"It's unfair." Angel whispers as she look at me. "Why you?"

"…What?"

"It's unfair!" She charges at me. My eyes widened as I cover my face.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*

"Lucy-san." Juvia shook me awake and I jerk away from her, panting. She looks at me worriedly.

"Again…?" I ask her. She nodded at me. "I'm sorry."

"The meds take a while before they work." Juvia says in understanding. "Are you alright?"

"Yes." I breathe. "Yes I'm fine."

"Tea?" Juvia offers. I shook my head at her. "It'll calm you down."

"No, I don't want to bother you." I told her as I pull the covers off of me and sit up.

"It's fine. Juvia has training at six today, it's only like thirty more minutes. Come on, help Juvia make breakfast." She encouraged as Juvia stood up. I sigh and nod, following her into the kitchen. "Juvia apologizes if she can't take you to school today."

"No it's fine. I'm really sorry if I keep bothering you." I bite my lip in embarrassment.

"Juvia doesn't mind at all." She smiled at me.

"I'm thinking I should get my own car." I shrug. "So that I don't have to keep bothering you."

Juvia blinked at me. "Lucy-san must be rich to be able to buy it despite being a student. Juvia's car is second hand and she still pays for it." She giggled.

"No, it's my dad's card." I roll my eyes. "Not like he will notice or anything, or cares."

"Would you like Juvia to come with you when you do?"

I nod at her. "That would help thanks."

"But Juvia didn't think Lucy-san was rich." She looked up in thought. "How surprising."

"My dad owns Heartfilia railways." I groaned. "The reason why I was sent here is because… I kept losing control at home, and it happened in front of his business partner. The business partner who happens to be hoping I get married to their son so that we could expand the family businesses." I told her, grabbing some eggs out of the fridge.

"Oh, is this something out of a romance movie? The rich girl is in an arranged marriage and-" I cut her off before she could daydream.

"Nothing like that." I laughed.

"Disappointing." Juvia takes out some flour from the cupboard. "Pancakes?" She asks me.

I nod at her, ecstatic. Juvia smiles and starts prepping the ingredients. Her phone rings and she quickly grabs it. "Gray-sama!" She answers happily. "Good morning!"

I roll my eyes at her as I take the ingredients from her, continuing as she talks over the phone. She disappears off to the living room and I ignore her. I crack the eggs, mixing them with the dry ingredients, and proceed to make with the batter.

"Hey."

I let out a scream when I hear a voice behind me, like literally right next to my ear. I hold the spatula out like a weapon.

"Fucking hell Natsu." I groaned. "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

He grinned and shrugged. "Breakfast."

"Excuse me?"

"Gray called Juvia, our training was canceled and we're awake. We know Juvia's awake, where else to go?"

"Anywhere but the kitchen?" I tell him. He smiles at me.

"You got plans today?" He asks me casually.

"I have two classes this morning." I told him. "I figured I drop by the guildhall later too and take Erza up her offer."

His smile widens. "There you go Luigi! I thought you'd keep hiding here forever."

"Lucy." I growl at him. "And you? What are your plans?"

"I'm just gonna hang out at the guildhall." He keep his smile, though it was apparent there was meaning behind it, I couldn't figure it out. I just nod at him and turn back to making breakfast. "Need some help?"

"Can you cook?" I ask.

"No."

"Then why bother?"

"The way you're doing it looks easy enough."

I feel a vein twitch in annoyance. I glared at him then handed him the whisk. "Alright Dragneel, since your so great, you do it." He smirks at me, taking the utensil like a trophy.

*.*.*.*.*.*

A pillow flung towards Gray's head as his whole body shook with laughter. "Fuck off Gray!" Natsu yells at him.

"Don't mess with Juvia's living room!" I hear my roommate scold as she placed the food down on the table. Decent food. Not the horrible, charred pieces of ash Natsu had presented us with earlier.

Gray laughed even louder. "How, just how do you destroy a pan making pancakes?"

"Apparently cooking for Natsu meant burning the utensils you use for cooking." I growled at him as I stay steady on my spot. "It was a cast iron. How can you burn a cast iron?!"

Natsu frowned at me. "You need to get that stove fixed."

"There is nothing wrong with our stove! You nearly burnt down our apartment!" I yell at him as my hands grab a pillow and began hitting him with it.

"O-Oi!" His hands raise to his face in an attempt to protect.

"Stay the hell away from the kitchen!"

Gray laughed again. "Lucy, he's banned from entering the guildhall's kitchen."

