Day IX

~*Lucy's POV*~

I will be visiting Erza in the hospital taking the guilt and pain of seeing my friend getting involved in my problems clearly, Levy and Juvia disagreed with my statement that I gave to Principal Makarov thus he will be waiting for Erza's statement pretty sure she would be on Levy and Juvia's side of the story. Seeing her pissed and angry reminds my big sister Michelle when she protects me from other students who picked on me before Lisanna came. Principal Makarov also gave some more investigating more around the school campus which other students would pick Lisanna rather than a girl who's a nerd and weak.

" Breathe Lucy.. You are here to apologize for Erza's injury and for being involved in your problems.. " I thought to myself as I reached the room where she stays.

I knocked softly and open the door seeing Levy and Gray beside Erza who is laughing and smiling as they looked at the door who it was. Levy rushed towards me and hugging tightly as she cried, I hugged back as well feeling more warmth and small happiness.

" LUCY!! I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE OKAY!!! " Levy shouted as she rubbed her wet face to my shirt while rubbing her back.

" I am fine Levy.. No need to be worried.. " I whispered as I go approaching Erza and Gray leaving a paper bag on the small table.

" Well, I am glad to see you safe, Lucy.. " Erza smiled seeing her head bandaged.

" I'm sorry.. You getting involved with this and getting injured because of me.. " I frowned looking down ashamed to myself.

" Lucy will you stop being the martyr and save yourself.. " Gray said with an angry tone as he stared at me.

" Have you been keeping this from us for years..? " Levy asked as she tears up looking at me.

" I'm sorry everyone.. I have to.. My family's name is on the line and she has the power to ruin it from her popularity inside the school campus.. " I said as I wiped my tears escaping to my eyes.

" Lucy, this is unforgivable.. Why are you owning the mistakes that you didn't start at all! " Erza cried feeling the disappointment in her tone, " You have to tell Natsu.. It's the only way to bring her up all those lies and suffering she caused to you..! "

" I can't.. Please don't even involve Natsu through all this mess.. " I plead kneeling as I hold Erza's hand begging.

" Why are you doing this to yourself.. Lucy, look at you.. " Gray murmured feeling his cold aura and anger he wanted to unleash badly.

" Natsu is better of with Lisanna instead of me.. I love Natsu but My family will be in danger.. " I plead and cried looking at Erza as my vision began to blurry, " Please Erza.. I'm begging not to tell Natsu and let me handle it on my own.. "

I beg and plead even more looking at her as I kept crying and sniffing while I saw her disappointed and moving her hand away looking away from me as she cried silently. I stand up and wipe my tears as I start walking away with thick cold silence covered the room and left. I get out to the hospital and calm myself down look around watching other people walking and pass by walking on my own to go back home, my parents knew that I will be visiting Erza in the morning and straight going back home to get back to school.

" I'm home.. " I shouted softly and saw my mom smiled as she hugged me.

" How's Ezra? Hope that she will be alright and did you give her the food I made for her? " She asked worriedly while I sat down on the dining table to eat breakfast.

" She is okay, I am really glad that her skull didn't crash from the impact.. " I said frowned a little while I eat little food.

" Well, I know Erza is a strong girl to be able to fight for the injury Lucy.. " Mom said as she kissed my forehead as smiled.

After my breakfast, I said my goodbyes to my parents and ride on my dad's service car which my butler Capricorn is the driver. I get on time for school seeing Juvia waiting for me which I did approach her, both of us go inside as students on the hallways whispers while looking at me knowing what I did yesterday. I quietly sat on my assigned seat while Juvia is just two armchairs away from me.

" I am surprised to still see you alive, nerd.. " One of the students said so while some laughed or chuckled.

" What's the matter? You don't have empathy for Lisanna so you don't give us the innocent yours.. " Another student said so while I put my head down closing my eyes just to ignore the noise.

Shutting everyone getting the peace I wanted while seeing the only black vision in my mind feeling the loneliness, guilt, and sadness while I felt water splashed to me which my uniform and hair all wet and soggy but I let them because I didn't care anymore so they do what they wanted. Feeling all the hidden secrets kept revealing and showing the lies and discarded ideas they thought of not only a nerd and loner but also a bully in their eyes and expectations from me forever, that is all thanks to Lisanna Strauss, the real bully and who started my life like a messed up glass shattered from the ground.
