Chapter 14.
"Lucy nee-san look, I drew us" Wendy said holding up her picture to Lucy.
A yellow blob, some squiggly lines, a blue blob, and what looked like a pig.
"What's the pig?" Lucy asked.
"That's Natsu nii-san" Wendy said.
Lucy took a better look at the picture.
"He's too short" she said handing it back to her.
"Could I hang it up somewhere?! Please!" Wendy asked.
"Whatever" she answered.
Wendy cheered and ran out of Lucy's room. Lucy turned on her bed, it was the weekend and here she was just laying on her bed... doing absolutely nothing. It's not like there wasn't anything she could do, it's just she really didn't want to do anything. The play date she had with Natsu replayed in her mind. He wanted to be her friend even after all her change, they all had. She didn't feel the same though, she kept remembering her Mother more because of them. Wendy had walked back into the room and laid on the bed with Lucy.
"Wendy, what was your Mother like?" Lucy asked.
Shit, wasn't she abused by her parents? Isn't that why she ran away?
"Fuck never min-"
"Mommy was pretty like Erza" Wendy said.
Lucy shut up.
"And she could cook like Supetto-oba. She was nice like Levy and she always let me touch her earrings like Gajeel!" Wendy said.
Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Your Mother had piercing's on her face?" she asked.
Wendy shook her head. "No she had them here" Wendy said touching her ears.
Lucy smiled. "But lately, I've beginning to think your most like my Mother Lucy" Wendy said and hugged her protector.
Lucy eyes widened a bit then she placed a hand on Wendy's head.
"We'll always be together right?" Wendy asked.
"We'll see. Your brother's going to be getting out of jail pretty soon" Lucy laughed.
Wendy didn't understand the joke but she giggled for her protector. If Lucy was there for her, Wendy wanted to make sure she would be there for her.
"Ms. Heartfilia I don't even know why you bother coming into my class if your going to leave anyway" Ms. Atsuki told his student.
"Aw you know you secretly enjoy how I get kicked out" Lucy smirked.
"Morning Luce, so how you getting out of this one?" Bora asked.
"I was thinking of shooting a spit ball right when he opens his mouth" Lucy said.
"A little childish don't you think?" Bora asked.
"Well I could always throw you instead" she smirked.
"Spitball sounds nice" Bora said.
Natsu watched their interaction. Sure he was friends with Lucy now and yeah he was going to aim higher then best friend and become boyfriend but he still didn't like Lucy and Bora together.
"But seriously how are you going to prank teach?" Bora asked.
"Just you wait" Lucy said.
She watch with a smirk on her face looking at the clock. It should happen anytime now in three, two, one. The classroom phone started ringing. Mr. Atsuki stopped his lesson and went to answer it.
"Hello... why yes I do own that type of car... What?! Hold on!" Atsuki said.
"I'll be right back, self study until I'm back" Mr. Atsuki said then ran out his classroom.
"You didn't" Bora said.
Lucy stood up and walked to Atsuki's desk. "I did but it's not how you think, I just had to make him leave the classroom" Lucy said digging into her pocket.
She pulled out a little mini drink and proceeded to pour it into Atsuki's coffee cup.
"Spiking the coffee huh?" Bora asked.
"Yup, let's see if he'll get laid off for coming to school drunk" Lucy said and laughed.
"That's only going to get him tipsy, I got something better" Bora told her.
"Nah, I heard he's a light weight. This should work just find" Lucy said throwing the bottle away.
She spun the cup around then placed it back on his desk exactly how it used to be. Lucy walked back to her seat with a satisfying smirk on her face and waited. A minute later Atsuki came running back into his room.
"I know that was you who tricked me Ms. Heartfilia! OUT!" he yelled.
Lucy looked up innocently at him. "What are you talking about? I don't even have the school's number" Lucy said.
Atsuki turned red.
"Alright, I can see when I'm not wanted" Lucy said. She bent down to Bora and whispered in his ear. "Record it for me" she whispered.
