Juvia's ears perk up at the sound of the door opening, knowing it's her husband unlocking the door. She turns down the tv she had been watching as the door opens, showing another blue haired female with a suitcase. Her face frowns as she her husband comes into the door frame, seeing her upset face.

"Come on in Levy." He motions for her to enter as she does, saying a polite hello to Juvia. "There's a spare bedroom down the hall and to the right." He points towards the hall and she only nods grabs her suitcase.

Once she is gone Gray walks over to his wife, "I'm sorry I didn't warn you." He embraces her, "I couldn't leave her there it was last minute." The touch of her husband was one she couldn't resist, already have forgiven him.

She doesn't want another woman in her house but it was a friend, a friend she hoped wouldn't betray her.

"Natsu I'm sorry." Lucy stands in front him, already on the verge of tears as she paces back and forth. He sits down, concerned about his girlfriend as she runs a hand through her hair. "I-I don't know how to tell you this.."

"Tell me what?" He raises an eyebrow, "Luce stop pacing-"

"I'm pregnant!" She shouts, stopping her movements. His mouth closes as she tears stream down her face.

"I knew it!" He lets out a happy laugh. He stops once he sees her face crying even harder. "Shouldn't you be happy..?" He trails, not knowing how most women feel in this situation.

"I-it's not y-yours.."

He stands and she cowers a bit. "What?" He asks as she continues to cry.

"When I kicked you out I.." She trails and he takes another step closer.

"You what Lucy?" He wasn't even using her nickname anymore.

"I.. Cheated on you and I'm sorry.." Her voice squeaked by the end of it, he looked away and ran a hand down his face. This was the girl he wanted to propose to?

"Who was it." His voice was cold, distant, it made her so uneasy.

"L-Loke.."

His face is stagnant. "Get out."

"W-what?"

"I need you to leave." He lifts her from the floor. "We've been sleeping in the same bed for months." She looks into his eyes with hope, yet he isn't looking back at her. "And you never told me that someone else had been sleeping in that same bed." When they finally connect eyes he seemed hurt and upset.

"I'm sorry!" She sees Natsu pull out a her carry on as he zips it open. "P-please don't do this." She tried to hold onto him as she dumps her drawers of clothing inside.

He stops to look up at her. "What am I supposed to do Lucy?" He truly looked hurt, and Lucy's heart was in pieces. "If I cheated on you with [Name] what would you have done?"

Her hand trembles and falls from his tanned bicep. She remembers kicking him out at just the thought of that happening, him coming to apologize first. He had been so good to her and he's slipping away.

"That's what I thought." He shuts the now empty drawers and zips the bag closed. He carries he bag as she tries to think of ways to make him forgive her. Yet he's already opened his front door. "I hope you have a good life Lucy, I'm sorry it just couldn't be with me." The bag is placed down as she swallows thickly. Is this really how it ends?

"I-I'll always love you Natsu.." She grabs handle of the suitcase. "And I'm sorry." She lowers her head in defeat, knowing that once his mind is made up there was nothing she could do.

"What the hell." Sting groans, pulling apart from his girlfriend. She giggles, having to stop an intense make out session because of the door. She pecks him once more and stands, going towards the front door.

Once she opens it Lucy is on the other side, her eyes red and puffy. She is sniffing with a suitcase beside her. "[Name].. I really need your help."

The [hair color] female glances at her boyfriend who's adjusting his appearance, understanding that they probably wouldn't be resuming their previous actions.

"Come on in.." She opens the door wider and the girl steps inside. The blonde notices the disheveled appearance of a boy on the couch, knowing she probably interrupted something.

"I'm really sorry to bother but I need a place to stay.."

[Name] nods, "there's a spare room upstairs, second door on the left." Lucy thanks her and grabs her suitcase, walking up the wooden steps. Once she is gone she turns towards her boyfriend. "I wish you could stay.."

He stands, caressing the side of her face. "I know, too bad she interrupted us." His hands pull her hips closer to him. Unfortunately he would be gone for a couple days for work. "I'll be back before you know it." He turns to the staircase. "I hope she's alright, hope he didn't do anything to harsh."

She furrows her eyebrows. She understands he's trying to be sympathetic but why did he jump to that conclusion?

"His name is Natsu and I'm sure it wasn't his fault." She sighs, letting her slight anger slip. "I'll call you tomorrow."

His lips press together in a small smile. "Let me know if I'm right." He winks, showing his pearly whites. "I'll see you babe." He kisses her forehead as he walks towards the door. She says goodbye and he leaves, looking at the stair railing.

She drags her feet upstairs, a bit upset she couldn't have her boyfriend stay over. Knocking on the guest room Lucy opens the door. She clutches onto a box of tissues [Name] placed in the room. "Sting is gone so do you want to talk about what happened?"

The blonde doesn't say a thing and the female sighs and takes a glance at the packed suitcase in the corner of the room. Once her eyes fall back onto the girl she moves closer and puts hand on her back, rubbing it in small circles. Lucy seemed to ease a bit by the small gesture, whatever this was must've been really bad if she came to her of people. She was never fond of [Name], so why not go to Levy or even Gray?

"N-Natsu h-he.." Her voice was wavering immensely, "kicked me out!" By the end of her words she had her head back into her hands, [Name] only wondered how many tears this poor girl could shed.

She let the words sink in for a second, he didn't seem like the type to do that. Especially since he's was planning on proposing in a couple of days. This must've been bad, whatever he was going through. She needed to talk to him, the sooner the better.

"You guys fought again?" She sighs, running a hand through her hair. "What was it this time?"

She flops herself on the bed, "I just wish it never happened."

Sighing [Name] stands to her feet, not in the mood to fight it out of her. Maybe it'd be better just to call Natsu in the morning.
