Next Day, Lucy's Pov, 

Igneel had forced Natsu into going to college. He only had a week left before it was the exams. After that he was out of college and into training to take over his family and what I learnt my own families companies. Natsu and I were to marry to join the companies together as both our fathers were happy we in the end fell in love with each other before finding out. I was reading a book in the living room downstairs as Igneel was in his office. Natsu and Igneel both wanted to take me out to eat later on.

I wasn't sure on where we was going but they both had the same smirk and planning look in their eyes. They was more alike than Natsu would agree to. While reading the book I heard the front door knocking as I turned my head to see out the window two people. I wasn't in the best place to see clearly as I got up grabbing the bookmark next to me. I placed it in my book before placing it down on the sofa as I went to the living room doorway. I watched as Virgo went to the door. Virgo had arrived this morning.

Natsu explained that only reason my father wasn't kicking up and coming down here to drag me back to his house was because he could have Virgo spy on us. Waiting for one small wrong move. What I had learnt last night about him, honest truth I wanted nothing to do with him at all. I wouldn't mind him dropping off the face of the world. Virgo opened the door to see two people around mine and Natsu's age. One being a male who was just a little taller than Natsu with blonde spiky hair and blue eyes.

The other next to him was a girl around my height with short white hair and blue eyes. "Hey Virgo" the girl gave a sweet smile as Virgo looked shocked a little confused. "Virgo who are they?" I asked getting the three of them to turn their heads to see me. I was confused slightly as the girl must of known Virgo. "Princess these are people who went to school with you" Virgo answered as it did shock me. In school? I didn't go into high school meaning it had to of been primary school. "You really lost memories?" the girl asked worried.

"The young lady is Yukino the other is Sting" Virgo informed me as I nodded a little confused but mostly in shock. Why would they be here? "We was wondering if we could talk to you Lucy?" Yukino soon asked as you could hear the worry, hope and sadness in her voice. It was easy to pick up on the emotions. In her eyes was worry and guilt while Sting's eyes had pure guilt. "Alright" I answered as Virgo looked at me a little shocked. She soon let them in as we all headed into the living room.

Virgo went to get drinks as I sat back down where I was with my book next to me. Yukino and Sting sitting on the other sofa in front of me. "Well by the looks of things you lost your memories once more" Yukino spoke as I was soon at the edge of my seat confused. Once more? This had happen before? "Last time it wasn't this big just an event" Yukino soon added and explained as I nodded letting out a small sigh of relief. I wouldn't want to put Natsu through so much that I already had. 

He was doing so much for me. When I woke up and didn't remember him... I saw the hurt in his eyes. I saw the pain on him. "So what brings you both here?" I soon asked as I wasn't sure on all this. I knew Virgo wouldn't lie to me about them being my old friends. She wasn't harsh or mean like so. "I want to say sorry for what I did all them years ago even if you remembered it or not" Sting soon spoke as my ears picked up on his voice. The same one that called Natsu last night. Have they been trying to see me this whole time?

If so how long? "What happened?" I then asked as Igneel soon showed up at the doorway getting me to look at him. I could tell he was thinking of throwing the two people in front of me out. Sting and Yukino were very quiet, looking at Igneel in fear. "The event they are about to tell you got your father to lock you away Lucy. You are sure you can handle this?" Igneel asked as Sting and Yukino were shocked. He was giving me a choice. From how Natsu spoke to Sting on the phone last night...

I could tell he wanted me no where near him. I loved Natsu even if I didn't have all my memories. I had some and just those memories and how we have been... We could put it in a way that I fell in love with him once again. "I want to know" I answered Igneel who walked over and sat down next to me, leaning back on the sofa. I looked toward Yukino and Sting. "We was in our last year in primary school, also being on the last day. Me and you were looking for Natsu and the others" Sting started to explain.

On the inside I had a bad feeling. I felt this wasn't going to lead anywhere nice. "While we was looking around me and you checked in the class room to where Virgo was thanking the teacher and explaining your illness" Sting was looking at the ground. Pure guilt was in his eyes as Yukino was looking at him worried. She had placed her hand on his leg rubbing it slightly as she was supporting him. "I was in shock as you dragged me to the empty field that was next to the very busy playground" Sting was struggling.

You could see he was. He felt bad. I saw it. I saw how sad, guilty and most of all empty he was feeling. He really was sorry about something. "Once in the playground you tried to explain you wanted to tell us all as a group with Natsu and I wasn't the best with controlling my own emotions. I got upset. Very upset that you would only tell Natsu about the fact you was very sick. I felt as if you didn't trust us" Sting then explained. This had me thinking. Some patches of my past were unknown.

I knew most things but there was some I couldn't remember. No matter how hard I tried. James would of told me that it would come back slowly. That the more I push the longer it would take. I hated the idea of waiting so long. "I started shouting at you not thinking that it was already hard for you as it was. I didn't think straight as you were standing there in front of me crying as my words got louder and harsher and without thinking I said something very out of order. Even for a child it was wrong" Sting made one of his hands into a fist.

His grip on his own jacket was very tight. "I brought your mother into it. It wasn't long ago she passed away on top. I-I was so mean and I didn't mean it. I was so hurt but what I did was very out of line because as I said the words, bringing your own mother into our talk that was when Natsu, Yukino, Rogue and Kagura showed. All their eyes had widen in pure shock well Natsu's face was in pure rage as you was shaking, going pale" Sting then explained my own heart getting hurt.

He said something bad toward my mother? She had only just passed at the time? Even for a kid that was out of order but in a way I betrayed them. I didn't trust them as it seemed. "Natsu had punched me around the face as hard as he could as Kagura had to be the one to hold him back. Rogue was holding me back as Yukino was trying to calm you down from crying. You soon started coughing, blood going onto the floor before to passed out forwards into Yukino's arms. We all was worried, Natsu the most" Sting's eyes were now watering.

He was really sorry about this. He had this guilt all this time. All these years. "We never saw you again after an ambulance took you and Natsu to the hospital. I was out of order. Honestly I should of died for what I had said" Sting then looked toward me. His eyes watering more as he was taking deep breaths. "I am so sorry Lucy. I am sorry" he spoke as my own body and heart moved on its own. I got up walking over to Sting. I ended up hugging him. Everyone was most likely shock but Sting hugged back.

I heard him start to cry softly. "I am sorry for not telling you all sooner also. I may not remember it all but you really are sorry. You have been carrying guilt for years. It is ok now." I spoke as Yukino was crying slightly also as I smiled at her. 

Sadly what I didn't know at that time.

What no one knew was what was to come.

What real pain I was about to bring.

To everyone who cared for me.

To Natsu.
