Jellal's P.O.V

The ball had already started, i was on the garden thinking about the last words i heard Ultear said-If you want o blame someone that's me. I controlled Jellal.

I still couldn't believe it. So all the guilt i had wasn't my fault, i did those things but i was being controlled. "Don't try to look for excuses Jellal! You weren't strong enough to stop yourself, your hand are stained with blood". Some sobs snapped me away from my thoughts, i went to see who was it. "Isn't she Juvia from my team on the Grand Magic Games?"

-Hey are you ok?- i asked Juvia. She turn her gaze to me, she looked surprised "Of course she would look surprise. You are a murderer!".

-Juvia is fine- she answered drying her tears.

-You don't look fine why don't you tell me what's wrong- i offered, Juvia hesitated- Mmmm we can dance and you'll tell me your problems and i'll tell you mines. What do you think?- i smiled warmly- Don't worry i don't bite- she chuckled and accepted- So why were you crying?

-Juvia is the reason why Grey-sama died on the prediction we saw of the future. If Juvia wasn't so clingy over Grey-sama or if she was stronger Grey-sama would have been alive. Juvia doesn't deserve being part of Fairy Tail or receiving this kind treatment from Jellal-san after what she did when she was part of Phantom Lord and after letting Grey-sama die- "That is the reason! It wasn't her fault. By the short time i know her she seems a very nice girl, one who deserves friends" Juvia was going to start crying again but i began to talk.

-I tortured a lot of people, i hurt the woman i love the most, i killed my best friend Simon, i lost my memories, i broke out from prison, i remembered everything, i created a guild to fight black guilds do i could wash some of the blood from my hands, i told Erza (the woman i love) that i had a fiance so she could have a better future without me but it hurts so much not having her and you are saying that you don't deserve to be part of Fairy Tail. If that's true somethings that's not i don't deserve to be alive.

Juvia was shocked, they were silent but continued dancing- Erza told Juvia and the others that Jellal-san were being controlled. That it wasn't Jellal-san's fault and that Jellal-san had changed- i was shocked "Erza said that! And Juvia believe her!"- Let's make a deal- i looked confused at her but nodded anyway- Juvia will stop thinking that she doesn't deserve Fairy Tail and will tell her feelings to Grey-sama. While Jellal-san will have to stop thinking that he did all those thinks when he was being controlled and will tell Erza the truth about not being engaged and loving her. And we'll meet in one week, at ten a.m at the cafe Mermaid Ship at Mangolia.

-I don't think...- but i couldn't finish because we heard Grey's voice.

-JUVIA!

-It's a promise Jellal-san- Juvia said and ran towards the voice of her beloved one. "What i can't fulfill that promise!" i ran to where she was to tell her but what i found was really entreating.

While running Juvia stepped on her dress and fell down. However, Grey was fast enough to catch her in is arms- I i'm s sorry Grey-sama- she blushed, he leaned down and kissed her. At the beginning she was shocked but then she deepened the kiss. When we broke apart we were both panting.

-Juvia it wasn't your fault that i died, something that didn't even happened, so don't blame yourself or say that you don't deserve to be part of Fairy Tail. You deserve it most than anyone!- he scolded her- And what i was going to tell you before we were attack was that... i love you Juvia.

She was now crying- Juvia loves you too Grey-sama!- she exclaimed knocking him off with a really potent hug. And they started to make out again.

"Maybe it wasn't my fault after all"- I think that it's my turn now. Isn't it right Juvia?- i told myself and continued strolling on the garden.

P.O.V Erza

I looked for Jellal everywhere but didn't found him. So i decided to look for him at the garden but what i found was really shocking, embarassing and romantic. "They finally got together".

-Ahm, sorry for the interruption- i said- But have you Jellal?

-Ah yes Juvia has!- i crooked an eyebrow "You did?"- Jellal-san was so sweet to Juvia and helped her a lot- "Sweet what the hell?! Jellal you have a fiance?! For Mavis's sake!" I saw that Grey was bothered by it too- Juvia left Jellal-san over there- she pointed the direction, i nodded and left them "We will have a serious chat Jellal" i thought. I continued walking until i saw him sitting under a tree.

P.O.V Jellal

-Jellal!- someone shouted. I turned my face towards that direction, my heart started to beat fast - I was looking for you everywhere. What were you doing here?- "It was Erza and she was looking for me. Act cool, act cool".

-Taking a bit of fresh air- i told her with a bright smile.

-Yes and seducing women too- i looked at her shocked "Seducing women. The only women i want to seduce it's you!"- Oh please come on Jellal! I just came from talking with Juvia who said and i quote Jellal-san was so sweet to Juvia and helped her a lot.- "Wait a minute Juvia... She is just a friend. Hung on a minute is she jealous..."

-Are you jealous?- i asked. She turned as red as her hair, i laughed at it "Oh Erza darling you shouldn't be. I only have eyes for you".

-N no i i only was worried about... yes about your fiance- she told me hesitating "I think it's time to solve this misunderstanding".

-I don't have a fiance.

P.O.V Erza

-Are you jealous?- he asked. I turned as red as her hair an he laughed at it ."Shit! Think fast Erza!".

-N no i i only was worried about... yes about your fiance- i told him hesitating. Suddenly he turn serious.

-I don't have a fiance- "What?! So that's the reason why he turn serious out of the blue. He and his fiance broke up. Why am i feeling so happy?! Bad Erza he might be suffering while you are celebrating a new chance in your love life. Baka baka baka!"- I never had. It was a lie so you could continue living without me because i thought i didn't deserve nothing after all i did. But talking with Juvia made me understand that i need to keep getting stronger so no one never can control me again. Also, she gave me the courage to make the decision to fight for you. I know you n¡might never forgive me but i'll do the best to win you heart.

I slapped him- You Jellal Fernandez are the worst man ever!- he looked at me with pain on his eyes- You don't know how much i suffered when you told me that you were engaged! I loved you, i still do...- i didn't finish cause he smashed his lips against mine. I struggled at the begging but end up giving up. When we broke apart he said.

-Be my girlfriend Erza and i promise that i'll never leave you.

-Yes- i smiled, tears falling.
