After a while of talking the two of them saw Natsu come back into the house with a fairly upset look on his face. "Cin!" Natsu whined out

Cindy sighed out and she got up before going to where her younger brother was. "What is it Natsu? What's wrong?"

"C-Can...Can I still be here?" Natsu said sadly

Cindy looked to him confused before she stiffened up feeling her brother hug her tightly as he cried against her. "Linda just divorced me. S-She already had the paper. S-She wants Nami but I told her she'd have to fight me for her. I...I can't take care of Nami on my own!"

"Why did she divorce you?" Cindy asked

"B-Because she found someone else. S-Some she thinks is better." Natsu said sadly

Cindy's eyes darkened before she hugged her brother tightly. "Stay here with Nami, I'm going to take care of her. Give me your keys, she still lives at your apartment right?"

"M-Mhm." Natsu said sniffling a bit giving her the keys

"Good, so she'll be easy to find. Oh by the way Ja'far is here, so he'll keep you company. I got you baby brother not to worry." Cindy said as she placed her hands on his shoulders before she left out.

Once she was gone Natsu went into the living room to see a confused Ja'far. "Where's your sister?"

"I don't know where she went. She kept asking me questions about my ex-wife." Natsu said sadly

Ja'far thought for a moment before he looked to Natsu weakly. "Do you think she might try to knock out your ex?"

Natsu's blue eyes widen as he realize what Cindy was doing. "Oh crap...Cindy had made a threat to Linda on the day of my wedding-I thought she was joking."

Ja'far looked confused. "What do you mean? What threat?"

"Well...she had said to Linda that if she ever divorced me or cheating on me that she was going to eat dirt or something close to it. I think...I think Cindy went to go and take care of the fact that I was divorced out of the blue." Natsu said sadly

Ja'far got up and patted Natsu's shoulder. "Did you want to see if your sister is alright?"

"No...I know she'll be okay. She might have her problems but she's a strong woman that can take care of herself." Natsu said shaking his head. "Anyways if I were to go there I'd have to take Nami with me and I don't want Linda to get her crazy hands on my baby girl."

"That's fair, I don't blame you for wanting to place your daughters safety first. But do you really think that Cindy will be alright?"

"As her younger brother...yeah...yeah I do. I know she'll be alright. You may not know this since you're an only child, but elder siblings have this protective adrenaline inside of them that comes out when their younger siblings are in trouble or needs help with something. When it comes to push and shove Cindy will do what is best without causing much chaos or trouble."

Ja'far let out a worried sigh. "I truly hoe you're right with that. I don't want your sister to get even more harmed. Especially since I had came into this place to talk to her only to find her passed out with blood down her arms."

"Well Cin does have severe to borderline suicidal depression Ja'far. I wouldn't put it past her to do something like that to herself when she's all on her own." Natsu said as he went to watch over his daughter

"So you knew about it yet you still chose to leave her on her own?" Ja'far asked confused

"I didn't chose to do shit, I was forced to leave by my now ex-wife Linda who is a complete cunt and doesn't like big sis. I wanted to stay here with Cindy. I wanted her to make damn sure that Linda was taking good care of her and I's daughter. But Linda didn't want that since she wanted me to be 'independent' from my sister. Which is bull shit-I already am independent from her. I just enjoy being in the same place as her since our parents passed. I know taking care of me for her and I's high school career fucked with her a lot. Not to mention all the years she went through college was no walk in the park for her."

Ja'far averted his eyes as he heard what Natsu said. Natsu then looked at Jafar "And I know about what happened between the two of you, dude that was fuckin' low of you. So why are you here?"

"Cindy and I have been slowly amending our friendship. I feel like a coward ditching her like I had...and I know she shouldn't have forgiven me but she did and I'm thankful she's as warm hearted as she is."

"You are really damn fuckin' lucky she is kind hearted as she is otherwise you wouldn't be standing in this place that's for sure. Do you have any idea just how many damn nights that woman cried over the loss of the friendship you two had?"

Ja'far looked down upset as he shook his head. "Probably too many times for her to truly need to."

"three entire months. She kept from you a lot and it'll be up to you to get what she kept from you out of her. But what I will say to you is that you have too much trust in something that isn't really truly there." Natsu said seriously
