Chapter 2. White Walls

**THIS CHAPTER HAS SOME TRIGGERING TOPICS**
—————————
I hear yelling as I slowly open my eyes, blinking a couple of times to adjust to the new lighting. I lay there, taking in the surroundings as the yelling gets slightly louder.
"Kacchan must be home.. I wonder what time it is.."
I slowly sit up and reach for my phone, examining the cracks in the glass for a moment.
As a result of the bullying I land on my phone a lot. I'm actually surprised it's not broken..
I finally press the home button, light flashing on the screen, and I look at the time.
'5:00pm'
Looks like a slept for a while. I sigh as I turn my phone off, slipping it into my pocket as I swing my legs over the side of the bed, standing up and making my way out of my room.
As I exited that room, the commotion got louder. Maybe I should of just stayed in there.. it's not like I come out a lot anyways.. but just as I'm about to retreat back into my room, I heard Mitsuki calling for me. I groan internally as I make my way down to where everyone was, keeping my distance like I normally do.
"Ah! Izuku! I noticed you were asleep for most of the day so I thought you might be hungry. I made you some rice balls."
Kacchan scoffs as I answer.
"Thanks.. but I'm not hungry.. I'm actually feeling tired again..."
Mitsuki glances at Masaru before glancing at me worried.
"Okay. I'll put them in the fridge for if your hungry later.."
"Thank you... for everything.."
And with that I retreated back up to my room. I could hear her talking about me worriedly in a hushed voice but I don't care. I'm just...

So tired..

Tired of school. Tired of the bullying. Tired of living with the Bakugo's. Tired of not being with my mother.

And tired of life itself.

Maybe I should listen to Kacchan's advice..

Maybe if Lady Luck would be on my side..

Maybe I'll have a better life after rebirth..

Maybe..

As a tear slips down my cheek and I slowly walk over to one of my cupboards and grab out my Stanley Knife.
I push the blade up and stare at it as more tears escape my eyes. I'm so done!

"I'm so done with my shitty life!!"

I rip the bandages off of my wrist as I press the cold blade against my skin, applying pressure so it digs into my skin, ripping flesh and drawing blood.
Pain..
Pain..

I need to feel more pain!!

I need to make up for all the pain I couldn't stop my mother from going through..

For all the pain I deserve..

I dig the blade deeper into my skin as a scrape it across the width of my wrist, making a red line of blood. As the blood continues to flow out of the deep cut, it starts to drip down my arm..

"I deserve this" I mumble as I choke back tears.
"All this pain.."
"All this suffering.."
"If only I wasn't born such a quirkless loser I could've saved her!!"
"I could have saved her...."

My eyes become dull as I finally look down at the damage I caused my arm. I've cut through old scars. Cuts that haven't healed. My arm continued to be stained in red as I start to become light headed. I've lost too much blood. I try to make it to the bathroom so I could get to the first aid kit, stumbling around the place, knocking things over. And frankly making a huge racket. I hear footsteps approach and Mitsuki's voice calling out. My surroundings get darker and darker. Before I knew it... I fell to the ground. My eyes start to feel heavy as I see a pool of blood start to form just below my arm. The last thing a remember is Mitsuki opening the door and running over to help me.

Then everything fell dark.

White filled my vision as I opened my eyes. Bright lights coming from every angel. I sit up slightly to take in all my surroundings. White walls. The sound of a heart monitor and the stench of drugs. A hospital.. I must have fainted after loosing too much blood.
I look down at myself. A blue hospital gown was in place of my clothes and an IV was connected into my hand.
I sigh as I rest my head against the wall.
Great..
Now I'm probably going to be put in therapy while stuck here for monitoring.
Nothing can help me..
I deserve to die..
I deserve to die because I couldn't save her..
My mother...

Corrupt thoughts flooded my mind as a nurse walked into my room.
"Midoriya Izuku, correct?"
I nod.
"You fainted due to loss of blood after cutting yourself."
"..."
"In a state of depression I assume."
"You're blunt.."
"I don't get paid to be nice. I get paid to do my job."
"Anyways you'll be monitored and a therapist will come in here every day until you are discharged after deemed to be in a stable position."
I nod.
"I'll bring some food in a bit later. Get settled in cause this will be your home for a while I assume." As she says that I feel her gaze upon my bandages.
"...What about school?"
"They have been notified."
I nod again.
"Oh also. You have a visitor."
"Who?"
"Her name is Eri Chisaki. She helps around here. She says she wanted to meet you and get to know you."
I nod.
"I'll send her in."
The nurse walks out of her room and a couple of minutes later, in her place, a young girl with silver hair and red eyes walk in. She couldn't be older than 6. Maybe 7. I look at her as she walks up to my bed. She looks dull. Almost like a doll.
"Hi. I'm Eri.."
