Lucy was in her room all day crying and regretting about what she said yesterday to Natsu, every time she closed her eyes all she saw was the pain in his eyes, oh how she wish she could go back and re-do that day. Sting and Jude were down stairs planning the engagement party whilst Layla just left them be she knew that he was doing the wrong thing and every time she tried to tell him he would just say 'it's for the good of the business' or 'she needs to marry a wealthy man' just stuff to do with money.

"Sting, when you marry my daughter I want you to have a boy so he can carry out the business" Sting had a smile smacked on his face when Jude asked him to have a boy all he could picture was the many times he had to try.

"Yes sir" they carried on organising and writing invitations to the party all they needed now was Lucy's signature and they were good to go, "Sting go and get Lucy down so she can sign these."

He knocked on her door and entered with a smirk still attached to his face,

"If you don't stop smirking I will smack it of your face" Lucy was so angry with both of them that just couldn't deal with it any more.

"C'mon babe, cheer up, I just need you to sign these." He handed her the sheets, Lucy didn't care anymore she had already lost her lover and now a saying in the wedding plan. Lucy signed the sheets and handed them back to Sting and went back to her bed to sit in the corner, Sting just stared at her with wondering eyes and a smirk on his face once again.

"You can leave now" Lucy said staring at him with eyes full of caution but he didn't even step towards the door he just placed the paper work on the table next him and stared back at Lucy.

"I said get out" she had just about enough of his- well everything about him, she got of her bed and walked up to him ready to slap him,

"come to give me a kiss goodbye" another smirk appeared and this time Lucy did smack it of his face leaving a red hand mark on his cheek, Lucy just stood there looking down at the floor and was about to walk away but was stopped when something tugged on her hair and pulled her back.

"You dare slap me again and I will find ways to make you wish you had never done it" he just kept pulling on Lucy's hair making her hiss in pain but he didn't care.

"and after the party I'm gunner make you so ashamed of yourself that you never want to see him again, also everyone needs to know your mine" sting bit onto her neck and left a purple mark where he bit and just chucked Lucy to the floor, smirked then walked out the door with the sheets of paper and closed the door. Lucy stayed there lying on the floor afraid to get up, she was so afraid of what he was going to do to her but most important she didn't want to see natsu see her like this, it was a dead end for Lucy.

(Natsu)

Natsu sat there on the window sill rolling a penny through his fingers still trying to figure out what happened last night. He wanted to see her again but when he saw Sting he knew it was going to be a challenge.

"YO, toaster boy get down her I'm not doing all the work" Grey said (they work in a second hand shop)

"Hey Grey, do you remember my cousin?"

"Which one? The one with piercings all over him, or the one always in the darkest place, or the huge one with a scar over his eye, or the pervert one" He had said that as if it was normal,

"The last one" Natsu said jumping down from the window

"Sting, what about him" Grey had just finished selling an old lamp to a strange cat lady.

"Well he was at Lucy's house last night and I want to know why" at that moment Erza came in with a letter in her hands and Erza staring at the boys with eyes that they knew which meant ' something's wrong'

"Lucy- Lucy is getting married" she handed Natsu the letter; he took the letter and jumped up to his window to read it.

Dear Erza, Grey and Natsu

I just wanted to say how sorry I am about the whole sleep over thing and I came to inform you that I can never see you guys again. I'm not hurt or anything so don't worry but I just wanted to say that I'm getting married! Isn't that great. And also I don't want you guys to come please don't take it the wrong way but it's just so I can forget about you.

You're sincerely

Lucy Heartfilia

Natsu just kept reading it over and over again hoping he had read the letter wrong but he didn't.

"Hey guys, did Lucy write this?" Natsu said throwing down the letter

"Yeah can't you see, see you really do have ash for brains" Grey said patting his head

"Then why is there two different types of writing" Natsu was only thinking one thing,

"Sting"-"Sting" Natsu and Grey said together making Erza wonder who this Sting guy was.

"Maybe it's an arrangement, sting his on the rich side of things" Grey said

"Yeah you're probably right" Erza was still shocked that they are agreeing on things for once but soon snapped out of it when a pillow was thrown at her head.

