Closer to you

                                    

                                          




It had been two weeks since that incident and I still couldn't face Tamaki. After my internship I decided to take some days off from school. Things had gotten complicated and we never found the person responsible for hurting the girl. She was taken into a safe house where she'd be protected 24/7 until whoever was a part of this was caught. I knew that hiding wouldn't do me any good but I didn't know what else to do. The nightmares haven't stopped and no matter what I did I still saw his face every time I closed my eyes. 
                          
"Y/n.." 
                          
My mom opens the door and she looks at the ground. 
                          
"He's here again isn't he?" 
                          
She nods and I look out the window. I see Tamaki waiting and I sigh. Ever since that day he hadn't stopped trying to get my attention. I knew his intentions were good but I couldn't let anyone see me like this. I didn't want him to see me like this. 
                          
"You know what to tell him.." I say to her.
                          
She stayed quiet and left my room and did what I asked from her. I just wanted to stay alone. I couldn't bear the feeling I felt inside me and I didn't know what else to do. I wanted to see his face. I wanted to talk to him but I couldn't do it. I wished somewhere along the way that I could change the feelings I felt inside. To let go of the pain. 

                          
[Tamaki's POV] 

                          
"I'm really sorry.." 
                          
I looked up at her window and saw a glimpse of her. I hated not being able to do anything for her. 
                          
"Thanks anyways.." 
                          
I smiled and started to walk away. I couldn't just stand by and watch her do this to herself. I needed to do something. To see her smile once again. 
                          
"Hey." 
                          
I turned around and to my surprise it was Todoroki. He wore the same expression he always wore on his face and stayed still. I wasn't sure what to say to him and I was surprised he was even talking to me since he always headed to y/n house after me. I stood silent waiting for him to say something and it felt as if we had been standing here for an eternity. 
                          
"Have you.." 
                          
He hesitated for a moment and looked at me with a serious look. 
                          
"Have you talked to her?" 
                          
She wasn't talking to him either? I was surprised by this since Todoroki had known Y/n longer than me. This meant she was really keeping everything by herself. 
                          
"I haven't.." I admit. 
                          
He seemed angry by my response and approached me. He grabbed the collar of my shirt and stared me straight in the eyes. 
                          
"You're telling me she's been by herself this whole time!?" 
                          
His eyes were filled with anger but I could tell he was more angry with himself. I grabbed his wrist and looked at him. This wasn't the time to be doing this and I hated the idea of saying this to him but I really had no choice. 
                          
"I want to know about her! That day.. She told me she saw something she wished she could forget. I'm not sure what she meant by that and I want to help her anyway I can! So can we please just have a civil conversation? For her sake?" 
                          
He stared at me for what seemed an eternity. I wasn't sure what he was thinking but I really hoped he would at least tell me what I needed to know. He let go of my shirt collar and sat down on the nearby bench. I sat down beside him and he stared down at the ground. 
                          
"I guess I really don't have a choice. It happened 6 years ago."
