Left Alone

Gogo

Gogo POV

I leave the others, crying with my head in my hands.  I want to tell them about my past, but I can't bring myself around to relive the pain and sadness.  Whenever I think about the past I always start to cry and fear the things that have happened to me could happen again.  I sit in my lab crying thinking about my parents, my uncle, my old school, running away and meeting Tadashi.  The things that I've faced in the past, I could never face them again, no matter how strong I've become.  I hear someone knock at my door and I look up to see Hiro standing there a bit nervously.  "You don't have to tell me about your past if you don't want to.  I just want you to know that I'm here for you, we all are." he says to me.  "I want to tell you, but I can't relive the pain that I've been through." I tell him.  He comes and sits next to me and I hug him, burying my face in his chest and continue to cry.  "It's okay.  Just tell me when you're ready." he says hugging me back.  I take a few minutes to compose myself before starting.

"When I was 5 my parents died.  We were driving home from the airport after visiting Disney World when we got involved in a car crash.  The other car hit the front of ours, killing my parents, fortunately I was the only person in both cars that was able to survive." I tell him, as he pulls me into a tight hug knowing what it feels like to lose your parents.  "I moved in with my uncle, but that's when the real trouble started." I say, thinking of all the things he's done to me.  I take a break trying to compose myself and stop myself from crying as I continue.

"He called himself the "Gujoja' which means the saviour or rescuer.  The funny thing is, when I was with him all I needed was to be saved or rescued.  He disciplined me by beating me everyday.  This was because when I got older, he wanted me to fear him and it worked." I say, thinking how scared I am to be alone because of him.  "I've never felt so small and alone in my life, besides the years I spent with him.  Slowly he made me into his servant and did everything he asked, out of fear for what he would do to me if I didn't listen.  When I was 8 I tried to call the police, but he stopped me and made my punishments extra painful so I'd never do it again, and I didn't." I continue.  When I look at Hiro I see that he's shocked and horrified with everything that's happened to me.  "When I was 13 other students started to see my bruises.  I told them that I accidentally hurt myself riding my bike or something, worried what might happen to me if I told them the truth.  Someone called the police one day and they showed up while he was beating me and they arrested him." I say to Hiro, who looks a bit relieved that he got locked up.  "The last thing he said to me was that he would get out and come for me.  Which is why I'm afraid of being alone.  It's also why I decided to run all the way Seoul Diego to San Fransokyo, to try starting a new life and get far away from him." I continue.

"It took me 2 weeks but I finally made it here.  Along the way I met some dodgy people who said they would help me get here, normally I would've said no but I was desperate.  Some did keep their promise, but others tried to keep me as their own so I could continue helping them.  Eventually I got here but there was one problem.  I was alone, scared, tired, had no food, water, money, spare clothes, friends or family that could help me out so I did the only thing I could, live on the streets." I say looking at Hiro, who looks shocked that I actually lived on the streets.  "Days past and almost nobody helped me, until Tadashi came. If it wasn't for him, then I'd probably be on the streets still." I say, coming close to tears as Hiro gives me another hug.

"He gave me a small apartment, money, food and water. He checked on me everyday making sure I was okay, and he helped me find myself again. I asked him why he decided to help me and he said, "Well someone has to help." I got into racing because I loved the speed and adrenaline of it. I made my electromagnetic suspension bike and was able to get into SFIT through the showcase like you did. Here I met Fred, Honey Lemon and Wasabi and for once in my life I felt like I belonged here. Tadashi was going to get me a better apartment, but I told him I'd rather live with one of the others because of want happened to me and my fear. So, I moved in with Honey Lemon instead." I tell Hiro, who I can tell thinks I've finished but I haven't. "Then, Tadashi died. The person who helped me the most, just gone. If it wasn't for him I'd probably still be on the streets begging for food. Someone who I cared about and owe everything that I have today, and I never got a chance to pay him back and show him how grateful I was for him." I say thinking of what he done for me and where I'd be without him.

"I also met you." I say, shocking Hiro that he's being mentioned. "You've pushed us all to be better than we already are. You made us Big Hero 6. You mean so much to me and everyone else. Then, I almost lost you too. You mean more to me than anyone else, and you sacrificed yourself for me before I could tell you how I felt about you. I love you Hiro." I say, then realize what I just said trying not to blush. I look at Hiro with his mouth open, completely shocked with what I just said. "Gogo I-" he starts as I prepare for the rejection and heartbreak. "I love you too." he says shocking me. This time I look at him shocked before he kisses me, shocking me again but I kiss him back. We stay like this for a bit, embracing each other with all our love. Then, right before we were going to pull away from the kiss, we see and are interrupted by a familiar flash.
