This one broke my heart, but I needed it for story purposes! I promise this will not last!


As I make my way to Xander's room, I sigh listening to my parents scream and shout at each other. I walk into my little brothers room to see him hidden in a corner, holding his pillow tightly. I sit next to him and pull him on my lap softly humming his lullaby and holding him close to me.

"Why are mummy and daddy fighting?" He looks up at me with his brown eyes, tearing up and sniffling, "Was I bad sissy?"

I gasp and look at him shocked. Xander really thought this was his fault? I shake my head and hold him closer.

"No bud, it's just... mummy and daddy.. they just... they're being silly again, okay? None of this is your fault, alright? Now let's get you asleep, It's way past your bed time!" I smile gently and pick him up, gently placing him on the bed and place the pillow underneath his head covering him up with his quilt making him laugh. I smile and gently give him his teddy.

"Sleep tight okay?" He nods and I smile kissing his head, putting his night light on and walking out softly closing the door. I sit at the top of the stairs listening to my parents swear at each other. Orchid comes out of my room and sits on my lap, hugging her close I try not to cry as my mum shouts out something I never expected.

"Maybe I should just take MY kids and leave you!"

I bite my lip and run to my room hiding under the covers and hiding my face in the pillow. I hear running upstairs and Xander's door open, I sniffle and burst out crying. I'm too loud to hear my door open but when I feel my best dip and a large hand on my back I sit up and attack my dad in a hug. I cry into his shoulder and grip his shirt. He rubs my back and hair rocking me and sitting me on his lap.

"It'll be okay squirt... I promise... I-It's just a phase..." I cry more and cling to him, then my mum walks in holding Xander's sleeping form and two small bags. She's been crying and it's clear that she's hurting from this. I look up at my dad, his red eyes are darker and his face is red fro the shouting. In his eyes are also tears My breathe hitches and look up at him and my mum then Xander's sleeping form.

"I'm staying with dad..." My mum looks at me one last time and walks up kissing my head.

"I love you so much, okay baby? So, so much..." She sniffles and walks out. Leaving with Xander...

I lean on my dad and cry more, silently he picks me up and places me in my bed, walking to turn of my lamp and fairy lights climbing into the small bed with me and holding me close. No words are shared as I slowly drift into sleep in my fathers arms as he holds me tightly.

When I wake up, it's 4 AM, my dad's gone but I can here him in his bedroom throwing things, I get up and wonder out to the hall and into the room. He's sat on the bed, the sheets and covers ripped and dents and holes in the walls cover the room. In his hand is a crumpled note, on it is my mums rushed writing. As I walk closer and climb on the bed my dad opens his arms and pulls me into his arms again. I gently take the note an read.

Gajeel,

I've had enough. I can't do this anymore. I'm taking Xander and i'm leaving on the next train out of here, Tell Crys that I will always love her. I'll write to her everyday. Maybe in later years me and you can try again Gajeel... but right now... I just can't. I'm sorry.

Love,

Levy.

Ouch... That hurt...

My mother has just left with my baby brother... my dads mate and wife has just left with his son...

I hug my dad and kiss his cheek.

"Daddy... I love you... i'll never leave you.." He smiles softly and hugs me tighter.

"I know baby.. I know.. lets get to bed... tomorrow.. we can stay in bed and have a lazy day... a daddy-daughter day, yeah?" I nod and cuddle onto him as he walks to the sitting room and gets a big quilt out the cupboard, laying it over us as we lay on the sofa and fall asleep.

Something tells me there's going to be a lot more daddy-daughter days now...
