the branch between us

is this goodbye

Hiroshi wasn't going to be home for the first 4 weeks of school so Asami knew she had time to make as many friends as she could. She already had Korra but she knew her dad didn't like people of color. Even though she was raised by him her mother always told her in secret that she could love and be friends with whoever she wanted.

When she woke up she was excited for once she heard her mom sing again her mom used to sing but Stopped after the abuse of her father started.

Asami made it downstairs to see that her mom had cooked breakfast.

She and her mom are together then She went to meet Korra by the bus stop at the bus stop they met two other girls named opal and kuvira they all talked until the bus got there and they all sat at the back of the bus together they realized that they had almost all the same classes.

The day went by fast. Korra and kuvira became close due to their love for the same things Opal and Asami also got along enjoying the same things and both of them trying out for the same sport.

At home Asami realized that her mom was again with senna Korra and Asami realized that there moms were going to be close though Korra just thought it was because her mom was good at making friends Asami knew it was because it was an escape from the house and Hiroshi.

TW: abuse

When Asami came home she noticed her dad's car and her face turned pale he was home early. She saw her dad standing on the front porch. She acted as if nothing happened and bid her friends goodbye. The goodbye was different to her than them.

She slowly walked towards her house tears filled her eyes as she noticed the smudge of blood on his sleeve.

Once everyone was out of an ear shot Hiroshi yanked Asami's hair throwing her into the front door at this moment Asami realized that today was going to be the worst it's ever been. At first Asami went through her father, lashing her back with a ruler. After that, she dragged her to her room where her mom was laying on the floor. Asami and Yaskouo had blood and tears all over their faces, bruises and lashes across their front and back.

Hiroshi grabbed Yasuo by her arm dragging her towards the ice cold bathtub he had prepared earlier at that moment Korra looked across to Asami's window and saw the state she was in. She saw Korra, she started, then mouthed to help them she flinched as she heard her mom let out a grual scream.

Korra sprinted down the stairs to her parents. She explained what happened and her mom and dad followed her up the stairs to see her Yaskouo being thrown to the floor.

Tonraq called the police and within minutes there was cars ambulances circling the house the police busted down the door raiding the house from the window Korra watched as they carried Asami and Yasuo out of the house into the ambulance soon came Hiroshi she was throw into the cop car with no mercy Korra ran out to the ambulance to see Asami but she was pulled back by her dad. She watched as the scene went down

Later that night she went to the hospital Asami was awake but groggy. She did thank Korra for saving her. They talked until visiting hours were up even after seeing that Asami was ok she was still having trouble sleeping. She had brought Asami new clothes and her phone and books. So if she really wanted to she could send a text so Asami didn't answer but she read it and that was all Korra needed.
