Juvia's P.O.V

The great magic game had already finished yesterday, as well as the dragon's attack. It was Juvia's fault, if Juvia hadn't been so clingy over Grey-sama he wouldn't have died, on the prediction that Juvia and the others had seen. If Juvia had been stronger and didn't need Grey-sama's protection...

-Ne Juvia-chan which dress do you like?- love rival asked Juvia. Juvia wasn't paying much attention, she didn't deserve to go to the ball, she was weak, she was the reason for which Grey-sama died.

-Are you ok Juvia? You look depressed- asked Levy-chan "She is so sweet and friendly. That must be the reason why Gajeel-kun loves her so much" Juvia thought.

-Juvia doesn't deserve to go to the ball!- Juvia whined.

-Why is that?! Did someone said something?! I'm gonna kill the idiot who did!- love rival exclaimed.

-Lu-chan calm dowm. Now Juvia tell us why you not deserve to go to the ball- Levy told me calmly.

Juvia explained everything to the girls, they looked at Juvia with sad eyes full of compassion- Juvia loves this guild it's full of wonderful people, even though she doesn't deserve being here! Juvia wants to be selfish this time and stay with all of you after all the harm she did.

-Juvia it's not your fault- Levy told Juvia and hugged her.

-B but G Grey-sama...

-Listen up Juvia he decided to save it was his choice and he is not dead!- love rival state- Now we are going to get you a dress for the ball you need to get pretty for your Gray-sama- Juvia blushed. The girls took Juvia shopping and bought her a strapless marine blue dress, till the floor with a ribbon from the waist till her knees. Love rival summoned Cancer to make their hair. Juvia had it loosen and straight- Juvia you look hot!

-Lu-chan is right you look out stunning!- Juvia blushed.

-Juvia doesn't think so. Love rival and Levy look prettier- Levy blushed while love rival muttered something about not liking Gray-sama but Juvia knows that it isn't true and she will never be fooled by that. "But love rival is strong and she isn't the reason for which Grey-sama died, not like Juvia. Maybe love rival is a better choice than Juvia"- Love rival...

-I don't like Grey!- she interrupted Juvia.

-Love rival, Juvia thinks that you are a better choice for Grey-sama than Juvia. Please take good car of him- Juvia sobbed while she was bowing. Suddenly Juvia feels pain on her cheek, love rival had slapped Juvia.

-Listen up Juvia it wasn't your fault that Grey died, something that didn't even happened. And for the last time I DON'T LIKE GREY I'M IN LOVE WITH NATSU!- love rival blushed just realizing what she said. "Love rival doesn't like Grey-sama but loves natsu-san? Juvia is really confused"-I... i...

-What Lu-chan tries to say is that you are the best choice for Grey. He might look as if he doesn't like you or is not interested on you. But every time you go out on a mission he asks for you and wait nervously for you to return home safe. One day when you came late from a mission he went crazy and we needed Erza, Mirajane, Gajeel and Natsu to retain him from looking after you- Levy and love rival laughed as if they remembered something funny. "Grey-sama is worried about Juvia?"- So don't give up on him so easily.

At the ball

Everyone was happy and very well dressed. Juvia looked around the room, she spotted Levy talking with Gajeel-kun and Lily-kun also, she found love rival asking for Natsu-san.

"Is Juvia really the best option for Grey-sama?" Juvia was thinking when someone touched her shoulder, she turned around and remembered the blood and the guilt she felt- G Grey-s sama w what are y you doing h here?
