Hey guys, this is my very first fanfiction, ever. I do not own Fairy Tail (even though it would be pretty awesome) Hiro Mashima does. Please read and enjoy!
~Lucys POV~
I woke up early this morning in a good mood, mainly because Natsu didn't sneak into my bed overnight. I took a warm bath and used my favorite Vanilla Strawberry shampoo to wash my hair. Afterwards, I threw on cute pink top, dark denim jeans, black lace up boots, tied a bit of my hair to the side with a red ribbon, and a belt with my keys attached to it. I put on a little eyeliner and blush, ate breakfast and headed to the guild.
As usual, the guild was as rowdy as ever, chairs flying across the room and beer splashed on the floor. I dodged my way to the bar, careful not to not end up like Bisca, who was now out cold on the ground because a beer mug hit her in the head. I sat down in my favorite seat, and called for the beautiful bartender with silver hair.
"Mira!" No reply.
I sighed, it's been a little over a month since Lisanna came back from Edolas, and the guild was partying like crazy. And for the whole time, everyone has been completely ignoring me, as if I wasn't even there. Even my team, Team Natsu, wasn't taking any jobs because they were too busy listening to the white haired mage tells stories about her adventures in Edolas. This meant I had to take a lot of solo missions; my rent isn't going to pay itself.
Each time I came back from a mission, I would have the occasional cuts and bruises. The only people that did acknowledge me were Wendy, Carla, Gajeel, Lily, Levy, and Master. Wendy would of course heal my injuries and Levy would keep me company, most of the time. Right now she was on a job with team shadowgear, Gajeel and Lily are off training somewhere, And Wendy is with Carla, also on a job, leaving me alone for a while. I think the reason is that most of them were newcomers to the guild like me, and Lisanna was just a stranger to us. Lisanna seems like a really nice person, well according to the guild members said about her.
"Miiiiiraaa" I cooed, hoping to get even the slightest response.
"WHAT" she snapped and I flinched.
"Um, c-can I g-get a v-vanilla m-milk sh-shake?" I quivered under the evil glare she sent me.
"Fine" she retorted shoving the shake towards me, causing it to slosh some of the drink on the counter.
"Th-thanks Mira" I said, hoping to get a smile from the usually cheery takeover mage.
"Whatever" she grunted back as she turned around to talk to her dear little sister with a bright smile.
I slumped back into my chair with a sad expression, thinking 'how much worse can this get?' and I drank my shake. Suddenly, Natsu came over with his signature toothy grin and plopped himself in the chair next to me.
"Hey Luce" he casually said, as he put his arm around my shoulder, making me blush a bit.
You see, I've had this little crush on the Salamander, but he's such a dense idiot to notice. I guess it started when I fell from the Phantoms "sky dungeon" and him catching me. There's just something about his goofy grin, and messy pink -scratch that- salmon colored hair, and his muscular…wait, I'm getting off track.
"Y-yeah?" My god, I seriously need to stop stuttering today.
"So, I was thinking, Lisanna should join the team."
"S-sure, I have no problem with that." This is a good opportunity to know more about her, so now I won't feel as left out.
"No, I mean, I think Lisanna should take your place." He said in a serious tone.
"WH-What?!" I was shocked; did he realize how much those words hurt?
"Yeah, I mean, you aren't the best when it comes to fighting, and I always end up saving you because you can't handle it yourself." He stated nonchalantly.
Then Gray and Erza walked over.
"Yeah, now you can train more so you won't be so weak." The ice mage said rather coldly (pun intended).
"Y-you th-think I'm weak?" I'm weak? I'm not weak, N-no that can't be…
My eyes were starting to water, tears threatening to fall down, but Erza hadn't said anything yet, she'd back me up… right?
"Actually, I agree with these two. You always complain about your rent, now you won't have to share the reward when you go on a job." She said, taking a bite out of her strawberry cake.
I can't believe this. I feel like I've been betrayed, by my own nakama too. This all started with Lisanna and her returning from Edolas, no, I can't think that way, it wasn't her fault. Maybe they're right, maybe I am just…weak.
"D-do you guys really mean that?" I said still quite shocked by this whole situation.
"Of course we do." They said in union.
Then Lisanna bounced over to the bar with a smile that went from ear to ear, as if she was happy that I was being kicked off the team."
"So" she said in a sing song voice
"Are you okay with this?" she smiled brightly.
No, no I am definitely not okay with this. I am not okay with being called weak or getting kicked of my own team. I am not okay with being thrown away like trash. I am not okay with being ignored every single day for the past month and then this happening I. Am. NOT. OKAY. But I can't tell them that, most of the things that they said are true. And I also can't go whining and crying about this. I have to respect their decision.
"Yeah, it's okay." I said after a moment, with a smile plastered on my face, but that smile was a sad smile.
"Yeah! Thanks Luce! You're the best!" Natsu exclaimed with the widest grin I've ever seen.
"C'mon guys! Let's go on a job! Now we won't have any dead weight holding us back!"
And with that, my heart shattered into a million pieces, a single tear rolled down my cheek, and I quickly wiped it away. I got up from my seat and ran out of the guild hoping nobody noticed, not that anyone would.
Thanks for reading this guys!
