Hating a star

Chapter 25:Worst Day Of My Life

Lucy's PoV

After punching my feelings out, Cana offered for me to stay at her place tonight, but I declined. I just really needed some time alone with my thoughts. Its obvious that he came back because of the video. If he wants me for the money, he can go packing already, but what if its something else? I thoughts walking down the street aimlessly. the sun was setting fast, but getting home in time for dinner was at the back of my mind at the moment. After a while of straying from my path to home, I found myself in front of a grand hotel. The most expensive in Magnolia in fact, The Guild Hall. It so happens that Zeref is staying here. Why am I here? I being leave before anyone sees me. I instantly panicked, turn tailing and setting off. "Lucy, I'm glad you could make it!" The overly happy voice of a certain enemy of mine. "Lizanna?" I turned, shocked. They stood the girl who tried to end my life. She was dressed in club attire, something you certainly wouldn't wear around the house. "Your father's waiting for you." He smirked, two bodyguards coming up behind her. I sighed, there was no way I was getting out of this. 

Unsurprisingly, we went all the way to the top of the elevator. When the bell dinged, signifying we had arrived at the penthouse, Lizanna pushed me forward so hard I fell on the floor. "Now Lizanna, don't harm our cargo like that." Zeref smirked from his place on a lavish, leather couch. "Sorry daddy." She jumped over next to him. "Daddy?" I cringed, pushing myself up with my arms. "Not now baby girl, daddy has to do business." Zeref tapped her nose and stood up, walking over to me. "So you're a bastard and a pervert now? Wow am I even surprised." I spat, standing up and putting my hand on my hip to stop myself from lashing out again. "That's no way to speak to your father." He tutted, waving his finger at me. "Bite me." I sneered. He instantly grabbed my chin, dangerous fire burning in his eyes. "Careful what you say, my princess. You're under my roof now." His smirked before throwing me back on the floor. "Now that that's dealt with, lets get to business. I want to give you your mother's company back." He sat back on the couch, arms thrown over the back. "What?" I rubbed my cheek, which I had hit on the fall, standing up once again. "With some conditions of course. Think of it as a business transaction. I give Layla her family company back, free of any wrong doings, and you do something for me." He smirked as I thought. "What would I have to do?" I raised an eyebrow, ignoring the stinging on my cheek. "You leave everything in the lowlife town behind and go to Princeton, after that, you'll become the best musician in the world. Not so hard for someone with your talents." Lizanna snuggled up to him. "Are you kidding? This 'lowlife' town you talk of is the best thing that's ever happened to me. No way would I leave it for you just so I can be famous." I scoffed. He sneered. "Don't forget to think about mom. And you can't go anyway in this world with money, so think over it." With the snap of his fingers, his bodyguards 'escorted me out of the hotel', by throwing me down the front steps. 

Feeling complicated, I went to a place I hadn't gone in a while, Sting's house. I feels like so long since I've seen him. It wasn't so far away from the hotel, so it didn't take so long to get there. Ringing the door bell, I shivered at how cold it had gotten during my travel. After a while of the door not being answered, I rang it again. A couple seconds later, the door swung open. There stood a topless Rogue. "Lucy?" He almost gasped, his messed up hair half tied back. "Rogue, how've you been? What're you doing here?" I stepped in as he let me in, more hesitant than usual. "Yeah great.. What're you doing here so late?" He looked everywhere but me, making in awkward for the both of us. "My life feels like its been turned upside down the past couple of days, so I was hoping to see Sting. Where even is he, anyway?" I looked around. "Hey babe, who was it?" Sting's voice peeked around the wall of the living room, freezing as he saw me. "Babe?" I was a bit taken aback as I spun around, finding Sting also topless and a red mark on his neck. "Lucy! I thought it was you! How's my favourite girl in the world?" He cheer, coming at me with open eyes. I pushed my hand on his chest as he came in touching distance. Tears were building in the back of my mind. "Sting? What is that on your neck?" I stared lasers into his eyes to figure out the truth. His hand instantly went to cover it up. Rogue and Sting made eye contact. "Tell me the truth Sting." I started getting choked up. "Lucy..." Rogue stared down at me with saddened eyes. 

At that moment, I broke. I ran out of the house, the two calling after me. I ran and ran to God knows where until someone grabbed my shoulder. "No! Please! I'm sorry! I just don't want to be hurt anymore!" I screamed, thinking it was Sting or Rogue as tears poured. "Lucy. Luce! Calm down, its me. Breath!" Natsu's voice came into earshot as I collapsed to the ground, my legs burning as I cover my face with my hands. I cried and cried as he held my head in his chest, trying to calm me down. 

Ever since Natsu came back, everything has gone to hell.
