The misfit

Chapter 18: Why now?

Another apology for being a shit author

Lucy POV

Why the fuck does that lil shit miss me when he was the one who left me after one fucking fuck. He used my body and my desperation to his advantage, he might want to see me but I do not want to see him.

'Did he say anything else?' I inquired, just curious about his attitude towards me.

'Nope just sent me a paragraph of a text apologising and explaining himself to me,' Gajeel explained.

What did he explain to him?

''What did he explain to you?'

Gajeel paled slightly, this got me raising an eyebrow and making my nosey side poke though.

'Oh...um...it's nothing really, family stuff...yeah,ha'

Hmmmm not buying it.

'Are you sure because it seems to me that you are trying to convince yourself that that is the truth?'

Levy actually spoke her opinion after I said that

'I think that we should get going, sorry for stopping by without letting you know. I'll see you at school'

And just like that they're gone.

All this seems too suspicious to me but am I going to waste my time investigating?

I think the fuck not.

~~~about 2 weeks later~~~

Ah the day has arrived.

My birthday.

The day I finally move that shitheads stuff out of my apartment and sell it for some decent money.

Obviously I'm not that shit of a person and I have taken stuff out that looks personal and sentimental and kept it, just in case he come looking for it.

Other than that like clothes, books, movies/games that I don't want and random crap that looks sellable.

Being Valentine's Day and all I want this to be an early sale as the later it gets the less people that are going to be around, luckily for me I'm just too zazzed to sleep in today.
Yeah I know, shocker.

After getting myself put together by tying my hair into a ponytail and putting in some sweats and a t-shirt, I make my way outside with a few boxes, starting with the lightest things.

I set it up almost like a lemonade stand just without the lemonade.

After a few trips up and down my stairs and through the apartment, everything is placed in the communal garden in front of my building.

I'd been adversing this sale for 2 months now so a few people were already outside waiting.

I opened up the first couple boxes, removing some designer clothing items out and putting them front and centre.

Where the fuck did he get the money to pay for things like this?

Ignoring the thought people continued to pass through and look through the items I had on display, things were running smoothly until Levy arrived.

'Lucy this is how you're spending your birthday?' She huffed at me.

'Well yeah, I don't have any other plans and it isn't for the whole day, aren't you and Gajeel going to spend the day together?'

'Yeah but later on, anyway what are you selling?'

I didn't want to tell her because she would tell me it's wrong but I've stoped caring over these past couple months.

'Natsus' belongings that he left behind,'

Her face confirmed my prediction.

'That's not really the right way to go about this Lucy, I know he left you but you only knew him for a month. Aren't you being a bit petty about this?'

To say I was shocked would be an understatement, I didn't think she'd understand completely but I thought that she might understand my emotions.

'Yes it may be petty but I think that it's perfectly understandable, if this is the only reason why you've decided to see me then you can leave,'

I was actually sick of her shit, I thought that she'd be one of the people to understand me but I guess not.

'Here I'll give you this then be on my way, Happy Birthday by the way,'

She handed me a small box and then she turned around and left.

I didn't want to open the gift so I just placed it in my pocket and continued with the sales, I could tell that this would be a long afternoon.

~~~Early evening~~~
(Sorry for all the time skips)

Well that's the last customer and we've made a lot of progress getting rid of the items. I've made well over $300 so it's been pretty successful if you ask me.

The rest of the items I'll probably donate to charity.

It was around 4:30 in the evening so it's perfect time for me to finish packing up and order myself a birthday pizza with my two best friends, bed and Netflix.

As I was just finishing up with the last box, halfway through opening my apartment door, I hear a voice.

A voice that just make my blood boil.

'Do you need a hand with that?'

The nerve of this hoe.

'Natsu'

Okay so this 'break' wasn't as long as some of my previous absences but I'm still very sorry and I'm just going to give it to you straight, I probably won't ever have a routine and I just write when I feel like it, sorry that you have to put up with me, thanks for sticking around.
