how did i hate you? ; nalu

chapter eight

Erza walked up to me,

Don't listen to what she said, I know you and Natsu may have just come off as two childhood friends who hated each other, but I'm not an idiot Lucy, you cared about him, he did too. The only reason he snapped is because he doesn't want to believe it's him you forgot..

I felt my eyes fill with tears, how the hell could I forget someone like him. No actually,

How did I hate him?

Erza looked at me,

How should I know? You actually never told us, whenever we asked you'd just shrug..

I gave a small laugh,

I could never really hate him, look at his eyes, hair, everything about him.

Erza turned red,

You sure you're my Lucy?

She smirked,

Never in a million years would I ever think I'd hear you say that,

She closer to me giggling, I nudged her,

What!

She calmed down the laughing patting my shoulder,

If only you know what you just said, now get some rest.

I looked at her completely confused nodding,

Erza left the room along with Mira, I hadn't seen Lisanna at all the rest of that day, Levy was stuck in a book all day so we didn't talk much,

I sat in the uncomfortable hospital bed, did I really forget him? Also had I forgot anything else? I couldn't do this, I can't live knowing something, ANYTHING could've happened to me and I'd never remembered, how on earth did it come to this, I sighed Levy finally finished her book getting a text from her mum and she headed home,

Now it was just me.. alone.. trying to figure out, myself, who I was.

I turned to my side my cuts stinging, I winced a little taking a few deep breathes ignoring the pain, I looked beside me becoming the slightest bit nostalgic, I felt lonely, like I needed a certain someone beside me, I smiled not knowing what crazy thoughts came in my mind, but I couldn't help but not be able to get the thought of loneliness out of my mind.

I sighed staring at the empty small space beside me, my eyes shut suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head a dark room, double sized bed, with no one next to it,

My eyes shot opened as I went back to the hospital room hearing a faint sound from outside the door, I froze hearing the door creak open,

W-whos there?

Turn around... it was a male voice, I slowly turned around ignoring the pain in my arm,

I was slightly shocked, a pink-haired - oh it was Natsu,

Wait shit Lucy stop moving, he ran up to me holding my arm helping me completely turn over,

You're an idiot you need to be more careful, he crossed his arms still looking slightly worried,

I turned a faint pink, did he forget that I forgot?

I know you don't remember anything about me. He suddenly blurted out breaking the unexpected eye contact we shared,

I-I'm sorry..

Don't. It's my own fault so you needn't apologise.

How is it your fault!? Don't blame yourself.
