Castle On A Hill

Chapter 16

chapter 16

i wake up happy as ever still deciding on what to do with my love life. but i'm just taking a break with that. right now i just gotta feel free in what my life is about. i have breakfast smiling as much as ever. me and lucy are talking but it's awkward but still life goes on. Juvia and gray are happy together but i think she could do better although at least she's happy. Levy and Gajeel are closer than ever, both my best friends dating, weird but cute. i don't get why i'm so happy today. Goodnight sleep maybe, actually it's because it's my birthday and i am eighteen years old. i know what you readers are thinking...a few chapters before i was marked as being eighteen, what author-chan meant was i was in the eighteen year group...so yeah i was still 17 at the time. (silly author chan, confusing my readers like that) anyway, i am going out with family and firends today and it's gonna be fun.

'natsu dragneel to reception please' i run along to the reception happy as ever acting like an exited eight year old and i see my family and friends but no sting?...where is sting?, he can't be off to uni already, it's summer...

as i got closer i see them all in tears. not happy ones either. what's going on?

'what's wrong?' i asked concerned and my mother just walked up to me and hugged me.

'natsu something bad has happened today and it won't be very nice to hear' she explained and i was just scared. what's happening.

'what's wrong'

'it's sting son. He passed away at six am today' that line...i just blanked out, staring at the crying group in front of me. how did he die, it wouldn't be suicide, he's not like that, he was happy, he was going to uni in London, theres no way he would kill himself.

'natsu hunny?' my mom broke my blackout and i just stared at them confused.

'sting's not dead, i don't believe it, I WONT BELIVE IT!' tears flew down my face and my friends walked closer to me.

'dude, we wouldn't lie to you' Gajeel said and i just backed away from all of them.

'IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!, AND YOU TELL ME NOW!, how could you' i felt tears run down my face and just kept backing up.

'Natsu are you alright' Lucy's voice made me jump and i just ran. i don't care how long it took em. i ain't going out now. hell no.

i run to my room and just collapsed on my bed crying. my heart feels like it's just been ripped out of my chest, i didn't even let them explain about how he died...who cares death is death. i then walk to the window and walk on the balcony.

'THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU TAKE BOTH OF MY BROTHERS AWAY FROM ME. WHAT THE HELL IS YOU RPROBLEM. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO STOP YOU FROM TAKING MY FAMILY AWAY FROM ME...WHAT'S NEXT, MY NEFEW, MAVIS, LUCY, MOM OR DAD, SINCE YOUR HAVING A SLEPNDED TIME KILLING MY FAMILY GO AND CHOOSE YOUR NEXT VICTEM!' i yelled at the sky blaming god for his actions. even though i feel like he's not the cause of it, but i was just angry and upset. 'are you enjoying this or something?' i cried leaning on the balcony.

'Natsu?' i turned and saw lucy and she was crying too. 'i know how you feel'

'no you don't, no one does'

'yes i do, you feel angry, scared, alone, devistated. i know how you feel'

'i don't need your help Lucy'

'but i needed yours. when my mother died two years ago, you were there for me, and thats what made me fall in love with you because you were helpful, kind, supportive and you put a smile on everyones face. you cured me from being broken and hurt' i watched the blonde cry and hug me but i just stood there not knowing what to do.
