Lucy's POV

Today at lunch I sat by myself. Levy and Erza came by the table asking what's wrong.

"I'm mad at Sting and Natsu they refuse to tell me anything. Lisanna has disappeared and the boys won't tell me anything. Then I remembered a conversation that Sting said to Natsu that he'd only date me to get laid which made me more mad and I left so I don't wanna be bothered and you can leave now and tell that to everyone else too. Gajeel and Romeo included." I stated rather rudely. I guess I was a bit harsh judging from their sad faces as they walked away toward Natsu and Sting who were laughing.

I throw my tray away and walk to The Strauss family household. I really didn't care at this point what anyone thought. Lisanna was hiding something and I AM going to find out what it is. When I reach the doorstep I used the key under the mat and walked inside closing the door and locking it. There Yukino, Lisanna and Sting 's, family friend told me she was in her room. I walked there and flung the door open. I was angry to see she was just sitting on her phone texting.

"Lisanna I can't believe you." I growled.

" oh hey Lu-chan why're you here." she asked shocked.

" No the REAL question is why aren't you at school, not responding to my text and calls, and Natsu and Sting acting weird?" I state hostile.

" He didn't tell you ?"

"Didn't tell me what?"

"Well, S-" she's cut off by a girl's voice, Minerva's.

"Oh Sting you're so cute" Minerva says flirtatiously"

"Lucy do-" Lisanna starts but I run out the condo and go to Wendy's hoping to find an innocent face.

In tears I ring the doorbell and Natsu answers.

"Lucy are you okay?"

I stair him in the face and shake my head no. "Is W-Wendy"I try to choke out the words but the pain is too much thankfully Natsu understood what I was trying to say.

"Sorry, no she's out with Romeo."

"why are you sorry you weirdo." I smile bitterly. "I guess I'll just head home."

Walking away Natsu suddenly yells out"Luce wait do you wanna talk?"

" Yeah thanks." I respond softly.

Once we get in his room he asks me about what I know so I told him what had happened since I left them in the hall. He tells me EVERYTHING some I wished I didn't know. He said that Sting planned to break up with me that morning because Lisanna was too worried about me and him. She had lied and said she caught us kissing and that I smirked and said that I never even cared about the Strauss' and I was using them to get closer to Natsu. She convinced Sting to break it to me gently because whether or not I felt it she still thought of me as her best friend. He told me that he tried to tell Sting it was a lie and that Lisanna and him weren't even dating contrary to popular belief. Sting apparently got mad and told Natsu that his sister is no liar and to stay away from their family while he and his "precious little Luce" can go and publicize their affair. He told me that this morning he made me mad to try and convince Sting nothing romantic was between us. He also and hesitantly told me Lisanna was playing sick for her brother but told him she was out of town and that he had hoped that I would be okay after this.

"Wow" I state in pure shock of how twisted the Strauss siblings were.

"Luce will you be okay to walk home alone it's 9:00 or you could stay the night I'll tell your parents your having a sleepover with Wendy." he asked helpfully.

"Yeah thanks." Just then it thunder boomed and rattled the walls of the house. I call my mom and dad and let them know I'm safe and I'll be at the Dragneels til Monday.

"Oh and Luce?"

"Yeah Natsu ?"

"if you ever need to talk to me I'll be here."

Those words pierced through me in an instant and I knew I'll never be lonely as long as I have Natsu.

"Unh" I smiled brightly and hugged him.
