The Red String of Fate [ NaLu ]

Chapter 16

So I got a message from someone asking if they could do a review on my seires. For anyone who wants to do this in the future: I give you permisson to write anything about this fan fiction as long as you don't copy it (say idk you re-wrote it, although that hasn't happened) so write away. I enjoy reading your comments. Sorry if I reply late, I'm pretty usless.

Also: I apologise, immensely, for being so late with an update. It must be annoying.

I tossed and turned all through the night. Why did it bother me so much? I didn't understand. Shiori wasn't in, she was working, and my father- well I didn't know where he was. I lost track. Well, more like I had given up on him.

It wasn't until 12am that I heard Shiori enter the house. It had been a stormy night. I ran down to see her when I found out she wasn't alone. "Yuu?" I questioned. The were both startled.
"Luce!" Shiori jumped "aren't you in bed? It's a school night"
"Couldn't sleep, what's going on?" They both looked at each other and then back at me.
"We were with your father" father? Why wasn't he with them then.
"What happened?" I investigated further.
"Later Lucy, I'm tired right now." Shiori shut me down. Why were they being so secretive?
"But-"
"Lucy!" Yuu snapped. I turned away faster than I ever had before. Why did he shout at me? What was happening? "Wait, I'm so-" I ran up the stairs and slammed my door behind me.

"Luce!" I heard Shiori fumble up the stairs. Her hands banged on my door. I slid down it so I was on the floor. "H-he didn't mean it like that! I swear! We'll tell you if it gets worse but...I just don't want to see you getting hurt again" I went to open the door but when I did she was already gone.

The next morning she had already left. It looked like my father didn't even return home that night. I kicked over a kitchen stool in annoyance. Hadn't he learnt from the last time?! My phone buzzed. It was Natsu. "You're going to be late!" Was what I received. I grabbed my bag and ran out. I couldn't deal with him right now. I wanted my mother.

"Chubs" she called out. I had arrived at school. Her uniform had obviously came and she wore it well, better than anyone. "I have a request"
"From me?"
"Well duh!" She rolled her eyes as she walked up to me. "Bring your so called friends and come to the school with me"
"Wait what?" It was so sudden. "The school? Friends? With you?"
"Just some, not a lot. See the thing is the girls are having a closing party and I was given the job of inviting past members. It just so happened I was put into this school which you went to. So here I am asking the last guest to the party."
"So you weren't here to torment me"
"You're not special"
"I'll think about it" I left her then.

"And so that's what happened" I told Ezra and Levy. They both sat in silent. "So should I go or-"
"I can't believe we're invited as well!" Levy lit up.
"This will be such a classy event" Ezra started planning out her outfit in her head.
"Guys!" I sighed at them.
"Juvia will join as well" Juvia popped up. "We could bring our boy friends" she added. I blushed at the thought, as did Ezra. Levy quickly spoke up with
"But I don't have a boyfriend"
"Oh, Juvia believed you and Gajeel-San were now dating" Levy's face turned tomato red.
"We-we're not"
"It's fine, I'll get him to come with you" Ezra was determined. "Juvia you organise transport and Lucy you get the invites from Kani"
"But-" the bell cut me off and all three of them rushed off still planning. "I'm doomed!"
