(Lucy's P.O.V)

When Natsu comes, I am waiting by the lake under the cherry blossom tree. I fold my red dress, a little nervous. When he asked me to meet him near the lake, he seemed calm but edgy at the same time. Levy helped me find a dress that she insisted he would like. She even added slight makeup on my face and braided my hair neatly down my back.

I told her about his expression when he asked me to meet him. I was worried that it would be something bad, but Levy told me not to worry. That he was just nervous, but is that true? Natsu always seemed so calm. Never once did I see him falter with anything.

Calm down, Lucy. I scold myself. It's just Natsu, there's nothing to be nervous about.

"Lucy." His voice was a little quiet and filled with regret. "You here." His hands were in his pockets and his hair was ruffled as if he just woke up. His eyes were a little bloodshot and I tense, worrying about what could possibility be wrong.

"Of course I am, silly." I laugh and punch his shoulder lightly—trying to lighten the mood. "Are you ok? You look like you haven't slept in a week!"

"Lucy, listen." He didn't even acknowledge my question or laugh with me. Something was wrong, this isn't the Natsu I know. He keeps standing and keeps a good distance between us. "We can't be together anymore."

"What?!" I don't want to hear what he says. "Your joking right?"

"No...we-, I'm breaking up with you." There's no emotion in his voice. Even his face looks stone cold. My vision begins to grow darker as I comprehend what he says.

"But why?" My voice is barely a whisper.

"I used you you. You seemed like an easy enough target." Was his reply. He was still emotionless-like a doll or a statue. "That's all there is to it. Everything meant nothing to me."

"So..." My voice cracks. "All of it was a joke? I trusted you! I gave myself to you! I even let you make love to me!" I fell on my knees, tearing my hair. "How heartless can you be?"

"That's just who I am." Those words felt like a slap to my face.

"But we were so happy..." I keep on kneeling, my legs shaking. Looks like what he says is true. Nothing that happened between us meant anything to him. All that pleasure and love I thought he gave me, was a lie.

And it hurt. More than anyone can know.

"Goodbye Lucy..." He turns around and doesn't even turn back. Sobbing and unable to stop, I run back to my cabin, ignoring the looks the other campers are giving me. Once I arrive, I collapse on my bed. My cries are muffled by my pillows, my sheets filling with my tears. But I don't care. My heart is broken in two and nothing can ever fix that.

Was everything really nothing to you, Natsu? Was I just a toy to be used during the summer to fulfill your sexual needs?

I wouldn't be surprised if he chose a girl every summer to fulfill his needs. Then would dump them at the end as if they were nothing. I guess I was his target this summer.

And I played right into his clutches.

After what seemed like an hour of crying my eyes out. I finally compose myself. None of the other girls were back yet. Thank goodness or else I don't know what I would do to explain. I can't even bring myself to tell Levy. Sniffling and wiping my nose with a tissue, I grab my suitcase and begin shoving all my clothes I inside. I can't stay here any longer, not when I would have to see his face.

I'm too much of a mess to call my parents. But I can't tell them anyway. They would have a fit and ground me for life. No, this is something I would have to keep deep down in my heart. A piece of memory that will be tucked away deep in my mind and will never come out.

"Lu-chan?" Levy calls and opens the cabin door. Her eyes open wide when she sees my tear streaked cheeks and my suitcase open with all my clothes. "What's wrong? Are you leaving?"

"Yes." I keep on packing and close the suitcase, zipping it shut. "I can't stay here anymore."

"Lu-chan, lets just talk about this first. Tell me what's wrong." Levy puts her hand on my shoulder, but I jerk away.

"There's nothing to talk about and stop me going." I finally face her. "So don't try to convince me otherwise."

"It's Natsu isn't it." It wasn't a question. I can tell Levy knew the instant she saw me.

"Yes..." I whisper, unable to lie to my best friend.

"What did he do?" I've never seen Levy look so scary.

"I'll tell you later." I swing my back pack over my shoulder and grab my suitcase. "I need to get out of here."

"Then let me come with you."

I glance at her. "No you can't, you love it here. And what about Gajeel?"

"I'll call him once I get home." She replies and starts to pack her things. "Your my best friend, your much more important."

"Bu-."

"No buts, I'm coming with you." She tells me firmly. I immediately fling my arms around her, grateful for her friendship.

After I help her pack, we call Makarov telling him we quit and will be leaving as soon as the next bus arrives. At first he sounds worried and asks us to explain why. We tell him we miss home and nothing else. Finally, he lets us go and makes us promise to call when we arrive home safely.

A half hour later, we're both on the bus. Too emotional to explain what happened to Levy, I lay my head against the window. Although Levy is worried about me, she knows I need space and start listening to music on her phone.

Although I stopped crying, my heart is an emotional mess. Trying to blink my tears, I stare straight ahead.

Not once do I look back.

End of book 1

***

Sorry for the emotional ending of this book. But luckily there's a second one, so Lucy's and Natsu's adventure hasn't ended quite yet!

It might be a while until it comes out. I'll probably start it when The Bad Boy of Fairy Tail High is almost done.

What do you think will happen in the second book?
