Thank you to those who have followed my story and reviewed!
Bickslow POV
After seeing the officer take Lucy out to talk to her I didn't feel like being here anymore. I went over to the guys and told them something came up and I had to leave. But when I walked outside I didn't expect to hear what Lucy had screamed at the Officer.
"What do you mean someone tried to murder you?" I asked Lucy. I didn't know where the anger came from but the fact that someone tried to kill the girl I always cared about pissed me off.
At the sound of my voice Lucy turned around looking wide eyed. "Nothing don't worry about it I'll talk to you later sir." She said to me and turned her attention back to the officer.
"Doranbolt you can go tell him to forget it. I won't give my father his final request." She said to him and walked back into the club.
Walking back into the club I looked at Bacchus and saw him point to the back room. When I walked back there she was on the floor in tears.
"Cosplayer?" I said I didn't want her to know I knew who she was just yet. She'd figure it out but I wanted to make sure.
"Stop calling me that I'm not a Cosplayer. This is the uniform I have to wear for work." She said glaring at me. "My name's Lucy."
"I know. Lucy what happened when you were gone? What happened in the ten years you left that I don't know about?" I asked her. I watched her go stiff and then look up at me with tears in her eyes, she had a look of shock on her face before she tackled me to the ground.
No one's POV
Lucy realized as soon as the words that left his mouth who he was. Bickslow…. Without thinking she had jumped up from the spot on the floor and tackled him to the ground successfully knocking him into the cans that had been set down on floor. Crash! When Bacchus heard the sound he quickly ran to the back room and to his surprise found the two laughing as hard as they could on the floor.
"What the hell happened?!" Bacchus yelled at Bickslow.
"Nothing she just accidently tackled me to the ground and knocked those cans over." Bickslow shrugged letting his tongue hang out when he smiled.
"Alright if you say so, Lucy I don't know what happened with that officer but go ahead and go home to rest. I'll see you tomorrow." Bacchus said smiling towards Lucy then walking out of the back to go talk to Gajeel and Laxus.
Lucy POV
It was quiet on the walk home. Bickslow had offered to walk me but neither one of us knew just what to say. As soon as we got to my house he had started to walk away but I didn't want it to end not like this I really needed to talk to him.
"Wait! Please come in with me. I want to talk to you." I said. I was scared to be honest, I hadn't seen him in so long and I was afraid he would be mad at me.
He followed me into the living room and sat down on the couch while I went to get us some tea. When I came back into the living room he looked like he was lost in thought. "I'm sorry..." I said I didn't know what else to say I had plenty of excuses for why I hadn't been to Magnolia in the past ten years but I could have always tried harder.
"Why didn't you come back until now?" he was upset and I knew he would be.
"I tried so many times Bickslow. The first time I asked I was told no after being told no so many times I tried to run away to come get you but… I got caught by the servants and they locked me in my room. Father changed after his business opened he started being hateful, smacking me around when mother wasn't looking. Then…" I couldn't finish the words I was going to say. I haven't fully accepted what happened myself and here I was trying to tell Bickslow what happened to get him to understand.
"Then? What happened Lucy? Because I don't understand." His voice was cold and distant as he looked at me still trying to comprehend my reasoning.
"Years passed to no avail I wasn't able to leave the house. Father grew more hateful, they started fighting more and more each day. Then 6 months ago…." I broke down hitting the floor as the memories hit me one by one of the night I've been trying to forget since it happened. I didn't even notice that Bickslow had jumped off the couch to hold me.
It was cold, Mother and father had been fighting for days over the business, father's change in attitude and the way he started treating us. I was in my room reading trying to ignore the fighting in the background. The fact that the fighting became normal was not a good sign for me it was only a matter of time before something bad happened. Then it happened Mother filed the divorce papers and was going to take me back to Magnolia. I was packing my bag like I was told when it all went down. Father came storming in my room where my mother and I were with a gun.
"You are not leaving this house. You will put those clothes back in that dresser and stay right there." Father said pointing the gun towards me. Mother wasn't going to go down without a fight she tried to get the gun away from father when…BANG! The gun went off hitting mother through her chest. I saw the blood splatter on the wall and on my clothes. I saw Ms. Spetto run down the hall and call the cops while father looked at me. I saw my mother dead on the floor her eyes still filled with terror as she laid on the ground dead.
"You think you can leave. You belong to my company; you will follow my rules or I will make sure you never see that boy ever again Lucy." My father said looking at me. I couldn't do this not anymore I can't just sit back and let him do whatever he wants with my life. He's taken my freedom and my mother away I won't let him take my friends. I went to run when he grabbed me in the background I could hear the sirens outside the house. I heard screaming, felt the gun to my side as there was 5 pointed to my father. The last thing I remember from that night was hearing a gunshot and feeling like I was dying. I woke up in the hospital a bandage on my side and being told that my father had been arrested and that I was going to have to testify against him in court.
