Call of Silence-(All Might/ Toshinori Yagi) Book 2

7

The days that followed that public breakup was strangely blank. You were doing what you usually did -cooking, watching that horrid romance drama with Serah, making sure Serah goes to school, and other mindless chores-but nothing seemed to get to you. You were in a weird state of melancholy, doing this almost mechanically without the slightest consciousness.

You didn't remember saying anything. It was as if your body only knew how to eat, sleep, breath, crap, and take care of Serah.

Serah never knew this is how you felt... if anything she was the only source of happiness that got you to forget about Toshinori but every time she smiled, it was like a glimpse of Toshinori would flash by.

Lost in your own thought, you failed to notice that you had cut too close to your finger, grazing the blade against your finger. You cried out of pain and immediately ran it over cold water while wincing as you felt the pain radiating throughout your finger.

"Hey Hana, are you okay!" Toshinori yelled while trying to get out of the grip of the other guys holding him back.

You sniffed miserably. You were too distraught to pay attention to Toshinori, let alone talk. A hand roughly grabbed the back of your head, pulling on your hair until you were face to face with one of the guys that attended the rival school.

"Show us what UA has to offer!"

He suddenly let go, and you found yourself lying on the cold wet grass as they dragged you against the dirt. Tears flowed down your cheek, dripping from your chin as you finally opened your mouth to speak, only to get kicked in the jaw.

That grabbed the attention of the two boys but also caused a distraction for the boys to be knocked out by Toshinori causing him to charge towards the guy holding you.

"You let your guard down! You think you can get away with beating up my girlfriend?" Toshinori yelled, raising his fist. "You'll see, I am her number one hero and I will do everything in my power to protect her!" he emphasized the ending of his statement with a powerful punch, soon followed by a series of them.

You, now forgotten by the side, only could watch as the bully's lackeys pulled Toshinori off and tossed him against the tree, beating him mercilessly. You soon closed your eyes tightly and screamed out loud causing a deep boom to follow.

You opened your eyes, a pillar of fiery smoke and dust clouded the clearing. You soon let the smoke clear to see the bullies faces blanched with fear.

"Let's get out of here!" they yelled as they left Toshinori and scampered away.

You ran up towards the bloodied and bruised Toshinori lying at the foot of a tree. "Toshinori..."

Here you were watching the news of another save by All Might as his female fans kissed him on the cheek as if they were taunting you. But cause you to scrunch your face up in distress as tears filled your eyes, the heartbreak was imaginable.

You simply changed the channel to something else, feeling more hollow and empty with each click of the button, circling back to the news with All Might's face plastered on the big screen. All Might has been effectively removed from your life, how could you go on without him? If you could go back in time 5 years, would you guys have been a normal family?

Out of frustration, you threw the remote across the room. You wanted to shout, have a tantrum and beat your hands on the ground like a toddler.

You wanted to vent and let it out, but you didn't want to say words like you did the past few days, be hurtful. It was just so easy to be cruel at that moment and then clearly see that the damage was done. I really just wanted to unsay the things I said, or even go back in time and take it back.

However, you knew that was impossible

You knew with your publicity stunt, you need to keep your distance, being seen together would only serve to hurt you both more. But you both had a child together, and knowing him, he isn't going to give up on trying to establish that connection. That was one thing he was keen on when you both were dating, he wanted a huge family.

But what is a family when there isn't trust. You both hid secrets from one another with the intent of protecting secrets that were sacred to the both of you.

You felt lonely. More alone than you ever had in your life. You surveyed the small city you and Serah settled in through your tear-filled eyes, wiping them away when they threatened to spill on to your cheeks.

It hadn't been easy for you these past few days and still, these days had been the saddest you had ever experienced, and yet you had hoped against hope that they were behind you, to no avail.

"It is very hard to track you down you know...Beloved..."

You turned around staring straight into a pair of eyes shone brightly, reflecting a sea of red rubies. They were piercing, sharp, shining red eyes, that were seeping with success and passion. His figure towering over your sitting from on the roof of your complex but was a matter of time for when you would have to see him.

"What do you want..." you asked calmly, knowing that from this meeting nothing

"That's simple...I want to talk, but not here."

You soon felt a sharp pain flow through your body from the back of your neck and your eyes roll to the back of your head. You knew you were losing consciousness but yet your mind could only mutter one last conscious thought: Serah...