Bora laughed and nodded his head. Lucy only smiled when Mr. Atsuki drank his coffee as he tried to calm down.
"We should go drinking together sometimes Mr. Atsuki" Lucy told him.
"OUT!" he yelled.
Lucy and Wendy walked out of class and up to the roof top. Lucy could only imagine what was happen in Mr. Atsuki's class at this very moment.
"Hey Lucy" Natsu said walking up to her.
Lucy groaned and rolled over.
"I see you slept threw 2nd and homeroom" Natsu said laying next to her.
"Shut it" Lucy moaned.
Natsu looked around and saw Wendy curled up into a ball. He was kinda hoping Wendy would be awake so she could help him convince Lucy but seems not. Natsu was on his own.
"So I was thinking that maybe you should tell our friends about...you..." Natsu let the sentence die out as he saw the glare Lucy was sending him.
"No" Lucy said.
That one word said it all.
"But come on, you told me" Natsu said.
"I was under the influence" Lucy mumbled.
"Luce, were friends right?" Natsu asked.
"Do I have to answer?" Lucy asked back.
Natsu ignored it. "Friends hang out with other people's friends, especially if the friends, friends were old friends with the friend" Natsu said.
"That whole sentence didn't make sense. I don't want to tell them Natsu, you pinky swore" Lucy said.
"I know but, I just think you'll be a lot happier if you were with your friends rather than up here all by yourself everyday" Natsu said.
"I have Wendy everyday, plus Gajeel 1st and Jellal 4th" Lucy told him.
"You know what I mean" Natsu said but Lucy ignored him.
"I also have you on breaks" Lucy added.
Natsu's happiness spiked up when she said that. "Luce can I have a hug?" Natsu asked.
"No" Lucy said.
"I thought you said friends give friends hugs" Natsu said.
"Go hug Wendy I'll wake her up now" Lucy said.
"No! Never mind you ruined the moment. Lucy just think about it though, at lunch you know where we are" Natsu said.
"Whatever"
Juvia picked up the test and looked at the grade. A+ was written in a red marker. Juvia was so happy she could have cried. Lucy started noticing the paper shaking. What the fuck? she thought.
"If you don't mind me asking why can't you fail?" Lucy asked.
If Natsu hadn't told Juvia that she considered her a friend then Juvia would have ignored her.
"I'm on probation, I wasn't actually suppose to go to school here but they made an acceptation as long as I kept my grades up and obeyed the law" Juvia said.
Wow. Lucy's face said it all. She couldn't believe Juvia, on probation. Lucy wonder what she did? She knew that Juvia was part of Jellal's gang but for her to almost go to jail, Lucy would have thought of Gajeel before her. Lucy was curious but she wasn't going to press. This was enough info for one day, save the rest for another time.
"Alright class let's turn our textbooks to page 56"
"FUCK" Gajeel roared making the students past by him quiver in fear. All but a blond and a little girl.
"What's the problem metal face?" Lucy asked.
Gajeel glared at the girl.
"Hold on something's different" Lucy said studying his face.
Gajeel held up his piercing in one hand.
"Ah let me guess it fell out and you can't put it back in" Lucy asked.
Gajeel nodded.
"Give it" Lucy said snatching out his hand. She leaned towards Gajeel and tried to put the rod back though his nose where it belonged.
"I'm surprised they let you attend here with so many facial piercing's, isn't there a rule in the handbook or something?" Lucy asked.
Gajeel shrugged, he was to busy trying to focus on Lucy's hands to see if the piercing was in or not.
"Don't tell me you have Mr. Ryu? He would have a heart attack seeing your ass. He'd probably call in a council meeting to discuss all about you" Lucy said.
This time Gajeel smirked. He actually threw in a few chuckles.
"Nope, no Mr. Rulebook for me" he said.
"Let's walk by his classroom just for fun then" Lucy said.
"Maybe another time" Gajeel responded.
