Lucy woke up to the smell of bacon being cooked. As much as she wanted to just stay sleeping on Natsu's couch she knew she should get up. Before she could even move a muscle to get up the smell of bacon was at her nose. Lucy peeked an eye open and Natsu was standing next to the couch holding bacon in front of her face.

Lucy smiled and leaned forwarded grabbing the bacon with her teeth.

"Thanks" she said in a heavenly tone as the taste of bacon delighted her tastebuds.

Natsu laughed and walked back into the kitchen. "Damn Luce you're practically moaning over that bacon."

"It's so good. Gimme more!" She exclaimed before getting up.

Natsu again laughed and cracked some eggs to fry them. Lucy walked into the kitchen and started prepping some plates and cups.

"Milk or orange juice?" She asked as she poured her self some juice. "Milk, thanks." Natsu told her as he seasoned the eggs.

Once the food was ready Natsu carefully laid the food out and sat down. Lucy's mouth was watering at the sight, but before she could even touch it Natsu had pulled it back.

"You don't get food until you talk about what happened last night?"

"We just had a disagreement and I got upset," she said as she reach for the plate. However, Natsu pulled it back further and raised an eyebrow.

"Lucy, you've been married what two years now? In that entire time you've never once mentioned any fights or disagreements. You have one and you say it was no big deal yet you came to my door in the middle of the night bawling your eyes out? Yeah I don't think so."

Lucy took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes so he'd know she was sincere.

"Natsu, I'm on my period okay and sometimes I get a little more upset than usual. We got in a fight about him working. Nothing new. Okay?"

Natsu just stared at her he could tell she was lying from the look in the her eyes. Him knowing Lucy she was adamant about keeping it a secret.

He slowly pushed the plate of food forward.

Lucy sleepily smiled and grabbed the plate, scuffing down all the food on it.

Lucy's heart was racing as she opened the door to her house. Was she ready to confront him, was this the end of their relationship? Oh no she was one of those women now that had to get a divorce after such a short marriage.

As all the thoughts flowed through Lucy's head the door flung open and relieve Mason.

"LUCY! Where have you been!? Why didn't you come home last night? I've been calling you and you never answered."

Lucy hands were trembling as she tried to get her words out.  "I-I.. know..." she muttered and with much hesitation said, "I'm sorry, me and Levy fell asleep on the couch and my phone must've died while I was sleeping." 

Mason sighed and shook his head. "You gave me a heart attack, I didn't know what happened to you. I was so worried."

"I didn't mean too. I'm gonna go shower now." Lucy walked past him to go shower.

She stayed in there for almost an hour. Her skinned was turning pink from the burning hot water. She scrubbed her body with her luffa as if cleaning her self would erase what happened last night. She just couldn't fathom why he would cheat. Was she not good enough, sexy enough, why wouldn't he just end things?
Is this why he ignores her and only sleeps with her at night? Lucy couldn't wrap her mind around it.

Taking a deep breath she turned off the shower and dried her self off. As she dried her hair with the towel and walked into their room she stopped. Lucy just stared at the bed disgusted. It was messed up and she knows it's filthy now.

She turned and walked into her closet picking out her outfit for the day. Once she was dressed she made her way back to the bed. Slowly she start stripping down the bed. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she did so. She had to wash the bedding and it hurt her more to think of all the nights she slept in this bed after what he's done.

Feeling sick to her stomach Lucy ran to the bathroom and threw up. The tears just wouldn't stop. What was she doing here? Why didn't she confront him? Why was she still holding on?

After another twenty minutes or so the tears and vomit finally stopped and Lucy was able to get back to her feet and finally stripped down the bed. She walked down the hall to the laundry room and started the load up. With a shaky breath she made her way to her library and locked her self in.

Her eyes wondered the room. All of her favorite books were in here along with her family photo albums. She pulled them all out one by one shifting through them all. Smiles tugged at her face as she looked through her childhood memories.

Pictures of her mother and father happy and little Lucy in their arms. Lucy's mother died when she was still fairly young, but she remembers every word of wisdom her mother gave her.

As Lucy went further along in her photo albums she finds pictures from around the time she met Natsu and how inseparable they were. She still can't believe how she got along with him. She giggled looking at one picture of them. Natsu was on the top of her playground castle acting like King Kong and in the corner she could see her self terrified and crying. She remembered spending most of her childhood worrying about him.

A few books later she made it her high-school years. "God look at us" she commented as she ran her fingers across the pictures. They were still so close and happy. God she was so happy. A few tears pricked Lucy's eyes. The source of all her happiness was from her best friend.

