My Hero (Goku x Reader)

Painful Reminders

A/N:this chapter may get a little dark, it's not self harm or anything like that, it's just a little creepy.

Goku and I have been able to enjoy life for a little bit ever since the Cell situation. At this point in time, we were watching TV with the whole squad. As we were watching, some Lifetime movie preview showed up. Sure enough, it was about abuse. Normally, I would do okay seeing this type of thing, but not this time. I'm not sure what triggered it, maybe the actors' resemblances to us, but I collapsed and lost all control of my body.

I could hear everyone trying to get my attention, and I couldn't tell them I was okay, even if I actually was.

Another A/N: italics mean a flashback is happening

I was entering my freshman year of college, happy as could be with my boyfriend, Josh. We made it all through high school, and I was excited to spend four more years with him.

I remembered how stupid I was to fall for his "good guy" act for four years. I could have avoided all of this by breaking up with him back then when he was too cool to hit me.

I was hiding out in my room. Josh came home from a party drunk and has been beating me. I want to call the cops, but this is just a one time thing, right?

Stupid me, thinking it was a one time thing. And that first beating was nothing. He hit me once or twice and was done. Little did I know there was a huge storm coming.

It's been two years, and it's only gotten worse. Josh was drunk again. He's trying to break into my room and do God knows what. I wish I would've said something sooner. It's too late now. He's a teacher's pet and is buddy buddy with the campus police. If I would've said something the first time, my life would be great right now. Instead, I'm in a living hell because I was so delusional that it was just a one time thing. I wish I would've listened to those people that said if he hits you once he'll do it again, but I never thought the one time would happen. If only I had paid attention to him in high school. He was so violent around everyone else, but I was too stupid and blind to think anything of it.

I'm so stupid.

Goku's POV

She was on her hands and knees shaking. I went to go get her, but Bulma stopped me. "Let her get through this by herself or you'll get yourself and her hurt," she said.

I didn't want to. She needed my help. But I know Bulma is smarter than me, so I sat back and hoped she'd get out of this soon.

Looking at this was terrifying. Along with the shaking, she'd sob and every once in a while say things like "stupid" and "no." I couldn't watch this, but I couldn't leave her either.

(Y/N)'s POV

I need to stop this now, but I can't. I was fighting a battle against myself that I could never win, and I never meant to start it. I tried to clear my mind, but it didn't do me any good. Instead of doing anything mental, I decided that I'd try to bring myself to my feet. Slowly, I got my hands off the ground so that I was just on my knees. Then, I painfully got onto my feet, one at a time. Slowly but surely, I started to think like myself again, just with some looming dark thoughts.

I looked over at Goku, the one who saved me from all of this. I dragged him into this, but he didn't seem to mind.

"(Y/n)?" he said shyly.

"I'm fine, Goku," I said. I can't believe I did that to them. They don't even need me to be here. If I hadn't drug Goku into this, then they wouldn't have to worry about me.

"(Y/n), I think you need to see a doctor," Bulma said.

"I think I'm okay," I said.

"No, (y/n)-"

"I'm fine!" I snapped, cutting her off. No one said anything, they all just stared at me. "S-sorry, I need to go." I ran out the door and hoped that nobody followed me. I've already drawn enough attention to myself as it is.

I've become what you like, this is what you've wanted, right?
