Chapter 6

"What?" Sylvia screamed, which surprised the redhead. "Minerva, no, please don't do this." She rushed back into the swimming area, quickly packing up her stuff and rushing out. "Minerva, listen to me." She hung up her call as she stopped in front of him, looking him over for a moment, making the redhead uncomfortable.

Her eyes lingered around his private parts, making him shift in his spot. "I'm not-" "You'll do; let's go." Sylvia grabbed his hand, dragging him with her. "Listen, lady, I'm not." "Which one's your car?" He gave her a look of confusion before pointing to a black Mercedes Benz. It hit him when she shoved him into the driver's seat and got in the passenger seat. "Look, I'm not interested in doing the dirty with you," he blurted out, earning a look of disgust from the photographer, which confused him even further. "That's just disgusting!" she said before telling him to start driving.

Reiki tried to figure out what was going on, glancing at the distressed girl beside him, who frantically typed away at her phone, tears in the corner of her eyes. "Is something wrong?" he asked, feeling her distress and sadness. "My best friend is going to commit suicide. Is that wrong?" Well, that was news. He wondered what would lead her to do such a thing. "Do you know any officers?" That question brought him out of his thoughts. "Yeah, one," "Call them right; call anyone you think will help!" She cut him off while unbuckling her seat belt. "Hey! What do you do?" He stopped midsentence as the blonde sat down on his lap, slapping his hands away from the steering wheel. "Call them; I'll get us there faster than you can say your name," she grinned before turning around and stepping on the gas.

Reiki got off the phone with Natsu, the last of his friends, and looked outside to find a beautiful apartment complex in front of him. "What?" she was out the door before he could get out another word, "Minerva!" Sylvia screamed, looking up at her friend, who looked down at her with lifeless eyes. "That's your..." He trailed off, remembering this woman from the bar; she was one of the women who were with Sylvia that night, but Sylvia again rushed off without so much as a word, and Reiki followed, having a feeling this girl was about to do something reckless since she was not in her right state of mind.

Juvia Ryu, who had been at the police station when she got Sylvia's group message saying that Minerva was about to kill herself, rushed to the scene with Erza, both women sporting a look of terror at the thought they'd lose one of their closest friends.

Yukino Aguria looked over at Kagura as they both shared a look of terror before rushing out of the meeting room and giving Akira and Mary a quick call to hurry to the apartment complex Minerva stayed at with her boyfriend Rufus.

Reiki, on the other hand, stared at the back of Minerva, who stood on the top of her balcony, railing in a backless black dress, moving with the wind. "Minerva, listen to me; you are not unloved; we love you." Sylvia said, being cautious not to make a wrong move, "Please don't do this Get down, and we'll talk about this." Reiki stayed a step behind her. "Whatever the matter is, we'll sort it out. Please get down." Although the redhead didn't know much about the women, he still didn't want someone to die in front of him. "There is nothing to talk about!" the ravenette said. "He doesn't want me anymore." Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Seriously? You're doing this because some guy broke your heart?" Reiki asked in disbelief at this woman's reasoning; beside him, he heard Sylvia curse some guy named 'Rufus'.

While the two worked on getting her down from the inside, the other girls were working on it while standing among the crowd of people who had gathered. "Minerva! Listen to me, Rufus is an idiot!" Kagura voiced her thoughts on the blonde: "She's doing this over some guy?" Natsu asked, "Where are you going?" Sting asked, looking at Rogue, who was entering the building. "To save this poor soul," Rogue said, rolling his eyes at the ravenette.

"You're not any of those things you've changed; don't listen to Rufus," Sylvia said, advancing toward the ravenette and wondering what made such a happy relationship turn sour. "Thank you and goodbye, my angel." The other's eyes widened. "Minerva!" they screamed when they saw the girl jump.
