A/N: Oh, my dear readers. I'm so sorry for the late update. This chapter is really short too…

A few days ago my best friend told me she was thinking about attempting suicide again, and I just totally freaked and haven't had the time to write this.

Oh my. Orientation is next week, I spent so much money on books and uniforms and god. Life is a mess at the moment. So sorry for the late update, and as always, thanks for reviewing! You guys rock! c:

"J-Jellal! What...What the hell happened?"

He looked up at her, his injuries even more prominent now.

"You know. I just uh...fell."

Scarlet raised a questioning eyebrow, not buying one bit of it.

"Oh yeah, and since when did people get black eyes from falling? What did you fall on?"

"Um. Something...big. And uh...hard. Yeah. Something big and hard."

She scoffed and ran a gentle finger down his scarred face, only to see him flinch.

"Sorry...Are you alright? I don't think you should be in school. I'll walk you back to your dorm."

"No, Erza, I'm fine. Thanks for the concern though."

Erza sneered and took his hand in hers. He looked wide eyed at her as she looked sweetly at him.

"Really? Then I suppose this..."

His face visibly paled and she squeezed his arm tightly, causing him to double over and grimace.

"...doesn't hurt?" she finished.

He chuckled softly, obviously with much difficult as he rubbed his bruised and now sprained wrist.

"Ok, ok. You got me. Walk me back?" Jellal grinned at her childishly.

"Sure. But tell me, what really happened?"

"Nothing. I told you. I fell on something really big and really hard. Thus causing me to gain all the minor injuries I have."

Erza tapped her foot impatiently and crossed her arms.

"We both know that's bull."

Jellal gasped mockingly, "Miss Scarlet! What kind of language do you think you're using on school grounds?"

The redhead smiled, softly pushing him towards the gate.

"Then let's get off school grounds so I can curse you out all the way to the boy's dormitory."

As they walked back, Erza was supporting his limp steps and his arm was around her shoulder so he could stay upright.

"So, Jellal. Who did this to you? And I'm serious. If you don't tell me, I'll let go of you right now and walk away."

She felt him tense and after a few moments of silence, he sighed. "I...I don't know."

"Come on. How can you not know?"

"I. Um. Yesterday after classes, Ultear was waiting outside the gates..."

"God no. Jellal, why would you go anywhere with that whore?"

"Let me finish! I told her that I was busy but she insisted that we had dinner and a few drinks. I felt bad about rejecting her so I agreed."

"That little bitch..."

"And we were drinking lemonade."

"Lemonade...?"

"Yeah. Well I don't know what that shit was because I passed out and when I woke up I was in this abandoned warehouse."

"How original."

"That's what I thought! It was dark. Really dark. Scary too. Really scary..."

"I get it! It was really dark and really scary and you fell on something really big and really hard. Now continue!"

"Right. And suddenly 2 dark figures began beating me. I don't vividly remember their silhouettes but I remember hearing them talk. One of them sounded like a blown up 5 year old and the other one sounded like he was on crack."

Erza seethed through her teeth. "Kain."

"Kain? WHO'S KAIN? IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND?"

She looked at him harshly, "No, is he yours? Shall I tell Zeref that you're cheating on him?"

"I DON'T LIKE ZEREF."

"And I believe you."

"You do?"

Erza replied playfully, trying to hide her anger inside. Kain Hikaru, Ultear, and Mockingbird, you are going down.

"Yeah. You loooooooooooove Zeref."

"Not funny."

Their pointless conversation about Jellal's infatuation with senior male, Zeref, continued until they reached his dorm. Scarlet bade him goodbye and walked back to school, thinking of 1,000 ways to kill Ultear.

That skank!

She let out a heaving sigh. Dammit, why did Jellal even go with her in the first place? Fucking Ultear. Fucking Jellal. Fucking Kain Hikaru. Fucking mockingbird.

The rest of her day was far from pleasant. The student council was so busy making plans for the upcoming festival. Even though she'd hate to admit it, she missed Levy's sexual harassment. And Lucy's clueless comments. She especially missed Mira's "tea" at the moment.

He had gotten hurt. Jellal had gotten hurt. All because of her. His beautiful face was now blemished with bruises and cuts. The majority of his face became the same color as his tattoo.

Her relationship with Jellal was...complicated so to say. She had helped him. He had never forgotten it, and seemed to be living his life to repay her.

Before Jellal became president, he lived by the alias Siegrein. Siegrein was Zeref's right hand man. Currently, Zeref is still one of the most feared gang leaders in Fiore.

Everything in the underworld society, drugs, cons, illegal transactions, beatings, you name it. You could bet all the money in the world that Jellal-no, that Seigrein did it.

At the time, Erza was the head of another one of the strongest groups in Fiore. The 2 never came face to face. Both gangs resided in the same school, and each respected that.

But Gray had thought that she was getting herself into too much shit, and eventually talked her out of being in the gang. He changed her, he was her lifesaver. Seeing how much trouble Siegrein was getting into, she spent several months convincing him about dropping it all.

Erza was his lifesaver.

And he had stuck with her like glue ever since. Jellal had abolished his image as Seigrein and worked his ass off to become student council president. He figured this was one of the ways he could atone for his sins.

Ugh. Speaking if sins and hell, Erza Scarlet needed to drown herself in alcohol right now. Maybe she would find Cana. And after a few shots, she'd go and screw Ultear over. Yeah. That sounded like a plan.

But of course, the little whore has telepathic powers and came to Erza instead. God damn her life.

She said smoothly, her words flowing out like water. Icky, gicky, poisonous water.

"Erza."

"Ultear."

"Let's talk."

"Let's not."

"Why don't we meet Jellal?"

Erza narrowed her eyebrows. "He's in his dorm…"

Ultear laughed a little too loud to be categorized as sane laughter. "Oh, Erza. Your trust in him never ceases to amaze me. I have Jellal. He came with me."

A/N: Wah. Some past about Erza and Jellal. I will not be making any Grayza fluffs with the intention of making Grayza fluffs haha. If there are, it's for the main purpose of making poor Jellal jealous. Sorry Grayza fans lol.

I didn't really like this chapter. Oh well. I usually never like them. Letters to Erza will probably be up in a few days along with Laissez Faire. Thanks for reading, review please c:
