Chapter 1

In the little town of Snowfall, everyone knows everyone. You can fight it all you want but growing up here is a little nightmare mixed with safety however living with the Fullbusters most of her life was is a little of both.

Ever since Juvia was little both brothers have protected her from anyone and anything. This is due to the fact that Juvia lost her parents just before her 5th birthday, she had no other family so naturally the boys decided they would be her extended family. Both Silver and Mika became her legal guardians and lover her like their own but a little after Grays 8th birthday, Mika became extremely ill and passed away.

For a long time Gray became distant and found it hard to deal with day to day tasks withdrawing himself from his friends, his brother and mostly Juvia. Once Gray became 18, his father Silver decided it was time to extend their family business overseas leaving the CEO position to his son hoping the responsibility would bring Gray out if his shell.

Silvers plan worked and Gray made the company bloom but not without sacrifice. At 23 his friends barely saw him and his relationship with a certain blunette was strained to say the least. The only person he really saw on a regular basis was Lyon.

Lyon decided a little later on to join and help his brother out with the family business becoming the COO which made him incredibly popular with the ladies but he's always had keen eye for Juvia and he's relentless in trying to woo her, though Juvia gives plenty of hints that she isn't interested.

It's not easy for Lyon knowing Juvia is completely in love with his younger brother but he swallows any feelings he has and tries to be the best he can be for her.

Since the age of 18 Juvia wanted something different. After a lot of thought and planning her and Gajeel brought the rights to a small bit of land and built Phantom.

It was the only bar in town so it became incredibly popular with familiar faces coming and going constantly sometimes the wrong face would appear at the bar in the form of Bora.

Money hadn't exactly been great due to needing more staff not that Juvia would complain, working with Meredy, Totomatu, Sting and Rogue was amazing but with Gajeel and Levy having a baby extra money is something they desperately needed.

She never once asked the boys for help and she was aware they would in a heart beat but this was pride speaking and she was gonna fix this herself, so she made a deal with the the devil.

At 10:00pm after a long shift Juvia exits the back door desperate for cool air unaware of Bora who was waiting on the hood of his car. "A pretty lady like you shouldn't be out here on her lonesome". Startled Juvia exhales loudly "Shit Bora you scared me" almost immediately Juvia is on edge.

"I'm sorry about that Bluebell but it's the 25th and you owe me money darling" he slides off the hood and stalks towards her.

"I don't have it Bora you will have to give me a little more time okay?" She explains.

"Time? You came to me and I agreed to help now how about a little respect" Grabbing her wrist in a tight grip.

Juvia knew she made a mistake that night she should of never made the deal. Desperation can make you do stupid things and this is one of them. Bora had been in town for a while and made his presence know in the bar. He showered Juvia with attention something she craved dearly something she hadn't felt in a long time. She was a stunning 23 year old, absolutely jaw dropping and people noticed all the time but the folks of Snowfall knew she belonged to someone already even if it wasn't said out loud. Juvia always said no to Bora's advances but he had other ideas and decided that no wasn't an acceptable answer.

Her loud protests were heard throughout the bar and parking lot as he forced himself on her but one thing this town knows is a hand on Juvia is a broken one and the Fullbuster boys are more than happy to make that known.

Lyon is the first to hear the screaming coming from out back and immediately bolts from the bar stool hauling ass to the back door only to find Juvia sprawled on the concrete holding her face. Gray isn't far behind immediately landing a hit into Boras face which makes an incredible cracking noise. "Don't you dare touch her again, you hear me! I will kill you!" Gray growls.

Holding his nose trying to stop the bleeding he just won't back down "fucking whore...you know what? I can see why your parents died, being around a killjoy like you anyone would, you owe me sweetheart remember" he sneers spitting blood on the ground. Almost immediately Juvia is filled with so much rage at his words she gets up kicks him square in the balls and slams her fist into his face adding to the damage. "Ah fuck! I swear I will kill you Lockser I will fucking kill you and you can join the rest of your family! I will get want I want". Quickly he hauls his ass to his car and speeds off.

Juvia is immediately overcome with emotion and starts shaking crashing to her knees. Gray notices as he quickly wraps his arms around her and hold her to his chest this is the closet they have been in a long time. "Juv breathe okay breathe it's okay" rubbing circles into her back trying to calm her down. The smell of Gray was intoxicating and comforting. Trying to get a better look at her face "What did he mean you owe him? Juv look at me what did he mean?" Trying to contain her sobs "what does it matter, I need a drink" she murmurs into his chest.
