Last Chapter
Lucy got away from Lissana after a drilling question: why is she mute?

After Natsu's touch triggered a panic attack, but it wasn't from the normal abuse from her father... it was something else.

This Chapter

Natsu's P.O.V
I noticed Luce started to shake so I guided her out of the classroom.

I held her in my arms looking down at her "Hey, Luce what's wrong?"

She whimpered tears starting to fall down her face. I started to freak out. "Luce, hey Lucy."

"Please, no more." Lucy pleaded. I started to tighten my grip stroking her hair.

"Lucy?" I said concerned. "Lucy!" "Lucy!" She looked up at me, tears filling her eyes.

She seemed so out of it, looking around confused. "N-n-natsu?" Luce said.

I let out a breath of relief after hearing her angelic voice. I tackled her in a hug a smile pressed against my lips.

She flinched away at my touch. I slowly moved back. "Lucy?" I looked at her worried.

She started to sob in her hands.  Oh god, what do I do? How do I confort her.

"Lucy what's wrong? Tell me! Please! I don't know what to do!" I said pacing back and forth.

"Natsu" she cried before wrapping her arms around me sobbing into my chest. She didn't flinch away so I took that as an invitation to wrap my arms around her.

"Lucy what's wrong?" I said. She just gripped tighter. Luce stayed silent ignoring my question.
What's going on Luce.

Lucy chooses to be mute... visions screaming it's not her fault... that she's not a murder... pleading for something to stop... flinching away at the touch... there is a big problem.

Time Skip To Lunch

Lissana's P.O.V
I type in the search bar Michelle Heartfillia I found an article with a picture of Michelle after she was found and a story.

Copping this link I went to look for more. Lucy Heartfillia I typed. I looked for hours until I found it.

Article: Lucy Heartfillia suspect of murder of her own mother, Layla Heartfillia.

I smiled wickedly, this is it.

Lucy's P.O.V
It was lunch now and I didn't have anything. I was so embarrassed about my breakdown.

That's twice in two days. I can't let it get to the better of me just because I have friends. I need to pretend to be okay. They can't find out.

"Hey Lu-Chan/Lucy/Love-Rival." I looked up out of my daze to see Levy, Erza, Mira and Juvia.

I waved hello as they sat down beside me at the cherry blossom tree.

"We're having a sleepover tonight with the guys, wanna come?" Levy-Chan asked.

I nodded smiling before realizing what my father might think. You know what? Screw him.

They let out a breath of relief. "I'll come pick you up, where do you live?" She asked. I lied telling her

I lived on a house down the street so she won't know. I'll just have to wait by there house instead.

They all started squealing talking about the fun we would have tonight.

Natsu, Jellal, Gray, and Gajeel came over. "Hey bunny-girl." I just waved and smiled again.

They all started talking. Natsu came to sit next to me whispering "Where's your lunch Luce?"

He sounded so concerned it made me feel bad. I just shook my head and looked down.

Everyone seemed to have herd each giving me something, an apple, protein bar, chocolate, a bag of chips, and milk carton.

I reared up looking at a real meal in front of me. "T-thank y-you!" I said louder then usual. All of them just smiled.

I quickly gobbled down everything so thankful for what I everyone did for me. I couldn't stop smiling.

soon it was time for class and we split are separate ways.

Another Time Skip brought to you by a lazy author c;

(Still) Lucy's P.O.V.
I ran home excited for the sleepover. My dads car was gone, he must be out drinking.

I quickly shoved clothes, toiletries, etc. into my bag setting it down.

I decided to dress a little nicer so instead I put on a nice long-sleeved sweater and some jeans.

I put my hair in a side ponytail before smiling at how I could freshen up.

Re-doing my makeup I covered up bruises then put on some light lip gloss.

I grabbed my bag and headed down to the house Levy was supposed to pick me up at.

I kept smiling to myself thinking about the sleepover. I was really excited.

Levy's car pulled up, "Come on, get in Lu-Chan!" She said smiling. I nodded getting into the front seat.

"Sense I had to pick you up before we are gunna be a little early." I just smiled at her as she started the car.

Tonight's gunna be fun.
