"Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won't let this pull me overboard" 

"God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown"

"So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most"

"And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
And I can't breathe"


Everyday I fight to keep my head above the water, fearful that if I stop struggling for even a moment, I'll drown. The waves are too strong for me to swim through! But still every time I gasp for air I'm fighting for my life, trying to hold onto any sanity I can find in this living hell filled with stormy weather; but it seems like I can't keep it all together by myself. It feels like I can't breath! It's all so suffocating! God please keep my head above the water, don't let me drown! Someone please come and save me, I CAN'T BREATH! I CAN'T CONTINUE TO FIGHT ON MY OWN! I-I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH! I try to reach for something, anything as I fight to keep my head above the water but something continues to nip at my feet, wrapping around my ankles to drag me down a bottomless abyss. 
Just as I'm about to go down a light shines on me, and another, then three and four more! I feel someone reaching out for me but it's too late. I'm already under but just when I was about to give up I feel someone grab my extended hand that was silently begging someone to take it.

"You know, you weren't supposed to see them." He dropped my arm. "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" He grabbed my other arm, exposing those cuts as well. Bloody bandages fell to the ground and his expression changed. "Is this supposed to make me feel better?!" He held both my arms in front of me. I could feel his hands shaking. I could hear his voice breaking. He was yelling, but I knew it was a facade. He wasn't angry. He was worried. He was sad. He just doesn't know how to express anything else. "It's fine. Don't worry. I'm okay." He dropped my arms and stepped back a bit, looking down for a few seconds. He yelled in frustration, pushing me to the ground suddenly. I avoided eye contact. "In what world?! What part of your fucked up mind is telling you that this is okay?! Because let me fucking tell you right now, if you ever fucking do this to yourself again I swear...." He punched the wall and yelled in frustration, taking a deep breath to calm himself. He paused for a few seconds before speaking again. "Get up." He held out his hand and I took it, standing up shakily. He grabbed my arms again, staring at them sadly. "Again? Why would you hide them again? Why this again?" He pled desperately. "You two." A different voice from across the hallway said, making us both jump a bit. Aizawa walked over to us, looking down at my cuts with slightly widened eyes, then back up at me with a concerned expression. "I need to talk to both of you."

Ever hear of people who get lost in someone's eyes? Well, guess what - I won't even be able to find the person to get lost in their eyes, 'cause I lost myself somewhere in the middle of nowhere before that could even happen. It all started when my Aizawa-Sensei told me to go run a lap with the rest of the class. Simple enough, right? Well, leave it to me to turn that into a total disaster. I was just trying to keep up, you know, but somehow I ended up taking a wrong turn and got completely separated from the group. Next thing I know, I'm wandering aimlessly around the school, with no idea where I'm supposed to be. I'm just going in circles, trying to retrace my steps, but it's like my internal GPS just stopped working. It's so frustrating! I swear, I could be standing right in front of the person I'm looking for, and I still wouldn't be able to find them. I managed to make my way up to the rooftop, which was supposed to be off-limits, but at that point, I was just desperate to find my way back. And let me tell you, trying to explain to the Aizawa-Senei how I ended up locked on the rooftop while the rest of the class was down below, running their laps like normal people? That was a whole other level of awkward. What am I supposed to anwser I don't know it myself. The door leading to the rooftop was supposed to be closed... It's like I lost all sense of direction and self-awareness in that moment. I just wish I could be one of those people who can get lost in someone else's eyes, you know? But first, I've gotta figure out how to stop getting lost in my own life. Maybe I need to invest in a really good compass or something. At this rate, I'm gonna end up wandering the streets forever, too busy trying to find myself to ever find anyone else.

Every Wednesday and Sunday, a new chapter! "My legs are so heavy. My chest is burning. My throat is dry. My head is pounding. Am I getting sick? Am I even able to get sick? It feels like I am about to black out. Common at least make it to your room. It's getting dark. My body I can't stop it from falling to the ground." And so it begins! An Adventure with no going back. An unreal world with no way out. But at least they are not alone. Bakugo, Midoriya and Todoroki begin a journey no one has survived before. And even though it seems hopeless there is one last chance to go back to their old life's. But that is easier said then done because the one behind all of this is doing a good job at keeping them exactly were they are. Will their friendship be enough or will something even greater get them through a dream world full of monsters and imagination?! (Start: 29.07.2022; Finish: 00.00.0000)
