Todoroki pov

I can't take it anymore I'm done I run up the stairs and into my bathroom locking it behind me.

"Shoto open this door now" I hear my sister yelling from the other side I back up and slide my back down the wall pulling my knees to my chest trying to calm myself down the banging continues.

"Natsuo help me quick, sho please don't do this" I heard my sister beg, but this time, she can't stop me I stand up and open up the cabinet above the sink pulling out three different bottles of god knows what pills I open them up and grab a handful of each.

"Sho what are you doing in there, what's that sound is that pill bottles? Sho, please don't do this" I heard fuyumi beg "Natsuo help now she" demanded I swallowed as many of the pills as I could. soon my vision started to go blurry, and my heart began to race, is this what death feels like I questioned as I felt my body begin to go numb, I heard the smashing of a window then everything went black

Beep beep beep beep

I groan and turn over what the heck is that sound, that's not my alarm. I slowly open my eyes and sit up, looking around.

"Oh my god sho" I heard someone say as they hugged me a stayed still they pull away, and I look to see fuyumi with tears in her eyes Natsuo stood by her side.

"Wha-" I tried to speak, but nothing came out.

"Hey slow down don't force it it's going to take some time, and I'm guessing you are going to ask what happened," Natsuo said I nodded closing my eyes from the headache.

"y-you don't remember?" I heard fuyumi trail off I slowly shook my head

"Umm well you locked yourself in the bathroom despite fuyumi's begging you wouldn't open up we heard the sound if pill bottles so I climbed out your window and broke through the bathroom window... Shoto you tried to kill yourself" he trailed off I looked to fuyumi who had tears rolling down her face.

" they have diagnosed you with anorexia and major depression... we cant help you if you're at home... technically dad your legal guardian but since he's away on business I'm the one who has parental control... we think its best you stay in a place where you can get better help, iv already looked around the place and its good, you will share a room with three other boys your age all suffering from anorexia, the rooms don't even look like hospital rooms, Sho I'm sorry, but I have to do this, iv already lost one brother I can't lose another" she said tears still streaming down her face I looked down at my thumbs and nodded

God I can't do anything right I can't even kill myself properly. we talked, well they spoke to me for another half hour then had to leave I let out a sigh and lay down looking at the ceiling suddenly there was a knock on the door, and a lady with black hair with silver ends walked in

"Hello Todoroki, I am Lilliana hunter, please call me hunter, I work on the ward you are going to be put in I thought I should come to introduce myself before we move you" I nodded not being able to talk.

"Ok so I need to ask you some questions so we can offer you the best help we can now I'm aware you can't speak, so I brought a whiteboard and pen," she said with a smile handing it to me.

"Ok so question 1 on a normal day how much would you eat" I sighed and wrote on the board.

Nothing

"Ok umm how many days do you normally go without food? And when you do eat what sort of things do you eat."

I eat little bits here and there nothing much really she hummed in response.

"Ok so I know you are here because of an attempted suicide, is this the first time you thought about this or..."

Iv tried many times in the past but have always been scared, this time I did it, and I still can't even do it right I wrote down.

"Ok... may I check your arms and legs? She questioned I hesitated for a second but finally give in realising no matter what I do there's no getting out of it she rolled up my sleeves to reveal my arms you could bearly see the skin from how many scars there where, some years old some weeks old my legs were just as bad. she wrote something on her notepad

"Ok, so it's getting late I will go let you rest and tomorrow we will take you for a look at your new room, you can meet the boys your will sharing with, they are all nice and friendly" I nodded. She left I lay down staring at the ceiling soon another doctor came in and injected something into my arm saying it will help me sleep soo after I felt myself slowly falling into sleep.
