Chapter 1

It was the first day of school and Lucy was now a sophomore. She woke to a LOUD alarm and a barking Plue. It took her a minute but she realized that today was the first day of school. She shot up and went to the bathroom, tripping a couple of times. She took a record time shower that was about 8 minutes. Then she got dressed, there were pros and cons of Fairy High not having a uniform. Pro she got to wear whatever have to chose what to wear. Cons she had to choose what to wear on a day like this. She chose a light purple sleeveless shirt and a dark blue/dark purple mini skirt. on the skirt was a brown belt which held a bunch of keys. When she was younger her and her late (dead) mother collected keys. Her hair in a side pony with a purple ribbon. She also had on almost high knee boots on with a purple trim. After putting on make up, grabbing breakfast, and brushing her teeth she was off. But not before getting a bottle chucked at her from her drunk dad. He hadn't stopped drinking after her mom died. When Lucy got to school she was tackled to the ground by her best friend Levy. She got helped by her 'brother' Gray. As he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Gray. I still need to breath." He apologized as he let go. She just laughed as she was pulled into another hug by Erza.

"Its good to see all of you guys." Lucy stated "How was your summer?"

"Fine." They all said, then people started to show up at school.

All four of them walked into school like always, Gray and Erza went with the popular crowd. And Levy and Lucy went with the book worms. And at lunch they would all text each other. Lucy didn't go to the lunch table today, she stayed in the library. Levy couldn't find her though. She asked her friends but they said they haven't seen her. She went to the went to library, that's where Lucy went when not in the lunch room. Levy went in there to find Lucy being shoved down on the floor, with a couple of books landing on her. She was about to jump in but Laxus came out. He was the biggest guy in school, other then sensei Gildarts. He was a senior, Lucy and Levy were just sophomores. They couldn't even talk to the seniors. Laxus then picked up Lucy and slammed her down. A small scream escaped her lips when she heard a crack. Laxus looked over as she covered her mouth and Lucy mouthed 'run'. Laxus walked over and grabbed her neck, and also slammed her down. And she did the unthinkable. "GRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" She knew this would drag down Gray and Erzas reputation but she couldn't do anything else.

-In the cafeteria-

Gray was talking like normal when he heard his name. It was very faint but he heard it. It sounded like Levy. Erza noticed Gray tense up then she did the same. It was very faint but she heard Levy scream her name. The two looked at each other with worried looks and shot up in record time. They were then out of the room. The rest of the popular people followed after the shock of them just leaving. It was Natsu, Gajeel, Mirajane, and Lissana. They all got there to a blood soaked Lucy and Levy and a fighting Erza and Gray. Gray got kicked out of the library, shortly followed by a fighting Erza and Laxus. Everyone gasped as they all thought the same thing. 'Laxus did this? Wait, why are Gray and Erza helping the book worms?' "Well don't just sit there while we get are ass kicked and end up like Lucy and Levy. Help us!" Gray shouted as he was thrown into a door making it fall off the wall. Natsu and Gajeel jumped in Natsu screaming fight me and Gajeel just plain screaming, as Mirajane and Lissana helped Lucy and Levy. Mirajane took off her over shirt and ripped it up to tie it around Lucy's bigger wounds. Lissana did the same. After doing all she could and still keeping pressure on a cut of Lucy's Mirajane called 911. Levy looked up, very weakly at a smirking Lissana. Lissana mumbled something and Levy caught it before slipping into a deep sleep. She said "Laxus did a good job, but all these people are just going to get hurt." Levy was about to scream at Lissana but she slipped into a deep and dark sleep that would last longer then it should have. The ambulance and police got there fast. Natsu, Erza, Gray and Gajeel were all cut up. Laxus had some wounds but none that were big. The police took Laxus away quickly as the ambulance speed off at around 100mph. Mirajane took Natsu, Gajeel, Erza, and Gray to the hospital. And Elfman took Lissana home, they lived by themselves because there parents were dead.

