This is the sixteenth chapter! I hope you like it! Sorry for taking so long so just in case I'll out a recap on so you remember!

Recap: "Oh, mom, Natsu, Happy, Gray, Jellal, come out of the closest!" I say calmly.

They come out, but Happy is hiding behind Natsu who was hiding, with Gray, behind Jellal who was hiding behind mom who was trying NOT to laugh at the boys.

"This house better be spotless when I wake up!" I yell.

"A-aye!" Happy and Happy 2 (Natsu) say, and run downstairs with Gray and Jellal right behind them. Am I that scary?

"Do you think they know the house cleaner is coming tomorrow?" mom asks me.

"Nope!" I say cheerfully.

Ch. 16

Lucy's P.O.V,

BEEP! BEEP!
This again? Stupid alarm clock!

BEEP! BE-CRASH!

Much better! I was just dozing off when,

SPLASH!

I shot up. Cold! This water is cold! I look up just in time to see Natsu disappearing through the door. HE'S DEAD! I run down stairs as fast as I could.

"NATSU!" I scream and keep looking for him.

"He left saying something about not wanting to go to the ER," Gray said from the couch. Left? Why would he leave this early? SHIT SCHOOL! I run back up stairs, and put on my black shirt that says, *Caution I bite!* on the front and says *Warning: Do Not, I repeat, DO NOT come near me unless you've had all the necessary shots!* on the back. Then I put on my black yoga pants that say 'Demon' across the butt. I put my hair in pigtails and run back down stairs.

RING! RING!

"I'll get it!" I yell and run for the House Phone.

"Hello, Fullbuster Dragoneel and Scarlet residence!" I say politely.

"You forgot Heartfilia," a voice says. I froze. No one, not even Natsu and Gray, knows my last name or my past before Natsu and Gray became my brothers.

"Who is this?!" I yell. Mom, Gray, Happy, and Jellal run in.

"He's coming for you! So be prepared," and the line went dead. I drop the phone. He can't mean my father. Can he?

"Lucy, are you alright?" mom asks.

"No, I feel light-headed," I say weakly.

"Here, sit down," Jellal helps me sit on the newly repaired couch.

"I'm leaving," Gray says and kisses my forehead, "I know you'll be alright. You can tell Natsu and me later." Then Happy and he left. I stand up only to fall back down. Shit! This is going to affect me, bad! Mom and Jellal help me into mom's bed.

"We have to go to work. Can you handle this?" mom asks.

"Yeah, have fun," I say.

"It's work! How can it be fun?" She asks.

I decided I didn't want her to worry so I asked, "Don't get caught?"

"Doing what?" she asks.

I turn over; snuggle with a pillow, and say, "Jellal!"

Gray's P.O.V,

It has to have something to do with her past. I know her well enough to know she's not scared of anything else. Well, maybe she's scared of mom, but not THAT scared. I know she was scared, so bad that she almost fainted! I walk in Mirajane's class.

"Natsu, come here!" I yell.

He glares, "I don't have to listen to you!"

"It's about Project LP!" I say.

"Aye!" Happy says above me.

"Okay!" he runs out the door, and I follow him. LP stands for Lucy's Past. We know nothing about Lucy from before we met her. We brought it up once at the orphanage, and she ran out the room and we didn't see her for a week.

"What happened?" Natsu asks.

"Lucy, got a phone call, and then she almost fainted," I say.

"How come she almost fainted?" he asks.

"I don't know, but I bet it had to do with her past. You know how she is about it," I say.

"Aye!" Happy says.

"We need to watch her more closely from now on," I say.

"Yeah, come on class is starting," Natsu says. I nod. I hope my sister is safe, but right now I'm off to see my girlfriend.

Lucy's P.O.V,

I was pretty sure I was dreaming. I saw my old school on fire, the one I had when I was six, and nobody was in sight. Then all of a sudden, there was a bright light, and I was back in the orphanage. I saw me as a little girl standing by the desk with… my father. His cold blue eyes glaring at me. 'My' innocent brown eyes looked at him confused.

