That night, after the party, I headed back to my room and immediately took a shower. After my shower, I layed in bed and immediately fell asleep. I was so exhausted. Why do my parents have so many friends? Or work buddies.

After a few hours, I woke up in a cold sweat. I had tears falling down my cheeks. It happened again. That same dream. I got out of bed and headed downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and got myself a cup of water. The dream is always the same. I've had it for years. The only difference between all the dreams is the person. By person, I mean the one who pushes me into the water.

The dream starts out with me in a white nightgown. Kinda like the one I'm wearing now. I look outside a window, and I see Todoroki, er... Shoto. I walked over to him and asked him what he's doing. That's when he pushes me into a pond. I can't swim, so of course I start to freak out. I can't breathe. It's feels so real. I dropped the cup on the floor, and it shatters. Shit.

I looked around the kitchen, trying to find the light switch. I glanced out the window and saw a figure. I raised an eyebrow and picked up a big shard of glass. I gripped it tightly. I walked outside and approached the koi fish pond. Where did it go? Suddenly, I slipped and fell into the pond.

My arms flail around as I try to remember how to swim. I wasn't able to get some air, so I was running on nothing. I could feel the air slipping out of me. Tears started to cloud my eyes as my back hit the bottom of the pond. I want to die. I just don't want to die like this.

Then, a pair of arms wrapped around me and pulled me out of the water. I coughed, collecting oxygen too fast. My chest rose and fell rapidly. I was wet and cold. My hair stuck to my face and was currently three shades darker from normal. I looked at my savior and saw Yoichi.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" He practically yelled at me.

"I-"

"Why the fuck would you do that!?" He grabbed onto my shoulders roughly.

"I didn't do it on purpose... I slipped." I winced.

"You expect me to believe that!? With your history. You could've died!" He shouted.

"I know!" I shouted back, tears running down my face.

"I didn't do it on purpose! I don't want to drown! I hate the feeling of suffocation..." I cried. He sighed and hugged me.

"Yumiko... I'm sorry..."

"I didn't do it on purpose..." I repeated. He sighed and ran his fingers through my hair.

"Please... believe me..."
