This is my first Fanfiction. Please Read and Review. I do not own Fairy tail or its Characters.
"Lucy, please don't leave! I can't be alone you're my only friend I have!" a boy with blue hair said to his friend. The girl was crying and hugging the boy. "I'm sorry bixy. I don't want to but my mom said daddy was able to get his business going in Acalypha. She said we are moving to a new house there. I wish I could stay here forever with you."
"Lucy promise you'll come back for me. Promise you'll come save me from my parents. I don't want to be hurt again." He was in tears he didn't want to be left alone again. His parents were constantly fighting and when his dad was drunk he would beat him and his mother. Now it seemed that the world was just crumbling down he was losing the only person that was able to help him through the pain. "I promise bixy. I promise I'll come back for you." Lucy said crying and hugging her friend one last time before getting into the car.
It's been 10 years since that happened and Lucy was now 17 years old. She was on the train to Magnolia and was finally heading back on her own. Her father was in prison for murder and she was able to convince the judge to let her be her own guardian. She had gone to magnolia a week earlier and enrolled into Magnolia High as well as finding a place to work. She was able to keep what money her father had from his business so finding a place to live wasn't as hard as she feared it would be.
While on the train she thought of her friend from all those years ago and wondered how he was holding up after all these years. She'd tried on so many occasions to talk her mom into letting her visit him but when her mom would talk to her father about it he would say no.
"Attention passengers we will be arriving in Magnolia in five minutes. Please make sure to grab all luggage from the holding areas."
After arriving to her house all Lucy wanted to do was rest but she had to get ready for work that night. She had promised the owner that she would be ready to work by today and had to get there in a couple hours.

Lucy had just gotten to the club she'd be working at as a waitress. Bacchus was the club's owner and just had to make it costume night. So here she was working in a sexy bunny costume of all things.
"Oi Bunny girl!" a gruff voice called out to her
"Yes, sir? Can I help you with something?" Lucy asked the man.
"I need another whiskey over here. Gihi my names Gajeel don't call me sir" he said smirking
"I'll get someone to bring you a whiskey si- Gajeel." Lucy said walking towards the bar to Mirajane to tell her about the new order.
"Mira, Gajeel needs another whiskey can you have Kinana take it to him for me?" Mira just smiled and got the whiskey ready while Lucy went back to talk to Bacchus about her first day.
"Lucy, you did excellent today thank you for starting work early!" Bacchus was drunk but wasn't slurring his words quite yet. Bacchus tended to drink with the patrons while he was supposed to be managing it. If it wasn't for Mira practically managing this place and taking care of the accounting this place would probably be shut down.
"Thank you Bacchus. I was going to be leaving for the night since there is class tomorrow." It was already 11 pm and she really should have been off work an hour ago but she knew the place was packed and couldn't just leave them with two waitresses.
"See ya Lucy! Now if you'll excuse me I found some suckers to beat drinking in a bet" Bacchus Laughed while walking over to Gajeel's group in the corner.
It took Lucy twenty minutes to get to her house from the club. As soon as she got ready for bed it didn't take her long to pass out for the night.
Bickslow pov
It's been ten years since I've seen that girl from my past. Ever since she left the arguments and abuse got worse. At least until I was 15 and the principal found out about what was going on from his grandson, He took me in to live with them after the police were called one night. I've been living with them for 3 years now and ended up making new friends. I ended up going with Gajeel and Laxus to a club that Bacchus owns on the other side of town. Laxus said he wanted to see the Bartender that works there not that he would admit it.
"gihi Bacchus got a new girl tonight" Gajeel said interrupting my train of thought while pointing to a Blonde wearing a bunny costume. The girl looked strangely familiar but I honestly did not care enough to figure out why.
"Oi Bunny Girl!" Gajeel called trying to get the new girls attention. The girl was hot but looked like she was way to innocent.
"Yes sir? Can I help you with something?" the girl asked with a questioning look on her face. I had to admit Bacchus sure knew how to pick them.
"I need another whiskey over here. Gihi my names Gajeel don't call me sir" Gajeel was smirking probably because this girl was about the same age as us and calling him sir. You could tell by the look of surprise on her face that the girl wasn't use to calling customers by their names.
"I'll get someone to bring you a whiskey si- Gajeel." The girl said while walking towards Mira at the bar. We were expecting her to bring it back but when she went into the back while Mira made the drinks we figured she wasn't going to. It wasn't until Kinana brought the whiskey to us that I figured I'd ask about her.
