Hate. Despised. Anger. Loathing.

I knew that they all hated me. I came back from a solo job in Hargeon. It was a simple delivery job to a friend of Master's. I've been taking solo jobs since Lisanna came back from Edolas. She was welcomed with open arms, leaving me all alone. Natsu, Gray, and Erza were all fawning over her. Mira hardly talked to me, even when I told her I had a crush on someone. Even though it was a lie, it was a vain attempt to gain her attention for just a moment. Levy didn't even pay much attention to me. Natsu and Gray fought over who was going to talk to Lisanna. I was completely ignored by everyone. Master was the only one who noticed the hurt I was feeling. Every time he tried to coax me into talking about it, I would just breakdown in his office. He made a deal with me. He would pay my rent, if I helped him find Laxus and deliver letters to him. I had no such luck in finding him so far, though.

I just walked into the guild hall, ready to tell Master the bad news when I saw them. Natsu and Lisanna were holding hands. I felt my heart shatter. I managed to make it upstairs and into Master's office before crying.

"Child, tell me what bothers you so deeply." He asked with such affection in his eyes.

I swallowed. "Natsu and Lisanna, they're dating, now, aren't they?" I practically yelled.

He frowned. "Your love is unrequited, is it not?"

I nodded as more tears flowed down my cheeks, making rivers down them.

Master stood and patted my head as he let me cry. He waited for me to empty all my tears before sending me home with kind words. "Perhaps, it was not meant to be just yet. Perhaps there is another, we can only bare through it. That is how we live, with pain, with happiness, with everything. It is how we go though it that makes our lives worthwhile."

I was walking home when I saw a flash of blonde enter my apartment building. I quickly forgot my sadness as I followed the figure. It was leaning against the wall next to my door. I couldn't see his face because of the lack of light in this hallway. I attempted to ignore him and just approach my door when a hand stuck out in front of me.

"I hear you've been looking for me."

I recognized his voice.

"Laxus," I breathed. "Where have you been?!"

He laughed. "Chill, Blondie. I've been around. Travelling."

I laughed with him inwardly. He's such an idiot. "You're grandfather has been looking for you. Not me. I'm just the messenger. He has a letter for you. Come on in. I'll go get it."

He blinked at me. "You're not scared of me? Even after all I've done to you?"

"Not really, I have worse things to deal with right now, than to be scared of you."

"Like what, Blondie?" He asked casually.

I unlocked the door and walked into my lovely abode. I went straight to my desk, where the letter was. "Like Natsu and Lisanna. They're dating now."

"That's not possible. Lisanna's dead." He practically yelled.

"She was transported to another world called Edolas when she died. Then Edolas' magic finally was expelled into our world, Earthland. But that doesn't matter. All that matters now is that the precious little Lisanna is back at the guild."

"Ouch, that was a bit harsh, don't you think?" He asked when I handed him the letter.

"Did it sound harsh? Oh well, it's true. They all forgot about me anyway. I'm only still there because it would just kill Master if I left."

He blinked at me again. "If you're not happy, do something about it. Change your life."

I ignored him and just sat on my couch. "What are you doing her still? I gave you what I was supposed to, now just go."

"No!" He yelled and grabbed my wrist as I stood up and started to walk towards my bedroom. "What happened to make the guild forget you?! You're the loudest most cheerful person there. It's impossible to ignore you!"

I turned to look at him. "Shut up, you have no idea what I'm capable of."

"Don't threaten me, Blondie. We're so similar it's not even funny." H looked into my eyes. "Our father's abandoned us. "Our mother's died when we were kids. We both strive to be strong but it's always just out of our reach."

It was my turn to blink at him. Soon my defensive nature kicked in and I found myself angry. "Shut up! I would never abandon my family!" I swung my leg and gave him a classic "Lucy Kick." He caught my foot and smirked.

"You won't abandon them. You'll just keep them in a different place in your heart." His orange eyes clashed with my brown ones. He let go of both my wrist and foot and opened the letter from Master. His eyes widened and he scrunched the letter in his fist. He took my wrist and dragged me out of my apartment and to the guild. I didn't bother trying to protest. It was futile. We stopped at the guild doors. "You go in there now and you tell him how you feel. You give each of them a piece of your mind. No woman should ever have to cry, except for tears of pure happiness. Now don't you dare cry and you tell him exactly how you feel."

He shoved me into the guild hall, resulting the entire guild's attention on me. I wanted to disappear. I took baby steps over to Natsu and Lisanna. She just scowled at me while Natsu gave me that adorable toothy grin of his. "What's up, Luce?"

"Natsu, I… I love… I love you!" I started to tear up when Laxus came up behind me and prevented me from running away.

Lisanna had begun to laugh. "Did you really think you were able to take him from me?" It was loud enough for only me, Laxus and Natsu to hear.

Something inside me snapped. I reached over the table and grabbed her by her shirt, lifting her off the ground. "Listen up, Lisanna. I was against the idea of even confessing to him. You're the reason all my friends haven't talked to me in four months! Every single person except for Master and now Laxus haven't even said hello to me. It's your fault I've been isolated and alone!"

The entire guild was silent. The only sound was Laxus' hand patting my shoulder. Natsu stood and glared at me. His fist flared into flames and he swung. Hitting me in the cheek, I was sent into Laxus' chest.

"What the hell, Natsu!?" Laxus yelled. "How dare you hit my Lucy!"
