Hello readers! I hope that you all are doing well:)Just a little FYI, this chapter kinda sucks (lol oops) and I apologize. Like I swear this story gets so much better like really, but I wrote all of this months ago and lets just say that my writing is A LOT better now, therefore future chapters are better. I also have like no motivation to write this story anymore, but at the same time I do? Like I gave written 29 chapter so far, and it's so much fun. But the chapters right now suck and I'm just like ugh no one is reading this. But oh well, I'll probably still upload chapters anyway lol.

I hope that you all enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 10

I woke up feeling warmer than I have ever felt in my whole life. The sun glared into my eyes from the open window, causing me to stir. I opened my eyes and the first thing I noticed was the pair of arms that were around my body. I already knew whose they were, and I blushed at the thought. I turned my head slightly, and saw his pink hair glowing in the light.

We were laying with my back up against his stomach, and his arms around my body, holding me close. It's not like that this is the first time that I have slept over at his house, or even in his bed. But this is the closest that I have woken up to him, but then again, he usually wakes up first, so maybe it isn't. Now that I think about it, he always wakes up before me, and it's strange to see his still sleeping state.

So I carefully turned my body around, so that I could face him, but careful so that I didn't wake him. Once I turned, I could feel and hear his soft breathing. His face was calm, and rested. I just looked, and admired at his features. I've never really noticed before, but he does have a very

good looking face, and I took this moment to be able to study his face.

His strong features, his sharp jawline, and his skin, and how it glowed in the morning sun. I couldn't see his eyes, put I could picture the dark amber color of his eyes. I looked at his slightly parted lips, and the way his chest slowly rose and fell. I saw the way his hair feel effortlessly on his features, and the sun shining over him like a blanket.

The sun started to rise, so the sun hit his face in a way that make it shine. If it was possible, it even made his face look more handsome. Before I could even think, I reached my hand out softly and I touched his face. I softly slid my hand from his forehead down to his chin. Going past his eyes, nose, and stopping slightly at his lips before finally getting to his chin. Like the rest of him, his face was unusually warm, but not as warm as the rest of his body.

When I was caressing his delicate features, he started to stir, and my eyes widened in fear. Before he opened his eyes, I closed mine,and tried to make pretend that I was still asleep. I had to put my head down, and it happened to be very close to his body, practically touching.I heard him wake up, and start to slowly stretch his arms. Then he stopped moving, and the room was in silence, and he reached out to something.

I felt him warmly put his hand on my hair, tracing circles on the back of my head. He carefully pulled his hands around my face, and seemed as though he was studying the aspects of my face. He did this for what was probably a few moments, I don't know how long, I was too focused on trying to pretend that I was asleep to focus on the time.

"Luce." He whispered, putting his mouth closer to my ear. "Hey, Luce." He said, shoving my arm a little, motioning me to wake up.

"Mhm" I groaned softly, not opening my eyes yet. "Natsu?" I asked softly, still in a daze.

"It's time to wake up."

I slowly began to open my eyes, and what I saw in from of me make my mouth open slightly in awe.

I was laying down now on my side, looking up at natsu who sat up, the sun behind him, making it look like he was glowing. His hair was messy from sleeping, his clothes were wrinkled and messy, but it was the most beautiful sight to wake up to.

"Good morning, Luce." he said in a cheerful morning tone, but I could tell that he was still tired from just waking up.

"Morning ." I said, starting to get up slowly. "What time is it?"
"Only a little after 10." I think he said, but I wasn't really listening, so I just nodded my head in response.

I moved a little and sat at the end of the bed, stretching my arms. I looked behind me to see Natsu Looking at me, and then quickly looking away.

We both just sat up for a few minutes,stretching and trying to wake ourselves up, but I was already pretty awake to start with. But we said more good mornings to each other, and he began talking about his dream that had something to do with dragons, but I wasn't really listening to him, I was too busy looking. "Wanna go down and have breakfast?" He asked

"Yeah, but I'm just going to get dressed." I noticed that I was still in my costume, which was not the most comfortable thing to sleep in. "I need some of the extra cloths I keep here."

"Right." He said, and then walked over to one of his smaller drawers and opened it. "They are here."

I went over to the drawer, and I first noticed how neat it kept it. I've slept over here before, and I do it so often that it's just easier to keep extra clothes here. But I have seen his other drawers in which he keeps his clothes, and they are nowhere near as neat as this. I never really noticed until now, but I appreciate it.

"I'll be down in a minute, I'm going to go get dressed." I said and then walked into the bathroom. As I walked into the bathroom I started to feel something. My head started to hurt. No, it was like it was pounding.

It just came out of nowhere. One second I was fine, and then the next my head felt like someone was throwing bricks at it. I just stood against the counter, and splashed some cold water on my face, which helped only slightly with the pain.

I knew that I was spending a while in the bathroom, and before Natsu came up to check on me I slowly made my way to the kitchen.

"You okay, Lucy?" Natsu asked as I walked into the kitchen, concern on his face.

"Yeah, I just have a bad headache, that's all."

He walked up to me slowly. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah." I said. "But, Natsu, I think i'm just going to head home."
"Oh,um yeah, okay. I'll drive you."
"Oh, it's alright. I live only few minutes away.I'll be fine."
"But it's no problem-"

"I can walk." I cut him off.

He looked shocked. "Fine, okay. Just text me, please."

I nodded, grabbed my bag and I was out the door. I know that he was only trying to help, but I just really needed to get home.