"Yo Kinana what's up with the Cosplayer?" I asked giving my signature grin.
"The new girl? She can't serve alcohol yet, she just got here today from... Oh... where did Bacchus say she was from? Acalypha!" Kinana said
"Ah so she hasn't got the permit she needs yet? Well whatever hey, can you bring us a round of shots?" I asked I was ready to continue drinking. Bacchus was having karaoke tonight and I was not about to be sober and hear Gajeel sing. From the corner of my eye I could see Bacchus heading over here to drink laughing.
"Bacchus where's Cana not here drinking with you tonight?" I asked it was rare for the drunk not to be here with her boyfriend.
"Nah, She's at home Makarov told her if he has to bail her out one more time for public intoxication he would suspend her for a month." Bacchus laughed "Now let's get this party started!"
Kinana had brought the drinks when Bacchus decided to kick things up a notch. "Let's make a bet, Gajeel your gonna go up there sing and were gonna keep taking shots. The first one to get tired of his singing and goes to shut him up loses."
"I'm down let's get the shots going!" I said looking at Gajeel, he looked like he was about kill Bacchus for that comment. Ten shots and 30 mins later I got sick of listening to Gajeel but I figured if I'm gonna shut him up might as well have fun with it. I went up to Gajeel and grabbed his guitar and threw it out the window. The guitar was destroyed but as long as I didn't have to listen to Mr. Shoo bi do bop over there it was well worth it. After throwing the guitar I figured I'd better get out of here before Gajeel tries to kill me again. I ran to Bacchus paid him for the drinks and ran out of there laughing heading towards the house.

It was the next morning and Lucy had just arrived to Magnolia High. Last night had been completely uneventful at work but she was still tired from working so late. As she went into the office there was a woman at the desk working at her computer.
"Excuse me ma'am. I am here to see Principal Makarov." Lucy said to the woman who had looked up from the computer.
"Oh Lucy it's me Kinana! Haha didn't recognize me did you?" Kinana said laughing
"I'm sorry Kinana I didn't realize it was you. You work here as well?" Lucy asked curious as to why she would be working two jobs.
"well my first hour is free time for me so I help Makarov with the office until his secretary can come in." Kinana explained that the secretary had a little girl and couldn't get her babysitter here until second hour started. "You can go ahead into his office Lucy. Makarov was expecting you." Kinana said giving Lucy a hug.
Lucy pov
"Excuse me sir. I was seeing if you had gotten the school uniform in for me?" I said as I walked into the office. "Lucy my dear! How have you been? I heard you were coming to our school after so many years in Acalypha!" he said while hugging me.
"I am better now sir. It's been a stressful ten years since I had to leave Magnolia." I really didn't want to explain the full story of what happened it was too soon and I still hadn't fully recovered from the event. Plus, how were you to explain that your back because your father is in prison for killing your mother and almost killing you.
"My child if you ever need someone to talk to about what happened then you can come to me. I know you have had it rough the past few years" Makarov said "Now here's your uniform there is a bathroom down the school hallway and to the left. Here's your class schedule for this term the room numbers are on there. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask."
After exiting the stall from changing I met a girl about my age with short white hair. "Hi, are you new here? My names Lisanna Strauss." The girl said. Strauss? I wonder if she's related to Mira. I thought she had the same white hair as Mira so maybe she's her sister.
"Are you Mira's sister?" I asked my curiosity getting the best of me. "You know big sis Mira?! That's awesome." She exclaimed.
"Yeah I work with her at the club. I met her last night. I need to get to class do you happen to know where Mr. Gildarts class is?" I asked trying to look at my schedule.
"Yeah room 202, take a left after leaving here and its two rooms down." Lisanna said while opening the door to leave.
"Thank you Lisanna. I'll see you around!" I waved goodbye and went to find my first class for the day.

Lucy walked into the classroom when she found the teacher asleep at his desk. He's not a morning person apparently she thought laughing. She decided to shake his shoulder to wake him up from his nap.
The teacher looked up to see who was interrupting his sleep most of the kids here know to leave him alone if he wasn't awake.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gildarts. I apologize for waking you up but I am new here so I needed to know where I'd be sitting." Lucy explained wondering if she was going to get in trouble for waking the man up.
"Ahh, the new girl Makarov told me about. You're going to be sitting in the second row second chair to the back." He explained while pointing to her seat.
