I feel like screaming. Natsu is pushing the wheelchair that was meant to go slow really fast. We jolt down the road like wildfire. I sit there with my eyes wide open, hands gripped onto the side. That's it. "Hey, um could you please slow down?" I squeak. He doesn't seem to hear so I speak up. "SLOW DOWN!!!" That's the first thing that I've ever yelled. He shifts his head to look at me. 

"I'm sorry, what was that Lu- I mean mute?" He asks like a idiot with slight sarcasm. I give up and turn back around. We arrive at Natsu's dull blue mansion. He runs inside the house not even caring to slow me down so I fly forward until I'm stopped by something. Better yet someone. I open my eyes and turn around. A man in his 40's with red hair and dragon tattoos holds the bars of my wheelchair. 

The moment I spin around he looks at me very weird. Then I realize who it is. "Oh, hi. You're Natsu's new girlfriend right?" He asks, then smiles. "Oh, um no." I respond almost instantly. "Well who are you?" He asks. "Oh, my names Lucy." I say. I'm hoping he doesn't remember me. 

"I actually am kinda supposed to help Natsu in a 'time of need'?" I explain. His face...lights up? "Okay then, I know what you mean." He says, then yells "NATSU DRAGNEEL!! Get down here and push this young lady home NOW!!" He comes stomping out of the house pouting. "But I don't wanna."

"You will." Then Mr. Dragneel looks at me and says "You want to stay over for dinner tomorrow? We're having fried chicken!" My favorite meal. He remembers. "Hey dad I thought it was spagget-" "I changed my mind." Interrupts Mr. Dragneel, or should I say Igneel. 

"Natsu please walk Lucy home." He says. 

FLASHBACK

"Natsu! You have to walk Lucy home like every other day remember?" Says Igneel. "Oh yeah! Lets go Lushee!" He skips out of the house happily. I sat on my little pink bike with flowers. We rode down the dusty road that leaded to my family's little yellow house. It was outlined with lots of different flowers, and was very pretty in the summertime. 

My mom stuck her head out the window of our kitchen. "Hey guys! Did you have a fun time at the beach?" She asks. "Yep!" We both say in unison. 

END OF FLASHBACK

This time Natsu pushes me down the path slowly. I stare at the shining sun. It's starting to get a little chilly since fall is next week. That sun will soon be behind the gray skies that drain color out of the world. I shiver. My favorite thing in December is playing in the snow and celebrating Christmas, although I've never gotten a gift since my mom died. But that's okay, I usually like to give people presents rather than to receive them.

"This reminds me of something." Natsu mutters. I think he didn't mean to say it out loud because I don't think he was saying anything to me. I know Natsu, he talks to himself sometimes.  It's so quiet and peaceful that I drift off to sleep forgetting about everything. Even that the person I hate and love so much is wheeling me back home. Worst mistake ever. 

The next morning I wake up with a smile on my face. Natsu must've put me in my bed or something. How kind of him! He's getting better at being nice! Sun shines through the curtains. Father is supposed to be out for a couple of days, so I have the house to myself. I do my morning routine, then make some eggs and bacon. 

When I get to school the first thing I notice is a couple of girls snickering about something and staring at me. Then a bunch of boys walk past me on the way to my locker and laugh hysterically while pointing to me. I turn my head and see something on the wall. It's a page that has small writing on it. It kinda looks like a page from my diary. Wait. I walk closer to the page so it's in view. 

It is a page from my diary. 

But how?! My mind spins in circles. This is the first time I've ever felt like I can't do anything about something. This is bad. No, this is super bad. I rip the page off of the wall and continue to walk down the hall in panic while ripping my entrees off of the wall. There's some stuff in there that's really personal. I feel like crawling up into a tiny ball and being tossed into the trash can. I feel like dying. 

But I won't. How did this happen? My mind goes back to me falling asleep on the ride home. Natsu. I knew it. It did seem out of his personality to return me home safely. All of a sudden so much anger rises up inside of me I can't handle it. The bell rings and I fall to the ground, letting the tears leek from my eyes and the sobs echoing throughout the school. 

I get up. One thing crosses my mind of so much anger and sadness. HE. WILL. PAY.

Sorry guys! Cliffhanger!

I've been really busy lately, but I seemed to squeeze in a chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed it! Be on the lookout for one either tomorrow or the day after that. 

And oh my goodness! Nobody wants to mess with Lucy when she gets angry. It's a true fact. 

Keep Wattpading!