The walk back home was nothing but a blur, as I don't even really remember walking home. But as I was walking into my house, I was so focused on getting in, that I didn't even notice the car parked in the driveway.

Everything around me was blurred, and as soon as I closed the front door behind me I practically ran into my room. Running to my room, I only had one thought in my head. I had to get it.

As I got into my room, I rummage through my drawers, trying to think about where I put it.

I know that it's somewhere. But where? Where is it!

Finally, I found the little bag that was in my bathroom, the one that Cana gave me, and quickly opened it. Seeing the whiteness of it gave me a sense of calmness, but I didn't spend so much time looking at it.

I put some of it in my mouth I took it, then rubbed my nose once I was done. I sat on my bathroom floor for I don't know how long, it could have been minutes, I it could have been hours, I couldn't keep track of time. I couldn't keep track of anything.

The sound of pounding footsteps snapped me out of my daze, and my eyes widened in horror. I walked over to the window in my room, and saw that my father's car was there. I guess I just didn't notice it was there when I was running in. So I quickly cleaned up my room, and tried to make it seem as orderly as possible.

As I was tidying up my to, I heard a booming voice call my name from downstairs. I stopped cleaning, and then quickly went down the stairs to the living room.

As I was going down, I took a quick look around the house. All the bottles that were once there were gone because I cleaned them up one day after school so that the house didn't look like a landfill. The house still had a scent of alcohol, but because I was lighting candles, it wasn't as strong as it once was.

I also saw that my father was standing tall in the living room, in his work suit. He probably got home from work earlier, it he's about to leave for it.

"Lucy." He greeted me in a cold tone.

"Father." I said back emotionless.

"I took notice that you were not at the house last night or this morning." He was here last night? And this morning? That's not usual. And besides, why would he care if I was here or not?

"Um, yes, I was not here." Is stumbled, his statement catching me off guard.

"Why was that? Where were you?"

"Why are you asking?" I dared ask.

"Answer my questions!" He demanded.

"I was out with some of my friends from school." I said shakily, but trying my best to hide it.

"Doing what?"

"My school was holding a Halloween event, so we decided to go."

For a moment it looked like he was thinking about what I was saying, and then continued to interrogate me.

"Then where were you after this so called event? And where were you this morning?"

I hesitated before answering the questions, thinking about how to answer without getting him too upset.

"I was over at a friends house. I slept over there."

"Did you now? Why was that? Why couldn't you just come home?"

I started getting annoyed at all the questions he was asking, and couldn't hold back my temper. "Why do you care? It's not like your ever-"

"Do not speak to me with that tone!" He yelled, causing me to step back In fear. "I called you down here so I could tell you something."

I nodded my head, too afraid to say anything. He continued to talk. "I am going to be gone for a few weeks because of work, and if all goes well, I need you to be on your best behavior."

I nodded once again.

"Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone. I will find out if you have." He said in a threatening way. "And I don't like these friends that you hang out with. They aren't good for you." And with that, he walked out the door, and into his car. And I stood in my living room, totally confused as to what just happened.

I haven't even had a solid conversation with him in months, and this is all I get. Not even a hello from him, just being his usual cold and distance self.

My head started to spin with emotion, and I couldn't keep all my emotions I order. I ran upstairs, and slammed the door behind me, Even Though no one was home. I was going to do something, take a shower, go to sleep, something, but o saw my phone light up. I picked it up and saw that I had multiple missed calls from Natsu and he has texted me several times. Before I could even unlock my phone, he called me again, and I picked up.

"Natsu-"

"Luce!" He said in a nervous voice. "Are you okay? I told you to call me once you got home! I thought something happened to you. It's been over an hour and-"

"Natsu!" I stopped him. "I'm fine, okay." I said, my voice still a little shaky.

"Are you sure? You don't sound okay?"

"Look, I'm fine. I'm just going to get some sleep."

"Maybe you should come back over to my place, just to make sure that you're okay-"

"I'm fine, Natsu. I'll call you if I get worse, okay?"

"Okay, okay. You need your privacy, I get it." He sighed. "But just call me if you need anything."

"Thank you, Natsu." And I could hear him smiling from the other line. We said our goodbyes, and we hung up.

I was just going to go sleep, but I came up with a better idea to get my mind off things. So I dialed a number on my phone, and I knew that the person caking would pick up.

"Hey, Cana? Can I come over? I need to have some fun tonight."

Cana didn't even have a need for me to explain, she just let me come right over to her place. When I got over I thought that she might have wanted some kind explanation, but she didn't ask. She just seemed happy that I was there. As always, I was happy to see her too.

We just talked a little about what's been going on in my life. For some reason she is always interested in what my school life is. Maybe it's because she doesn't see that side of my. So she always wants me to tell her stories about what is going on in my life.

I told her about the Halloween event at my school the night before, and she laughed when I told her about the hayride.

"He made you stay in his room with you?" she laughed.

"Yeah. he's not good with scary things."
"What costume were you wearing? Something sexy?"

"No!" I blushed.

"It was!I bet the boys loved that."
"Cana!"
"And the girls." she added. "Anyway, how's that one boy doing?"
"What boy?"
"The one you always talk about. The one with the weird color hair?"
"Natsu?"

"Yes! How's he doing?" she winked at me.

"He's fine, I guess."

Cana sighed. "Fine, don't give me any details. So, onto another subject. What do you want to do tonight."
Now this was a subject I could talk about. "Something fun."
"Fun?" she asked. "Oh, I can do fun." she smirked, and then pulled at her phone and dialed some number. "Go tell Bacchus to get the van ready."
