Saving You (NaLu)

Chapter 12

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in like forever! I started a new account and have been working on that. Not to mention school started. But anyways, here's the next chapter!

I begin to cry as I'm once again alone. I just look out the window and up at the moon as I allow the tears to slip down my cheeks.

"Why am I back here?" I ask myself out loud. "I left so I don't have to worry about people ignoring me. I left so I could find others who enjoyed my company and liked me for me."

I lay back down and try to fall asleep. After about an hour, I finally fell back asleep.

*Grey*

I wake up and get ready for the day.

I make my way to the guild. I open the doors and everyone is there; drinking, eating, laughing. I'm still tired so I go and sit down at an empty table.

After a few minutes, a certain blue haired mage walks up to me.

"Um...good morning Grey." she says.

"Oh hey Juvia. Good morning."

"Um....may Juvia sit?"

"Yeah sure!" she sits down next to me.

"So um...is Lucy alright?"

"Yeah, she's alright. She's actually up in the infirmary." I say, pointing upwards.

"That's good."

"Yeah." I wonder how Lucy is doing right now....

*Lucy*

I can't help but think what everyone is doing. It didn't seem that anyone cares that I was back.

I feel tears stinging at the brim of my eyelids. I feel the flow free and fall off my face.

Why? Why did they come? Why would they come?

Questions keep flowing through my mind like leaves flow through a river. The more I thought, the more I cried.

I hear a faint knock on the door. I quickly wipe my eyes.

"Come in." I say. The door opens but no one is there. I hear small footsteps and then a tug on the sheets. I look down at my feet to see tiny blue ears popping up. I can't help but laugh. "Hi Happy." I say cheerfully. He finally climbs all the way up and plops down at my feet. He's huffing and puffing like he just ran a marathon.

"How are you doing Lucy?" he asks. The twinkle his eyes once had are starting to reappear.

"I'm doing fine! And how about you?"

"Same." he says, sounding a bit down.

"Is everything alright Happy?"

"Yeah. It's just been really lonely since you left. And what bothered me the most was that no one noticed." His smile slips from his furry face.

"It's okay Happy! It's not like I died!" I say, forcing a smile.

"But they acted as if you did! Like you never existed!" he stands up on my tiny blue legs. His eyes are brimming with tears. "And don't act like it doesn't bother you!" my smile slips from my face.

"You're right Happy. It does bother me. It hurts to know that the people you once considered your friends act as if you don't exist." I look up at his sad face. I smile a sad smile and laugh a sad laugh. "But hey! You know what they say, the ones you love the most are the ones that hurt you the most."

*Natsu*

I walk into the guild and head straight for Lucy's room. I walk to her door but stop before I open it.

"But hey! You know what they say, the ones you love the most are the ones that hurt you the most." Lucy sounds sad as she says that. The door is cracked so I lean close and see Happy standing on the bed. His eyes have tears leaking from them.

"Lucy...." I watch as he walk up to her and hugs her. She pulls him close and they both begin to sob quietly.

Lucy...
