Well, golly. Thank you guys so much for reading and following! And the reviews are great! I do not own Fairy Tail!

Animeflower107- I know, it hurt just to write that part, but it does have a purpose later. Thank you so much for thinking it was cute, I really tried to capture their connection in the dance.

SleepinBeautyK- Yeah, kinda sucks.

Guest – Thanks? I will be sure to work on that stuff.

Valerioux – I kind of threw that at you, didn't I?

Natsu woke up in a stiff, warm bed. He stirred, tossing his head back and forth, his head was pounding so bad he wanted to go back to sleep. "Sir, you should not move too much." A soft voice came to his mind, Natsu opened his eyes but all he saw a bright white.

The pink-haired teen groaned, putting his hands over both eyes, "Where am I?" his voice was very horse, he couldn't remember what happened.

"You are at Magnolia Hospital Mr. Dragneel. You were in a car accident." The nurse, he assumed, pulled the blanket up to his chin; he still hasn't opened his eyes. Then, he remembers everything that happened, driving Lucy home but they got t-boned by another car.

Lucy.

Natsu snapped up from his bed, head still pounding, "Where's Lucy?" the nurse he could see now, was trying to push him back down to rest but he was pushing her back. "Where is she?" he stared in her eyes, waiting for an answer.

The nurse looked confused, "Mr. Dragneel, I don't know who that is. You do have visitors waiting to see you, are you alright to see them?" he really needed to know is Lucy was okay, hopefully whoever wanted to see him knew something. He nodded slowly because his head hurt, his hand reached his head and noticed it was wrapped up.

The nurse walked out and about 2 minutes later, Natsu's dad walked in, looking so concerned. He looked tired, how long has he been here? His father ran to his left side of the bed and sat down on the bed, "What the hell happened?" he asked gently.

Natsu scooted back to sit against the wall, laying his hands in his lap, "I don't even know, I was taking Lucy home at one something. Then we got hit form the side, from Lucy's side." He whispered, Igneel's eyebrows frowned.

"Lucy?" he questioned as Natsu leaned his head to the wall behind him, looking at the opposite wall.

"Yeah, I don't know if she's okay." He just wanted to jump up and go find her, but he didn't think he could walk straight.

His dad massaged his leg next to him, "Natsu, Lucy's down the hall. I saw her being rolled in right after you, I got a call for you and saw her as well. I asked if they called her parents, and they did call her dad."

Natsu's eyes widened, he kicked the blanket off his legs, Igneel pushed him back down to the bed. "No, Natsu! You can see her when your head is healed." He shouted, keeping his hands on his shoulders. Natsu was still struggling when he groaned and threw his head on his pillow.

"Fine, I'll see her tomorrow." He grumbled under his breath, crossing his arms. Igneel just sighed and sat in the chair next to the bed, he was going to stay here until he got better.

Three hours later, Cana came running through the doorway of Natsu's room while he and his father flipping through channels on the crappy T.V. the brunette was crying, it confused Natsu so much, Cana hardly ever cried.

"Cana what's wrong?" Natsu set down the remote to sit up better. The girl kneeled by his bed and kept crying on his bed. "Cana, you're kind of scaring me." He gingerly touched her arm.

"It's all my fault! I'm so sorry!" she sobbed out, Natsu was still confused and turned his head towards his dad. The red-haired man shrugged and shook his head.

Natsu started off slowly, "Cana, what are you talking about?" her sobbed slowed down to sniffles Levy and Gajeel came through the door right after he asked her. "Oh, hey guys." He smiled but still looked concerned to Cana.

"Hey, Natsu. How are you feeling?" Levy stood at the end of his bed, Gajeel stood behind her with his arms crossed but soft eyes.

"I'm good. I'm just worried about Cana here." He pointed his thumb to the girl standing by his bed. Gajeel laughed lowly, Natsu looked up at him, "What the hell is so funny metalhead?" Levy walked over to Cana to make sure she was okay.

"Have you looked in the mirror flamebrain?" he was still chuckling under his breath. Natsu shook his head no, slowly, it still hurt. "You look like you got beat up, badly. You are bruised all around you." He pointed to his pink-haired friend's body.

