Chapter Twenty Two

TW: Depression and Self Harm

It was about a month before they finally allowed UA to be opened again, but this time, every single student on the campus had to stay inside the school grounds other than class 1A.

There were a lot of dorm buildings built quickly in an attempt to keep students from being massacred or interviewed by passerby.

Killua told himself he shouldn't bring it, but he still packed his bags with knives at the very bottom.

Once he got started on harming himself, it was hard to stop. He was at his lowest.

Within that month, he knew that Gon was in extreme pain because of him. It was all his fault. All of it.

Killua made sure to pack his bags full with long sleeved shirts and the few things that he owned.

When he left, Inko was crying again.

"I neglected you, Killua. Please forgive me! And be careful! I don't want to lose another son.."

He just nodded and walked out of the door without emotion. He felt kind of guilty.

When he made it to UA, he had to show his ID to the multiple heroes at the front gate before they let him in.

When he made it to his dorm, he was overcome with sadness by seeing Gon's side of the dorm.

So many memories of decorating the room, buying clothes, and playing around with Gon flooded his mind.

He felt horrible.

So he just flipped down on his bed and tried to silence the loud voices in his head. Grabbing a pillow and hugging it tight, he pretended it was Gon.

He fell asleep, listening to the sounds of the other students getting settled in the rooms around him.

The room directly beside him was silent. Abandoned. It was Izuku's.

Killua woke up to hear a loud pounding on his door.

"Young Killua! Young Killua!"

How unprofessional.

When he sat up, he felt a sting and noticed how his cuts had opened while he was hugging the pillow. He quickly wrapped his arms in bandages and hid the bloody pillow under his blanket.

He didn't even bother to wipe the tears under his eyes.

Opening the door, he noticed All Might standing at his door with a slightly urgent face.

The rest of his classmates stood behind him. Bakugo looked like he has been discharged earlier and was forced to come to his door. He was angrily standing to the side with his arms crossed.

"Ah, there you are. We have gotten some news!"

All Mights voice was a little shaky and he was sweating a little bit.

Killua was immediately intrigued.. and worried.

What were they doing outside his door?

"We have gotten some information that we are allowed to see some of your bedridden classmates-"

Killua's eyes widened and he rushed out the door.

"Where."

"Young Ki-"

"Where."

All Might sighed.

When the class crowded into the hospital, they were met with Todoroki's siblings and Ochako's parents. Mina, Hakagure, and M*neta's parents were also sitting in the corner of the hospital waiting room.

The parents have all seemed to make friends with each other through the tragedy, but they all still looked lifeless.

Inko was also sitting next to them, but she was sleeping with her head on Mina's mom's shoulder.

The told the students to sit down in the remaining seats and it was very awkward.

Everyone was avoiding eye contact.

Suddenly, a doctor busted through the door and went over to Ochako's parents, whispering quickly.

Her mom gasped and they stood up very haphazardly, following the doctor through the hallway. After a few minutes, the doctor came back and motioned for the class to follow him.

When they made it to her hospital room, the doctor stopped everyone.

"Kids, Miss Ochako has just woken up from her  month long coma. Please speak very quietly and try not to make her upset."

He opened the door and let the students file in.

There lied Uraraka, clinging onto her crying mother's hand and telling her that she was fine.

Hee eyes brightened when she saw he classmates walk in.

"I'm glad to see you are all doing well," She whispered with a hoarse voice. The class had to strain to hear her over the medical equipment.

Her eyes began roaming around the class.

"Where are our other classmates?" She asked worriedly. Her heart monitor began

Asui just sat down next to her, holding her free hand.

"They had some business to attend to." Asui ran her hand across Ochako's cheek and looked up at her parents.

Kirishima also stepped up and said, "Don't worry, everyone is fine. Right now you just need to be manly and get some rest."

"What about Hakagure?" She sniffled. Killua remembered her trying to protect her back at USJ.

"Don't worry, she is getting treatment here too," Jiro answered softly, kneeling down beside her.

But Bakugo was furious. Why not just tell her the truth? They're just hovering her false hope!

"Cut the bullshit!" He yelled. The classmates became stunned and tried to calm him down.

"Baku-"

"She's fucking dead! Don't give her false hope!"

Ochako's face widened again and tears began to well. Hee heart monitor was beating faster and faster while Kirishima and the others were pushing Bakugo out of the room.

Doctors and nurses began ushering the students out to try to lower her heartbeat.

"She's not dead. She can't be! Tell me she's not! She can't be!" She was now weeping and screaming at the class with her hoarse voice. They winced as they continued to be escorted down the hall.
