My home is where my heart lies

I miss the misery

Author's notes:

For Akali the first three classes felt like an eternity, her group harassed her, tried to abuse her. What will be next? What can the poor girl expect? Will the next lesson be pleasant, doable, nightmare? She does not know, but she is sure about one thing, she will be exhausted after only her first day of the new school.

Songs used:
Halestorm - I miss the misery

"Akali?" Samantha called her, once they finished their music class.

"What's on your mind?"

"I feel kinda ashamed about myself."

"Why?" The girl asked, turning to her teammate.

"You confessed so much and I did not even mention who I lost," Sam answered, blushing a little.

"You do not have to tell me that if you do not want to, I do not require such things from you."

"But I want to, it is only fair if you know the truth." The brown-haired woman whispered.

"Only if you are ready, it can only cause you more pain. It is just a new wound that is still bleeding, but if speaking about it helps you heal it, go ahead, I am here if you need me."

"Thank you," Sam said coolly. "We have at least 15 minutes of break and I am ready to face my own demons."

"Lead the way then, I will follow." The teenager replied.

Samantha quickly went to the nearest bench, sat, patted the space beside her, inviting Akali to join her. As soon as the black-haired woman did so, the older girl hugged her tightly and hid her face in the crook of the rogue's neck.

""I am sorry that you are the one who is helping me get through this, regardless I am grateful." She whispered.

"It is ok, take your time, gather your courage and when you are ready, just start." The ninja ran her fingers through brown tresses, trying to calm down the girl buried in her arms.

"During the math class, the teacher mentioned a boy named Phil Darth and my relationship with him." Sam started.

"Yes, I remember it, you quickly answered that it is not the reason why you wanted to postpone the test. You added that it would never be a case again." Akali responded quietly.

"Yes, he was my boyfriend since I was 15, two days ago he was in a car that was being driven by my uncle. They had a nasty accident on their way home." The girl tried to keep her voice from trembling.

"They died, didn't they?"

"Yes. My uncle died right away because the car that that crashed into them, hit perfectly at the driver seat. Phil was badly wounded, he lost a lot of blood, but doctors said he would make it. When they took him into the operating room and started the surgery it turned out that they did not know everything. One of his broken bones was perfectly located into the leg artery, doctors did not notice that and once one of them moved it a bit, the soft tissue was cut in half causing the internal bleeding. He was dead before they could do anything. Two days ago I lost my beloved uncle Joe and the boy whom I started to plan the future with." Sam ended the story and started to weep. Her whole slender body was shivering, nails penetrated the thin layer of the black-haired woman's skin and drew a small amount of blood.

"You are so brave. You put your everything into confessing that dreadful event that happened to you. Let yourself rest a bit, if you want to cry, do it, I will be there to hold you and keep you safe." Rogue whispered softly into the ear of the smaller girl.
