Hello everyone!
I'm back with a new chapter!
This chapter is from Laxus pov. And from this chapter and forward, I will write the name in the beginning of the chapter that we will follow.
If I change the person under the chapter, you will notice, promise!
Have a happy reading! :)
LAXUS
Earlier that day…
"Mira" he said as he opened the door to the car. Today is the day when they finally are going to bring Lucy home. He will never, ever let someone do that to her again. He won, he is finally able to get Lucy home again.
Mira hummed in response.
"I want you to take Lucy out shopping on Sunday." He said and started the car.
"Oh, that's sound perfect Laxus!" Mira responded happily.
"Mira, it's not you who is going to shop. You are going to help Lucy. I don't care what she wants, how much it's cost. I pay for it. This Sunday is for her, not you."
"I know, I know. Don't worry I'm going to help her. And it's not only this Sunday that's hers. Every day from now is hers. Think about it, she is eighteen and finally free. So much she wishes to know, to do. And I will be there for her when she needs me"
He doesn't say anything, but smiles. Because she is right. Every day from now is hers.
'Mavis Private School for Young Women' is located in Clover town and is several hours away from Magnolia. So the journey is long and boring.
Even the weather is changing in front of their eyes during the journey. At home in Magnolia is it almost always sunshine and nice weather. Their winter is not cold and they have no snow. During their winter, it is common that it's raining but the heat never leaves.
In Clover town, however, is it cold and gray. Here it is late winter now.
"How can people like to stay here in this chilly city" he hears Mira mumble to herself.
He doesn't answer her, because he is too nervous to actually say something. They are getting closer and closer to Lucy and he just wants to hit the gas pedal and arrive.
When they finally arrive, he sees Lucy standing outside the school. He wants nothing more than to run to her, embrace her and never let go.
He feels when Mira takes his hand in hers and squeezes it. He turns his look to her and sees that she is smiling at him. Her eyes tells him everything, she knows how much this means to him and he is really happy that she is here to share this with him.
The short walk up to Lucy feels like an eternity, but he does everything to look calm. But he knows thanks to Mira's smile that she knows that he is far from calm.
He can see that Lucy is smiling now, and it makes him really happy to see. He can see that she is happy to finally be free.
They are finally standing in front of her and the last thing he sees is Lucy running against him. Then he feels her in his arms. He can barely hear her through her tears, but she is thanking him.
He hears Mira beside them but choose to ignore her. He hugs Lucy harder, then he says something he has wanted to say since the day she set her foot here:
"Welcome home sister" he whispers in her ear. "Welcome to your new life"
He sees how eager she is to finally leave this place. To pack her stuff in the car goes fast, the only thing she has that she wants to save is a box. A box with all his letters…
It pains him to see that she doesn't have anything in her possession. But he is going to change that.
When they finally are back in the car, and on the way home, can Laxus for the first time in twelve years really smile a real smile. A burden that has been pressing on his shoulders has finally been released and he has finally calm heartbeats.
Now can even he live for real.
"Lucy." He said and smiled when he saw her in the rearview mirror. "You get to choose dinner tonight, whatever you want. We are going to celebrate tonight."
He sees Lucy smile back at him. "Pizza." said Lucy and he can hear Mira giggling beside him.
"It sounds perfect. We can order different pizzas so you can get to taste."
"Really?" said Lucy and he could really hear the happiness in her voice.
"Absolutely."

"I hope you will like your room Lucy." said Mira when they were back in Magnolia. They stood finally outside their apartment.
Their apartment is quite big. Two floors and a small garden.
"Your room is here." he said and pointed at a door. Lucy walked over there and opened the door.
"Wow." he expected that she would be surprised. When you have shared a room with several people before and just had a hard bed, then you get surprised when you see a large room, a large and comfortable bed.
"Wait until you see your wardrobe." He heard Mira say in the background. Lucy turned around with big eyes and looked confused at both of them. Mira pointed at a door inside her room.
Lucy walked over and opened the door and Laxus couldn't stop laughing when he saw her expression. It looked like her eyes were going to plop out.
"Do you like it?" asked Mira and joined her in her walk-in closet.
"Yes!" Lucy shouted out happily and he was so happy to see her like this.
"But… I don't have any clothes for something this big." Lucy added and looked down sadly.
"You will soon." He said and push her lightly with his shoulder.
She looked confused at him.
"We are going shopping!" said Mira eagerly.
"Really!?" said Lucy and smiled big at her.
"Absolutely! Unfortunately, we have to wait until Sunday, but then you and me will have a whole day for shopping!" answered Mira and smiled at her.
"Sunday? Why not tomorrow?"
"Because tomorrow begins my football season again and there's someone who longed to meet you." he said and smiled at her. "I hope it's okay."
"Oh. I guess it is." Said Lucy and scratched her head. "I just don't know anything about football." She added and blushed.
"Ah, sweetheart you don't need to know anything, I don't. I just cheer for Laxus." Said Mira and giggled.
He just shook his head.
"You will even be able to meet a few students that is going in Magnolia High. I think it will make your first day easier, to have a few faces that you at least recognize."
"Oh, okay." Said Lucy nervously.
He can understand that she is nervous, she has never gone in a public school and she has never met any boys besides him.
Well, that's a problem for later. Anyway, Lucy is home again...
Please leave reviews about what you think. :)
It helps me become a better writer.
This chapter took its time. I sat and thought long at whose pov I would write from.
A) Mira, her sight to see Laxus and Lucy rejoin.
B) Lucy, see what it feels like for her to get out of there and finally have a real home.
C) Laxus, which I chose. Laxus will be a person that no one want to make angry and therefore I wanted to show that he has a soft side to his sister.
Hope you liked it!
Until next time :)
