Everyone was practicing with their serves and receives when they heard a loud crash and a scream. Everyone ran to the locker room only to find Hinata crying next to a broken phone.

" Hinata what's wrong?"

" Are you okay?"

" What happened in here?!" So many questioned was aimed at Hinata but it only fell on deaf ears Hinata cried and cried. One hand covering his mouth and the other pressing against the hard, cold floor keeping him from face planting onto the unforgiving ground.

" K-Kiro....he's gone.." Hinata spoke between sobs. Suga understanding what the small ginger meant he walked over towards Hinata, bending down and giving him a comforting embrace, softly running his fingers through the small ginger's hair.

" I-I could of...." Hinata paused letting out another heart-wrenching sob.

" Shhh....It's okay...no one could have prevented what happened, Hinata I'm so sorry for your lost. Even though we didn't know who this Kiro person is, he must have been an amazing person if you cared about him so much." Hinata cried and pressed his head into his upperclassmen shirt. Suga signaled them to leave and let him have some privacy, all the others could do feeling absolutely helpless at this point just nodded in understanding a walked out.

After many hugs and comforting words whispered into the poor ginger's ears Hinata finally had enough energy to speak.

" I need to call.....~ sniff~ Kenma.." Hinata stated weakly.

" Of course Hinata." Suga stated waiting for the ginger to pick up his phone and dial the number.

" Umm...I broke my phone so can I borrow yours?" Hinata stated while laughing lightly.

" Oh right. Of course" Suga walked out the locker room for a minute fetching his phone. As he walked out he was crowed by the others in questions, Even Tsukishima asked a question. It was heart warming to see how much everyone cared for the small ginger.

" He's okay....No he's not depressed yet, I hope.....He's done crying.....and he just wanted to call Kenma for some reason." Suga answered all the questions while grabbing his phone and heading back into the locker room. Hinata thanked him as he was given the phone and Suga left once again to give Hinata some privacy.

ring...ring...ring..." Hello?" Hinata heard the voice crack as a whimper was heard from Nekoma's smallest player.

" I guess you found out huh," Hinata stated.

" Why would he do that? He could have talked to someone! Anyone! why did he have to end like this!" Kenma sobbed into the phone.

" I talked to him last night on the phone after the chat room ended....I told how he could talk to me or anyone close to him.....but I guess my words wasn't strong enough to...too stop him from doing this!" Hinata sobbed

" Hinata....it's okay all we can do right now is support his family.." Kenma spoke calmly into the phone.

" Yea.." Hinata voice cracked. After that it was a silence between the two, it wasn't awkward nor was in comforting it was just silence. After that, they just hanged up and Hinata stood up stumbling in the process since he been on his legs this whole time.

Hinata wiped his face and finally walked out the locker room.

The doors opened and everyone turned around to see the small ginger, deadly pale with red puffy eyes, cheeks, and nose. He didn't look horrible but it was odd for everyone to see the small ginger in such a state. He earned small pats on the back and fingers through his hair to make him feel a little better.

" Hinata tell us about...the Kiro guy that got you so worked up......were you two dating! Did he dump you! I'll kill him!" Tanaka yelled cracking his knuckles ready to beat someone to the ground for hurting his adorably small friend.

" No.....he was a friend of mine...." Hinata began.

" Kenma and I met Kiro a couple of months ago, He's been through a lot of things as a kid. He's been bullied, his father was abusive to his family and was very strict so on top of the stress of his father and school and trying to deal with the name calls....I guess he couldn't take it anymore..." Hinata paused and began to softly cry as the other's understood completely. It was hard for them to feel the same pain as Hinata since they didn't really know the guy even exist but how Hinata reacted to such news only made them feel somewhat upset. No one has the right to take their own life away. It's just wasn't fair how cruel this world could be sometimes.

" Hinata, it's okay...I know how it feels to lose someone close but everything happens for a reason. And believe me your not the only one who is suffering, All you can do right now is support your friend's family threw their tuff times." Suga comforted Hinata who just sniffled into Suga's shirt and nodded his head in agreement.

" Okay guy's we're going to cancel practice for today, Hinata I called your mother she'll be here to pick you up. I don't think you mentally ready for school today." Takeda spoke breaking the silence.

Hinata went back into the locker room not even bothering to change out of his practice clothes but just grabbing his stuff and waiting outside patiently for his mother. When he saw that familiar van drive up in the front of the school he waved his goodbyes to everyone before hopping in the car and driving off.

" Sweetie I heard what happened, are you okay?" Hinata's mother asked concern for her son who would normally sit un front sit in the back seat.

" Yea mom, I'm okay," Hinata reassured the older woman.

" Okay, when we get home I just want you to rest and I'll fix you some meat buns." Hinata's mother smiled back at her soon but that smile faltered as her son didn't look in the least interested in his favorite food.

" This is going to be a long day." Hinata mother sighed while brushing a strand of dirty blonde hair behind her ear.
