Chapter 2

Juvia's POV

Ha

Ha

Ha

I'm so pathetic... how could I have not seen the signs..

Natsu was always watching Lucy and I deluded myself into thinking she liked Gray, just to make myself feel better.

Natsu was never interested in me...

Lucy is a backstabbing bitch... as her best friend she could've just told me instead of letting me talk about Natsu all summer while she was sucking his face afterwards.

I don't even know if I can face her right now..

I'm just glad no one saw my confession completely blowing up at my face or so I thought.

☯💀☯💀☯💀

I walked back to my friends all smiley as if nothing happened... I had too... because if I didn't I would cry, and I rather save that for when I'm alone and just hear the sound of my own heart breaking.

I couldn't burden my friends with that...

Erza: Hey Juvia how did it go? Spill!

Mira: Oh! YEAH! Lucy was just telling us how nervous you've been all day

My blood was boiling and if someone touched me they'd get burned by the heat.

I hated Lucy so much for what she did to me, and I hated anyone else who knew and still let me embarrass myself.

Lucy was never truly my best friend.

Juvia: *scoffs* Ha. Lucy was telling you guys all that. Tch. Did she tell you anything else that you guys care to sh-

As I was about to give them a piece of my mind, a dark prince came to save the day.

Gray: *puts arm around Juvia* Woah there Juves! I can't believe you forgot about me. It hurts you know

Gray?

Why is he here right now? Why is his arm around me? Why is he making it so obvious that he doesn't want me to confront Lucy?

Is it because he knew? He knew this would happen and he's protecting Lucy...

Meredy: Sorry I'm late! I was with Gray looking for Juvia!

I'm so confused..

Gray: Come on Juvia.. let's go home together, we might as well

Before I got a chance to say anything, Gray quickly dragged me away from my friends, but I could feel the anger inside me cool down because of his cold touch.

Juvia: *annoyed* Can you let go of me now? They didn't follow so let go!

Gray: *annoyed* Shouldn't you be thanking me instead of bitching in my ear?

Juvia: OH! I'm supposed to thank you for protecting your Lucy.

Gray: *face palm* Juvia what the fuck? I saw what happened... at the bleachers... Mer and I were looking for you and we witnessed the whole thing...

Juvia: *embarrassed* So you came here to blackmail me? To make me into your personal disgusting slave?

Gray: *Angry* JUVIA JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR A SECOND! I came here to protect you... we're not friends now but we used to be, so I know how you deal with things that hurt you. You may be a bright ball of energy, but you're more sensitive than anyone. I just wanted to make sure you were o-

Without even realizing it my body instinctively moved on its own as my arms wrapped around his slim body as warm tears slowly began to fall from my face.

He didn't have to comfort me.. and he didn't have to protect me.. but he did and in that moment, he was the person I cherished most in the world.

Gray didn't judge me, and he didn't ask questions, all he did was wrap his strong arms around me and comforted me with warmth as I cried my eyes out in pain, my first unrequited heart break destroyed me.

☯💀☯💀☯💀

Meredy's POV

As Gray dragged Juvia away... a bit of jealousy came over me.

Gray didn't have to do that, he didn't have to stop Juvia and he didn't have to protect her, but he did and at that moment I envied and hated Juvia for a split second.

Evergreen: Mmh? I wonder what that was all about

Cana: Yeah you're tell me. Since when does our Juvia give ice boy the time of day

Lucy: *chuckling* No you're telling me, it's so suspic-

Meredy: *Angry* Shut up Lucy, you don't get to say anything

Mira: Woah... Mer what's wr-

Meredy: Stay out of this Mira. This is between Juvia and Lucy, but since I witnessed it, it involves me too and I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS IF ALL OF OUR FRIENDS KNOW WHAT A TWO-TIMING BITCH YOU TRULY ARE!

Lucy: *shocked* W-What's wrong Mer?

Meredy: You've always loved playing the victim, but you're the criminal. We all know Juvia has been crushing on Natsu since FOREVER! Right?

Girls: Yeah...

Meredy: And we all knew she was confessing today right?

Girls: Yeah

Meredy: And we all knew how much Lucy "supported" Juvia right

Girls: Yeah.. where are you going with this?

Meredy: Juvia did in fact confess today... Gray and I so happen to be there, but this fake ass bitch of a friend Lucy has been DATING Natsu since summer. And she willingly let Juvia confess to Natsu and embarrassed her. What type of friend does that? Explain Lucy

The shock on everyone's face was priceless... Lucy looked pale as a ghost, her secret was out, and no one was going to support her.

Lucy: I-It just sort of happened... and I wanted to tell Juvia, but I felt that she deserved to be rejected for a change because SHE'S NOT THE ANGEL EVERYONE THINKS! SHE'S NOT OUR PRECIOUS GIRL! And I wanted her to understand that.

