Lucy's P.O.V

I look at myself in my mirror at my house. I can't be too loud....My father would probably haunt me down if he heard me talk.

"Lucy..You can do this." I say to myself.........

"The reason why I fear love is....b-because....I-I...........When I was a child-" I burst into tears. I can't do this...

I can't own up to myself....What if...What if I accidently speak with the others? What if they ask me why I was crying? What if.........

What if I can't tell them why I fear love.

What if I can't tell them why I didn't speak...

What if....

What if they don't want to be my friends?

The Next Day

Natsu's P.O.V

"GET UP NATSU-NII!" I hear my little sisters, Wendy & Chelia, yell. I open my eyes.

"Uuuugh....5 more minutes?!" I groan.

"You say that all the time!" Chelia crosses her arms.

"Fiine" I sigh. I get up, take a quick shower, get dressed, do my hair and get my school bag.

"Bye, Mum!" I go to my Mum - Grandeneey - and kiss her on the cheek.

"Bye child!" She smiles.

"Cya, Son." My dad - Igneel - says as he pats my back. "I'm still waiting for you to bring home a girl~" He teases.

"Daaaad!" I grunt.

While walking to school, I bump into a girl with a grey hoodie on.

"Sorry!" I apologize. She turns around and smiles.

"Oh, Hey there, Luce!" I smile.

Lucy's P.O.V

"H-" I almost speak, but slap my hand around my mouth. I take my hand off my mouth and awkwardly wave at Natsu.

"Were you...About to speak?" His eyes widen. My eyes widen as well. I shake my head as a sign of 'No'

"Hey, may I ask why you don't speak?" He asks out of the blue while we walk to school. I shake my head and bow down.

"Are you....Are you okay?" He asks with a soft tone. I shiver with fear....

Memories....

Flashbacks....

Of my Mother.....

If only that day didn't exist

If that day didn't exist....I wouldn't fear love.