"Who is this Sting person?"

"Only the most annoying, perverted, happy buying idiot ever" Natsu said over doing it a bit. Erza looked towards Grey to know what he meant in English.

"He's the flame heads cousin" Erza just nodded to say she court on. The two sat there listening to Natsu over explain his cousin. But they all knew they had to do something to get Lucy away from Sting before he uses her as one of his many, many toys.

(Lucy)

That night Lucy just stared out of her window looking at the stars and imagining she was on top of the hill laying down while Natsu run his fingers through her hair and just star at her going on about the stars, but she knew he didn't mind, Lucy just smiled to herself playing with the ends of her hair.

She was soon snapped out of the happy thought when a knock came to the door,

"Lucy dear, may I come in?"

"Mama" Lucy went to the door to see her mother n the other side, tears already forming in Lucy's eyes, Layla stepped in and closed the door and just held her daughter in her arms rocking her back and forth.

"Mama, why is he doing this?" Layla was about to answer but then she saw a purple mark on her neck; she put Lucy at arms lengths and stared at her for a bit.

"What did he do to you?" Lucy knew she was on about the mark on her neck, and covered it up with her hand she looked so ashamed of herself and felt weak. Layla just look disgusted and knew if he done that then is more to come, oh how she wished Lucy could get away from all this.

"Run, run away Lucy"

"But mama"

"That way you won't get heard" Lucy nodded and silently ran out of the room, the boys were down stairs drinking whiskey and Lucy had to pass that room to get to the door, she was at the bottom of the stairs when she noticed a maid standing at the door.

"Mira" she didn't hear

"Mira-jane" she said a little louder and the maid looked her way and soon tip toed her way.

"Miss Lucy what are you..."

"I need your help, I'm trying to get out of here" Mira just looked at Lucy and noticed that she was wearing a vest top and shorts but agreed to help, she walked of and grabbed anther bottle of whiskey and headed into the room the boys soon noticed her and faced a different way so that Lucy could get passed.

As she went passed she smiled at Mira as to say thanks and went towards the door. A little click was heard when she tried to open the door, Lucy was about to close the door when she heard Sting's voice, "What was that?"

"I didn't hear anything master" Mira said trying to hide it up, Sting stood up and walked towards the door f the room, Lucy saw his shadow and didn't bother to close the door instead she just ran. When Sting walked into the hall way he felt a draft come in as he turned around he saw the door open half way.

"Why that little" He ran out the door to try and catch Lucy, she hadn't got far only up to the rose bushes and instantly started to run after her. Lucy turned her head and saw Sting running after her and started panicking but kept on running. He was catching up on her but when she reached the front gate she saw it was locked and didn't know what to do he was coming closer to her so she decided to climb the gate. Sting saw her trying to climb the gate and just chuckled and when he reached the gate Lucy was at the top trying to get her leg over, it was a bit hard for her considering that she had no shoes on and there were spikes at the top. Sting was already halfway up the gate and reached out the grab her ankle, when he did grab her ankle he began to pull her down,

"No, let go of me!"

"Come on babe don't be like that" she tried to struggle but it was no use he had a firm grip on her and was able to get her down with a few cuts. He chucked her over his shoulder and began to walk back to the house with Lucy kicking and screaming but then she stopped when she noticed a pair of Onyx eyes staring at her and Lucy just looked away as to say that she was ashamed of herself.

When they got to the house Jude was talking to Layla about how she let this happened? Sting walked past there and headed up stairs to put Lucy down but when they past her room Lucy were feeling sick in her stomach.

"You're sleeping with me so we don't let that happen again" he got into his room and dumped Lucy on the bed and locked the door and stuck the key on the door frame where she couldn't reach it. He began to take his clothes of to get into bed all he left on was his boxers, he got under the covers and rapped a arm around Lucy, he had his arm real close to her chest so he could feel how big and soft they are, he then nuzzled into her neck and fell asleep with a smile plastered on his face.

"Goodnight babe" he said as he held her tighter, Lucy just let the tears fall silently down her face and cried herself to sleep.
