Resting the beautiful yellow bouquet of flowers on the cool grey stone, I stepped back, staring at the flowers. I slipped my hands in my pocket of my hoodie to give them warmth from the breeze of the incoming autumn season. As the wind blew across me face, my hair slightly covered my eyes as I continued to stand in silence.

I graduated from UA a few months ago. Maybe 8 or 9 months. I started working as an independent hero since the middle of my third year at UA. The top hero's eventually either retired, or let their rankings drop to make room for the incoming graduate of hero's, my graduating class. As I continued to build the power of One For All and make it my own, it wasn't really hard for me to climb up the rankings.

Quickly getting to the number one spot in a matter of weeks after my graduation, I had an old, town building renovated to my liking in order to start my new agency. Everyday I would either go out on missions, patrol in different cities in Japan, or sit in my office, doing new paper work. Being the top hero didn't come with all the happiness I thought it would, or at least not for me.

People always say that god takes things away from you to replace them with better things, but what exactly did I get that was better? I'd pay any amount of money, give away any of my keepsakes, retire, if need be to go back in time.

I never liked to listen when people told me not to grow up too fast. Now, I wish it's all I would've done.

This past year, it feels like everything has been going in slow motion. Every emotion lasted for what felt like years. Every night I spend by myself feeling like it was an eternity. Almost like I'm living a life I don't belong in.

This day especially, made sure to take its time, the memories of this exact date, lingering in my head.

I've never seemed to forget or get over it, how could I? Where's my happy ending?

As I stared down towards my feet, a warm tear slowly ran down my cheek, instantly going cool as the cool atmosphere made contact with it.

I bit my bottom lip and leaned my head back to keep any more tears from rolling down my face. I ran one hand through my hair before bringing it down my face and bending down on one knee.

I bring my face close to the solid concrete I was standing in front of and slowly kissed it, right on the top. A few more tears came down my face as I closed my eyes and kept my lips on the stone for a moment. I pulled my face away, getting up and opening my eyes before turning and walking away. I clenched my jaw as I felt a sob coming up from my throat.

(Omg y'all I'm getting emotional writing this lmao, the music isn't helping either)

I opened the door of my car, getting in and slamming it shut behind me.

Why is the world so unfair?
