I'm not exactly sure why I am crying. Too many things are going on in my brain. I can't comprehend anything. My body was shaking. I feel sick. I can't breath properly.  The world around me started to go dizzy.  Tears filled my eyes and everything looked blurry. Before I knew it everything went black and as I drifted off into a deep sleep.  All I could hear was the sound of Natsu screaming my name.

oOo

The sound of people talking was the thing that brought me back to consciousness.  Little mutters were entering one ear and floating out the other and I found my concentrate properly.  I don't know what happened. I feel confused.  I felt my head throb and I instantly reached my hand up to my head as I opened my eyes. I was laying in one of the futons in our room.


"LUCY!" Natsu shouted. "For the love of Mavis I was so worried!" He said as he pulled me into a hug.

Suddenly all the earlier memories started to piece together.  But one memory seemed to be lost.
All I remembered was the incident with Gray trying to kiss me, and then I ran into Natsu in the hall way and passed out.

"W-what happened?" I asked with a scratchy voice hoping that someone could tell me what I had forgotten.

"You started to have a panic attack out in the hallway and all of a sudden you passed out.  You scared the shit out of me Luce." Natsu informed me as he continued to hold me in a warm embrace. 

I felt so comfortable there in his arms.  All of my worries and pain seemed to disappear.  Although I can't help but feel that I'm forgetting something. 

"Lucy." A serious voice suddenly said from my left.

"Gray." I said feeling awkward. 

"Are uh, are you alright?" He asked scratching to back of his head and averting his gaze.

"Uh yeah I'm fine. I just can't seem to recall much of what happened." I said truthfully.

Gray's eyes widened and he looked relieved.

"Oh, I see."

"We were really worried Lu. Don't do that to us again. " Levy said as she walked up. She pushed Natsu aside and grabbed my hands.

I smiled at the concerned girl to give her reassurance. "Don't worry.  I am fine now.  It won't happen again."

Levy smiled back then gave me a hug. 

"Hopefully we can enjoy and have a peaceful trip without anymore worries now." Lisanna said smiling.

"That would be nice, but it is highly unlikely that it will be a peaceful trip with you lot." Erza said as she walked in with a tray of food. She walked over to me and set it down.  On the plate there was a salad and some sushi along with a bottle of water.  I thanked her quietly before the odd group began to argue again.

"What are you trying to say my darling Rose?" Loke asked which caused Jellal to flinch and glare at him.

"Juvia thinks we should go to the hot springs now.  It is almost 5pm." Juvia announced.
