Lucy's POV

The school's gates inched ever closer. I felt nervousness fill my mind. Why am I nervous? This happens every day. Are you nervous for him? I knew we were inside when I heard people's whispers.

"Slut."

"B*tch"

"Bimbo."

"Whore." They went on and on. Then, everyone stopped, for some weird reason. I looked behind me to see Natsu, giving them all the evilest evil eye ever. I laughed to myself. Then I heard her voice.

"Lucy~" she cooed. Her voice was so sweet, it was weird to think that she was the one who ruined my school life. "Come over here~" it called again. Suddenly, as I was about to walk over, I felt a presence in front of me. I looked up noticing the pink haired boy who had found his way in front of me.

"You'd better leave right now," he asserted.

"Or what?" she challenged. I couldn't see his face, but I knew there was a fire in his eyes, like the one from my dreams. All of a sudden my brain started going a thousand miles a minute, predicting every action that each side would make. She could act all innocent to the principal like she didn't know a thing about it. I need to catch her on tape. I quickly fumbled inside my pocket for my phone, switching to the camera. I didn't point it at her face, that would be too obvious. The phone merely recorded the ground, the voices the only thing seen

"Just don't test me, leave Lucy alone and we can both walk out unharmed," he threatened.

"Natsu.." the sound came out breathy, barely even a whisper.

"Aww, but Lucy is like my little punching bag, also I wouldn't go around threatening me either, just a warning," she coaxed, her goons, jocks, moving forward, their fist shoved into their open palm.

"I'm not really one for fighting girls, but if I have to, I won't hesitate, consider that my warning," he scoffed. "C'mon Luce, let's go," his arm found its way around my shoulder, forcing me closer to his chest. I looked up, to see him looking straight forward, then his gaze shifted over to me, sending me a warm smile.

"She's gonna try and get you in trouble with the principal," I stated plainly. He looked away from me, his look returning to its former serious self.

"I know," he replied, the same tone as before.

"I have proof against her," I stated again, his eyes lighting up.

"Really?!" he almost squealed like a little girl.

"Yeah, so if she tries anything, I can send her the video," I explain. He looked at me with a borderline confused look.

"Hasn't she done enough?!" he nearly yells. It reminds me of my dad when he was with me alone. Memories start flooding in of my dad when he was around. When he was with my mom, he was a different person, then when he was just with me... I felt salty tears slide down my face. As soon as I realized I was crying, I tried to look away from Natsu, but then I felt a warm hand on the side of my face. It slowly turned my head toward Natsu, his smile different than before. It was more of a comforting smile, not like his signature grin. With the same hand that was touching my face, he wiped off my tears with his thumb. My orbs got bigger, like the puppy dog eyes you gave your parents when you wanted candy, except less puppy, more thanks. He cares, right? When did I ever know anything about people caring, the only people who ever cared about me died? I wanted to hug him, I wanted to cry, I wanted to say thank you, I wanted to go home... I ran up to him like before, encasing him in a hug, burying my head into his chest, crying into his shirt. I felt him flinch when I first hugged him, but soon after, two warm hands found their way onto the backside of my torso.

"Thank you..." I whispered into his shirt, the sound coming out muffled.

"I told you before, anytime," he replied, his chin resting on my head.

(A/N: Sorry if this was a bit shorter than usual, I'm kinda running out of ideas. Speaking of ideas, since I have finally posted all the chapters that I have written in Docs, I really need ideas for the story, so I decided to ask you guys about it! Where do you guys want me to take the story, and if I find any I like, I'll most likely base my story off of it. Also since I have caught up on all the chapters, updates will take a bit longer, but I will try to make them as organized as possible, for right now you guys can assume that every Monday I will have a new chapter! That way I get a week to write these soooo, Yeah! Anyway review, give me your ideas weekly updates, Have an AWESOME day!)
