My Hero (Goku x Reader)

The Girl in the Mirror

The moment this began to look like a good idea, was the moment you should have gotten help

(A/N): first off, I am publishing this chapter for a class. WITH THAT BEING SAID, this is still relevant to the story, but there will be no mention of Goku, since, again, this is for a class

Second and most importantly:

TW: self-harm

I found myself in the bathroom, staring down my reflection. I see the bags under my eyes, I see the paleness of my skin, I see the marks on my face from where the tears have been. I had not once felt more pitiful. This wasn't a face that I could hate, but one that I felt sorry for. This was a face that wanted out, but was too afraid to leave. This was the face of a girl who needed help, but was too afraid to seek it.

I looked down at the sink and saw a stray razor blade sitting there. I thought about it. Is there a way to escape this paranoia that had made its home in my brain? I thought again, not wanting to pass this paranoia off to someone else. I wasn't sure what to do. I looked at my face again, it was practically begging me for help. My hand reached for the blade, despite my brain repeatedly telling it not to.

Slowly, my hand made its way to make it so that the razor blade hovered over my wrist. I just let this happen, almost wanting the girl in the mirror to find peace in any way possible.

As the blade lowered, I heard a knock on the door, helping me to somewhat regain control my body and drop the blade. I looked at the girl in the mirror once more. She had regretted what she had almost done. She was going to hurt everyone who had cared about her. She knew that she didn't want to leave them, but she had to leave this paranoia.

After having a staring contest with the crying girl in the mirror, I brought myself to open the door and look at the man standing outside. I said the three words I never thought I would say.

"I need help."

Turn away, cause I'm awful just to see
