*Natsu's Pov*

I felt the tears swelling up in my eyes. "No..."

Lucy looked down at the ground with a sorrow filled expression on her pure face.

I shook my head and stood up, pacing around the room. "No no no no!" I shouted.

"Lucy..." Amaya spoke grievously.

"How long do you have?" I asked her hastily. 

Lucy looked up at me. "Not long."

"How long Lucy!" I shouted, I didn't mean to but it came out harsher than I wanted it to.

Lucy took a deep breath before answering, I could tell she was fighting back the erge to cry. 

"One week."

I fell to my knees. "This cant be happening."

I heard the sound of Amaya lose control of her emotions. Her child like crys filled the room. 

Lucy is dying. Wendy told her there was nothing her magic could do about it. 

"What is killing you?!" That's when the tears began to fall from my own eyes. 

"Wendy tells me its a Brain Tumor. She says she has no idea how she missed it during my last treatment." Lucy sat on the couch.

I moved over to her and took her hands in mine. "Please tell me this isn't true Luc. I cant lose you again."

Lucy place one of hands gently on my face. "I wish I could say it isn't true. But I saw it for myself. I'm not even sure how I'm alive right now. Its taken over so much of my brain that I should be dead. That's why Wendy gave me a week, at best."

"Oh god...Lucy...."I shook my head as I cried into her lap.

Amaya got up from her spot on the floor and ran to Lucy. Wrapping her arms around her and holding her tightly.

"I'm so sorry." Lucy spoke softly.

I looked up at her and grabbed her face lightly, looking into her beautiful brown eyes. "Don't you dare be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Luc. None of this would have happened if I wasn't so powerless."

"Natsu, you cant blame yourself for something I did." Lucy smiled at me lovingly.

"Lucy I begged you to go on that mission with me. If I had just let it go after the first time you had said no, you'd still be perfect." 

"Maybe this is all happening for a reason. Maybe its my destiny." She said positively.

*Standing in the guild a few hours later*

"Lucy and I have some devastating news." I said to the guild as they all quieted down when we got their attention.

Anger and sorrow was building up inside me, every second I stood here it grew. I was so mad at myself for letting this happen to Lucy that it was honestly hard for me to think straight. I could never forgive myself for what I had done to her.

"What's wrong?" Mira asked worriedly.

Lucy sat up on the bar so everyone could see and hear her. She looked down at the floor and swung her feet.

"Im dying." She paused as she looked up, her eyes suddenly red and swollen. 

I heard the guild gasp at her words. Poor Levy's eyes watered instantly, her small hands clasped over her mouth.

"Wendy tells me I have a week to live, at most. A tumor has taken over my Brain, and she isn't even sure how I'm still alive." Lucy added.

"Lucy.."Levy began to cry wholeheartedly.

Gajeel wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. Even his eyes were moistened by the wave of sorrow that had washed over the guild members.

"This can't be true!" Erza shouted.

The fierce redhead was never able to accept things very easily. She was constantly in denial, when it comes to things that bring her a great deal of pain.

"There must be some way to fix it!" Gray added in hopefully.

Lucy shook her head, she let a few tears escape her eyes before going on. 

"No, not even Wendy's magic could do anything to even slow it down. Its too far gone for anything to be done." 

Everyone was silent for what seemed like forever. Taking in the fact that we were going to lose Lucy for good. When she was in a coma everyone had been convince she was going to die. 

But when she woke up it brought everyone's spirits back up. Now they've just been expected to be able to say goodbye this time.

I looked to Lucy, though it was hard to see with the blurry coating over my eyes. Everything had just started to get better for us. I cant imagine what its going to be like without her.

I was so in love with her, she was my best friend in the entire world. Not a single person could even begin to compare to her.

I put my arm around Lucy, she looked up at me and then threw her arms around me and hugged me tightly.

I could tell seeing everyone like this was killing her faster than her tumor. She had never been one for sorrow. Such an amazing girl should never be feeling this much pain.

Mutters through out the guild were hear but not loud enough to make any sense of. Every face I saw in the crowd was red and glistening with tears.

"Natsu, I cant do this!" Lucy cried into my chest.

"Yes you can, Luc. You are strong." I whimpered to just her as I tightened both my arms around her protectively.

She shook her head. "No...I wish this all would end."

"Soon you wont feel a thing Luc, you can be free from all this pain." I whimpered.

It was true, the only upside to this is that Lucy will feel nothing in the end. She will be free from this and never have to worry about a thing. 

Why life was so cruel, I'll never know. But I do know that all the wrong things happen to the best people. People who could never deserve such a merciless fate.
