Lucy and Levy were at a local bar in Magnolia to watch levy's boyfriend, Gajeel, play in his band. He was the lead singing role and Levy had been begging Lucy to go for weeks. Lucy was a very friendly person but was very uncomfortable in situations...
Levy had been begging me for weeks to go to some bar where her boyfriend, Gajeel, played often. I'm not a very social person in general but I'm going for the sake of my friends. Levy told me that Erza and Jellal were going to be there too, which only made me cave more. It also didn't hurt that Juvia and Gajeel were playing. Levy also mentioned something about Gray bringing someone, which made me nervous but I had already accepted. I told levy, the only way was going is if she picked me up and we went together. She agreed and promptly told me to start getting ready.
I know it's summer and I should wear something light, but that's not exactly me. I have too many scars on my body for me to prance around with a tank top on. I've always worn winter type clothes for as long as I can remember. I decided I'd wear this:

I'm really not much of a drinker or partyer so I never, 'dress to impress.' Levy pulls up to my condo minutes after I put my coat on. She came to my door looking as beautiful as always.

"You look very nice, Levy," I speak quietly as I lock my front door.
"You look good too, Lulu. But, don't you think it's a little too warm to go out in something like that." Her eyes looked at me with worry and concern. I huff as we start to walk towards Levy's car,
"Don't we go through this every time you drag me somewhere? You're the only one who has seen my scars. You know how it would look if I pranced around with all of them showing." I've known Levy since middle school and I trust her with my life. The others know that I have a lot of insecurities about my body, but know nothing of my scars.
"I know. I know. Look, all I'm saying is that tons of people have scars and they choose to embrace it. It's your choice, I know that, but you can't hide them forever." She told me as we got in the car. Levy started the car and began pulling away from the parking space and into the street.
"Levy. I love you, but you've seen them. All of them have lowered my ability to regenerate enough skin in order to heal. Even getting a small burn from cooking stays for years. I think it's even worse that I can tell how each one happened." Thinking about it sent chills down my spine. Levy turned onto a main road and shook her head,
