Natsu POV:
An annoying beeping echoes from my right.I slam my hand on the top of my alarm clock.
Swinging my tired legs off the bed, I walk towards the bathroom.
With a flick of the light switch, I stare at myself in the mirror.
Bags upon bags lay under my eyes.
A yawn escapes my mouth as I exit the bathroom to get ready for school.
Memories from last night play in my mind as I put my uniform on.
Lucy's appearance.
She looked so weak.
Fragile.
Broken.
Stepping outside my bedroom, I say goodbye to my mom and leave the house.
Walking down the front steps, I wait for her arrival.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After about ten minutes, I see her figure approaching.
Her face is pale.
Her eyes are focused on the ground.
She walks closer.
Closer.
Closer.
Her head shoots up, and on it is a big fake smile.
"Good morning Natsu." Lucy greets.
"Morning Luce." I reply.
We begin walking.
Uneasiness was emitted with each step.
I shake off what little doubt I have and ask, "What happened last night?"
"W-What do you mean?" she questions as if trying to avoid the topic.
"Lucy, you know exactly what I mean." I answer.
"Can we just not talk about it?" she whispers.
"Lucy I need to know what happened." I continue.
"Natsu, please..." she pleads.
Stopping in my tracks, I stand in front of her.
Why were you battered?
Why were you breathing heavily?
Why were you so weak?
Why did I feel uneasy around your father?
Looking her in the eyes, I state, "Lucy, please tell me what happened."
Her eyes focus on the ground again.
"I wasn't feeling very well when I got home. 'I should've taken medicine when Natsu offered it' was all I kept thinking. My head and body felt like lead, and the coughing and sneezing only got worse. Everything from then on was kinda hazy; I remember bumping into things and falling down a few times, but that's really it. However, I remember opening the front door and seeing you, but then I think I passed out." Lucy explained to the ground.
Why didn't she say that to my face?
"You did past out. Your hand slid off the door handle and luckily I caught you before you hit the ground. I had no idea what was happening; I just started panicking. But then, your dad picked you up and brought you inside." I added.
"M-my dad did? Did he say anything?" Lucy interrogated.
"No? Should he have?" I question.
"No! I- I mean, no." she shouted, but then lowered her voice.
