//~[Chapter 19; You Betrayed Me!]~\\

It's been days since the big battle of All Might happened.
He was now a boney skeleton and everyone was still talking about it and not to mention I became famous, I guess being in a traumatic fight with villains wasn't enough for the media. It was like being swarmed by bee's who want to sting you till you give them what they want
anger, fear, regret, and even sadness consumed me. I stayed home from school for days. Mom was leaving for another one of her missions today and looked as worried as my classmates, they came to visit every now and then but what surprised me the most was that Bakugou came to visit said to talk more about the villain who stabbed me in the back. I don't know why he was being so nice to me all of a sudden but I didn't ask.
Instead I always closed the door on his face or invited him in for a talk
I was just getting home from going grocery shopping when something caught my eye- more like someone. There he was, looking completely fine, no cast, no other physical wound than his scars and just so happened to be staring down at his phone. On my couch.
Ignoring his presence I walk into the kitchen and begin putting everything away ignoring the intense stare I felt on me. "No hi?" He finally spoke, and that sentence alone caused me to snap. "You're no longer welcome here" My voice was hoarse and stern as I spoke, a chuckle was all that came from him. His heavy footsteps creaked and glided across the floor boards of the house all the way to where I stood.
"Come on doll, don't be like that-" Swiftly I turn and glare up at him anger bubbling to the surface by the second. "Don't be like what Dabi? Don't be mad because you betrayed my trust? Don't be upset because you lied to me? Don't be frustrated because I let some jerk into my home? Don't feel bad because some idiot asshole decided to betray my mom? Tell me Dabi. I'm waiting" I shouted, the box of extra salted pretzels crushing under my grip; instead of speaking he just stood there calmly, eyes blank and face void like he was staring off into space
rolling my eyes a scoff leaves my lips. Going to walk away his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me in close to him, suddenly tears pricked my eyes.
I wanted to cry my heart out I wanted to forgive him, I wanted to forget everything that happened and start over but I forced myself to stay strong and pushed him away. "Why are you here Dabi?" It was too late, tears were falling rapidly down my face while I glared up at him
"Wanted to make sure you were okay" He stated keeping that cool husky tone in his voice. That only made me angrier by the second "No! I'm not fucking okay you fucking moron! You betrayed me! You hurt my friends! You kidnapped Bakugou and I! You broke into my home! I let you hold me! I let you into my circle and I was foolish enough to believe you cared!" I screamed as tears gushed from my eyes.
His body tense and his expression changing to something all too familiar. Anger. "I do care okay Liz? You're too much of a selfish brat to see it. I tried to get you to stay away from the camp, I told you to stay away. Did you listen? No! You didn't and now you're seeing the real me. I didn't have a choice in the matter Liz" He shouted back only fueling my anger more. A husked laugh leaves my lips as I glare at him intently
"Well it's a good thing I didn't! Otherwise I'd still be letting you toss me around like a puppet! And you had a choice, you always have a choice Dabi! You just chose wrong." My hands clenched into fists as I stood straight and took a deep breath calming myself down. It didn't work all too well because immediately after I tried anger boiled to the surface again. "I'm not the one who put myself in a situation like yours. I'm not the one who got myself caught. If you would've stayed out of the way none of this would be happening!" Dabi blurted keeping that cool tone of his. My eyes widen at his words.
None if this would be happening if it wasn't for me, if I had just stayed behind I wouldn't have been in the middle of everything, if I had fought back using my quirk maybe All Might wouldn't have been defeated, if I had been strong enough I could've helped get Bakugou and I out of the way. But no. I decided to focus on a man who I don't even know.
"Don't you think I know that?" I began, voice shaky and cracked at each word, Dabi stays silent as I spoke "Don't you think I know it's my fault? If I had been smart enough I could've gotten out of there with Bakugou before the heroes arrived. They wouldn't need to fight. All Might would still be number one, Best Jeanist wouldn't be in the hospital, everyone that's dead because of that fight is my fault!" I yelled sadly tears still falling from my eyes as Dabi looked taken aback

I stared down at Liz in complete shock. I regret every word I told her. I remember her mom saying she'd blame herself even when it's not her fault. That she lived in the past.
Fuck. I messed up big time. I thought feeling myself tense and untense unable to move my body, dealing with people's emotions wasn't my strong suit. I didn't know how to react, how to comfort them.
And by the looks of it I screwed everything up Even now she has trouble expressing herself, sure she acts happy and tells you things but, deep down she's bottling her feelings and hiding them in a chest behind a barrier; you can't even read her eyes without seeing that barrier her mother's words echoed in my head like a thousand bee hives. "I-" She growls angrily and turns away so her back was facing me.
"I made a mistake trusting you." I grab her arm and pull her back to face me, I don't know what I was doing, all I knew was that she didn't make a mistake trusting me and that no matter what happened I'd keep her safe; instead of staying in that embrace she pushed off perceiving to keep that stubborn side of her active.
"Why did you go to them?" Liz asks her voice shaking and coming out as a mutter more than a question. "I had no where else to go-" I cut off hearing that angry laugh I've been hearing since the training camp. "Of course you had somewhere to go! You could've stayed here, you could've-" She cuts off tears falling freely down her face as she tried to stop them from flowing taking in deep breaths.
