My eyes opened, blinded by the bright light they faced. I shot up, automatically regretting it as I winced in pain. My whole body ached, especially my arm. I looked around and saw I was in a hospital, how did I get here? I thought I was going to... Oh well, but seriously. How the hell did I end up in the hospital? I thought no one could get in.

"Oh! Ms. Lucy, you're awake," a busty nurse walked into my room, holding a clipboard.

"How did I get here?" I asked her plainly.

"Oh, a pink haired boy brought you here. It was horrible, you were unconscious and had a lot of blood loss, had to give you stitches. Your friends were very worried" she explained, contorting her face.

"Is-Is he here?" I asked her nervously.

"Why yes, him and this small blue haired girl," do you want to see them? They were here all night," she asked as she walked to the door, ready to call for them.

"No!" I called out to desperately. I cleared my throat and spoke calmly this time, "I mean, can I just see the girl for now?" I asked politely.

"Sure thing," she nodded and walked out. I took a deep breath and looked at my arm. It was wrapped in bandages and it ached badly. How could I be so stupid? To come so close to death...

"Lucy!" I heard a familiar voice call out. My head darted up just in time to see Levy wrap me in her arms.

"Hey Levy," I greeted quietly. Man, this is awkward.

"How could you Lucy?! You have so much more to live for! Even if Lisanna and her snobs are bitches and Natsu is an ass, you have me! And Erza and Juvia and others!" Levy cried out. I felt tears fall from my eyes as I clutched onto her desperately.

"I know Levy, I'm sorry," I choked out. For a long while we just sat there, hugging and crying. I can't believe I was about to leave this girl. Levy has only been the kindest to me. And to think that I would hurt her like that.

"So, ummm how did you guys, you know-" I couldn't get the full sentence out.

"Natsu told us he thought you might be in trouble and so we chased after him. We told the others to go find help and me and him went to your house. He broke through your window and we found you there," Levy explained.

"H-have you talked to him," my voice shook as I asked her.

"Not really, he looks really beat down. When I asked him what happened, he just responded with, "I'm such an idiot", and then walked off. I later found out that him and Lisanna kissed from Erza, as she heard from kids at prom," she told me. I shook my head, tears threatening to spill. He kissed her, was imprinted in my mind.

"Umm excuse me. The pink haired boy, he would like to come in, alone," the nurse spoke as she walked in. Levy and I looked at each other and she shrugged and walked out. Was I ready to talk to him?

"Sir, you can come in now," the nurse said as she stepped back into the hallway. I heard rushed steps get louder as he approached the door, then he entered, just standing in front of the now closed door. Natsu looked terrible. His eyes were red and puffy and had bags underneath them. He was still wearing his tux, but it was wrinkled and looked like he had slept in it.

"Luce," he spoke after we just stared at each other. The tears didn't even threaten to spill until he spoke. Once he did, I couldn't hold them back at all. He rushed towards me, ready to hug me but something inside of me stopped him. I pushed his figure away and he staggered back in shock.

"No Natsu," my voice trembled as it spoke.

"Lucy, please listen," he pleaded.

"Natsu, you promised you changed! You didn't! Lisanna and her friends beat me up the day before I went shopping, you know. Then after that I was still taunted and threatened by them. Then at prom, not only did Lisanna threaten me, her friends harassed me while you and her got close! But no, I thought, 'Natsu will be there. Think of Natsu,' and then what happens?! I go to find you kissing her!" I yelled at him. While I yelled and ranted, he just stood there, looking at me in shock.

"Lucy, why didn't you tell me?" his strained voice spoke.

"Because Natsu, I didn't want you to worry! But apparently you didn't care at all," I said, "Now go away. I don't want to see you."

"Lucy, c'mon! It's not what it looked like! You have to listen! Just give me a minute to explain!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Get out!" I screamed. The door burst open and the nurse from before came in.

"Sir, it's time for you to leave now. We need to give Lucy her medication and explain certain situations to her," the nurse said kindly. Natsu just nodded, looked at me, and walked out. I sighed and shook my head.

"Miss, is everything alright?" the nurse asked politely.

"Just great, now what do you need to explain?" I asked.

"Well, due to your current situation, it isn't good for you to be home by yourself or going to school with everyone right now. So, your father is going to take you home in a couple of days and you will be home schooled until we feel you are mentally ready to go back. You will also be required to attend this support group twice a week," the nurse informed me, holding out some papers to me. I took them and read all the information on them. No way, I really had to go back.

"Isn't there anyone else I can stay with?" I asked in desperation.

"No, you have to stay with your legal guardian," she said. I nodded and set the papers down. "Can my friend, Levy, come back in?" I asked.

"Yes, just take this medicine first," the nurse held out two pills and a purple liquid to me. I took all of them, my face puckering at the nasty taste. Then, Levy entered with a weary look.

"What's up?" I asked her.

"Natsu stormed off to I don't know where. He looked mad," the bluenette said.

"We have other things to worry about," I brushed off Natsu. Well, at least it seemed like that. I imagined his mad expression and longed to hug him and make him smile. But I couldn't do that. He doesn't deserve it.

"Like what?"

"I have to go back to my father's and I can't go to our school anymore," I sighed.

"What?!" Levy exclaimed. "Lu-chan you can't go!"

"I don't want to, but I guess that's what I get for making this mistake," I held up my arm and smiled weakly. I felt my body growing tired, probably a side effect of the medicine.

"Well, you have to promise that you will come back as soon as possible," Levy pouted, causing me to laugh.

"Oh course, and I will keep in contact with you every single day," I told her.

"Good," she smiled at me.

"I also have to go to a stupid group therapy, support group thing," I said with a bored tone.

"Oh well maybe you will meet someone there," she said with optimism.

"Ehh," I sighed. My body grew so tired I could barley keep my eyes open. Levy noticed this.

"Well, I better let you sleep, I'm going to go home and shower," she stood up.

"Okay, bye Levy," my tired voice yawned.

"Bye Lucy," she waved and then I fell asleep.
