Chapter 6
A person in need
Levy's p.o.v
I want to go after her,I really did.But for some reason,my body won't move.Why won't I go up there and talk to her?It's not like I'm mad at her,it's just that I...I don't know how to help her.She's one of my best friends and I don't know what to do.What can I do?I've been ignoring her a little bit too.But,why?I always thought that (y/n) was a happy person,and she would never care about or do these types of things.
After a little while,I've started noticing the little things.First she would come in with tear stains on her face,then I started noticing how to she starting wearing long sleeved shirts and pants,even in the summer.(Y/n) was always a weird person,so I never put any thought into it.But when she started coming in with bruises,I started to worry.I was too stupid not to ask her.Too caught up in the fact that Lisanna was back.We were all caught up in that fact to know that one of our own was hurting.We were the cause of this mess,and I know it now.I just don't know how to fix it.
(Y/n)'s p.o.v
I laid down on my bed,looking up at the ceiling as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.I rubbed my wrist in shame.I felt horrible.So,so horrible.For putting my friends through this,my family through this.But...do they consider me as a friend?A family member?No matter how hard I try to not think about it,I still think that I shouldn't be here.That I need to disappear.
I thought back to my nightmare I had before,and frowned."Mom..."I whispered,putting my hand over my heart.Tears started filling my eyes,and I tried to hold them in.I can't forget her.No matter how hard I try.It's too painful.I sighed,thinking I must look like a pathetic idiot,knowing people had bigger and worse problems than me.I wanted to stop feeling sorry for myself,and become a better person.But...I can't do it."I've become too dependent."I said to myself,sitting up on the headboard of my bed."Stupid...stupid...stupid!"I whispered,hitting my head on the wood behind me.How can I do this?How can I continue on in this world,knowing the things I do?I need help.I know I do,but I can't accept it.I stopped hitting my head,and put my head in my hands,letting the tears fall.
Rogue p.o.v
I looked at my phone lacrima,wondering whether I should do this or not.This was really bothering me,and I don't know what to do.Uh!This is so frustrating!
A short haired,blonde came over to me and stood in front of me with his arms crossed.Behind him was a reddish,pinkish exceed in a blue jacket."Hey man.You ok?"He question,furrowing his eyes together.I hated it when he did this.He looks at me with concern and pity,when I don't need it.
Not wanting him to worry anymore,I nodded,and dismissed his thoughts."I'm fine,Sting.Don't worry about me."I told him,and he sighed warily."Ok.I'll be by the pool of you need me."He said before walking away,the exceed shuffling behind him.I breathed a sigh of relief,and got up,walking to the infirmary to check up on Frosch.After she broke her paw,I've been depressed,knowing I was the cause for it.Frosch was just trying to cheer me up,but I got mad at her and she fell and broke her paw.She won't talk to me and I'm not blaming her either.
Once I got to my destination,I sat down next to the bed.She was currently sleeping,with an uncomfortable look on her face.Probably because she couldn't walk around as much as she used to.I know she can fly everywhere,but she has low magic energy,and can't fly very long.I laid my head on the bed and closed my eyes."Rogue."I heard Frosch call,making me look up."Yes Frosch?"I answered,and Frosch opened her eyes and looked at me."Frosch was wondering if Frosch,and Rogue will ever see that nice lady again."She stated and I felt my face heat up a little when I figured out who she was actually talking about."Um...maybe.I–"I stopped,once I saw that Frosch was about to cry."Nice lady made Rogue smile.Frosch wants to see Rogue smile again."I sighed,and gave Frosch a pat on her head."We will see Frosch."I told her,and she smiled again.
Ok,I know what to do now.I grabbed my lacrima out of my pocket,and walked to my room in the dorm section of the guild.I scrolled through my contact list and saw (Y/n)'s number.I kind of got (stole) the number from one of the info brokers in this part of Fiore.Maybe,just maybe I could smile again.
(Y/n)'s p.o.v
The back of my head was burning,and I couldn't stop crying.My hands were covered in blood from touching the back of my head.I heard my phone buzzing,and looked on my nightstand,to see that Rogue had texted me.'Hi.I wanted to know if you wanted to meet up later?'Was what the text said.I grabbed the flat lacrima,which I just call a phone,in my shaky hands,and tried to reply.'Sure.Where do you want me to go?'I texted,after messing up a couple times.I wiped my eyes of the tears,getting a little bit of blood on my face.
