After that incident ..... I was emotionally broken , I was like a soulless puppet , doing whatever others were doing . All I know was Raven found out about the kiss ... Hell all the school students found about the kiss . Luckily the picture did not go viral , as some anonymous person removed that picture from the school page . After seeing the pic Raven was furious , he even punch Jellal with out hearing their side of the story .... I really feel bad when I think about that time but most of all when he called scarlet as "slut".... But most of all .... I regret showing that pic to Raven . I wish I didn't post that pic ..... I wish I kept my head cool ...... I wish I can change my wrong done ... Scarlet was crying furiously begging Raven to hear their part of the story . Even Jellal begged him to let scarlet explain about the kiss . But at that time Raven was so furious to even listen to himself .... All he felt at that time was to cry , to someone take away his pain .

All I heard and remember was

"Raven !!! Please I beg you hear me out ... It's a complete misunderstanding .... It was before you confessed . And it was mistake " scarlet confess ....

That time I saw two painful eyes that one can ever see . Eyes of Scarlet begging her love to believe her . And the other was the eyes of Jellal hurt by scarlet words 'mistake' he clutched his broken heart as if it was ripped away . But he also know that it was true but it was hard for him to accept it .

The other eyes was between conflict and raged .... He didn't know what to act and what to feel . In the heat of the moment he said the word , he will regret saying "slut !! " He said in pure hatred . But when he saw scarlet crying and shock face , he regret saying it . He was speechless , how can he be so careless saying that word to the one he love the most . Jellal was furious now ... He was about to punch Raven but scarlet stopped him "man!! What's your problem ... Accusing someone without knowing the truth ... Yes I do love scarlet but she chose you ... Cause you know what?? She love you !!! Only you ! And telling this to her that she is a slut well you have some kind of screw loose ... Just die " Jellal shout at Raven . He was in shock state .... He look at scarlet than at Jellal. But most of all what shock him was scarlet smiling and mouthed him 'I love you' .

Jellal did not want scarlet to be humiliated any further as the whole school was looking at them and whispering and mostly accusing scarlet ,mocking her calling her name's like 'slut' ... 'i always knew she was having affairs with some other guys ' ... 'i saw her with some old man going inside a hotel ' rumours started to spread , mostly negative .... The only ones who believe her was her friends . They look at her with pity , they stood out for her, but their voice was block by all the other voices . He grip her wrist and pulled her with him . Raven was speechless ... He wanted to reach out to scarlet and hug her , he wanted to believe what scarlet said.... but he couldn't as both his mind and body was frozen . He saw scarlet going away from him , slowly and slowly disappearing from his view . That was the last time we ever saw her .

And little did anyone notice that Lyon also went missing .

After that humiliating and heartbreaking incident in the school . Scarlet completely lost it , she was slowly going crazy . she lost a piece of herself that day . She would wake up in the middle of the night , because of the night mare , the memory of that day still remain fresh in the memories . Jellal was always there for her by her side never leaving her even for one minute . She build up an anxiety inside herself , wanting to commit suicide . Because of all that happened ... During first week she received a lot of negative message and criticism about her in social media, she completely broke down after that.... She lost the brightness in her eyes , that sparkle everyday . So Jellal had her move in with him and went to some other place far away from the school and their old life . Hoping that it will help her .... Hoping that she will return to her old self . He missed her old self everyday . When he see her lifeless not doing anything , not smiling , not talking and not playing pranks on him , he wants to cry , he wants her to come back ..... He silently cry every night , holding her close .... Hoping one day .... Everything will be just fine .

"I miss you .... " Jellal whisper .

She was so close to him , yet so far away .... She was right beside him but it felt as if there was a million distance between them . Her eyes was only looking at him like he is the only one but her eyes seems lifeless .

" Scarlet
I wanted you to only look at me but not like this
I wanted to hold you but what's the use if you don't hold me back
I wanted you to be always by my side but not as a lifeless being
I wanted you to smile and talk only to me but I never ask to stop " tears started streaming down his eyes , crying on her shoulder ... All he can do was to wait .... For her to recover . He felt completely useless .

He regret asking scarlet to join Fairy high ... He regret not being able to confess his feelings earlier.... He regret not taking any actions that day . He regret leaving her alone even for one day after that incident ....

On the other hand ~

Raven was also completely broken , he stopped talking , smiling and hanging out with others .... Natsu and others were worried for him . So they decided to investigate and found out something , they never imagine coming .... Natsu called Raven one day and asked him to come to his house sounding very serious . Raven went there without knowing what life had in store for him . Natsu and others were very serious , Raven thought something bad happened and ask them" what happened " ... Laxus clear his throat looking at him with fury eyes "Look at this " he said showing the picture , he never want to see in his life "what's you deal !!! Why are you showing me that shit " Raven said in fury "look here punk !!! Look at the date below " Natsu said irritated by his sudden outburst , Raven look carefully and was shock , he was speechless , the pic was dated 5/02/2017 , he remembered confessing to scarlet at 1/04/2017 ... That means the pic was 1 months old before his confession . A sudden realisation hit him like a truck , that scarlet was saying the truth ... How can he so blinded ?? How can he not trust her even for a sec and excepting what others were telling and what others were showing ... How can he not trust the only person he ever loved .... He broke down crying ... How can he be such a fool not to noticed that . He regreted not believing her , he regreted everything he had done and said . He weep like there was no tomorrow . His friends look at him with pity ..... Raven look up and whispered "thank you " and left to Scarlet's apartment only to be welcome by silence. He did have a spare key that she gave him , just incase he wanted to come to her apartment. He went there and look at the empty apartment ... Crying his heart out "I'm sorry !!! Please! Please..... Comeback .... Please .... I'm sorry " his heartbroken voice echo in the empty room , which was once his lovers home . Which was once his home .

He missed scarlet everyday ... How he wished he never said those words . He wanted to see her again and tell her how sorry he was . He heard that scarlet and Jellal transferred somewhere else but that did not stop him from searching her , everyday he would go through every social media hoping to find any clue but alas both of them block their accounts on every social media ... He even ask everywhere hoping to find some clue of where they are but no one knows where they are . He rent scarlet old apartment hoping to find something but he did not find anything except for some of her things , which he treasure it .... It was too painful for him to wake up in her apartment , reminding him everyday that she was gone , because of his stupidity . He deserved it .... He deserved every punishment but he hope that one day he will find her and that his feelings will reach him .

Year passed and he finally graduated from high school . He did not stop searching for her ....

When I close my eyes all I see is two torture souls .... Badly hurt both mentally and emotionally . I cannot sleep at night thinking of their crying faces . My heart pains a lot , all I can do was to feel pain and nothing else and I accept it as my punishment .
