"" I KNEW IT~~!!!! "declared Lisanna, catching everyone's attention as the group was walking out of school.
" Shut it, Lisanna! "Gray hissed loudly under his breath.
" I knew you and Juvia were going out with each other! "Lisanna grinned proudly.
" Natsu, are you sure you got permission for us to come over? You usually forget to ask. "Erza stated with a sigh after making the pinkette next to her grumble.
" You asked for me! "he reminded, she smacked his head with her brown book bag.
" I was making sure! Now, let's start this Friday afternoon with fun! "Erza declared, punching the air with her fist.
" Aye! "they all agreed.
" Wait! "Juvia stopped them all." Juvia believes we're missing Levy. There's Lisanna, Gray, Natsu, and Erza. No Levy. "
" Oh, at guess we'll wait first. "Lisanna said." There she... Is? "
They turned back to the school to see their small, blueness friend with a busty blonde.

" Thank you very much for your kindness, McGarden. "the busty blonde bowed respectfully." I'll make sure to return the favor. "
" Lucy-"
" I really must go, but thank you again. "the blonde turned and began running down the sidewalk the opposite of Levy's awaiting friends.
Levy walked up with a low, long sigh.
" What was that all about? "Natsu asked.
" She was thanking me. "Levy informed.
" For? "Lisanna pryed.
" She could barely lift her note book or pencil to write notes or pick up her things, so I helped her out. "Levy explained.
" Why was she having so much trouble? "Natsu asked.
" I'm not sure, but she had bandages this morning on all of her finger, even her thumbs. "Erza said." But, let's not worry ourselves over something so small, lets go have some fun. "

~Lucy's POV~

I had to run after I spoke to Levy, I needed to get back to the estate quickly. Aries called since she wasn't here today, she told me father had a stroke. I needed to see him.
'Mother, please watch over father!'
I ran faster, I needed to see him soon. I'm all the family he has left. And that's all I need to keep me going. 
It was just up ahead! The Heartfillia home, where my father was, hopefully safe.
An Ambulance was there, which made me run even faster.
I bolted through the paramedics as they got out of their vehicle. I ran up the stairs and to father's study. I didn't care, everything I was taught over in America disappeared as I slammed open the doors. 
There he was, kneeling on the ground with Aries and Taurus beside him. And an old time companion/butler Loki.
" Dad! "I gasped, catching my breath. I dropped to my knees, so happy to see him alright. But I must've spoke to soon.
" Jude! you mustn't move! "I heard Aries voice say, demanding almost. She'd only use her 'booming' voice if it was something important, which meant... he wasn't 'alright'. I heard father grunt, I looked up to see him in pain. 
" Dad! "I called him again, quickly getting to his side." Dad, please don't move. "
" How dare you come in here with such a posture! "he practically screamed at me.
" AH!! "I yelped, feeling an agonizing pain in my left wrist.
" LUCY!/JUDE! "I heard Loki, Aries, and Taurus scream our names.
Father twisted my wrist. I looked up with a pained look. Loki was trying to pull father's arm away.
" YOU DISGRACE!! "father screamed." AFTER ALL I'VE TAUGHT YOU!! "
" Jude, let go! "Loki hissed, pulling harder. Jude finally let go of my wrist, but that didn't release the pain. I could feel so many tears come from my eyes, I held my wrist. It hurt so much.
I wasn't able to look back up at father, he grabbed my hair, whipping it around. 
" Let go Jude! "I heard multiple voice yell.
I didn't know whose, all I know is there were paramedics in the room, because their were more voices than Aries, Taurus, and Loki's. 
Father finally let go, I looked up and saw him getting forced out of his own office to go to the hospital.
" YOU'LL NEVER BE A HEARTFILLIA!! "he shrieked at me.
I didn't care what he said, I forced myself up.
" Lucy! "I heard Loki, Aries, and Taurus yell behind me.
" Dad! "I followed him as he was brought outside. Before I knew it, he was right in front of me outside. He slapped my cheek before I could do anything. It stung so much, and I felt my body slam to the ground.
" Jude, stop! "
" You filthy disgrace. "I heard my father spit out at me." I wish you had never been born, Layla would still be here if you weren't. "
