Lucy Heartphilia was 19 years old and currently sitting at a bar with her boyfriend, Zancrow. She and Zancrow had been dating for a few months recently and he treated her like a slave. She didn't know that of course she thought it was love.

Then again she hasn't felt love in a long time.

Ever since her mom died and her father turned bitter she had forgotten what love was like. How it felt to be loved. How it felt to love something or someone. So if someone told her that she loved someone or something she believed them.

That's what Zancrow did.

And she believed him.

So that's how their relationship started.

"Babe go get me a drink." Zancrow said and continued talking to his friends, Ultear, Bluenote, Azuma, Rustyrose, and a girl names Meredy who was obviously too young to be in a bar. Zancrow didn't actually introduce them though, Lucy just listened in on their conversation to figure out the names. She had no idea what they were talking about though. Something about fairies having tails?

Lucy got out of the booth and headed towards the bar counter.

"Um I'll take a Rosemary.." Lucy said remembering that Zancrow had already taken five of those. Obviously he could hold in his drinks.

"Sorry hun but I'll need some ID first." a sweet girl with white hair said at the counter. She made Lucy smile. It felt nice when people asked her for ID it made her feel a bit younger. Not that she was old, she just liked being a teenager.

She remembered her old friends from school. Erza, Levy, Cana, and Lisanna. It was sad that she only kept in touch with Cana lately but everyone else had jobs and were busy most of the time.

When was Lucy going to get a job?

She desperately wanted to be a writer but Zancrow didn't like her on the computer all the time typing away so he made her stop. She did have a part time job but it wasn't the same as actually having a job. A career. And Zancrow wasn't supportive.

Was this love?

Well what would Lucy know about love.

After giving the girl at the bar her ID she gave her the drink. Lucy started heading towards the booth again. When was the last time Zancrow said he loved her?

Of course he said it a lot.

But did he really mean it?

Lucy wouldn't know.

"Hey wait what's a sweet young girl like you hanging out with those guys?" the barmaid asked and Lucy turned around. The girl looked kind of familiar.

"I'm dating one of them." she answered simply trying to look happy. Well at least she hoped she looked happy. She didn't like it when other people would ask 'What's wrong?' 'Are you okay?' because honestly she didn't know.

So looking happy kept that answer away.

"Well be careful they're part of a dangerous gang called Grimoire heart." the barmaid said glancing over at the bar where Zancrow and his friends were. Was he always in a gang? Lucy didn't remember him ever mentioning it..

"Don't worry I will." Lucy said still smiling before turning her back to the barmaid. Her smile vanished instantly as she started heading towards the booth again.

"Rosemary?" Zancrow asked eyeing the drink Lucy just gave him. She nodded. Zancrow proceeded to drink it then started talking to his friends again. Lucy sat beside him and started daydreaming about random things.

"Your girlfriend looks bored." Azuma stated looking over at Lucy who had her head in hers hands and an emotionless expression on her face. She was bored. Daydreaming does get boring eventually.

"She's fine." Zancrow answered for Lucy. Lucy sighed. She wanted to get out of this bar. It smelled like vomit and alcohol. It was annoying.

Lucy looked up noticing Ultear getting up and out of the booth.

Where's she going?

"The h^ll you looking at?" Ultear asked a man over at a stool in the bar.

"Excuse me?" he replied taking the last sip of his drink then putting it down. Ultear only smiled before punching him in his face, hard. The man fell out of his seat. Then the whole bar got into a fight.

Including Zancrow who looked like he was enjoying himself beating up some drunk guy.

Lucy sighed.

She really didn't want to be here.

But she loved Zancrow right?

And loving someone means doing whatever they say right?

She didn't know anymore.

She sat silently in her seat when her phone buzzed. That earned a real smile from her. Natsu was the only one who messaged her nowadays. The first time they met Levy had signed Lucy up for a dating website (that was before Zancrow) and Natsu sent her a message saying "You look so amazing and you sound like a very delightful girl." Lucy had told him off right away claiming that she didn't even make this account. Natsu responded by telling her that was his friend trying to hook him up with someone but he did like her profile so he asked if they could be friends.

Why would Lucy refuse to be friends with someone?

After a while Lucy got to learn his real name and he learned hers. She even found out he lives in another country so they weren't able to text or it cost alot more money. They still had the dating website though.

Eventually though she only knew him from the website he became her best friend.

She took out her phone and clicked on the dating site app to check out what he said.

"Hey Luce guess what? I have a business meeting in Magnolia so I'm going to visit you while I'm there!"

Good? Bad? Sorry I picked Zancrow I just needed someone arrogant and I'm getting tired of using Sting :P. Anyways hope you liked it and see you later :D
