I Do (Book 2) (Nalu) ✔️

Chapter 12 (The Second Year Without Him)

Lucy's stories became more and more boring. Her friends went on jobs to help pay for her rent. She needed time. She needed these four years to herself.

She never forgot about him. She loved him. She missed him.

Lucy couldn't stop crying. With everything going on, she'd been writing more and more, but her stories weren't so interesting.

She wrote. She wrote everything. She was turning her life story into her own story. A book that had yet to be published.

She walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. She heard a knock on the door. She walked over. It was too early to be Natsu.

She opened the door. Four girls pummeled into the small apartment.

"Minna! What are you guys doing here!?" Lucy gasped.

"We're here to cheer you up, Silly." Mira giggled, unpacking her things.

"Yea!" Wendy said, running to turn off the shower for her.

"We feel terrible, Lucy. So wanted to help and make sure you're okay." Erza said, putting her Heart Kruez Armor on a stand and requipping into a more comfortable outfit.

"Here, Lu~Chan! I brought the entire Percy Jackson Series!" Levy smiled widely, handing Lucy the books.

"Thank you!" Lucy smiled. For the first time in a long time, she'd actually smiled. And laughed.

~~~~•~~~~•~~~~•

"So what movie should we watch?" Erza asked, plugging in the DVD player.

"How about a horror!?" Mira asked, excitedly. That girl's She-Devil instincts kick in at the weirdest times.

"I'm down. As long as we get to watch The Titanic afterwards." Levy giggled.

"But, Levy~Chaaan!!!" Lucy whined. "That movie is like, three hours long!!!"

"Let's do it in an order. We can have this sleepover for a week." Erza suggested.

"Okay! We do, It, The Titanic, The 300, and then we do Frozen, for Wendy." Mira said.

"Sounds good to me! And, Erza. Why do you want to watch a historical movie?" Lucy asked.

"It's got battle. Anything to raise my skill."

"Erza. You're strong enough. Actually, quite scary." Lucy sweat dropped.

"Okay! But we still have to watch it!"

"Okay! Fine!"

Everyone watched all the movies. Well, except for Wendy. Halfway through The 300, she fell asleep.

Soon, everyone decided that they should sleep.

Lucy crawled under her blanket with Levy. Erza with Mira. And Wendy on her own.

Now, this is something for Lucy's story alright. Especially the weeklong sleepover.
