Lisanna's Lie

The Explanation

Chapter 4

Normal pov

The next day at the guild hall Lucy went to her regular table and sat down waiting for Gajeel to join her but he never did.

Lucy didn’t think much of it and went on a solo job and instead of going to the guild hall after she just went straight home, took a relaxing bath then went to bed.

When Lucy woke up she went to the guild hall hoping she and Gajeel could go on another job but when she got there she noticed Gajeel sitting at the table with Levy like he usually did. ‘He and Levy are back to hanging out again, that means things are finally starting to calm down and go back to normal. maybe I should go talk to Natsu…..’ Lucy’s thoughts trailed off. Then came back as fast as lighting.

Lucy's pov

Yes that’s it I’ll just go talk to Natsu about the past couple weeks! He and team Erza have like completely ignored me, I deserve and explanation! I'll just pull him aside when he starts to leave the guild and talk to him.

A few hours later…

Okay there he goes, time for me to go through with my plan. I ran up to him and pulled him to the side of the guild hall. He looked at me surprised and as if he hadn’t seen me in a year! But he talked to me like we spoke yestersay “Oh hey Lucy what’s up?”

Normal pov

Lucy was in shock he had completely ignored for the past 3 weeks and now he’s acting as if nothing had happened!

“Natsu you have not even looked at me in 3 weeks and now you act as if we talked yesterday! You even left my name out and put lisanna’s in when people were talking about the Strongest Team, I was there when it was formed not Lisanna! I deserve and explanation about why you and team Erza have ignored me!” Lucy shouted.

Natsu looked away just realizing what he had done feeling guilty, she saw the guilt in his eyes but that wasn't getting him of the hook, and she wouldn’t let him look away, she grabbed his chin in her hand and made him look at her. Tears formed in her eyes in her eyes but then wiped them away before they could spill over onto her cheeks.

“Answer me!” Lucy demanded.

Natsu opened his mouth to talk but no words came out, he didn’t have an actual reason about why he had ignored her.

There was no excuse.

“I’m sorry Lucy. I have no excuse for ignoring you lately. I guess I was so happy that Lisanna had returned and was so caught up in the moment that I wasn’t paying much attention to anything else.”

Lucy didn’t know what to say to that, she thought he would try to deny it but he didn't

Natsu could tell Lucy didn’t know what to say so he spoke for her.

"I found this job request that suits you perfectly how about we go on the mission tomorrow I’ll tell Erza and Gray.”

“What about Lisanna?” Lucy asked.

“Don’t worry about that. I could tell Lisanna was trying to make things like they were before she ‘died’ but it can never be like that again. She was gone and I formed a team with you!” Natsu explained flashing his signature grin.

“Well… yeah. Okay I’ll meet you here tomorrow!” Lucy answered happily.

Just then Natsu cocked his head like a wild animal trying to listen. 'what was that?' he thought.

"Must have been an animal." Natsu mumbled to himself.

"What did you say?" Lucy asked. she couldn't hear him because of how quiet he spoke.

"Its nothing." Natsu assured.

After standing there a few minutes they both went home.

‘that went well. But I wonder what Natsu said, he was acting strange.’ Lucy thought as she walked home.

When Lucy arrived at her apartment and started to unlock her door she heard something and stopped to see what was making the noise, but before she had the chance to see who it was she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, Then she faded into unconsciousness.
