Lucy's last class for the day was Science, they dissected a frog and she did it all by herself. Her finger nails were dirty and she smelled funny, she wanted a shower so badly that was why she was putting her books away hurriedly. She also wants to get this day over with. It had started out bad enough, with Gajeel mocking her for getting ditched on by the school to babysit.

She turned to leave but her foot got caught up in the leg of her working table and she tripped, sending her, and her bag, spiraling to the floor. Lucy cursed as she sat up and saw her things sprawled all over the floor around her. 'Can this day get any worse?'

"Need any help there?"

Lucy rolled her eyes when she heard the all too familiar voice. 'Apparently, it can'. At this point, she was quite aware that they were alone right now. 'It definitely can'.

Lissana Strauss was one of her ex-friends, you know the plastic ones that befriends you and later spills all your secrets to her gossip friends, later on, humiliates you.

She didn't answer; instead she got up to pick up her things completely ignoring the pain in her ankle. Acting nonchalant was proving to be quite difficult with Lissana watching her. She checked that everything was there and started to stand up. Unfortunately, she underestimated the pain on her ankle. she would have fallen if not for the table.

"I clearly don't see why you're still here" Lucy snapped.

Lissana cowered in fear and apologized and run off to who knows where hell is burning.

"Stop bottling your frustration, you know it's not good for your health" Erza Scarlet, is her cousin, a semi professional gymnast, a consistent honor student, and a over protective cousin.

"Even if your the older than me for 3 years doesn't mean your the boss of me" Erza ruffled Lucy's hair, she swatted her hand away.

"Let's go to the hospital, let's go" Erza said with sad eyes.

Lucy reluctantly followed Erza to her car, Erza drove them to St. Peter and Paul Hospital in the next town.

"Why do I have to attend this check ups?, we know that I wouldn't live for a long time, you and auntie knew that since I was little" Lucy pursed her lips, she kept her mouth shut as Erza glared at her.

When they arrived, Lucy just followed Erza to her doctor's office, and coincidentally is Erza fiance's Father Mikazuchi-san.

Erza opened the door for Lucy, and Lucy was so robotic.

"Hi Mikazuchi-san!" Erza greeted, the said person greeted her back.

"hahahaha- Erza, stop calling me that, you're going to be family soon, just call be Dad" Mikazuchi-san smiled and gestured us to sit down.

"Hello Lucy" Lucy nodded in recognition.

Mikazuchi-san opened his laptop, 'His eyes says it all' he looked at Lucy with pity

"Lucy's 'plaques' and 'tangles' seems to have increased in the past few months, which is very bad, this leads to the loss of connections between nerve cells, and eventually to the death of nerve cells and loss of brain tissues, it indicates that... Lucy doesn't-"

"Please don't say that!" Erza was in tears, thinking about Lucy dying was just too much.

Lucy sighed "Erza, calm down"

"Calm down! Calm down you say! How can I calm down!, I don't want to lose you" Erza shouted.

"How much time do I have, 'till then?" Lucy massage her templates.

"1 year and 6 months, if you drink your medicine during meals, and do surgery and chemo, then you'll have 2 years more"

"Please do everything! I can't lose her yet, she too young" Erza pleaded

Mikazuchi-san smiled sadly "I'm sorry, Erza, but it's all up to Lucy whether she would want surgery"

"Erza, let me make my choices, once in a while" Lucy argued "If I die then I'll die, it's not like I can wish this away"

"Lucy, don't think negative, just please" Erza with tear filled eyes hugged Lucy tightly.

Lucy tch-ed "You're such a drama queen"

Mikazuchi-San chuckled at Lucy's perkiness, Erza glared at her.

"Anyway, let's go home, I have to do my algebra homework"

Erza sighed and thanked Mikazuchi-san and they left.

When they got home, Lucy went straight to her room, jumped on to her bed not caring in a thing in the world at the moment, she closed her eyes and let the darkness consume her.

The next day, Lucy begrudgingly got up from her bed, her hair was a mess, there was dried drool on the corner of her lips, all what happened yesterday came surging through her brain, she groaned 'Oh right, I have to babysit'

She prepared herself for school and went downstairs and grabbed a pack of chocolate chip cookies from the cabinet and walked off to school.

"Lucy! you're late" The President Mirajane Strauss crossed her arms.

The President was with Euclife and some 2 other guys. "Okay, now that everyone is here, why don't you guys get to know each other"the president then left us.

"Hi I'm Sting Euclife, I'll be your guide today" He extended his hand to the guy with the Makeup which by the way ignored him.

'I like this guy' Lucy snickered which earned her a glare from Euclife.

"Hahahahaha... This is Midnight Seis and my name is Jellal Fernandes" Luna's eyes widened at the name.

"Lucy!" Gajeel called, Lucy has never been so thankful for Gajeel's annoying presence in her whole life 'Metal-face!' Lucy faked smiled.

Gajeel froze in his tracks "Your smile is scary" a vein popped from Lucy

Lucy prayed to the high heavens that he doesn't recognized her.

"Anyway, I have things to do, Euclife can show you around the school" Lucy then went to Gajeel.

"Hey! don't ditch me! hey Heartfilia!" Euclife shouted

Gajeel gave him the stink eye, Lucy elbowed Gajeel and gave himthe stink eye instead.

"Wouldn't that be unfair to Euclife? I mean both of you were assigned to us to give the tour, so why are you running off from your responsibilities for you to spend time with your boyfriend, Lucy?" Jellal butted in

Lucy's eyes twitched 'Oh he recognizes me, and he acts like nothing happened'

Jellal sadistically smiled he gave off a bad vibe that made Lucy pissed as f*ck.

Lucy snapped "for 10 years! you haven't even sent a letter! even once! you didn't answer my calls! you promised me that you'll stay in touch! you ungrateful piece of sh*t, and here I see you and you act like you don't know me! so the time we spent together was nothing then!" Lucy shouted in anger

Well to make this clearer to you guys, Jellal stopped contacting Lucy after he left and that made Lucy very upset, Lucy kept asking her auntie if Jellal called and said that he didn't, It seemed that Lucy was taken for granted and was tossed to the side.

She called many time but no one answered, later on, Erza told Lucy to give up, and said that Lucy can have better friends, loyal friends, the ones that won't forget you on purpose.

"If you think I'll forgive so easily than think again,tattoo jerk, I'm not a rag doll you can control" Lucy hissed.

"Any idea what they're talking about" Euclife whispered to Gajeel

"Not a clue" Gajeel answered.

"Are you even listening!?" Lucy tried so hard not to punch James.

"Uh-Y-Yes, of course. Um- Lucy-"

Lucy gritted her teeth, not wanting to hear his excuse "Let go, Gajeel, I'm tired of shouting at this, bastard"

Jellal watched as the two left with sad eyes 'It's nice to see you again, Lucy'
