Chapter 6
Natsu
Sticks and stones may break my bones but silence will rip out your heart and beat it with a club. I have no idea what came over me that day.
Flashback
I pulled away and saw Lucy blushing like a tomato. After I realized what I did I quickly did the same.
"I-I-I'm so sorry! I have no idea what came over me! I-I got caught up in the moment a-and-"
"I have to go." Lucy said and ran faster than I had ever seen her run.
"I'm sorry."
End
Ever since then, she hasn't said a word to me. No calls, no texts, not even a simple hello when we pass each other in the hall. I hadn't told anybody what had happend, but I'm going to see if the guys can help me out.
Lucy
Relax Lucy. You're just going to explain to Levy Juvi and Erza what happned. After the, the thing, I haven't talked to Natsu. Not a word. I ran into Levy and the other girls.
"Hey Lu! Whats up." Levy said.
"Can we talk. I need to tell you guys something." I said and could see the worry on their faces.
"Of course. Lets go to the roof." Erza said.
Natsu
"Yo Brainfreeze! Metal Head!" I called out.
"Whats up pyro?" Gray said.
"I need help." I said. "Lucy wont talk to me. I messed up." I said.
"Sure. What did you do this time?" Gajeel asked. I sat down and took a deep breath.
"Ikissedher" I muttered.
"What?" They asked.
"Ikissedher" I said slightly louder.
"Use your words Pyro." Gray said.
"I KISSED HER!" I almost yelled. Gray and Gajeel looked at me like I had just murdered their family.
"Did she tell you about middle school?" Gray asked.
"Yea. Why?" I asked.
"She didn't tell him everything." Gajeel said shoving his face into his hands.
"What? What didn't she tell me?" I asked.
"Wait, when did you kiss her?" Gray asked.
"The other day?" I said. Gray and Gajeel gave each other a look, almost like they were scared.
"That marked 3 years." Gray said.
"3 years of what?! What aren't you telling me?" I yelled.
"As you know, Lucy was bullied in middle school. Hard. Every day she went home crying. From name calling to throwing punches or even locking her in the closet. But there was one day where someone crossed the line."
Gajeel started.
"She was walking home from school, her uniform was ripped, her hair was a mess, you could barely see the tear stains on her face from all the rain, that made her an easy target." Gray said.
"F-For what?" I asked.
"Rape. Loke saw her on the street and tried to rape her. The kiss you gave her. It wasn't her first. She had always told me that she wanted her first kiss to be special. But it was taken away from her. I've never seen her so," Gray waited a while to finish. "Broken. She didn't eat, she barely slept, she wasn't at school for weeks. When she did come back, the bullying got worse. People were calling her a slut, one person if pulled a knife on her. Once we got to high school, it just stopped. I don't know why to this day." I had to sit down and take a moment to try and process what was happening.
"We don't blame you, you couldn't have known. Please. Go talk to her." Gajeel said. I felt something inside me. I had never felt this way before. It was sadness, empathy, but what stood out the most, was anger. Anger towards Loke. Anger toward everyone at that school. Who would do something like that? Why would they?! UGGHH!
"I'm going to KILL that alley cat!" I hissed punching a wall.
"It's our turn to ask you a question. How do you feel about Lucy?" Gray asked. I knew the answer, all I had to do was say the words. So why was it so hard?
"I-I-"
Lucy
"HE KISSED YOU?!" Erza, Levy, and Juvia all yelled.
"Y-Yea. We were just talking and,"
"Were you just talking? Or was there more to it?" Levy asked.
"I-I don't know. M-Maybe?" I replied.
"Does he know about what happend in middle school?" Juvia asked.
"Yea. I told him." I said.
"Yea but does know?" Erza asked. All went deadly silent.
"No. I didn't tell him that. Gray probably has by now though." I said. All three girls pulled me into a tight hug.
"Now, We still want to know one thing." Juvia started.
"Do you like Natsu?" Erza and Levy asked. I opened my mouth but no words came out.
"It's okay. Lucy doesn't have to tell us if she doesn't want to." Juvia said.
"Take your time. We'll let you think about it." Erza said.
"Thank you." I said. The second the words came out of my mouth, Natsu burst through the door.
"We need to talk."
