Chapter 3. Eri..

"Hi.. I'm Eri.."
Her voice was soft and lifeless.
"What's your name?" She continued.
"Izuku. Izuku Midoriya."
"I-Izuku Midoriya.." She struggled to pronounce my name. It's sweet of her to try though.
"You can call me Deku if it's easier to say."
"Deku?"
I nod.
"Okay Deku!" She Slightly smiles. She doesn't seem like the type to smile easily so I'm honoured.
"So what brings you here, Eri?"
"Oh.. right."
"Hm?"
"I just wanted to introduce myself. I heard you're going to be here for a while so I wanted to let you know you have a friend."
I smile in what felt like forever.
"Thank you Eri."
I go to place my hand on her head and she flinches Away. As I start to study her body language I notice all the bandages around her body. I let my hand fall to my side again.
"Why do you have all the bandages?"
"O-Oh! I-I'm just really clumsy.."
"...I know an excuse when I hear one."
"..."
"What's the real reason? I won't tell."
"It's unimportant. I don't want to force my problems onto yours.."
Eri Starts making her way to the door and once arrived she turns back to look at me.
"It was nice meeting you, Deku."
And with that she walked out of the room and the nurse from before walked in with a tray of the bland hospital food they serve.

It's been 2 days since I have been emitted into the hospital. The IV and the heart monitor was disconnected after I woke up and was in a stable position. Eri comes to visit a lot. It's nice to have her company. She's grown to be like the little sister I never had. As we were talking, Kacchan and his parents came in. I turn my head to the entrance. Yep. It's them. I thought they wouldn't visit. I'm not their actual child. Eri looks at me and I guess she saw the expression I held on my face. I noticed and looked back at her smiling.
"Oh you have visitors Deku. I'll come visit you tomorrow. Bye."
Eri leaves the room as the Mitsuki comes up to me.
"Hey Izuku. Feeling okay?"
"Okay as you can get staying in hospital.."
I slightly glance towards Katsuki. Looks like he was forced to come along.
Masaru came and sat down in the chair next to my bed.
"So Why did you try and kill yourself?"
"Wasn't that obvious. My life is hell. I didn't deserve to live. I still don't."
"..."
"And you guys didn't have to worry about me anymore. I'm not your child so you didn't have to be so kind to me. I thank you for doing that but I didn't want to bother you anymore."
"You weren't bothering us! Right Masaru?"
He nods.
"..."
Mitsuki Sighs.
"We'll leave you be. We'll come visit you tomorrow Okay?"
I nod and Masaru and herself left. Kacchan stayed behind after saying he'll be right out there and then walks up to me.
"Oi! What's the deal with you trying to off yourself!?"
"What's with your concern all of a sudden..?"
"My parents are worried sick for a nobody like you!"
"They shouldn't be.."
"Exactly! So why'd you do it!"
"I already said.."
"The real reason Nerd!"
"I just simply followed your advice."
"What?"
"You told me that I should kill myself and then if I'm lucky enough, I'll get a quirk in my next life.. I gave it some thought and then tried it. I was stopped though..."
"..."
"Tch. Then do it!" And with that Kacchan stormed out of the room. Not noticing the small girl with pale blue hair, hidden, eavesdropping on us. I looked down at my bandaged wrists.
"Believe me. I will..."

Today is the day..
The day I rid myself of the world..
The day I join my mother...
It's been 5 days since I last tried to kill myself...
They have showed no sign of me being discharged. Guess I'm not in a stable position. I don't blame them for thinking that way. Because it's true.

I'm not stable.
Mentally or emotionally.

They don't let me near anything that will kill me.
I'm hardly even allowed to leave the room without supervision. And forget about me going up to the roof. It will be a bit hard to do this..

But I will do this.

The world would be better off without me.
I guess I'll just wait until night when they think I'm asleep. Or early in the morning. I don't know when I'll do it.. but I will..

I will successfully kill myself. Sooner or later..

I will..

My eyes suddenly feel heavy after relaxing on my bed. Thinking it was about time to sleep anyways I allow my eyes to fall shut, lulling me to sleep.

As I awoke the next day, I was greeted with the faces of the Bakugo Family.
'Just great' I thought to myself.

I'm still going through with this though. I have vowed to myself that I will make this world a better place.

Without a quirkless nobody like myself.

As I sit up, I see Mitsuki smiling at me.
"How'd you sleep Izuku?"
"..."
My eyes were dull and I continued to stare ahead of me, not making any eye contact. I felt tired. More tired than usual.
"Oi. Deku. You okay."
Such great acting Kacchan. I make no effort to move my mouth or respond in anyway.
"Izuku?" Mitsuki questioned.
Same response. Nothing.
"Doctor. Is something wrong?" Masaru questioned the doctor.
"Not to worry. He does this sometimes. This is exactly why he has to stay here. He is far from being mentally stable."
"..."
"He doesn't touch his medication either. He has no intention of getting better. But fear not we are keeping close eye on so he doesn't kill himself."

Familiar pale blue then filled my vision. Eri! My eyes then filled with a bit of life as she smiled at me.
"Hey Deku."
"Hey Eri."
The doctor Sighs.
"Hello Eri. I see your here to visit Izuku again?"
"Uh Y-Yes Doctor.. do you mind if we go on a walk.. it might make him feel better."
The doctor Nods.
"Of course. You don't mind that do you."
He looks at the bakugo family as Mitsuki shakes her head.
"Not at all."
Eri then tugs at my shirt.
"C'mon deku. Some fresh air will be good for you."
I nod as I get up from the hospital bed and follow the small figure in front of me.
"Want to go to the roof?"
"Uh sure.."
This could be my chance. But I don't want to scar a 7 year old. She says nothing as we make our way to the roof. As I open the big metal doors, light filled my vision, temporarily blinding my vision. Eri made her way to the edge, looking down the building.
"Go ahead."
"Excuse me?"
I was confused with The sudden encouragement Eri gave me that I didn't know what was for. She looks me straight in the eyes. The dullness of them piercing daggers into me.
"Jump..."
