A/N: Jellal's Story.

xXx

"So wait, you got a job as a live in doctor? Who even has that kind of money nowadays?" Ultear asked Jellal.

"Are you actually considering it though?" Gray countered.

"I actually already told them yes, and I start in a few days." Jellal gave a shy smile.

"Wait you already told them yes?" Erza stood up in shock.

"Well yes...I need the money. Being a medical student right out of college, I have loans to pay off. With this job I can pay back everything I owe and plus gain experience for the future."

"That's the spirit!" Ultear cheered. Erza sat back down wondering what kind of rich family would even consider having a med student live with them so easily...

xXx

"Whoa..." Jella said as his cab dropped him in front of a luxurious home. It was like something out of a movie or something.

"Welcome, you must be Jellal." A butler came walking over in all seriousness, "follow me." He was lead into the home and right into the huge living room where a woman stood up and shook his hand.

"Thank you for coming, we were worried that you were going to decline our offer. Please, have a seat." The woman said before nodding the butler off duty.

"I'm sorry, 'we'?" Jellal said as he took a seat.

"My husband and I...he's at a meeting right now so he couldn't be here. We had so many live in doctors and nurses but none of them could handle the job unfortunately..."

"May I ask...who I will be caring for?" Jellal asked with curiosity after hearing how so many people had to decline.

"No of course, come with me." They both got up and headed into the garden out back.

"You will be caring for my lovely daughter, Kinana." What Jellal saw in front of him shocked him. When he said he was taking care of someone, he thought it was someone sickly. But Kinana didn't look nothing of that description.

What he saw was a girl who seemed so carefree, smiling as she picked flowers from her garden.

"I'll let the two of you meet, I have to be somewhere. If you need anything more, the butler Henry or our lead maid Nessa can help you."

After he was left alone with Kinana, he walked over to her slowly.

"Hello Kinana..." He said.

She looked up to him with her innocent eyes.

"You must be my new caretaker, Jellal. It's nice to meet you." She smiled and gave her hand to shake.

"Yeah, same..." He shook her hand and wondered how this girl needed to be watched twenty-four seven.

"We must be close in age, I never had a young doctor before." She smiled.

"Well don't worry, I will be here for you whenever you need me. Don't let my age fool you, I've been on this block for a while now." He smiled back.

Kinana giggled.

"Then for your future help, please take this token of my gratitude." She handed him a red rose. When he went to grab the stem however, he pricked himself on accident.

"I'm so sorry, I thought I had gotten rid of all the thorns." She took a handkerchief from her pocket and wrapped it around his finger.

"It's fine, really..." Jellal looked into her eyes.

"I'll go get a band-aid." Kinana said, making him look away and realize what he almost did.

After a month passed by, the two became good friends. Despite their own positions they were in.

"Jellal, why didn't you wake me up?" Kinana asked as she entered his room playfully.

"It's the weekend, it's both of our days off." He smiled at her while he packed a small bag.

"Are you meeting that cute red head again? Last time she came over, I knew something was going on between the two of you." Kinana sat on his bed with a smile.

"Her name is Erza and yes I am. But it's with a bunch of our other friends, I should be back tomorrow morning if all goes as planned."

"That's nasty..." Kinana made a face.

"I think you need a boyfriend," Jellal joked with her.

"I do have one." Her expression changed suddenly, without him noticing.

"Right, I'll see you later." He patted her on the back before heading out.

Hours later Jellal found himself in the restaurant reunited with his dear friends once again.

"Finally man, we needed to get you back to reality. Somewhere you really belonged." Gray put his beer in the air with cheers.

"Hey, the hills aren't that bad man." Jellal laughed.

"Oh please, those people only care about themselves. And every time they divide us 'valley' people from the 'hill' people, it reminds me of The Hills Have Eyes movie. And you know in that movie everyone dies." Ultear shook her head slowly.

"Not everyone dies," Erza laughed.

"Majority then, there." Ultear laughed back as they all started eating their food.

"Tonight was fun right?" Erza said as she brushed her teeth. She and Jellal were staying in a hotel with their friends. It was supposed to be Gray and him sharing a room but then Ultear decided to go with Gray and leave Jellal room less.

"Yeah," Jellal chuckled as he checked messages on his phone.

