Story of an Ex-Fatty
Chapter 1: Prologue
"I'm afraid there is nothing I can do. Her condition worsened dramatically and it all happened too fast. The medical team all did their best please take note of that but unfortunately, what's done is done" the doctor announced leaving the housecleaner dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, but do you mean Mrs. Heartfilia is, no longer with us". Her voice trembled; awaiting the painful reply to be announced.
The middle-aged man gave a curt nod before stating he will give the lady some time alone.
Ms. Spetto, the strong, cheery housekeeper wiped the tears streaming down her face. She knew this day would come but did not anticipate it would be this soon. The whole staff knew what she was feeling. The lonely feeling of losing someone could only be tolerated to an extent.
" , what will become of Lucy?" a fellow housekeeper asked. Her voice carried heartbroken aura while the message erupted a great thought. Lucy, how will she react to this?
"Lucy, you weigh 59 llbs. Go tell Ms. League your fitness results.", the gym teacher stated.
The 9 year-old obeyed the small order, and then cheerfully walked to her friends.
"Lu-chan, you're a healthy weight again. I'm always underweight and it scares my parents a bit, hehe" the tiny bluenette stated.
"Well thank you. You know Levy-chan, I've been hearing rumors that we might have a math test on average, mean, medium and maximum content." The blonde said so with such a serious face that it sort of made the atmosphere unusual.
Levy laughed carelessly, assuring her friend how they'll be fine, boosting the confidence and enjoyment.
This pleasure did not last, due to an announcement of Lucy Heartfilia being made.
"Lu-chan, why are you being called to the office." Her friend asked, only to receive a confused and cautious face in return.
Little did the blonde know, despair awaited her.
"Miss Lucy, I know this is hard but you cannot go in there please, understand."
After explaining the news, Ms. Spetto struggled to get the girl under control. It was too fast for the girl and difficult for her to accept. But when she asked to visit her mom in her bedroom and given a no, the girl snapped. A guard was asked to hold the girl down but, her cries and screams made it difficult."
"NO! NO! NO! Mama is still in there, she's SLEEPING!" the pain and confusion was felt and sensed throughout the whole house. It was then that the guard unintentionally released his hold of the girl leaving for the house-keeper to run after her. The wooden doors were pushed open only to leave the girl to stare at the emptiness of the room. Ms. Spetto caught up to Lucy, watching the stillness of her figure, the room had an empty feeling.
Without turning around Lucy said, "Mama's not here is she." Silence was the response given. With that, the silent tears could be heard throughtout the house and the intense sorrowful feelings were felt by everyone.
2 months later…
"Lucy, have you gained weight?" Levy asked. With this said everyone crowed around the blonde. Pointing out the physical differences saying how she was quieter; it grabbed the attention of Natsu Dragneel.
As he walked over he studied the girl intensely, much to her dismay.
"Ha! Look at the fatty, you'll never get a boyfriend and you experience a lot of problems, you freakin' hippo" the pink-haired walked away laughing what he said off.
What does he know about me. Eating, it helps. It lets me not be sad, I guess. He doesn't know anything.
Weeks pass and insults were given to her constantly. Lucy always thought that no one knew how she felt. The painful words stayed in her mind as she attempted to "eat her feelings out". Everyone noticed the changes in her and those close friends of hers, even began to increase the distance growing between them. Lucy ate to calm herself when any of the harsh feelings begin to arise. She endured the pain until a year passed and she sat right to Natsu Dragneel. The one, who insulted, teased and hurt her the most.
"Hey, hippo, if your fat does that mean all your servents,and your mom are fat and idiotic like you?"
Lucy froze and felt rage building up in her. To insult her was painful, but endurable. But to insult the ones who would love her no matter her size, her mother who wasn't even there anymore for her to be comforted; that was something she couldn't except. All that rage she felt but kept hidden inside her exploded. And she released it with a roundhouse kick. No one saw it coming. Natsu was on the floor, unconscious. Everyone turned their attention to the blonde but as soon as they did, she ran out. Running away from him, the teachers, the students the friends who were strangers. She ran from them all, to the place where she would be welcomed.
A door slam caught the attention of Ms. Spetto. She held the broom stick as if someone was going to attack but seeing, the blonde made her relax.
With a sigh she raised her voice, "MISS LUCY, WHAT exactly are yo-"only to be cut off.
"I'm fat, ugly, lonely and a failure. I'm weak and useless. Please! Lets go somewhere far from here! Please!" the girl cried. Her voice trembled and was barely understandable but the persuasion was felt. All the remorse was sensed by Lucy.
"okay" the housekeeper whispered, okay.
It's my first story so be easy on the reviews. And for the record, Jude probably died, comment what you want me to do with him.
