The Ghost Bride

Chapter nine

Third person

Lucy and Loke walked together in silence. Lucy was so nervous but Loke was smirking. "You're really pretty, y'know?" Loke said with a smile. Lucy's cheeks blew up in red. "What do you want to do?" She asked nervously. Before Loke could answer someone interrupted them. "Loke?" A female voice asked. "Loke, is that you?" The woman got closer. She honestly looked like a slut. She was in a skin tight, purple dress that barely covered her panties, black flats, her hair was down two buns, and way too much makeup. "It is you." The girl grabbed Loke's shoulder. "Who's she?" The girl asked coldly and pointed at Lucy. "This is Lucy. Lucy, this is-"

"Lila, pleasure." Lucy slowly shook Lila's hand. "So, are you his new play thing?"

"His what?" Lucy asked shocked. "Loke is a player, he paid me $100 to be his thing for a month. How much is he paying you?" Loke looked pale. "He's paying me nothing, I'm not that kind of girl. Goodbye, Loke." Lucy turned around and walked away. She passed all her friends, Mira and Erza who just got face painted, Gray and Natsu who were cuddling at a table, Juvia who was with Meredy, Freed and Laxus who just finished eating some funnel cake, and Sting and Rogue who were playing games. They followed her when they noticed their sad expression. "Luce!" Natsu called. She turned around to face them. 

"Are you okay?" Gray asked. "No, I need to find Levy." Everyone nodded and watched Lucy walk away. Lucy reached the jeep and heard muffled cries.She got closer. "Levy?"

Lucy's P.O.V

Levy was crying quietly. She looked up at me with red, puffy eyes. "Are you okay? Where's Gajeel?" I already knew the answer. "Gajeel doesn't love me, he loves you." I didn't know what to say. So I got into the jeep and hugged Levy tightly. "L-Lucy?" Levy stuttered. I started rubbing her back and hummed a soft tune. Soon I started singing Soul Sister.

"Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my left-side brains

I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you
Blow my mind

Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

Hey, soul sister,
Ain't that Mr. Mister
On the radio, stereo?
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey, soul sister,
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do tonight

Hey, hey, hey,

Just in time,
I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection,
We can't deny

I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna
Blow your mind

Hey, soul sister,
Ain't that Mr. Mister
On the radio, stereo?
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister,
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do tonight

Way you can cut a rug
Watching you's the only drug
I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of

You see
I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be
With me

Hey, soul sister,
Ain't that Mr. Mister
On the radio, stereo?
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey, soul sister,
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do tonight

Hey, soul sister,
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do tonight
Hey, hey, hey, tonight
Hey, hey, hey, tonight."

Levy's cries calmed down. "Lucy," Levy spoke up. "Yeah?" I asked and looked at her. "Thank you, you're the greatest friend I could ever have." For some reason my heart retched. I smiled. "M-me, too." Levy and I spent the next two hours sitting side by side, holding hands, and talking. "So what are you going to do about Gajeel?" I asked. "Lucy, maybe you should go out on a date with him." I froze up. The memory of Gajeel cornering me and pulling down my shirt sleeve filled my mind. Tears filled my eyes. "NO!" I screamed. Levy looked at me with wide eyes. "Lucy?" I sobbed and hugged her. "He tried to make a pass at me! H-he cornered me, he tried taking y shirt off a-and-" 

Levy cut me off with a peck on the lips. I stared at Levy in shock. "I-I'm so sorry." Levy looked at her hands. "No, I needed that." I hugged Levy tightly. "You're my best friend." My stomach felt weird when I said the words friend. "Yeah, you're my best friend, too." Levy whispered. Her grip on my hand tightened.
