Not an Exception

It didn't have to be like this, you and I could have settled things straight and right, but no, both of you were too busy on your jobs that you don't even know that I exist anymore.

It was another argument with Mom and Dad, they went home late again and I was getting tired of it.

Mom always had that I'm sorry look everytime, while Dad? Dad was either asleep on the couch, too tired to talk, was stuffing his face in food, or was too mad to care about me.

I wasn't greedy about material things, I only wanted their attention. I don't care if I didn't get that 'Christmas gift' when I was five, all I want is to have a complete dinner with them.

I was either left with Aunt Juvia, Aunt Levy, Aunt Mira, Aunt Kinana, or Uncle Gray.

They were the only ones who actually comforted me when I cry, made me smile, took care of my wounds when I fall, or just motivated me to do better.

Sure, I looked like my mom, Lucy Heartfilia, with the Chocolate brown eyes and my dad, Natsu Dragneel, with luxurious pink hair, but my attitude was surely different from theirs.

They say, "Like mother, Like Daughter" or whatever they say, but I'm more like, "Like Babysitter, like daughter."

Dad was looking down while my Mom was holding my hand as I was crying my eyes out. I was so hurt for the pass 7 months that I cry myself to sleep at night.

Why is everyone so proud of me being a Dragneel? If anything, I want to be a Fullbuster, but that's not how it works.

"Nashi, we're so-" I cut my Dad off for the 6th time this year.

"NO! What do you mean you're sorry!? I've been parent-less for 7th months, and hell, you even missed my 13th birthday!" I snapped at them, letting go of my mom's hand.

Dad stood up with an angry expression.

"Don't you dare give me that tone, young lady." Dad said angrily with his fist twitching in the counter.

"Oh! So now you're concerned?! When was this 7 months ago!?" I said fisting the counter.

"Nashi! Natsu! Please." Mom said calmly as me and Dad had a glaring contest.

"Go to your room Nashi." Natsu growled under his breath.

"Fine! I'll go to my room, pack my stuff, and even get outta here!" I marched up to my room and grabbed a few clothes and some necessities.

I was done, I had my last straw, I had snapped and I don't want to snap again, I was tired of waiting for them and hearing their lame excuses like it's not gonna happen again.

Someone grabbed my collar from behind and dragged me downstairs towards the front gate. I could hear my mom yelling to leave me alone.

When I saw the familiar scarf, I knew Dad was the one dragging me outside. He threw me on the hard concrete and walked back inside. Locking the gate on his way in.

I stood up and dusted myself as small tears threatened to fall.

I could hear mom arguing with my dad, but whatever might be the case, I was already planning on leaving.

I wasn't packed though, All I have is the reward money that me and Aunt Mira earned after our mission, but it wasn't much.

I didn't wanna go to Aunt Juvia or Uncle Gray's house, Dad might get- But hell! Why does he care!?

I marched my way to the Fullbuster's residence which wasn't that far from here, it made sense though, after all, me and Storm Fullbuster are the best of friends, so it's not a surprise that we could be in each other's house.

I made it up the front door and lightly knocked, although it was near, the emotional stressed drained me and I was feeling a bit tired now.

What answered me was the bubbly blue- haired, Aunt Juvia.

First she had a smile, then she was shocked to see me.

"Nashi-chan? What brings you here?" She said a bit concerned.

Slowly, the tears that I tried holding in earlier fell down to my cheeks.

"N-Nashi-chan?" She invited me inside with a hand rubbing my back calmly.

My hands covered my face as I cried my heart out.

"Who wa-" I heard Storm ask his mom, but I think he already saw me.

I heard footsteps approach me and when I looked up, I saw Storm with a handkerchief on his hand which he handed it to me.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you with your parents?" Aunt Juvia and Uncle Gray both rubbed my back soothingly as I was talking to Storm.

"Me and my Dad had a fight earlier...They kicked me out of the house... and I don't know what to do." I wiped my tears with the hanky Storm gave me.

I heard Uncle Gray sigh and mutter something.

I explained to them everything, why we had a fight and etc.

Storm had a great idea to go on a 4 year long mission which Uncle Gray agreed to but Aunt Juvia heavily denied.

Uncle Gray and Storm pleaded to agree which took a few deals and conditions.

"Okay, Juvia approves, but remember that list young man!" Storm almost fainted after hearing all those conditions and consequences.

"And Nashi, report to Juvia or Gray-sama when Storm doesn't abide by the rules." Aunt Juvia messed my hair a bit.

I nodded and saluted. We both giggled while Uncle Gray was shaking Storm to wake up from that trance he had earlier.

5 days later, we were off, everyone but my parents knew about me and Storm leaving for that mission.

4 years? How bad could it be?

~4 years later~

"Nashiiiii!!!" A girl with long white hair was running towards me. I tried to adjust to the bright light.

I missed Magnolia so much, Storm did too.

It's time to go back home now! Everyone must be waiting for us.

"Hey Eve... Has anyone... in particular... been looking for me?" I nudged the girl with white hair lightly and she shook her head.

All the more reason why I think my parents don't love me anymore...

Eve opened the gates to Fairy Tail, and what greeted inside were happy smiles and a colorful aura that can make your day.

I was back home!

I've been through my ups and downs, I've failed and succeeded in things.

I did things I never thought possible, my parents... No... I don't need them anymore...

I could take my revenge on them... But that's a story for another time.
