Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail =(
Summary: Lucy Heartiflia, young and beautiful, but very shy and kind. Everyone including her friends believes she is one of the nicest girls they ever met, so why do they also feel like there is something odd about her? She blames it on her clumsiness, but is that really why she comes to school every day with new or worse cuts and bruises than before? Can this dense pink haired boy be able to save her from the secret she hides?*Rated T for mild language and action* *all my teen characters are 16, but Wendy is 13* *Oh and some people asked me this and yes it's AU and kinda OOC.*
Well here goes chapter TEN FINALLY! Enjoy!
Chapter 10
(Lucy P.O.V)
It's been a good two months since all that drama, and everything is the same except that . . . . my birthday is tomorrow. It's about one of the worst days of the year for me. The day father gives me a special 'gift'. This is basically a 'special' punishment. Last year it was being tied to a chair only in my bra and underwear and being whipped with a belt till he was tired. I guess it's because I get to see a new year while mom doesn't. *sigh* I'm just soooo excited. (Sarcasm intended)
As Levy and I walk to school we see the rest of the gang at the gate waiting for us except for Natsu.
(Wendy P.O.V)
I'm so excited! Lucy-San's birthday is tomorrow! When I left the house Natsu-nii said he would be there later so I guess he is going to get her a super pretty gift! We always celebrate her birthday the day before because on the day of she is never around. It's like she disappears. We all agreed that her dad most likely takes her out on trips for it but I'm still suspicious about that since when she comes back to school she never likes to talk about.
I bought her a pink bow for her hair. I think it will make her even prettier! I know Romeo-Kun got her a pair of silver butterfly earrings since we went shopping together for her present. When her and Levy-chan were close enough to us I ran to her. "Happy Birthday Lucy-San!" I yelled to her as I pounced on to her. She lost her footing and we both fell to the ground. I could tell she wasn't expecting that by her widened eyes that quickly went back to her usual kind ones. She put me on her lap as she went onto sitting position on the sidewalk and started to giggle which I soon joined. " Thanks Wendy-Chan" she said through giggles. When she was helping me up I notice her wince as she moved. "Are you okay Lucy-San?" I asked as we walked back to the group who was waiting for us. "Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry." She told me taking my hand in her own as we got to the school's gates. "Wendy don't break Lucy on a special day." Erza-San said which was more like a demand. "g-gomenasai" I said with a small guilty smile. "You ok Lucy?" Gray-Kun asked. "Yeah I'm fine. She didn't do anything to me so don't make her feel guilty" she said defending me which made my day a little happier. "Well, Then happy birthday Lucy-Chan" Mira-Chan says. By now everyone was smiling at Lucy-San. "Thanks guys. Hey where's Natsu?"she asked. " Ash- For- Brains hasn't come yet so I guess he'll be here later." Gray-Kun said. "Princess, Don't worry about that idiot! Let me be your prince instead or better yet your birthday present." Loke-Kun said flirtatiously before taking Lucy-San's hand and laying a kiss on it. Every one rolled their eyes at his daily routine of flirting with Lucy-San while she had a light blush on her face. I noticed an irritated aura coming from behind Loke-Kun. I look to see Natsu-Nii with a creepy smile planted on his face as he glared at the back of Loke-Kun's head. He brought his hand up high and slapped the back of Loke-Kun's head so hard with it that the sound echoed.
"Oooowww! Damn it Natsu!" Loke-Kun screeched as he repeatedly rubbed his head. Natsu-Nii just shrugged and replied with a "Eh. Your own fault you stupid playboy". We all laughed as Loke glared at Natsu-Nii who glared back. One hit and menacing glare from Erza-San made them immediately stop and follow into the school. Once we got in I said my goodbyes and left for the middle school section with Romeo-Kun. I gave Lucy-San one last look to see her laughing with the rest of the group most likely about some joke. If I wasn't the one that made her wince in pain then who was?
