The Strauss Plan - Part 1

Now that you've heard Lucy and Natsu's story, ready to hear hers?

Lisanna's POV

"Lisanna!" I hear my sister yell to me from downstairs. She's a pain. "What?" I answer, clearly annoyed with her action and tone of voice. "Would you like to come into town and help me with volunteering in the-" Yes. "No." I say almost immediately. "But Lisanna..." Mirajane protests with a hint of sadness in her voice. I wish I could. "Just go away!" I yell, then lean back in my chair. "Fine. If that's how you want to be."

I hear the door slam.

I take a deep breath, then let it out. Lisanna, you're a terrible person. "I know." I say to myself. This is how many of my days go. Everyone around me thinks I'm a complete slut and that I don't care about anyone or anything other than me.

But human emotions don't work that way.

You can't be emotionless. There's no way you can. Like I said, emotions won't let you. So that's why I keep my emotions locked up inside of me. And no one can have the key. On the outside, I'm heartless. On the inside, I'm broken. But that's a whole other story.

I get up from my desk and check the mirror before i pull out a tube of lipstick from my drawer. While I do, you can almost see the burn that remains on my arm when my sleeves fall down.
