Chapter 41 - 'Perfect'

DAY 427

"Are you okay?" - Izuku asked as I let myself rest against the wall for support, my legs felt like jelly and I swear that if it wasn't for the wall, I'd definitely fell to the floor like a death weight at that point.

The bell signaling the end of lunch break rang a few minutes ago already and I was sure we were going to get in a lot of trouble for being late, yet I couldn't care less. All I could think about was the moment the teacher would step into my family business tearing apart what was left of the family my sister craved so bad. I was terrified of the consequences.
If that didn't make it hard enough for me to stay calm, the disappointment and anger I felt towards Izuku were definitely doing the trick. I wanted to scream at him, but I felt weak as I let myself slide down to the floor.

"Hey, look at me Shōto..." - Izuku's voice broke the silence of the empty hallway.

"What else?" - I asked ignoring his request as one of my hand run through my hair slightly tugging at them in anxiety.

"What else what?" - he asked sounding perplexed.

"You told her about my abusive old man, what else have you told her?" - I asked looking up at him even if that was the last thing I wanted to do.

"I...nothing. That was all that came up..." - he mumbled nervously biting onto his lower lip.

"Came up? Why would you even bring that up? I told you Izuku, no one else. I trusted you with that and you had to tell your bitchy girlfriend?" - I asked slightly raising my voice.

He sighed kneeling in front of me. I was ashamed of how my voice cracked at the mention of Uraraka.

"It was before we moved into the dorms. She was being a bitch about you sleeping over at mine so much and about all the time we spent together. I just wanted her to back off, nothing more. I told her that you needed a place to stay from time to time, that you needed to stay away from your father sometimes. It wasn't my intention to let her know what was going on with your father, and I didn't really say what was actually going on. She's smart enough though, so she figured it out quickly. I regretted speaking immediately, especially when she started using that against me." - he explained. I wished that would make my anger falter, but it didn't.

"And how is your regret going to make it any better exactly?" - I said, unwillingly scoffing.

"It won't but is making me feel worse really going to help you?" - he asked outstretching a hand to touch my face.

"I don't fucking care! Why? Why every time I put my trust in you, you have to fuck it up?" - I said pushing away his hand. A hurt expression taking place on his face.

"Every fucking time Izuku!" - I said louder scanning every word.

"I know, I mess up a lot, but you have to calm down now..." - he whispered.

"How? How can I calm down when the entire school knows my family business?! The teachers are going to hear about it and what's left of my life will crumble to pieces! I don't want that! I hate my father, I hate Natsuo, I hate everyone, but I don't want to make things for them any worse. I don't want them to hate me anymore. I've never done anything more than burden them since I was born. I don't want Fuyumi to be forced to deal with this! She..."
