DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fairy Tail

Love Hate Relationship

A/N: MMKAY so I decided to rewrite Love Hate Relationship and I hope y'all like it because I got a little hate on the first story. So this should be a lot better than it was.

IMPORTANT: I'M REWRITING SACRED HEART BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK OF HOW TO CONTINUE IT AND IT'S WAY TOO FAST PACED FOR MY LIKING.

RATED M: For lemons in the future

Enjoy!

Lucy paced the kitchen in front of her amused mother and her irritated father. "Dad, I am a respectable young lady and I think I can make my own decisions! I really want to do this you know!" Lucy then gestured to her mother, who was trying to hold in her laughter at her husband's expression, "Mother agreed with me already so why do you have to be so difficult! It's not the end of the world, you just won't see me much!"

Lucy's mother nodded in agreement then sheepishly turned away from Jude as his glare turned to her. "Lucy. I just don't think you're ready for this. And it's bad enough that you already went behind my back and bought one, but now you're including your mother in this. I just don't see why you want to leave home." Lucy's father said calmly but by this point in time, Lucy was close to pulling her hair out in frustration.

Yes, Lucy didn't always make the best decisions but she thought she should be allowed to have her own space and since she already bought the place her dad couldn't really do anything about it. Besides, her mother was the one who knew about it the whole time and didn't tell her father so she just thought that meant she got the ok to do it. And really, she was 18 now, what is the worst that could happen? Except being robbed, or not paying bills but she could deal with that later.. Hopefully not..

It's not like she's going to be alone anyway! She'll have neighbours and they should be nice.. probably.. but forget neighbours, she's responsible so she can deal with these things herself. Probably.

"Father. I'm going, that's final. I just.. don't want to be living with you guys when I go to college, I mean, it would make me look like I'm irresponsible and unable to take care of myself!" Lucy ranted to her parents, Layla nodding in agreement and Jude scowling in defeat. Not like he would be able to beat two women who just happened to be his wife and daughter anyway.

"Fine." Jude muttered with his arms crossed across his body as Layla laughed at the defeated expression on his face. Lucy grinned and threw her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek, "Aww you love me really!" Lucy chirped happily, all of her previous anger and stubborn attitude lost as she pressed her cheek against his. Layla joined in the hug and Jude finally gave in and hugged his family back.

"I'm gonna go get packed up. I'll be outta your hairs noon tomorrow!" Lucy said with a wink and withdrew from the hug and bounded up stairs jumping for joy when she entered her bedroom and quickly pulled her suitcase out the back of her wardrobe.

As she picked the clothes out of her wardrobe, folding them and placing them in the suitcase, her mother walked in with her hands filled with boxes which she put on Lucy's bedroom floor, then began stripping the bed. "Thanks mom." Lucy said with a bright smile.

Lucy really loved her mother, she was always there for her and she was the one who home schooled her. Lucy never really had any friends - no matter how much she denied it - and her mother was her best friend, which she was stuck with for the rest of her life, just like she was stuck with Natsu and Gray. Natsu and Gray had been there since she was small and admittedly, they weren't all that nice to her in the beginning of their friendship but then they grew into the best of friends and did stuff normal kids did: Played tricks on people, annoyed the hell out of Igneel, Silver and Jude when they came for dinner and played with Layla, Grandine and Mika.

Sometimes, Natsu's cousin, Gajeel, came to stay, but when he came so did Metalicana and wherever Metalicana was, Skiadrum and Wiesslogia weren't far behind. So Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Sting, Rogue, Gajeel and Natsu's adopted sister Wendy were around a lot so they were family to Lucy. So she guessed she had some friends. But still they were family so they don't count!

"Mom can you pack up my dresser and I'm just gonna take down the stuff on my walls." Layla nodded and got to work on emptying the dresser.

Once the room was packed up, Jude taking down the king sized bed whilst Layla and Lucy were downstairs, setting up Lucy's little camp on the couch for the night.

"Thanks mom. Love ya!" Lucy winked at her mother who sent a heart-warming smile her way making Lucy smile back. These little this are what she should treasure. Until the very end, at least that's what Lucy personally thought, but who cares what a college student thinks, right?

"Bye Mom, Bye Dad." Lucy was nestled in her parent's embrace as they stood outside her new apartment, her father having came to 'inspect' it. But Lucy knew it was just his way of trying to find any faults and make her come home.

"Bye Lucy, we'll miss you." Layla said as she and Jude released their daughter, Jude's hug lingered longer than Layla's. "Love you guys!" Lucy shouted as they walked back down the path to the car parked in front of the apartment building. Lucy's mother smiled brightly at her before hopping into the car and the driver started up the car. "Be safe Lucy." Jude said before joining Layla and they drove away.

