*Special Thanks for the Reviews, favorites, and follows. It really means a lot to me. It makes me feel needed and I love that people want to read what I have written! THANK YOU! T^T* Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail =(

Summary: Lucy Heartiflia, young and beautiful, but very shy and kind. Everyone including her friends believes she is one of the nicest girls they ever met, so why do they also feel like there is something odd about her? She blames it on her clumsiness, but is that really why she comes to school every day with new or worse cuts and bruises than before? Can this dense pink haired boy be able to save her from the secret she hides?*Rated T for mild language and action* *all my teen characters are 16, but Wendy is 13* *Oh and some people asked me this and yes it's AU and kinda OOC.*

Well here goes chapter eight! Enjoy!

(Lucy P.O.V)

It's been 2 weeks since I came home and everything seems the same. I look at my alarm to see it was 5 AM. I got up to start breakfast for my father. Yup that's right, not only am I his personal punching bag. I'm also his cook and maid.

Before going down stairs I get ready for school. I am able to put my concealer and other make up on since I know he doesn't hit me in the morning during school days. No, he's too smart for that. He knows it would give me very new bruises and cuts that I wouldn't be able to hide in time.

After getting dressed I start to un-wrap my wounds. Since I've been hanging out so long with Mavis-Nee I have become smart towards medical problems, but Wendy-Chan is still better. I start to use consealer on my upper arm to cover the small burn from his cigarette and on my stomach where he kicked me repeatedly. I usually would hiss in pain when touching my new wounds but . . . . . I can't feel them sometimes. I haven't told anyone not even Mavis-Nee about it, but my body is slowly becoming immune to pain. It always hurts at first but then just becomes numb. But I must say my body aches all the time like now. It kind of hurts to move, but it's not like I have a choice.

As I start to do my face I cringe in disgust. When I look in the mirror I just see a girl that shouldn't have been born. This was one of the only things my father and I agree on. I can't believe I even came from my beautiful and graceful mother. I can't even be compared to her. I believe every word my father says about me is true. Actually I know it was all true since I was 11. A ugly disgrace for a daughter. I actually tried to end my life many times. But the one reason I stand here today is because my friends want me to live. I don't want to be the reason for more sorrow so I only go through all this for them. That one fateful day when I met them changed my life and I can never forget it.

(Normal P.O.V)

It was Lucy's first day at Magnolia middle school. The young girl was coming in the middle of the school year so she knew things would be more difficult to lay low till her plan could begin. Yup age 13 was when she first planned to commit suicide. She planned to jump off the school roof top so she could end the pitiful life she lives. Why wouldn't she? Her mother was gone and no family members were left other than her excuse for a father. As she walked into the new school she notice how people were staring at her, some were even blushing. This went un-noticed by her. A light blush came to her face as she noticed the stares she was getting in the halls. She was starting to think there was something wrong with how she put on her uniform or did her hair.

With the school uniform she wore long black stockings. (If you're wondering the uniform looks exactly like from the anime School Days) Her hair was out with a red clip swooping her long bangs to the right and out of her face. She had light make-up on and lip gloss. She went to her class room. As she entered she saw a very weird looking group in the corner of the class room such as a familiar looking blue headed girl reading a book, a pretty but stern looking red head, a short haired whitette talking to her, and two very handsome guys fighting and insulting each other. When people noticed her it got silent and just like in the halls she was being stared at which started to make her feel un-comfortable. Then the teacher came in and sat at his desk in the front of the class. "Please introduce yourself." He said. "Yes sir' Mr. . . . um-" " " "Oh ok, well I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartifilia. Nice to meet you all!" she said with a bright smile before doing a quick bow. Lucy's dad taught her how to show emotions better so no one would suspect a thing and like always that man was right. "Now Lucy-San please sit next him" the teacher said pointing to a pink haired boy who seemed to be asleep. "ok" she said before walking to the seat. If she can just lay low today she can finally end it all.

She noticed the light snoring was gone so when she turned her head towards the pink haired boy he seemed to be staring at her with these deep dark onx-eyes she thought she could become trapped in. He soon had a big goofy grin on his face. "Hey I'm Natsu. You new here?" he whispered to her. Although she wanted to just ignore him she didn't want to be rude. "Yup I'm Lucy. It's nice to meet you."she said with a warm smile before going back to listening not noticing the blush forming on his cheeks. 'her smile is so warm yet lonely.' He thought before going back to sleep.

That was the day when Erza and Natsu dragged her towards their friends to meet them. During the very loud meet and greet she saw that same blue haired girl behind her looking about ready to cry. "L-lu- Chan?" she stuttered out. The rest of the big group just watched in amazement. It wasn't usual for Levy to cry. The said girl's eyes widened in realization from the nickname. "Levy-Chan?" Lucy asked. Without even saying a word she jumped on Lucy making them both fall to the floor. Lucy only smiled a genuine smile and patted her petite friend's back.

After a few minutes they got up and were now being focused on by stares of their companions so Levy sighed and explained how they were very close before she had to move. At the end of the day they became friends which changed up her plans but oh well. She was the only one left at school so she went to the roof. It was time to put her plan in action. As she got up to jump see saw them. In front of her breathing heavily. "We have been looking for you, why are you up here?" Natsu asked her. "Um . . . . I. . . I'm just looking at the sky." She lied. And he could tell. "Look remember, even when you feel lonely you're not, cause you have us!" he said with same smile that made her want to smile also. By now everyone wasn't panting and were now smiling at her.

As they started to walk home together and chatting the blonde stayed quite. 'I have you guys, huh?' she thought with a soft smile appearing on her face.

(Flash Back Over)

Lucy couldn't help but grin at the memory. As she puts the food on the table she grabs her bag and left for school.
