Izuku Midoriya's Pov

I walked to my mom's apartment with a small smile. I was really excited to see her. My mom and Shinsou are the only outlets in my life where I can actually be happy. I haven't seen mom in 2 months and I haven't been able to contact her at all since school has been really hard with all the bullying. I skipped up to my mom's apartment and swung open the door. 

The first thing that hit me was the putrid smell, like someone forgot to put the meat away and it was just rotting in the kitchen. I covered my nose an went inside, anxiety bubbling in my chest.

I called out for her but was met with silence. As I got closer to her closed bedroom door I hesitantly opened the door. I nearly passed out at what I saw. Her head was hanging on a rope that was hanging on the ceiling while her body laid on the floor, limbs twisting in awkward positions. Around her was what looked like water but with a red tint. Her skin looked like it was going to fall off if you just even looked at it the wrong way, even though some of it had and there were maggots eating her skin off. I fell to the ground and started to cry before I couldn't take the sight anymore and I threw up in a corner.

I managed to call the police and they arrived in around 5 minutes and in those 5 minutes my entire body was shaking, racked with sobs.

Why would she do this? Was I not enough for her? Was I not a good son? She didn't even leave a note.  How long was she hanging there? Did anyone even bother to check on her? 

"Izuku honey, are you okay?" I was brought back to reality and I look at Aunt Mitsuki looking at me worridly with puffy red eyes that looked like she had been crying. I looked around and realized I was in a police station. I must have been zoned out for a while. I gave Auntie a blank expression and she pulled me into a hug, saying how she was sorry that this had to happen to me, and that my mom was an amazing person.

"The police say that you'll be staying with me until your uncle is ready for you to move in." I stared at her confused.

"I have an uncle?" I whispered. Mitsuki nodded.

"Your mother cut him out of her and your life when she found out she was pregnant with you she cut ties with him since he was in deep with drugs and alcohol, the last I heard of him he was #11 pro hero, have you heard of the pro Dark matter? That's your uncle." Mitsuki said with a raspy voice.

I nodded, I new who the Hero Dark Matter is, his quirk allowed him to use levitation but he could make the object he's levitating invisible. But I honestly couldn't believe that he was my uncle.

"let's get you back to my house, Katsuki is there setting up a room for you." Auntie said with a warm smile. Even though I could see through her facade.

The drive back to Auntie's house was filled with silence, none of us knowing what to say to the other. I mean what can you really say after your own mother kills herself? Not much.

Once I got to the house I was supposedly staying at for tonight, and then going back to my dorm I saw that Kacchan was waiting for me in the guest room.

"Ka-Kacchan? Do you need anything?" I asked in a dull, nervous voice. I was honestly too tired to deal with anything and just wanted to go to sleep. 

"I just wanted to say.. sorry about your mom and how everyone's treating you at school." Kacchan said without looking me in the eye and instead staring aggresivly at the floor. I blinked slowly before I could process what he was saying. I felt the invisible shackles around my body feel lighter. I actually managed to give him a broken smile.

"Thank you Kacchan, A-at least one other person cares." He nodded and patted me on the shoulder. I crawl onto the guest bed and sit against the head board, bringing my knees up to my chest. I sobbed quietly and started pinching my knees and thighs so hard that my nails punctured my skin and start bleeding. Once I felt numb enough to not feel the pain I just laid down and stared at the ceiling until the morning.
