Abroad. ~ Katsuki Bakugo

Chapter 19

"Ugh, my head hurts!" Evelyn whimpered, holding her head. She sat up, and her eyes looked for someone. Her head tried its best to remember the recent events. "Katsuki?" She called out with no answer. Her brows furrowed in confusion, she glanced at the alarm. 7 pm. Her face turned blank, and she wondered how long she has slept. She wanted to leave her bed, but something seemed to hold on her. The sound of an heavy chain echoed through the room and it took Evelyn courage to look at her hands. Heavy metal shackles were embracing her hands, panic rising inside her. She hysterically pulled on them and screaming to get them off her. After a few seconds, which felt like an eternity to her, she gave up. She laid in the bed in a fetal position, trying to remember anything that happened. Her mind was empty. "Wait, who is Katsuki? Why did I call them?" She mumbled confused. "Wait, who am I?" 

The ground started shaking, and it felt like the world was falling apart. "Oh fucking hell! What is happening?!" The girl shrieked, feeling the bed underneath her dissolve. A soundless scream left her throat, making her panic, her words were empty and her body limp. She felt the air brushing her body and her fall seemed endless. She waited for an impact, but it never came. 

Instead, she woke up. Relief washed over her until she realized that she couldn't move. Her eyes frantically darted around the room. Moonlight illuminated it, making the girl able to see faint shapes. She noticed a silhouette hiding in the corner of her room. "Hope you had a nice dream." It mumbled incoherently, and then it was gone. 

The girl sat up, gasping. Her heart raced. She checked the clock, this time it was 2:37am. "She looked to the left, seeing the blonde sleeping peacefully. She laid awake the rest of the night, because the thought of going back to sleep scared her.

It was morning now and the two got ready. Morning routine as usual. "Katsuki, can you pass me the ibuprofen over there?" "Sure. Are you okay?" The girl tiredly nodded and responded, "Yeah, just a headache." Evelyn took the pill with a sip of water. She also changed the tourniquet. The injury looked a bit better and did not needed to be checked by a doctor.

They planned to go to the library together to study together with their friend group. They took the train to the city centre. Both settled down in a seat and Evelyn leaned against the window.

"Do you mind if I sleep a bit Katsu?" He furrowed a brow at the nickname but nodded. 

"Hey shorty wake up." Katsuki shook her, waking the girl up. She looked around in confusion until she recognized her surroundings. The two left the train and walked to school. The girl strolled after Katsuki still kind of asleep. 

Later in the library all were sitting together, studying. Evelyn barely listened, resting her head on the table. Before she was able to doze off, she was awoken by a familiar voice. She slowly lifted her head, making eye contact with Suzan. "You look like you haven't slept. Are you fine?" "No, I am not. I have barely slept." The girl whined. "Well, well, next time go to bed earlier." The other girl scolded, taking place next to the black haired girl.

Evelyn was glad when studying was over. The two cups of coffee she drank, helped her to gain some energy, but her head was still pounding. Evelyn and Katsuki were walking to the train, taking the first one they got. 

"Why haven't you said anything, we could have stayed home." The boy inquired to know. "No, don't worry, i just did not sleep well." "Why that?" "Uhm, I had kind of a nightmare followed by a sleep paralysis and after that i wasn't able to go back to sleep." The boy huffed, saying that she should just wake him up if that happens again. Evelyn was happy to have got so close with the boy. Spending time with him made her feel happy. She smiled in content.

"Katsuki, do you want to do a film night later? Or more a film evening, after all, tomorrow is school." "Sure, I would like that. But first you have a nap when we're home. You look like a zombie." He commented making the girl puff her cheeks, "Like a zombie? Very charming of you." That made the blonde grin, pulling her closer to him. "Well, you are a beautiful zombie." He laughed. 

Arriving home the girl threw herself on her bed and drifted to sleep. In the meantime, Katsuki facetimed with his family.
