.I had, what you could say, a normal childhood. I grew up in a small city, with parents that are still living together, still madly in love with each other even after almost 27 years of marriage and one lost child. Yes, I was supposed to be a baby sister. I found out about him by coincidance. Since I knew, I confronted my parents about it, discovered he was born with a weak heart and died not long after he was born and since then, there was an empty space in my heart that no one could fill. Or so I thought at the time.

In school I created a circle of people that I could call friends and that was what we were. A group of friend that protected and cared for each other since we weren't the most popular kids in school. We did what we wanted, what we thought was right and after a few years these people started to fill the space in my heart that was empty.

It felt great coming to your home town after a few years of intense studying and working far away from home. As I finnaly finished school only one thing came to mind. My home town. So I packed my bags, said goodby to the people I met and learned to care for and left. I learned that you can never love any city more than the one you grew up in.

At the age of 24 I decidet to start living my life since school was finished and only a job divided me from a life on my own. Scared of that I was. I always hoped that I would find someone while I was still in school. I wanted to skip the partying and the dating, afraid of rejection. I did have a boyfriend once. Long story short, I gave my all while he, gave nothing at all.

I always dreamed of geting my first apartment with the one I was ment to be for the rest of my life but life had other plans.

As my mother always said: "No one has ever ran away from their destiny and neither will you."

My parents greeted me at the airport. Tears ran down my cheeks and in that moment I realized how much I really missed them. But to my surprise, there were all of my friends too. Some of them were the same, some of them barely recognizable, specially the boys. Natsu and Gray grew a lot, but the same loving smiles were there. Lucy was as busty and cheerfull as ever but Erza seemed to have an serious aura around her that somehow suited her perfectly. Hugs were given, tears were shed and we were on our way home.

Once we arrived home they started making plans.

"We should go to the new pool place they made since you were gone Levy." Gray suggested.

"Or the new spa they opened up a few days ago." Erza spoke.

It was all like old times. Like nothing changed. But everything changed. All of us did.

After a quick meal and a lession from my mother how I needed to rest, we decided that friday night was the night to go out and celebrate the fact that I was back home. As we said our goodbys I promised to call first thing in the morning to go and grab some coffee.

As I stepped into my old room I realized how much I've changed. The pink color repulsed me and I made a mental list of what I needed to buy to redecorarte my room. But one place staied the same. The one small window that had a wiew of a few houses up and down the street. But that little spot needed change to. If nothing else the posters of bands I used to listen to had to go. As I sat on the little bench my father made me, I started feeling like I was right were I started. But I convinced myself that it was just a feeling. Even the neighbours changed. I remembered my mother saying how our neighbours passed away but she didn't tell me new people moved in. A black truck and a bike were parked in front of the garage but it looked like no one was at home

"Enoug h thinking Levy, get to work." I cheered myself and started putting my clothes where they used to be.

At the first break of dawn I got up. I couldn't sleep all night. Guess I'll have to get used to my old bed now I though as I got up and headed for the shower. My blue hair, that was down to my shoulders, was always a mess and there was no way to controle them so I put on a bandana, got to my phone and called Lucy. Looking at my phone I couldn't believe that I still had her number saved under Luigi. A small laugh left my mouth as I remembered how Natsu had a hard time remembering that Lucy was the name of his new friend so he called her Luigi instead. I wondered if they ever got together. They were obviously in love with each other but both too stubborn to act upon it.

I met up with Lucy within the hour since all the others were working. We got our coffee and decided to take a walk around town since so much has changed since I left. Well, nothing really changed in my absance, maybe a few new stores poped up byt that was it. I had nothing to say to be honest. I spent my days away from home studying and working and since I was not a social butterfly I never atended any parties or dates that I was invited to. It never seemed right. Lucy on the other hand had a lot to say. I listened about how everybody finished school. How Natsu became a firefighter, how Gray was on his way to become a policeman and how Erza is slowly becoming a lawyer. Lucy decided to open up her own hair salon and was doing her job quite well while I, on the other hand, had finished my school for an english teacher and for deciphering ancient languages but was not employed. She talked about how Erza fell in love with Jellal, a transfer student, and how they really had a chance to suceed but his parents moved again so he left with them. Since then Erza finished law school early and got a job at a law firm. How Gray never even tuched a woman, despite his good looks and Lucy shared her thought that he might be gay. I laughed my heart out. Ther was no way Gray was gay. I believed he was just too busy with his policeman carrer and that he was just waiting for the right one to give her his heart and soul.

"What about you and Natsu?" I asked her, since she spoke nothing about it.

"Well we did start dating, but then Lisanna came out of nowhere and took him right in front of my face.'' She said and looked down at her feet.

"And how come this Lissana person was not at the airport yesterday?"I pushed since I had a feeling she was hiding something.

"Well he broke it off with her since she went to Europe to study, but he never asked me out after that and we just staied friends."

"And since you love him friendship is not good enough."

"How did you know Levy?"

"I've known you Lucy for as long as I've known myself so I can read some stuff from your face." I answered, giving her a smile and a hug. A hug that she needed.

"I'm so happy your back Levy, I can finally talk to someone."

"Don't worry Lucy, we will be doing a lot of that, don't even doubt about it."I smiled an let her go.

The days flew buy while I changed my room and before I knew it, it was friday night.

Hope you like the story so far :-)