"Yeah, that kind of happens when you get in a car crash." Natsu held a smug look as he crossed his arms. To his left he heard Cana crack a sob, Levy rubbed her back. Natsu looked over to the girls with an eyebrow raised.

Cana walked over to Natsu again, "I am so sorry." He told him again.

"Cana can you please tell me why you're sorry." Natsu slowly asked her.

She breathed lowly and closed her eyes, "I told the guy I was talking to, to come to Fairy Tail yesterday. I guess he got really wasted before he drove over. He umm," she paused while Levy already put the information together and gasped, covering her mouth, "He was the one who hit you guys." She finished.

Natsu sighed "It's not your fault Cana. I don't blame you." He smiled to her.

Cana smiled at him as well, "Thanks Natsu."

Levy touched Natsu's foot and he glanced to the small girl, "I saw Lucy before we came to see you, but she wasn't awake." Natsu's eyes lit up, and he jumped forward in his bed.

"Is she okay? Did she look okay?" he quickly asked her.

Levy pouted and looked away form him, "She looked," the blue-haired girl paused but Gajeel took over for her, "Bunny girl looked worse than you do. Her whole right arm looked black and blue and her face was bruised and cut up."

Natsu was angry, what the hell, why was he still here and she's by herself! The pink-haired man tried again to get up for what felt like the 30th time. Igneel stood up to make him sit back down, "Natsu stop! You need to rest!" he yelled at him.

Natsu stopped because his dad doesn't yell at him often, he groaned into his pillow. He wanted to see Lucy but that wasn't happening today unless he got some sleep. In 30 seconds, Natsu was asleep.

"What the hell! He's asleep!" Gajeel yelled. Levy smacked him on the chest.

"Let him sleep, he hit his head in the accident." Levy explained to him and the brute man just huffed and walked out of the room, "I guess we were leaving now. Bye!" the small girl waved to the crimson-haired man who nodded his head to her.

The next day Natsu was getting dressed, he was dismissed from the hospital and his dad was waiting in the next room. Natsu couldn't wait until he saw Lucy, he has been waiting all day to see her and when he was done he was going to see how she was.

"Get a move on boy!" Natsu heard from the other side of the door.

"I'm working on it old man!" he screamed while pulling his pants up. Walking out he punched his dad in the arm and the old man knocked him on the head. "Hey! That still hurts!" His head wasn't pounding anymore but it was like he had a headache.

"Let's go see Lucy!" Natsu declared pointing to the door and stomping down the hall. His father shook his head behind him with a small smile on his face.

When they made it to the door with Lucy Heartfillia on the side of the door, the door was open, but no one was on the bed. A nurse was standing, folding a blanket and fluffing a pillow.

Natsu looked around the room, searching for his friend, but couldn't find her. "Um, excuse me," he hesitated towards the nurse, she turned to him, "Where is Lucy?" she looked confused like she didn't know who that was. Igneel stepped beside his son and putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Uh, the girl that was in this room yesterday." He clarified.

"Oh, she was taking home by her father, we told him that she wasn't healed yet, but he didn't listen and took her home at 5 this morning." She smiled towards the two and walked out of the room.

Natsu's eyes widened, his father looked at him in question, "Oh this is bad. We need to find her and bring her back."

A day before

Lucy turned to her right side but immediately regretted it when a sharp pain flashed through her whole arm. She hissed and grabbed her right arm but that didn't feel any better. The blonde opened her eyes to the bright white room, her left hand came up to her eyes.

The room itself was empty, only one chair in the corner and a bathroom to her right. She didn't have a nurse or any family there with her, she wondered if Natsu was okay, but she didn't know if she could get up at all. She glanced at her arm and saw the top part of her shoulder was black and blue, the rest of her arm had cuts and scrapes.

She sat up on the bed and looked down to her legs and scoffed at her bruises and cuts. Her whole left side hurt. A nurse had let herself in Lucy's room and saw that the girl was awake, "Oh, I didn't know you were awake yet. How are you feeling?" the kind nurse asked while writing something on the board at the end of her bed.

