Forgive & Forget

Chapter 7

Chapter Seven:

Natsu’s POV:

It has been a week since Lucy left. I look around the guild and see that most people are still really upset about Lucy’s sudden departure but at least we know she is safe, and she’s gonna come back anyway. I miss her so much, too much. Another thing Mira told me, when she said that I love Lucy, is that I can’t stand to be away from her for very long. That must have been why I was always in her apartment. But now I haven’t seen her for so long my heart aches when I think about her. Lisanna just gets on my nerves with her high pitched voice screaming ‘Natsu’ all the time. She is always making me do stuff for her that she could easily do herself, like carry her bag or put her coat away for her and she always complains so much if I forget something or don’t do something. I hate it, I can’t stand it anymore. I need to break up with her but I don’t want to hurt her feelings too much. I don’t care, I have to do it. I scan the guild again and see Lisanna by the bar talking to Lisanna. I wait a minute or two whilst they are still talking then I walk up to them.

“Hey Lisanna, can I speak to you outside the guild for a minute please.”

“Sure Natsu,” She says sounding cheery, making me feel worse.

We walk out the guild and Lisanna looks at me with a questioning look on her face.

“So what did you want Natsu?” she said seductively but I won’t fall for it anymore.

“Lisanna, I...I need to talk to you about our relationship,” I said hesitantly. “I think we should break up and, you know, just be friends, like old times.”

“OK,” she said as she sniffed quietly, bangs covering her eyes.

“It’s not you, it’s just that I need some space right now and I feel that if we spend a little less time with each other, we won’t fight so much.”

“Makes sense,” she said, just loud enough for me to hear. “I’ll be moving out then?”

“Yes please. You haven’t spent much time with your family since you got back. You could go and live with Mira or Elfman.” I said, trying to encourage her an to show her that I want her to be safe and with the people that will love her no matter what.

“Yeah,” she said, still quiet and ran towards my house. I guess she was eager to go or really upset or something. At least that’s out of the way.

Lisanna’s POV:

I ran straight to Natsu’s house and cried again. I knew it was coming, I thought I was prepared; but I wasn’t. It hurt me way more than ever thought it could. It felt like he had just ripped out my heart, stomped on it and burned it. ‘Be friends like old times,’ yeah right. I know he is just going to avoid me now or pretend that we never happened. I won’t let him just dismiss me. I don’t care if he needs space, I won’t let him have it. If I leave him alone he might find another girlfriend or he might go off and look for Lucy. Then I will be alone and I can’t allow that. I will stay as close to hime as possible. No matter what it takes!