(Lucy P.O.V)
The rest of the day went by quickly. Once the end of the day bell rang Lissana, Levy, Gajeel, and I (same last period class) were outside meeting at the gates with everyone else to walk home. "Hey Lucy-Chan since it's your birthday could we pwease do something spwecial for it" Levy asked with her puppy dog voice with Cana, Bisca, Mira, Lissana, and Wendy with puppy dog eyes in the back ground. I laughed nervously and looked towards the guys and Erza for help only to see them trying to not be involved and sweat dropping at the scene the girls of our little group was displaying. "Uum well Lucy it would be nice to celebrate since you haven't let us take you out in the last 5 years" Alzack said. He is right but if I'm not home right after school well you should know what will happen.I guess it is worth the risk cause fairy tail saved me from taking my own life. They gave me something to live for. I owe them. They have supported and been there for me even though I still lie to them and I have a feeling they know I'm hiding something from them. And Natsu, he taught me to always keep hope and faith. He not only taught it but gave me hope and faith that there is always a bright side, a new day. A reason to live which for me was them.
"Fine, but it can't be long. Dad is most likely waiting for me." I replied receiving a big amount cheers. "I'm glad you said that because the girls already made reservations at this café." Natsu said. I stood there in utter shock for a moment. They knew I would go either I wanted to go or not! "WHAT!" I practically shouted earning curious looks from other students near the gates. I'm not really the one to lose my cool. The girls quickly sent him furious glare that literally screamed out the words 'WHY THE FRICK WOULD YOU TELL HER THAT!' while the guys just muttered comments around the lines of 'dumb ass' and 'idiot'. Natsu looked scared. "O-oops, was i-I not s-supposed to t-t-tell her that?" He stuttered before he ran and hid behind me. They all sighed basically because of annoyance the pinkette caused.
Mirajane was the first to go back to her happy calm self. "Well either way you said yes so let's go" she says before grabbing me and literally dragging me to the café leaving everyone else to catch up. As she yanked on my left arms which was still sore from the cigarette burns and kicks from my father's boots I couldn't help but yelp in pain. She quickly let go of my hand was about to roll up my sleeve till I pulled away. Her expression was shock, worry, and guilt. "I-I'm fine you j-just pulled a little too hard." I said trying to not stutter but failing miserably. She raised an eyebrow. "Really? You sure you're okay now?" Mira asked me. I just nodded and walked into the café thanking the Lord that everyone else wasn't around.
A few minutes later everyone was at the café and sitting down talking with each other. I was sitting next to Levy and Natsu. During the evening we laughed, joked, ate, they even surprised me with gifts. For once I felt normal. Like I had nothing to hide. Even if it was only for a good hour it was a great feeling. The only weird thing to me was that natsu didn't talk to me or get me a gift. He just sat a table looking like he was deep in thought which he most likely was since he actually ignored Gajeel and Gray's insults towards him. He was just silent . . . . and it scared me. It was about 5 so we decided to go home. I was about to walk home with Levy when Natsu suddenly took hold of her wrist and whispered something into her ear . She eyes widened and then she giggled. My heart sank into my stomach and I became mad all of a sudden. Was this jealousy? Just the thought made my cheeks flush. There is no way I'm jealous, why should I be? They are both my best friends and I'll support them all the way. No reason for me to be upset right? RIGHT?
(Levy P.O.V)
I was about to walk home with Lu-Chan till someone grabbed my wrist. I turn to see Natsu. He came close to my ear and whispered "Hey Levy, do you mind if I walk Lucy home just this once?". My eyes widened. I'm surprised he was finally trying to get closer to Lu-Chan. By his pink embarrassed face I had to giggle. "Sure, but don't try anything suspicious" I whispered back. His signature grin was planted on his face now and seemed to be growing by the second. "Thanks Levy! I owe you!" He said before he left going towards Lu-Chan. I have to tell everyone about this later! Good Luck Natsu!
(Lucy P.O.V)
Are they still with each other! I sighed. I should just leave. As I was walking i heard somebody call my name. I turn to see Natsu running towards me. When he finally reaches me he has a grin on. "Hey Lucy uum Levy had to um go do something so she asked me to walk you. I-if that's okay with you" He said with a light tint of pink forming on his face. I felt heat rise to my own cheeks. "W-well o-ok. We should go then" I replied. "yeah" he said with a grin before taking my right hand in his and starting to lead the way towards my house.
