Not your typical RoLu/StinCy story. Lucy suffers from a great deal of pain. She is self-conscious, and suffers from depression and anxiety. Half her problems are her past of bullying, and the other half is due to her non-understanding family/parents. When Lucy moves to a new school, she meets a boy who shares similar problems. Can they heal each other?
*(A/N: Rogue and the rest of the Fairy Tail Gang will not be introduced till about chapter 2 and 3. I am including original characters for her family, to make my story more...complete. Also, in this story, Layla (Lucy's mom) will be misunderstanding. No hate anyone!)*
*****DISCLAIMER*****: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL
LUCY P.O.V.:
Today was a horrible day. Another day when I made a small mistake, and I was called stupid, useless, lazy, ugly, and a failure, by my so called "family." People always say, "You shouldn't care what others say or think. You should ignore them." But...What if your FAMILY told you this... everyday? You would eventually start believing that you truly were stupid, useless, lazy, ugly, and a failure. You would tell yourself you were worthless. I'm too much of a coward to kill myself. I'm selfish. I slammed my door and dived under my bed covers, and started to cry. The worst part is, I can't tell my family that they are hurting me. That they are making me feel horrible. I swear, I have had suicidal thoughts countless times before. If I told them all of this, they would call me weak and pathetic and it would only torture me more. My family cares I know, but they unintentionally hurt me more than they think. Except for my father. He actually physically abuses me. I cannot escape the cruel fate of reality. My whole life has been a living hell. Since I was about three years old, my father started abusing me. Physically and verbally. I was told I was stupid, ugly, a failure and several other shaming words, ten times a day. He also had a whip. The worst punishment was the whip. The sound of it crackling against my skin, in the dusty attic of our grand manor. He threatened me that if I ever told anyone, he would make my fate worse than death. And my father, Jude, has his hands in everything and can get whatever he wants. I have broke down before my mother, but she simply got annoyed and asked me what was wrong with me. I feel so alone. I will admit, these years of family bullying had made me very self-conscious. I cry every night, and grab the pink razor I have befriended, as I release my pain, and a red liquid stains the bath water. I also have depression and anxiety. Nowadays I just wear long sleeved shirts, and long sweaters, and lone skinny jeans, and flats. Everyday, my two sisters also make my day a hell lot worse. Not to mention they also watch what I do and I the only privacy I get is when I lock my doors and sob myself to sleep. They don't understand what I'm going through. Not to mention that no one understands or cares. I wish I could run away. But then my father would come and take me back and make me wish I was never alive. Tomorrow I am starting my first day at a new school. Magnolia Academy. I also have learned to hate school, as in all my previous schools, I went through deep trauma and bullying. I was burnt, cut, almost-raped, and all the time would people verbally-abuse me. I was known as "The Blond Bimbo" or "The Slutty B*tch." Kids were so kind with their words. I touched my arm as I felt the scars of my previous cuts. Here is a fact that you probably think is stupid: I promised myself, when things got better and someone reached out to me and understood me, I would stop cutting. I laughed at the thought. It was never going to happen. Eventually, I sobbed myself to sleep. I woke up at five-o-clock, to try and leave the house for school before my father was up. I put on a white T-shirt, then a long slender navy blue sweater, with a pair of skinny white jeans. Finally, I put on my navy-blue Toms. I brushed my hair back, and looked at my ugly self in the mirror. I am so worthless. Depression is like drowning in a sea, while everyone else around you is breathing. I put on my backpack, and skipped breakfast, as I slowly turned the doorknob, a cold,"Where do you think you are going young lady?" stopped me. I turned around to face my abuser. He grabbed the whip and lashed out at me a few times. I used my backpack to dodge, as I turned the doorknob and ran and ran. I glanced at my watch. Crap. It's only 6 AM, and school doesn't start for another one hour and 45 minutes. When I finally arrived at school, I sat in the garden, dreaming about one day, that I would be saved from my hell. I didn't realize that an hour and 45 minutes had already passed. When the bell finally rang, I walked over to Principle Makarov's office. "Hello Lucy. Here is you schedule." Then he gave me my schedule and started snoring.. Uhh.. Okay? I glanced down at the paper. It read: Period 1: Science: Evergreen Room # 47, Period 2: Math: Gildarts Clive Room # 54, Period 3: History: Aries Celestial Room # 39, Period 4: Language Arts: Aquarius Room # 50, Period 5: Computer Applications: Bacchus Room # 32, Period 6: Physical Education: Elfman Strauss Room # 46. Period 7: Art: Cancer: Room # 52. So right now I am at the office, which is room 23... I kept walking till I got to room # 47. Everyone else was already seated and chatting away. I took a deep breath then knocked, and oepned the door. looked up at me. "Hi. I'm Lucy. Today is my first day here at Magnolia Academy." replied,"Welcome Lucy. You will need a notebook that is 100 subject wide-ruled for my class. You may sit next to Rogue." She then pointed to a pretty handsome, but serious looking boy who sat towards the end of the room. So I.. am supposed to sit between a hot-but-scary Rogue, and a also hot blond guy? My mind is screaming WTF! As I walked down to my seat, I hear whispers,"She is cute." "I want her number." "Look at those beautiful curves." I was about to yell, "PERVERTS!" when Rogue stood up and said,"Leave her alone." The class quieted down. Then the blond who sat to my right side spoke,"I'm Sting, babe. Let's go out." I LUCY-KICKED him and yelled "PERVERT" as the class started laughing. The whole class suddenly froze though. They all stared at Rogue who was laughing. Then once again, they started whispering,"Rogue never laughs." "Rogue never smiles." "Oh my god Rogue laughed." But then Rogue stopped laughing and glared at the class who spun around and started on their work. I smiled a little at Rogue.
