The next three days had gone by fast. Lucy spent most of her time with her new friend Levy who had come over as much as she could to hang out. They learned that they had a lot in common. Now it was Monday. Lucy was nervous as hell but at least Levy would be by her side.
Lucy's p.o.v
She was riding to school with me and Makraov. I had to wear this uniform which showed off some of my scars but I would just have to deal with it. When I arrived people were looking at me with disgust, others were glaring, people were ignoring me. I guess they found out who my father was. This was going to be a long first day.
Levy was giving me a tour of the school when this pink and black haired boy ran into us while they were arguing. I thought it was pretty funny how they looked like a married couple.
"Oh sorry. I didn't see you there. I was too busy fighting with frosty over there that I didn't see you guys." Said the one with pink hair
"What did you call me a flame head? It was your fault that we knocked them over so why don't you stop blaming everythin on me dumb ass." Said the one with black hair
They started head butting and calling each other names. Levy and I looked at each other before bursting out laughing at their behavior. This seemed to catch their attention but they just joined in with laughing and the four of us made our way to class. Since they didn't have a schedule for me yet I just followed Lucy around to all her classes.
Lunch we ended up sitting in a classroom talking. The boys' names were Natsu and Gray who had just transferred here a week ago. They had apparently gone to some other school together but they didn't say what school it was. They were really nice but they kept arguing with each other. The rest of the day went by fine except for the fact that I was still getting glares from almost everyone. Especially this group of girls.
One had blue hair, two had while hair, one with brown, and the last one had red hair. They seemed to follow me wherever I went but it had this dark aurora surrounding them. They must be part of some of the families that my father had ruined so of course they would hate me. I guess I'll live in my father's shadow forever.
At the end of the day I was waiting with Levy for Makarov to drive us back to the house when the group of girls approached us. They kept their eyes on me for a second before turning their attention to Levy.
"Hey Levy. We wanted to know if you could help us today after school with some chemistry work. We weren't paying attention in many classes today because of the new what time can we meet up?" the girl with red hair asked
"Well I'm going to be busy this afternoon but maybe Lucy can help you guys a bit. For her first day she understood everything and is very observant so she might be able to help you more than I can right now. We were going to do our work today at her place but maybe she's willing to help you guys while I work on my own things." Levy said
Wait What. No one has ever asked for my help and these girls looked like they wanted to kill me all day. Their attention turned back to me and they looked like they wanted me gone. They then just picked up and left without saying anything else. Damn those people must be a group of people that no one messes with or are popular.
A month has passed since my first day of school and things have been going okay. I'm a straight A student and people have finally stopped glaring at me but now they just pretend I don't exist. Levy has stayed by my side through everything along with Natsu and Gray. Gajeel had become a member of the group. Levy and him are secretly dating which makes them the cutest couple. I also think Natsu and Gray would be cute together but that hasn't happened yet.
My brother Laxus and I are also closer. We talk sometimes but that's about it but he will protect me from anyone who tries to hurt me. Makarov has been an amazing father but it feels weird to call him dad so I call him gramps instead. The only thing I wish to change is that my real father is coming to see me. He came over the weekend to visit and since no one was home except for me he abused me again. I have so many bruises now.
The following day at school people were looking at me weird. I think that they might have been concerned or curious about what happened. The worst part was I was late for class and this class in particular is going to screw me over. It's the class I share with all my friends plus that group of girls and some other people.
I opened the door and everything went silent. The whole class was looking at me. Even the teacher. This isn't what I wanted but I had no choice but to go. Gramps or Laxus hadn't seen me at all and I was afraid of their reactions. I took my seat and class continued as normal.
Cana's p.o.v
I was looking at Lucy when she walked in and she looked horrible. She had cuts and bruises all over her. There were bags under her eyes from lack of sleep and she looked pale. Maybe from not eating. Well whatever it is it concerns me. I remember first seeing her and talking to her. Although she wouldn't know because the girls and I had dressed up so no one would recognize us as we snuck around at a bar. We are under age but I drink all the time and it's fun to get the girls out.
