Scene 4
Narrators POV
Lucy cried alone in the empty room all night and eventually cried herself to bed.
Meanwhile, Gray, Natsu, and Gajeel went out to the bar and got wasted. Gray and Natsu made a bet over who drinks the most alcohol.
Drink after drink..with Gray passing out first, Natsu began to celebrate. "I am the victor-" and with that, everything turned black.
Gajeel finds his friends on the floor and laughs. "Hmm, dumbasses." He dragged them by their legs posing cool for the ladies." see you later, hotties." He winks and the girls faint.
Natsu's POV
The next day.
I wake up with a shit headache and awful stomach pain.
I put my hand over my mouth and run to the toilet.
"Ughhhh" I sit there puking.
"Fucking drunkovers are shit. But I won. Aha, suck on that Gra-" I began to puke again.
After a nice shower,I change clothes and do my hair.
I pick up my clothes to throw them in my laundry basket. Goddamn those stinks,I made a foul expression.
I head downstairs.
I wonder how that blonde is doing..damn Natsu why did it have to happen this way. After What I've done, there's no way I can ever rekindle myself. I must see her, make sure she's doing okay.I know it is my fault, everything is!
I'm such a klut—
Before I knew it, I bump into a wall, causing my nose to burst with blood."uhhhh" I creak. "Today is just not my damn day..."
I grabbed some tissues and waiting a couple of minutes but the blood wouldn't stop.
I'll go to the Dragneel nurse, who also one of my great friends, Lisanna.
I grab a few more tissues and speed off to find Lisanna.
I see Jellal walking around casually with his hands in his pocket. Jellal was always the quiet one, who likes to keep to himself. He's been quieter than usual now that Erza is off in college.
"Yo bro" he turns to face me.
" oh hey Natsu" he paused."What happened to your-" he points to my nose.
I stopped him. "Ykno where lis is?"
He continues to point at my nose. "Um she's in the basement with the maids..." he says confused.
"Thanks, man, later!" I ran out
I go to the basement and find Lisanna talking to a certain blonde.
I straighten up. "Sup Lis,"
She flinches and turns, "hey Natsu!" She sighs in defeat.
Her eyes land on my bloodied nose."What happened?!" Her eyes widened.
"...I walked into a wall." I felt my face warm.
She laughs uncontrollably "Y-y-you're such an idiot" she chuckles.
"Oi quit it, "I slapped myself on the forehead.
"Go," she pointed to a seat "sit down and get more tissues."
"I don't lay down?" I said dumbfounded.
"Of course not! Laying down can cause you to swallow blood and can irritate your stomach!" She informs me. I made a disgusted face.
"Okay..." I walk over to the seat staring at the blonde from my peripheral vision.
"Anyway, this isn't your permanent room.." I thought Lis was talking to me but was talking to the blonde. I begin to eavesdrop on their conversations.."It's pretty gross here, huh?" The blonde nods her head slowly and mumbles "yeah.."
"The new rooms will be much suitable, I promise!"Lis paused and smiled assuringly. "You ladies should be moving into the new rooms today! So what made you work here?"
Shit shit, I hope she doesn't tell.....fuck, I'm screwed..
She briefly glances at me and fidgets. "I-I need the money."
Phew
"Oh.." Lis paused. "Well do you want to be...friends?" Lisanna claps her hands.
"Um...O-okay!" She looks at Lisanna with a sly smile.
They laugh together, and I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulder.
I wish we could be friends..too bad I fucked that up for good.
"My name is Lisanna" she smiles warmly.
I can see the blonde hesitate to reply. "A-and I'm Rika." She fidgets again.
"Nice to finally meet you, Rika!"
She hands her some clothing and a towel.
"Likewise..t-thank you."
"Natsu" Lis questions.
I sit up straight, "Yes?"
"There's something different about her." She says suspiciously.
"What are you talking about?" I played dumb.
"Don't play dumb Dragneel." She grabs my collar. "I know when there's something wrong. All the girls who have stepped foot in here were determined to earn money to help their family. She walks in here with no dedication, no urges to earn money, its as if everything she said was a lie." Her grip tightened. "Those tears yesterday were obviously alarming! No girl comes here crying, but one without a will might!" She rolls her eyes. "You know how long it took me to finally get a word out of her, Dragneel?" She hissed. "For her to finally trust me.."
"So tell me; What the hell are you up to?" She asked gritting her teeth.
"Pff, none of your business," I growl.
"It is my damn business." She said back, letting my collar loose.
"Just stop talking Lisanna..you're just so damn noisy."
"Oh please, Dragneel." She says scornfully. "The world doesn't revolve around you, so quit always acting as if it does!"
