Natsu's pov:
We all get back to Lucy's apartment and chill there for awhile. "So Lucy, are you ready for tomorrow?" Levy asked and she nodded "yes, I'm supper excited! I haven't been to the beach together since we were all in 6th grade." Lucy chimed and we all laugh. "Geez Lucy, your just as excited as the last time we went" Erza said and the three girls laugh.
Levy walked up to me "Natsu, Gajeel did tell you the plan right" she whispered and I nodded "yes he did.. but did you have to pick the beach?" She smiled and nodded "yup it was necessary" she ran over to Erza and Lucy "Hey Lu-Chan, Erza and I are gonna go. I'm really tired" Erza nodded "same here" something seemed suspicious.
I shrug it off as Lucy said her goodbyes. She turned on her heel to me "OK! It's almost 11:00 pm. Time to get packed up for tomorrow and get some rest." She said cheerfully. "are you sure your feeling up to it?" She nodded and smiled widely "yup!" I pause for a second "Hey Natsu? You goo-" I cut her off by hugging her "n-Natsu.. what's wrong?" I shake my head "nothing I just... I saw.. m-my dad today.. when you were trying on bathing suits" she pulled away grabbing my arms and looking me in the eyes "Natsu! That isn't nothing! What happened?" She asked worried and I just shook my head "Natsu! Answer me! This isn't nothing! He's still alive!" She yelled and I shook my head "BUT I DONT KNOW HIM ANYMORE!" I yell and she froze.
She hugged me and my knees became weak causing me to fall to the floor and Lucy came down with me still hugging me as I cried. "Natsu... have you told me everything?" She asked and I shook my head "Do you want to tell me?" She asked calmly and I nodded "you don't have to tell me now-" I shook my head "no I need to tell you now." She nodded as I began to talk.
"I can hardly remember a lot since I was only 5 when they left me, but I always heard these rumors going around like I killed them, because our house caught fire, they abandoned me and died later on, my father helped me kill my mother, etc. The real story is.. that my father was abusive towards me. The night that the house caught fire my mother was protecting me from my father. My father wound up killing her for doing so and caught the house on fire attempting to kill me as well, but I escaped. I was hesitant though because I felt so much guilt leaving my mother their to burn. She was already dead though. So if I didn't make my choice then and there I'd be dead right now. My father later on, now that I know, he faked his death. So everyone blames me. So that's the story of my life... now that you know.. you'll probably stop hanging out with someone so weak and pathetic huh?" I felt arms wrap around my neck and heard Lucy sobbing silently "Natsu.. how could you ever think I'd leave you!? I would never! I promise you... I'll always be right here.. by your side and your side alone." I nodded and began to sob loudly as she petted and rubbed my head.

Lucy's pov:
Natsu soon calmed down and I started to make jokes making him laugh. As he began to feel better we said our goodbyes and I packed up then headed off to bed.

{next morning}

I wake up to the sound of my alarm I set last night. I get up and started to get ready. I slip on my bathing suit and threw on a cute black floral dress over it with a denim jacket to hide the fact that I have my swimsuit on. I slip on a pair of my converse and go to into the bathroom and brush out my hair. I brush my teeth and wash my face. "Ok done!" I grab my bag and walk out into the kitchen. I grab a quick snack which was a granola bar. I grab my keys and run out the door and I lock it. I go over to Natsu's door and knock "come on Natsu! We don't want to be late!" He opens the door and walks out "don't worry I'm already ready for once. Let's go." I nod and we head down to Gajeel's apartment door. I knock and he rushes out past us "YA YA! I KNOW I KNOW! Get in the car!" He yelled as Natsu and I laugh.
We hop in the car and he drove off. We pick up Levy and Lisanna while we are at it. "Everyone else will be meeting us at the beach, including Yukino, Sting, Rogue, Kagura, Brandish, Orga, Rufus, and the others that go to our school." I nod. We all laugh and play stupid games. Once we get there Lisanna, Levy, and I jump out as we see the other girls. We run up to them and we all hug and say our hellos. "Let's go eat some breakfast at the beach caffee" Brandish suggested and we all agree. I of course stayed by Natsu's side as much as possible.
After we ate we all headed down to the beach. All the girls stripped off there clothes to show off their bathing suits.

Lucy's, Erza's, and Wendy's:

Lisanna's and Mira's:

Juvia's:

Brandish's:

Levy's:

Kagura's:

Yukino's:

We all headed to water. The guys later joined us. I was splashing Yukino and she was splashing me back as well. Out of no where I felt felt arms wrap around my waist. I turn my head to see Natsu "Natsu what are yo- ah! H-HEY! NONONONONO! PUT ME DOWN!" He picked me up and put me up over his shoulders "damn Luce you light." He says and threw me into the water. I stay under water and yank his leg dragging him under with me. He pulled both of us up to the surface and we laughed. "Hey Natsu, I need to go to the restroom real quick be right back" I say and started to swim back to the surface. I walk into the washroom and go to the restroom. After I'm done I walk out a feel two hands grab me.