-at the hospital-

Lucy ended up with 7 broken ribs, a broken arm, a broken leg, stitches on her head and stomach, and being in a wheel chair for 7 months. Levy ended up with stitches in her head, stomach, both arms, and both legs, one broken rib cage, internal bleeding in her head, and a coma. When they got to the hospital Levy and Lucy were rushed to the ICU (Intense care unit for people who don't know) While Lucy and Levy were getting treated every body else did to. Natsu and Gajeel had minor cuts, the same as Gray and Erza. Mira was worried about her friends, along with Lucy and Levy. But she did wonder what relationship Gray, Erza, Lucy, and Levy had. She always saw them talking when nobody else was around, and they all texted each other. It started in 8th grade, Lucy wasn't coming to school more than once a week. And Levy just started getting back into going to school. She knew Gajeel bullied her almost to the point of suicide, she also knew that he likes her now. Her phone rang, and she answered it. "Hello? Mira?" "Laxus? Laxus! What the hell!" "Let me explain. I got set up by somebody. All I can tell is its a girl and she's in the popular crowd. She payed me to kill Lucy, she gave half up front which is what i used to bail my self out. But I couldn't do it. Then Levy and Erza and all these other people got involved. So moral of the story keep an eye on Lucy and Levy. Liss- The girl wants to kill Lucy, and i'm pretty sure Levy heard the person speaking. So if I were you i would keep an eye on both of them. Good luck Mira. I'm changing schools." He said and hung up. Mira tried calling him back but he blocked her number. "He was about to say a name. Liss, Liss, Lissana! That's the only thing i can think. But why would it be her? It can't be her! It can't be! I'll ask her about it later." She sighed. It was about an hour later that Erza and Gray were in there cast. So Mira called every body in. "Listen i know were all a little shaken up, more than others, but we need to keep an eye on Levy and Lucy. Gajeel and Gray will go with Levy. And Erza and Natsu will go with Lucy. Sound like a plan?"

"Mira i'm sorry but can me and Erza switch people?" Gray asked.

"Sure Gray. Gajeel and Natsu will you take the first shift please."

"Sure." They said at the same time.

When those two were gone Mira wanted some answers to why Erza, Gray, Lucy and Levy were so close.

"Erza, Gray. I want some answers. Why are you two, Levy, and Lucy so close?"

"Well in 8th grade me and Gray were walking to the ice cream place" Erza began "We saw Lucy getting dragged away by her father. We followed her home, which i guess you can call stalking. We over heard bottles being thrown and a slurred yelling. Then Lucy shouted 'If mom was still alive is this how you would act!' Then we heard a scream and a crash."

Gray continued "I looked in the window to find Lucy on a table with glass in her and her father walking to her. He picked her up by the neck and I didn't want to watch anymore. So i ran in there and caught Lucy before she could hit the ground. Lucy was telling me to go away, that i'll just make it worse by helping me. But i just lay her down on the floor and stood in front of her. I yelled at her father and dodged all the bottles being throw. Before her father could do any more damage i ran out side with her and told Erza to run. When we got to the park i called 911. After she got treated she went back to her father and every day i would go back and stop her from getting killed. That's how i got attached to Lucy.'

And Erza began her story again. "After all the stuff with Lucy and we got to the the park i heard a small sniff. I looked around and found Levy behind the tree with a knife slowly going in and out of her skin. The blood trickled down onto the pavement. Saying something about Gajeel making her do this. I quickly took the knife out of her hand. She yelled that its was the only thing keeping her sane, and alive. I put the knife in my pocket and grabbed her other arm. I told Gray how i found Levy and that i was taking her to the hospital in the car we shared at the time. Then after that i switched all her classes to mine. Only by force though. I stayed at her place while she got better. That's how i got attached to Levy. The we all became close because me and Gray and Levy and Lucy were already friends." Erza finished.

