"That was awesome! I want to do the exact same thing next year!" Wendy exclaimed as the got off the train.
"Of course it was awesome! We had cake, ice cream, presents and you even have a future cousin!" Lucy exclaimed as she linked her daughter's arm in her own. "Now, let us go home and make dinner, for I am starved!" Lucy burst out, while Wendy giggled at her mother.
"Yeah, let's!" They both started to head home when Lucy suddenly stopped. Wendy looked at her mother who was staring at something. "Mama?" Lucy's attention immediately snapped towards her daughter and she smiled.
"I'm fine, why don't you go to the bathroom real quick before we go, hmm?" Lucy asked sweetly.
"O-okay, mama," Wendy stared at her mother for a moment before turning to go to the women's room a few feet away.
*Lucy's P. O. V.*
God, please tell me my eyes are lying to me. I turned around to face a horrifying sight once more. My breath caught in my throat. It was real. I saw Siegrain, he was with another woman, their arms were linked. He said something to her that made the woman stand on her tip-toes and kiss his lips. I could feel my heart shatter and break. Please, God tell me that it isn't him. I pulled out my phone to dial his number. I pushed 'dial' and put the phone to my ear. To my horror, the blue haired man pulled a ringing phone out of his pocket and put it to his ear.
'Hello?' I heard him say.
I couldn't say anything. The words got caught in my throat and I couldn't force them out.
'Who is it?' I could hear the woman say, her voice was quite high.
'Nobody, I suppose,' Siegrain replied before he hung up and the line went dead.
The word rung in my head. Nobody. How was I a nobody to him? We've been married for thirteen years! I gave him a beautiful daughter! How in the bloody hell could I be a nobody to him?!
I snapped a picture of them. I don't know why, but I did. I punched in another number and hit 'dial'. After three rings, the receiver clicked.
'Lucy?' I heard a female voice inquire.
"Hey Hikari? I know it's short notice, but will you watch Wendy for a couple of hours?"
'ABSOLUTELY!' Hikari, one of my closest friends squealed, 'You know I always have time for my little Wendy-poo,'
"Wonderful, she'll be over in a little bit. And Hikari... Thank you."
"Hey, is something wrong?'
"No, I just need to straighten some things out." I answered her.
'Okay, well, tell Wendy that I look forward to seeing her,'
"I will,"
"'Kay, bye Lucy! Love you!'
"Love you too,' I smiled, "Bye," I put my phone back in my pocket, I glanced one more time at the cheating bastard I called a husband I went and found my daughter and we left.
Wendy was a little confused at first when I told her she was going to my friends house for a bit, but she didn't ask too many questions.
I sat down at the dinning room table, staring at the phone in front of me, deep in thought. I had packed several bags for Wendy and I and they were in the trunk of the car. If Siegrain could explain who that was and what he was doing, then I'll unpack and everything will go back to normal. If not, well, I would take Wendy and probably got to Laxus' for a while until I figured out what further to do.
Siegrain came home an hour later. I glanced at the clock as I heard the door unlock, the time was eight in the evening.
Siegrain came into the kitchen and smiled.
"Hey Lucy," He came behind me and wrapped his arms around me, "I missed you," he whispered in my ear. It didn't feel like it usually did to be held like him. This time I felt... Disgust and hatred. I pushed my chair back and got up, I turned around to glare at him. "What's wrong?"he looked at me, dumbfounded.
"How long?" My voice thick with accusation.
"How long what?" His face molded into confusion.
"How long have you been cheating?" I looked him in the eyes, his eyes filled with an array of emotions, fear, sadness, anger. But no regret. Not one speck.
"What are you talking about?" he asked me, I scoffed.
"Like you don't know!" I shouted. I snatched my phone from the table and flipped through pictures until I came to the one of him and the woman. "That is what I'm talking about, dear," I spat.
"That's not me," he stated.
"Then who is it, pray-tell? Is it Jellal, who is with his wife Erza at their house? Who couldn't have possibly been at that train station? Hmm?" Rage filled my eyes as I looked at the blunette in front of me. He stood silent. "That's what I thought," I whispered. "I'm going to ask you again, please don't lie to me. How long?"
"A year and a half," he said as he looked down.
"A year and a half?!" How did I not figure it out? how did I not suspect anything? All at once, the pieces started to fall into place. The delayed business trips... The working on Saturdays... It all made sense. "What about Wendy? did you ever think about her when you were off with another woman? I can stand you doing that to me, but to Wendy? You inconsiderate son of a-" I stopped myself from cursing. I shoved my phone into my pocket and went to the door. I grabbed the keys off of the small bowl on the table by the door and sped out the door, Siegrain close behind.
"Lucy," he grabbed my wrist and spun me around. I yanked my wrist from his grip and slapped his cheek.
"Don't touch me," I said in by far the most bitter tone I had ever used with anyone. I turned around and got into the car. I sped out of the driveway and towards Hikari's house, leaving Siegrain alone, staring after me. I hope he knows he screwed things up beyond repair this time.
I got out of the car and walked up to the front door. I knocked a few times before a slender brunette opened the door.
"Lucy!" I was glomped by the woman before I had a chance to escape.
"Hey Hikari" I hugged her back, "I'm sorry I can't stay, Wendy and I have a lot of driving to do," I pulled back and gave her a small smile.
"Driving? Lucy are you sure you're okay?" she looked me over from head to toe for any clues as to why I was acting so weird.
"Yes, I'm fine," I reassured her.
"Okay, if you're sure... Wendy, your mom's here!" Hikari called. Wendy came bounding towards the door seconds later.
"Hey mama!" She beamed at me as she gave me a quick hug.
"Hey sweetie, you ready?" I ruffled her hair.
"Yeah," she smiled and turned towards Hikari, "Bye Aunt Hikari!" she gave the woman a hug and we went to the waiting car. I put a sick patch on Wendy and then we got in the car.
I sighed once more, We had four hours of driving ahead of us, this was going to be a long night.
A/N DOWN WITH SIEGRAIN! *A roaring cheer comes from the audience*
