Hi! Welcome to the next chapter of, "Abusive Love", enjoy!

~Natsu's POV~

I walked home, fully aware of what day it is. Thank Mavis we had no school today, thank you President Day!

Anyway, today was the day he came. My dad's brother, Acnologia. The man that caused me the most pain ever in my entire life. My father can't even compare to him, he had come over because today was my dad's birthday and his sister, Lola, said everyone must be there. I hoped he wasn't here today...otherwise, I might just break down.

I sighed as I reached the door. My father said we had family coming over so I needed to look decent for them.

I walked to my room, hearing the shower. Dad was in his shower. Thank Mavis I hooked my shower to a different water line. He would kill me if I used the hot water. I managed to get in contact with a person who was able to get the chip out, by the way, however, he didn't have the tools at the moment. I, of course, broke down. I wasn't able to escape yet. I also went to a different water company for my water. When they heard who I was, they let me have it free. Apparently, Lucy's family owns the company, when they heard I was her boyfriend, they let me have it free of all charges, saying Lucy was the nicest person they'd ever seen and that she talked highly of me, causing me to smile.

I took a shower and dressed in a blue plaid button up shirt, my dad's favorite pattern, with dark blue jeans, my dad's favorite type of jeans. When I was ready, I walked down and prepared my dad's favorite meal. No matter how much I hate him, I can't be rude on his birthday. I heard the doorbell ring just as I finished setting snacks out.

I went to open it and, to my horror, it was Acnologia... I froze in terror, while he smirked.

"Hello again, Natsu..." he said evilly just as my dad came in.

"Ah, Acnologia! Great to see you again!" my dad said, dressed in similar clothing to me, except a red plaid shirt. He looked at my outfit and smiled, nodding in joy.

I walked back into the kitchen to get started on the turkey, stuffing it with my dad's favorite stuffing. I decided I wouldn't eat any and just eat at Lucy's. I doubt dad would notice my absence. I finished getting the turkey ready and put it in the oven, that was already pre-heated. I started to do the side-dishes ready, consisting of Mac-and-cheese, green beans, and some cut mango. I made some cake as well that had cooled off after I made it this morning. However, before I could finish the side-dishes, Acnologia came in the kitchen, cutting me short. I froze once more.

"So, Natsu, how are you lately? You know, after that amazing time we had together," he said, I felt a shiver run through my spine as he said that.

This man was the one who raped me. When I was really young, barely past 1st grade, he had done so. It was when my dad didn't abuse me and mom didn't leave yet.

"..." I gave him the silent treatment as I finished the food. I heard the oven go off and took the thermometer and stuck it in the turkey, checking if it was done. Seeing it at the right temperature, I took it out to let it cool off some before I carve it. I went back to the side-dishes, finishing them as well. I looked at the time then, 5:54, perfect. I waited for a minute, before I carved the turkey, setting the slices on a separate plate, then took it to the dining room and set it down along with the rest. I looked at the time, 6:00. Right on time.

"Dinner!" I called, then I watched as they piled into the room one by one, dad being last. When all was in the dining room, I walked to the stairs to pull my shoes on, then went out the door.

LATER~!

Walking in the park, I sat on a bench and texted Luce.

'Hey, Luce! What you doin'?' I asked her through text

'Hey, Natsu! Not much, I'm pretty bored actually." She replied.

'Well, I was wondering if you might want to go to dinner, just the two of us?" I asked her again.

'Sure! See you soon!' with that, our texting ended. I walked through the park some more, then ran into someone unexpected.

"M-mom!?" I said in shock as I looked at her in disbelief.

"N-Natsu!?" she said in surprise.

Without thinking, I hugged her, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Natsu? Son, what's wrong?" she asked.

"I...why'd you leave? Why?" I asked her crying.

"I left because your father threatened our lives. Saying that I needed to leave for making such and, in his words, "Ugly child." after your pink hair started to show." she said sorrowfully.

"However, I'm worried. Why are you crying so much?" she asked, worry lacing her voice.

