Demigod by Summer, Hero-in-training by School Year

A start toward the light

(A/N yo sorry bout the long wait I’ve been caught up with school and stuff so uh heres and extra long chapter)   
“What is it like?” Kirishima asked
    “It feels empty and numb most days and I don’t feel like doing anything. Other days I’m in here drowning out the sounds of my sobbing with the music I play on repeat. It's kind of like there's a dark cloud around you and you can’t find the things that make you happy. When I am out of my room nothing feels genuine. It feels like i’m acting like I’m putting on a show when inside I don’t feel anything. It is incredibly difficult to get through and most days I feel like I shouldn’t be here.” I opened up talking through my tears and hiccups from all my crying. Kirishima scooped me up in his arms and sat behind me just holding me there. 
    “You have to persevere. Don't think about the fact that you’re going to lose or that you can’t take it, think about the fact that you are going to make it because you have to push through it because you will persevere. You will end up being the winner, you will end up being the champion, you will end up being happy, you will end up living out your life and your dreams and everything. You have to persevere, push through it, think about the smiles on your face and all of your friends' faces when you persevere because you will” (Quote by Dreamwastaken after defeating the ender dragon during his shock stream) He said in a kind and soothing voice. “I love you and I will never stop loving you no matter what depression or no I love you for you and I am here to help you through it."     “Thank you kirishima” I said hugging him tighter “ I love you too”
“And I think if you are comfortable with it you should talk with Aizawa and recovery girl to help you out” 
“I don’t know I do want help but it is hard to talk about” 
“I will be there with you if you want me to,” He offered kindly. 
“Ok thank you” I said, wiping my tears and hugging him one last time. 
“Now what do you say we come out of your room and go watch a movie with the rest of the class?” He asked. I nodded, grabbed a blanket, and followed him outside of my room for the first time in forever. 
We walked out and the couches were set up around the TV. The baku squad was all sitting together which is where me and Kirishima sat. The rest of the class was spread out with Sato and Momo making snacks for us. I sat down next to Kiri and he put an arm around me while wrapping us both in a blanket.
“Baylee we are so glad to have you out here with us. Would you mind if I pulled you over here in the hall for a second to talk to you?” Iida said, waving his hand out like a robot as he normally does. I got up and walked uncomfortably towards him leaving Kirishima’s side. “Are you ok we haven't seen you in a while? You know you can come to us and talk about anything with us. Please tell me!” He almost demanded but also didn’t at the same time. 
“I’m sorry I don’t feel comfortable sharing that kind of information with you” I said as I walked back to Kirishima. The movie we watched was Monty Python and the Holy Grail because I requested it and it was funny to me. It has been one of my favorite movies since i can remember. 

TIME SKIIIPPPP
    “Good morning class,” Aizawa said once we got back to school. Finally we were back in the classroom and not just doing busy work. We started off with our math class where we started on a new unit working with trigonometry (which the author hates with a passion). The concepts were pretty easy to get the hang of and after a while the class ended and we moved on to our health class. (Idk if they actually have a health class but it seems very beneficial to becoming a hero) The rest of the class and the day lingered on. I sat with Kiri at lunch and then there were a few more classes and I went home to the dorms. 
As i was working on an assignment that was due tomorrow during health the intercom speaker in my room sounded “Calling Baylee Hansen to the teachers dorm rooms please report immediately.” So, I got up and started walking over to the teachers dorms to see what I was called about. When I knocked on the front door Aizawa answered and took me into a room with a recovering girl and Kirishima. Oh no what did I do now. I thought to myself I hoped with all my heart that I wouldn’t be expelled as I had been expelled from several schools in America because I had caused, to put it lightly, a little bit of trouble. 
    “Did I do something wrong?” I asked, my voice shaking with anxiety. 
    “No, we have just been informed by your class president that there has been something wrong with you for the past little while,” Aizawa said calmly while motioning to the seat next to Kiri as if asking me to sit down. I obeyed the cue and sat down. “Would you like to tell us what has been going on?” Aizawa asked in an understanding voice. I took a deep breath and started with the simple stuff like losing my motivation then as I got to the more deep stuff hot tears started to roll down my cheeks and Kiri put a comforting arm around me. When I finished Recovery Girl put a glass of water in front of me while smiling kindly.  
“Dear, it sounds like you may be suffering from depression, and it sounds like it has been going on for a while. I know of a few things that can help you ok? I’m going to put the ball in your court. We can start you on some low dose medication, give you some tharapy, or we can let you try to handle this on your own. I will let you choose” She said in a kind voice.
    “I think I want to start on the medication” I said.
