30 The Note: Everyone

TW Suicide note, Mentions of abuse

I'm going to start this note off by saying I'm sorry, to my classmates, family, or anyone reading this. I just couldn't take the pain anymore. A lot of my classmates don't know much about my life so far so let me tell you. Most of you know the reason why I have my burn scar, my mother poured boiling water on my face when I was five. She was sent to a mental hospital by my piece of shit dad and once she was gone, I couldn't be protected from my father. He would train me for hours on end so that I could become the greatest hero. The training soon turned into abuse with me getting hit, bruised, and burned every day. I developed depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder. I'm surprised I didn't kill myself sooner but I only didn't because I didn't want my siblings to get hurt. Once I went to UA and was away from the abuse, I thought it would get better but boy was I wrong. Even though I wasn't getting physically hurt, there was still the trauma. I was getting worse every day, never eating for multiple days at a time, only getting a few hours of sleep a day, and just not taking care of myself. But then Katsuki came. Some of you (mostly just my classmates) know that me and Katsuki are dating. He came and helped the best he could but I guess it just wasn't enough because here I am writing a suicide note, minutes from my ultimate demise. I don't have much more space to write so all I'm going to say now, is goodbye.