Natsu's pov:
I look around the group that was in the water with me. "Has anyone seen Lucy? She's been goin for at least 23 minutes." Everyone looks around and shook their heads "let's all go look just Incase she needs help" Yukino says and we all agree. We all get out of the water and onto the land. We split up to cover more ground and look everywhere. I look over by the Beach Caffee. Of course though she wasn't there.

Lucy's pov:
I feel a hand over my mouth and a hand holding up both of my hands over my head. My eyes shoot open as I see the guy that checked me out yesterday at the mall. "Hey princess." He sakes with a crooked smile. Wait! That crooked smile.. no it can't be! I look at his right eye and surly enough there was the black markings along with his arms. My mind went blank as my eyes widen "so I never got to introduce myself yesterday. My name is Jackal. I already know who you are Lucy." I feel tears sting the ends of my eyes. No.. this can't be happening... and this isn't a dream.
I squirm around trying to do everything in my power to get away from him, but he prevented me from doing so. He stared to touch my naked waist. "Damn Lucy. You barely have any clothes on. Just your bikini and I could get past that easily." He started to slowly untie the back of it. I move around trying to stop him, but I made it worse. It instantly untied and he licked his lips. "MMMMM.. MM!!" Fuck I cant talk! SOMEONE! ANYONE! HELP ME!
Out of nowhere I see Jackal fly away from me. I fall to the ground and I feel arms wrap around me protectively. "LISANNA CALL 911!" That voice.. I looks up and see Natsu.
I began to cry and hug him back. "Here Lucy..." I look back to see Lisanna tying the back of my swimsuit back together. "Lisanna take Lucy and stand back. I'm about to kick this guys ass!" Natsu yells. As Jackal was standing up Natsu came at him and punched him in the face. Jackal and Natsu were fighting while Lisanna held me in her arms while also on the phone with 911. My eyes became heavy and I fell into the darkness.

Lisanna's pov:
I look down to see Lucy asleep. I sigh and kept speaking to the 911 operator. Once I was done she told to stay on the phone with her so I did. "Come one Lucy let's get out of here! Natsu can handle this!" I yelled but she didn't listen. "Come one Lucy! Please snap out of it!" I shake her and look at Natsu "NATSU! SHE'S NOT MOVING! SHE'S IN TOO MUCH SHOCK!" He didn't listen either "damnit!" I text everyone where we were on our group chat. A few minutes later they all show up and I look at them "Lucy won't move!" I yell and Laxus picks her up "seems like Natsu is handling the guy so we should all go. Lisanna did you call 911?" I nodded and with that we all left it up to Natsu.
We get back to Gajeel's car and we set Lucy down in the back seat. "Sis, are you ok?" Gajeel asks and she only slightly nods. Mira and I get in with her and hug her "it's ok Lucy, Natsu will be ok and so will you." She only shook her head "n-no... I.. I had a dream that... he broke into the apartment and killed Natsu... then.. h-he r-raped me!" She began to cry and Gajeel had an evil glint in his eyes "don't do it. We don't want to kill him" Gray says "WELL I SURE THE HELL DO!" Gajeel yells and we all sweat drop.
Soon the cops came and we told them were they were.

Natsu's pov:
I was sitting there with an unconscious bastard beside me for a few minutes. I hear someone run up and I see the cops. "Are you Natsu Dragneel?" I nod and they told me I was free to leave. I walk away and call Levy "hey where are you guys?" She tells me and I walk towards Gajeel's car. Once I get there they all welcome me "where is Lucy?" Lisanna stuck her head out of the car "in here with Mira and I!" I walk over and look on the car. "Hey Luce!" I smile and she looks at me.
"Na...tsu? NATSU!" She jumped out and hugged me. "Your ok!" She yells and I nod "ya, I'm ok Lucy." There was a comfortable silence and then I spoke up "Lucy," She hummed in response "I need to tell you something important." She looked up at me and Yukino yelled out of nowhere "OK! TIME TO GO EVERYONE! LETS LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Lucy and I both laugh as they all walk away.
She turned back to and smiled "so, what do you need to talk-" I cut her off. I crash my lips onto hers and she freezes up. She soon relax into the kiss and kiss me back. YES! SHES KISSING BACK! I pull away and she looks up at me. "... Natsu..." I look away "Lucy.. I really wanted to tell you... that I have feelings for you!" I yell and she blushes. I feel both of her hands move to my red cheeks and pulls my face down, kissing my forehead. "I love you too, Natsu" she smiled and my eyes widen.
I pick her up and hug her "are you serious!?" I yell and she nods while laughing. "Ya, I'm serious Natsu!" We hear squeals coming from out right and we look over to see all of the girls squealing. We laugh and both run to them. Lucy jumps on the pile of girls and laughs. "LULU IS FINALLY GOING OUT WITH NATSU! 30 NALU BABIES!" Mira yells and I shake my head. What even is this friend group. I laugh to myself and walk up to Lucy. I pick her up and run towards the water. Everyone else followed laughing.
We get to the water and I dump Lucy in there "NATSU! IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!" She yelled and I look at everyone "it was fun knowing you all" I salute and Lucy tackles me, kissing me "reminder my promise. I won't ever leave your side Natsu"
