Always By Your Side (Izuocha)

}}}3 - Losing His Mind{{{

*Izuku's POV*

I pace the hallway of the hospital, waiting for the doctor to come out and tell me, 'She'll be okay! And you just became millionaires, and you now live happy lives with 5 children who all want to become heroes when their older!' Of course, that isn't possible, but the best case scenario is my beloved one being alright. I continue to fiddle with my hands and walk back and forth until the dark brown wooden door slowly opens, revealing a pale faced female in a doctors coat. She looks at me, then looks down, holding out her clipboard. I snatch it out of her grasp. I read it, my eyes darting from side to side, until I reach the disorders, diseases, etc. list.

"Depression..." I mumble, when I hear a scream from the room. Both of us rush in, seeing no one in there. We realize the scream came from outside the window. "No!" I shout, running up to the window, and looking out. I gasp, tearing up, as I see the pool of blood far below. The limp, broken body of my girlfriend. I activate my quirk and land next to it, picking it up. I feel her pulse. She's completely flatlined.

My body perks up in the hospital chair, my eyes shooting open, and I looks around. I'm back in the hallway. I hear the door open next to me, and the doctor walks out, handing me the clipboard. I confusedly take it, rereading it. It says all the same things. We hear a scream outside, and rush into the room. Everything is happening... Again. I take the same action, landing next to her body, now crying, picking up her body, falling to my knees. Why is this happening?

-~-

I wake up, sitting in the hospital chair. What the hell is happening?

-~-

It's now happened 17 times. Is there no escape?

-~-

119 times and counting. I have tried everything. Nothing works. I am just stuck in this infinite loop of time. I've even tried killing myself. But I just wake up again. Maybe I deserve this.

-~-

Kill me. Kill me please. Kill me. Kill me please. Kill me. Kill me please.

-~-

1001. 1002. 1003. Goose. Twenty 7. Pizza with pineapples and Nutella. Exclamation point. Credit card... Wait, where was I?

As I wake up in my chair, something different happens. I feel a hand on my shoulder, and the doctor smiling at me. Confused, I rub my eyes and sit up. "Mr. Midoriya?" I nod after a few seconds of thinking. That's my name I'm pretty sure. "She's awake, and would like to see you." My face brightens up, and I shoot out of my chair. It's different! I'm free! 

As I enter the room, her beautiful face looks at me, smiling. "Hey, babe." I run up to her, crying, and smiling.

"Don't ever do that again... Don't do it..." I sob into her shoulder. She rubs my back.

"I promise." But it still remains unanswered. Why did that infinite dream loop happen? I nearly forgot my name in there. Oh well. It's over now.

All of it.
