The Same Sound [Grayza]

Heya! It's me... well, of course. If someone else wrote this book for me, it would be a whole lot better, but it won't be any fun. :(

I'm back in school now, and it sucks. But after this chapter, I'll just finish this last freaking semester in April, and then I'll be free! Until August, because unlike our high school, college doesn't start until August. I can't wait for the five long months of relaxation and 抖阴社区! That's a lot of time for Tragically.

In last chapter, I realized that I had inserted a wedding tradition that was not so common in other countries. In our country, it's a common routine to put this sort of lace connecting the newlyweds as well as this veil, and usually there are assigned bridesmaids and groomsmen for the job. Just wanted to clear that out for those who didn't understand that part.

Anyway, for now, CVSF!

Byeonara~!

"Hey, man," I say into my phone, holding a glass of wine and looking out my balcony. "Really sorry that I had to leave early and didn't help you out with the end."

"Oh, hey," Natsu replies on the other end. "I was a bit shocked about what happened too."

"Did everyone see that?" I ask, frowning at the wine. "Did... did they get it on camera? Mavis, I'd be dead to the Locksers if they saw that."

"I don't think so, but many people saw that," he answers. "It'd be the talk of the town. Wanna tell us what happened? You're on speakerphone, Lucy's beside me."

"Hi, Gray!" I hear Lucy's faint voice in the background. "Erza isn't really answering my calls. I was hoping if you could give me a bit of background on what happened, so that I know the right words to say."

I stay silent for a moment. Erza's voice kept ringing in my ears as the feeling of guilt kept tingling in my heart. If you stayed in love with me, why couldn't you stay? If you stayed in love with me, why couldn't you stay?

"'If... if you stayed in love with me, why couldn't you stay?'" I say before sipping some wine. It's a little too bitter. "That's what she said. It's been in my head for the past few hours now, because I don't... I just can't process it. I don't know what to do. I want her back so badly, but I don't want to tell her about what happened seven years ago. It's just not gonna work, she'll hate me forever. Then she told me that I don't know a thing about music."

"Dude," Natsu replies. "If she hated you forever, she wouldn't have told Luce to call you. She wanted to perform with you again, don't you see it?"

"Erza isn't the type of person who'd let her best friend's wedding get ruined because of a cancelled band," I tell them, entering my childhood bedroom. "She would have called Jellal."

"Exactly," he says. "But she told Luce to call you. Kids, what have we learned today?"

"Erza still loves Gray!" Lucy squeals in the back. "But guys, I have a great idea so that they'd get back together."

"The last time you had an idea, I ended up punching a guy and almost getting arrested," I say, chuckling and remembering the time that Jellal was still a douche. "But fire away."

"Erza teaches this adorable class of kids somewhere in Doric every Saturday," she explains, probably taking the phone from Natsu because her voice is much louder now. "Since she told you that you don't know a thing about music, maybe we should revisit that idea, you pay a visit to her classroom, and she'd have to teach you."

Natsu laughs loudly. "Yeah, like she'd actually take Gray in at a children's class," he says. "But hey, why don't you give a shot? I mean, she'll kill you once the kids are out of sight, but at least you made an effort to go there and say sorry, I guess?"