"A-after y-you le-ft...dad started to a-a-abu-se m-m-e..." I heard her gasp.

"No...please tell me your lying sweetie. Please." she pleaded. I shook my head no, and tears fell from her eyes.

"I'm so sorry my baby boy! You are coming to live with me whether your father likes it or not." she dragged me to dad's house, however, I stopped her.

"I can't. He put a shock chip in my neck so I couldn't run away..." I said sadly. She gasped once more.

"What is wrong with him!? You're only a boy!" she shouted angrily, dragging me harder.

"Mom! I need to go! I've got a date with my girlfriend!" I shouted, then she stopped.

"You have a girlfriend?" she asked in shock. I nodded, then she started squealing.

"Oh my gosh! My baby boy is all grown up!" she squealed.

"Mom! I'm gonna be late!" I shouted, then she let me go and I ran the whole way to Lucy's apartment.

~Lucy's POV~

Natsu's late again! He better have a good reason!

I saw Natsu running this way wearing something at least decent for a restaurant. Then I noticed tears in his eyes.

"Natsu!? What's wrong!?" I asked worried, did his dad do something?

"Nothing, in fact, I couldn't be happier!" he said, then I noticed the huge grin plastered on his face. A real grin.

"Okay, what happened then?" I asked, what made him so happy?

"You won't believe it...I ran into my mom! After all these years I found her!" he said cheerfully. I gasped, that was a good reason.

"Hey, Luce? Can I tell you something? It's really personal." he said dead serious.

"Sure," I replied.

"Okay, after my mom left, my dad...well..." he said. Wait, was he going to confess to the abuse?

"My dad abused me after she left. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get hurt. However, I have hope now!" he said happily while I faked gasped as he said his dad abused him.

"Really? Why didn't you just run away?" I asked him.

"My dad put a shock chip in my neck so if I'm past curfew I get shocked," he said sadly, pointing to the scar on his neck. I gasped, this time not fake.

"However, a man came into town saying he might be able to get it out. I got an appointment with him soon!" he said, I smiled.

"Well, I really want to meet your mom. Can I?" I asked him and he nodded.

"Come on, I got her number in the park, I text her to meet us at 8Island's," he said.

~Natsu's POV~

"Hey, Mom!"

"Hey, sweetie! Do you need something?" She asked me.

"No, but my girlfriend wants to meet you. Is that okay?" I asked.

"OF COURSE! I WANT TO MEET MY BABY BOY'S GIRLFRIEND!" she sent back.

"Ha ha! Meet us at 8Island's! See you in about 7 minutes!" With that, I ended that chat.

"We need to go, my mom agreed!" with that, I and Luce walked to 8Island that was just around the corner.

6 minutes later

I saw my mom coming up the sidewalk and walked to her, "Mom!" I exclaimed with Luce beside me.

"Sweetie!" she said as she hugged me, causing me to blush in embarrassment, however, it's better than dad punching me.

"Oh, you must be my son's girlfriend, he ran from me trying not to be late for your date. It was really cute, he was so worried about being late!" she said, I blushed more.

"Ha ha! Sounds like Natsu. He does anything for me or his friends. Actually, Natsu and I are the star couple at our school!" Luce replied.

"Really!? Oh. My. GOSH! Sweetie! You never told me!" mom pouted.

"Eh! Because I knew you'd get excited! I didn't want you to get more excited!" I said to her.

"Ha ha! I missed messing with you, sweetie!" I laughed with her as mom said that, Luce joined.

That was a nice day, however, I knew better.

It's always calm before the storm...

Me: Hope you liked that chapter ladies and gentlemen!

Natsu: I did! My mom's now home! I'm fired UPPPPPPP!

Lucy: Well, I hope Natsu and I get closer in this!

Me: Oh don't worry...*giggles evilly*

Natsu: Lucy! The authoress is being scary! *hugs Lucy*

Lucy: Just Ignore it Natsu. *hugs back*

Me: Awww! Anyway! Please review!

Me, Natsu and Lucy: See you next time!