"Whoa... So um. Any whom we need to protect Levy and Lucy. One of the girls in the school is out to get them. Levy knows who it is and the girl originally wanted Lucy dead. So we will explain the school whats going on. Erza, Gray you guys will take the night shift. So you two will get a study hall class where you can sleep during first period. Then me and Elfman will take the school shift. And Natsu and Gajeel will take the shift till 10:00. Sound like a plan." Mira explained and went to tell Gajeel and Natsu. The two who were left behind went home to grab clothes for themselves, they also grabbed pillows, blankets, bottled water, snacks, a pocket knife, charger, all the stuff they needed to stay for a long time. They also got a bunch of games like Sorry, Checkers, Monopoly, Life, Battle Ship, and some other games. Mirajane asked the nurse to move Levy and Lucy into the same room so the people watching them can talk and play games, stuff like that. The nurse did and put them in a bigger than normal room so Lucy can move around in her wheel chair. It was about 1:00 when they got back. Mira had already told, more so beaten, the plans into the school, told Elfman about it. She could have swear she heard a gagging Lissana, then watch her come of the room, her top had a little water on it. "Mira-neeeeeeeee. I can help you watch the girls." She almost begged. "Me and Elfman got it Liss." Mira said, and she could swear there was steam coming out of her ears. Mira told Elfman about the plans, outside, and told him to pack clothes, pillows, blankets, water bottles, and snacks. Mira packed her own clothes and started stuffing the car with her own things, her clothes, pillows, blankets, toothbrush and toothpaste. Before Elfman could walk out she yelled out deodorant, toothbrush, and hair brush. He understood and grabbed his toothbrush, a hairbrush and comb, and both of there deodorants. He walked out to see his stuff being packed and handed Mira the stuff he grabbed. "So Mira, do you know who did it?" "No i don't, but, *she lowered her voice* I think its Lissana. I got a tip from somebody saying that the girl who did it was in the popular crowd, and helped Levy during the 'thing'."

"Wait the only person who helped Levy and was in the popular crowd was..." They both fell silent. It was about 4:00 when they got back because they ordered pizza at Hungary Howies. Mira payed for five large's with cheese, and Elfman payed for three boxes of cheesy bread. Then they both payed for six ranches and six of the wight dip. (I'm not sure what its called sorry) They got back and all the people just stared at them with all the crap and pizza. Natsu and Gajeel were already back with there stuff, they decided to put there near stuff Levy's corner of the room. Mira and Elfman put there stuff on the opposite from Gajeels and Natsus. Erza and Gray had theirs near Lucy's corner. Everybody awed at all the food they brought. Gray helped Lucy off the bed into her wheel chair. Lucy blushed as she was being lifted by Gray. He whispered a joke in he ear and they both giggled. Everybody else just looked at them. Erza said GraLu. Mira screamed babies almost loud enough to wake up Levy. Elfman said Manly. And Natsu and Gajeel looked at each other like the dense idiots they were. Gajeel a little more knowingly than Natsu. gray wheeled Lucy over as she complained she can do it herself. He let go and watched Lucy start to turn in a circle. She sighed and Looked at Gray, he understood and wheeled her over to where everyone was sitting. He gave Lucy a look as she looked down, he knew she wanted to sit with everybody so he moved his suit case next to her. He put heavy stuff on and in the suit case and draped a blanket over it. They all just stared at him as a smile grew on Lucy's face. Then grabbed both his pillows and sat one on the floor and one on the suit case. Mira now knew what he was doing. "BABIES! BABIES!" She yelled. Gray picked up Lucy while blushing and set her down on the thing he just built. Then got a tray and set it on her lap with a plate on the tray. Lucy was smiling like an idiot while blushing. "So um Lucy what do you want." He said madly blushing "A slice of pizza, two bread sticks, and some wight dip. P-P-Please." She said shyly. He gathered her plate and sat it in front of her. Then Mira gave a pizza to Natsu and Gajeel, with a box of cheesy bread to share, one ranch and one wight each. They thanked her as everybody else dug in. Gray put his plate next to Lucy's and helped her when she had trouble. Mira and Elfman talked, Natsu and Gajeel talked, as Lucy Erza and Gray talked. Lucy sat up straight because half of her body was in a cast from the shoulder down, her good leg under her bad one as a cushion.

