Finding Peace (In NaLu)

Chapter 19

Natsu's POV

For some reason, Lucy has been ignoring me lately.

Every time I ask her to hang out she always replies with:

*sorry I'm hanging out with Sting.

-Lucy. **

"Did you hear? " Lisanna said from the kitchen.

"Lucy and Sting chose a date. For their wedding. On Monday three days from now."

For a second I was in denial. Just the other day she told me that they decided to go their separate ways. Not that they aren't allowed to not, but its seems a bit fishy.

"Wanna be my date?" Lisanna asked, in a light voice.

"Sure, why not."

Why is she getting married all of a sudden? And better question, why is she avoiding me?

"It's a formal event. Only a few close people are going to be there." Happy smiled.

"I cant wait to see you in a tux." Lisanna started pinching Happy's cheeks.

"Are you going to the weekend bachelor bash?" Happy exclaimed.

" isn't it at your parents vacation house?"Lisanna added.

"Yep." Happy nodded his head. Part of me wanted to Stay in but I would loooovvveee to party.

Ever since school started its been a buzz kill. This is a fantastic opportunity.

" we can go tonight if you wanna get there early."

"Count me in." Wendy walked through the door.

"And me." Said romeo.

" why don't we all go together." Levy said as she looked at Gajeel.

"I'm gonna text everyone to get there early so we can hang out ahead of time." Jellal said to erza.

Before I knew it, everyone was in my apartment making plans for the rest of the weekend.

Lucy's POV

I've gotten myself in a mess. I'm having one of those moments where you mess up so bad that it hurts your brain to think about it.

I've spent a whole day with Sting and let me tell you, its not easy falling in love again. Especially with someone you taught yourself to hate for two whole years.

I can't end it, again. Jeez what's wrong with me? I was pretty sure about my plan until now. I was so happy that we could be something again but this is just weird.

"What do you wanna watch next?" Sting interrupted my thought. Nothing. I just want to nap.

" you pick." I faked a giggle.
You know what? Maybe I'm just afraid to commit. Yeah that's it.

" you don't have to tell me twice." He clicked on some shark movie.
I stared at him and tried to think positively.

He has a nice face. Nice personality.
Nice hair too. Maybe if it were pink. That would be interesting.

I sat there thinking about what I just thought about and almost laughed.

Maybe you can only truly love someone after marriage. Or after your first child. Ok Lucy, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

There's something missing. There's an emptiness I feel. Is it my parents or my car?

"Are you alright?" Sting asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." I giggled awkwardly.

Ok. I'm going to get married in TWO days and nothings/no one going to stop me. Especially not me.

Auuuggh. Where are they? They should be here by now.

I looked out the window in case they were near. To my surprise, they weren't.

I sat back down and interrogated myself about my weekend plans. Then I got a text from Natsu.

** Hey Lucy, we're really close by.

-Natsu**

NATSU'S POV

Gray and Juvia kept singing along to every song on the radio. Lisanna was playing some trivia card game with Happy. I was still staring at my phone.

I guess I was waiting for a reply, from Lucy. Even just an "okay" would be good enough. I needed to hear that she was doing well. I wanted to know what changed her mind all of a sudden.

She sent me a text back.

** Hey Natsu, can you ask Juvia if she has my red lipstick, she's not answering my text messages.

-Lucy**

I tapped Juvia's shoulder and showed her the phone and she put her thumbs up while still singing.

Lucy's POV

I wasn't in the mood to talk to Natsu. I repositioned my pillow and read his text.

** yes. If that's what thumbs up means

-Natsu**

I plopped my phone on the couch and watched the TV with Sting.

This is going to be one loooonngg weekend, which is usually a good thing.