Levy was walking to the lunch area so she could have lunch with her friends when she saw a scene she would never forget. Levy hid behind a locker and peeked out again. Lucy was kissing Gajeel, LUCY was kissing GAJEEL! Levy felt tears stinging in her eyes. Didn't Lucy like Jellal? Why'd she have to go for her man? Levy ran away from the scene.
"Hey Levy, what's wrong?!" Lisanna yelled once she saw her tiny friend crying.
"Gajeel! He's such an idiot!" Levy cried.
Lisanna hugged her friend. "Tell me all about it" she said dragging Levy to there other friends.
"Alright it's in" Lucy said taking a step back.
"Yay! Piercy Gajeel!" Wendy cheered.
"I've never seen a kid smile at my piercing's" Gajeel said.
"Apparently her mother had piercing's and that's why she likes you so much" Lucy said back.
"Well I gotta go take a leak see yeah" Gajeel said walking out.
Lucy stood there for a few more seconds.
"I just think you'll be a lot happier if you were with your friends rather than up here all by yourself everyday"
"Wendy what do you think of spending lunch with Natsu's group today?" Lucy asked.
Wendy smiled at her. "Yeah" she said.
Lucy started making her way to the lunch area not knowing what was in store for her. She entered the clearing and saw Natsu's group immediately. They always sit in the middle of the area at the same table. Lucy didn't spot Natsu there yet though.
It would be kinda awkward if Lucy sat there without him but then again Juvia and Jellal was there. Taking a deep breath Lucy made her decision and walked up to the table only to be cut off half way. As soon as Lisanna spotted Lucy she stood up from her seat and walked over to her.
"What do you think your doing here?! Haven't you caused enough damage!" Lisanna yelled.
Lucy lifted an eyebrow at the girl. She turned and looked at Wendy.
"Ear muffs" Lucy said.
Wendy nodded and placed her hands over her ears.
"I told them to leave you alone! I repeatedly told them that you would hurt us but no they didn't listen! Your so fucking bipolar! First you ruin Erza and Jellal's relation then you save it, you saved Levy from harm and then you just brush her aside and now you've ruined her chance with Gajeel!" Lisanna yelled.
Erza stood up and grabbed Lisanna along with Jellal. What was happening? Lisanna brings a crying Levy to the table and before they could get any answers Lisanna starts yelling at Lucy.
"Why don't you just go back to your fucking drug addict friends, no one wants to see you here!" Lisanna yelled.
Lucy didn't understand half the things Lisanna yelled to her about. She knew one thing though, it was Levy that pushed Lisanna to yell at her. Lucy looked behind the screaming girl and saw Levy. Her eyes were slightly red and she looked away once their eyes made contact.
"Next time I suggest Levy to speak for herself" Lucy said before turning around.
"Earmuffs off Wendy, let's go" Lucy said.
Wendy obeyed and follow her Nee-san. Gajeel and Natsu had just entered the lunch area when they saw Lucy trying to leave. Natsu was surprised, had his speech really worked? Was she here to have lunch with them?
"Lucy!" Natsu said but she walked right passed them.
Natsu caught up and grabbed her wrist. "Lucy wait, didn't you come to have lunch with us?" Natsu asked.
Lucy glared at him. "I told you I wanted to stay away, I'm better off alone" Lucy said and walked off.
Natsu watched her leave then turned to his friends.
"What happened?" he asked.
"That bitch made a move on Gajeel!" Lisanna yelled.
Natsu's heart shrank, that couldn't be possible. First Jellal and now Gajeel? When was Lucy going to hit on him?
"What are you talking about?" Gajeel asked.
"Don't play dumb, Levy saw you and Lucy kissing earlier near your locker! I should yell at you too!" Lisanna yelled.
Natsu turned and stared at Gajeel.
"What?! Fuck no that would go against the bro's code" Gajeel said.
Natsu sighed in relief, Gajeel was a true friend.
"So what did Levy see then?!" Lisanna yelled.
Gajeel thought about earlier this lunch.
