"Wait what?" Natsu said looking outside the car window. They were indeed surrounded by bikers.

All of them Lucy knew.

"Hey wasn't he at the strip club?" Gray asked noticing a man with blonde hair get off his bike and make his way towards the car.

Lucy backed away from Natsu, her back against the car door.

The car door that just flew open.

The man reached over, unbuckled Lucy's seat belt, then pulled her out of the car.

"Lucy!" Natsu yelled as the man held her wrist, snarled at her, then threw her to the ground.

"You little b^tch!" the blonde haired man screamed at her. She looked up in pure terror.

Natsu quickly unbuckled his own seat belt and got out of the car. Gray did the same.

"What the h^ll leave her alone!" Natsu yelled at the blonde haired man. Just who the h^ll did he think he was? Anyone who hurt Lucy had to deal with him.

And those people usually ended up in the hospital.

"You're that b^stard the kidnapped my girlfriend!" the man growled at Natsu, his attention turning to him instead of Lucy.

Girlfriend?

Lucy...was dating somebody?

"I-I didn't want too. He made me. He was mad I was hanging out with you. He hit me for it. Then he made me go to the strip club with him. He made me strip in front of all those people. He says he loves me. He says I love him too. But I don't know. I just don't know! I'm so confused Natsu."

Someone who didn't treat her properly.

Someone who doesn't love her.

Someone who lies to her.

Someone Natsu was about to punch out.

Natsu wasn't the one who threw the first punch though.

000

Lucy was sitting on the ground with a scraped knee as she watched Natsu and Zancrow fight.

It was tearing her emotions apart.

Her friend that she had longed to see, fighting her boyfriend that she longed not to see.

"Gray?" Lucy said looking at him who was just watching the fight. She had no idea if Natsu was actually good at fighting, but she knew that Zancrow was.

"He'll win, he always does. Except against me of course...and the she-devil." Gray shuddered at the last part.

She-devil?

Who was that?

Before Lucy could ask, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"You're coming with me while those two settle out their little argument." Ultears voice said from behind Lucy. She started to pull Lucy towards her own bike but Gray stepped in front of her.

"She isn't going anywhere she doesn't want to."

Lucy didn't understand this. Why were Natsu and Gray sticking up for her?

Is that what friends do?

Erza and them did that back in high school didn't they?

Has Zancrow?

Has Zancrow every stuck up for her?

Or at least complimented her?

Well he's called her a 'hot trophy' before.

Was that a compliment?

"You aren't a part of this at all, so I suggest you leave." Ultear stated calmly staring directly at Gray.

"Actually when you guys start to harass MY friend, I think I am part of it." Gray said firmly.

Did he really care for Lucy?

Did Natsu care for Lucy?

Why, why would they care for her?

She's done nothing for them.

"Meredy please teach this pest a lesson." Ultear commanded and the pink haired girl who was the bar nodded, then started to approach Gray.

"I'm not going to fight the little gi- OW!" Gray started to jump up and down holding his shin, where Meredy just kicked him.

Meredy threw in a few more punches that Gray was able to dodge, then he started to fight back.

Ultear dug her nails into Lucy's shoulder making her bleed a bit. Natsu seemed to notice the red liquid dripping down her shoulder too.

"Luce!" he yelled looking over at her, giving Zancrow enough time to send Natsu a punch to the head. A big blow.

She called out his name but Ultear put her hand over Lucy's mouth.

Lucy looked over at everyone else, Zancrow's friends, they showed no expression on their faces.

Were they bored, pleased, annoyed?

Lucy had no idea, she didn't know how people be so emotionless sometimes.

Then she remembered herself.

That she hid her feelings from the world, from herself.

Not this time though.

This time she was going to stick up for her friend.

For Natsu.

Lucy bit Ultears hand making Ultear release her. Then Lucy darted towards Zancrow as he closed in on Natsu who was unconscious. She quickly jumped on Zancrow's back, startling him.

"What the h^ll you b^tch?" Zancrow yelled then reached his arms behind him trying to grab Lucy.

"Please, leave him alone I'll go back with you." Lucy whispered into his ear.

"Then you can punish me for disobeying you and I won't fight back." Lucy promised. Zancrow smirked wickedly. He nodded, so Lucy got off of him, then they started walking over to his motorcycle.

Lucy knew she was going to regret those words but she didn't know how much.

"Meredy come on we're going." Zancrow said looking over at the pink haired girl, who had her legs entangled around Grays stomach and was punching his head.

Meredy looked over at Zancrow then backflipped off of Gray. Gray started rubbing his head, the spots where Meredy was punching him.

Lucy hesitantly got on the bike with Zancrow wrapping her arms around him.

Only so she wouldn't fall off.

No, because today she felt her real feelings for Zancrow.

They were disgust.

It's been awhile hasn't it?

I'm sorry I've been so busy and yesterday I went skiing with my friends! It was actually the second time I've gone skiing. I did the Russian splits there...BY ACCIDENT.

It hurt so much.

I also did a bunch of jumps (remember second time skiing) and landed three of them (if you count landing as long as I'm still going down the hill with my skis, yeah I was in a sitting position for two of them..)

Anyways see yeah later.
