Chapter 19 - Two Months Later

╚═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════╝

Before anyone could enjoy their time, two months had already passed--it was the middle of March.

Time sure seemed to rush by like there was no tomorrow, because damn, they had managed to survive their senior year thus far--only two more months left until they wouldn't be Highschool students anymore.

Gray, Erza, Natsu, Lucy, and Levy were still getting the silent treatment from Juvia, with the addition of Lyon, Meredy, and Jellal, too. The past two months had been complete and utter hell for the two groups of friends because going that long without speaking to the people who you thought made you happy was hard.

Juvia had to resist the urge of running into Gray's arms and expecting him to help because as far as she knew, he had completely given up hope in getting her back.

Plus, she still believed that Lucy and the others were the ones to make the social media page about her--which had been unattended for a while, leading the girl to think the Magnolians got what they wanted

Despite Lyon's vigorous attempts to convince Juvia and Meredy that Gray and his friends would never do such a thing, a part of him thought, maybe, just maybe, they would do something like they did to show Fioreans they were the alphas. Needless to say, he was completely neutral in the situation.

Lyon, still to this day, hadn't had a full-length conversation with the cousin of his; per Meredy's request. And to admit it, it was hard to not talk with a family member for 3 and a half months straight.

Even Jellal tried convincing his friend group that Erza and her friends would never stab someone behind their back, let alone make them feel special just to leave them in the dirt. The guy had known Erza basically all his life, and not even once had he seen Erza with the slightest bit of evil in her.

However, Jellal wasn't persuasive enough to change Meredy's mind, so now he had completely given up hope in the matter of hopefully making up.

It was all according to time now. Even with the pinkette's obvious shade towards the ones who hurt her BFF, in Jellal's mind, he was on Erza's side.

As for the Magnolian's, they had stopped trying to gain Juvia back because, no matter what they did, Meredy would be right around the corner to whisk Juvia away. They were now waiting for the perfect time - or at least until Juvia had found out she was wrong all along - to talk with the girl and possibly sort things out.

They remained far away from her territory because they knew she'd just run away if they tried to approach her. Like a fierce prey running away from his or her hunter.

Although they were basically out of Juvia's life, they couldn't help but notice how distant the bluenette was from her three other friends. They would sometimes see the girl alone at lunch, sitting on the benches outside of the lunchroom while within sat Meredy, Lyon, and Jellal, not knowing where Juvia was at.

They also observed that she was more reserved, tired, and completely shut off from the world.

Sometime in February, Juvia was sitting at lunch with Meredy, Lyon, and Jellal, with a perfectly placed Pb & J sandwich in front of her that remained untouched.

Her propped up hand held up her chin as she fixated her eyes on the plain tables whilst Meredy and the others chatted up.

Sometime in between, while Meredy had her mouth stuffed with the chocolate pudding Lyon gave her, she turned to Juvia who was especially quiet even with the talk around the topic of her favorite band "Are you going to eat your sandwich, Juvs?" she asks, her voice muffled with how much pudding was in her mouth.
