"Hey Shōyō didn't turn up to class in the afternoon"

"What? I saw him to into school"

"He definitely wasn't there"

"This is bad, we've got to go find him"

————————————

"I'm so happy to see you! Loving the new hair darling" the brown haired lady smiled sinisterly, her dim green eyes squinting as she stared at Hinata.

'𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟.'

'𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑆ℎ𝑜̄'

Yua's words rang the boys mind as the lady neared him. He wanted to scream and run away but something kept him tethered to the ground.

Sort of like an invisible force.

"D-don't come any closer" Hinata trembled under her sickly sweet gaze. Something didn't feel right. She wasn't here to simply see her son.

"Oh my! You look like a skeleton honey, what happened?" She asked with fake innocence, her eyes shining with hatred.

She placed her slender hand upon Hianta's hollowed cheek; gently caressing it with her thumb. She had brightly red painted nails, giving off an even more sinister aura than before as she acted as if nothing ever happened between.

Suddenly Hinata snapped out of it and harshly smacked her hand away; a scowl plastering his features.

"Get out of my life. And stay out, I want nothing to do with you" he hissed through clenched teeth, squeezing his fists tightly while glaring at the woman.

Her face flashed with rage before it quickly softened. It was almost unnoticeable if you weren't to look closely "my dear, I've come to be the best mother. You'll never be alone again...

I promise"

——————————————

"God dammit where is he?!" Ukai yelled, the absence of Hinata was starting to worry him greatly now.

All of the team had followed him back home to look and he wasn't in Ukai's house anywhere. They checked his room, bathroom, kitchen, toilet and even Ukai's bedroom.

He literally vanished out of plain sight. No one knew where he had gone.

"Where is that Boke..." kageyama sighed to himself worried, sitting down on the couch as everyone followed.

"Does anyone know where he could be?" Sugawara asked hurriedly, looking at the group of equally worried boys.

Everyone shook their head in disappointment. No one knew where he could be.

Sugawara sunk into his chair with his head in his hands; straining his mind to think of any possible locations.

Suddenly a quick knock founded at front door "I'll get it" Ukai shouted as all attention snapped towards the entrance.

Everyone silenced immediately and listened to the conversation "h-hello! I'm Hinata's friend Yua and I know where he is!" A high pitch voice yelled, her statement making their heads perk.

"Tell us quickly" Ukai instructed, the whole door now being crowded by the team.

"H-his old house, you know his mother right?" She trembled, tears threatening to fall. Ukai violently nodded his head "yes yes go on"

"His-his mum is there, she's going to do something bad to him please help!" She cried, gripping into Ukai's shirt and pulling him out the house.

The coach gave a meaningful glance to everyone and they started to follow the girl.

"Hurry up! We need to get their quickly!"

—————————————-

"N-no! You're just going to leave again, you always do" Hinata started to shake violently, beads of sweat travelling down his forehead as he looked at the woman.

She was the reason for all his troubles.

If she had just stayed... he would be normal.

Hinata would've been happy.

Maybe... he could trust her now? What if she had changed?

He could have a second chance at being a normal teenager.

Hinata wanted nothing more than to be normal, and maybe he could be that again if he rebuilt his relationship with her?

The lady smiled, her thin red lips showing of a set of pristine artificially whitened teeth "I'll show you love again Shōyō" she lured, a slender hand being outstretched in front of her son.

Hinata reached out a shaky hand; his whole body told him not to take it but he impulsively connected their hands together.

Her hands felt soft. It was something he yearned for. The touch of a mother.

The lady grinned triumphantly; pulling Hianta's small frame into her embrase. Her arms snaked around his shoulders as he nuzzled his face into her warmth.

Hinata wanted to be loved again.

She carefully reached for something in her back pocket while Hinata was focused on their hug. A smirk of satisfaction began to tug at her lips; leading to an creepy ear to ear grin as she wrapped her fingers around the bace of something sharp...

———————————-

"Come on! How far away is it!" Ukai yelled, jogging behind the pink haired girl. She sniffled as her breathing became fast and ragged.

Slowing down she pointed a shaky finger towards the direction of Hinata's little house. He definitely wasn't a runner so decided to tell them where it was instead.

"O-over there, two blocks down" she breathed out between pants; sending all of them sprinting in the direction.

"Please Shōyō, please be ok"

——————————-

Hinata looked up at his mother; never pulling away from the embrace once. His eyes met those of hers.

Her eyes held a psychotic hatred; black pupils vibrating with excitement as the lady pulled out a long recently sharpened knife.

Hinata's eyes widened with fear and betrayal, he was wrong.

He was wrong to think he deserved love.

The silvery blade shon in the light, it's surface mirroring his own face. Hinata looked at himself in the reflection; he looked so broken.

How gullible and naive he had been.

The sharp point seemed to glisten as she held it happily, licking her lips eagerly at the sight of Hinata's frail expression.

The corners of Hinata's mouth curled in a weak smile, his eyes closing as a singular glass-like tear rolled down his cheek.

She slid the knife deep into his chest.

Not stopping until only the hilt was visible.

His lips looked swollen.

His skin grey with a chocked expression.

He was surrounded by blood. The crimson liquid heavily seeping through his clothing.

"I never loved you" she whispered, twisting the knife in his heart.

His mouth began to leak blood; the once soft pink lips stained a dark horrific red.

Hinata gave a lifeless smile towards the gleeful woman. She looked to be enjoying every second of his demise.

The teen used what was left of his strength to raise his hand and place it on her cheek "I forgive you" he breathed out, falling deathly still onto the floor.

"OPEN THE DOOR! OPEN IT RIGHT NOW!" A booming voice screamed from the other side; the person's fist being connected with the door repeatedly.

The lady took a step back. Her eyes scanning her bloody hands... her son's blood.

The door came crashing down with a final blow. Everyone staring at the scene at hand.

There he lay. His final resting spot on some cold wooden floorboards. An ever growing pool of liquid seeped from underneath him, the knife still firmly lodged into his chest.

There was no one else there except some bloody footprints leading to the window.

"SHŌYŌ!" Ukai screamed, voice filled with raw emotion as he uselessly tried to put pressure on the wound.

Hinata choked on his breath as everyone watched in horror, they wouldn't even move a muscle.

Ukai's tears dropped into Hinata's face, mixing with that of his own blood.

His brown eyes became Misty and dilated, eyelids fluttering closed as he head lulled lifelessly to the side, signifying the end of his torture.
