Lucy pov

Why won't they notice me? They act as if I am not here and when I try to go talk to them they brush me off as if I am just dust on their shoulder ever since lisanna has returned no one has noticed me excluding levy Wendy and Gajeel of course but it still hurt not to be noticed by your friends and it hurt even more not to be noticed by my crush Natsu

Don't worry Lu-chan they'll notice you levy said in a comforting tone

Are you sure because I don't think they will. I thought we were supposed to be a family. family members don't ignore the other family members I say in a sad tone

I sneak a glance at natsu he looks really happy talking to lisanna along with erza and gray way more happy than they looked with me before

I lay my head in my arms my world was being broken

Lu-chan I'll go get you a Vanilla milkshake will that make you feel better?

Yeah I think that just might be what I need at a time like this

Levy got up and left for the kitchen

Why me I grumble as I shut my eyes

Lucy? I hear a voice say my name I know that Voice from anywhere

I raise my head slowly and look at him Happiness bubbling up inside me I want to scream his name but I think I'll have to Contain myself

Yes natsu? I say trying not to sound too happy

Can I talk to you alone?

Oh my gosh what does he want to say what's going to happen I think to myself as I am being led into the back hallway

Lucy since lisanna has returned we want to spend some time with her Like we used to so can you retire from the team just for a little bit you could train and get a little stronger

With that my whole world crushed I was just a replacement I was meant to replace her for the time being they didn't really value me they didn't care about me I was just a replacement All those times when they said I was a part of fairy tail and they cared about me was a lie he practically just called me weak I don't think I want to stay in fairy tail anymore after this just treatment

Lucy? I hear natsu say

Sure I say with a fake smile fighting back the tears

That big grin that I have learned to love over time spreads across his face thanks Luce! he says while running away to tell gray Ezra and lisanna the good news

I can't take it I run through the back door I run all the way home jump on my bed and scream into my pillows big tears are rolling down my face

Lucy what's the matter!? I turn to see Loke sitting by me

N-nothing

I know that's a lie he says eyes boring into mine

I tell him everything His eyes widen in surprise I can't believe that they would do such a thing

Lucy come here you can let it all out

I sniffle as I jump in his arms His arms squeeze around me

I LOVED HIM LOKE I LOVED HIM ! I scream

Shhhhhh I know

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FAMILY THEY SAID THAT THEY CARED!

After crying for what seemed like hours I finally felt my eyes drop slowly

Goodnight Lucy Loke says as he kisses my head

Loke thank you

No problem

As My eyes close and go into a deep sleep I see a image of natsu

I don't know why I don't hate you I still love you but why? Why do I still love you? You caused me so much pain so why?