"Oh, my nose piercing fell out. Lucy helped me put it back in" Gajeel said.
Levy couldn't believe her ears. Lucy hadn't betrayed her, she didn't actual take Gajeel from her. Levy wiped her tears and laughed lightly. She should have confronted them about it before overreacting.
"Oh... so I just yelled at Lucy for nothing?" Lisanna asked.
"You yelled at her! Do you know how hard it was for me to convince her to finally have lunch with us?! She was finally going to try and be our friend but you just chased her away!" Natsu yelled at Lisanna.
Lisanna started to get defensive. "Well this wouldn't have happened if she would have never came in the first place!" Lisanna yelled back.
"Why do you hate Lucy so much?!" Natsu yelled.
"Why do you love her so much?!" Lisanna yelled.
They stared at each other until Erza came between them.
"Look this was all a misunderstanding, Lisanna didn't mean it perhaps if you told Lucy she would give us another chance" Erza told Natsu.
"Another chance? She doesn't like us to begin with Erza! You know how hard it is for her just to be around me?! No wonder she likes Jellal, Juvia and Gajeel better, because they didn't know her when she was younger!" Natsu yelled.
"What do you mean Natsu?" Erza asked.
It wasn't Natsu's place to tell and he's already given away to much info already. "Nothing, our one chance is gone, whatever" Natsu said and walked out the lunch area.
"Why doesn't he like me Erza?" Lisanna asked.
Erza hugged the girl. "He does Lis but Natsu just has too much on his shoulders right now. Don't mind him, but you know what you have to do right?" Erza asked.
Lisanna sighed and nodded. Erza's word was final.
"Hey why were you crying Pipsqueak?" Gajeel asked staring at Levy.
Levy only smiled at him.
"Because Gajeel, your an idiot"
"Lucy! I'm sorry about them it was all just a big misunderstanding" Natsu said.
"Whatever" Lucy said.
In all honesty she didn't really care. The only reason she came there was because Natsu asked her too. Now that they hated her she didn't have to face her past anymore.
"But Lucy you shouldn't have been welcomed back like that" Natsu said.
"Natsu forget about it" Lucy said. It's not like she was expecting a big welcome back sign.
"But Lucy Mmph" Natsu said.
Lucy had leaned up and pinched Natsu's lips with her fingers.
"Your starting to annoy me. In case you didn't know when I say whatever that means drop the subject, fast" Lucy said.
Natsu nodded getting the picture. Lucy let go of his lips and laid back down.
"There's not a chance that your going back down there again is there?" Natsu asked.
Lucy ignored him.
"I guess that means I'll just have to have break with you everyday so you won't get lonely then" Natsu smiled.
Lucy looked at Natsu. What a strange person she thought to herself. No matter how strange though, why did that one sentence make Lucy feel... warm?
"I heard a funny joke from my friend today wanna hear?" Natsu asked.
Lucy only sighed and nodded her head. One day she'll learn what it means to warm up.
It was the last 10 minutes of school and finally the class had free time. Normally Lucy would have talked to Bora regardless of the teacher's permission but today was a test so Bora needed to concentrate. Lucy only took 10 minutes before falling asleep, waking up an hour later to Bora pushing her. Now that everything was done and over Lucy proceeded to tell the man her day.
"Did you cut the bitch?!" Bora yelled.
Lucy shook her head. "She was only doing it because her friend couldn't, there's no pride in cutting her" Lucy said.
"But there is in punching!" Bora said.
Lucy smiled. "Yeah, too little too late though" she said.
"No way I would still would have punched the person, it could be 10 years later and I still would have" Bora said.
"Well thank goodness I'm on good terms with you or else I would be expecting a punch in 10 years" Lucy laughed.
"You will be after that incident with the boot" Bora said.
Lucy only laughed.
"Alright so you wanna hear what Mr. Atsuki did?" Bora asked.
"Please tell me you got it on video" Lucy said.
"Yup half way into class his handwriting on the bored wavered then he started talking about his life and sang. Funniest part was when he knocked out, he dropped like a brick" Bora laughed.
