A/N-The title is called Is This Just a Dream because after Lucy's is hurt she doesn't think she'll be able to move on. Her friendships begin to weaken and her attitude changes. However when she finds love from a boy she hated for betraying her as well, her life begins to go even better than it was before. Lucy however can't seem to cope with this and she feels like she is in a dream. A story of love, friendship, betrayal and forgiveness.
The title is also based off of Nelly's famous hit "Just a Dream" I was listening to it a lot and got this idea.
Anyway I hope you like this chapter. Advice and tips are greatly wanted as well ^^
Disclaimer-I don't own Fairy Tail. Just the plot of this fanfiction.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me Lucy?" Erza asked.
"You know I can't Erza. I have to meet Natsu today."
"Then bring him along. I'm sure my dad won't mind... At least I think he won't.."
"Look Erza you need to spend some time with your family. Besides you haven't seen them in ages. I will be fine here okay."
"Fine," Erza said disappointingly. "But promise that you will contact me if you get lonely or need some help."
"Of course," Lucy said smiling.
"And Lucy..." but before she could finish her sentence a loud noise came from the car. "Shoot I've got to go." She quickly hugged Lucy, and then picked up her bags. "Remember to tell me what happened with you and Natsu okay?" Lucy nodded her head and waved goodbye to Erza, who did the same thing as she quickly rushed down the stairs.
When she was outside Lucy popped her head out the window and saw Erza get into the car, but not before arguing with her driver about being patient. After that the car started and was soon out of Lucy's sight.
Once the car was gone, Lucy quickly went into her closet and grabbed a pretty blue dress. When she was done putting it on she rushed into the bathroom, applied her make-up with a spell, and rushed outside to meet Natsu.
As she was walking , Lucy felt nothing but excitement. She and Natsu have been together for over 2 years and they seemed to truly love each other. She kept thinking of what he wanted to tell her. Maybe he wanted to finally tell her how much he loved her since he never really said it during their relationship? Or maybe he wants to spend some quality time with her during the summer? All these thoughts caused Lucy to blush a deep red.
But because she was thinking so much she accidently bumped into someone and fell backwards. "Oh I'm so …..." but when she looked up to see who she hit her face went into utter shock. A boy with smooth short black hair and white/black eyes was starring at her. He was wearing blue jeans and a light blue shirt. "G-gray?" she said surprised.
"Lucy?" he asked shocked. "Is that really you?" Lucy nodded her head still looking blankly at him. Gray smiled and reached a hand out to Lucy. "It's been a long time hasn't it?" Lucy hesitated for a moment but grabbed his hand. "You're looking good as always." he said grinning.
Lucy's shocked expression quickly turned into anger. "What are you doing here Gray?"
Gray looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"
"Why did you come back here?"
"Oh well I'm here to visit my uncle. But let's not talk about me. How have you been Lucy?"
Lucy bit her tongue. "Fine," she said quickly.
"And what about Natsu and Erza?" he asked casually.
"They are okay to. Now if you would excuse me Gray, I have to go meet someone.."
"And who might that be?"
"None of your business!" She pushed Gray to the side and ran off.
Gray watched as she left. All he did was smile. "Still the same angry girl like before." He sighed. "I guess things don't change that much in this town."
Lucy kept running as fast as she could, while hopping that Gray didn't follow her. "Why the hell is he here?" she thought. "Why did he come back here?" Soon Lucy came to a brief stop by a bridge. She felt angry because Gray had kept her from Natsu. "I-I'll never forgive him if her m-made me late.."
She took a few more deep breaths and then picked up her head. She soon realized that she was on the bridge were she would be meeting Natsu. She gave a smile and was glad that she wasn't late. "I guess I'm a little early?" She looked at her watch and it said 12. "No I'm on time. I guess he's a little late."
She paced back and forth feeling nervous. What if he didn't remember or what if she didn't get the right time or even worse place? "Calm down Lucy.." She took a deep breath. "Everything will be alright."
Just then Lucy heard a noise coming from under the bridge. She peeped over the edge thinking that maybe Natsu was under it. For a moment she saw no one. Then she saw Natsu standing right there under her, his rosy hair was shinning from the sun. Lucy was just about to call out to him when she heard a familiar women's voice coming from next to him.
"Why can't you just choose Natsu?" Her voice sounded sad yet gentle.
"L-Lisanna?" Lucy said quietly.
"I k-know I have to b-but..."Natsu stuttered.
"Don't tell me you have feelings for her Natsu? I mean the only reason you dated her was because you felt sorry for her right?"
"Yes I did but I'm not sure if I should do it today..."
"That's what you said last time Nastu!" Lisanna shouted. "Either you tell her or I will."
"No don't!" he said quickly. "I will tell her when she comes."
"Good. I'm sick of sneaking around like this." Natsu agreed and Lisanna quickly embraced Natsu's lips and he held her as if she was his. Lucy's eyes widened. She found herself paralyzed. Their kiss looked like passionate lovers. Lucy has never experienced that with Natsu because he was always pushing her away when she tried.
She soon felt her heart pounding faster and faster. She clutched it and began to move backwards but Lisanna quickly heard her footsteps and looked up. Natsu soon followed and when he looked at Lucy his face looked serious. Lucy had never seen this face before. She knew in her heart that he was saying goodbye to her. She backed away more and then ran.
As she was running thoughts of Natsu came through her mind. He didn't seem to care that she was there one bit. Lucy sensed no guilt in his eyes about cheating on her. She also remembered Lisanna secretly grinning at her as she was starring at them.
She kept running until her legs stopped from exhaustion. She picked up her head and found herself in the park. She then gazed up into the sky and saw clouds beginning to form. Soon an unexpected rain came. Silver droplets came down hitting her face. " W-why did this have to happen? W-why he do this to me? Why of all people the people he could choose...?" Light tears flowed down Lucy's once rosy cheeks. Not the sound of thunder, nor the touch of rain made her move. She stood there emotionless.
She felt useless and unloved. What could she possibly do in this situation? She had never been so badly hurt in her life like this.
She stared lifelessly at the ground, with her blonde hair wet from the rain. Her auburn eyes were filled with nothing but redness. She had no one and had nowhere to go. Her best friend was gone for the whole summer and she had no family to turn to.
Lucy began thinking about how today went so well and how she was just so happy. She remembered seeing Erza glad that she was going back home for the summer. If only Lucy took her up on her offer and went with her. If she did that then maybe she wouldn't feel this pain right now, or at least if she did she would have Erza by her side.
She just stood there utterly alone. She had lost the only person she had ever loved. What seemed to hurt her even more was that Natsu didn't even seem to feel little remorse for doing this. Soon Lucy fell to the ground and went unconscious from a broken heart.
