The Red String of Fate [ NaLu ]

Chapter 8

IT'S FINALY SNOWING IN SCOTLAND! Well where I live. Anyways enjoy another chapter!

"W-What" I heard someone say. Quickly I shoved him off of me and sat back, stunned. He did the same yet had a slower reaction.
"S-Sorry" he managed to say. "I-I really didn't mean to" he stared at me with his shocked expression covering his face. My attention suddenly was drawn to Natsu who was also shocked.
"G-Game over" Shiori stuttered. Yuu helped me up while Shiori helped Doan up. I didn't take my eyes of Natsu. I felt guilt yet I didn't mean to kiss Doan nor did he mean to kiss me.
"I-I'm sorry too" I meant to say it to Doan but it was directed at Natsu
"It's fine it was a accident" he spoke with no emotion.
"Well let's get cooking shall we!" Hanako drew attention to herself.
"O-Of course, come one Jude" I then remembered my father. I looked at him. He was scowling, even though it was a accident.
"Jude?" Asked Doan going over to him "sorry, let's go" he left me.

"Ok guys, now we can do as we please, no more games just whatever you want." Shiori quickly moved on.
"I'm going to go and sun bathe." Hanako left.
"Me and Carla shall go swimming" Wendy smiled gleefully.
"Can we join you?" Asked Shiori speaking for her and Yuu.
"Of course!" They all left Natsu and I alone.
"Want to go a walk?" Asked Natsu.
"Sure"

It was still warm, however Natsu brought his hoddie with him. "I am sorry" I felt guilty about earlier.
"Honestly it's fine" he smiled at me taking my hand.
"I just feel bad that's all" I stopped in my tracks.
"Luce I'm honestly okay with it" he grinned at me. He lightly kissed my cheek and pulled me forward to walk again.
"When should we go back?" I asked.
"Dunno, think your dads okay with me?" He asked in a more serious tone.
"He is weirdly quiet." I laughed slightly.
"True" Natsu laughed with me.
"We should head back or his imagination could be lethal." I turn in the other direction.
"Luce wait" he grabbed my hand again pulling me back into his bare chest. "I just want you to know that you shouldn't feel guilty for that kiss" he rested his chin on top of my head. My hands found his way to his and held them.
"Alright" I sighed making him let go.
"One thing though" he came close to me and kissed me. His lips were dryer than usual but he was still Natsu, still the boy I fell and I am in love with

Doan's cooking was amazing. I didn't eat a lot but I ate more than usual. "Amazing!" Shiori sat back full.
"We should hurry up and pack up" my father stood up.
"I will help" Natsu perked up. I stared at the two but Natsu was serious.
"Okay then you two get to it" Shiori dismissed them.
"Want he-"
"SH!" Shiori stopped Yuu. She wanted my father to accept Natsu. She wanted me to be happy, I want her to be happy. She was fun and a bubbly character when she wasn't worrying about Hanako, who was already drunk.

The train journey home was nothing special. Wendy left us at the station as Natsu's mum was there for her. We all headed home. However when we got there someone was sitting outside on the wall. "Hello?" Asked Shiori. I didn't recognise him.
"I'm looking for Jude heartfilia" the man spoke with a Irish accent.
"I am him" my father stepped forward.
"May we go inside, I suggest this is something you will want to know with out a audience" the man gestured towards us.
"O-Of course" my father stuttered. I stared at him confused.
"Everyone please go inside Shiori and I will follow through soon." Yuu hurried us in and sat us down in the living room.

Hanako kept trying to peak outside but Yuu constantly scolded her. Doan sat next to Natsu and I. Hanako's husband no where to be found still. That's when I heard her. The muffled crying from outside. Yuu left Hanako and ran outside commanding us to stay in the living room. Doan made sure Hanako remained in the room. I was confused and curious. I didn't like this. Who was he? Why was Shiori crying? Why did my father stutter? How come Yuu seemed so worried when he ran out?

Five minutes later Yuu returned. "On behalf of Shiori and Jude, I have been asked for you all to return home. Hanako you and Jiro may stay with Doan and I if you can't find a hotel room, mother and father have been at the hotel all day anyways, and Natsu you may stay if you please" Yuu instructed. What had happened?
"What?" Asked Hanako
"Don't ask okay!" Yuu commanded her.
"Fine I will call Jiro" she huffed dialing on her phone.
"I'll start on our packing" Doan stared at us
"We will go to my room" I knew he wanted us to go and do something too. I took Natsu's hand and leaded him out. Yuu was alone, I was confused, Hanako was being bitchy, Doan was being respectful of their privacy, however Shiori and father, what was going on?

"Gray asked for Juvia if we have English homework, do we?" Asked Natsu. He sat on my bed. I was next to him playing with Michelle. 'What happened? Why? Why can't I know? I'm worried' my head spun with thoughts.
"What happened?" I asked myself aloud. I could feel myself shaking.
"Luce, it will be okay"
"Will it?" I asked him with his eyes looking directly into mine.
"Well, you have me okay, so don't panic right now" he hugged me to reassure me.
"Your right, and tell Juvia no"

If only that night I was more curious. If only I had gotten myself up and went to find out what was going on. If only... Maybe I could of saved...
