Lies and Empty Promises

🖤 "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!"

He pulled me by my hair dragging me into the house.

"Please let me explain"

I pleaded, grabbing his hand but his grip only tightened.

🖤 "ANSWER MY QUESTION, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!"

He threw me against the wall, my back hitting the wall and getting the air knocked out of me. I struggled to breath I kept gasping for air.

My father walked toward the kitchen before pulling out a syringe from one of the drawers.

🖤 "I'm going to ask you once more"

🖤 "Where were you?"

He walked toward me slowly, fear struck me.

"I was at work, we had a few late customers so we had to stay a little later than usual."

He stopped for a moment.

🖤 "You really expect me to believe that crap."

🖤 "You were probably with some guy"

I shook my head repeatedly.

"No I swear"

He grab my arm and injected me with the drug inside the syringe.

🖤 "YOU WHORE"

🖤 " WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW, YOU DONT HAVE YOUR QUIRK TO PROTECT YOURSELF"

Everything was getting blurry, my eyes were getting heavy and I barely had any strength to run. I used the wall to help me stand, I tried walking off but I knew he wouldn't let me. He took advantage of the situation and beat me repeatedly, I could feel the bruises forming on my body. I could feel blood running down from open cuts and sores. Once again he grabbed my by my hair and slammed my face into the near by window.

Today was one of those days he had been out drinking with his friend, the same friends who first sold him the drug. This drug could prevent anyone from using their quirk no matter what it was. I was rendered helpless every time he used it. There was nothing I could do to escape the effects of the drug, and there was no one I could turn towards for help. I was alone, left to endure every beating.

After he was done he left me in the hallway, beaten and bloodied just left on the floor like garbage. He left the house and I could hear the car starting, I could only assume he went back to drink with his buddies. Unable to move I just laid there, it was cold and I was hungry but there wasn't anything I could do. I was in no condition to do anything but lay there waiting for sleep to engulf me. Before closing my eyes I whispered to myself, a phrase with no meaning but wishful thinking.

"If only I had wings."

The next morning was the same routine, I awoke to the car starting. I got up and went to the bathroom. My eye was swollen and discolored. I let out an elongated sign before hopping into the shower. I got ready for a long day of stares and whispers. I wore gray pants with a dark blue turtleneck, I put my shoes and jacket on, grabbing my bag and walking out the door.

On the way to Headquarters I felt so many stares, people just talked and talked. All saying the same things

🤍 "Is she okay?"

🤍 "She should go to the police?"

🤍 "How can she live like that?"

I just shut them all out, not wanting to be reminded that I'm living in hell.

I arrived at Headquarters and I walked in. I walked up to the third floor where I start organizing my desk and setting up for the next briefing. I was waiting a few minutes before I heard, yet again more yelling presumably from Bakugou. He was yelling at Midoriya and Todoroki. The door opened and I turned my back to the entrance.

"You are a few minutes late, come in and sit so we can start today's briefing."

I scolded them.

💚 "You are right, we are so very sorry."

❤️ "Yes I apologize for my tardiness."

🧡 "HEY SHORT STUFF, while we're on the subject it's rude to talk to people with your back turned."

He was right, I sighed and reluctantly turned around to face them.

They just looked at me in disbelief and shock.

💚 "H-hey are you okay?"

I stayed silent, wanting to tell them but knowing it would only cause problems for them.

So I lied.

"Yeah I'm fine I just ran into a pole on the way home yesterday, don't worry about me."

They all just looked at me.

❤️ "Are you sure Yumi"

I nodded, trying to reassure them.

"Anyways we should start the briefing."

They all sat at the table while I pulled up the information.

"Starting today we will be discussing the possible hideout of Laughingstock."

"From the information I have gathered I can say with 80% that there hideout is located within Yokohama, however I do not possess the evidence to gather the resources needed for a raid."

"So for the next month or so we will be staking out the area gathering credible evidence to get a warrant, we will do these stake outs in team of team and the teams will switch weekly, be prepared for a lot of sleepless nights."

"With that being said I will now conclude today's briefing, please complete the paperwork on your desks before going home today."

We each went back to our respected desks and started filling out paperwork and important documents, before I knew it the time was already 5.

"I'm going to take a break before I finish up for the day."

💚 "Okay I'm almost done."

❤️ "Same here I've almost completed the necessary documents."

I walked out of the room and walked to the roof to see the setting sun. I got the railing and I just leaned over spreading my arms, thinking about how free it must be to be able to fly. I was interrupted by someone speaking behind me.

🧡 "HEY EXTRA DONT FALL, I WONT COME TO SAVE YOU."

Bakugou walked to the railing and stood beside me. We both stayed silent for awhile before he spoke up.

🧡 "I know you were lying."

I turned look at him, gripping the railing tightly.

"What do you mean?"

🧡 "You didn't run into a pole, someone did that to you."

I looked down debating whether to tell him or avoid the conversation.

🧡 "I just don't understand why you didn't ask for help?"

🧡 "I can help you, Midoriya and Todoroki can help you, so why not ask for help."

🧡 "We are here for you."

I was quiet not knowing what to say at first, but then the voices started speaking to me.

💔 "You have no one."

💔 "You are all alone."

💔 "No one will help you."

I shook my head and looked at the ground, walking back towards the roof door. But before I got anywhere Bakugou grabbed my hand.

🧡 "Please let us help you."

I snapped and I slapped his hand away.

"YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, I CANT JUST GET AWAY!"

"HE WILL ALWAYS FIND ME, NO ONE CAN HELP ME NOT EVER THE HEROES!"

"THESE ARE JUST LIES NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE ME!"

Warm tears were flowing down my cheeks.

"No one can save me."

"Let's just drop the subject."