I don't know how long I stood there curled into myself on the floor as each memory flooded into my mind. I knew Bickslow was there but I couldn't see him all I could see was each vision pulling me back to that night replaying constantly.
Bickslow POV
Lucy had invited me in to talk when we got to her house but I didn't know what to say to her. On one point I'm happy because she's back but on another I'm ticked because she never kept in touch with me for ten years. What could her reasoning be for not at least writing me? There were so many questions going through my mind that I didn't even notice she was back into the living room until she apologized.
"Why didn't you come back until now?" I asked. I was upset because it took her ten years to come back to me. I'm sure she had reasons but I still didn't understand.
I was listening to her explain why she couldn't have come to see me. A lot of them sounded like excuses but there was something that she's not telling me. She's stumbling over her words trying to make sure she doesn't say whatever it is she's hiding. When she didn't finish what she was saying I gave her a minute to start again but she never did.
"Then? What happened Lucy? Because I don't understand." I still couldn't comprehend what she was hiding. But when she started explaining how her father started acting and the fighting I figured something else had happened. Then all of a sudden she started panicking I dove for her to catch her from falling and just sat there holding her. In just a matter of minutes she was screaming while I held her as whatever had happened started replaying in her mind. I didn't know what to do even my memories never made me act like this.
"Lucy! Lucy!" I hollered trying to get her attention but it wasn't working she just kept repeating Don't the whole time. After screaming her name a few more times she finally looked at me and said "Bickslow"
She had passed out afterwards and I just brought her to her room. I couldn't leave her alone so I decided I'd go stay in the Living room and sleep. I had to call gramps and let him know that there was a good chance we wouldn't be in class tomorrow.
Ring Ring Ring
"Hello." Makarov said as he answered the phone
"Gramps, it's Bickslow" I said
"Bickslow what's the matter child? I'm surprised you're not home yet?" which probably meant that Laxus was back already from partying at the club.
"I ran into Lucy and we were talking at her house when she fell to the ground screaming. I think it was because of a memory. We were talking about what happened to her and that's when she freaked." I explained I didn't know exactly what happened but it was apparently something bad.
"That's not good. Is she ok now? I assume since you're calling it's to tell me you two may not be at school tomorrow because of this incident?" he said still concerned.
"Yeah she's ok right now but only because she passed out. I don't feel right leaving her right now. I didn't know how she would be tomorrow so I'm sure we won't be there." I said I was trying to keep an ear out in case Lucy woke up.
"Alright, keep me updated Bickslow. I know what happened to her but be prepared when she finally tells you Bickslow it's not a pretty story. I am only aware of it because of the Officer that handled the case." He said in a serious tone.
"I will." After that I hung up and went back into Lucy's room to go check on her. It was obvious it had something to do with what she told that cop.
No Ones PoV
Lucy woke up the next morning barely remembering what happened. She knew she was talking to Bickslow but then after that it went blank. Lucy looked at the clock to see the time and started freaking out.
"10 a.m.! I'm late. I am so dead I have to hurry and get dressed to get to school." Lucy said and went hurrying around her room to gather her things when she heard laughing from behind her.
Bickslow had woken up at 9 that morning and started making breakfast for both him and Lucy. It was almost done when he heard a scream come from Lucy's bedroom. As he walked into her room he couldn't help but laugh she looked like a chicken with her head cut off scrambling around the room.
"Bickslow..." Lucy said looking at him wondering what he was still doing here.
"Come on I made you something to eat and don't worry about school I called Makarov last night to tell him we wouldn't be there." He said smiling with his tongue out.
Lucy was amazed he was actually here to her last night almost felt like a dream. Then she remembered she never told him what had happened to finally let her come back to Magnolia.
"I... I never finished telling you what happened…" She said while they were eating Breakfast
"Don't worry about Lucy. You can tell me one day when it's not so hard for you. I don't want you to push yourself so hard like last night." Bickslow really wanted to know but he didn't want to force her to tell him especially if it was going to possible put her in the state she was in last night.
"Why don't we just spend the rest of the day catching up? It has been ten years since we talked." Bickslow said
Once they finished eating Bickslow helped Lucy clean and then they walked into the living room to talk.
They spent hours talking about the schools they went to what they did in each other's absence. The one thing that Lucy was afraid to ask was how Bickslow ended up at Makarov's house.
"Bickslow what happened that made you go live with Makarov?" Bickslow sighed he knew this conversation would come up but was he ready to tell her the true horrors of what happened that night especially being this soon after her panic attack.
"How about we talk about that stuff later? I just want to keep you from panicking again you have work tonight to go to." He could talk about it without any issues now but he was more worried about her at this point. If he told her it could bring up the memory from last night again and at this time he was not gonna take that risk.
