Mommy and Daddy were fighting again. I didn't know why, and it made me sad. We always stayed by the lake in our backyard. Kai would cannonball into the water while I threw smooth rocks into the water, watching the pretty ripples. Kai made fun of me for not knowing how to swim, but I was five! I ignored him. One day though, we stopped going to the lake... And daddy took Kai away from me.. Mommy started crying more often, and I always smelt beer. I tried to cheer her up, but she always cried. But we went back to the lake one day! Mommy went back inside to get more sunscreen since we ran out, she was always strict on it. I continued tossing rocks into the water, before smelling my mommy's fruity perfume. Mommy was back! We could play now! But before I could ask, she pushed me in. I couldn't breathe. My lungs were burning. I couldn't scream or water would fill my lungs... The pretty ripples were swallowing me up. I flared my little arms and legs, and before I knew it, I was screaming as loud as I could for mommy. She didn't come to get me. I hit my hands and back, and my face hit a sharp rock. I sank, deeper and deeper, before everything went black.
You gasp, sitting up as you pant. "It was just another nightmare..." You remind yourself. Curse your HSAM, stupid photographic memory... You look around your hospital room. You had been placed there by U.A because of a deep stomach injury that could've killed you while getting attacked by villains. Your teacher, Aizawa walked in concerned.
"Hey kid, you alright..?"
He sits down on the edge of your bed, resting his hand on top of yours. You sigh and lay back down, looking at the ceiling.
"Yeah.... Yeah."
