{Lucy POV}
I heard the phone hang up before it slipped from my hands and landed with a big thud on the floor.
A tear slipped from my eye.
"Woah, Lucy! What's wrong?"
"Sting..." I muttered. "Natsu..."
"What is it? What's wrong with Natsu?"
Ping!
Sting grabbed his phone and looked at the screen.
"L-Lucy..."
I dropped to the floor. My legs felt like jelly.
"I-I can't..." My bottom lips trembled, as tears fell like waterfalls.
It pained me. It already hurt enough that I was blind. I didn't want someone I loved to suffer the same I did. Especially not Natsu.
"Hey, what did he tell you?" He hugged me tightly, and I cried into his shirt. "Cmon, Lucy..."
I knew trembling and crying like a baby wasn't going to get me anywhere. I calmed down, took a deep breath, and tried to calmly explain to him what happened.
Key word: tried.
"N-Natsu...Eyes..." I said, shaking. "I-I don't...Want..."
"Lucy, calm down!"
"Yo, we're back—woah, is something wrong?" Footsteps. Nii-Chan's voice came closer and closer, and his big hand patted my head. "You ok, Lucy?"
"Dad..." Sting explained everything, and Dad grew angry.
"Calm down." Mom said.
"That bastard dare—!"
"Dad, language."
"I don't care what I say! He touched my son-in-law, and now he's threatening my daughter with him! How dare he, that dumbass ex-con!"
"Dad!"
"Honey, stop it." Mom's hands gently patted my shoulder, and pulled me into a hug. "You want to explain what happened dear? Shh, it's alright..."
I cried into Mom's shirt, trying to calm myself down. It definitely wasn't easy—it felt as if someone turned on the faucet and just left it there.
"Hey, tell me what happened, alright dear? We don't and can't know anything if you keep crying, right?"
I nodded, and I could feel her face form into a forced smile. "Alright, Cmon dear."
I pulled away from her hug, and wiped my tears, taking deep breaths. She kissed my forehead to soothe me.
I explained to everyone what happened, and what he said.
"I don't want him to go blind like I did..." I muttered.
"Oh sweetheart, he isn't going to go blind, alright? Let's go take a look at that list."
{Natsu POV}
After he hung up, he sent a text and set his phone down, pulling up a chair. He sat in front of me. I glared at him.
"Your glares don't scare me, little boy." He said, patting my head. I moved my head away but he grabbed my face made me face him.
"Let go." I said, my voice sounding funny. "And leave Lushy alone!"
He smirked. "I wouldn't be worrying about your girlfriend if I were you." He said, letting me go. He looked me up and down and stood up. "I suggest you worry about what's going to happen to you now."
"What do you mean?" I asked, a bit scared.
He took a few steps closer, and I leaned back as he came closer.
Suddenly, I fell back, landing on the floor. My head banged against the floor, making me wince.
"Ow..."
The man sat next to my head, tracing my jawline. I shivered.
"I wouldn't want to ruin this pretty face of yours." He said, licking his lips. "But your girlfriend will be the one to decide that."
I closed my eyes, my breathing uneven.
Someone please help me...
{Sting POV}
"O-One million dollars?!"
"Ransom money. That little..."
"He did us dirty." Nii-Chan said. "Where are we going to get a million dollars..."
I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. "Dang..."
Dad lifted Lucy up. She was asleep.
"She must've been tired. She's passed out." He said. "I'll carry her up to her room."
Silence filled the room as his footsteps slowly disappeared.
"Did you tell Mr and Mrs Dragneel, Sting?" Mom asked.
I shook my head. "No..."
"Go give them a call this instant." Mom said. I flinched as she looked at me. "Now."
"Alright."
I got my phone and scrolled down my contacts list. Nervously, I pressed on Natsu's father's number.
"Alright...you can do this...just tell him...calmly..."
"Tell me what calmly, young man?"
I flinched. "M-Mr. Dragneel?"
"What is it?"
