Bloody Mary

Blade against my skin

I sat in a hot, humid, dark room. Sweat falling down my neck and my forehead. The fact that my hair was tied up in a ponytail and that I had barely any clothes on didn't really help the heat rising from my chest and my head. My hands shaking with sobs slowlly escaping my mouth along with tears that mixed with the sweat; my hand held a small crafts knife. I bit my lip as I slowly pressed the blade against my index finger; my skin. Heavy breathing echoed inside my small closet that fitted nothing but my pillows and I.

As I was about to let the blade cruise down my index finger, I hear a knock from out side the closet. The sound echoed throughout the room that barely held anything. With just a desk and an office chair, the sound bounced off the wall, allowing the sound to dance throughout my room.

I let in a sharp breath and wiped my tears...

I quickly hid the knife from under the pillow behind me and placed my laptop on my open lap and clicked play. I fixed my airpuds to my ears and pressed play to watch an anime about a green haired boy and how he became a hero...

The door opened-
which meant..

8 steps

1...2... I put my shirt on and fixed it.
3... I lifted the device.
4... I put a blanket over my leg.
5... I put my glasses on.
6... 7... I got my water bottle and opened it.
8... I hear knocking as loud as bangs on my door.

I turned and looked up at the door, around where I believed this person's eyes would be.

I smiled the best smile that I could possibly in that momment and it felt like the door opened slowly...
I could feel my heartbeat so fast that I could run a mile in 5 seconds in that speed.

And then it struck me---

My eyes wide open, I turned back to the eye-damagind bright screen infront of me...

It'd look really werid if I'm smilling while looking at the door with... possibly puffy eyes.

The door opened.

"Hi there!" the man that stood by my "bed room" door said as he smiled.

"Hi Aaron..." I said as I turned to look at him.

"How are you?" he asked with a soft smile.

"I'm okay," I responded before turning back to the screen.

"Why do your eyes look puffy... were you crying?" he questioned as he crossed his arms.

"It's this anime... he's so passionate but... he gets hurt all the time... it's sad..." I said with an akward smile that PERFECTLY complimented my puffy, pathetic-looking eyes.

"Rachie..." he smiled at me knowingly, as if to insult me. "you sure it's that?" he said as he crouched down, matching my eyes.

I nodded my head yes, smiling, and turned back to watching the soft boy willingly torturing himself...

I mean, I didn't lie...
He's passionate and gets hurt all the times... and does it willingly... which makes it sad.

"So very sad..." I repeated as I tilted my head to the side and watched the young green haired boy clean trashed beach for the - I wont say "millioneth" 'cuz that would be exaggerating a bit too much but... yeah - for the millioneth time.

I snickered as I watched the mentor saving this memory by taking a picture of the green haired boy crying after being told he was weak.

The man beside me stood up and waved me goodbye then walking to my doorway. Before closing the door he peered through and asked if I wanted to join him and my mother for a movie night as a family. I stuck my head out - even though he can't see me, because of the desk that seperates us and turns 2-3 steps into 8-9 steps from my door to my closet - I shook my head and said no.

With that, he left and closed the door. I went back to my closet and closed the door for it and clicked play and continued watching the soft boi train. I smiled as I watched him...

"Man... wouldn't it be nice to be in a world with powers...." I smiled as I thought this, leaning back and looking at the dimly lit small space that gave me comfort.

I got a small pouch from beneath the thick blanket the that I sat on to feel more comfortable. It was a green pouch [ Deku ] with white strips that contained a double-sided earphone jack [ Jirou ], a purple face mask [KEEP A DISTANCE OF 6 FEET], a wrapped up eye mask that's shaped as a cloud and says: enjoy the moonlight [ Tsukishima ], black ear buds [ Denki ('cuz hero constume headphones)], an eye glasses class that's decorated as a game controller [ Kenma and Iida ]. Inside the case, I had a purple lighter [ Dabi, Shoto, Bakugou ], a crafts knife [ Momo and Toga ], a roll of chapstick [ Shigaraki ], 2 bulletin board taks [ Kirishima ], and a skull from the necklace of a friendo.

I disconnected my earpuds and grabbed the earbuds. I plugged them into my laptop and listened to music, leaning back on my pillows and grabbing the pride (rainbow) colored pillow. I got the eye mask and put them on because it made it fell like I was with Tsukki... in a weird way. As if he were holding his hands over my eyes to put me to sleep. I turned my head up and looked down through the small gaps of my eyes mask. I picked a random song and turned my laptop's brightness down. With that, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

As I feel asleep... I thought to myself that being in the My Hero Academia world would be cool and that if I were to choose my quirk... it would be something related to blood and knives... and having to cut myself to activate it...

If I can do it in that world... or in my dreams... I have a higher chance of being able to do it in real life.

"Wait-- so... you're telling me that I'm in the My Hero Academia world?"

"So~ are you going to kill me? or... what?"

"Can I borrow that knife real quick? I WON'T ATTACK YOU GUYS, I swear... plus, even if I did.. it wouldn't take me very far-"

"Wow... so- I guess I DO have a quirk... cool... this- this is kind of weird--- wow"

"No- sorry, I don't think I can do that..."