"Enough explaining, start showing" Lucy said.
Lucy and Bora laughed there asses off as they watched the video until the bell rang. She walked out of class with Bora and Wendy behind her.
"Isn't that the chick?" Bora asked.
Lucy looked ahead and saw it was indeed, Lisanna was standing there.
"Want me to punch her for you?" Bora asked.
Lucy shook her head. "Go home Bora see you tomorrow" Lucy said.
"Bye Luce" Bora said before staring at Lisanna and walking off.
Lucy decided to do the same. She walked off with Wendy, ignoring Lisanna.
"Lucy wait" Lisanna said.
Lucy stopped and faced her.
"I'm sorry for overreacting earlier it's just what else can I suspect from you? You treat us like we don't even exist. Either way I was still wrong, so yeah sorry" Lisanna said.
"Don't apologize, you meant those words. Don't stand here and lie to my face" Lucy said.
"Alright so I'm not apologizing for all the things I said but I am about covering for Levy. You were right, she was suppose to be the one to tell you off not me" Lisanna said.
"Sorry about middle school" Lucy said.
Lisanna eyes widened and she looked at Lucy.
"You were right to stay away from me back then, if you hadn't well you probably would have really been jumped. If only your friends were half as smart as you then maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament" Lucy said.
Lucy was referring to her predicament with Natsu. She didn't know what to do with the boy, he was just going to be there for now she guessed.
"I did warn them about you" Lisanna mumbled.
Lucy turned away tired of the conversation and not caring where it was going.
"Wait! I didn't mean to ruin everyone's chance to be friends with you again! Maybe tomorrow you could-"
"I don't know what your talking about, I only went there to buy a candy bar. I didn't expect to get lecture also" Lucy said and continued walking.
Why was Lucy like that? Every time Lisanna started to think something different about the girl she goes and changes her perspective again. Why did Natsu like a girl like her? He was with Lisanna right? Why could he see the obvious and realize that we were dating? Lisanna thought walking away.
Why could Lisanna accepted the obvious that Natsu loved Lucy and not her?
"Lucy could I talk to you for a minute?" Jude said calling her daughter.
Lucy dropped the book she was reading and got up. She patted Wendy's head as she left the living room and started heading towards her Father.
"You missed visiting your Mother with me" he said.
"No really?" Lucy asked sarcastically.
"It's been years Lucy, when are you going to visit her? She misses you, you now" Jude said.
Lucy got anger. "She misses me?! She wouldn't have to miss me if it wasn't for you!" Lucy yelled.
"That's enough Lucy" Jude said.
"Why? You were the one who brought it up! You wanna talk about it! Tell me how did Mother get sick? When exactly did she start feeling ill?! If you hadn't been at work all the time maybe you would have noticed the changes in her!" Lucy yelled.
"Lucy nee-san" Wendy said peeking out the corner of the wall. She was just watching her cartoons until she heard yelling.
"WHAT?!" Lucy yelled.
This had to be the first time Wendy has ever been afraid of her Nee-san. She stumbled back then ran up to her room. Great just fucking great Lucy thought to herself. Because of him Wendy was pissed off at her. Lucy walked away from her Father and went after Wendy.
Jude let her. He knew she was secretly right, that's why he wanted to patch things up with her. Maybe another time he thought. Lucy walked into her room and sat on the bed.
"Kid?" Lucy said placing a hand on the bump under the covers.
She felt Wendy move.
"This will probably be the only time you'll hear me say this, ever but... sorry" Lucy mumbled.
Wendy picked out of the covers and looked at Lucy.
"Next time if you see him walking in the room, just walk up in here okay?" Lucy asked.
Wendy nodded and smiled.
"Since I finished my old book, do I get a new one?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah sure but later though" Lucy said getting up.
She opened her window and sat on the ledge, letting one foot dangle outside it. Lucy lit a cigarette and stared out into the world.
Hello Mom.
