Week of the Broken

Invisible Tuesday

Week of the Broken

Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia

Summary: After living for so long and enduring so much it seems almost comical that it would be something so small that broke them in the end. England, Norway, Canada

Warning: passing mentions of abuse and drinking, implied suicide, and the occasional swear word. I believe only the implied suicide for this chapter though...

Chapter Three: Invisible Tuesday

Russia said "become one with mother Russia da" 60 times, Italy exclaimed "Pasta" 105, France harassed England, America ate 540 burgers after coming in an hour late, China complained about "Foreigners", Germany scared most of them into temporary order, Belarus glued herself to Russia, and Prussia somehow managed to sneak in. So why was that so important? Because...

It was Tuesday.

He had said that they would do something together after the meeting. That Canada could choose whatever it was even! After all, the two of them hadn't had "Family time" in a while. Looking back Matthew wonders why he believed him.

It was Tuesday.

Canada was used to being invisible. The personification he liked mistook him for his brother constintly. As a colony he was constantly forgotten. His twin thought he was just another state for God's sake! But he ignored the voice in his head that seemed to get steadily worse lately... usually...

It was Tuesday.

It was hard to ignore, but he usually managed it. However, the problem was that the voice never lied (stretched the truth a little at times? Maybe. But never did it lie). He was always forgotten, shoved to the sidelines if they even remembered to do that. So why was he here? They didn't need him. Not his bear, not his family, not his nation nor his people, and certainly not any of the others here. So, why was he here? Would they even notice if he disappeared like the voice told him to a couple of times here and there?

It was Tuesday.

 He tried it once. Locked himself into his house and cut himself off from even Kumajirou. Matthew would never forget that one time. As much as he wanted to he wouldn't even be able... it took France three months. The others still don't even know it happened two decades later.

It was Tuesday.

They skipped over his presentation completely, America forgot him at lunch, England walked into him during break, Prussia sat on him, Kumajirou kept asking who he was... and then some. Why couldn't he be visible? Why couldn't he be remembered? 

It was Tuesday.

On the way out after the meeting Canada packed up all his stuff quickly and ran over to France. He was all ready to go, had planned out the rest of their day perfectly so that they would both enjoy it... only to be ignored. Obtaining France's attention after four tries seemed to only make it worse...

It was Tuesday.

"Oh, What can Big Brother do for-" France asks surprised, temporarily forgetting about England who takes the chance to pull away and punch his molester. The two go storming away, one attempting to escape the other relentlessly pursuing, leaving a once again forgotten Canadian behind them.

It was Tuesday.

When he was a colony he would spend hours just watching the stars. And though it seems as if the number of them goes down over the passing years, what with all the lights at night and all, he still did. It was only then that becoming lost in the masses seemed to be acceptable (even preferable) at times. So it didn't seem dangerous or strange to him when he climbed onto the windowsill of his hotel room trying to see those very stars through the street lights and his tears. The voice back in his head, whispering all those unwanted truths into his ear once more.

It was Tuesday.

He sat there for hours, time passing him by unaware, and when the last of the stars surrendered to the first rays of sunlight... So did Canada surrender to that voice of truth.

It was Tuesday.

Eyes red from unwitnessed tears closed as he took one last calming breath before sliding forward.

It was Tuesday...

...and Matthew Williams was done being invisible.

Hello everyone! As of last Monday I am officially back in school. I hope you liked this installment of Week of the Broken, if you have any scenario requests please send them to me as I seem to be running out of ideas for this story. Kinda sad really, I mean there are only going to be seven and I barely made four (I have Thursday done already but can't post it due to missing Wednesday.). Any suggestion helps, doesn't matter how small it is OK? Well, that's my plug for reviews: Onto other things! It probably won't happen for a while since I want to finish something before I add yet another story but I'm opening the poll anyway. (Reminder: ALL stories will be completed. It is simply a matter of WHEN.) The choices are between Hetalia, Vampire Knight, and Loveless. Sometime this month I shall find a way to post at least the summery of each story on my profile so it isn't so blind a poll. Until next time...

...Bye!
