Chapter 28: Where did we go wrong?

A couple weeks later and it was finally December, as well as it finally started to snow. I wanted to be in higher spirits like I usually would be, but I just couldn't seem to find it in myself to be happy like I should be. Yeah, seeing the snow for the first time of the season made me beyond happy, but that happiness didn't stick around for as long as I wished. I actually sort of started to drink the strongest vodka that there is...to be quite frank with you, I don't know how I'm still alive with how many full bottles I've pounded down.

Anyways, it was a week before the school let the students out for winter break. I was actually sort of excited since Rikka, Ryushi, and Rini would be back home. I missed them, yet it also felt like it was enough to have just Reiji still there. I tried to not show how down I was when he was around since he still would ask how I was doing and if he could do anything for me. It would break my heart every time he brought it up, but at least I knew that he cared.

I woke up on a Wednesday morning from only sleeping for not even thirty minutes. I could have probably slept more, but the damn alarm woke me up. I angrily turned it off and got out of bed, knowing that it would be better to get up right away rather than lay there and make the tired feeling worsen. I gathered my hero costume before going into the bathroom to get ready as usual. When I was driving to UA, I started to nod off a little, and what sucked more was that I couldn't use any quirks to keep me awake.

The previous week I was fighting a group of drugged out criminals. Well, one of them slashed my shoulder with a knife and a few seconds later I had lost my ability to use my quirks. After I took care of them and had them in a holding cell at a station, I went to the hospital right away. They found traces of that damn drug that Eri was trying to put an end to on the surface of the cut. Thankfully it wasn't that potent so I would get my quirks back in a week or two. It was a huge relief to hear that, but at the same time it wasn't. For how horrible I was feeling, I didn't want to carry on living.

Anyways (again), when I arrived at the school and made myself comfortable at my desk in the teachers office, I began to work on papers that teachers had asked me to look over. After that I tried to take a nap, but that was a wasted effort. Once fourth hour started, it was just Mic and I in the teachers office. Aizawa was supposed to be there too, but we figured that he was finishing up a nap in one of his classes.

"Geez, Blank, how thirsty are you? I think you've finished off four water bottles since school started today." said Mic. I didn't respond, just gave him a tired glare.

Just then Aizawa opened the door, looking like he did, in fact, just wake up from a nap. He closed the door behind him as he walked in with his signature yellow sleeping bag tucked beneath his right arm. Just as he passed my desk, I took a drink from my water bottle. He stopped and looked to me, asking in a low whisper, "Are you drinking on the job?"

I took another sip as I looked away, "No remark." I said as Aizawa took a seat at his desk and shoved his sleeping bag under his desk.

Mic sais in a loud whisper, "Dude, you're going to get drunk at the rate you're drinking at!"

I impulsively chugged the rest of what was in the water bottle, which happened to be almost a full thing. I quickly caught my breath before I screwed the top on the bottle and said, "Thank god for quirks, otherwise I'd be plastered by now."

"Dude!" Mic repeated but a little louder.

"Got any extra?" Aizawa whispered.

"Sho!" Mic said in the same tone as before

I pulled my backpack from under my desk that held six full water bottles of vodka.

"Yeah, what you want?" I whispered as if I was engaging in a drug deal.