This left Lucy to contemplate on how to deal with all the goddamn boxes sitting on the ground next to her. So, being the smart girl that she was, Lucy glared at the boxes with a pout on her face. Then, seeing as using the force wasn't working, Lucy groaned and began to move the boxes into the building. She sat them in the hall and went back out to get the rest, setting them down next to the others. Then, she had to move the huge bed frame and mattress and by that point she gave up and sat on the lawn, glaring at the huge bed frame and the mattress sitting next to it.

Then, Lucy gasped and her eyes lit up like she just had an epiphany and she pulled out her phone to call Gajeel and Levy, they always knew what to do in situations like this! Besides, Levy's probably going to make Gajeel come over to help her.. But that's besides the point.

"What?" A gruff voice said, snapping her from her thoughts and she brought her attention back to her phone. "Hey Gajeel. I was just wondering if you could do me a favour~" Lucy sang into the phone. She heard a muffled giggle from their end of the phone and realised Levy was there too, luck was on her side today! "Hey Levy! So do ya think you could get your big lug over here to carry some boxes and my bed into my new apartment?"

She heard a groan from Gajeel and Levy's squeal of excitement. "Yea! I wanna see the new place, come on Gajeel! It's that place on Strawberry Street isn't it? Number 12?" Lucy laughed at Levy's excited words and realised Levy was probably more excited about the place than she was.

"Yea Levy it's that place. I'll see you there!" Lucy laughed when she heard Gajeel's annoyed grunt as he ended the call, no doubt being clobbered by his petite girlfriend for ending the call before she could say goodbye.

Then, Lucy went back to glaring at the huge bed frame. Lucy just wasn't strong enough to lift it, not like Gajeel or her father or the damn movers men who wouldn't stop staring at her freaking boobs. But I guess she just needed to work out more. Not like she already did work out, she was far too busy writing her novel and reading and studying and exams! Seriously, wasn't there supposed to be some benevolent God who loves humans and would help them? Yeah, even if there was, he would just lend her some divine powers to lift a bed or something. Nah, even Gods are too lazy to do that for a poor, helpless, beautiful girl.

"Lu-chan!" Lucy looked down the street and found Levy, in all her short glory, sprinting towards her. "Hi Levy!" Lucy squealed, happy to see her friend here with her boyfriend and ready to help. Sort of. Gajeel had a huge lump on his head and looked even more grumpy than usual. "Hey metal head! Help me move this upstairs please!" Lucy heard Gajeel mumbled something which sounded a lot like a curse and she swung her arm over his shoulder.

"What was that, Gajeel~?" Lucy sang in his ear, Levy holding back her laughter at Gajeel's horrified face. It wasn't that Gajeel was afraid of Lucy, no, he was afraid of her kicks. Damn, that girl could kick hard when she wanted to, Gajeel knew first hand how hard she could kick when she kicked him in the crown jewels when they met. Gajeel was teasing her back then and Lucy was close to crying when she kicked him, Gajeel now knows never to piss her off or he'll face the wrath of her kicks.

"Nothing." Gajeel muttered, making sure to sneak a glare at Lucy once she turned away and making Levy finally burst into laughter at the exchange her best friend and her boyfriend shared.

Lucy and Gajeel were always like this, but Levy knew they loved each other really, just watching Gajeel help Lucy carry the bed inside made her think of a brother sister bond but she wasn't really surprised considering they grew up together, no matter how much they acted like they hated each other, Levy knew the truth from just watching them together.

"Don't just drop it!" Gajeel shouted as Lucy dropped her end of the bed, simultaneously making it fall on Gajeel's foot, "I told you I had to put it down metal head!" Lucy shouted back as she watched Gajeel hop around on one foot, "Who's the bunny now?" Lucy taunted making Gajeel give her the death glare. "You're so dead bunny girl!" Gajeel growled as she sprinted after the now running Lucy, Lucy laughing at his vain attempts to catch her and Gajeel growling and cursing everything under the sun.

It took them about three hours, but Lucy, Gajeel and Levy successfully moved everything into Lucy's apartment, due to Lucy and Gajeel's arguing, and now Gajeel was calling it quits before the girls made him help them unpack everything. Lucy was now in bed, after having said goodbye to Gajeel and eventually Levy once she'd unpacked and now, the apartment looked like a human being lived there, not a poltergeist looking for revenge on the guy who murdered him, after Lucy and Levy had scrubbed the red paint off the walls and repainted them white.

Lucy had her outfit set for tomorrow and she was ready for college, she really was, and now she was finally proving it.

With that thought in mind, Lucy turned off the lights in her bedroom and put down the novel she was reading, settling into bed, which, after Lucy had pulled his hair, Gajeel had refused to help set up but immediately got down on his knees and began putting it together when Levy had said he wouldn't 'get some' for a month if he didn't help.

Lucy had a soft smile on her face as she thought about her makeshift family and drifted off to sleep..
