Present
Another train passed by, the speed making her blonde hair flutter against the wind. However, Lucy seemed not bothered by it, instead continuing on to stare straight ahead, a faraway look in her usual sparkly chocolate brown eyes.
Her suitcase was just by her side, rattling a little but it all turned back to normal just as soon as it began. The train passed her, the chattering of the crowd filling the silence left behind.
'Ugh my head!' Lucy groaned, burying her face in her hands.
What was all this? What was she even doing?
Was this even right?
Why was she even here?
She wasn't meant to be here.
She was meant to be home.
But what even was home?
So all this was right, right?

"I guess this is it. Another goodbye."
She would run away.

She let out a small laugh, holding her right hand close to her heart, a content smile on her face.
"So." she said, turning to her side. "Now that you know everything, what's the verdict?.."
"..Do you hate me too?"
Vera's teary, bright blue eyes stared right back at Lucy's sparkly chocolate ones and a choked sob escaped her.
"W-Why?" she croaked, burying her face in her hands. "Why-How can I ever hate you? How can anyone?"
"You can't?" Lucy seemed genuinely surprised. "I wonder...then why do I hate myself so much?"

Fanfiction"So.." he began, shifting to look at her now instead. "Why'd you leave?" There it was, the question she had dreaded from the start. Lucy closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath. Her hand shifted just a little, pulling away from his warm one. 'Becau...
