Hanahaki Disease

Chapter 16

I've decided...

The day I'll have my surgery...

Will be the day after mine and Natsu's "date".

"Where do you wanna go Lucy?"

I look up at my dorky best friend. I smile.

"Disneyland."

His eyes widen, "Oh yeah! I remember that promise!"

I smile brightly.

When we were 5, Natsu promised to take me to Disneyland one day.

"Lucy! I promise! I'll marry you at Disneyland!"

"Really?"

"Yeah! You'd make a great wife! What do you say?"

"Hahaha! Of course!"

"Then it's a promise!"

I laugh to myself.

As if he'd marry me.

"Wasn't I supposed to marry you there?" he asks.

I blush, "Y-Yeah, w-we were just kids after all."

"Heh. I proposed to such a pretty girl at my age. I must be a hunk~"

I playfully hit him on the arm, "Yeah, a total hunk."

"Ha-ha," he says.

I giggle and look over at my computer that is now on the Disneyland website.

Natsu bought the tickets. I insisted I played for my own but he wouldn't let me. The trip is planned this Saturday.

Sunday...

Sunday will be the appointment. I'll call later tonight...

"What's on your mind?"

I look over at Natsu who was staring at me.

"Eh- sorry. I'm tired is all."

Natsu grabs my forehead and moves my head onto his shoulder. He covers my eyes as well waiting for me to sleep. I smile and hug Natsu's arm. He removes his hands from my eyes that are closed. I was smiling to myself.

Natsu...

I'll cherish my last moments even more of being in love with you starting now.

I'll miss this warm feeling in my chest when you're around me. I'll miss being so happy when I even have a thought about you.

I'll miss being in love with you.

-The Next Morning-

Tuesday

I picked up Natsu and we headed to school. It was the usual routine.

Enter school.

Survive 1st to 4th period.

Now lunch.

I leave the cafeteria and head outside. Before I could open the back door my tray gets slapped out of my hands. I look over to see the 5 girls.
