Chapter 2: Reconciliation

I slowly approach the big wooden doors of the church and take in a deep breath. I can't help but be nervous; I'm finally going to be seeing Ur-sama again after 10 years. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I've last seen her. I still don't know the reason she left. One moment she was there, the next she was gone.

I was so angry that day 10 years ago. Ur-sama was my only friend. No children my age ever wanted to play with me, and I was always bullied but Ur was always there for me. I would always smile whenever she was around me. Then one day she vanished.

A wave of emotions started to stir around in my head. Anger, sadness, nervousness, and surprisingly happiness. Yes I was a little happy to be seeing Ur again, but also angry.

'Ok Lucy, just take in a deep breath and open the door'. I take in a shaky breath and open the door with my trembling hand.

Outside sitting on the bench was her. I exhale air that I didn't even know I was holding in, and she turns to face me. I stand there mesmerized by her beauty. I've always known she was beautiful but it's been 10 years since I've last saw her, my memory of her is sketchy.

She's grown a little since the last time I've seen her, and was very slim. She still had the same silky black hair that went up to her chin, with a pale complexion that suited her very well. She was also wearing a black knee-length dress that made her crystal blue eyes shine. The one thing that was different about her was the little amount of wrinkles appearing on her face. (A/N: sorry I'm terrible at describing people) As I stare more closely at her I notice the dried up tears on her cheeks and her puffy eyes. I feel my heart ache, I hate when people I care about cry. No matter what happened in the past I still love her like a mother.

After I was finally able to fine my voice again I whisper to her "Hi Ur-sama." She runs over to me and gives me a long hug. I stand there stunned for a second, but then I return the hug. I feel tears running down my cheeks. "Ur-sama I've missed you so much." I choke out.

She pulls me away from the hug which leaves me feeling a little sad, and stares at me. "Oh Lucy, look at you. You're a young women now, you look just like your mother." I feel my heart clench at this comment. It's still a sensitive topic for me to talk about. "I'm sorry I left you so long ago. I'm so sorry." She falls to her knees and begins to cry in her hands.

My tears start falling at a rapid speed now, and I bend down and give a hug while running my hand on her back to sooth her. "No Ur-sama don't apologize. I don't know why you left but I forgive you. I don't want to think about the past right now it's too painful. I'm just glad I'm here with you. I've missed you."

After a few more minutes of crying in each other's embrace, we get up and adjust our dresses.

"I think that's enough crying for today, let's just forget about the past right now and focus on the present. Now come on we have a long drive to my house back in Magnolia." She leads me back to her car and we begin our long journey to Ur's house.

As a sit there looking out the window, a million thoughts run through my mind. The main one being why did Ur leave. I've always wondered about that. When I was little I used to think that she finally got sick of me like the other people did. I had to ask it was killing me. "Uh Ur-sama I was won-." She cuts me off "Just call me auntie. No need for the formalities." She takes her eyes off the road for second and flashes a smile at me.

I can't help but smile back, which makes Ur smile bigger. "Now there's the smile I've been looking for." She says.

It's been a while since I've smiled. Ever since my parents death I never thought I would smile again, but Ur was able to do the impossible.

"Anyway what were you saying Lucy."

I felt the frown return to my face. "Uh well Ur- I mean auntie I was wondering, why did you leave me for the past 10 years." I whispered the last part. It was a lot harder to say then I thought.

Ur sighed and frowned also. "That's something I hate to remember Lucy, but since you asked I'll tell you, it's the least you deserve. 10 years ago my brother, his wife, and son got into a terrible house fire. Only my nephew survived." I gasp and look at her with eyes of pure sorrow. I never knew she went through this. Ur continued on.

"Since I was the only other relative my nephew, his names Gray by the way, he was sent to live with us. My husband became infuriated. You see we already had two children of our own, I think I told you about Lyon and Ultear, and we just couldn't afford to care for another child. But I didn't care I just wouldn't leave Gray in the streets he is my nephew after all, so I took him in as my own. My husband wasn't happy with this so he left and took all our money. We barely were able to afford our house and I went into a deep state of depression, but I was able to pull through because I love my children so deeply. I consider Gray my own child he even calls me mom now." I remembered Ur's husband. He was a cruel man. I always knew Ur had children but her husband refused to let them come play with me because he hated my family because we were rich. I never knew he would go to the extent of abandoning his own children and wife because she wanted to take in another child.

The car stopped moving. I was confused for a second before noticing that Ur parked on the side of the street. She was gripping her steering wheel tightly that I saw her knuckles go white.

"The reason I didn't come visit you was because I was battling with my own emotions. Those were a difficult few years for us. We had no home, no money, and I was battling with my baby brother's death. Your mother tried to help us but I refused, I couldn't burden your mother and father with my own problems." She drew in a shaky breath and stared at me tears streaming down her face. "Lucy you don't know how much I regretted not seeing you for 10 years. It broke my heart everyday knowing I was apart for you. I only resolved my problems about a month ago. The first thing on my mind was to visit you and your family, but then this happened .I'm so sorry Lucy I'm so sorry. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."

I looked at Ur with pure sympathy in my eyes. Tears started to sting my eyes and I let them fall. "Auntie I'm so sorry you had to go through that crisis. I'm not angry at all with you; I understand you had your family problems you had to resolve. I already forgave you the minute I saw you. Aunties please don't cry anymore I'm just so happy to see you and I'm happy your problems are over. Too many tears were shed today; I just want to be happy for once." I flashed her one of my rare smiles.

Ur looked at me and gave me a hug before flashing a smile of her own. "Lucy you've matured so much, and your right from this point on we are all gonna be happy. Now we better get going, there still 2 more hours of driving, and I'm so excited for you to meet my kids." She laughed and continued driving.

Ur and I started talking about all sorts of things. From the crazy adventures of her family and I told her some of mine to. She also told me of all the troubles her and my mother caused when they were younger. It didn't hurt to talk about my parents anymore. It actually kind of felt…good. Like a weight has been lifted off my chest.

I made a promise to myself that day. That I will no longer be the depressed Lucy I was for the past 3 weeks. I'm starting fresh; I'm going to be the happy Lucy my parents would have wanted me to be. I stared out my window towards the sky, I saw the sun shining and the birds were singing their songs. It was a great day.

'I know you guys will be watching me every step of the way. I love you mama and papa and I promise you I'll be happy until the day I'm reunited with you two again.' I snuck a quick glance at Ur and was happy to see her smiling. I turned back towards the window and shut my eyes letting sleep come to me.

And done! I'm not really all that proud of this chapter but whatever I just needed to put the boring stuff in the beginning to get the story going along. Next chapter Gray will be introduced! Anyway I hope you enjoyed and if I have any mistakes don't be afraid to tell me. Oh and review review review!
