Lost Chapter "Please Belive Me"

§words 877§

Zaleem was at home when she heard an explosion. She didn't think much of it because she figured it was just Bakugo. But then she thought "if that is Katsuki then he might be mad at Izuku!" When she thought of that she rushed outside but neither Izuku or Ka-Chan were there. But there was a big cloud of smoke.

Everyone on the block rushed outside when they saw
and heard what had just happened. Some people watching the news, some looking outside, or playing outside. Most of them thought it was just fake news or a joke but when they saw the cloud of smoke they realized that it was all too real. Zaleem had non-stop tears running down her face when she realized that, it was the factory  her mother worked at that had exploded. Her mother worked at a chemical factory so people had expected small funny explosions from accidents, unlike this one that could have been stoped. Zaleem fell to the ground balling her eyes out.

After a few seconds Izuku came out and saw Zaleem on the ground. He rushed over to her and hugged her as tight as he possibly could. She hugged him back and started crying into his chest. Izuku ended up crying too because Mrs Miuki was like his second mom.

A few hours latter, Zaleem was at Izuku's house. She was sitting at the table just staring at nothing in particular. She was just deep in thought. She was snapped out of her stare when Mrs Midoriya walked over to Zaleem to sit down and talk. As Mrs Midoriya took Zaleem's hand in her own, she said "Don't worry Zaleem.. I know that this will be hard but I've got you. You can stay here with Izuku and I if you want..."

"Thank you Mrs Midoriya, if you don't mind I would like to stay here..." Just then Zaleem realized that her brother will need to come back for a wile from his study abroad program. "What about Zowen?"

"Of course sweetie, you both can stay here as long as you need... He'll need to comeback for the funeral but then he'll go back to Korea." Mrs Midoriya said in a sad voice on the verge of tears. Mrs Midoriya and Mrs Miuki had been good friends since they were in high school. So this was equally as hard for Mrs Midoriya as it was for Zaleem.

A few days latter was the funeral for Mrs Miuki. Zaleem spoke few words that day and the next day, in fact, she stayed quiet for around 2 weeks, and when she did speak it would mostly be to Zowen. Still speaking very few words, She was just too scared to talk. She just didn't understand what happened. And to make it worse Zowen had to go back to Korea 3 days after the funeral.

Izuku noticed how sad and scared she was so he went to the police station to ask about what happened at the site of the explosion.

The police officer said "That's not something I should be telling a kid such as yourself."

"Please officer my best friends mother was in that building and she was like a mother to me. Please sir.." Izuku asked with teary eyes.

The officer caved and told him "Look kid I shouldn't be telling you this but the hero's were arguing about who was doing what instead of just helping with what was going on... I'm sorry for your loss kid.."

Izuku thanked him then walked outside and started to cry. He walked home so he could tell Zaleem what he found out so she could have even the slightest bit of closure.

When he got home Zaleem was sitting on the couch watching some tv with a scared expression on her face that had been there for a wile. Izuku sat down next to Zaleem .

"Hey Zaleem.. I..I need to tell you something.." She looked at Izuku "I-I found out what happened at t-the factory..."

"Izuku.. please tell me what happened..."  Zaleem said with pleading eyes. "I need to know Izuku.. was it on purpose? Was it a bombing? What happened..?" Zaleem said now crying.

"The hero's.. they-they were yelling at each other a-and arguing.. that's when the building exploded...." Izuku said also starting to cry. Zaleem was both sad and mad.

"Izuku... can you teach me to be a hero..? I know that you have books on hero's, help me.. please. All I want now is to not let others go through what I am."

Izuku took Zaleem's hand in his. " Of course. And even if I were to say no, we all know that you would find a way to get past me saying no. You might even just steal one of my books when I'm not looking." He said now laughing.

After a few weeks Mrs Midoriya adopted Zaleem, and Zowen. Now Izuku, Zowen, and Zaleem were officially siblings, or at least the closest they could get to being related. Every birthday, holiday, and event that happened after that day, they would do as siblings not just friends. Zaleem's name was no longer Zaleem Miuki it was now Zaleem Midoriya.
