Hey friends! Hope that you'll enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own fairytail I just write fanfictions.
Kara had slowly began to open her eyes as she felt a sharp pain coming from her stomach. 'Where am I...?' She thought to herself.
Kara slowly started to sit up and looked around the room "guess I'm in the nurses office.." She said quietly to herself.
A woman with long dark hair entered the room and smiled "glad to see your awake. My name is Ultear, I'm the school nurse. If your feeling better you can go home whenever you feel up to it but make sure to take it easy."
Kara blinked a few times and stared at the woman before getting up and slowly grabbing her bag so she could leave. 'I feel like I've seen her before...' She thought to herself.
School had been out for a while and the only thing going on now we're sport activities and club activities.
Kara took her phone out and saw that she had a few texts from Laxus, after remembering the meeting with his father she couldn't bring herself to look at them. Instead she had called Liza and explained what had happened during gym and asked if she could come pick her up.
After a few minutes Liza pulled up in her car and the blonde slowly made her way over.
"When we get home you are going to show me how bad it is and I am going to be calling the principle about this." Liza said in a stern tone. Usually Liza remained calm and cool during these type of situations.
"Okay.." Kara said quietly. As much as she didn't want to the only thing on her mind was Laxus.
Once they were home Liza demanded to see weather or not there was a mark or anything left on Kara's body.
Kara was pretty sure there was a bruise of some sort since it hurt so bad. She pulled up her shirt and there was a purple and black bruise. It covered a good portion of her stomach.
The sound of a knock on the door made the blonde jump. As Liza went to the door she told Kara to go up stairs to take her shirt off so she could examine it better.
Liza opened the door and there stood Laxus. He had a bandage around his head and looked like hell.
"Um is Kara home..? I went to the coffee shop and the kid said that she didn't come in today.." He said quietly.
Liza looked Laxus over and then nodded. "Yes. She's up stairs of you want to visit for a bit." Liza's voice was still stern but her face was more friendly now.
Laxus went up the stairs and opened the door to see Kara standing there in her bra and a pair of spandex shorts. He probably would have cared more but his eyes were focused on the bruise that was on her pale skin.
Kara's face turned a bright red as she covered herself. "L-Laxus.. What are you doing here?!"
Without saying anything Laxus turned and went down the stairs and opened the front door. He didn't understand why that made him so angry.
Kara quickly put a hoodie on and a pair of shoes then quickly went after Laxus.
Kara glanced down the streets for him. "Laxus!" She yelled out to him but he didn't stop. She then ran towards him and grabbed his arm. "Wait!" She said loudly.
He stopped but didn't look at her. He wanted to pull his arm away from her but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Kara held onto his arm and looked up at him "why are you mad..?" She asked softly.
Laxus held his breath as he listened to her. He didn't answer for a few moments. After letting out a sigh he finally answered. "Well you never answered your phone and since Gramps got me out of the hospital I texted you to let you know but when you didn't answer me after a while I got worried.." He said in a low voice. He then looked at her "but then when I saw that bruise on you I lost it..." He said.
Kara stayed silent as he spoke and listened to him carefully. She felt butterflies in her stomach as she stared at his face.
Laxus gently shrugged her off of him and then looked at her but didn't say anything.
Kara cleared her throat and looked at the ground "I'm sorry that I worried you.. I um.."
Laxus cut her off by putting his hand on her head "I know my dad talked to you. The nurse told me that a man took you to a car.." He said in a low tone.
Kara nodded and kept looking at the ground "yeah.. He told me to stay away from you or he'd.." She stopped mid-sentence as she remembered the whole thing.
Laxus took his hand off her head and grabbed her wrist and took her back to her house "don't worry about him." He said in his usual tone.
Hearing that lifted her spirits. She let him take her back to the house and smiled at him. 'Thank you Laxus..' She thought to herself.
The Next Day.
Laxus had stayed for dinner last night but left right after. Liza had calmed down and chose to take Kara out of school for the day.
Kara had woken up to the sound of her phone vibrating. She squinted and looked over to the window to see the sunlight coming in through the crack in the curtains.
After the phone vibrated again she grabbed her phone and saw she had a message from Lucy.
Lucy: hey Kara! Just wanted to make sure you were okay after yesterday. I noticed you weren't at school today so it kinda worried me.
Lucy: by the way I gave the whole gang your number! (;
Kara sat up but slightly winced from the pain in her stomach. "The whole gang..?" She said quietly.
She looked at the time and it was only 8:50 am. Letting out a small yawn she made her way out of bed and texted Lucy back.
Kara: I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. Um who is the 'whole gang'?
Not even a second later her phone vibrated again.
Lucy:that's good to hear! And you know! Natsu, Gray, Levy, Erza, Jellal, Gajeel, Juvia and a couple others! Gotta get going now! Class in starting :(
Kara thought of how she would be in class sitting next to Laxus. Her thoughts then drifted to when she first met him. After a second her thoughts were interrupted by the soreness of the bruise on her stomach.
Letting out a sign she put her phone back on her bedside table and slowly got up.
"Today is going to be a long slow day.. Guess this gives me a chance to study and get a bit ahead.." she said quietly to herself.
At school
Laxus had arrived on time although he knew that Kara wouldn't be coming today. It had become somewhat of a habit for him now. It earned him many glances and even more stares.
"Yooooo!" Bickslow called out to him and waved him over to where him, Freed and Evergreen were.
Laxus sighed and went over to the small group. "What?" He asked.
"Woah man just wanted to see how you're doin. We haven't seen much of ya since that girl came around ya know?" Bickslow had his usual hyped voice but you could tell there was a bit of sourness to it.
"We are worried Laxus. It isn't like you to be acting this way." Ever said as she moved closer to him.
"All I'm doing is getting my grades up so I can get my car back." Laxus barked out at them. "Ain't nothin more. Ain't nothing less. She don't mean anything to me." And with that Laxus stormed off into the building, the three followed after him.
A few feet away Lucy had been there with her phone out recording the whole thing. As she closed the phone she let out an annoyed huff. "I knew he was only using her..." she said angrily.
At the house
Kara was sitting on the couch when she felt her phone vibrate. "A video? That's odd." She said as she opened her phone to watch it.
As she watched the phone and heard what Laxus had said she felt her heart sink into her stomach. "Well... I was only helping him until he could get his car back.. I don't know why I'm so surprised."
Putting the phone down she just stared blankly at the wall.
'Why does it hurt.. ah guess I shouldn't play dumb anymore.. it wouldn't hurt if I didn't like him..' her thoughts were interrupted when her phone vibrated again.
Lucy: sorry you had to find out this way girl! I'll bring you lots of sweets when you come back to school!
Shortly after finishing reading this another text came in
Laxus:Kara I know that the video seems bad but it's not what it sounded like. I'll come by later.
Kara put her phone down and tried to act like she hadn't seen his text. 'We'll just ignore him..' she thought to herself.
"Maybe I should take a nap..." she said aloud to herself.
To be continued...
