Wake me up before you go

On we go

Aizawa's POV:
When we almost arrived home Hizashi asked to talk. Haru let go off my hand and ran inside.
"T-thank you for everything." I say to him.
"N-no problem... I just want to say thank you for the time we spent together, and your sister was...delightful.... Next time maybe we can hangout at my place...."
"Yes I would like that...ahh but I don't know if we can." for a moment we stared into each other's eyes and it seemed like the air froze
What is this? It feels as if we were locked in a different world. This is stupid... no falling in love for you sir, a voice in my head said, and of course he was right.
I looked away from Hizashi.
"I like you Hizashi."
"Wait really?!" I look up at him again.
"I like you so much I hate you... I can't do this again..." I turned to walk into the house, he called out to me but I didn't stop.
When I walked in my parents were waiting right there for me.
"What took you so long?" My fathers tone was low but angry.
"I-I was out with a friend, I a-asked..."
"You didn't say you would be gone for that long." Now he was raising his voice...
"I-I-I just thought-" he slapped me, and then again and again and again. But this time he was beating me.
I let the pain take over me it flooded through my body and made my brain hazy.
I remember being dragged to my room by my hair and seeing my mom crying slightly but turned her back as she smoked. A nasty habit father gave her.
When I came to it was morning and my sister was caring to my wounds, she was crying.
"D-don't cry Haru." I tried to move and hold her but my arm fell and I inhaled sharply, pain coursed through my body.
She cried harder.
"W-why don't you leave? Why do you stay you stupid onii-Chan!"
"I-it's okay." I gave her a soft smile.
"No no nooooo." She sobbed. "Please.... Please leave..."
"I can't, I won't leave you."
"I-I'll be fine, they never touch me..."
"Yea...." That's how I reply but I truthfully don't know how long they'll keep that up.
They started this when I was 10 and Haru's 8.
She can erase people's memories but because she's still young and doesn't know how to control it she could end up erasing all their memories and not just a few selected...
"O-onii-Chan, are you okay? You're zoning out again..."
"I-it's okay... I'm sorry..."

Even though my body hurts I somehow managed to get to the bathroom.
I leered into the mirror, braced myself and touched my eye.
"Ouch!" I Yelped and think myself dumb to touch it.
I heard a little bit of rummaging and then stop, I was scared... was it my dad.
I couldn't look away from the door... I'm stuck, but when I saw it to be my mother a sigh of relief escaped my lips.
"What? Happy it's not your father."
"The truth?... yeah..." she stood there frozen and then moved.
"I brought you an ice pack, and make up." She dropped it in the sink and went to leave but I caught her arm.
"Mom!" She turned towards me startled.
"Why do you stay with him? Why don't we leave you, Haru, and I!?"
From painful to angry she lifted up her hand and I flinched. Bracing myself for impact but it never comes.
I open my eyes and look at her the anger dissolves and she sighs.
"Let me show you how to use it."