"Uh, my arm really hurts." Lucy's voice was very gruff, she coughed as the nurse got her a cup of water. "Thank you." The blonde whispered and set the cup down.

"I can get you more pain medication, it may take awhile since it is 1 in the morning. Get some rest Ms. Heartfillia." The nurse was almost out of the room and Lucy looked out the window to see that it was very dark out. "Oh, we called your father, but he didn't answer. We'll keep trying."

Lucy's brown eyes darted towards the door, but the nurse was gone. She was about to shout out, but she started coughing really bad. She needed to get out of here, she looked around at the IV needles in her arm, pulling them out and the heart monitor on her finger.

The monitor started going off, flashing numbers and beeping loudly. She was standing up and fell, being stuck around the blanket. Lucy landed on her right arm, sucking air through her teeth and groaning. "Fuck." She whisper-yelled.

Down the hall Igneel was woken up but yelling at running from the open door, he glanced at Natsu, but he was fast asleep. The red-haired man looked out the door and saw nurses running to some room down the hall. He just shrugged and laid back down in the chair.

Many nurses ran into her room and one doctor ran in after them, getting her up to her bed again but Lucy didn't want to stay there. She started struggling against the nurses, kicking her feet on the bed. "No, I have to leave! I can't stay here!" she was screaming at the top of her lungs.

One nurse had but more morphine into her IV and slowly the girl stopped screaming and closed her wide eyes.

Lucy had woken up lolling her head on the pillow, she groaned but didn't want to open her eyes. She didn't want to stay here for her father to show up and pull her away.

"That is not lady like, Lucy." A demanding voice sounded from her left, this time her eyes snapped open to find her father standing and staring at her with his piercing stare. "Did you really think I would come to see my daughter when she's in trouble?" he asked as he crossed his arms.

"No, I thought you would be here." Her quiet voice was so unlike her but near him, it was usual.

"Yes, I thought so. Well, we are leaving soon. I guess this rinky-dink hospital is good enough to inform me that you were here." His lip was turned in a sneer as he looked around room she was in.

"I'm not leaving!" Lucy shouted, clenching the blanket but her fathers open hand came across her face.

"You, young lady will not talk to me like that." Jude's eyes narrowed to her, pointing her finger in her turned face. Lucy's eyes filled with tears, but she tried hard for them not fall.

"But what about school? I have performances to do!" she asked, hesitantly but didn't want to leave her new friends.

Her father shifted his suit and put his hands in his pockets, looking out the window, "Yes. I have been informed of your 'singing' there would be no more of that. You will come home with me and be homeschool from now on."

Lucy gasped but stood up from the bed, "No, father. I don't want to leave my friends!"

Her father chuckled at that, "You have friends?" he mocked his daughter. Lucy's eyes widened but didn't say anything but sit back down on her bed.

A nurse had walked into the room to check on Lucy, "How are you feeling Ms. Heartfillia?" She asked while looking at her chart.

Lucy glanced at her father before she spoke, and the man nodded his head, seemingly letting her talk, "My shoulder is feeling better, but it is still hurting." She grabbed her right arm feeling the stinging in her shoulder blade.

The nurse smiled softly at the girl, "Oh that's okay. We were planning on putting your whole arm in a sling." She commented but Jude Heartfillia was not having any of it.

"No, that will not be necessary. We are leaving right now anyway." The tall blonde man grabbed Lucy's left arm to pull her up from the bed.

"Sir I don't think that's a good ide-"

"I do not believe that I asked you. She is coming home with me." Lucy's father abruptly voiced, cutting off the kind nurse. Lucy didn't dare speak against her father, she knew what would happen when she did.

Jude pushed Lucy forward after the nurse left the room. "You won't come back to this place again." He sharply told her as the walked out of the hospital. Lucy still didn't know if Natsu was okay, she wished she got away earlier.

When Lucy walked out and saw the limo outside she knew that this was over, her runaway was all for nothing, she was going back to her abusive father she was trying to get away from.

How was she going to get out of this again?

Thank you everyone for reading and reviewing! Till next time.