"And you're no help at all!" I cross my arms against my chest. Juvia passed the large plate over to us.

"Thanks for breakfast Juvia!" Natsu said as he instantly devoured the food. "It's good!"

*.*.*.*.*.*

"Catching a ride with Natsu-san again I see?" Juvia giggled as she picked up the plates. I rolled my eyes as I shoved my textbooks in her bag. "I like how you two are so friendly."

"He offered. And I really would like a ride."

"Juvia could've given you a ride if you asked her."

"Juvia had just told me she was busy this morning." The blue haired girl nearly sang in content as she walked towards the kitchen sink. I groaned. "Okay, Okay, Juvia will stop." She entered the living room once again, this time her hand holding a small bottle. Twisting it's cap off she shook all of it's contents down to her hand, carefully counting before she returned the small pills back into the bottle.

"You gave one to me last night." I reminded her, frowning. "You don't have to keep counting them everyday."

"It's precaution." Juvia said shortly as she placed the bottle back in the drawer where she took it from.

"You don't have to lock it." I commented. "I'm not taking it."

Juvia locked eyes with the me. "It's also precaution." She said quietly. She then clasped her hands together. "Come on, Natsu-san is waiting for you." Juvia smiled.

*.*.*.*.*.*

"You alright?" Natsu asked as me as I feel him glance at me. "I'm not that smart but I've always been told I'm great at reading when someone's upset." He chuckled to himself.

I glanced at him and shrugged. "I'm good." I unconsciously raised my hand to my mouth, biting my thumb gently. "I'm good." I repeated.

I am good.

Really I am.

It was fine that my only friend in this city was cautious enough to lock away my prescribed medication so that I, the one who actually takes the medication, wouldn't mistakenly overdose herself.

I am good.

"Shit." I heard Natsu cuss, whipping my head away from my land of thoughts as I turned to look at him in wonder.

"What?" He points forward. Several cars in front of us, noisy and unmoving. "There's barely any traffic in this area. What's going on?"

"Someone must have had an accident." Natsu adjusted his rearview mirror. "Looks like we can't get out of this road. They're piling up behind us. Hope you aint got any tests today cause you're probably gonna miss first period." He laughed.

"You're missing it too."

"Yeah but this is not my first time." He looks at me again. "Sorry, this is the only route to school."

I didn't care. Everything being discussed in class was something I already knew, and was taught in my first year. It wasn't like I was missing much.

"If I knew we'd be stuck in traffic today, we could've stopped for coffee." Natsu groaned, and I could feel his displeasure.

"You said it was fine for you to miss class." I pointed out. "Why are you so upset?"

"I don't like being in a car for so long. It makes me dizzy."

"It's your car."

"Yeah, and I don't like riding for so long because it makes me sick." He tells me like it was the most casual thing in the world.

"You have motion sickness?" I asked, humor forming in my voice. "Airplanes must render you catatonic." I giggle.

"Laugh all you want princess, you're the one in a car ride with me for the next hour or so."

"I'll be sleeping through it." I reached my hand towards the side of my seat, reaching for the lever to retract it. "I woke up too early." Natsu rolls his eyes but hands me a pillow from the back of his car.

As I soon as I was comfortable, I feel my eyes getting even heavier by the minute and I could no longer fight the light feeling of sleep.

*.*.*.*.*.*

I struggled. I keep struggling, trying to get Dan's hands off of me. It felt disgusting. He felt disgusting.

I want to leave.

I kept kicking my feet, rustling my arms to release his grip. Though, Dan had tightened it almost immediately.

"Stop it!" I hear Dan growly at me. I try biting the hand that was covering my mouth, but his thick gloves prevented from feeling the pain. "You're making this much harder on yourself."

I keep my struggle. We kept moving around until I feel a slight pressure, and I realized is back might have hit a wall. I don't know why, but I push him further.

Until I no longer felt his hands on me.

Until I heard a loud bang, followed by a crash. I keep my eyes where they were. In front and opposite from Dan. I stood there in shock, unmoving. And when I could finally feel that I could control the movement of my own body, it felt like forever.

I turned my head, agonizingly slow. Towards where Dan was supposed to be.

It wasn't a wall. It was a railing. A railing that looks like it was broken by applying pressure on it until it did break.

Metal doesn't break just because someone was pushed against it. But it will break if it was rusty, old, and was much much older than me.

My eyes trailed down, pass the steps of the staircase and towards the main part of the room. Dan laid on the ground, his body in a weird angle.

A body is not supposed to look like that.
