Three months later
Lucy had found herself becoming more used to Gray. He had always made her happier. Even if her going to public places with Gray caused angry glares from his 'fangirls' she didn't care. He made her happy. It was near Christmas time and Lucy and Wendy were at the mall shopping for Christmas gifts. Lucy and Wendy gave each other their gift early to not forget about it since after break Lucy had to study abroad for about two months. Lucy and Wendy were now on their last person to shop for, Gray. The two walked into a men's fashion store. As Lucy searched in a rack of men's shirts, she felt a tug on her arm. When she was pulled down she saw Wendy point to what seemed to be Gray walking into the jewelry store across the street.
"If I remember correctly Oni-chan had said that he wanted to get you a gift from there. He has been saving up since last year. He even worked four jobs two summers straight. " Lucy blushed hard.
"I only knew him for about three months."
"Mam are you getting anything." Lucy and Wendy turned their heads to the angry store clerk. Lucy quickly grabbed a shirt.
"How much for this?"
Thirty minutes later
Right now the girls were sitting at the food court. Wendy eating a slice of pizza while Lucy had her typical burger and fries.
"Four hundred dollars my ass." She said before tossing a fry into her mouth.
"Well, it's seemed like a great shirt."
"It was, that's why it stayed in the store. So it can satisfy other people who thought the same." Lucy sighed and laid her head on the table.
"What am I going to do? Christmas is in two days and I cannot find anything good enough for Gray.
"Gray?" Lucy nearly jumped out of her seat when she heard that voice. She saw Levy Mcgarden her best friend.
"Are you dating Gray, how come you didn't tell me?!?" She then looked at Wendy.
"Is this his sister? She's cute." Wendy blushed and looked at Levy.
"Thanks, Mcgarden-sama, but Lucy-san is not dating my brother. They are just friends as she says." Lucy nodded.
"Not even a crush?" Lucy shook her head.
"Awe, well I can still help you to find a gift for him. " Lucy and Wendy piped up happily.
"Thanks" The two said in unison. As the three searched a present for Gray they spit up. Levy and Wendy while Lucy was alone. As Lucy looked around she saw Gray. She followed him around to get more of an understanding of what he bought her. She lost him but eventually found him kissing a girl. She wasn't from their school but had on a uniform similar to hers but it was blue just like her eyes. She also had black hair. Lucy blushed, it was true he really was a player. Lucy for some reason couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.  She turned around but as soon as she did she had seen the worst person of all time.
"Lucy!" It was Aito. She felt began to tear up and turned back in Gray's direction. She ran past him and the unknown girl.
Christmas
Gray waited for Lucy underneath the giant cherry blossom tree. The snow on it along with the small amount of sunlight made it glow like the night stars. He chose this place to tell her something important.He looked at his watch and noticed that she was about two hours late. He wondered if she was late due to traffic or something but he remembered she didn't have a car. Gray waited two more hours before he decided to leave. He stopped as he heard what seemed to be someone running. He turned around and seen Lucy. He was angry but hid it.
"I'm so sorry, I got caught up at work and my boss wouldn't let me leave." Lucy gave the bag in her hand to Gray.  Gray grabbed it.
"Before I give you your gift I have to tell you something. I like you a lot. I have since last year actually." Gray looked to the side with a blush.
"Gray I'm sorry, but I just don't like you back." Gray felt his heart break.
"It's Eucliffe isn't it? I warned you about him and his ways.  He will hurt you, Lucy." Lucy blushed at the thought. She shook her head.
"Gray it's not like that."
"I knew I shouldn't have told you. I'm an idiot.  I should have moved on like everyone said but I couldn't. "
"Gray I'm sorry "
"You have nothing to be sorry for, Goodbye Lucy. " Lucy was about to grab Gray hand but he moved it away. Lucy went home and got ready for bed. As she laid down, she began to think about the past events. She worked for an extra two hours, bought Gray's gift, came late four hours to their gift exchange, and broke his heart. She didn't mean to hurt him, Lucy actually did like him but didn't want to be hurt again.
