Silence

Tsukishima's POV

Shrimp has been kinda quiet.
Is it because Kemi?
Did he say his secret to him?
Or is it because of Iwazaki?
Iwazaki seems like a cool guy.
I don't understand why the tangerine doesn't like him.
The kids seem to be having fun watching us.
Cheering us on.
Hinata was on my team so, this was going to!-
Iwazaki coming into a spike..

"Ready and.."
I jumped. But, Iwazaki spiked it where the Shrimp was at.

Ah?!!?
He didn't jump??
He's not even paying attention, this dumbass!

"Oi Shrimp! Tangerine?!" I tried calling him several times but he was just staring into space.

Hinata's POV

I feel so scared.
Am I shaking?..
No..
I'm not ..
But why do I feel so scared?..
Is it because of Iwazaki?..
I feel like tearing up.
No! Shoyo don't do this.
Not now, don't make a fool of yourself in front of Iwazaki.
You may not be good enough, but don't show that you aren't.
Show that you can beat up to his level.
I hear my name ..
The voices in my head, are coming back ..
But the voices don't call me Shrimpy ..
Nor Tangerine..
Is this a new one?
No wait, this is the real world, not my head!
Get out of space SHOYO!

I got out of my mind. I flinched and saw all eyes were on me. "Finally! You okay? Need a glass of water?" Tsukishima said in concern. I looked at my hands and they weren't shaking. I looked at Kemi, he had a sad expression on. Natsu was scared. Akiteru was just holding the volleyball. Iwazaki was giving me a smirk.. and Tsukishima was just worried ..

"I did it again.. I stared into space again.." I said freaking out. That's when I started to shake and panic. "I-I'm sorry!" I looked at Tsukishima, I was backing away from everybody.

"Shoyo! You okay?" Kemi ran up to me giving me water. I nodded and with sad eyebrows formed, I smiled. I took the water from him and drank the whole thing. Everybody was taking a break, after what just happened. I was sitting down by myself. Akiteru has started a barbecue, Kemi and Natsu are playing with the volleyball, and Tsukishima and Iwazaki are just laughing ..

He's never laughed or smiled that much with me ..
maybe I'm just getting annoying up to this point ..
I can move back with my mom, but ..
What if she's just acting?..
just to get me back ..
Just to get me back to keep doing her stuff and she'll go back to drinking ..
I'm just going to risk it.

I got out of my chair quickly, "Shrimp? Where are you heading?" I turned around before heading inside just to hear Tsukki talk.

"O-oh, I'm just heading inside, I feel, uh, Tired!"

I tried to make up something, I don't think he'll believe it. "Uh huh, you've been with me for 3-4 weeks by now. I'm not stupid.. Even if you're tired, you'll still be able to stay up and practice volleyball."

I gasped in silence, My theory was correct.
Everybody was filled with silence.
My hearing became in silence..

I felt someone's hand grab mine and take me inside the house.

When they sat me down, I just saw Tsukki. He was talking .. I couldn't speak, I couldn't tell him that everything was in SILENCE.
I'm starting to shake, I'm starting to cry, I'm starting to —

"Hinata!"

silence ..
