ICE MADE ( On Hold )

Chapter 3

I practically bolt out the door when class is over without a second glance at Gray. He is such a jerk. Honestly I had thought he was more mature but he's just like Natsu.

Lucy is waiting for me outside, her smile disappears when she takes in my mood.

"Woah. Someone looks angry." She says bemused.

"I just had a run in with Gray. It doesn't matter." I reply trying to forget the embarrassment he caused me. I will not let him ruin my day. Today is supposed to be a good day.

"I feel you." Lucy gives me a sympathetic smile.

Lucy and I drive to my current place to pick up my stuff. Today I move in with her and Levy. After putting everything in my trunk I check the room one last time to make sure I don't forget anything. I'm glad I did because my journal is laying on top of one of the drawers.

You can write anything you want to tell your mother right here. Remember she is always listening and taking care of you.

My father's voice sounds clear in my head. He gave it to me as soon as I learned to read and write. He said it was a way of connecting with my mother since I didn't really have the opportunity to know her. Every important event in my life is in that journal, although I hadn't written much in it lately.

The only comfort I find in my fathers passing is that he is finally with my mother. I knew that after all these years he still loved her and missed her a lot.

'I love you my little raindrop' Where his last words before that tragic day.

I hold back the tears that pool at my eyes and head downstairs. Angela, an elderly lady who was a good friend of my fathers, gives me a strong hug. After promising to visit, Lucy and I are on our way to my new home.
—————
We arrive at a tall building about ten stories high, not too far from the university. Lucy's apartment is on the top floor. When I enter I'm completely surprised at how big and luxurious it is. I had imagined something simpler but this is amazing.

Briefly I wonder how expensive rent is going to be.

"Welcome home!" Levy gets up from the sofa and gives me a hug.

"Thank you. This is beautiful." I say my eyes wandering around.

"It is right." She laughs.

Together her and Lucy give me a tour. The living room is very spacious it has a sofa, a love seat and an armchair. There's a carpet in the middle with a center table over it. The floor is made of wood and there's a giant flat screen tv against the wall. The kitchen is much smaller and made of marble. Then they show me the bathroom I will be sharing with Levy which doesn't have a tub but I don't mind at all.

Finally they take me to the room that will be mine. It's a very decent size. There's already a bed against the wall with a small nightstand next to it. I open the closet it's very spacious too. And it's next to Levy's room while Lucy's room is at the end of the hall. They help me carry the rest of my stuff upstairs and Lucy leaves to shower.

" This place must be really expensive." I say.

"Yeah. Well actually Lucys dad pays half of it."
Levy says a little embarrassed.

"He does?"

"Lucys father is very wealthy but they don't have a very good relationship." She shrugs.

"Oh" I don't ask any questions as I don't want Levy to feel like she has to tell me something that isn't hers to tell. Maybe one day Lucy will have enough trust to tell me herself.

Levy leaves me alone to finish unpacking which doesn't take long since I have very few stuff.  Afterwards I shower and decide to write on my journal. Minutes later I hear a lot of noise and laughing coming from the living room. I go check what's going on and see Lucy on the floor with a laptop on the table. Levy is sitting on the love seat and another girl is laying down on the sofa.
