Chapter 5 Connecting

This book turned two years old and here is another chapter!

3rd Person POV

A month passed by in a flash with Juvia slowly becoming Cole's friend, helping him get over his first break-up. And throughout this time not only did the bluenette use this time wisely but a few other people.

"Don't you think its time already Juvia?" her little sister Meredy asked, narrowing her eyes towards the older girl's direction. Juvia only shook her head and smiled, her chin resting on her hand as she stared in the air.

"Not yet Meredy. This was his first break-up, it will take some time to get down his walls and finally take a chance. And I need to be there for him when he does. Patience is the key, and I have that." Juvia smiled, not a sweet smile but the opposite.

A smile that even made Meredy feel bad for the kid whose heart was probably gonna turn into dust when Juvia was done with him. She's been thinking about stopping this. Even if she acted as if she didn't care about every person they broke she couldn't help but put themselves in their shoes.

But how could she stop? How could she stop when all she knew was this way to protect herself. She didn't want to end up the way her sister did, a broken heart and no way to pick herself up. She couldn't end up that way, she just couldn't.

"I see. Juvia," Meredy started with a hesitant voice. Juvia hummed, raising an eyebrow towards her sister's direction. "I want to draw back in this one." Meredy paused and watched Juvia's reaction.

"Draw back you say?" Juvia tested out the words on her lips. In the end, she laughed, a clear amusement ringing in her voice. "Meredy what's gotten into you? Since when were you a comedian?" Juvia laughed, clearly not believing her words.

Meredy looked down, already feeling anxious to when Juvia would realize she was being serious. "Juvia I'm being serious." she murmured softly under her breath, biting her lower lip. Juvia stopped laughed and smiled, a confused smile she often used when she was confused on the situation.

"But Meredy you have never drawn back. I get Wendy, maybe Levy and hell I'll even take Lisanna to draw back. But you? No sis, you have never drawn back." Juvia grinned and brushed her long blue hair back. Meredy looked away, "I just," 'don't want to do this anymore'.

"I don't want to have someone else' leftovers. I want a fresh one, what fun would it be when its already all used up?" Juvia paused at Meredy's words. "Ok, I see now. Of course, you wouldn't just drawback for the heck of it." Juvia pulled her phone out and texted someone.

"I have to inform the girl's you've drawn back so someone takes up your place-"

"No!"

Juvia looked up and tilted her head, "What?". Meredy cursed herself for blurting out words before she even thought about it. "I don't want anyone to take up my place. Just leave it blank." Meredy said slowly, making sure her words were the correct ones.

"Meredy, if you draw back someone has to take up your place. Usually, you wouldn't care about someone taking up another one's place. Seriously, are you ok?" Juvia turned her phone off and looked worriedly at her sister.

"I'm fine. I just don't want anyone else taking my place because I feel as of they are replacing me. And I don't like that." Meredy thought up of an excuse quickly. Juvia sighed and shook her head, "Ok then you weirdo. Your place will be left blank.".

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me, just find someone and thank me by breaking their heart."

"I...I w-will. Don't worry. I have to go now." Meredy stood up and walked out of the living room, biting her lower lip as she walked out of their house.
