10 years ago, now i have forgotten what happiness even feels like.

Propping my elbows on the balcony i continued to stare at the landscape around what i call my whole life.

It really isnt much. I observed everything for who knows how long but the ringing of my alarm brought me back to reality.

Guess its time to grab dinner for Jellal. Maybe i shouldnt be this close to my prisoners after all i've been through. I have to keep my distance.

I was stumped, i mean Jellal didnt deserve me to be cold with him expecially after all he's done for me that would be too inhuman.

I guess i couldnt get that close but at the same time not completely ignore him i just have to be like regular prison guard maybe strike a conversation once or twice but other than that nothing can happen.

I'll have to try not to blush and to act cold which would probably be the hardest part since he was one of the only people who ever really kept me company and didnt judge me.

You can do this Erza i thought.

Grabbing his dinner i made my way down the same rock stairs and before long i was standing in front of his cell door.

Pressing in the pin i waited for the door to slide open and once it did i took deep breaths trying to keep myself together.

"Erza your here i was wondering when you would come?" Jellal stood up from where he was sitting and he dusted off his pants before he was standing in front of me.

Well here it goes time to act.

" Jellal Fernandes i would much rather prefer you call me Miss Scarlet or Chief since we are two very different people." I knew how much it would hurt him but i had to do it.

I look of confusion covered his face but he made no attempt to question me instead he just gave me a nod and his eyes were covered with sadness.

"I understand Miss.Scarlet" He sat back down on the ground which he then raised his head to the ceiling staring at it and shaking his head.

I knew i probably hurt him really bad and most of all i felt bad that he had to deserve all this, many police officers would be disappointed in me because i care so much for a mere prisoner but he was someone who wasnt just a mere prisoner in my eyes.

But he's just a prisoner right should i be caring that much?

"Your probably hungry so i brought dinner" I placed the dinner on his bed not daring to look at him, i dont want to see how much i had hurt him.

"Thank you, you really shouldnt have taken this job if you hate me that much" He stared at his dinner not looking at me, i wonder if he knew how much he could have hurt me with those words.

"I dont hate anyone" I fixed my face before placing my hands on my hips.

"You dont have to lie to me there's no need and you shouldnt care what i think of you because i wont judge." He picked up the fork before stabbing quite roughly if i may add to a broccoli. It looked like stabbing the broccoli somehow showed how angry he was.

"Who said i cared about what you thought?" I hated being cold to him because extreme guilt always flooded me, he really didnt deserve it.

"No one"

There was an awkward silence after and i knew i had said the wrong thing but what has to be done has to be done. Short pain is better than long pain i reminded myself.

"You should go you dont want the other police officers to find out your hanging out with a criminal do you?" He continued to eat the broccoli and vegetables this time just regular eating.

"Who cares what they think its not like anything is happening" I rested my hands in my pocket trying to look like i didnt care about what he thought but the truth was i cared a lot more than ever.

"I am fully capable of attacking you in about 5 seconds possibly even kill you do you still want to stay in here with me alone?"He stood up and took a step toward me. His voice was cold as ice and his eyes showed no emotion not the regular happy face but one that was ice cold. My face was in shock from his sudden statement especially his cold tone.

" You wouldnt dare" My voice cracked a bit but most of me was still full of doubt i mean i know how to fight plus Jellal would never hurt me...................but i hurt him.
