chapter 4: hero

Suddenly my door slams open. I look to see my mom furious.

"WHERE IS IT!!"

"W-where's what"

"MY FUCKING SHIT! YOU HAD TO HAVE GONE THROUGH MY ROOM AND TOOK THEM!"

"M-mom I was never in your room"

"LIAR!"

She storms over throwing me out of the chair. She beats me. Worse then she ever has. Pulling my hair. The kicking scratching all of it. It's too much as I let out a cry.

*bakugos point of view*

I had a bad feeling in my chest and decide to call Astrid
When she answers I see she's doing homework

"You know I can help you right" any chance with her is great.

"you'd do that for me?"

"yea can't have you failing classes"

I notice her body tense all of a sudden

"Go mute" is all she says and I listen as she hides her phone a bit looking back at her homework. When her door slams open and her mom is there.
'That's why I had to mute myself'

"WHERE IS IT!!"

"W-where's what"

"MY FUCKING SHIT! YOU HAD TO HAVE GONE THROUGH MY ROOM AND TOOK THEM!"

"M-mom I was never in your room"

"LIAR!"

I sit there horrified as he mom beat her so badly. Her mom leaves the room. I need to help her. As I see her form on the ground struggling to keep her eyes open.

I hang up and call the first person the comes to mind

"Hello?"

"M-mr Aizawa its an emergency! Astrid needs help please meet me at her house" I hang up and send her address I live a few blocks so I'll get there fast. As I sprint down the road, I see her house and notice her mom's car is gone. I go and pound on the door hoping for someone to answer. But no one does..

"Whats going on?"

I turn and see Mr Aizawa

"I was on video call with her and she told me to mute my end and her mom came in and I had to watch as her mom beat her so bad shes barely holding on"

As soon as I finish he kicks down the door and we run in. I remember her saying her room is upstairs as I bolt up the stairs. I barge into her room

"Astid!" I run to her side holding her up

"K-katsu" she says weakly

Mr aizawa had called the police and she was taken to a hospital with me and him going along.

"What's gonna happen to her" I asked fearing for her

"Well obviously she can't go back to that home. So I can see if she can stay with me."

"She has a little sister."

-----

A few hours later

So Astrid's little sister will be living with an aunt and uncle and Astrid is gonna live with Mr Aizawa. Now she just needs to wake up.

I sit beside her bed holding her hand.

"Katsu"

"Asrid. How are you feeling"

"Surprisingly not too bad"

Before I can stop myself i hug her.

"I was scared...." I didn't want to admit it but I feel different towards her than anyone else

"Honestly katsu me too...."

*back to astrid*

Katsu didn't leave my side once. And Mr Aizawa came in saying he's been given permission for me to live with him. And that my little sister will be going to our aunt's. I'm glad she will be safe. And my mom is in jail for abuse, and drugs.

^a few days later^

I got discharged a few days ago and got settled in at Mr Aizawa's. I feel bad that he's taking me in. I feel like I'm in the way. And the fact that I dragged katsu into this. I hate myself for it. And I've been too hard on myself for all of this. Although I won't admit I'm being too hard on myself. I stopped eating and sleeping. Now I'm in the passenger seat of Aizawa's car as we head to school. When we get there I follow behind quietly we get into class and everyone keeps trying to ask of I'm ok.

Seeing everyone so worried. I hate it. I see Katsu's eyes as he stares at me.

"Alright everyone settle down"

Classes go by and occasional training for sports festival. At the end of the day I run out before anyone can talk to me. I texted Aizawa that I was going to a park. And sent my location just in case and I ran.

"Hey Astid wait up" I look behind to see Katsuki chasing me. I don't stop I just run faster.

Finally he grabs me and forces me to stop.

"What's wrong" he asks breathing a bit heavy

I stay silent. Afraid that if I speak I'm gonna break down.

"What's wrong" he presses harder

"FUCKING EVERYTHING OK! All of this! I dragged you and Mr Aizawa into my problems! And I hate myself  for all of it." My voice getting softer. "I'm in the way"

"I don't know what's been drilled into your head growing up, but you're not in the way. If Mr Aizawa felt like you'd be in the way he wouldn't have fought for you to live with him. And as for me I'm glad I got dragged into your life. I dont feel angry around you. I feel calm. I wanted to be in your life and I don't regret one second."  I look at him.

"He's right. You're not in the way.. I may be new to the whole parent role but I hope to do my best." Aizawa says behind us I look at him and that's when I break down falling to my knees crying. He comes up and hugs me briefly before letting go.

"Bakugo would your parents be fine with you staying the night with us. And I can just bring you to school." Aizawa asks.

"Yea" and with that we get in Shota's car heading home.

I immediatly head to my room Katsu following. As I crash on my bed.

"There's a air mattress in the closet you can use" I say into the pillows.

After everything get's set up we fall asleep
