Chapter 15 - (B/F/N)

(B/F/N) = best friend name.

Flashback: (2-3ish years back)

"Hey (Y/N)!" I saw (B/F/N) run up to me. "Did you see what All Might did this morning?!"

"Yeah I did! The way he took out those bad guys was so cool." I replied with the same amount of excitement.

"I hope I can be hero just like him one day but I'm not too sure, I can't even use my quirk properly yet." he/she said looking down.

"Don't say that! I think your quirk is really cool even if you're not using all of it!" I encouraged him/her.

"Heh thanks, let's walk home together."

<>-<>-<>

We were about half way into our journey and there was this little back ally that we would take to shorten the walk. The ally was dimly lit from the buildings towering on either side and it was pretty narrow but we didn't care.

We were about to turn out of the ally but two figures stepped in front of us and blocked our way out. One was male and the other was female.

"Hey." said the female one of the figures. "Look what I found, how much do ya think these lost puppies would sell for?"

"I don't know but they'll definitely sell for a lot more than our last ones." said the male. This was bad. As soon as I heard this I grabbed (B/F/N)'s wrist and started sprinting in the other direction to the other exit. We were almost there but suddenly the male figure blocked our path.

'Oh no, he has a teleportation quirk.' "Are you tryna run away kids?" He grabbed (B/F/N) wrist and a hand was put over my mouth from behind and held me tightly in place before they both shoved us onto the ground. Both of their bodies were on top of ours making it impossible for us to move. I looked up and my eyes met with (B/F/N)'s. He/She had tears pouring down his/her face and began to sob extremely loudly.

"Hey!" said the woman holding me down. "Shut him/her up will ya? he/she's makin' too much noise." the man on top of my friend grabbed him/her by the hair and slammed his/her face into the concrete repeatedly.

I saw red.

Not just his/her blood.

Anger clouded my vision.

"STOP IT!" I felt pain all throughout my body but no longer a weight onto of me. I looked up and saw the man, the woman and my friend all pinned to the walls of the ally. Ridged shards of ice sticking out of their bodies.

"(Y/N). . ."

The ice evaporated into steam which made them fall onto the ground in front of me. Blood pouring out onto the floor in huge pools.

'...My quirk did this...'

'...I did this...'

I did the only thing I could think of doing.

...I ran.

<>-<>-<>

I arrived home and broke into tears. I stared down at the blood on my hands and uniform.

I couldn't take it.

'What have I done?'

'I just took the lives of three people...'

<>-<>-<>

My mom and dad were home from work. By then I had showered and cleaned all the blood off of me and my uniform. I was lying down in bed under the covers in the middle of July, shaking.

I felt so cold... empty... lifeless.

My parents bursted my bedroom door open and raced over towards the bed. They just hugged me.

"We have something to tell you about (B/F/N)-" my mother started but I cut her off.

"I know." My voice was monotone and sad. The guilt I was carrying was almost too much for me to bare.

"The police are investigating it." My dad said hopefully. "Whoever did this will be found and they will pay for what has happened."

That was what made me snap.

"Get out." I said slowly. "He/She's gone. What are they gonna do, bring him/her back from the dead." I turned around and looked at my parents in the eyes with tears silently falling. "He/She's dead! And there's nothing anybody can do about it!"

"Hone-"

"Just get out."

<>-<>-<>

For the next week I would only get out of bed to go to the toilet. My mother would leave me meals next to my bed but I would barely touch them.

The next day it was (B/F/N)'s funeral and I forced myself to go and see his/her face one last time.

<>-<>-<>

It was the day of the funeral and I wore a long black coat. It was raining that day too. How cliché.

"Honey, take an umbrella." my mother advised me.

"No." I said quickly walking away once we got there I was the only one without an umbrella. I took off my coat to show I had on a bright dress on in his/her favourite colour. (If their fave colour is black then just do their second fave or something).

Everyone just stared at me in shock all except for two people. His/Her parents. They were smiling at me.

And I smiled back.

It was the first time I had smiled in over a week. It felt really nice.

<>-<>-<>

Eventually, it was my turn to go up to him/her I braced myself. He/she looked stunning and so at peace. As though they could wake up at any moment. I spoke in a hushed voice.

"Hey (B/F/N). You always liked this colour because you said I looked good in it, I'll wear this colour till I die, I can asure you that." I sighed and lowered my voice down to a whisper to make sure that no one could hear me"I hope that it wasn't too painful, that you're at peace now and that you have found it in your heart to forgive me. If someone gave me the option to swap places with you then believe me. I would do it without hesitation." my time was almost up. "I love you, always have, always will. Don't you forget that, okay?" I turned around and started walking away.

"Goodbye (B/F/N). Wait for me."
