It's amazing to think about how a simple decision can change your life.

Chapter One

"Levy, I'm fine. Y'all go on without me," Lucy pleads. Levy, however, was not having it. "Lu-chan, get up and get dressed! You're coming out with us and that's final!" Levy was currently at Lucy's apartment trying to get her to go out with her, Erza, Cana and Juvia. Even though it had been a while since they've all hung out, Lucy would much rather have a night in together. All Lucy could think about was how dirty her hair was, and how she didn't want to get dressed. Levy continued to stare at her, for what seemed like eternity. Lucy finally caved, "Fine, you win. I'll go." Levy smirked in triumph. She knew she could stare Lucy down into submission. "However, I'm not putting a lot of effort into dressing up!" Lucy bargained. "Yeah, yeah , yeah, do what you want Lu-chan," Levy said, waving her off. Lucy was finished just about done getting ready when everyone had shown up at her place. This is the first time Lucy, Levy, Cana, Juvia and Erza have been able to get together in quite some time, especially for a night out. Lucy sulked as she thought about how she'd rather stay in, but she truly missed her friends. Since high school ended a year and a half ago, everyone has been so busy with their own lives that it's becoming increasingly hard to find a time for everyone to get together. There was no way Lucy could refuse a night out with her girls.

"So where are we going tonight?" Lucy asked while brushing her teeth. "Well, I was thinking we could stop off at Jellal's for a bit since he's throwing a party, then hit up Fairy's for the rest of the evening," Erza suggested. Lucy inwardly groaned. She really didn't want to go to Jellal's party. Lucy liked Jellal, and he and Erza were perfect for each other, she just wasn't a party person. Jellal and Erza have recently started dating and it was important for her to at least make an appearance at his party. So as much as she didn't want to go to the party, she didn't say anything since it was clear they weren't going to be there for long.

Finally there were on their way to Jellal's, and Lucy began to regret how little effort she put into getting dressed up. She didn't feel like she looked her best, but it was as good as it was going to get. She decided upon a pair of skin-tight black pants that showed off her ass with a semi-loose purple t-shirt that hung off one shoulder, which helped take some attention off her full bosom. Her blonde hair was in a high pony tail and she wore eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss for her make up. Lucy originally debating on staying in the car while her friends ran inside for a few minutes to say their hello's then leave but before she knew it she was being dragged out of the car by Cana. "Ugh, do I have to come in!?" Lucy whined. "Yes. Now stop complaining and make some new friends!" Cana demanded. "Fine."

Inside, the house was packed. Lucy did not like being surrounded by people so this was overwhelming for her. As Lucy worked to remain calm in the sea of people around her, she suddenly realized her friends have abandoned her and she was no all by herself. Some friends! I can't believe they ditched me! Lucy thought to herself. Instead of attempting to make her way around the house to find her friends, Lucy spotted an open space by the door they came in and made her way over. She felt it was easier to stay there then get lost in the crowd. From this spot, she watched the people around her. They were all drunk. Every last one. There were people playing various drinking games, including beer pong, people yelling and causing as much noise as they possibly could and stumbling every which way. "I am way to sober to be dealing with this crowd. I just want to leave," Lucy sulked quietly. Lucy continued to watch the people around her and keep to herself. She was unaware of the presence coming towards her.

"Hello."
