I can't let you go.

Chapter 22

~LUCY'S P.O.V~
~~At the park~~
"Hey, Luce!! I've got great news!!"

"Temme about it!! Temmeeee!"

"Hahaha! Okie!"

"So, what is it?" We sat on the grass when I asked her the question.

"ME AND GAJEEL ARE A COUPLE!!"

"I'm so happy for the two of you!! Congrats!!"

"Thanks, Luce!!" Then she hugged me very tight.

"Want me to treat you at the coffee shop?"

"Okies! Thanks, Luce!"

~~At the coffee shop~~
"Have you noticed anything about the wind this December?"

"Yea. It got colder."

"Good thing there's a coffee shop close to the park."

"Yea. So that whenever we feel cold we can go here."
~~~~~~
"I'm done."

"Me too."

"Let's leave a tip."
~~~~~~
"Bye, Lev!"

"Bye, Luce!" Then I closed the door.

"How was it, Wifey?"

"It's great. What were you doing when I was away?"

"Just played video games."

"Oh. That's great. Wanna play with me?"

"Awesome!"

~~At the game room~~
"I won!!"

"I'm bad at this." I pouted.

"It's okay! You'll get the hang of it!"

*Ring ring

Who could that be?

"Hello?"

"Lucy! We're moving out."

"Why?! Why the fuck?!"

"Watch your words, missy."

"Remember when you said you wanted to work at America when you were younger? So, there it is!"

"Mom. No. Please. I don't want to."

"Why?"

"What about Natsu? What about my friends? What about them? I'll just leave them here?"

"Lucy, you don't understand. It's not like that. We're coming home after 2 years."

"2 years?! 2 years?! Mom, you gotta be kidding me."

"Sorry, Lucy but we just bought tickets. The flight is on tomorrow."

"I'm not leaving."

"We can't just leave you here. Start packing your things."

"Ugh. Fine."
~~End of call~~

"Wifey? Who was that?"

"It's my mom."

"What's the problem?"

"I-I..." I can't leave him. "Gotta leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?!"

"Yes, hubby. Tomorrow." Then he got close to me and hugged me real tight. He started crying.

"I'm g-gonna be missing you. A lot."

"I-I'm g-gonna miss you too." Then he wiped my tears away.

"Don't cry, Wifey. I promise not to leave you."
