Lucy P.O.V

I looked at my clock and saw it was six.

I can't believe I'm going...

I walked over to my closet to pick an outfit, but as I stared at my selection of clothes, I grew confused on what to wear.

"What do people even wear to school parties...?"

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

Levy:

Hey!

Wanna meet at my place?

Lucy:

Sure.

Btw...

What do people wear at parties...?

Levy:

I dunno.

Just do some jeans and a nice shirt, I guess.

Lucy:

Thanks.

I walked back to my closet to look for my outfit.

"Jeans and nice shirt...huh?"


While walking to Levy's home I saw a van in front of her house. She was packing the giant drumset into the van.

"Levy!"

When she turned around I saw that she was wearing ripped jeans, a plaid flannel wrapped around her waist, and a black tank top. Her signature dark eyeliner covered her eyes as her spiky choker wrapped her neck.

You're really not the Levy I knew before...

"Hey Lucy, I'm glad you made it."

"Yeah...me too..."

"Yo, Levy, we're ready to roll," said Jet while hopping into the van.

"Cool," She then turned to me, "Come on, you can get in the van with us."

I walked into the van nervously, looking at Droy with a weak smile as I avoided my gaze from the stranger.

"Hey Droy...who's that?" I whispered while sitting next to him, leaving the terrifying looking guy alone in the back.

"That's Gajeel, he's our replacement guitarist for tonight."

"Gajeel?! As in the delinquent Gajeel?!" I shout whispered.

He nodded his head and shivered. "He's a great guitarist, but honestly hope this is our last gig with him."

Great guitarist...? A delinquent like him? I better keep my distance...I don't want any trouble.


Levy P.O.V

When we finally arrived, I jumped out of the passenger seat and walked over to a distracted Lucy who was already out the van and staring at Loke's great mansion.

"It's huge!" she yelled while looking at the mansion.

"Yep, and we're playing in that mansion!"

"This is amazing..." she whispered in awe, still staring at the four story tall house.

I giggled at her shocked expression. "We're gonna set up. You go in and enjoy yourself."

She looked at me with a anxious expression.

"Nah...I'll just wait until you go in..."

"No Lucy, go in and enjoy yourself!" I shouted while pushing her away.

"Okay..." she then walked into the Mansion alone.

I walked back to the van to get my drumset, and I was struggling to get the bass drum.

Curse these weak tiny arms of mine!

Suddenly it became lighter.

"I'll take it."

I looked up to see Gajeel.

"It's okay, I got this," I said coldly.

He ignored my snarky comment and took the drum away from me. "I got this too."

Why is he paying attention to me? Is it because of that promise...?

"Suit yourself." I walked away and pretended to grab something out of the van until he left.

When I noticed he was gone, I stopped acting cool and took the drumsticks out of my hair.

"What's wrong with me...?"


Lucy P.O.V

I shouldn't have come...

I was at the front door of the mansion, and the sight I saw from the parking lot was not its reality. Food, trash, and intoxicated teena covered the lawn. They were all laughing, intoxicated with whatever LSD was available.

I'm here for Levy. Don't forget that Lucy.

I took a deep breath and walked into the open door. While entering, I saw an indoor pool with a bunch of people swimming in their underwear. There were couples by the walls making out, and teens grinding on whoever was nearby. The smell of weed filled the air, and empty beer cans laid all over the floor.

I shouldn't be here...

"Aww man, the beer ran out," said a boy as he threw his empty can into the pool.

"This sucks, Loke better buy more!" shouted another angrily while kicking a can.

Are they really upset because there's no more liquor?

I kept my head down as I walked over to the refreshments. This is not my sort of thing...

I grabbed a closed soda can and walked over to the stage, waiting for Levy's band to perform.

Please don't let anybody come near me. I just want to see them perform...then I want to leave...

"Hey."

I sighed in distress. Of course...

I looked to my side and saw Loke, the playboy.

"I haven't seen you at school, my blonde empress~" He said with a wink.

"Please...don't..."

"What was that my dear goddess?"

Please let them start!

I looked back at the stage, waiting for levy's band to play. Then a miracle happened.

"Loke~ Where did you go~?"

"Oh crap. I need to go. Good bye my blonde goddess," he kissed my cheek and ran away.

I quickly wiped his kiss away in disgust. Playboys...

I rolled my eyes and looked back at the stage to see Levy grab the mic.

"Yo!"

Everyone in the party went silent as they faced her. "Who's ready to rock?!" She yelled into the mic.

The people began to cheer wildly. Levy threw the mic to their lead singer Jet as she made her way to her drum set.

"1...2...1 2 3-"

Their music was amazing. The passion from each one of them illuminated through the house as everyone cheered happily.

I smiled happily as I looked at my bestfriend. She looks happy up there.

Once they finished, a guy jumped onto the stage and took the mic away from Jet.

"It's finally arrived!" He yelled as he showed a pack of beer.

The crowd went wild as people pushed me aside to get the alchohol. People began to yell happily: "Finally," "I thought it would never come," "All hail prince Loke!"

Once I saw the restock of beer, I knew I had to get out of there. I have to get out of here! I need to find Levy so we can leave!

I quickly ran over to Levy, pushing the loads of intoxicated teens out of my way. I was out of breath and I wanted to leave. "Levy, can we go now?"

"Uh no, we're not leaving until the party's over."

"Fine...then I'm leaving."

"Why?"

"I only came because of the performance."

She rolled her eyes at me and crossed her arms. "Lucy, is it because that guy brought beer?"

I nodded.

"Really? What's the big deal? It's just alcohol. You're overreacting and being stupid."

I was shocked by her response. I felt my heart shatter at her words because I knew the Levy I grew up with was slowly fading away into someone I no longer knew.

I placed my hand against my heart as I looked at the ground. "Sorry Levy, I'm leaving."

I was walking away when she began to yell at me: "You're such a loser, Lucy! What did you think even happened at these parties? Did you think we were just gonna sit in a circle and play duck duck goose?!"

I felt my eyes begin to water from the shame and embarrassment she was making me feel.

"Grow up Lucy! Live a little. You're nothing but a workaholic that always plays by the rules. You're such a loser. Go ahead and leave!"

Tears began to hit the ground as my ears filled with her abusive words.

Levy...Why...? Who are you...?

I quickly ran off the property to my own home. Tears filled my eyes, and cracks consumed my breaking heart.
