Lucy POV
It's painful, it hurts, please somebody help me. Help me to take away my attraction towards her, it's sucking me in every time with her beauty and I'm attracted to her; like a moth attracted to the flame. Unfortunately for me, I'm the moth and her beauty, her courage, her kind hearted soul and her passionate love of strawberry cakes captures me.
But it seems that her source of happiness does not come from me, well some of it comes from me but not the way I wanted. I wanted her to look at me as if I'm the only person who makes her the happiest in the world, who can make her laugh and smile.
Unfortunately for me, her happiness source came from her boyfriend; Jellal. In the past one year a lot of things happened. From being happy where we just talked until morning to being forced happy around her with no more time for bonding sessions with each other. And the cause was her current boyfriend.
I don't really know or want to know how she found him but it was heartbreaking to know the fact, that she was taken. She kept on talking about him everyday and every time it hurts no less like something sharp keeps on poking my heart. I smiled and laughed even though I don't know what I'm laughing about. I was just going with the flow.
By now, you could say I'm kinda used to it because it's already been one year but in reality it still hurts. I have been in love with her since we were kids but that's a story for another time.

Grabbing my towel and water bottle, I head towards the showers. Boy today was a tough day, the coach just keeps on chewing our ass off for the upcoming tournament.
I sighed in contentment when the water hit my face, my muscles are aching and I wanted to do nothing else but to sleep. Unfortunately, I had to meet up with Erza after this since we haven't seen each other in a long time and she misses me so I can't argue with that. Trying not to think too much about her, I quickly hop off the showers, dried myself and put on just a black tank top and grey short pants. I grabbed my duffle bag and fish out my car keys.
I like driving, just driving through the endless blocks of buildings especially at night where the lights are up. You could just see streaks of colorful lights passing by. I usually drive at midnight where the cars are less and can speed up whatever I like; unless you are living in New York that is. But it's refreshing when I open the window, letting the wind hit my face, washing all my worries away.
Back to reality, I stopped at Erza's place, parked my car and went out of it. I knocked on the door a few times but was left unanswered, I was puzzled. I came at the exact time Erza wanted me to but apparently she didn't hear? I kneel down-and no I wasn't doing anything stupid- to the doormat and took the spare key out. I complained to Erza that it might be dangerous to put her spare key there but maybe I should complain more so she will listen?
Anyway, I open the door and the lights were all out except for her bedroom. So I slowly walked and when I reached I heard her laughter that makes my heart flutter and I was going to make my appearance but next to Erza was the shit head that have tattoos everywhere, like seriously who tats all over their body- don't ask me how I know but I know- not to offend anyone.
I don't know how to make my appearance so I took a deep breath and knocked twice. The laughter stopped and a small 'come in' was heard. The half opened door was now opened fully and I place a small smile on my face.
"Hey, didn't know you were here that fast and speaking of fast, what time is it?" Erza questioned.
"Hi and it's uh-" I check my watch, "7:30 now," I spoke and looked directly at Erza and not the boy sitting next to her.
