Tape Thirteen

This is the second to last chapter of this book. Sorry I haven't posted in a few day, I've been really tired. This chapter will include a suicide scene, so expect blood and gore. Just a warning. Let's get this tape rolling.

Bakugo POV

I slowly opened my eyes to see the grey sky above me. I had a memory in my head, a memory I would rather forget. I check my phone to see it's the in the afternoon, I slept for like eleven hours. I guess I needed it. I fished in my pocket to find the last tape. 

Wait, Deku mentioned the other one was the last. I hadn't realized I had shoved the last tape in my pocket. I replaced the cassette tape with a small click. "You're probably wondering why I said  last tape was the final one. Well our last location that I would like you to go."

"The school roof."

I got up and sprinted towards the school, blasting my way up to the top. Not caring if I got in trouble. Izuku's voice continued. "Well I commit suicide tomorrow. And I just want to get something straight. Now that I'm about to die, everything seems clear now."

"Don't blame yourselves for this. I should've just reached out, maybe things could've gotten better. I wonder. But just remember I love you guys. You, even you Kacchan who will always be my bestest friend in the big wide world." I choked at his words, looking near the edge of the rooftop.

And then suddenly it wasn't a month after Deku committed suicide. It was the day of.

FlashBack Still Bakugo POV

Dunce face was being to loud today, so I had a minor headache. I was making my way up to the roof, so I could clear my head and have a breath of fresh air. The stairway was dimly lit, but filled with light when I opened the door.

It was raining, but I like rain. Everything about it, the smell, the sound. Even getting soaked. But then I saw someone who I didn't expect to see. Deku. He had been really distant the past few months. 

He was standing near the edge, looking over the railing. I was about to turn around, and go back down the stairs. When I saw him climb over the railing. And continue looking down. "What the fuck are you doing, Deku? I yelled walking up the railing.

He looked back at me with tears in his eyes. I knew what he was about to do. I ran towards him as he leaned over the railing, disappearing from sight. At the last moment I grabbed his hand.

"Izuku, why?" I said, in cracked voice tears rolling down my face.He looked up at me and smiled. "Goodbye." He took out a kitchen knife. It all happened seemed to happen in slow motion. I watch in horror, as he cut through the pale skin. I could see the bone stuck in the muscle of his wrist. The weight of his body did the rest. Removing his hand from his arm. And his body fell to the ground.

Splattering crimson blood on the sidewalk and windows of UA. I was still holding his cut off hand. It was cold and damp, blood pouring out at the wrist. It hit me like a train wreck. I grabbed my phone and dialed 911.

"Hello, what's your emergency." The lady said. "M-my b-b-best friend just jumped off the roof of UA." I managed to stutter out. "We'll get an ambulance over right away." Then she hung up. I ran to the door, and threw it off its hinges. I ran down the hallway and down the stairs.

As I past, I saw All Might. "Yes Young Bakugo. What do you have there?" I looked down and saw Deku's hand, I dropped it as blood started pooling around it. All Might looked horrified, as I ran down the last flight of stairs.

I ran through the hallway. And slammed the door open. Their on the sidewalk was Deku's body, his head bashed in and bruised. One of his eyes had popped out of its socket, and was lying a few feet away. 

Deku has a sick smile on his face, his arms and legs were mangled. Blood was in a circle all around him, raindrops carrying his blood into the grass, painting it red. 

The teachers ran out behind me and gasped. An ambulance swerved in front of Deku. As the teachers ushered me inside. A few minutes later the head paramedic, came with the dreadful news. "It pains me to say this, but Izuku Midoriya is deceased. Cause of Death: Suicide" Most of the teachers gasped.

Other cried, others saying words I wasn't processing. I was just watching out the window, as they carelessly threw a bloody body bag into the back of the truck. 

End Of FlashBack

I just sat their, leaning on my knees. As tears came out of my eyes. Rolling down my face like rivers. Deku's calming voice continued to play. "All I really want to say I that I forgive all of you for all you did. Just don't make the same choice as me okay? Oh and Kacchan, the last tape directed to a person was you."

"So you decide what to do with these. Uraraka you should've received this tape in the mail a few days after my death. Pass it on to the next person, Kamanari. Then Kamanari pass it on to Kirishima and so forth."

"Goodbye guys, I wish you all happiness. And remember I'll always lend an ear if you need. Just look up at the moon, or the color green. Or Katsudon, just anything. I'll be listening never judging, I wish you all eternal joy."

"Goodbye."
