Chapter 3: 'Flashback' Dream

"Juvia! Please be my girlfriend!"

I looked at a certain boy who is holding flowers and kneeling right before me as if already he's proposing.

I don't know him but he looked my age. 13 years old. It was my first time seeing him but he looked like a nice boy. I blushed. It was my first time being asked out. Maybe I should give him a chance?

I smiled at him. "Alright."

A week had passed and we had fun together so far until that day. The day he finally broke the news to me. We were by the park that day when he said the words, "Sorry. This was all just a bet."

I just looked at him with a shocked expression.

He continued. "Today is the due date. I had to date you for a week since I lost a game to a friend of mine. He chose you because you were the rain woman. Sorry this happened to you. I couldn't take it anymore. It always rains when I'm with you. How annoying."

Then just like that he left.

2 years later~~~

It's been two years since that day. I have new boyfriend now and this time, he's also in love with me, or so I thought.

We've only been together for a month but it seemed like forever. I'm happy with him right now and I hope nothing can break us apart.

Until it happened again.

It's different this time. It wasn't a bet. He became strange since a week ago. He spent less time with me and when I visited him during at times, he would not be in his house. Which led me to face him about his unusual ways.

"Sorry, Juvia. I just fell in love with another. I met her a week ago."

And I knew I failed again. He tried to comfort me. He must have noticed my blank expression. "But Juvia I really did love you all this time! I really did so please-!"

I stopped him midway with a hand. "No. You never did. It was never love but just a mere attraction. I understand."

I looked at him for the last. "Goodbye. Be happy with her."

At least, I was the one who left this time.

1 1/2 year later~~~

I walked to the streets of Magnolia, deciding to buy some flowers for my deceased parents. I already have a guild since a year ago. Master Jose Porla of Phantom Lord invited me humbly to his guild and made me an S-class. I was grateful to him for giving me a place to stay so I had to do everything he asks me to.

I walked to a florist by the stands and asked for a bouquet of yellow roses.

I set first my umbrella and took the flowers after I paid and stood only to fall on the ground . It seemed like I bumped into something. I looked up and saw a person. Or someone. I stood up and said my apologies.

"Oh no need to say sorry, fair lady. Stand up otherwise you'll get more soaked in the rain. My name is Bora of the Titan Nose guild. Pleasure to meet you, miss -?" He stretched his hand out to me.

"Juvia. Juvia Lockser." I said politely and gently shook hands with him.

I noticed the way he looked at me. I found myself blushing. "Pardon me, Bora-san. I need to be somewhere else now. Goodbye." I bowed respectfully to him and immediately turned my way towards the cemetery with a flushed face.

It wouldn't hurt to give him a chance, right?

Two weeks later, I found myself sobbing in the rain. Alright. I admit. I was naive and foolish. Maybe too foolish. He broke up with me a while ago stating he can't stand the rain anymore. He can't stand being with me anymore.

What can I do? The rain is a part of myself. It has been my only company since childhood.

How cruel of him. He made the rain as an excuse. He could have just told me he was sick of me always clinging to him, sick of me making it rain, sick of me for everything else.

He said he hates the rain because it's annoying. He hates the rain, so he hates me also?

What can I do when the rain is a part of me.

..............

Maybe Gray-sama is like them.

Maybe I was wrong for being so foolish and naive, giving another chance. Again.

I sigh.

I lay on my bed wearing my soft pink night dress.

I'll worry about that next time.

I slowly drifted off to sleep.
