(Y/n) ended up dying in tbe hospital that night. The staff there tried everything they could, but it wasn't enough to save her.
When i had arrived, her lifeless body was draped in sunlight that drifted in through the open window. The room was cold, and deathly still.
I just stood there staring at her while tears rolled down my face and onto the white tile floor.
After a minute i approached her hospital bed and held onto her cold stiff hand while i sobbed. I asked if this was somekind of cruel sick joke, but i was only answered with silence.
On the nightstand there was a thick yellow envelope adressed to me. Scribbled onto the outside in black marker were the words, "wait until you get home to read this. - (y/n)"
I had looked back to her body before holding the large envelope close to my chest.
I brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and lightly traced over her freckles whispering about how the glowing dots were just a lost constellation that had found her cheeks. I pressed a soft kiss to her cold forehead before walking out.

When i arrived at the park, i could see that my classmates were all there. Well except for Midoriya, who was still recovering and Bakugo who was gone. I looked up at them but i couldn't manage my signature grin. "Hey guys."
"So.. Any word on Yamada?" Iida asks.
"We're all so worried about her.. Have you seen her yet?" Uraraka questions gently.
I cover my mouth and smile sadly, (y/n) would've loved to hear about how people cared about her like this.
"Yeah. We were all going to walk over to the hospital to see how she and Midoriya were doing." Todoroki explains.
"There's no need." i whisper.
"What do you mean, Kirishima?" Kaminari asks.
"She died this morning." i sadly smile at them as tears roll down my face. "It's all some sick joke though, right? Like.. Like i'm gonna wake up any second now..!" i pinch my arm and break down into sobs, "why isn't it working?" i look up to my classmates and fall onto my knees, "w-why the hell aren't i waking up?!"
Uraraka covers her mouth and buries her face in Iida's chest.
Everyone starts to cry for the loss of their classmate. Some of the girls are holding eachother and sobbing.
Todoroki turned away, but i can hear him crying softly while others are openly crying and cursing the world as i am.
Nothing will ever be the same. Not ever.
When school starts again, one desk will remain empty in the back of the room. No one will bare to look at it because the girl we had all grown to love wasn't there anymore.

When i get home i walk up to my room and open up the large envelope and dump its contents onto my bed.
Dozens of photos fall onto my bedspread along with a smaller envelope.
I look at the photos first. As i look through them, i realize that they are all memories. She never had a camera, she managed to print out memories. Even now, she still manages to surprise me.
This one was when she first saw me. I see me standing near a pile of robot parts with a huge grin on my face.
The next one was a photo of us sharing a cup of boba. Her short hair messy as she is taking a sip of the cold drink with wide curious eyes looking up to me as i appear to have been telling a joke.
Then i see pictures of our classmates and then one of when she and i had gone out to eat. We were dressed relatively nicely, and she looked so unbelievably beautiful.
I glance down at the smaller white envelope and look at her writing on the outside of it. 'Read this when you are missing me.'
I open it envelope with shaking hands and i unfold a letter in her handwriting.

"My story wasn't a tragedy, nor was it a love story or a heroic tale to be passed down through the years. It was about sunlight. it was about the special way that dawn spreads out on a river when i knew i must cross the river and do things i was afraid to do. it was about love and memory. it was about sorrow. it was about people who never come back and friends who never listened.
Well that's what i thought before i met you Kirishima.
I can safely say that i knew that this day would come eventually, it was always a subtle feeling.
Eijiro. My love, i'm sorry. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble.. But i guess its too late now for apologies, isn't it?
By now, Dad probably told you about my past. Sorry of it scared you, or made you think any less of me, but the truth is painful.
I regret not telling you myself, but i was a coward. I tried to hold on for you, Eijiro. Believe me, i tried. But i guess it wasn't enough.
You are probably crying right now, my love. Don't waste your tears on me, okay? We will see eachother again, that i can promise you.
You have to stay strong, Kiri. Bravery is something that is found in ones lowest places. That's where you are right now. Stay brave, my dear. You can make it without me.. And we will see eachother again. I guess i'm drawing this out a bit.. Anyways, you were the love of my life, and i'm sorry that we couldn't grow old together. We had a great run, didn't we, my love?
Smile Kiri, and if not for the world, smile for me. Because even if no one notices you, I will. And I'll be cheering you on the entire time.
Forever yours,
(Y/n)"

I cover my face and choke back a sob as i fold up the letter and hold it over my heart. I close my eyes as i softly cry for what seems like a long time. I inhale deeply and wipe off my face and grin brightly as i look down at her face on the photo. "Okay, Maite. I'll keep smiling for you."
