As I fell down on my stomach I looked up at Natsu. That glare that he was giving and clutching his fist while crying looked exactly like the time when my future self died... "so do you care about her or not Natsu!" "GOD DAMMIT YOU FOOLS! OF COURSE I DO! SO IF YOU TRY TO EVEN LAY A FINGER ON HER I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" They looked at him horrified and flew away from him as far as possible.

He looked down at me not saying a word and yelled the words "RETREAT!" everyone followed him besides Mirajane and all the angels were cheering except for four. Me, Erza, Lisanna, and Elfman. Erza finally snapped and flew in front of all the devils that Natsu was leading and houlted them.

"So.. you just plan to leave her again. YOU SELFISH BASTARD!" She slapped him as hard as she could and it was so loud and so hard it left a bright red mark on his left cheek causing him to bleed. He stood there in shock for a minute or so and turned around to look at me as I was sitting on the ground clutching my right arm from the burns that the three devils left when they dragged me away from Natsu.

He slowly walked to me and as he reached me he fell on his knees and started to cry. "I.. I'm so sorry. Erza is right... I am a selfish bastard cause I didn't even know you were hurt and... I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGIVE ME!" He bowed to me saying sorry over and over.

"Now wait Natsu, I'm ok so please, you don't have to apologize" I said in a sweet voice. "YES I DO! BECAUSE OF ME YOU WERE LEFT ALONE AND BECAUSE OF ME YOU JUST GOT HURT!" I pulled him close and hugged him as tight as I could to comfort him and after awhile he stopped crying and said three words that we both felt for a long time, but just couldn't find them....