No one said anything, the air was unbearable.

Erza: *Scoffs* So you did this to hurt Juvia? She's your best friend

Lucy: So, what? Why did I have to be the one who had to try so hard to be accepted by the guys? Why did I have to change my personality so people can like m-

*Slap*

Erza: YOU ARE A FUCKING BITCH! Juvia envied you, she wanted to have the confidence you had to be friends with everyone. Juvia wished to be you, but she never had any ill feelings towards you. Don't look for sympathy here, there isn't any. And those boys you tried so hard to befriend are your only friends now because if I see you near us again, I'll do more than slap you. And if I see Natsu, I'm punching him. You're pathetic

Tears began to fall from Lucy's red face, but no one showed sympathy, our faces were as cold as ice.

Lucy grabbed her stuff and walked away, probably praying we'd say something to stop her, but we didn't. We turned and walked away hoping Juvia would come to us.

☯💀☯💀☯💀

Gray's POV

Juvia cried until she couldn't anymore... she ended up falling asleep in my arms.

Her eyes were stained and puffy due to all her crying and although I'd never say this out loud... her crying face is so beautiful.

I hated Lucy and Natsu for hurting her that way.

Don't get me wrong Juvia and I bicker like children, but that's because we're not friends like that, but those two were the most important people to her.

This anger in me was too much... it terrified me that I got so angry over Juvia.

Well, I already know why... it's because Juvia is the girl I like.

Juvia Lockser has been the girl of my dreams since freshman year... and while she was following Natsu around, I was following her.

I slowly opened the door to my house, while carrying Juvia bridal style.

My heart was beating so fast having her so close to me.

I quietly opened the door to the guest room and placed her warm body onto the silky soft bed.

Her angel pale skin made her look like sleeping beauty.

Juvia: *sleepy* D-Don't g-go *mumbles* Gray..

Her hand quickly intertwined with mines, and I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks.

I've wished for this moment more times that I can count... but this is too sudden

Gray: *Whispering* You deserve much better Juves... and although you may never know this I could have sworn Natsu liked you back...

*Flashback*

Gray: So, you and Lucy huh?

Natsu: *faint blush* N-No... she's just my best friend

Gray: *mocking* OH! So, what about Juvia?

Natsu: *Blushing* S-She's cute... w-we don't talk much, but she's very beautiful

Gray: Ah, so do I hear a crush?

Natsu: SHUT UP! M-Maybe...

*Flashback ends*

Maybe you and I were meant instead of you and him, Juves.

As her eyes slowly closed again I gently laid next her still holding her hand and slowly whispered into her ear.

"You're the one I like Juvia"

As I drifted off to sleep with her in my arms.

☯💀☯💀☯💀

Juvia's POV

I don't remember falling asleep in Gray's arms, let alone remember coming into his house, but I wasn't embarrassed to know that when I woke up Gray was lying next to me holding my hand to comfort me through the pain.

Even though Gray and I were always out on each other's throats... he was always like this when I needed it.

I gently placed my hand around Gray's face and slowly whispered:

"Thank you... I wish it was you that I loved"

I quickly gathered my stuff and left...

Thankfully my house was around the corner, but I wondered what's happened after I left...

Juvia: AH let me check my phone.

I reached into my pursue to grab my phone and the truth was already out..

*Prettiest Fairy Girls GC*

Mira: Hey Juvi! If you get a chance and read this just know we know the truth and we're all on your side. Lucy is a disgusting human being

Evergreen: We love you Juvis! So, contact us soon okay!

Ultear: Ugh she's still in the gc

Lucy H. was kicked out by Erza

Wendy: Anyways screw that bitch, she's ungrateful

Levy: She didn't deserve you Juv! She was just jealous of you!

Erza: Don't worry, we're not friends with Natsu anymore, so you won't see him as much!

Cana: WE LOVE YOU OKAY! PLEASE TALK TO US WHEN YOU GET THE CHANCE!

*Back to IRL*

Honestly I felt a little sad for Lucy... I didn't want this to happen to her, but a part of me is glad to know that even though Lucy was supposed to be my best friend, these girls here have my back.

My only concern now is how I'm going to face Natsu and how I'm going to face them together as a couple...

I wonder how Gray must feel since Lucy was his crush

☯💀☯💀☯💀

When I finally reached home, I showered, changed, and went straight to sleep. I didn't want to think about this anymore. I just wanted this day to be over.

Thinking about it hurt so much...

I just want this nightmare to be over.

SOOO WHAT DO WE THINK??? LATER ON, IN THE STORY! THE MISSING PIECES WILL BE REVEALED!