When Lucy was done with her meal she put her head on Grays shoulder as he made it comfortable for her. Mira looked over as Lucy opened an eye. "Mira i swear if you scream babies one more time, when i can move again you will be knocked out for a week." Lucy said coldly as she could feel a migraine coming on. She leaned her head back on Grays shoulder and closed her eyes wincing every couple of seconds. "Guys lets get a little quieter, it looks like Lucy has a migraine." Lucy just hummed a response as a yes to Mira saying that. Gray picked her up and Erza gathered up the blankets and pillows Gray has set up. Gray sat Lucy down as she moaned rubbing her head as best she could. Erza went to go and get Lucy a nurse. Meanwhile Gray took over rubbing Lucy's head. "mmmm." She hummed. Erza came in with a nurse, and the nurse had a cold cloth, water and medicine. On the other hand Natsu was pulling out Monopoly. Natsu called the dog, Gajeel called the ship, Mira called the hat, Elfman called the wheel-barrel, and Erza called the car. Meanwhile Gray sat next to Lucy in her wheelchair keeping her busy as she already felt better. Mira ended setting up a table to play on and counting the money while Erza put the cards in the right place. Mira heard Gray and Lucy giggle and yelled babies. Lucy shot her a glance when Gray picked her up and sat her in the wheel chair. "G-Gray. What are you d-doing?" She said surprised. "Come on Luce were gonna play a game." He said cheerfully. "Fine but i want the tin can." She said. "OK i'll take the last piece then. You know what ever its called." Lucy just giggled at him. Gray pulled up a chair after putting Lucy in a position where she could play. Again she had a tray on her lap that would hold money and cards she got. Gray would have to move her piece. After three long ass hours Lucy was asleep and Mira was packing up while Elfman was being shaken awake by Gajeel. He finally woke up and said goodbye to everybody and walked to the car. Natsu and Gajeel were already packing up too. It was about 10:00 when Gajeel and Natsu finally left. Erza got out a sleeping bag and laid it down in front of Levy's bed. She got out another pillow and laid it down on her built in pillow. She Pulled out a blanket and put it over top of her sleeping bag. She grabbed a couple of waters, a couple bags of beef jerky, a charger and laid down. She plugged her phone and played on carefully picked up Lucy and moved her to the bed. He then did the same as Erza. He walked up to a sleeping Lucy and lifted her leg up, he put his 2nd pillow under her leg. Gray quickly fell asleep while Erza listened to music. They switched shifts every couple of hours.

-The Next Morning-

The next morning Lucy woke hearing people shuffling. She looked up and saw Erza and Gray packing up, while Mira and Elfman were setting up camp. She sat as Gray greeted her with a peck on the cheek. She blushed madly. "Good morning to you to." Lucy chuckled. "Well I have to go to school and after that i need to go home and shower, then ill get takeout for everybody. And ill be here about 5:00ish. OK?" "OK" she said quietly. She was a little sad that Gray had to go but she knew he couldn't be held here by her forever. Mira was setting up her pillow and blankets by the end of her bed, Elfman did the same with Levy's bed. "Hey. Uh, Mira can you call in a nurse please?" "What for. I'm sure i can do it for you." "Mira, I don't think you know how to help me to the bathroom. And help me , you know, go" Said an embarrassed Lucy. Mira understood and called a nurse. She helped Lucy to the bathroom and helped her to her wheel chair. Lucy said thank-you and the nurse went to Mira and explained how to help her to the bath room.
