So, I failed my exams. Cry well, gives me more time to update and go for my dream of voice acting! Yay! That'll take years though.
Anyway, so I'm going to do a little about Lucy's home story in this chapter then go on to the dance.
Hope you like it!
"Lucy! Get down here now!" Father shouted down to me. Fuck sake, what the hell did I do this time? I made my way down the stairs, holding on to the hand rail for support, and walked in to the living room where my father was seated with his arms folded, looking at me with an intense glare.
Shit, he only looked like this when he gave me his special lectures. He unfolded his arms and lifted himself of off the new brown sofa. He walked towards me and I felt like running. Badly. But, that would only get me in to a worse situation just like last time.
He had raised his fist for the first time, I didn't know what to do, so I ran. Little did I know was that he was chasing after me, and gaining fast. He finally got to me and kicked me to the ground, winding me in the process. I couldn't move, it felt like my body was paralysed.
"You will not run away from your father. You will receive punishment if you do. I went easy on you this time."
That's why I don't run. Because I know whatever I face there and then, is nothing compared to punishment.
"Lucy, I hear you are planing to go to the school dance tonight." He says while standing a few feet away from me.
"Yes father"
"I forbid it."
W-what? I wasn't allowed to go? What was I supposed to tell Levy, I promised her that I'd go!
"But father I-"
"No buts! And to make sure you don't go, I want this house spotless by the time I come back from my meeting. I'll be back at 11 so I better not be disappointed, otherwise you'll revive punishment."
He barged past me, almost knocking me over, but I stood my ground. My bangs covered my eyes as a way to hide my emotions. Why would I want him to see them? He doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve to call himself a father.
I almost crawl up the stairs to my bedroom, hoping to find some time to think before I have to make the call to Levy. I peer out of my window and see my dad's limo reversing out of the driveway. Good, he's going. At least I'm on my own for the night.
I flop on to my newly made bed and close my eyes for a second, before groaning to myself and picking myself up. I drag myself over to my phone and dial in Levy's number.
Brrr. Brr. Br-
"Hello?" Oh god what do I say?
"Hey It's Lucy, My dad's making me clean the house, I can't come to the dance"
"WHAT!? No Lucy, you have to come, you can't leave me alone please!"
"I'm so sorry Levy, Listen I've got to go, love you!"
"Lucy wai-"
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I sigh as I throw my phone on to my bed. 'Time to get started' I think to myself.
An hour was spent, cleaning one room! I swept the floor, hovered, polished, sprayed, wiped. Everything.
This was the smallest room in the house. *Sigh* This is going to be a long night.
'Ding dong'
The door bell? Who in the world could that be, surly no one from school, it's 4pm, the dance will start in an hour and a half. People will be getting ready.
I get to the door and swing it open.
There stood Levy. To say I was surprised was an understatement.
"Levy, what in the world are you, please don't tell me that they're our dresses to the dance."
"Yup, and you're coming with me." She said with a huge grin on her face.
"Levy, you know I have to clean the house, I don't even have any of the maids to help me because father said they couldn't come back until 11."
"What if I said that I could help you with your little cleaning problem."
"I'd say, you're crazy."
"I'm not as crazy as you think. Come on out guys."
All of the maids came out from no where and stood behind levy with smiles on their faces, Oh my, Levy, where would I be without you!
"Levy, I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything. Come on, lets go get ready. Thank you for your help guys!" She said to all of the maids behind her, they simply bowed in response.
We both ran up to my room in a hurry to get ready, yeah we might be a little late but like Levy said, no one will know who we are. So it's okay, right?
We did each others make up before we got in to our dresses. (I'm going to describe them when they walk in to the dance) and I have to admit, Levy looked amazing!
Pretty soon we were done. (Sorry I'm too lazy to write the getting ready part) We were half an hour late but I mean, who cares. As long as I leave by half 10 I'll be fine right?
...
Well, here we are. Oh god I'm nervous. What if they can tell it's me? What if I make an idiot of myself? No Lucy, think positive. You're doing this for Levy, think of all the things she's done for you, now pull yourself together!
Levy must of noticed my little argument with myself as she gently placed her hand on my shoulder, surprisingly making me feel relaxed and careless. How the hell does she have this affect on me? I'll never know...
We push open the doors to the dance hall and instantly notice something. Why is everyone here wearing black and white? Even their hair is black and white!
Here's me in my sky blue strap-less, knee length dress that flows from the waist, with ruffles at the bottom, and ribbons cris crossing on my arms, A blue mask with black embroidery patterns, and blue and black shoes. Cause I really look the part.
Oh no, everyone's staring at me, I knew it, I'm making a fool out of myself. Everyone will definitely know it's me, only I could do something this stupid!
"Hey, who's the girl in the sexy blue dress?"
"I don't know, but if she gave me the chance I'd like to find out"
Huh, I guess people don't know who I am after all. This is amazing! I feel like I can do anything right now.
And I guess now's a good time to start.
So, I'm done with another chapter. Things are gunna get more interesting in the next chapter, Lucy sings and Natsu gets involved. Yipee.
Anyway, this was done faster than expected.
I'll update soon, bye!
