Lucy POV
Erza and Jellal had finally married and they have a daughter who looked almost exactly like Erza but personality wise she inherited her father's, which is disappointing.
Me?
I'm engaged with a beautiful woman who is kind and sweet. Always thoughtful and considerate, I could not wait to finally marry her after all this years. This is like a dream come true that I can be happy after all those years of suffering. This...
———-
was what I was hoping for but unfortunately fate still have me tangled up with their games and deemed that I have not suffer enough so they decided to torture me more.
I sighed as I continue to brew some coffee just to make me awake instead of a walking zombie and also I have a ton of work to do. It's been a month or so since I spoke to Erza and I regretted that I pour out my emotions to her because if I didn't, I would still be friends with her and the thought that I'm able to just simply talk to her was soothing.
But on the other hand, I'm kinda in a way relieved that I do not have to speak to her because all she ever talk about was her boyfriend and it annoyed me to no end. Ugh, if only I can get her out of my mind!
A ring from the doorbell startled me from my thoughts. I went to the door and open it.
"Lu-,"
I closed. My heart is racing and my nervousness starts to run million miles per hour. Why is she doing here?! I'm so not ready!
Knocks on the door were heard.
"Lucy let me in! Let me explain please," I noticed her voice cracked at the end and I felt guilty. "Just please, please let me explain,"
The way Erza was begging breaks my heart but I was still reluctant and was not ready on talking to her yet.
"What are you doing here," my voice was monotonous but was heard clearly.
"I want to talk to you!" Erza bang at the door.
"Erza please whatever you want to say I don't want to hear it at least for today,"
"Lucy please!" Erza insisted. "It's okay if you don't let me in but just hear me out, okay?"
Erza took the silence as a permission to start talking and so she did.
"Lucy I-I'm sorry, I didn't notice your feelings! I-I was selfish.. I only thought of myself. I kept on talking about him even though you're sick of hearing about it and you know what's the worst thing about it? I sh-should have known from the start that you love me. I feel awful, terrible that I didn't even notice these feelings. I'm a horrible friend, right? I-I'm really foolish aren't I? I hate myself, I really hate myself for doing that to you,"
And that was the last straw, I couldn't stand Erza hating herself like that, not like that. I opened the door just to find Erza standing, shivering and most of all crying. I know Erza, she won't cry not even when her parents died and to know that she is crying over me broke my heart into pieces.
I didn't know what I was doing at that moment but I slapped her. "Don't ever hate yourself!" I shouted. "You're beautiful, strong. You don't care what other thinks, you have a strong mindset when you're doing something. I-I can't stand you hating yourself when you are the most wonderful person I have ever met!"
And by that time both of us were crying and breathing heavily. We were a mess.
I wiped my tears. "Come on, let's get you clean up,"
