"Lucy! Hurry, we need to get you to your group counseling!" my dad called from outside my door. I checked myself in the mirror and sighed. Why did I have to go to this stupid thing anyway? It's not like it's going to help me in any way. Plus, I have already made the goal not to cut again. After being so close to death and seeing the people who cared for me.

I walked out the door and my father followed behind me as I climbed down the stairs and to the car. To save me from more embarrassment, he was driving me in a normal car. I got into the passenger side and put one of my ear buds in my ear and left the other out as I played my music. My father got in on the other side and then we were off. The whole car ride we didn't say anything to each other, me consumed in my music and my father focusing on the road.

When we arrived, my father tried to encourage me but I just ignored him and said a simple,"Bye." I wasn't excited for this and I don't understand why I had to go. But still, I walked into the small building and followed my way to the meeting room. There, we some teens around my age and an adult who looked like the group leader. She had nice figure and dark hair. When I walked in, she smiled.

"Welcome Lucy, I'm Ultear," she welcomed and gestured for me to sit down. I sat down next to a girl that wore a cat shirt and had red marks on her face. On my other side, was a boy that had blonde hair and was tanner than tan.

"Now everyone, we have a new girl,Lucy, here today. Now Lucy, each of us here have our own problems that may not relate to yours. This support group is for teens who have had rough times in their life. So, we will share with the group our feelings and other things concerned," Ultear explained. "Now, you will start by sharing with the group why you are here."

I stood up and thought of rude things in my head. Why did I have to share? It wasn't any of their business. "I'm here because I cut and if it wasn't for certain people, I'd be dead right now," I said flatly.

"Now Lucy, tell us why you harmed yourself and what made you feel like this. Now, I know you may feel embarrassed but don't worry. No one here will judge you. Will we?" Ultear asked the group. Everyone in the group agreed with Ultear and I felt the girl next to me touch my hand lightly.

"It's okay Lucy," she assured. I tried to imagine she was Levy reassuring me, but a certain pink boy replaced that image. I quickly washed that thought away.

"Well, I guess the depression started to come when my mother died. After her death, my father buried himself in his work and neglected me as a small child up until I was a teenager. I dealt with it for many years, but with each missed birthday, and scolding, and business trip it dug deeper into me. When I got older, I started to be bullied by the kids at school," I began to explain. I told them the story I had shared more people than I had wanted to. I even told them about Natsu finding them and the promise. When I got to the prom night, I went silent.

"Lucy," Ultear asked in concern.

"It was prom night. Natsu had been treating me like a princess and it was perfect," I spoke, refusing to be defeated. "Then, Lisanna said hurtful things but I ignored it. Then after using the bathroom, her friends cornered me and ruined my dress and punched me in the face. They held me, not letting me go. Still, after they left me miserable in that bathroom, I still pushed that aside and was determined to have my perfect night with the perfect guy, well that is what I thought he was..... when I made it out, I saw him and Lisanna and my world began to crumble. I thought he was the only one I had left.

"That was the moment I gave up. A million thoughts rushed through my head. How could he? He said he changed? I thought he was the one! Why keep my promise to him if he didn't keep his to me? I mean, he was the only person I had left," the words poured out of my mouth like a waterfall. I didn't even explain it to Levy this detailed. "So I ran. I ran to the only way I knew how to take away the pain. And I cut more times I had ever done at once. I had cut deeper and longer causing me to loose a lot of blood," I said as I felt tears brim my eyes. I lifted up my sleeves to show the group my scars. The last ones I had done stitched together. Everyone looked at my cuts and some had tears in their eyes.

"I woke up int the hospital and had found out two people had been waiting for me all night. One was the boy that had broken me to bits and the other was the girl that stuck with me through thick and thin. And then I realized as I told her my story and how she had reacted, I wasn't alone. I had her and my other friends. I decided I would never cut again and I have stuck to that goal, even if it has only been for a couple days right now," I smiled as light tears filled my eyes.

"Lucy, people do care," a girl with long red hair spoke up and the rest of the group spoke up to, saying reassuring things. I smiled and thanked everyone and sat back down.

"Does anyone have anything to ask Lucy?" Ultear asked. One boy with dark blond hair raised his hand.

"Go ahead Hibaki," Ultear said.

"Well, did he try to chase after you? To explain?" he asked quietly. The question took me by shock but I forced myself to answer.

"He did try. When I ran from the prom, at the hospital, when I left. I guess I just couldn't gather up the strength to talk to him. I still loved him and I still do and it pained me every time I looked at him. Because the image of him and her popped up in my head," I admitted.

"Well, while you are staying here, you should gather the strength and talk to him again," a small girl said. Ultear smiled at her and then looked at me.

"Well, I think that's a great idea. You will be here for six months so I think in that time you can find that strength," Ultear said to me. I nodded, at a loss for words.

Other people began to share their stories with me. At moments I fell selfish. I had found out that the two that sat next to me, the blond boy and cat girl, had been forced into illegal child labor and had lost many loved ones. Other's had other hardships, some parents lost to a murder and some had the same condition as me. I began to like this group a lot more and realized how I felt more relaxed after sharing my story like that. And that ither's trusted me enough to share their's with me.

At the end of the group, I said goodbye to everyone and became especially fond of Flare, who was around my age and used to be abused. We chatted for a bit before I had to leave and meet my father at his car. When I entered, he had noticed my changed attitude. He smiled as he started up the car and began a conversation with me.

"I'm guessing you liked it a lot more than you expected," he suggested.

"It felt surprisingly relieving and got a load off my chest," I told him.

"Good, if you keep this up, I think I can arrange a surprise for you," he said with a secretive grin.

"What?!" I asked enthusiastically.

"It's a surprise and only if you get better and go to your groups," he said. I nodded vigorously and looked out the window. I had a feeling I was going to like these six months a lot more than expected.
