When She Was Once Happy

Train

Three months have passed and Natsu wasn't able to find out anything about where Lucy lives.

Natsu's POV

I threw the pillow on the flow and grunted. I was unable to sleep. I sat up from my bed and checked the time on my phone.

11:37

My heart ached in pain. I want to see her. I need to see her.

I sat up from my bed and walked towards the window. I sat on the bed seat by the window and just looked out of it. My bedroom was on the second floor.
    I noticed the very little stars there was. I think I could make out the constellation, Aquarius. Yeah, it is. I chuckled to myself of how nerdy I can be. I got up from the window bed sill.
     Grabbing my coat and scaled scarf, I walked out my bedroom door and down the stairs, leaving my house. I took a breath and saw it reveal itself in the air.
      I walked aimlessly through the town. I noticed buildings I probably never seen before. I continued to walk until I came upon the train station. I stopped dead in my tracks.

They're still open at this time?

I checked my phone, even though there was a giant clock built into the building. It was 11:53. I walked up the steps and into the building. I looked at the departure schedule. The last train is at 12am. I went up to the clerk and asked for one ticket. I handed him the money as he returned me the change along with the ticket.

I would be able to call her, but I gave her my number and she never used it. So I don't have it saved in my phone.

I walked to the right of me and down a few steps. There were only like 4 people waiting for the train. I walked towards the empty bench, with 7 minutes to spare.

What am I even doing?

I took a deep breath.

Before I knew it, the train had arrived. I walked onto the train and sat in one of the seats.

I'm coming...

Lucy's POV

I brought my pillow to me, as I sat up in my bed, hugging it so close to me.

It's been 3 months and I haven't heard a word from him.

I sighed, pulling out my phone. I glared at the contact number I had for him.

I could just...no. He's probably sleeping. Besides, he most likely forgot about me and moved on. I bet he's having so much fun with the other friends he has. I don't want him to be sad because of me.

I sighed and got up from the bed. I grabbed my jacket and snuck out the door. Luckily, Ms. Lobster didn't hear me.

Sighing in relief once I got outside, I looked up at the sky

Natsu's POV

I stared up at the sky again.

I walked around Hargeon, looking for any subtle clues about Lucy's whereabouts.

In the end, I wasn't able to find anything. Sighing in disappointment, I walked back to the train station and bought a ticket back home for the 12:30 train.

Lucy's POV

I walked around town. Checking my phone, it read 12:25. I continued to walk around until I noticed the train station. My heart filled with joy at the thought of being able to see him.
    I inched closer to the station and entered the building. I asked the guy at the counter for a ticket.
      "Sorry M'am. The 12:30 train has already arrived and will be departing soon. If you'd like, there's another train that'll be here at 12:50 if you would like to wait for that one." I nodded my head. We exchanged the ticket for my money. He bowed, "thank you for your service." I walked off into the area where the trains arrive. I stayed standing. I saw the 12:30 train.

      It wasn't long before my eyes widened as I saw the spikes of a salmon-haired guy.

"Natsu..."

          I whispered, still strucked. I blanked out of my thought and immediately grabbed my phone out of my pocket of the jacket. I hovered my finger over the call button on his contact. I hesitated before pressing it. I held it up to my ear and stared at the glass.

          "Hello...?"

It was his voice

Third POV

          "Hello...?" Natsu answered his phone, not recognizing the number.

            "Hey..." a slight chucklewas heard of the phone.

          Natsu's eyes opened. "Lucy?"
           Lucy nodded, "yeah it's me. Can you stand up for a moment?"
            Natsu, confused, hesitated for a moment, but eventually did as she said. "Now what?"
            Lucy was smiling uncontrollably. "Now look to your right, out the window." Natsu slowly turned his head, and his eyes widened even further as he saw a familiar blonde-headed girl. He almost dropped the phone onto the ground. He turned his full body towards the glass.
            "H-how?" Lucy stayed smiling as some tears slipped out. She was in pure joy.
           "I wanted to see you, so I bought a ticket to Magnolia." More tears slipped out. "I wish you were off the train, standing right here next to me."

Natsu was still in shock, "yeah, me too."

Lucy continued as she was full on crying out of happiness, "but I am so happy. I really am! So happy that I was able to see your face again." She used her sleeve of her jacket to wipe her tears away.
       Natsu's heart ached. "Hey don't cry..." he slowly placed his right hand on the glass window.
      Lucy smiled, "I miss you" she walked up to the glass and put her left hand to match his. They both slowly leaned their foreheads to match another.
          "I miss you so much!" Lucy wanted to break down crying, but she held it back and just smiled.
            "I'll be there soon~"
           "You better be!" Natsu smiled slightly.
         Next thing, the trains engine was heard and Lucy backed away from the train, removing her hand and head from the glass. The train slowly left, as Lucy stood there, waving goodbye.

               "I promise I'll be there" Lucy said to herself, as her heart pounded over and over, making herself unable to think clearly.