Suddenly she remembered her and Natsu once shared a kiss together. Right before she left for college they were at the airport and she crying her eyes out. She had been accepted into an Ivy League school in the US and would be leaving for a few years. She was crying about how much she was gonna miss him and he shut her up with a kiss. He told her he loved her and would be here when she got back. Lucy couldn't shake the feeling that maybe she was meant to be with Natsu. However, while away they agreed they would still be friends and if they found someone who meant the world to them they would just stay friends and the kiss never happened.

Almost two years had gone by, but finishing school to be with Natsu was all Lucy cared about. Her and Natsu talked almost every day and it seemed they might actually end up together. That was until her father came in town with Mason.

Lucy took a deep breath as she opened up the next album more memories started coming back to her.

Lucy's father Jude was visiting her and he had brought along Mason. He was very handsome and smart and he worked under Jude. Jude wanted Lucy and Mason to start socializing in hopes he'd could marry Mason into the family to run the business after he had past. Mason was quite the charmer and his moves definitely worked on Lucy. He was able to sway her with books and talking about her favorite authors. And in general they seemed to have a good bit in common. One night after they had seen a show together Mason kissed her and that pretty much settled it.

Lucy told Natsu about him the whole time and once they kissed she let him know that she thinks it would be better if they saw other people. Natsu was hurt but understood, after all that was their deal. Natsu however never had committed relationships.

Lucy closed the album and put them all back on their shelves. She knew if continued looking the rest would be of her and Mason and she just couldn't handle seeing those.

Lucy stood up and stretched. She had finally calmed down and figured she should switch the load of laundry. She walked down the hall to see everything was gone. Continuing on their bed was made, had Mason done the laundry how long was she in there for?

From here forward can be a triggering and upsetting scene. I didn't use deep details but it's still descriptive enough to be upsetting. Please skip if your are uncomfortable. You have been warned.

Lucy could feel a presence behind her and as she turned around Mason popped up. "There you are!" He exclaimed. Lucy jumped back a little after seeing him. "Yup here I am." She mumbled and tried to look for a way to get around him and leave.

"I've been looking for you baby," Mason said in a softer tone. Lucy's stomach churned, that tone of voice meant he was in the mood. Sleeping with him was the last thing she ever wanted to do.

Mason crept towards her and rubbed her arms. "You look so beautiful tonight my love." He whispered in her ear as he kissed her neck and collar bone. Lucy got goosebumps and felt her heart racing in her chest. "Please no" she thought.

Mason slowly began rubbing his hands up and down her body. Slowly pushing her clothes off.

"Mason, I'm not really in the mood tonight." Lucy whispered.

"Oh baby you know that just turns me on more." Mason said in a sexually tone as he roughly started kissing her. He slowly backed her up to the bed and pushed her down. Taking the rest of her clothes off. Lucy begged him to stop but it only turned him on more. He undressed and forcefully made Lucy get on her knees. Reluctantly Lucy gave him head and once his was satisfied he put her back on the bed. Lucy again tried to just finish him off from head, but he refused he wanted her. He forced his way on her and Lucy just laid there tears flowing down her cheeks. She realized now that all this time her husband had been forcing him self upon her for years. When he wanted her he took her whether she felt the same or not.

Once Mason finished he gave Lucy a kiss and out his clothes back on. "Damn babe you really got into character tonight, really felt like i was raping you. Pretty hot." With that he walked off, most likely back to his study.

If you skipped you can continue from here.

Lucy's lips began to tremble and soon she was sobbing. She laid in bed sobbing so loud she didn't understand how he didn't hear her. God how she wished she could just leave. Really the only thing holding her back was the constant memory of her father on her wedding day.

"I'm so proud of you Lucy, you made an excellent decision with choosing Mason as your husband. Finally someone to take off the company and someone who would have made your mother really proud." Lucy's eye lit up, "really father,you think mother would have been proud of me marrying Mason?" "Of course she would've been so happy you not only found a good husband but someone to take care of our company."

Lucy laid there and wondered, is this really what her mother would have want for her. She doubted it, but couldn't go wonder what would happen if she decided to bring this up. Surely her father would have blamed her, told her she wasn't doing a good enough job to keep her husband happy and that's why he cheated on her or took advantage of her.

"Made I should talk to Natsu.. no, that would only result in a death and my best friend in jail.. Maybe Levy could help me out."

So finally another chapter. Been writing bit by bit. School has started again and the classes I'm taking this semester are a bit harder than the last few. I'll try to keep up with updating more.

I hope i don't upset y'all too much with this story. In the description I'm sure i said this kind of stuff would happen through out the story. But don't worry, there will be happy good moments as well.
