The Bad Batch One-Shots 2

63 : Where I Belong #10

Echo p. o. v.

Fennec pulled my shirt "How's you feeling to be a lousy droid ? Next time, you should have four eyes."

Everybody laughed of me while Kalia was scared and worried about me.

But luckily, Fives showed up "Hey ! Put my brother down !"

"Fine." She dropped me on the floor harshly. Fives and Tech helped me up "See you later, losers." Fennec left with two women.

Fives asked concernly "You alright, bro ?" I sighed "Yeah, I'll be fine." Then Kalia came closer to us "I'm really sorry to not helping you. I have no idea this bullying situation as horrible as high school."

I stared at her "It's not your fault, Kalia. I shouldn't go into the college at all." Omega put her hand on my shoulder "Life isn't always easy, Echo. Sometimes you have to out from your comfort zone so you could be a strong person."

"Just give me some time alone." I left them to have a peace mind.

..................................................................

I was having me time at the library and rethinking what happened to myself. Wasn't it worth to survive with a droid legs and a right arm like this.

I didn't think I could make it in college either. I didn't belong with anyone around me.

"Echo ?" "Fives, I told you to give me some time alone." Which I thought it was him but I was wrong when I heard different voice.

"It's just me." It turned out it was Kalia. I was surprised as she sit besides me "I know it's really hard because... I have anxienty."

I stared at her "You have anxienty ?" She nodded "Yeah, sometimes I feel it's the end of the world. My body sweating, shaking, and feels like I have to run away."

"Wow. You have most of my symptoms. Mine having hard time to sleep and feeling like that I need to isolate myself so no one could hurt me." I expressed my feeling.

She nodded "I had that before." "So how do you beat your anxienty ?" "I started to having a conversation with my father about it, he was the one who supported me the most."

I sighed " Well, I don't think Fives would be understand what I have been through."

"Maybe so but... you have your twin brother. I know I just met you two but I think Fives would do anything to make you happy." She said.

I never through about it. He may not been the smartest like me but he was the one to stick with me.

After we had a conversation, we back to the library where Tech, Fives, and Omega reading few books. "What are you guys doing ?" I asked.

Tech spoke first "Fives told me what have you been through with your depression." "Then Fives, Tech, and Omega decided to research to help you to through it." Omega said.

"Ah, there it is. The first step of solving your depression is expressing your feeling to someone that you can trust and makes you comfortable with it." Fives read one of the books.

"Well, I have few people that I can comfortable with." Fives was counfused as looked around the library "Who ?" I shook my head as gave him a friendly punch "You guys."

Fives was surprised "Really ?" I nodded "Yeah. Including you, Fives. Thanks for having my back, brother." He smiled "Hey, that's what brothers do. We'll always be there for each other." "I have no doubt about it." We had a brother knuckle.

"I am enjoying your brother heartwarming moment. Now, let's focus what this book says." Tech showed us another book that he read.

"The next step to solving your depression is seeking help from professional or I would call a treapist." He said.

Next, Kalia spoke "Hold on, Tech. There's a note that we can't enforce someone who has a depression to asking help if someone isn't comfortable with it."

"So Echo doesn't need a treapist at all ?" Fives asked.

"Listen, this decision is up to Echo. We can't decide for him. Some people solving it with their own and the others seek for professional's help." She explained.

Omega said "Like the children can make their own decision what they want to be in the future."

Kalia was surprised and nodded "That's right. Wow. We haven't introduced each other yet. What's your name."

"The name is Omega, nice to see you, Kalia." "Wow, I didn't introduced my name."

I have been thinking about it and I made my own desicion "I actually don't wanna a treapist yet." Fives tapped on my shoulder "It's alright, bro. Take your time about it."

"Right now, after the college, we start of your recovery by taking a walk." Tech said.

Fives complained "What ? Walking is exhausted."

I rolled my eyes as chuckled "Hey, it's a good exercise, anyway."

"Easy, Fives. We'll walk to my house and it's my turn to cook salads for our lunch." Tech offered.

Fives smiled "As long it's your treat, I'm down."

Kalia offered herself "Would you mind to walk with you guys ? I need some fresh air too."

I nodded "Sure. We better back to the class. Thanks for your help, Omega."

Omega responed "You're welcome." Then we rushed back to our class.
