AE to "Complicated" (momojirou)

STOP!!!

Hello! Just wanted to say that this is the first story I've published even if it is just an ending so please acknowledge that I don't write often and I'm pretty bad at it! Anyways, this story is and Alternate Ending (AE) to the story "Complicated" by oiitskaii

I just felt like making another ending would be cool! It's an amazing story and if you read till about chapter 48 or so, you'll understand this story more! Please go read it!!! They're making a sequel called "Conflicted" and it's really good so far! Also, cover was made by me using a picture I found off google.

⚠️TW⚠️ a little suicide mentioned..? It may not bother you but sorry if it does!

Jirou POV:

I'm sitting in the kitchen and everybody else who is awake is on the couches, including...her.

Yaomomo looks terrible...she hasn't been eating or drinking regularly, she doesn't look like she's had a decent amount of sleep forever, and she seems to be having more and more trouble focusing in class. What is wrong with her?! Why is she all messed up? 

I was the one who was used by her. She played with my feelings and used me as a rebound from stupid Todoroki! So why is she acting like she's in so much pain?!?!

I take a deep breath in..I don't want to think about this right now. I take out my phone and plug in my earphone jack while I scroll through songs.

I settle on a piano song to hopefully calm my thoughts at least a little. After a while though I hear Yaomomo's voice and someone walking sort of my direction but not straight towards me. I think she said she was going to go or something.

I look up from my phone and see that Yaomomo was in the kitchen washing a glass I think she had been using. She looks to the side and notices a knife that Sato had washed but not put away yet. She just stares at it, not moving or putting it away. Just staring...

What is she doing? Why's she just staring at a knife?

She wasn't acknowledging any of her surroundings, including me so she didn't see me looking at her. I noticed that her eyes seemed different. Her eyes that were always sparkling and full of life seemed...dull. Her eyes that I loved were dull and lifeless, as if all energy had been drained from her.

I was about to look back at my phone, but she finally moved and her hand hovered above the knife as if she couldn't decide whether to grab it or not. She looked towards where the class was and studied them for a second.

They were all chatting and facing away from her and I. I looked away quickly as she moved to look at me. I don't think she noticed my staring and I really hoped she didn't. I'm still really mad at her and I don't want her to try and talk to me.

Out of the corner of my eye I could tell she kept her gaze on me for a couple seconds before looking back at her hand still hovering over the knife. After another couple seconds she grabbed it and I looked at her again without making her notice. 

Did it really take her that long to decide whether to put the knife away? What was that all about? Wait. Why is she not putting it away?

Questions keep running through my mind before they're stopped by Yaomomo suddenly walking really fast out of the kitchen and outside still while holding the knife, though it was mostly out of view.

I didn't want to talk to her or get close to her in any way but my curiosity made me get up and follow her. I quietly walked the way I saw her go and watched as she lifted up her shirt and started making a ladder.

What the heck? First, she grabs a knife and tries to hide it while she walks away with it. Second, she comes outside even though the curfew Aizawa had set for us to be back inside was in like 3 minutes. And third, she's making a ladder.

It really looks like making it is taking a lot out of her. Her breathing is heavier and it's as if she was getting to her limit with creation. Normally making a ladder would be super easy for Yaomomo and done in a flash. Now it's sort of slow and draining her quickly.

She's in a worse state than I thought...she doesn't even have much energy to create anything. But that still doesn't answer why. Why's she hurt so much?

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when her creation finishes and she takes a second to catch her breath. She quietly and carefully puts the ladder against the school gate and climbs it with the knife in one of her hands.

Did Yaomomo just leave school grounds at night without permission?! She would never do that!

At this point I'm really starting to wonder why she's doing all this. I walk over to the ladder and climb it just like her and jump off the side of the gate. I look around and see her walking pretty fast towards the nearby forest.

I speed walk after her as quietly as I can and after a couple minutes she stops and so do I. I duck around a tree as she scans her surroundings. It's a good thing she doesn't look to closely because even though it's night, there are some little lights here and there that UA placed and if she were to look closely, she would probably see me.

Yaomomo leans her back against a tree and takes a long, shaky breath. Honestly, I'm starting to get more concerned than mad. She looks like she's on the verge of tears. Then, as a tear goes down her cheek, she holds up the knife and looks at it before holding it so it's pointing at her stomach.

What. The. Fuck. Is she really going to stab herself..? Is that why she came all the way out here..?

The only emotions I feel right now are fear and concern...and they're for her and her only. She closes her eyes pulls her hands far out in front of her stomach while tightly gripping the knife...but I react before she can shove it into herself.

I run out from where I was and wrap my earphone jacks around her arms so there's no way she can continue what she was about to do. "YAOMOMO WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"

She immediately drops the knife and her eyes shoot open. She looks at me, tears streaming down her face. "J-Jirou..? What are you d-doing..?"

"No! Not 'what am I doing,' what are YOU doing?!"

And that's the AE!

No I'm kidding, but that's where I'm stopping for now! I'm very slow at writing and have terrible motivation so I definitely will not update often but if people read this then I'll try! Have a good day/night/evening!!! Once again, the original writer and sort of inspiration for this is oiitskaii !