She was so nice when we talked. Her smile made me blush. The other girls joined the conversation and soon after she left, we all had a crush on her but when we found out who her father was we didn't talk to her. I hadn't noticed the teacher step out until I saw her friends surround her. They were having a conversation and right now I wish I was a part of it.
I leaned back in my chair and was trying to hear the conversation that was going on and let me tell you. I never thought that this was the issue and now I was pissed. No one should do that. I looked over and saw the other girls posed as well. Looks like they heard it to. I can't believe she's been through this and all I've done is make her life worse.
"Omg Luce. What happened to you. Who did this to you? I promise they will never hurt you again. I'm going to personally kick their ass." Natsu said
"Same with me. Me and the flame brain over there aren't going to let anyone touch our little sister. I don't care who he is. He's not gonna go near you when we arewere done with them." Gray said
"You got that right bunny girl. No one messes with one of my friends or they're asking for a beating. Now tell us who." Gajeel said
"Lu-Chan. You can trust us with this. We'll always be here for you." Levy said while giving her a hug.
"Alright. I'll tell you guys but you have to promise to keep it a secret. I don't want everyone to know about this. Also you can't do anything with this aka you can't go attack him or confront him." Lucy said
"But Luce. They hurt you. I mean look at you. You're covered in bruises and blisters. Your limping as well. Oh and don't forget the broken arm. Come on Luce. We have to do something." Natsu said
"Please don't. If you do I don't know what will happen. I don't want you guys getting hurt because of me. If I tell you then you have to promise to keep it to yourselves. Alright." Lucy said
The four of them hesitate before nodding. They had to find out what was wrong. Lucy took a long breath in and a long one out.
"My fathers been abusing me. Makarov convinced him to let me go and to have Makarov adopt me. That's why I love him and new brother Laxus but since my so called father is still blood related for some reason he visited me over the weekend when no one else was home and did this to me. Now I'm stuck with these marks until they heal. I know you guys want to do something but for now please leave it alone. I need you guys by my side right now." Lucy said while trying to hold back the tears and fear.
"Oh Lu-Chan." Levy said as she brought Lucy into a hug. Lucy couldn't hold it in anymore and she let the tears fall. She sobbed into Levy's shirt. Finally letting go of all the emotions she had been holding in for god knows how long.
I couldn't believe that I had been so rude to her. I looked back at the other girls. Some had tears in their eyes while others looked pissed. Seems like I'm not the only one who had blamed myself.
The teacher came back in a few minutes later and class continued. They didn't comment on the fact that Levy was still next to Lucy and the boys weren't paying attention to class but instead taking glances at each other and at Lucy. When the bell rang Lucy hurried out of class.
I got up and followed her. I didn't want to leave her alone. She was sprinting as fast as she could and ran right out of the back doors. It was hard keeping up with her but I managed. She ran into a back alley. I stopped just before the ally to take a breath. I hadn't even realized that the rest of the girls had followed.
We all just looked at one another. An awkward silence that no one wanted to break. We didn't know what to do. We hated her for her father but the teacher had said that they didn't hate her. Only her father because kids can't choose their parents.
Lucy's p.o.v
I stood there in the dark ally crying. I don't understand why people hate me so much. I didn't do anything to them. My father did. Am I just unlovable? Should I just end my life. I would be free from my fathers name and be with my mother again.
I lost control of my emotions and started screaming and punching the wall.
"WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? SHOULD I JUST KILL MYSELF? NO ONE WOULD CARE IF I WAS GONE. THEY WOULD BE HAPPY." I screamed.
Before I knew it I was throwing myself into the wall and punching it harder. Soon blood had started to go down my hands and arms. It hurt so much but I deserved it. No one would ever mind if I show up tomorrow covered in bruises and bandages.
All of a sudden I felt someone's arms wrapped around me and pulled me into them. I didn't know who it was and I couldn't tell with the tears in my eyes but whoever it was, was warm and I felt safe for some reason. I also saw four other people behind me but I still couldn't see who they were. One of them walked up to me as I was falling asleep. The last thing I remember was them picking me up bridal style and letting me rest my head on their solder before sleep consumed me.
