Pathetic Smile (Discontinued So Yeah....)

Chapter 1 : BROKEN

D.P.V. (Deku's point of view)

          There was the start of a scream in the living room. It was... mom. I was pretty used to it now, well ever since dad came home. My father was in the war and thought of me as a disgrace to man kind. I always thought it must be true since nobody wanted to be near me at school. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted with a man harshly opening my door. He knew i was awake. Before I knew it he slammed me against the wall almost crushing my hands. In his right hand was a blade, a bloody kitchen knife. I immediately tried pulling away, but I was weak. Too weak. I heard something like a bone being crushed, saw the grin on my fathers face, and started screaming. My vision blurred. All i could see was blood, a grin, and my mother running in with a bruise on the side of her face. It got dark. Soon enough, consciousness left my poor body, leaving it limp. The only sound i could here during this time was a piercing siren, heading straight for our house. I did not fight the sleepiness that took me away from pain this time. I let it engulf me in it's sad sorrow.

          I wake up in a bright place. I think i am dead but it is too noisy to be heaven or hell. I am in all white with a hard cast over my left wrist. I sigh. I am not dead. The sweet sensation has not took my presence into mind quite yet. I see a small pale body in loose clothing and bright yellow hair asleep in the corner along with a man with black hair in a sleeping bag. The man with the yellow hair shifts and i notice he looks a lot like All Might, my past hero idol, but i gave up on that dream a while back. I could thoroughly tell he wasn't All might though because this man was shriveled and short. "Mmn" groaned the man with black hair. I still don't remember what happened. My breathing starts to quicken without my knowing. The man that looks like All Might awakes suddenly, hearing my heavy breathing. *Huff, huff, huff* i breathe with panic. I've felt this before. I'm having an anxiety attack. " Son, are you alright?" the yellow haired man asks me with worry. My breathing quickens even more along with my heart rate. The loud, quick beeps of the monitor wake the man in the sleeping bag. I know they are trying to ask if I'm alright but I can't move, I feel like I can't breathe, I can't speak. The monitor starts to give one long beep as 5-6 doctors and nurses run in the room, telling the 2 strangers they had to go wait in the waiting room. They both had looks of worry and pity on their faces. I hated those looks. The neighbors always gave me that look. They heard my mother and I scream, but left it as it was. They all complained that they were scared of my father, yet they didn't have a reason too. I did.

2 weeks later (time skip)

          The strong smell of a hospital awakes me. "Wha.... where am I.....?". I'm so confused, I keep forgetting.  "Don't worry, you safe." says the yellow haired man trying to be comforting. It only made me worry more. "Other than your heart stopped beating, you should be fine." the man with black, long hair said with a little sarcasm, trying to cheer me up. " I had a seizure again..... d-didn't I?" They both looked at me with surprised looks on their faces. " Who are you guys anyway?" I ask with worry in my voice. " I'm Aizawa and the man sitting next to me is All Might." says the man with the sleeping bag and black hair. " I-I'm I-Izuku Midoriya." I say shifting my position on the hard mattress of the hospital bed. " What happened......" I groan softly remembering the series of events. " MY MOM!" I said as they jumped at the tone of my voice. " i-is she okay?" I don't notice but i started to cry with no a face of no emotion. " She's fine, but very worried about you. She fortunately went home after being patched-up for the bruise on the side of her face....... unlike you." said so called 'All Might'. I didn't believe he was All Might really but, decided to play his little game. " The robber actually managed to break your wrist." reminded Aizawa. "Do you know who he is Midoriya" I internally panicked. My heart raced once more but slowed down this time, allowing me to speak without worry. " T-that wasn't a robber....... It was my father." I mumbled with my voice cracking, making me cry even more. "WHAT!!!" they both yelled, clearly surprised that this 'case' was child abuse. They had no idea of my pain.

. . .

          The strangers asked me a few more question until my mother, Inko burst open the door, yelling my name, tears rolling down her plump cheeks. "H-hi mom." I say shyly. " So this is your mother Young Midoriya? Lovely to meet you Ms. Midoria." said All Might assuming that my mom and 'him'  broke up (divorced). " Thank you for making sure my baby was okay!" my mother said in between sobs. She rubbed her face against mine while embracing me in a very tight hug, not intending on letting go. "Mom," I say with a little bit of snap and embarrassment, "I'm fine, just please calm down." "Sorry sweetheart. I swear I'll keep you safe from now on!"

. . .

         I quickly throw on my jeans as my phone falls out. A music suggestion pops up and I decide to listen to it because I know it by heart. The song was 'Outrunning Karma' by Alec Benjamin. I told Inko I was going to walk home (she insisted to drive me but I managed to make her understand i needed alone time) because i wanted go in the allies and sing some songs. She told me to be back by 7. "I will!" I say with a big, fake, shiny smile because she does not something about me. I am broken.

Okay authors note. I promise i will put in the song in when Deku listens to it. Btw, I'm so sorry that this took sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to write. I literally have no excuse though. Sorry.