"Damn, twenty missed calls? Aren't you Mr. Popular?" Erza said when she got out of the bathroom and took a peak behind his back.

"It's Kinana's mother..." He said before calling her back.

"Thank god Jellal, I need you to come back here right now! Right now!" She hung up.

"What's wrong?" Erza asked.

"I need to get back something happened, are you going to be okay?" Jellal asked as he packed his things up.

"Yeah I'll be-" Before she could finish he was out the door.

"-Okay..." Erza sighed.

xXx

"You caused this other relapse!"

"What the hell are you talking about, I wasn't even home!"

"That's just it, you're never home anymore are you?!"

Jellal could hear the couple of the house fighting as soon as he walked through the door.

"Hello?" He called out.

"Jellal, where the hell have you been?"

"Madam I'm so sorry, I went into town. I thought this was okay since I had the weekend off..."

"You do but we expected you to at least be around in case something like this happened. Kinana is having one of her memory relapses and refuses to let anyone into her room."

"I'll go talk to her." Jellal bowed before heading upstairs to her room.

"Kinana...it's me..." He knocked on the door. He listened in through the door and heard voices, he felt confused as he opened the door slowly.

He looked behind the door, making cautious movements. Sitting on the floor in front of the door there she was, rocking herself back and fourth while covering her ears and whispering to herself.

Memory relapse...? Jellal thought for a minute, thinking that couldn't be right.

"Kinana..?" He said before fully entering her room now.

"He told you it was the last time right? So maybe it's not what you think it is..."

"Are you stupid? Of course what you saw was right Kinana, he's a liar after all!"

That second voice of hers, didn't scare Jellal off like it did to the rest of the doctors and nurses. They all thought she was possessed by some demon and just heard voices.

But Jellal knew this wasn't supernatural, and Kinana had no such thing as a memory loss problem.

"Kinana look at me..." Jellal crouched down in front of her slowly.

It took her a few minutes before she actually noticed him there.

"Jellal...?" That innocent face he once saw before, stared back at him for an instant before it got over shadowed with her second being.

"You lied to me, you said you would be here whenever I needed you. But where were you huh? Off playing with some bimbo in the city!" She hissed.

"You're right...I did say that and I'm sorry. I promise you it won't ever happen again Kinana, come here." He put his arms around her and pulled her in for a hug.

She shook with fear right before crying into his shirt and letting everything go. An hour later she was in her bed asleep.

"You're the first person to not freak out over her illness..." Kinana's mother came into the room.

"Oh, you mean her memory loss syndrome?" Jellal secretly rolled his eyes.

"My husband and I found out about her disorder two years ago. At the time Kinana had been studying abroad. One day, her teacher called us saying Kinana has had a major panic attack. So we flew over to see if she was okay, she said she was fine when we saw her. A month later she had another attack, and this time it was her friend who called us. The second time we flew out...I could tell my daughter wasn't okay at all."

Jellal could see the tears forming now.

"We took our daughter to the best doctors, asking why she kept having these panic attacks and if there was a way to cure her. When they did some tests on her, they found out something much more serious. They said she had a personality disorder. Being that our own reputations were on the line, we decided to keep this hush hush and got her on some medications. We hired people to stay by her side during her last year of school abroad so we didn't have anyone questioning us. When she finished we brought her back home."

"From the day I started working here, you've been telling me that she had memory loss. Why tell me that instead of the truth?"

"We know how the hospitals and school programs work. Every time they hear about Kinana, the truth about her illness and our family...they decline the offer. I know you've heard about our family already, I didn't want her condition to be the icing on the came for you."

Jellal looked at Kinana, sound asleep. She wasn't wrong about that. If he hadn't gotten to know Kinana first...he probably wouldn't have taken this job.

xXx

"Jellal, where have you been? I've been calling you like none-stop." Erza said on the other end of the line.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I've just been super busy."

"Are you okay? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah everything is fine, look I need to go." He hung up the phone before getting into the backseat with Kinana.

He ushered the driver to start the car so they could be on their way.

"Where are we going today?" Kinana asked.

"Today we can do whatever you want to do." He smiled softly.

"Really?" Her eyes sparkled up at him.

"Yes." He nodded. He loved to see her smile.
