Gratsu: The deaf

Chapter 4-Gray

Erza called me before 6:30, and told me how to get to her house, I asked her before she goes, "What kind of party is it?"

She responded with, "It's a masquerade ball, so you got to get dressed up." I didn't care what kind of party it was as long as I get to see Natsu I will be alright.

"Okay, Erza- I'll see you at 6:30." As I hanged up, and was wondering. What to wear? What to wear? Then a idea struck me I ran into my closet of clothes and pulled out a tux that my own mother made in case I ever met a nice girl.

It was a normal black tux, but on the pocket it was red and had a message, "Believe Gray." I smiled lightly at Mom's gift, then my smile faded as I thought of my mom she died a few years ago- my mom was talented at sewing, then I thought of my mother and my last memory of her.

It was snowing outside, as I watched my mother get sick in front of my own eyes, today she looked especially weak, as she looked has if she can fall at any moment.

"Mom!" I called to her, her attention was drawn on to me, as she had a smile- and said the last words I ever heard her say, "My son, you got to believe- if you don't your heart will break." After she those words her eyes turned black as she fainted .

Before she hit the ground I caught her, my eyes were full of tears feeling hopeless after I lost a special person to me; I don't know what do know, mom's last words kept running through my head over and over. Until I finally got what she meant, she means don't cry over her death and continue to fight on.

Tears hit the floor after thinking of my mom, it's funny I was getting ready for a party and now I'm crying. I kept crying I needed to let all the burden out, when I felt a couple of arms grabbed me in a hug, and I hugged this stranger tighter- as the tears kept falling without my control.

When I got it all out if my system, I broke the hug, and saw it was Natsu, Natsu was pouting- I smiled at his cute act, I patted his head. Now that Natsu was there I was fine where I was, I didn't care about the outside world just me and Natsu.
