-The Whispering Sunflowers- {NaLu}

Ch 8: Panises...

~ Natsu's P.O.V. ~

My lungs hurt.

My feet hurt.

My head hurt.

My chest hurt.

My mind was going crazy.

It seemed as if I just wanted to name body parts.
But, the pain truly was all throughout my body.

"Get him! Go! Come on! Kill him if you want to! Just bring him to me!"

I could hear the bloody voice of my father making his guards run after me. Or kill me? Ha, I knew he wanted me dead.
I need to hide, quickly.

"Stop, right there!"

Like I would listen to any of you. Oh god. Quickly. Hide.

I jumped out a window.
Well, there's that.
I landed roughly creating bruises and scrapes on my knees as well as arms.

"Luce?! I need your help! Please! I don't want to be with Lisanna and I want to leave!"

"Luce?! I need you!"

"I fucken want to marry you!"

"I know I can't see you. But I know you are listening!
When Lisanna was coming up the alley or whatever.
I could only picture you in that dress because I...well...want to marry you, have kids with you, and grow old with you and everything couples do!
ARE YOU LISTENING?!"

"In the beginning of you 'speech' You said you knew I was listening, so why are you asking if I am?"

"Because I'm trying to prove a point!"

"That you love me?"

"Yes!" I fell to my knees. My bruised knees.

"Then let me prove mine."

I heard light footsteps and I quickly turned, but to my eye's horror.

The scenery was not one I wanted to see.

It was Luce and she was running towards the guards which had swords in hand.

She turned to me.
Tears in her eyes.
My ears couldn't hear anything.
But I read her lips.

"My point is that. I love you so much that I would die for you. Now. Run. And live."

Tears were starting to peek from my eyes.
Why do my eyes have to see so much pain at such an age?

"Now. Run. And live, Natsu."

The auto came back to my ears when I looked forward and began to run.
I had to do what she said if I loved her.
I wouldn't turn around even if I heard the torturing screams from her mouth.

And like I said. I heard.
Just don't turn around and you will be fine.

My tears were now running as well.
Down my cheeks. I'm a coward---

****

"---And like I was saying. Rachel is pretty cute and she is studying to be a chef which means she makes pretty awesome food, dude."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Natsu are you even paying attention?"
Asked my annoying best friend, Gray Fullbuster.

"Not really." I replied while sipping a drink from my soda.

"Ugh. What I said was that you should ask out Rachel, the girl that just asked if you wanted a refil, our waitress."

"I'm good, Gray. I've told you before that I don't date."

No wonder I got flashbacks of Luce.
He brought up the topic that I don't like talking about, girls.

"Dumbass. You have had some pretty cute chicks that wanted to date you.
But nnnoooo, Mr. Dragneel doesn't date," scoffed the raven haired guy.

Soon after his sentence was spoken. A beeping noise came from his pocket.

"Oh! Look, man, I have to go."

"What happen, Gray? Who texted you? Your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, Juvia just texted me. She said that she is finally ready for our date."

"What about me? I could third wheel," I chuckled.

"Just go to your flower shop, idiot."
He replied and left the restaurant.

"Bye."

Why do those memories keep coming back?

Now?
