"Big Bro! I did it!" You ran to him all smiles and happiness. "I can finally swim by myself!!"

He looked at you eyes nearly popping out of his head.

"What how? And you went swimming by yourself? You could've drowned!!"

"It's okay my new friend helped me. He saved me and told me what I was doing wrong! He says he knows about a secret pond that I can practice at. He wants to take me tomorrow!! Can I go please please?"

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. At fifteen he was 6'8 and had a decent build from working the docks, making steady money had helped with him gaining muscle and you not being so tired all the time.

"No not by yourself. I need to meet him to make sure he's not a bad guy. Go to the library Y/N, I'll come get you when I'm done with work and stay there!" He all but shouted making you pout.

"Fine..." you ran not even turning back when you heard him call your name.

At the library you had read all the kids books and now went to the encyclopedias. They always had something fascinating in them. The old librarian lady had taught you how to read and write a year ago, and you helped clean the library and put away books as payment.

"Hey Y/N!" Your new friend yelled for you. You turned to shush him but the old lady did it for you causing you to giggle.

"You have to be quiet in a library dummy." You whispered and went back to reading.

"Yeah yeah. Hey wanna go to the market? People are suckers there."

"I'm actually my brother said to stay here until he was done with work. So sorry I can't go with you. But hey you should get a book to read. I'm reading all about medicine. It's really interesting." You smiled. And went back to reading. The quiet that followed started to make you sweat.

"I teach you how to swim when your brother was too busy to do it and this is how you thank me?"

Huh?

"Whatever you're a waste of time I'm surprised that your brother even puts time in to feed you."

He left and left you there to cry.

"You were the moron who kept coming back to me and telling me your secrets! You think I can ever cared about you? Though of you as a friend? Hahaha oh how naive and pathetic. No one loves you! No one will ever love you! You should just die!!"

"H-hate you...wo-won't ever forgive you...I won't forgive you...I hate you..."

"Aaaahhhhh!!!" You awoke with a jolt, sweating and screaming. Your nightmares had been getting worse lately with his and your brother's words playing again and again in your brain. Luckily no one was in the infirmary so your cry wasn't heard by anyone. Thankfully. "It's never going to go away is it?" You were soaked in sweat and your heart was racing a million miles an hour. One things for sure is that you weren't going to be able to go back to sleep. "Might as well get my running in now."

Getting dressed in your workout clothes, you quickly made your way to the gymnasium. Walking out though, you were confronted with something you weren't expecting. You'd been wrong, there had been someone in the infirmary. It was Admiral Aokiji. It gave you such a scare that you had to cover your mouth before you screamed again.

What the hell is he doing here? Doesn't he have his own room he could be at right now?

Tiptoeing away from the man and being as quiet as possible you made your way out the door.