"Thank you, sir." There was still 15 minutes until class was supposed to start so Lucy got out her new book she had been reading and decided she would get some reading done. She was about to start reading when she heard a commotion going on outside in the hallway. When she looked out the door she saw a man with dark blue hair that was in a Mohawk running down the hallway laughing. Following him was the man she met last night at the club named Gajeel.
"Get back here! You owe me a new guitar! I'm gonna beat you for destroying my guitar" Gajeel yelled throwing punches towards the other man.
"Look man I'm sorry. I'll get you a new guitar I promise." The man said cackling while still dodging the punches that Gajeel was throwing at him.
"You better! It better be a good one to that guitar cost me five grand!" Gajeel yelled finally landing a punch on the other man's face.
Gajeel started to walk towards the classroom when he noticed the blonde standing there with a shocked look on her face.
"Bunny Girl? You gonna stand there all day or can I get in the classroom?" Gajeel said staring at the blonde who finally realized that he was standing there.
"Sorry Gajeel." Lucy said while walking back to her seat and grabbing her book again.
After a few minutes more people started to gather in the classroom. Lucy didn't notice at least until a boy with pink hair came up to her to talk.
"Hey, you're new here aren't you? My name's Natsu." The pink haired boy said.
"My names Lucy. It's nice to meet you." Lucy said while looking at the boy.
"So where'd you come from? Why did you move here?" Natsu asked curiously it was rare that they got new students in the school.
"I moved here from Acalypha. And I'd rather not talk about why I moved here if you don't mind" Lucy said she still was not going to tell anyone about what happened. She figured the only person she would trust to tell would be Bickslow whenever she found him.
"Why not? What's wrong with telling why you moved here?" He asked not understanding why it would bother her.
"Hey Flame Brain if she doesn't want to talk about it then don't make her." A boy with black hair screamed across the room. Lucy looked up to see who else was talking when she saw the boy she blushed. The boy was in nothing but his underwear yelling at Natsu.
"Um, your clothes Gray" a girl with Blue hair that was in the back reading said.
"ack! When did that happen!?" Gray said getting his clothes back on.
"What'd you say popsicle?" Natsu yelled towards gray who was now glaring at him.
"I said if she doesn't want to tell you why then she doesn't have to Flame brain" Gray said pushing his forehead against Natsu's.
"Why I don't see what could be wrong with telling me why she came here?!" Natsu yelled while punching Gray in the face.
"Maybe it's a personal reason idiot!" Gray punched back while Natsu proceeded to grab the desk and throw it across the room at Gray. By this point Lucy decided to ignore the two boys and finish reading her book. What she didn't know is that the desk that Natsu threw at Gray was heading straight for her hitting her in the head.
After it hit Lucy there was nothing but silence while everyone stared at the new girl. Lucy could deal with fighting but as soon as that desk hit her she'd had enough.
"Are you two complete morons?! Who the hell throws a desk at someone! I am not gonna tell anyone my reason for coming to this school and that's final!" She said kicking both of the boys into the wall. "Mr. Gildarts I need to go to the nurse's office since these idiots just gave me a splitting headache." She said storming off out the door.
Next door in Mr. Wakaba's room the whole classroom had heard the commotion and was curious to see who this new girl was. They all ran to the door except for a group of three students who didn't want anything to do with the ruckus that was going on. They were curious what had happened but they wouldn't admit it.
When she got to the nurse's office there was an older woman with pink hair there helping the man from earlier who Gajeel had punched. Apparently the punch had left a pretty nasty cut across his face that needed to be cleaned up. Lucy waited by the door until the nurse was done looking at the wound and turned to her.
"What do you want!" Yelled the pink haired woman.
"I'm sorry ma'am. I just wanted to see if you had any medication for a headache I had a desk thrown at me and got a headache from it hitting me." Lucy explained
"Here take these and both of you get out of here. I can't stand the sight of ya." The woman yelled clearly getting agitated that there were people in the room.
"Thank you." Lucy said as she walked out the door to head back to her classroom.
When Lucy got back to the class she was bombarded by everyone asking if she was okay. Natsu and Gray had apologized to her about them hurting her.
The rest of the day wasn't bad she had made a few friends that day especially with a girl named Levy she met in her Creative Literature class with Mr. Bob. Levy and her talked about the books they had read and the book that Lucy was writing. The conversation ended with Lucy promising to let her read her story when it was finished. Lucy didn't have to work that night due to Bacchus closing the place down for the night because of his hangover he still had. So that night she spent her time setting up her house and thinking about all the memories she had with Bickslow.
