Hi! You probably just want to read the chapter, so I'll get out of your way. Enjoy!

Chapter Thirteen

Normal P.O.V.

Beep… Beep… Beep…

Natsu sat next to the bed, holding her hand. His eyes were filled with the few tears he had yet to shed.

She was lying there, lifeless. Her body cold. Her eyes were shut, and nobody knew if they would open again.

Natsu's P.O.V.

The only way that I knew that she was alive was the constant beeping of the heart monitor. The only color that her body held on to were the bruises. There were so many bruises and bumps. But, the worst was that she might not come back. She might never wake up. I might never see those bright brown orbs filled with happiness again. She might never say my name again. I might lose her.

Sobs racked my body as I thought of the worst. Tears fell onto her hand that I was holding. I sniffled as I felt a warm hand on my back.

"She'll be okay," Jude said. "I just know it. Lucy-she's a fighter. She has been her whole life. She'll be okay." He smiled slightly as he left the room again.

I thought about all the times that Lucy had shown strength. When others called her names, and pushed her down. When she watched the boy she loved kiss another girl. When she broke up with that boy. When she tried to talk to everyone after Homecoming. When she talked to me, just days before. And, I knew in my heart, she had shown strength that night at Homecoming, I just wasn't there to see it.

I didn't want her to go, to leave. I couldn't live without the girl with sunshine hair. The girl with the chocolate eyes. The girl that constantly smelled like vanilla and strawberries, and brightened everybody's day.

I couldn't smile without her.

I couldn't laugh without her.

I couldn't see without her.

I couldn't hear without her.

I couldn't move without her.

I couldn't love without her.

Levy's P.O.V.

I could see Natsu through the window, holding Lucy's hand. He had fallen asleep next to her. I smiled seeing how much he loved her.

I felt guilty about what had happened. When Lucy tried to talk to me earlier that week, I wanted to talk back, but I thought that I would lose everyone else if I did. I was a coward. A stupid coward, and if I had just talked to her, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess. Maybe Lucy would be awake, and happy. But now, she might never be happy, or awake, again.

Taking a deep breath, I walked into the room, and shook Natsu's shoulder. Groggily, he looked up at me. I gave him a small smile as he started to wake up.

"What're you doing here?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.

"I came to see Lucy." Another deep breath. "Natsu, I think there's more to what happened at Homecoming. Lucy wouldn't-"

"I know Levy," he sighed. "I figured that out right before," he gestured at Lucy's broken form.

I cleared my throat to keep it from cracking. "Why, um, why don't you go home, get something to eat, and take a shower. I'll stay here with her."

Natsu started to protest, but before he could get the words out, I had pushed him out the door, and locked it. I took his place next to Lucy.

"Hey, Lu. I'm really sorry."

Erza's P.O.V.

I walked through the white, sterile halls of the hospital. I saw Natsu leaving Lucy's room. Something had been up with him, that was the only reason I'd gone. I was still pissed at Lucy for what she had done. I mean, I never thought in a million years that Lucy would do such a thing, but Natsu saw it with his own eyes.

"Why were you in there?" I asked as I approached the pinkette.

He looked up at me with wild eyes. "Because Lucy's hurt, and she's in there."

"But what about what she did to you? She cheated on you! You saw her!" No, he couldn't be forgiving her now. Not after I yelled at her. Not after I told her off. I started to feel very guilty about what I had done.

Natsu pinned me to the wall, and he spoke under his breath. "There's more to what happened, I know it. So, if you're here, then I expect you to go in there because you care about her. If you don't want to, then I suggest you get the hell out of this hospital."

He didn't wait to see what I would do, he just left. I gulped as I thought over what he had said. It was true, I suspected that something more had happened that night, but my extremely logical brain told me that it was impossible, that Natsu had seen it happened. But I guess if he thought there could be more to it, then so could I. I was relieved that Lucy hadn't done those things, but a part of me still told me not to hold out so much hope for which there was a small chance. So, I left.

But, before I did, I whispered,"I'm sorry, Lucy."

Natsu's P.O.V.

I raced home after my confrontation with Erza. I was a bit harsh, but I knew that she would come to her senses. Even if she didn't enter that room, I knew that she knew that Lucy was, in fact, the person she was when we met her, not the person we thought she was after Homecoming. The happy, beautiful girl that light up the world.

As soon as I reached my house, I bolted upstairs, through the shower, pulled on some clothes, grabbed some food, and I was back in the car. Soon enough, I was back at the hospital.

Lucy's P.O.V.

It hurt. It all hurt. Everything hurt.

My head, my arms, my legs, my hands, my heart. It all hurt.

I debated whether or not to do it, to open my eyes. I knew the situation I was in. I couldn't how if I tried, I just knew. And, I knew that I had to wake up. I had to go back to the world of he living for everyone that I loved, even if they didn't love me. Even if it would be so much easier to just let go. I reasoned that if I still wanted to, I could always come back here, even though I knew I wouldn't be back again until I had no choice.

So, I gathered up every ounce of strength that I had, and I opened my eyes. But something was wrong. They wouldn't open. No matter what I tried, I couldn't see a thing, I couldn't open my eyes.

Then, I realized they were open, when somebody said,"Luce, you're awake!"

So... how was it? What do you think is going on with Lucy? I think you can probably figure it out, but if not, my lips are sealed. I really hope you liked this chapter, with all of the different perspectives of what happened to Lucy. I wanted to show how a few of her best friends reacted to the accident. So, yes, she was hit by a car, if that wasn't clear. But, no, I'm not telling the extent of her injuries yet (if you haven't figured them out). Please just keep on reading, you know, if you like it!