"Daddy, why are you leaving me?" mini me asked.

He looked 'me' dead in the eyes while glaring, and said the last thing my father ever told me. He said, "Because you're worthless, and you are NOT my daughter, you are dead to me. People like you don't deserve happiness."

"DADDY!" both me and mini me scream.

I woke up gasping. 'Deep breath' I told myself. I look at the clock on mom's night stand. '12:00' it read. I get up when I heard my phone beep. '10 new messages' it read. What the hell? It's not even 1:00 yet! Better text them back.

1.)From Levy, to Lucy,

Where are you? Are you okay? Everyone's worried about you! Please text me back!

~I'm not a bookworm, just smart~

To Levy, From Lucy,

I'm at home. I'm fine so don't worry.

~Nya~:3Meow!

2.) From Juvia, To Lucy,

Juvia has been worried since Juvia didn't see you. Gray comforted Juvia so Juvia is okay now. Juvia is bringing people over to see you today. Feel Better!

~Drip Drop~ Gray's one and only~

To Juvia, From Lucy,

I'm sorry for worrying you. You don't have to bring anybody, but if you do, I'll see you later.

~Nya~:3Meow!

3.) From Loki, to Lucy,

Are you okay, Princess? I asked Natsu and Gray, but they said, and I quote, 'leave our sister alone!' and then tried to beat me up. I'm glad I can outrun them because if I couldn't, I'd be dead.

~I'm sexy and I know it!~

To Loki, from Lucy,

I'm okay. Yes, you would be dead, and they're just worried me so ignore them! And about your signature. Really? I'm sexy and I know it, really?

~Nya~:3Meow!

4.)From Lisanna, to Lucy,

OMG! Are you okay? I'm really worried. I have the greatest news! Natsu asked me out! But I'm sad because you're not here! Please feel better and come back.

~Natsu's girlfriend!~

To Lisanna, from Lucy,

I'm okay so don't be sad. That's Awesome! Maybe one day Juvia and you will be my sister-in-laws!

~Nya~:3Meow!

5.) From Sherry, to Lucy,

6.) From Lyon, to Lucy,

LUCY, PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE ALRIGHT! ARE YOU IM THE HOSIPITAL? OMG! IT'S YOUR HEART, ISN'T IT?
OMG! DON'T DIE!

To Lyon, from Lucy,

LYON CALM DOWN! I'm okay! I'm at home, and I'm not going to die! Now take a deep breath and calm down!

~Nya~:3Meow!

7.) From Gazeel, to Lucy,

You okay, bunny girl? Lyon's crying like a baby because you aren't here. If you aren't here tomorrow, I'm going to drag you here, understand?

~Metal eater~

To Gazeel, From Lucy,

I'm okay, but DON'T CALL ME BUNNY GIRL! And I dare you to try to drag me because I will hurt you!

~Nya~:3Meow!

8.) From Mirajane, to Lucy,

You weren't in class today, are you okay? At first, I thought you were skipping class so I called Erza and she told me you were sick. Hurry and get better!

~Match maker~

To Mirajane, from Lucy,

I'm okay, and when have I ever skipped?

~Nya~:3Meow!

9.) From Markrov, to Lucy,

I found out you weren't here so I called Erza. She said you almost fainted, are you okay?

~I'm not a pervert! I just have good taste~

To Markrov, from Lucy,

I'm okay, Gramps! And yes you are a pervert!

~Nya~:3Meow!

10.) From Hikibi, to Lucy,

You okay? I haven't seen your beautiful face today.

~me being a playboy is for all the women in need~

To Hikibi, from Lucy,

I'm fine, but you might not be if Gray or Natsu find out you called me beautiful because they would kill you!

~Nya~:3Meow!

Wow, I can't believe they're all worried about me. I stand up and take my hair down then I brush it. Since I'm alone, I'll explore the town a little. There's a store, I pass by every day. I'm going to see what's in there.

Gosh I hope mom doesn't find out I left. She'll kill me then bring me back to life just so she can kill me again!

That's the end of the chapter! I hope you liked it!