I grabbed a napkin out of my drawer and wiped my face and hands.My phone ringed again,and I put the napkin down and looked at the text.'At the park in an hour.The one by the train station maybe.I'm suppose to be heading over to Magnolia anyways.'I quickly sent a text saying that I agreed with the idea and quickly went to shower.I washed the blood of of me,and wrapped a towel around me.I put on some regular black tights,with a long sleeved (favorite anime) shirt,and some black converse.I left my hair the way it was and walked downstairs.I walked past Levy,who was sleeping on the couch,and out the door.I locked it and walked slowly to the park.I held put a hand to my keys and sighed.I didn't want to take my celestial keys because I was too dependent on them.I've heard people call me weak because of that,so I'm going to try and be less dependent on them.But the stupid contract says I have to be near someone at all times.'I doubt that'll ever happen.Stupid weakling.'The voice said and I said nothing in response.
Once I got to the park,I sat down on one of the benches,and waited.I checked the time on my watch and it was 8 p.m.2 hours until I have to be back home.I set a timer for 9:30,so I would know when to go back home.Why am I even here?What's the point of trying to be happy,when I know that happiness is an illusion in my life.I heard footsteps coming my way,and looked up to see Rogue coming towards me.I waved at him,and he waved back,a small smile settling on his face."Hey Rogue-kun."I greeted and got up,hugging him afterwards.He hugged me back and we stayed like that for a couple of seconds.
After we pulled apart,we sat down on the bench."So what did you want to talk about?"I asked,and turned my head to face him."Um...it's about this friend I have.I...need some advice."He told me,while twirling his thumbs."Ok.What is it?"I replied and his face turned red a little bit.Probably from embarrassment or something."Well...my friend,she lost something...something very important.She's been really upset lately and I really don't know what to do.Do you have any suggestions?"He says nervously."Um...let me think.Well maybe...if you get her to talk.See how she's feeling,and maybe find a way to make her feel better."I suggested,pushing my two index fingers together.I wasn't really good with this advice stuff."Like what?"He asked,tilting his head slightly.'Cute.Wait what?'I mentally slap myself before answering."Well take her to do something she really likes.For instance...what's her favorite food?"I asked,bringing my knees to my chest,and putting my head on them."Rice balls."He answered,and I nodded.
"Well surprise her with that.And maybe offer her some help in finding that thing she lost.Two sets of hands are better than one."I said and he looked down."What if the thing that she lost,couldn't be found or replaced?"He asked sadly,and I was silent for a few moments."Well then all you have to do is stand by her.Make sure she is alright and is doing well until she feels better."I said putting my hand on his shoulder for a couple of seconds before removing it.
He smiled and me and nodded."Thanks (Y/n)-san.I'll try it the next time I see her."He said and I smiled back."No problem.I'm happy to help someone who needs it."I said to him."How is Frosch doing anyways?"I question,remembering him telling me Frosch was hurt.A frown was evident on his face,and I started thinking I did something wrong."Y-You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."I quickly said afterwards,but he shook his head."No,it's alright.Frosch is fine.The doctor said she'd be better in a couple weeks."He told me,and I nodded."Ok,that's good."I replied,but the frown was still on face.Ok (y/n),it's time for you to take a risk and go for it.
I wrapped my arms around his stomach and put my head on his chest.I looked up at him,and smiled.Again,probably taking a big risk,and probably making him freaked out by me,but there's no turning back now."Don't worry,it'll be fine."I said happily,laughing quietly at his shocked face.His face quickly turned red and he started stuttering profoundly."I-I-I-I-I..."I laughed at him,and made him wrap his arms around me,resuming my position before.We were like that for a while,and it was pretty comfortable.I was about to fall asleep,until Rogue started talking."Thank you,I appreciate it."He whispered,and I smiled lightly,snuggling into him more.
Some time later,I felt something shaking me.I opened my eyes and looked up,seeing Rogue with an apologetic look on his face,and said,"I'm sorry to wake you up,but your watch is beeping."And he was right.I looked at my watch,and saw it was 9:30.I turned the timer off,and sat up."I see.Thanks for telling me."I answered,standing up and bowing."I have to go now.It was nice seeing you."I said and he nodded and stood up too."You too."He said and started walking away."We should do this again sometime."I called out and he turned around,smiled,and said,"Sure.As long as I get to know you better.".He then turned back around.He soon disappeared from my sight,and I was left standing there with a dumb smile on my face.
I snapped out of it,and looked at my watch."9:45!I have to get home!"I quickly started running home,and got my apartment key out of my pocket.Once I got home,I unlocked my door,and quietly opened the door.I shut it,and sneaked passed Levy on the couch,who was still sleeping.Thank goodness."(Y/n)..."I heard Levy called out once I got to the stairs.I turned around,and saw she was still sleeping.
I walked back to her,and put the blanket back over her.I walked upstairs and went to my room.I didn't bother changing into my nightclothes,so I just took of my shoes,and plopped on my bed.My last thought before I fell asleep was,'How in the heck did Rogue get my number?'.
