(The Night Before)
A girl quietly opens her front door, steps in, and closes the door as quiet as she possibly could. She was glad she was wearing hard-to-see-in-the-dark clothes because, thankfully, all the lights were off in her house.
She took only 4 steps before the lights above the broken downstairs turn on and rapid feet come running down the steps.
She sighs, knowing she was caught and stays in her tracks acting as if a deer does, pretending to not be there.
"Where were you..." it was a man and his voice was groggy, the girl could smell the alcohol he had been drinking even from how far apart they were standing. "I said where were you, goddammit!!!!"
The girl flinched as she starts walking, acting as if the man before her wasn't there. She figured if she just walked passed, it would all be fine and dandy. But of course, she was wrong.
The drunk guy wasn't putting up with any of it and grabs onto her hair, yanking it harshly as the girl let's out a quiet but pained yelp.
"Answer me!!!" the man demanded, screaming right in the poor girl's ear.
The girl lets a tear fall from her beautiful hurt eyes as she desperately tries to make the man let go of her hair. "It's...none of your...." and then another yelp as the man yanks her hair once more "...business... You wouldn't give a damn if I didn't come back, so why are you acting all high and mighty as if you cared!?"
It was then that the man let go of her hair, and once the girl thought it was over with and she could run away, the man brought back his hand and immediately slapped the girl's right cheek, near her eye, with such force. The girl let out a pained cry as she falls to the floor, holding onto her throbbing face.
"Get out of my fucking sight, you piece of shit." he kicks the girl on the floor as he walks past her, she made a pained noise as he does, swaying because of his alcohol intake, and heads for a room near the beaten-down kitchen.
The girl just lays there and weeps silently, wishing she had just stayed with her friend at her house just like she wished.

It was the next day, and needless to say, Gray was exhausted. Not the fake exhausted - he was pure out exhausted. Running on 5 hours of sleep wasn't good for him, and he swore off staying up and watching a movie with his Dad all night ever again.
He sat in homeroom groggily, listening to Porlyusica teaching -- the bell ringing 5 minutes prior to that moment.
Gray looked over to the window as he stared at the empty seat he wished to sit in. The Juvia girl wasn't there that day, who knows where she was. Could've been skipping class which Gray didn't blame her for. Maybe she did skip, found a new homeroom to be in, or was just running late...
