Traitorous Love

Chapter 57- Come and Find Me

I woke up in cold sweat and with the need to throw up. I run to the bathroom and last nights ramen spills out of my guts. Flushing my guts down, I look at myself in the mirror; I look the same. It's as if the last eight months hadn't happened. It's as if I didn't make the terrible decision to do my work study with Hawks.

I grab a rubber band from the counter and quickly tied my hair out of my face and spilled my guts into the toilet again. What drug did he use? I sat next to the toilet breathing hard, the taste of throw-up in my mouth. I think there is a little bit of it in my hair.

I feel disgusting.

Slowly, I stand on my feet, holding the counter for support. I wash my face and brush the taste of vomit out of my mouth and go to the kitchen to get some water. The cool liquid sends chills down my body, whatever he gave me was definitely some kind of dehydrate.

I look out the window, the sun is already up high in the blue sky. It's unbearably bright, and I look away, shielding my eyes. I look at the time; it is 1pm, and like clockwork my stomach rumbles in hunger, but that's not my main thought.

I run back to my room, to where Hawks had been standing and check for the button. He had been holding it, and even taunted me with it. Did he take it? I look on the dresser, in the drawers and under the gigantic piece of furniture.

Nothing.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to take it. I'm sure he would know that it has a tracker and they would know the second it started to move away from the property.

I have a decision to make, and I need to get all my thoughts down. I walk to the mirror and grab one of my expo markers and begin writing. Hawks came last night I wrote. Beneath it I continued writing: Does not side w/heroes; Dabi wants revenge; I rack my brain for more information, but I can't remember. I'll come back to it if anything else comes to mind.

In a new bullet point I write Commissions are using me as bait beneath that I write not concerned for my safety, clearly keeping villain capture a priority.

A realization hits me. If Hawks took the button and was able to get into this supposed protected fortress, then they're making their move soon. They know that the button is going to be tracked, and they don't want me to be able to get help. They probably know that the commissions are using me for bait because Hawks has that kind of information. They know that if I can't call for help, then I am stuck and it's going to be easy to get me.

If all of this is true, then I am sure they're not going to make their move until tonight, because being in the sunlight is going to be too exposing for them, unless they are that brave and think they can get here in broad daylight, they're going to make their move as early as tonight. If I'm lucky? They'll make their move tomorrow.

I don't think I'm that lucky.

"What is it Y/n?" Aizawa is irritated on the other line.

"Hey, so where am I?" I ask, putting a change of clothes into a bag. I started packing because as crazy as it sounds, I think I need to run away. Maybe I'm just being paranoid and I'm making this issue much bigger than it needs to be, but that's not going to stop me from leaving this place, that clearly isn't about protecting me.

"What are you talking about?" He asks. I definitely grabbed his attention.

"Like where in the world am I? Where did we drive to a month ago? Where did you drop me off a month ago?"

"A few hours out of town Y/N, why do you ask?" I can tell he's moving around.

I take a quick look at my bag, and my checklist, everything is in there, "I don't know, just curious, honestly. Thanks, I'll get out of your hair now,"

"Alright Y/N," he says a little urgently, "I'll talk to you later,"

"Bye," I hung up the phone and zipped my bag. It wasn't too big, just small enough for me to carry with no problem, but not too small that I couldn't fit anything. I figured Aizawa wouldn't tell me anything so I turned on my location on my phone and looked to see exactly how far I really was and made the plan.

I pulled the notes app on my phone and began typing away as I leaned against the bed.

1) Walk to city

2) Take a cab to mom and dad

3) Sneak in and tell mom and dad what's going on

4) TBA

Well, the fourth step is going to be based off of what Mom and dad have to say. They won't be happy with my decision, but whether I'm just paranoid or not these are the facts. The commission is more focused on getting the villains, the supposed safe house is not a safe house, and I have a big target on my back.

"Sometimes you have to save yourself because no one else will do it,"

Thanks mom for the words of wisdom. 

I grab my bag, my phone and put on my shoes. It's 7pm, the sun is setting. I told myself I would leave before I would change my mind and stay, because I think if I stay, I'm going to be royally screwed. 

I tied my shoes on tight, took a deep breath, and walked out of the house. I was faced with the orange sky, a beautiful sky that could have been passed off for a painting. And then I ran into the woods, without looking back. 

Hawks POV

It was my idea to "look inside this new 'safe house'". I wanted to check on her, make sure she was okay.... and then I drugged her. I need her to be mad at me, furious with me. She needs to be so mad that she wants to rip my head off, which I think given the chance, she will. 

It's night now. The stars are out- it's a clear sky, and Dabi is impatient, or rather (but he won't admit this) he's worried. He wants Y/N for his super-secret, and frankly, insane plans, but he has waited too long and now he's running out of time. 

In all honesty when we walked into the house I didn't know what I expected to find, but I was utterly thrilled to see Y/N's message on the mirror written in black expo marker 

Come and find me.
