I need you

Chapter one: Flashback

"AKIHIKO!! Stop!! Please, you're going to kill him!! Stop! Please!!" The loud wails of a woman filled my ears. I felt the hard force of punches hit all over my body.

I couldn't do anything to him. My father kept hitting me, and when my mother tried to get him to stop he hit her too.

I felt so weak. I was only six.

W-what did I do to deserve this?

I felt my blood trickle down my face, staining my clothes. I knew bruises had formed. I could feel it.

My mother wailed and screamed some more, pleading my father to stop. He didn't. He never did.

I could feel cold liquid streaming down my face. It wasn't my blood, blood was warm. Then I realized...

I was crying.

I shot forward, nearly falling out of my bed. I was drenched in a cold sweat, my face was flushed, clothes were ruffled. I had that nightmare again. I looked at my digital clock on the nightstand beside my bed.

1:26 a.m.

I wasn't going to be able to get to sleep again. I knew that for a fact... So I grabbed my phone, cranked up the volume and listened to some Twenty One Pilots until I had to leave for school.

When I arrived at school that morning, Korosensei was zipping around the room at Mach 20 helping my fellow classmates study. "Karma-kun, you're late," Korosensei said as he stopped his teaching to walk over to me, "May I ask why?"

I gave him the simple answer I always do.

"I overslept."

With that I walked to my seat and Korosensei began class once again.

I didn't want to tell him the real reason I was late... He'd hate that. Plus I didn't need his pity, or rather...

I didn't want it.

I heard the bell ring, signaling the start of the next class. While we had four minutes before the next class started, I crept out to go to the main building.

They had vending machines filled with drinks, but even though there was a variety I honestly just wanted a juice box. I sighed looking down at my hands.

I probably should've skipped today.

My head hurt...

My stomach hurt...

I could feel the blood leaking through my bandages...

I pushed up my sleeve to see the blood staining the once clean bandage.

I had to get to the main building. I had to get some new bandages.

I was in the bathroom of the main building. I was trying to clean the wounds on my wrists, which were pouring out blood. Then I stopped.
