Chapter 65

LUCY'S POV

All day the guild has been worrying about me. everyone has been coming to check up on me In the Infirmary and they have been trying to cheer me up but nothing works. I'm grateful but right now I just have no motivation for anything. 

I haven't seen Natsu since that time and it has already been a day.. he really hates me doesn't he? 

Just that thought alone has been the reason I can't stop crying. 

"Lu?" Levy asked.

"I-I'm fine...." I said sniffling.

Levy looked really sad and concerned...I can't make anyone else worry. 

"I have news." She said. "The council have locked Jeremy away for 5 years and they have locked the charm away too. they're going to find a way to destroy it. Also the Master is being made to pay a 70000 jewel fine because we let Jeremy out. So he is extremely annoyed.

"Hmm." I said.

"And...We haven't seen Natsu anywhere either..." I perked my head up without realising it. when i realised I quickly lowered it.

"I-I see..." I can feel even more tears.....

"I hate seeing you like this Lu, please get better soon." 

I nodded..... But I don't think I ever will.....

Levy smiled sadly and walked out. She knew I wanted to be alone. But more then that I want to get out of here. They aren't letting me leave the infirmary and someone is always checking on me every fifteen minutes.....The charm is gone now so there is no need to worry....

LEVY'S POV

"*sigh* She isn't getting better..." I said with teary eyes. "She just wants to be alone so why are you making people check on her all the time?" 

"You don't know yet?" Gray asked.

I looked at him confused.

"When we were down here and could hear yelling we started to run up to the infirmary, and when we were running up the stairs I heard Lucy yell for....for...Natsu to Kill her.........." Gray finished, his voice shaking.

I gasped and tears starting falling from my eyes. "No.....No.....She didn't mean it though right? It's Lucy, She's always the happiest!" I said trying to convince myself.

"Yes, but levy, you didn't see the state Lucy was in when we got there...." 

I couldn't hold it in. I started sobbing. "There's no way she would even be thinking about that.." 

"That's what we all think, but she is in a really bad way at the moment so we need to look out for her either way." Gray said sadly.

"Oi Shrimp, You alright?" Gajeel said from behind me. I couldn't help it. As soon as i heard his voice i turned around and hugged him. 

"Shri-Levy.....Everything will be fine." He said putting one arm around me.

"*sniff* yeah....."

LUCY'S POV

I hate this. Nobody will leave me alone even for 20 minutes...I'm confined in this room and i don't know what to do.....I just want to leave.... I want to go....home...home? Is there still a home for me to go to? Is he there? 

Stop. I need to stop thinking about him for now. I need to go there either way to get my things.......There is no use worrying about whether he is or isn't there.....First I have to convince the guild that i'm okay.  but i am....I am fine. I'm alright. I'm happy.........really.
