"Gray, I-I have to l-leave, see you at the c-classroom." I got up and prepared to walk.

"Juvia! Wait up!" he caught my hand, I quickly brushed it off.

"Gray, I have to leave." 

Yes Juvia! You are smarter than this! Don't let your overflowing feelings corrupt your head. It's insane.

"Are you just gonna leave like that?!" He shouted in these empty hallways. It echoed.

I smirked, look, it came from you huh?!

I looked back, looking at him, smirking. With my chin held up high, "Really Gray?"

"Oh! Then here you are again! With your, so classy, high fasion vibe. Just cut it out Juvia! I know behind that strong woman persona of yours is still-"

"And who left first?"

"You of course! You left without a goodbye!"

"Really? Dumb idiot." i turned around to leave him.

Its sickening.

"I know you love the chase Juvia! You love it all too well! Well then! You want me to chase you?! Alright! Bring it on!" he shouted.

I just ignored him and walked away trying to remove him on my head. But every second, every minute, he is all over my head. He crosses my mind like how he crosses the hallways trying to mess me up. That's what happened for the past few weeks. 

And he wasn't lying, indeed. He was true to his words. He was chasing me. And I also wonder why I love it. The way I walk out, but I always leave the door open. For him to chase after me. But I'll just stare at him and wait for him to go again.  I want him to leave, but I cannot afford to lose him.

What is wrong with me?

I expect him to be cold towards me but he was... just bubbly and he felt okay. Is he really okay with it? 

Or is he pretending to be. 

I love him alright?! I loved him back to my freshmen years. Back when my eyes first landed on him. Back when my heart was still as pure and innocent as me. It never changed, but instead it went stronger and fiercer. And I guess it will stay the same. 

Is this love worth fighting? Or should I stay mad at him? Will I regret in the end when I'll lose him? Or will I be happy cause he finally... gave... up.

Even the thought of him giving up scares the shit out of me. 

Am I really scared to lose him? Or is this just my pride and ego? 

One time I heard him, "Hey! Do you know where is Juvia?" 

Oh shit, It's him! And I have been avoiding him for weeks! I was about to turn away when I heard my best friend say, "There's Juvia!" 

Fuck... Fuck! 

"I love you so much, Juvia!!" Gray screamed and it echoes in these empty hallways. 

I smiled bitterly. "Thanks! I love myself too Gray!" I screamed back and walked out. 

The next day, I had to visit my relatives, I do not want to but, what can I do, even though they have been so mean and rude towards me, nothing can ever change the fact that they are still family. 

But am I a family to them? Do they love me? Like how I treasure them? 

My aunt looked at me as if I was an insect. As if I was something lower to them. I held my head up, the old Juvia is long gone.

I buried her deep down, together with my old feelings, my weaknesses and fears. She's gone, all is gone.

My aunt rolled her eyes and smiled, a fake one. "Anyways, I never knew pests are invited." her smile grew wider. If it was the old Juvia, I would crawl and hide because of fear, but no,

I smirked, amused at what she just said, "I never knew snakes could talk." I murmured. I saw her brows furrowed and her face heating with anger.

After two years, I met them again. My dad never allowed to let me see them, ever again. But todays, it is mom's birthday. I have to.

I sound rude, but I'm not mad at them, that even thouhh they have been so cruel and rude towards me. They are still mom's family. Nothing can change that. I'm just all savage.

She went closer and was about to slap me but I held her hand. Grinning. I saw my aunts face turning red and mad.

"How dare you disrespect me!" her voice echoed.

"You are the one who disrespected yourself, Auntie. You've lost your class." I said clamly.

She tried to calm down but anger was evident on her face.

"Oh, so you are claiming that you have class... Huh?! Guess what?! You are nothing but dirt and mud! Your dad is the reason why your mom is gone! Marrying him was a poison to her! If she didnt marry Dragneel then nothing like this would ever happen! Dragneel is a curse! Your mom being with him is a curse! " she said with emphasis every word.

I looked at her with a bored look but deep down I am breaking apart. How dare her curse dad like that!

"You will never be a part of our family." she said. I turned around and prepared to leave. Im sorry mom. It was painful. It was your birthday.

At the park I stayed for the whole afternoon. I stared blankly at the sea in front of me. It was not hot nor peaceful. It was gloomy. The weather was gloomy. Beside me was a tree. And at my left there is a railings.

It was not really a park but rather a baywalk.

I felt a little cold. I was wearing a thin clothing.

"Tsk!" I suddenly felt a sweater wrapped around me. And a hoodie on my head.

I looked up and saw his dark and serious expression. I saw how his eyebrows meet.

He sat beside me. He was looking at the sea. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He looks so stunning. He screams danger but I feel home with him.

He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me sideways. He forced me to be a bit closer to him.

"Fuck." he cursed near my ear.

"Gray..."
