Hero Behind The Doors

Outside

Days...Months...Years...what are they really? What is time?

My mom was in the kitchen,making pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast. We both cared the most important meal of the day. She saw my sleepy face and the plushie I've been holding like a baby in my arms,her lips turned into a soft smile. "Good morning my baby and of course good morning to you too pici." I smiled as I lift up the old damaged plushie,it was a rabbit,which I managed to eat his cheeks and nose as a baby. This toy was a gift to my mom from her friend for her birthday which was long before she married dad,after she had me she thought I should have it since she can't do anything with a plushie.

Which was a wise decision since pici ended up being my best friend,the only thing protected me from dark and bad people it was a representation of my mom,her love was inside of this bunny. Her soft and strong arms wrapped me in a tight hug. This was love wasn't it,the feeling of safety and happiness. I smiled up to my mom hoping that it would be enough to make her smile. Our breakfasts are usually same since dad is never around we barely use the large table in the livingroom,we just ate it in the kitchen. Marble gray kitchen table is my favorite because I can lay on it,the cold surface cooling down the heat from my cheeks,the smoothness of the marble. Everything my eyes could see was old in our house,I never complained because even though our furniture is old I cared and liked them. Our comfy blue puffy couch,mixed cardboard,mismatched TV unit,and broken bookcase,everything inside of this house,they where ours and I couldn't do much but to love them.

Despite not having dad around our days wasn't so bad,after breakfast mom and I went to our casual walk,we would walk around the neighborhood and make our way to the hill. Where you can see the whole town far away,since we couldn't afford living there I could only watch it from a distance."Mom can we go there one day? I want to see how big city looks like." She approvingly smiled and agreed to take me there before my school starts. We would wait until the sun is set after than we would make our way back home. Neighborhood kids still would be outside playing games together,the people I wanted to join and play with.

Ever since dad stopped being around us neighborhood kids changed,they started to talk about mom and me in different ways,I never understood why. My mom was calm about it she didn't respond to them,she promised to me that I would have friends to play with when school starts. I believed my mom I didn't need any friends either I had my mom and pici with me almost always. My life was simple and beautiful because of them,I didn't need dad either,he was never with us anyway,I only wanted to make my mom happy and my grandma proud she was living in another country because of dads job he took us here. Soon she would be here,grandma loved me and mom very much. She was the coolest.

We continued living our lives apart from dad,cooped up in our house,getting busy with our daily duties,mom was busy with preparing school papers,as a quirkless child it was going to be so different for me to go for a school filled with many children different quirks and looks. It was actually exciting I always wanted to know more about people and the talents they had. I would open the old computer we had in my parents bedroom,search up for heroes,I never had a favorite I preferred to like them equally. All Might standed out the most,of course there where many others but him,he was so unique,the big smile he had on his face the safety feeling he gives. I wished I could be like him so that I could save mom. Maybe even find the Star man who broke our window and catch him.

Soon after my mom was done with papers and everything she took me with her to the center of the town,the big city I always wished to see. This place was where my school is,since our factory distinct was too occupied and shapeless they couldn't build a school. The nearest one was here,at the center. Among with crowded streets,traffic honking cars,blasting sounds,and humans everywhere,I could even see some heroes. I started to feel so small,and anxious "this is scary." I thought to myself. "How can people not get lost here? Do they carry those things called compass? Why do they have so many cars? The buildings do they touch the sky?" I was bombarding mom with my boring questions. She was happy,she answered all of my questions with patience.

I was truly amazed at how beautiful and scary big city can look. Just for a second I let my moms hand go so i could scratch my cheek since i was holding pici with my left arm. After scratching I realized I walked away from my mom,she was nowhere to be seen,the crowd was moving so fast,I panicked and started to get scared,someone pushed me,other one hit my head,and my tears started to spill,I gripped pici harder than before. I decided to get away from the crowd so I can see my mom or someoe else. These people was scary they where hitting me or pushing me away. Unfortunately I didn't know how city works,I stepped to the crosswalk,and then straight to the highway. Where cars comes at my way on full speed I couldn't move I knew It was going to hit me but i couldn't move. I closed my eyes and buried my face to my pici's chest. Letting everything happen.
