Slight cursing and prepare yourself for a shocking moment...
"Lucy! I need your help!" Yells Levy across the humongous crowd of people surrounding her. I make my way through the crowd and see Lisanna on the floor, crying. Levy sits next to her, holding her hand, and it almost makes me sick. "What happened?" I ask.
Lisanna stares up at me. "It's all your fault!" She shouts, then points at me. Oh goodness, what the heck did I do this time? Levy explains what happened. "Well, Natsu just dumped her." I freeze. "After a five year relationship?" I ask, kind of startled. "Yeah! Because of you!" Levy ignores her and gives me a crazy sign, then points at Lisanna. Thank god she thinks Lisanna isn't telling the truth because if she didn't, I'm done for.
I set my books down on the floor and sit by Lisanna even though I feel very uncomfortable by doing so. This just adds more dramatic stress to my life. "I'll take her to the nurse and you go get the counselor." I tell Levy. I really don't want to see the counselor. Too many bad memories.
I take Lisanna by her really soft hand that I'm sure has been covered with moisturizer 10 times today, and lead her to the nurse's office while I'm pretty sure she's glaring at me. We get there and the nurse has to go get things so she is not in there. Just as I'm about to leave, pink sparkly fingernails dig into my skin. "Even though that little incident happened yesterday, don't expect me to be afraid of you. You WILL pay." She lets go and I walk out of the room awkwardly.
As I walk back down the hall to my next class, I think about what happened. What was the warmth that saved me? Better yet who? And I swear, when I get my hands on that person for stealing my first kiss, they'll be sorry. I just hope it's not Natsu. Why did he dump Lisanna anyway?
I walk into my ELA AP class and sit down in the back to read. And a certain pink-haired boy walks in. Natsu has never had any AP classes, and has never done that well in English Language Arts. So why would he be coming in here? And out of the 29 empty seats that need to be filled, he sits right next to me. This day is just getting weirder by the second.
"That's a good book." He says, then points to my book in my hand that so happens to be The Fault in Our Stars. I never knew Natsu was such a softie. I grimace. Nothing could make this talk any more awkward. "Oh, yeah." I look down at my book while Natsu still stares at me. After a minute, it's starting get annoying and I have to keep reading the same section over and over again because I lose my focus every three seconds.
So I look back up at him. "Uh, are you sick or something?" I ask. He replies with "Nope, I'm as happy as ever. It's a great day outside!" I look outside and it's literally hailing. "Who are you and what have you done with Natsu Dragneel?" I ask, kind of concerned. "I'm right here Lucy!" I look at him. He has the cutest smile plastered across his face.
"Sorry to disrupt your little ray of sunshine Ms. Heartfelia and Mr. Dragneel, but class is starting." Says Ms. Evergreen. I turn pink. Little ray of sunshine? Cutest smile? WTF Lucy!!!
(Don't ask me. Evergreen ships it!)
At lunch Natsu sits by me and asks me to trade my donut for his doritos. I was about to say 'Sorry. There's no way in hell I'm trading a donut for chips.' but instead I was nice and gave him 1/4 of my donut for half of the bag of chips. And guess what he did. He took a big huge bite out of my donut then said "We're sharing. Right?" So for the rest of the school day, I avoided him completely.
He's taking drugs or something.
I walk home through the storm and take the scarf out of my backpack then wrap in around my neck. So warm... "Lucy!" Igneel walks out of Natsu's house. I look over at him and then he says "Natsu wants to see you." What now?!
He leads me inside the familiar house, and up the grand staircase, then opens Natsu's door. He sits on his bed, fiddling with his fingers. Igneel nods his head, then shuts the door. What is going to happen? I stand in the corner of his room, not sure what to do. "Soooo..." I say, trying to break the silence. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Why were you ignoring me today?" He asks. "Um, you were acting weird." I say back. He turns around. "Oh. I was just trying to be nice. I was thinking about what you said yesterday to Lisanna." Then his phone buzzes. And I notice what his phone says.
Drink bleach you ugly bitch.
From...my father. And right then and there I know why Natsu hated me so much. Dad.
Natsu told Lisanna to make up a cover story for why Natsu hated me so much. But the whole time, it was fake. "You didn't actually forget about me." I say. He turns back around. "The whole time, it was a story right? There's no actual thing where you can forget about one thing and then the rest of your memories are the same. You've lied to me all of these years haven't you?" He looks at me about to cry. "Lucy..."
"Because that day you fell, you just had a concussion." Tears find their way down his cheeks. "My dad threatened you. Didn't he." Natsu nods his head. "He said that if I didn't almost kill you, he would kill you himself. Torturing you physically until your body gave up."
My dad is a bad man.
"But why did you bully me and make up this ridiculous story?" I ask him.
"Because I love you Lucy. And if you didn't survive, I'm not sure I would either." Tears roll down my cheeks. I clash into his arms. "I love you so much!" My eyes clamp shut. I don't want to open them. What if this is just a dream?
"So...how bout it? Want to commit double suicide tonight?" Asks Natsu.
I nod my head. "Yes. I would like that more than anything."
