NATSU P.O.V.
I sat down on the edge of the couch as I looked over at her. I couldn't take my eyes off her, and looked at every inch of her. I never seen her so exposed, and it's not like I never seen her before, but I'm going to be honest she was in the background for most of my time in high school. I felt someone one tap me on the shoulder, but I didn't answer. I just kept looking at her bruises, and cuts. How could someone do this with her? I feel pain with every look I took, but I can't look away.
"Natsu!" I snapped my head back ready to shout at the person who made me look away from her, but then I noticed it was Wendy holding up Lucy's phone. I saw that Erza was calling, and I won't lie I was scared to even answer, but I gulped down my fear. I took the phone and took a deep breath.
"Thanks Wendy" She walked away from us, and I took another look at Lucy. She's sound asleep, and then I swiped to answer. "Hello?"
"Natsu? Why are you answering Lucy's phone? Is she alright?" I can hear the worry in her voice .
"She's at my house, and um she's been hurt. Erza, I need you to give me Lucy's mom's number or dad's" I heard her take a deep breath before answering, but I knew something was wrong.
"Natsu, her parents died a couple of years ago. She lives on her own." I felt my stomach sink when I heard that. She's on her own. No wonder why nobody noticed these bruises and wounds. It's not like anyone would noticed at school because she's always covered up. "Natsu?" I quickly snapped back into the reality.
"Yeah, so um I guess she'll stay here until she's better."
"Are sure? I mean what will your parents agreed to it?" I sat there, and thought about it.
"Yeah, I think so. My mom told me she needs to be watched over for the next few days anyways."
"Ok? How is she?" I took a deep breath before looking at Lucy. I saw she was scrunching up her face, and then her face relaxed, but I think she was finally at peace.
"She's sound asleep on my couch, and she ate a few bites of a sandwich before falling asleep"
"That sounds like she's doing good, look Natsu I have to go, but please update me as you can"
"No problem, bye" I ended the phone call as I looked over to Lucy lightly snoring, so I decided to get up, and walked over to the kitchen. I was getting a glass of water, but I just can't get the thought out of my mind. She has no one…..
"Son?" I snapped back into reality to see my dad there.
"Yeah, you need something?" He just shook his head.
"Yeah, your mother wants to know if you got in contact with her parents?" I looked down to the table.
"Dad about that, I talked to one of her friends, and her parents died a couple years ago." I heard him take deep breath, and he knew how badly I felt.
"Well Sweetie, she can't go home. She'll have to stay here for a few days" Mom said as she grabbed her purse and her nurse ID card.
"Well what about school, and who's going to take care of her?" My father asked her as put on her running shoes.
"I can called her school explaining the circumstances which would allow them to let her stay out of school. I'm working doubles the next few days and you're on call for the fire house, so maybe we'll have Natsu watch over her." They both looked at me as I just nodded my head. "There problem solved, but Natsu you will have to change her badges everyday at 8am and 4pm, and every 8 hours after that." I nodded my head as she just smiled at me.
"What?" She shrugged her shoulders before walking towards the door.
"Just nothing, Igneel are we leaving together, or you're catching a ride with one of the other guys." My father came speed walking towards us as he grabbed his keys.
"No honey, I'm riding with you because I'm not going to be home for a few days" They walked out the door, and I went upstairs to check on Wendy.
LUCY P.O.V.
I know that Natsu said I should be sleeping, but I can't fall back asleep. Not after hearing the door closed, and I looked at the clock on the wall. 15 minutes, 15 minutes that's how long I slept. I try to closed my eyes back into dreamland, but nothing. I let out a sigh from frustration, and I hear someone walking down the stairs, but I couldn't turn around because of the pain. I saw Natsu, and he looked at me with a big smile I felt nervous in these clothes especially since Natsu saw me like this. I tried my best to look away from him, but I couldn't shake the feeling of him just staring at me.
"So um, when are you going to drive me home?" I trying to break his stare, but he looked at if I was crazy.
"You're not going home, not until my mom gives you the clear" Do I really have that bad of injuries?
"So how long am I going to be here? Also is this my new bed?" I light patted the couch as he lightly chuckled, and I felt something bubble in the pit of my stomach.
"You're going to be here for a few days, and your new bed is up in my room"
"Wait, what! I can't share a room with you!" If my Momma would see me now, she would kill me then scold me, and don't get me started on my father. ,
"Yes you can, and you will. My room is the whole third floor, well technically it's the attic, but it doesn't look like attic. I have an extra bed up there, so you will sleep there."I felt very uncomfortable when I thought about sleeping in a room with only these clothes on. You got to be out of your mind!
"Why can't I just stay here?" I hugged the couch tightly, and we started laughing when he gave me this weird look.
"Because, I'm going to have to take care of you for the next few days, so it will be easier this way." He said as he tried to help me up, and I refused to get up.
"What do you mean? We're going to school?" He gave me this weird look again
"No! You're not going to school you can barely get up!" I looked down to the ground
"I've been through worst" I whispered thinking he wouldn't hear me
"Lucy listen to me, you're not alone! You can't keep quiet anymore! Now we are going to get you upstairs, and have you rest" I saw the anger in his eyes, so I stood quiet and took his hand as he helped up. He grabbed my waist as we walked up the stairs slowly…..Thanks Natsu for everything….
