SO, BEFORE YOU GO

Chapter 10

' Our every moment I start to replay'
' But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face'

Everyone eventually left leaving Iwaizumi with a bruised face and a sick feeling in his stomach. He needed to read for himself what had happened on the day that Suga and Atsumu had saved Tooru.

Sunday 22nd July (warning attempted suicide, injury details)

Everything seems to be much clearer now as I feel the blood slowly run down the back of my neck. I reach backwards and run my fingers through the warm, smooth liquid. I bring my hand in front of my face and see that my fingers have now changed to a crimson colour. I feel calm for once even though I can hear what sounds like a war zone downstairs. I stand up, wobbling about and walk towards my desk and pick up my journal to leave my thoughts for the people that I love and some that I hate.

Mom

I appreciate all that you've ever done for me apart from bringing a monster into our home. I don't blame you, you have endured so much but I need you to be strong now. Please promise me that you'll leave him and find some who truly loves you because I know that he's out there.
I love you

Tooru x

Dad

I don't think that I can ever forgive you for leaving us. You promised that you'd always stay in touch with me but you lied. It's because of you that Mom and me were beaten to a pulp on numerous occasions by that monster. I hope that your new family is worth the loss of your old.

Tooru

Bastard

I hate you so much, you're a coward who enjoys beating women and children, you're repulsive. I hope you rot in hell. I have written down everything that you have done to us and have left instructions with a friend to contact the police. Have fun in jail asshole.

I hope that you are all happy with your new Captain. I hope he is a better leader and person than I ever was. Please support each other and go on to do what I could never achieve and go on to nationals.

Oikawa

Suga & Atsumu

I love you both so much. You have been my strength from the moment we met. You have only ever treated me with kindness and care and I thank you for that with all of my heart. I'm sorry that it has come to this but I'm tired, I can't do this anymore. Please look out for Iwa chan and don't be too hard on him.

All my love

Iwaizumi couldn't believe what he was reading, his vision blurred and his breathing became laboured when he saw the next entry.

Hajime

Thank you for being my friend. You brought so much joy into my life when we first met, little Hajime was so kind and caring but he began to disappear as we got older. I know that I became an hindrance to you but I never meant to.
It was easy to fall in love with you but along with it came extreme pain and suffering. I would never change it though. I hope that you find someone who loves you as much as I do.
I adore you, my love

Yours forever

"Please wake up Tooru, please. I don't want to be in a world where you're not"

At that moment the alarms went off and in ran the medical team who pushed Iwaizumi out of the room just as Oikawa's parents had returned. The three embraced each other whilst sobbing loudly. It was too much for Iwaizumi as he blacked out, falling heavily to the floor.
